Fausta: FARC financing Zelaya
2009-07-28
This moves up to true WoT material: FARC is providing Mel Zelaya with financing as he schemes to take over Honduras. The story is from Libertad Digital in Spanish, and Fausta provides the translation:
Honduran authorities denounced on Monday the alleged financing by the FARC of deposed president Manuel Zelaya's followers' marches to the Nicaragua-Honduras border.
The article goes on to say that police seized a notebook and receipts showing that "Zelaya's government officials and supporters, leftist leaders, farmers, union members, and at least one mayor and one governor" were paid between $2,500 to $100,000 for the "transportation of people and supplies" to the border region.

The information was gathered from a computer seized from a FARC leader. No money was seized since the funds had already been distributed.

#3  Micheletti's government should be making that very point, OS, daily and loud, in the Honduran media.

#2  Its well known that many of Zelaya's "marchers" are getting paid to do so.

What's new is that we know who is wiriting the checks. Bet if they trace back behind FARC, they will find Hugo CHavez signature on quite a few of those.
