There was one example of Hondurans protesting Israeli crimes against Palestinians during the Gaza war after the Hamas attack and Israeli stand down operation of October 7. On October 23, 2023, dozens of Honduran Palestinians demonstrated in front of the Israeli Embassy in Tegucigalpa. Since then, the long-established and influential Arab Palestinian community has been mostly silent about the plight of their Palestinian relatives amid Israel’s escalating atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank.

There is certainly a disconnect as the 300,000 members of Honduras’ Christian Palestinian community are the third and fourth generations to be born outside of Palestine. Their ancestors began arriving in Honduras from Palestine in the 1890s, and today their connection to and knowledge of Palestine and Israel is mostly superficial.

Most Honduran Palestinians don’t know the full scale or nature of the barbarism inflicted on their compatriots who stayed behind and continue to face Israeli oppression, violence, discrimination and now genocide. A Honduran Palestinian businessman told me that many in his community are afraid of being accused of anti-Semitism and facing potential consequences. Simply acknowledging that a systematic genocide may be occurring in Gaza is viewed by some as anti-Semitic.

It is hard not to notice. Since October 2023, Israeli military actions have resulted in the deaths of many Christian civilians in Gaza who have nothing to do with Hamas. In October 2023 Israeli military bombed a Christian orthodox church and murdered 18 Christians. In December, 2023 Israeli snipers executed two Palestinian women on Gaza Holy Family Catholic church property. In July 2025 Israeli soldiers fired a tank shell at a cross of the same church killing three, and wounding a catholic priest. While this all fell on death ears in Honduras, it does seem that the Israelis don’t like Christians very much.

One person who spoke with concern about the plight of Palestinians was president Xiomara Castro. In November 2023, the Honduran government recalled its ambassador to Israel for consultations due to escalating massacres of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. President Castro described Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide during a U.N. speech in September 2024.

Still, words have not turned into actions. Honduras is nowhere near recognizing Palestine as an independent state or moving its embassy from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv. In fact, Honduras remains firmly in the pro-Zionist camp as it continues to support Israel’s military by purchasing 15 Black Mamba military vehicles.

Pro-Zionist sentiment is strong in Honduras. Israeli flags are flown throughout the country. Hondurans increasingly wear the Star of David around their necks, and taxi drivers display the Israeli emblem on their vehicles.

Honduran roots of Zionism and judeophilia run deep, well over a century. The country now counts three of its presidents to be Jewish: Juan Lindo, Ricardo Maduro and Juan Orlando Hernández.

In fact, you could argue that there was a fourth Jewish president of Honduras who ruled the country from 1911 well into the 1950s. Samuel Zemurray, the Banana King, was responsible for the 1911 Honduran presidential coup that secured land and concessions for his United Fruit banana company. American mercenaries hired by Zemurray deposed President Miguel Dávila and made Honduras his “banana republic.” Zemurray installed his puppet, Manuel Bonilla, as president and received 20,000 acres of land in return.

After President Bonilla’s death in 1913, Zemurray continued to be a virtual puppet master of several other Honduran presidents. In 1947, the World Zionist Organization tasked Zemurray with delivering Honduras’ U.N. vote in support of the creation of the state of Israel. Reportedly, in a personal phone call, Zemurray tried to bribe then-Honduran President Tiburcio Carías Andino. Because of pressure from the Honduran Palestinian community, Honduras abstained from voting for Israel.

Since then and with plenty of CIA help, Christian Zionism has made many inroads in Honduras. CIA fronts such as World Vision, USAID and Protestant Church World Service for many decades worked to undermine the cohesiveness of Honduras society. Since 1950s CIA, what could be considered an Israeli captured agency, promoted establishing and expansion of Protestant churches in Latin America. The excuse given was that Protestants were more anti communist and a good alternative to Liberation Theology movement preached in many Catholic parishes.

Israel’s investment in JOH obviously paid off.

The percentage of Catholics in the country fell from 97% in the 1960s to 47% today. Protestant denominations undermined the Catholic cohesion of Honduran society. Religiously divided Honduras is much easier to manipulate, with one denomination pitted against another.

Sixty years later, those Catholic-to-Protestant converts have not only become Zionists, they are actually converting to Judaism. According to El Heraldo, 37 families converted to Judaism and, in 2022, established Honduras’ first synagogue.

The San Pedro Sula Mishkan Shlomo synagogue members advertise their plans to judaise and convert thousands of Hondurans. The plan is for the expanded synagogue to be a six story tall, shaped like a Star of David building, and be able to accommodate 456 people. This would make it the biggest synagogue in Latin America.

Ex-President Juan Orlando Hernández was key in expansion of judeophilia and Zionism in Honduras. Just in terms of economy, according School of the Americas, between 2013 and 2019 Honduras purchased $342 million in military and surveillance equipment from Israel. Basically Honduras has been supporting Israel to the tune of around $5 million a month for that period.

Basically Honduras has been supporting Israel to the tune of around $5 million a month for that period.

Road to conversion of Juan Orlando Hernández begun in early 1990s when he completed a one year Mashav leaders course in Israel. Israel’s investment in JOH obviously paid off as he learned Hebrew, moved Honduras’ embassy to Jerusalem in 2021 converted to Judaism with his entire family in 2021. The last one right before going to a US jail for 45 years convicted of decade’s long drug and arms smuggling operation.

Honduras is likely getting set up for a rough ride. Israel funded military dictatorships where even CIA would not venture. Israel trained and supplied arms to many bad actors that destabilized the region: genocidal regime in Guatemala in 1980s, Colombian drug smuggling death squads, Los Zetas drug lord Heriberto Lazcano. “Israel has given its soldiers practical training in the art of oppression and in methods of collective punishment.

Some of those officers choose to make use of their knowledge in the service of dictators,” said Israeli general Mattityahu Peled.

Honduras will likely become an increasingly polarized and violent society.

There is also a growing Israeli pressure on the Honduran public by co-opting its anti Gaza genocide sentiment into nebulous movements. The normally restrained Honduran Ministry of Foreign Affairs complained that Israeli Ambassador Nadav Goren meddled in internal Honduran affairs by meeting with Protestant church leaders preparing for the August 16 March for Peace and Democracy. “We express to the Honduran people our deep discomfort at their participation in said public event. The involvement of a diplomat not only ignores his limitations,” stated the Honduran ministry.

There are plenty of other players seeping discord. Until its recent defunding by the Trump administration, San Pedro Sula was also home to the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS). The worldwide HIAS organization does not assist Palestinians, Arabs or Christians in moving to Israel, but used U.S. tax dollars to help move undocumented migrants through Honduras to the United States.

For decades, certain interest groups have promoted racial resentment —particularly among Black communities— while fostering a sense of guilt among white, European and Christian populations. In Honduras, this strategy is reflected in the 23-year-old movement known as the Fraternal Organization of Honduran Blacks (OFRANEH), which has received funding from organizations such as American Jewish World Service and the Open Society Foundations, founded by George Soros. These groups have been involved in fermenting revolutions, protests and underhanded political activism around the world.

Just as with organizations such as Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA — which was recently designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization — OFRANEH fosters division, racial tension, grievances and expectations of compensation in the historically well-integrated Garifuna community.

Honduras, in the second quarter of the 21st century, will likely become an increasingly polarized and violent society. Powerful interest groups are working hard to implement this, and Roatan is increasingly a party to those tensions. In September 2025, OFRANEH conducted demonstrations in Cayos Cochinos, and in March 2025, there were protests in Diamond Rock. Tensions on Roatan are just starting to heat up.

Greenland’s Shift

President Trump has repeatedly called for acquiring Greenland to be part of USA. As US pressure mounts Danish rule in Greenland that dates 200 years could be coming to an end. Greenlanders are not happy with their Danish government after a policy of forced sterilization of girls without their or their parents consent has come to light. Greenland has the highest suicide rate in the world, surpassing that of the runner up Guyana by almost a factor of three. If US managed to acquire the world’s biggest island it would jump from being the fourth largest country in the world with 9.8 million square kilometers to being the second largest with 12 million square kilometers. US with Greenland would surpass China and Canada and place just behind Russia with 16.4 million square kilometres.

Solar Disaster

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, located in California’s Mojave Desert, is set to close after just 11 years of operation and a cost of $2.2 billion. The facility is the world’s largest thermal solar power plant with 173,000 heliostats that focuses sunrays onto a 459 foot tower. The 4,000 acre folly is proving not only an energy failure by not delivering nearly enough GWh projected, but also as an ecological disaster on a massive scale. The “eco” solar plant had killed turtles by the thousands and insects by the millions. Ivanpah also became world’s biggest animal incinerator as the facility created a death trap for birds with its heliostat mirrors burning to death tens of thousands of falcon, owls and warblers as the flew by its mirrors.

Honduras Elections

On Sunday March 9, Honduras held its every four years primary elections. While Liberal party’s Salvador Nasralla beat Jorge Cálix, the ruling Libre party’s Rixi Moncada, who is currently Secretary of National Defense and Secretary of Finance, easily beat Rasel Tome. National’s party Tegucigalpa Mayor Nasry Asfura beat Ana García de Hernández, the wife of US jailed ex-president Juan Orlando Hernández. General elections are scheduled for November 30 to determine the next president and 128 deputies.

El Salvador’s Prisons

El Salvador’s prison experiment with its gang members has made a left turn. On February 4, after a one day visit from US’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio, El Salvador’s president Bukele agreed to house violent criminals currently held in US jails regardless of their held nationality. This agreement has little precedent around the world. Some of these criminals will be Salvadorians that are MS-13 gang members, others would be the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang members, and also U.S. citizens and legal residents with no US nationality. They are planed to be housed in El Salvador’s CECOT maximum security mega-prison that houses 15,000 currently, but has a capacity for 40,000.

Panama Drama

Upon taking office in January 2025 president Trump criticized Panama for allowing China a growing influence over its strategic waterway canal. According to sources Trump has ordered the military to draw up a plan how it could seize the canal. US acquired the rights to build and operate the canal, but in 1974 sold it to Panama for $1 and its control ceased in 1999. US and Panama agreed however to defend the canal against any threat to its neutrality allowing for a unilateral action to be taken to reestablish it. In March the Hong Kong-based conglomerate CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd. allowed a US based Black Rock-led consortium to purchase Panama Canal ports Port of Cristobal and Port of Balboa for $22 billion.

After a Fire, Three Hospitals are being Built on the Island

Roatan has found itself in a health crisis. On April 19, around 9pm, Roatan Public Hospital in Coxen Hole burned down in a spectacular fire. The fire destroyed 95% of the 33 year old building except for a portion of the office annex.
No one was killed or gravely injured in the fire and 60 interned patients were transferred to two nearby private island hospitals. Wood Medical Center in Coxen Hole received most of the patients and the private Hospital Centro Medico Sampedrano (CEMESA) received another dozen. “All the emergencies were attended until May 10 [for] free,” said Dr. Jackie Wood, owner of the Wood Medical Center who also helped to build the original public hospital in 1991. “My heart was broken and I cried all night. You do not imagine what I feel to see all that work [turn to] ashes.”
The firemen concluded that faulty electric wiring was the reason for the fire. “A couple years back we had a fire in a maternity room for the same reason,” said Dr. Wood.
The spring of 2024 has been full of fires breaking out all over Roatan. There has been very little rain since the rainy season ended on the island in March. Dry as bone trees and cohunes became prone to catching fire and strong winds made things especially difficult to handle.

While the fire was a disaster, it also became an opportunity to quickly and efficiently upgrade the islands hospital facilities. While the public hospital building was gone there were plenty of doctors, underutilized private clinics, a network of community clinics, a semi finished hospital in Dixon Cove, and there was an 18,000 square foot Adventist center.

Instead of quickly finishing the new public hospital in Dixon Cove, the central government decided to build a “temporary” hospital in Coxen Hole. Instead of using facilities that are available, the government set up tents in hot weather at Julio Galindo stadium in Coxen Hole.

“My heart was broken and I cried all night.”

Another site in Loma Linda area of Coxen Hole was chosen by the central government as a site for an emergency, provisional 40 bed hospital and is estimated to cost 100-150 Million Lps. It has been planned to be finished in 90 days, but due to a complicated, heavily sloped site, that is unlikely to happen.

The Loma Linda hospital site is adorned with a huge poster “Xiomara Sí Cumple,” – “Xiomara does deliver.” In fact after the fire and presidential visit the island was dotted with “Xiomara Sí Cumple” signs. There is one such poster at the Roatan international airport, one in Dixon Cove, one in Loma Linda and one at Coxen Hole stadium. A kilometer away, while central government authorities were erecting those signs, Roatan Municipality completely demolished the burned out hospital and practically flattened the old hospital site.

All in all, the facility that was closest to being able to function as a temporary hospital was the Adventist center in French Harbour. Little Friends Foundation along with Roatan Municipality operated the COVID center at the Adventist center back in 2020. While the second story of the large building was used for consultations and beds, the first story is being readied to function as an emergency center for the emergency temporary hospital before the provisional hospital is finished and before the new hospital in Dixon Cove is completed.

Six weeks after the fire things are far for clear for many islanders in need of medical attention and confusion still persisted. “The ambulances take you from the street and don’t even know where to take you,” said Steven Guillen, president of Little Friends Foundation, a NGO that was in charge of building the Dixon Cove hospital facility. “If you are dying, you have to go to CEMESA.”

In May a woman in labor was asked for money from treatment at Woods Medical Center, she didn’t have the funds, so she was transferred to CEMESA designated as an emergency care center. The transport she was using broke down and she was transferred to another vehicle. By the time she arrived at CEMESA it was too late and she died.

That could have been avoided. The Adventist center was ready to operate two weeks after the hospital fire. The current construction work on the hospital is being paid by the Roatan Municipality and donations. There is a blood testing center for TB and HIV being built as well.

For the time being, nurses and doctors are allocated to several centers around the island. While Roatan Municipality is financially and technically capable of building, even equipping a public hospital, it does not feel capable of running the hospital with accredited and paid staff – that is a step too far.

The history of the 20,000 square foot Roatan Public hospital goes back to 1991. According to Dr. Jackie Wood, it cost the government $7 million to build. It could have been much more, but many good willed people helped it along. “Equipment was donated from the United Kingdom government (…) donations from Roatan people and private companies from Roatan and La Ceiba and the central government,” said Dr. Wood.

The island outgrew the medical facility within a couple decades, but the road to the new public hospital has had been fret with hopes, mistakes, delays, and wishful thinking.

In 2006, after 15 years of the Roatan Hospital serving the public, then Mayor Dale Jackson decided that it was time to build a new hospital. Land in Dixon Cove was purchased as “an emergency purchase.” Eighteen years later that emergency still hasn’t been resolved.

The one million dollar land cost paid was an extremely high cost for the municipality. It took the next administration of Mayor Julio Galindo to pay off the purchase completely. There was nothing done during the Mayor Dorn Ebanks tenure.

While the fire was a disaster, it also became an opportunity.

When Jerry Hynds became mayor in 2018, he was able to secure a $2 million donation from Kelcy Warren, US billionaire and owner of RECO, for the construction of the hospital in Dixon Cove. “When the funds ran out the Municipality started using some of their own funds to complete the gray work. “The original discussions were that the Municipality would do the gray work and they would finish the hospital,” says Guillen. Windows, doors, some of the sewage and water infrastructure was also finished. Roatan municipality spent $500,000 and within a couple of years there was a large, 75,000 square foot two story building sitting on a hill in Dixon Cove.

In Honduras many things are accomplished when local and central government belong to the same political party, that was not the case with National Party in Tegus and Liberal party on Roatan. “ [Mayor] Jerry [Hynds] said: ‘If they [central government] are not going to join, we are going to finish it,” said Guillen. “He had it in his mind that he was going to finish it one way or another.”

In fact the construction of the new public hospital was a joint effort and not only Kelcy Warren’s donation and municipal tax dollars funded it. “May people donated freight, equipment time and helped to reduce costs,” said Guillen. While these donations were not enumerated by Little Friends Foundation, they likely run into hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In 2022 the 75,000 square foot Dixon Cove hospital building has been finished in raw state with windows and doors placed. The building sits on 8.3 acres site and there is a basement. Electric, sewer and gas lines could be installed as per requirement.

“There were verbal agreements, but never any written agreements with any administration,” said Guillen. Several visits by central government contracted engineers and architects took place. Recommendations were made, fulfilled, but nothing was put on paper and signed. “Every time the central government sent a crew of engineers they came up with a list of changes. Moving and creating walls, doors,” said Guillen.

The reality was that Roatan’s politicians were working with best intentions in a constantly evolving political climate back in Tegucigalpa. “The idea was to pass the facility into the hands of the Honduran health ministry in a raw state, and for them to finish it up to their standards,” said Guillen. According to Guillen the land title has been transferred to the national government years ago.

After Ximara Castro’s Libre Party won the national elections in November 2021 the relationship between Roatan Municipality and José Manuel Matheu, Honduran Health Minister under President Xiomara Castro, was going well. “We had a very good relationship with him. He brought in IDB [International Development Bank],” said Guillen. That all ended when in December 2023 Matheu was replaced with Carlos Aguilar. Since nothing was written down and agreed, Municipality was left holding the bag.

After the public hospital burned down a political turf war for credit as far as who is building what with whom’s money on Roatan intensified. It seems that Honduran president’s Libre Party was not willing to give credit to local authorities who are affiliated with the Liberal Party.

Then there was the bigger issue. If the new Roatan hospital was to be finishing with locally done contractors and donated equipment there would no way for big players to make money and make themselves seem indispensable. If local authorities would solve their own infrastructure and health problems, like Roatan has attempted, there would be no need for dependency on international loan institutions. That would mean 2000 bankers and bureaucrats in IDB Washington DC headquarters would lose their salaries, and that cannot be.

According to Honduran authorities $47 million dollars is now needed to finish the new hospital and equip it. The around $2.5 million spent on the building by Warren and Municipality is a rounding error of the estimated remaining costs. Now plenty of companies will have an opportunity to skim off the very high top and make money in the bonanza.

Roatan Municipality is financially and technically capable of building, even equipping a public hospital.

Local authorities say, that the building could be finished and equipped and ready to open for a fraction of that sum. “We could get all the equipment in very good condition donated,” said Guillen.

That is unlikely to happen. Since 2010 IDB has allocated 35% of its annual loan approval to “small and vulnerable” members and Honduras is qualified as one of them. IDB constantly needs new projects to allocate millions, and tens of millions of loans. Finding donors for a new public hospital is good business for IDB and good for its bottom line.

For average islanders worried about their health, the money, the funding and technical matters are too complicated to contemplate. Yet, the fact is there is money to be made loaning out money. There is plenty of money to be made in the construction of a new hospital and plenty of entities are eyeing the Roatan project.

It is the central government that decides what the municipalities need, often with a faulty understanding of population dynamics and local idiosyncrasies. This is how Roatan Island ended up with a Coxen Hole desalination plant and José Santos Guardiola with a garbage dump in Punta Blanca that never opened. These white elephants were paid from loans and grants by IDF and Inter American Development Bank. These projects are expensive and justify the existence of large international lending institutions.

The sad part is not only about the debt that is unnecessarily created, it is also that Honduras does need government investment in other parts of the country and is not getting it. One such example is the rebuilding of Canal Maya (In the Sula Valley, Mainland Honduras) that was destroyed in the 2020 Hurricane season, yet there are no funds and no one to rebuild it.

Other than IDB, another winner in this situation and all this chaos could be CEMESA. They have secured an agreement with government for treatment of patients. What is not known is how much CEMESA charges the government for these services. CEMESA prices are high, an appendix surgery can cost Lps.50,000 or more.

After the fire, a fund was set up out of which CEMESA is paid by Ministry of Health and Ministry of Finances. “CEMESA don’t have 11 million Lps. This in an insurance fund,” said Doctor Lastenia Cruz, Roatan Hospital Director, on May 29. “We are in front of CEMESA, we are meeting them constantly.”

There is a great contrast with how government and private business deal with a fire, and efficient restructuring. For example Waldina’s Tapestry shop, a private business that burned to the ground in French Harbour in February 29, 2024. With very few resources, but with much motivation, the owner was able to rebuild and reopen her upholstery and sail repair business within weeks of the fire. A great contrast to the paralysis and confusion of the central government after the Roatan hospital fire.

At the end of June there was no agreement what to call the French Harbour Adventist hospital facility. Some islanders still call it the Adventist Center, some call it Adventist Hospital, and some still call it the COVID Center.

Still the Adventist Center has been receiving plenty of non emergency patients. On May 27, Aldin Ebanks, a patient from Coxen Hole, went to Wood Clinic in Coxen Hole where he was told to go CEMESA. At CEMESA he was told to go to the Adventist center. All this took time, money, and transport expense. He was diagnosed with water in his lungs, and treated at the Adventist Center.

Roatan’s politicians were working with best intentions in a constantly evolving political climate.

The Adventist center is now open 24 hours a day and the number of specialists working at the Adventist center has been gradually increasing. “The Adventist center opening will cover all the services required by the population,” said Guillen. “They have greater capacity than the original public hospital.”

There is a plan to use both the downstairs and upstairs of the Adventist Center. The Municipal is making plans to turn the two story building into a fully functional hospital. The facility is actually larger than the original public hospital in Coxen Hole.“We are trying to centralize everything here,” said Guillen.

While the Adventist organization is letting the Honduran ministry of health use the facility without a written contract. Again, this could lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Who pays for electricity costs, for maintenance costs, or for damages is not 100% clear. “They [central government] should work with the Municipality to set up this [Adventist Center],” said Guillen. “We don’t know how long they will be on temporary basis.”

Some consultation services were decentralized from the public hospital to community clinics outside of big towns. The recently opened clinic in Flowers Bay is picking up plenty of work.

The island’s medical situation will clear itself out in a matter of a year, or two. There is one question that remains and that is whether perhaps the central government and some international organizations, despite what they say and want you to believe, are not there to help you in the most sensible and efficient way, but to exploit your problems to the advantage on interest groups.

Many of us agree to pretend that police, health, education and emigration services are here to help. We are afraid to admit how inefficient, malevolent and expensive these government entities are. The cost of realizing that would be we would have to do something about it. It is easier just to go on pretending.

$47 million dollars is now needed to finish the new hospital.

In an act of absolute brutish force to impose the candidate wanted by the president elect that saw said president herself at the steps of the congressional building with a mob of her supporters. Castro just didn’t like the outcome of the legal elections that voted in the new president of congress.

For the first time in Honduran democratic history the president of congress didn’t swear in the president of the Honduran Republic at the inaugural ceremony. Xiomara Castro was sworn in by a judge. If that’s not an admission of the knowledge that her candidate isn’t the legitimate holder of the presidency of congress, I don’t know what is.

The mob and supporters attacked the congressmen and women who held the legitimate election for the directorate of congress. They threatened their lives and vandalized their homes. ¨Fun times¨ brought to you by “the people’s government.”

There is a light in the tunnel. The lady I am in awe of currently is Beatrice Valle, a congresswoman who is calling the wrongdoers out on their BS and who ironically is a member of the ruling party. She is also the most voted congressional candidate in our history.

Valle is a proponent of the Plan B pill for little girls who are rape victims. She is also an advocate for the legalization of cannabis for medicinal purposes and export. Almost on a daily basis she exposes some new corruption scheme plotted by the government.

Honduras is going to hell in a handbag.

Valle has a twitter account and I recommend you give her a follow to keep current with the state of political affairs in this country. Jeff Ernst is also an English-speaking journalist on twitter who follows the Honduran political circus.

Let me circle back to the Plan B and Cannabis. First let’s talk about the doctors and nurses not getting paid, the campaign promises to cancel the security tax, repeal of the ZEDES law, the invitation to have an International Commission against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (CICIH) established in the country.

The current congress under its illegal directive has repealed the ZEDE law but hasn’t eliminated the regulations that govern them. There is no clear guideline for them to follow moving forward. The question is what happens to investments made under these laws?

The other piece of regulation passed by this congress was a pardon for political crimes that saw some of its members pardoned for their “political” crimes committed in the last 12 years.

The latest Engel List was published by the US State Department has 15 Hondurans on it. They are all accused of acts of corruption and 11 are current congressional representatives. Three are of the LIBRE party and members of the illegal directive of our congress. This is the sad situation.

Honduras is going to hell in a handbag, and we are too busy arguing if gays should be allowed to march in the Independence Day parades. We are being distracted arguing if Plan B birth control should be provided to underage girls who have been raped and if Cannabis should be grown in Honduras for export.

Maybe this is a bait and switch tactic. I wish we could at least get our doctors and teachers paid. Honduras needs to get back on track as the previous government was bad enough. Maybe the current government is seeing if they can double down on the corruption and scandals.

These elections are especially important in context of the 15 Honduran Supreme Court appointments that are coming up. The candidates to the Supreme Court are nominated by the Honduran bar association and vetted by congress. The sitting government politicos were pushing their candidates and the tensions ran high. There was an alliance formed against the national party and it won big.

Now the party of Xiomara Castro will control both Congress and the Supreme Court along with the executive branch of government. The new Attorney General will also be nominated and appointed by this government. While the justices will begin their terms in February 2023, this year is decisive in their nominations.

The nomination and appointment of the Honduran Supreme Court justices will have a trickle-down effect. All lesser courts have judges appointed by the judicial system under the Supreme Court. The courts under the Supreme Court are nine Courts of Appeals, 66 Courts of First Instance and 325 Justices of the Peace. That is a huge legal influence.

Xiomara Castro will control both Congress and the Supreme Court.

The new justices will also examine attorneys for their notary exequatur. The battle to control the Honduran Bar association and ethics board is likely to begin soon.

In Honduras and most Latin American countries, all notaries are attorneys, but not all attorneys are notaries. The notaries in Honduras play a greater role that in the US. Up North the only requirement seems to be not having a criminal record and filling out the application.

To become a notary, you have to submit a formal petition before the Supreme Court requesting an examination, which may be granted or not. The procedure takes about two years to be granted. It is a bit speedier procedure if you know the right people.

If you are lucky enough to get the call and be given a date for the exam, you will present yourself before the Supreme Court Secretary. You are to wear formal black attire and will be questioned orally for around two hours and forty-five minutes on Notarial Law and any subject over which Notaries have jurisdiction in Honduras. If you pass you get to be sworn in by the President of the Supreme Court and you are named a Public Minister of Oaths for the Republic of Honduras.

A Honduran notary can then marry people just like a justice of peace can, and he may authorize uncontested divorces, probate wills and a bunch of other non-litigious procedures.

The most enviable right of a notary public, the Holy Grail if you will, is the exclusive ability to authorize title transfers. Only notaries can transfer titles in Honduras. Thus, all real estate transactions must by law in Honduras be done before the offices of a Notary. To do otherwise is illegal.

The new penal code article 472 is loosely translated as “professional intrusion. Whoever exercises acts of a profession without possessing the corresponding academic title, or the corresponding qualification in accordance with current legislation, must be punished with a prison sentence of one to three years.”

There are maybe six notaries permanently on Roatan. Some others fly in for closings, but don’t live here. Other off-island notaries unethically “lend” their official stamp and legal paper to local attorneys to use while having permanent addresses elsewhere.

So far no-one has been charged criminally for impersonating a notary public, but it’s just a matter of time. The cave to of the matter is: with a criminal charge you can’t apply to become a notary so an attorney charged with such an offense could never be a notary public in Honduras.

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst”.  

 ―J. Edgar Hoover. FBI Director 1924-1972 

Honduras’ nine million inhabitants are mostly poor, most don’t have bank accounts, can’t afford smart phones, and don’t even have internet access. The country still functions as an all cash economy and many citizens are self reliant on food. Hondurans haven’t yet learned to be helpless and over reliant on the state to solve their problems.

In other words, Honduras does not belong to the first tier of counties being coerced to enter the technocratic New World Order with its digital passes, social credit score system, digital currencies, mRNA injections and New World religion.

While for decades Honduras was trying to catch up to the US and other developed countries, now that lag might be exactly what will make life here easier and more free than in lock-downed Canada, or as in the USA, arresting nine-year-olds for not having a vax certificate, or report-on-your neighbor for social credit points as in China.
Bay Islands, while much more connected to the world than other parts of Honduras, are still just a department of Honduras. That is what has made the archipelago attractive to a growing trickle of “refugees” from the USA, fleeing surveillance, mandates, passes and restrictions. In other words, seeking freedoms they lost, or they feel they are losing at home.

I recently met an Arizona businessman who purchased several beach front acres here sight unseen discovering about Roatan’s existence, in an internet search in July 2021. “These masks don’t make sense,” said this baby-boomer “refugee.” People like him have already purchased dozens of properties around Roatan and their numbers will just keep growing.

We have been subjected to a two-year-old COVID PSYOP involving propagation of fear, isolation, demoralization, and confusion resulting in increasingly fragmented, frightened, addicted and easily manipulated societies. While most developed countries have been attacked hard, other countries follow their own path.

For example, countries that have been submitted to the “Twitter revolutions” in 2011 like Syria, Yemen and Sudan have mRNA injections rates below 5%. These are countries in a civil war, where fear of a virus is basically irrelevant as people focus on basic day-to-day survival.

Honduras in some ways has played it safe. Several presidents of countries who attempted to defy the imposed narrative of lockdowns and mass mNRA injection campaigns have met a dire end. In June 2020 Burundi’s President Pierre Nkurunziza, 55, mysteriously died. In March 2021 Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli, 61, mysteriously died. In July 2021 Haitian president Jovenel Moise, 53, was assassinated in his home.

Despite their leaders being eliminated the populations of these countries continued to defy the war on COVID narrative. Burundi is probably the least mNRA jabbed state on earth with only 3,500 people injected and remaining 12 million doing just fine.
Tanzania, a much bigger African nation of 61 million, has less than 1.5% of its populations fully jabbed.

In the Americas it’s a bit of a different story. Haiti has managed to keep more than 99% of their people mNRA jab free. Guatemalans have the lowest mRNA injection rates (28%) in Central America with second lowest being Honduras with 44% of their population injected with mRNA therapies.

No one will be part of the New World Order unless he carries out an act of worship to Lucifer. No one will enter the New Age unless he receives Luciferian initiation.

In order to transition to the New World Order, the current order has to be destroyed. That requires a phase of obliteration and chaos we are currently experiencing. The last such global order restructuring took place during World War II.

The WWII bedlam started with Germany invading Poland in 1939 and ended with the creation of Israel and communist China in 1948-49.
That mayhem lasted for 10 long years and this time around should be no different. While there were many places to wait WWII out peacefully, this time around there will much fewer places of relative refuge.
Perhaps Honduras and its little Bay Islands department will be one of these places, a sort of Humphrey Bogart’s Casablanca of relative calm.

We are yet to witness the severity of the attempt to corral Hondurans into the NWO. While Juan Orlando Hernández, the outgoing Honduran president, is a great friend and follower of globalist Benjamin Netanyahu, we are yet to see how president elect Xiomara Castro will navigate her own agenda under pressures from above.

Unlike what we are repeatedly told, we are not living in a time of a reset as we will not be going back to ‘Mario Brothers’ video game after the restart. When the dust settles, we will be getting a brand new video game. Most places around the world will be likely getting ‘Omikron’ a video game from 1990s where “people are ruled blindly by an ancient supercomputer and a communist dictator with an iron fist who carries out the computer’s orders.”

Hondurans chose Iris Xiomara Castro Sarmiento de Zelaya, 62, as the first female president of the country. This was also the first time a nontraditional political party has won an election since democracy was restored in 1982. Castro’s “Libertad and Refundación” (LIBRE) party is relatively new and was established in 2011 as a spin off the traditional Liberal Party. With that party her husband José Manuel Zelaya Rosales was the President of the Republic from 2006- 2009. On June 28, 2009 Zelaya was removed from office by the Honduran military under orders from the Supreme Court.

It won’t be Xiomara Castro’s first time in the presidential palace. She already was our first lady and will now be our President. This is another unprecedented event for this country. I for one am not sure what Mel Zelaya will be referred to as “former president” or “first husband.”

Mrs. Castro has published an ambitious plan of governance, and what she hopes to achieve in the first 100 days of her presidency. Incidentally these plans seem to mirror the plans her husband/campaign, manager/party leader and ex-president Manuel Zelaya had for the country 14 years ago.

Most controversial in her plan, is the establishment of a committee to review and change the current constitution. The same plans that got her husband that one way trip to Costa Rica in pajamas in 2009.

These plans seems to mirror the plans her husband
Manuel Zelaya had for the country 14 years ago.

Castro’s political party appears to hold a majority in congress. Some results are being contested and the final tally isn’t available yet. A clear majority or three quarters of votes is needed to amend or change the constitution with members of the traditional blue and red party, as well as congressman from the newly created “Salvador de Honduras” party that is also holding seats in congress. Can she push her agenda through and actually change the constitution?

The campaign manager for the “Salvador de Honduras” party, Mr. Pedro Barquero, has emphatically stated that now is not the time to even think of constitutional reform. Barquero says it’s time to rebuild the country and end corruption, time to combat extreme poverty and streamline the tax code and make Honduras attractive to investment. Mr. Barquero is the former president of the chamber of commerce of Cortes and a person to watch for a presidential run in 2025.

The Honduran Supreme Court’s seven year term will be up in 2023 and the 15 new supreme court magistrates will be elected by this new congress. Mrs. Castro’s government will be watching this very varied congress elect the new members of our supreme court.

Another controversial item on our president elect’s agenda is the derogation of the law for ZEDES or special zones for economic development (“charter cities” such as Próspera that exist on Roatan). What happens to the ZEDES that have already been chartered and approved by the current congress? Can the new congress revoke their status? Will the current Supreme Court uphold their ruling and keep them? What will the new Supreme Court of 2023 rule in this regard? Many exciting and controversial issues coming soon to a congress near you.
