Juan Orlando Hernandez was the previous president of Honduras. He has been “convicted” in a New York fedderal court of drug trafficking, the jury relying on the testimony of traffickers who themselves were extradicted by Juan Orlando himself. Juan Orlando even extradited his own brother. That brother, however, has insisted in an interview that Juan Orlando is innocent.
Read on to find out the real reason that Juan Orlando Hernandez (aka “JOH”) has been arrested, extradited, and imprisoned by the United States government.
As soon as the new Xiomara Castro–wife of former disgraced president Manuel Zelaya– took office as president, the infamous prosecutors of the ‘”Southern District of New York” (SDNY) unsealed an indictment against JOH and sent an extradition request to Honduras. The new leftist, Chavista regime immediately complied and bowed to the Gringos and had him arrested and deported to the USA.
The Press isn’t talking about this that I know of, except Spanish-language Telemundo and Univsion. Not even the “alternate Press” is talking about it.
Immediately upon taking over, the Zelaya/Castro regime immediately restored an Army general to active duty that JOH had fired. That general was sent to head up the dozens of soldiers to Juan Orlando’s home to arrest him. In the next couple of days, they sent him to New York to stand trial there for drug trafficking.
In the very first hearing, the judge in the case rebuked the prosecutors for having zero evidence for their accusation, except for the “testimony’ of some of the drug dealers that JOH had extradited himself.
THat’s right. The prosecutors of SDNY used drug traffickers that JOH had arrested and extradited to accuse JOH.
The federal prosecutors office of SDNY have now shown themselves much more corrupt than any Latin American regime.
THE REAL REASON THEY ARE PERSECUTING JUAN ORLANDO:
Here it is. JOH got word that an aircraft loaded with drugs was taking flight from Honduras with a destination in the United States, and JOH set in motion a plan to shoot it down. But the DEA itself told JOH to stand down and leave it alone, because it had two agents aboard that flight.
JOH had already told the DEA he was going to shoot down any such flight. And he kept his promise even with those two DEA agents aboard.
THAT is the reason the US government set in motion to put JOH in prison. Not for anything he did, but for defying the orders of the imperial command of the US government.
I will revisit this issue until it is heard.
