3. The first part of the article sounds very like what the Bushwhacks did to the USA...
Communique from the Sociologists:

There is an element that is very important to consider within the current context of popular struggle against the military regime that assaulted Honduran constitutional order using armed force.

(SNIP)

And this element is called "COLLAPSE OF SERVICE OF THE NATIONAL DEBT."

Explained simply, the Collapse of Service of the National Debt happens once the Honduran state defaults on its internal and external debt, and so the state COLLAPSES as an Economic Entity, and transforms into an Economically Collapsed State.

And an Economically Collapsed State can only be controlled through a Permanent Military State.

The first steps were taken when the puppet Goriletti (Micheletti) illegally proclaimed a "State of National Emergency," clearing the path for the Armed Forces to dispose of national funds without the need for bidding or oversight, which in turn has contributed even more to the dilapidation of scarce national resources, bringing the country to the brink of economic collapse.

This supposed "State of National Emergency" has never been overturned, and as such its effects continue along with the suspension of constitutional guarantees for Hondurans

In this state, then, the Armed Forces have at their disposal whatever resources they feel like using, aggravating the liquidity problem of the public sector; the Armed Forces know how to spend, but they don't know how to produce those funds that they have now dried up to the detriment of the well-being of the Honduran people.

We have all heard about how the national debt is on the verge of bringing us down with it in the coming months, of course. We hear talk of the de facto regime, continued by Pepe Lobo, takings funds from prominent national institutions like those made up of teachers, key actors on the national stage.

What is not explained to Hondurans is that an Economically Collapsed State is a Failed State, a Fallen State, a Destroyed State, that is incapable of maintaining any control over the country's destiny using means other than military force and violence."

Sound familiar? Plenty of filthy lucre for the Pentagon and war profiteers--none for teachers, schools, health care, public services and the backbone of the economy--the workers.

Massively looted public coffers--except for the military.
