Status Report: Honduras

March 5, 2020

Much has been made and alleged about Honduras and its state of affairs since at the least 2015. During that time, there was an emergence of what was known in Honduras as a movement of Indigjados, people from a cross-section of society that were taking to the streets in tiki-torchlit marches to protest allegations of corruption involving the Presidential election that had recently taken place. A prominent journalist alleged after a protracted investigation that the President had abused his power and embezzled over $300 million into his personal election fund from the country's social security system. That journalist was charged with slander and imprisoned; the people of Honduras did not take this lightly.

Since then much has occurred that thus far has been unaddressed in an appropriate manner. One of the major events of importance is the LAST Presidential election in Honduras in Fall of 2017. After the initial results began coming in, there was a temporary suspension of the vote count after allegations of voting manipulation. While one candidate originally received favorable results, after the resumption of the count the numbers changed significantly. Oppositional candidate Salvador Nasralla did end up requesting a recount to no avail; instead the incumbent Juan Orlando Hernandez prevailed, conceding to a "meeting" to discuss how to move forward.

Accusations of election interference have been an important part of political protests around the world for quite some time; perhaps some remember requests to have outside election monitors dispatched to Honduras following the coup that was never officially acknowledged by the United States as a coup in July of 2009, perhaps not. In the last four years, however, many nations around the world have alleged interference with elections. Pakistan and Iraq have both seen street protests alleging voting fraud; indeed the Prime Minister of Iraq recently resigned.

In the United States, what had been accusations of "Russian hacking" in 2016 changed to accusations of "Chinese hacking" for 2018. There were no Congressional inquiries into this "hacking" as it may or may not have concerned manipulations in vote counts or results for the 2018 election, despite the fact that numerous primaries reported problems with their voting machines. But perhaps this is because no one has called out the recurrent patterns that are exhibited in election results. Why not?

Because these elections are funding budgets, as in federal budget. In Fall of 2017, I, a former journalist and newspaper editor, attempted to file a petition with the Supreme Court of the United States per the federal district system requesting charges be brought for consideration of a "pattern of racketeering activity" demonstrated throughout the federal appropriations process. Indeed, I had already tracked how hedges had been set up by the departing President in 2017 that correlated with other hedges set up via municipal pension schemes going back to, not so ironically, the very day that the Affordable Care Act was approved and based out of the city which was home to the Former President--of the United States. This pattern alternated, or "circulated," as a form of "currency" for those in positions to leverage it to their advantage. These metric correlations were also apparent in early voting numbers from the Honduran election and indeed were significantly apparent in the final results from the 2018 Presidential election in Pakistan.

In Iraq, the situation was different. The leadership of Iraq demonstrated with its responses in the Fall of 2018 some cognizance of external manipulation of its election when it refused to seat the full number of officials and instead only acknowledged a partial amount. This decision also demonstrated metric correlations that were evident of the circumstances under which Iraq was declaring itself to those who had cognizance and had been tracking the pattern. It did not, however, get the proper consideration, much less proper action.

Meanwhile, my 2017 effort and another effort the next year were rejected by Clerks of the Court. The pattern, however, played out differently in 2018 and 2019. At the end of 2018, there was much contestation between Democratic Congressional leadership and the President of the United States concerning approval of the federal budget. Early reports discussed how it was about a refusal for approval of the President's requests for appropriations for a "border wall" while Democrats responded that certain amounts had already been appropriated via the Department of Homeland Security. Following the metric volley at that time was alarming for anyone in the know, or it should have been. It should have been especially alarming when they started to leverage the safety of children that were then later "flipped" metrically speaking to "federal workers."

Thus far there has been no attempt within the United States to adequately address this intentional manipulation of accounting processes. What does this have to do with Honduras?

I would try to provide an answer but it is an election season and I am a "Charity."

Can I speak with a "lawyer" now?

That includes the lawyers that set up hedges on their former clients before their "election campaigns" got them to Congress or the Senate.
