De facto support for the de facto regime

Updated after posting

Reuters’ Spanish service and Venezeuala’s Telesur are reporting that the IMF [International Monetary Fund] granted US$150 million to the defacto regime in Honduras, which is now into into its third month.

Both reports stem from a press release by the Honduran Central Bank (BCH).

The BCH release reads (in part):

“At the initiative of the twenty industrialized and emerging countries (G-20), presided by the Prime Minister of England, Gordon Brown, the International Monetary Fund injects liquidity into the world economy and Honduras augments it’s international reserves by $150.1 million.”

The CBH release goes on to state that the money was received on August 28th. Telesur is reporting that the IMF will give another $13.8 million to the coup regime next week.

AID, the United States’ Agency for International Development (read “agency for propping up U.S. client states”) is still kicking in to support the de facto government as well, according to Peruvian and Cuban news reports.

Meanwhile, there is still an organized attempt (supported by foreigners in Honduras and Hondurans outside the country) to convince Hillary Clinton to pretend that the coup in Honduras was not a coup.  WHICH FAILED, SINCE U.S. ASSISTANCE TO THE DE FACTO REGIME WAS FINALLY CUT OFF THIS MORNING… AFTER PREZ. ZELEYA TOLD AN AUDIENCE AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA (AND THE U.S. GOVERNMENT) RISKED LOSING CREDIBILITY IN LATIN AMERICA BY CONTINUING DE FACTO SUPPORT OF THE DE FACTO REGIME.  HOWEVER AS MUCH AS 200 MILLION DOLLARS IN VARIOUS OTHER U.S. CONTROLLED FUNDS (MOSTLY “MILLENIAL CHALLENGE FUNDS”) HAVE YET TO BE CUT OFF, BUT ARE “UNDER DISCUSSION¨”

Since the Presidential election campaigning has begun.  The elections, of course, will be meaningless:  change no one believes in.
