On the morning of April 30, 2026, the investigative platform Hondurasgate — operating from Switzerland in collaboration with Canal Red, the Spanish television outlet, and its written platform Diario Red — released the first in a series of 37 audio recordings extracted from WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram exchanges between some of the most powerful political figures in the Western Hemisphere.
By the time the final files were released on May 6, they appeared to expose a transnational conspiracy of staggering scope: a coordinated effort, allegedly financed by multiple governments, to influence the Honduran election, return a convicted drug trafficker to political power through the purchase of US presidential pardon, and transform the Central American country into a strategic US-Israeli asset. Then, through diverted Honduran public funds, extend the same operation across the region, targeting the progressive governments of Latin America. All of it planned and agreed, in explicit terms, in the voices of the conspirators themselves.
When I read the report, which does not surprise me, the current environment in El Salvador came to mind. I was not surprised to read that this group of criminals and fascist dictators focussed on Honduras plan to model the future regime on the CECOT model in El Salvador. I imagine that Guatamala is next and as is Columbia. And this group of gangsters lead by the US and isrehell will continue to destroy democracies throughout Latin America.
The Israeli contribution does not exist in isolation. It is one thread within a far larger web. Israel’s 2026 national budget allocates approximately $730 million for public diplomacy — known by the Hebrew term hasbara — nearly five times the $150 million allocated the previous year, itself already a twentyfold increase on pre-Gaza war spending.[1] That budget financed, among other things, a contract of at least $9 million with former Trump campaign strategist Brad Parscale to influence how AI portrays Israel[2], a multi-million campaign to influence evangelical church attendees[3], and the Esther Project, a paid influencer network compensating participants $7,000 per pro-Israel post.
