10/ ( which is BS, as they claim to have invested $100 million ( nowhere to be seen in Honduras ) ) to the tune of $1 billion . They want 10X return on funny money “investments” .

This is just the tip of the iceberg…

///

9/ ZEDEs laws were repealed in 2022 but right wing politicians in Honduras 🇭🇳could offer to bring them back - and Thomas Massie ( R , Kentucky) is one of several MAGAs Representatives demanding Honduras compensate ZEDEs investors

8/ A ZEDE is the libertarian concept of free cities (network state) financed by the likes of Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen that operate in Honduran territory but not under Honduran law. They operate under laws of their own choosing.

7/ Only corruption can be the reason to free a narco dictator who successfully straddled politics, Transnational crime, and corruption.

For example, JOH modified the Honduran Constitution that enabled the creation of special development zone ( ZEDE in spanish).

6/ Thus far Soto Cano has not been used for extrajudicial execution campaign Trump & Hegseth run in the Caribbean. If JOH or his party ( the Partido Nacional) were to return to power they will swing the door open for such operations . It will make look the contras like child play.

5/ If I were American Media I would also keep tabs on Tony Hernandez case. This might make Ghuislane Maxwell deal look amateurish.

JOH would be a great asset to add to Trump network of corrupt actors. Remember Soto Cano Airbase is jointly operated by the Honduran Airforce and the US.

4/ TH was so brazen he had his initials TH imprinted on each block of cocaine he moved. JOH and his brother regulated and “taxed” cocaine shipments of other cartels moving drugs through Honduras.

3/ JOH counted among his allies El Cartel de los Soles in Venezuela who helped his cocaine to fly to Honduras and on to the US - a network ran by his brother Tony Hernandez (TH) who is also serving time in the US for drug trafficking.

2/ And connections in the political world and criminal world that make Trump’s mouth water. He befriended Trump, Netanyahu; secured financing ($1 million) from El Chapo Guzman in 2013 presidential race; sold weapons to FARC, and built drug labs in the Venezuela - Colombian border.

...it's a meme, Hondurans lampooning Trump's interference.

8/ Marco Rubio was proud of calling Narco Dictator JOH his friend. It was not until JOH was found guilty that Rubio took down his pictures from his website. The pictures showing Rubio hosting JOH at his offices in the U.S. Senate . JOH serves his sentence at Lewisburg, PA Federal Prison.

9/ Only helicopters squadrons have operated out of Soto Cano to help the region during hurricane disasters.
US troops rotate every six months to avoid violation of the Honduran constitution that forbids foreign bases or soldiers on Honduran soil.
