Reply To Many Correspondents - 05/23/07

Due to a dramatic upsurge in my e-mail during the last month, I have
concluded that somebody has organized a letter campaign at me. The flow
has tapered off now, but it was pretty impressive for a while. The
missives arrived in the form of e-mail and snail mail (directed to my
post office box) and they all carried quite similar messages to-wit:
"Now that Arnold Morris has been thrown out of Honduras, Fernando Azcona
has been fired out of his Judge of Letters job and Rita and Emilio
Silvestre have had their U. S. Visas canceled, when are you going to
shut down your Internet website and stop saying bad things about Honduras?"

I can understand a few inquiries like this happening spontaneously, but
when the total runs into dozens, I have to think it's an organized
effort. My first inclination was to simply ignore them. In fact, most of
them didn't even carry authentic names or return addresses. For just a
couple of examples, it's hard to respond to "A born Hondureno" or
"Loyalista" if they don't provide a return address. So I'm going to
answer their questions this way and hope that you who see it will print
it and pass it around through the ranks of your kindred spirits.

_My reply:_ Putting Arnold Morris back inside the waiting walls of the
Florida State Penitentiary, stripping Fernando Azcona of his judgeship
and depriving the Silvestres of their access to the United States of
America adds up to important progress toward punishing their individual
and collective crimes. I wish they had all been locked up, but that was
probably too much to hope for, much as it would have been richly deserved.

But this is, by no means, the end of the story.

I still have not had my properties restored to me, nor have I been
reimbursed for them. In spite of whatever may have happened to them
individually, the thieves are still sitting on their ill-gotten gains -
presumably with the official blessing of the "Sovereign Republica de
Honduras" and the colluding political officials and officers of the
Court, who supposedly determine whatever it is that currently passes as
"Honduran Justice". The extradition of Arnold Morris, the firing of
Fernando Azcona and the cancellation of the Silvestre Visas is
unarguable proof that the charges I leveled at these scam-artists were
absolutely true. They were and are co-conspirators in the crimes
involved. Nobody can argue this point any more. Else why would the
government agencies have taken the actions that they did?

What now remains is to: 1. Either return my stolen properties to me, or,
2: Reimburse me for the capital losses I sustained at the hands of the
conspiring thieves and co-conspiring Honduras officials. Which course is
followed is a decision to be made in Honduras. I do not care which it
is, but I insist that it be either one or the other.

I deeply regret that my publicity activities that have brought these
criminal/judicial outrages to the attention of a large proportion of the
western hemisphere have gone on so long. In the process, my
informational activities have certainly cost the Honduras government
many, many millions - and perhaps billions - of dollars in private
investments, international loans, gifts and development projects. And
the losses continue add up according to reliable advisories from
well-informed sources. This campaign is intended to teach Honduras - and
other sovereign observers - that crime really doesn'tpay. Unless, of
course, the victim just rolls over and plays dead -- and which is not my
style at all.

The unfortunate aspect of all of this is that the blameless Hondurans,
who have no culpability in the chain of crooked events, must share in
the deprivations that turning off the national "money valve" always
precipitates. But while I regret this, it can't be avoided. When
government fails to function respectably, it is always the innocent
citizens who have to pay for the corruption.

So this is my reply to those of you who inquired, as well as the rest of
you who also want to know when this vendetta will end.

I will "shut down my WebSite and quit saying bad things about Honduras"
when I have either regained my properties - or when I have been
reimbursed for their values and my direct out-of-pocket expenses for
lawyers, investigators, and related expenses involved in my attempts to
protect my interests from the gang of thieves who joined forces to
defraud me.

Until one or the other of these solutions is provided, my efforts will
continue and, to the extent possible, will be increased.

To fire a crooked Judge of Letters and extradite a well-known
international criminal, without ordering a Judicial Review to correct
their engineered crimes against people and property is the absolute pits
of governmental hypocrisy. The Honduras judges and officials who were
part of the cabal that countenanced this rip-off understand their own
guilt better than anyone else does.
_A final word:_ I have made firm arrangements that will keep my WebSite
open on the Internet long after my death, unless these problems have
been resolved beforehand. At my attained age of 88 years, this is a
crucial consideration. I do not expect to live forever.

So now you have it. I hope we can bring these issues to a satisfactory
conclusion promptly, and without further rancor. But the decision is not
mine to make. The solution lies exclusively in the hands of the same
people who allowed the subversions of the Honduras legal system to take
place. Only they can decide how they want to end it... if they do.

My mind is already made up.
