US wars on terror, drugs, or for other reasons get carte blanche authority to operate freely. Limitations don't apply. Honduran and US Special Forces work with DEA agents. It's more about repression than stopping trafficking.

Rights Action reports often on conditions in the country. On May 17, it headlined "Honduras: A Violence, Repression and Impunity Capital of the world," saying:

"There is no end in sight to violence and repression in Honduras. There is also no end in sight to American and Canadian governments and business maintaining political, economic and military relations with the military-backed regime."

Besides being Latin America's murder capital, it's also the region's "journalist killing capital....an LGBT killing capital, a prisoner killing capital, a lawyer killing capital, etc."

Unrestrained violence continues. America's support and involvement facilitates it. Human rights abuses rage out of control. State terror is policy. Ordinary Hondurans haven't a chance.

Resistance is their only option. Another coup may follow electoral change if achieved. Odds against it are long. 

Zelaya's wife Xiomara heads a LIBRE political party. It represents the Nacional de Resistencia Popular (FNRP) popular resistance.

Its Declaration of Principles calls revolution "inevitable." An "unsustainable economic, political and social system" rules Honduras.
