FNRP reaches 944,330 signatures on the Declaration of Sovereignty
Red Morazánica de Información (my translation)

Tegucigalpa August 22, 2010. Today the National Popular Resistance Front reached 944,330 signatures, on the Declaration of Sovereignty demanding a Popular and Inclusive Constituent Assembly, in the last count carried out in the city of San Pedro Sula.

In my ongoing exploration of the meaning of the swastika in Honduras, a new piece of data from a resistance member on Facebook, targeting Pepe Lobo's National Party. Again here is an identification of the Resistance (or el pueblo) with Jews and other Nazi victims, and the regime with Nazis. Very little evidence, so far, of the swastika being used in a traditional anti-Semitic fashion, except in the absurd neo-Nazi tags of Honduran soccer gangs.

Police shooting teargas canisters into the National Pedagogical University "Francisco Morazán"

This article, sent to me by hermano Juancito, shows the U.S. military propaganda effort to be in full swing. Targeting the full resistance town of Guadalupe Carney for their PR efforts, it is doubtful that the military's "goodwill" convinced anyone, given the U.S.

This add to the dozens of stories of yesterday's police and military brutality, in response to striking teachers' demands for living wages and adequate conditions in which to teach the nation's poor (since the rich almost without exception go to private schools).

Police beat up Canal 36 journalist
Friday August 20, 2010

The journalist Richard Casulá from Canal 36 and his cameraman were attacked by the police while covering the removal of teachers in the country's capital.

This from a friend: It turns out it's not a mass grave they've discovered. A newspaper report came out that there were 100 unclaimed cadavers at the San Pedro Sula morgue, and by orders of the prosecutor's office, the medical legal department buried them in three separate common graves. Most were violent death. According to Bertha Oliva, this is normal, but what is not normal is the high number, 100, apparently from last 6 months. Oliva says that 10 or 15 would have been a high number, but 100 is very high. The bodies were presumably from the San Pedro Sula area and the North Coast.

The driver of a public bus in which a friend was a passenger fainted from the tear gas, while passing by the attacks. These are images of the repression from Facebook and Globo TV:

This story is confirmed: striking teachers are being violently ousted by military with teargas (L.1500 per canister) from the UPNFM (National Pedagogical University "Francisco Morazán") as I write this. This picture was posted to Facebook by a witness, who wrote:
