The Washington Times today, July 22, has an 'exclusive' report: EXCLUSIVE: Ousted Honduran leader accused of theft. The article refers to the cash withdrawal of L.40 million (US $2.1) from the central bank by Enrique Flores Lanza as directed by Mel Zelaya. The article also mentions the L. 100,000,950 check cashed by Flores Lanza, which the Times translates to US $550,000.

The Honduran media reported these investigations beginning on July 6. They were reported here on the Blogicito on July 7 (complete with bank security camera photos) and July 19 (originally reported in the Honduran media July 12), respectively.

Better late than never.

US does not recognize our earthquakes either

Where is our earthquake?

Since the US doesn't recognize the government of Honduras any longer, does that mean that they don't recognize our earthquakes either?

We had an earthquake yesterday but it has never shown up on the USGS Earthquake site. That is where we used to get our earthquake information.

Oh well, there is always Nicargua's earthquake site. It shows about 10 times as many earthquakes.

Use some logic

This slide show addresses some of the falsehoods that have been reported in the media.

It was prepared by a Honduran in Spanish but I've added a rough translation to English. If you have trouble viewing it, try this link to see it on Google Docs.
