Who’s organizing and funding the caravan?
An article at Sarah Hoyt’s site by Bill Reader has some answers. Read the whole thing; the basic answer is “the Central American Left,” but here are some details that might especially interest you:
…Barolo Fuentes, a Honduran socialist who was one of the frontmen for this caravan, and his friends in the LIBRE party; Pueblo sin Fronteras, a project of the Chicago-Based 501c La Familia Latina Unida; and a brief look at Venezuela, recently highlighted by Vice President Pence and currently in the spotlight as a possible funding source for all this…
…So, this wasn’t just nondescript social activism, but someone who has deliberately and repeatedly assisted specifically with illegal immigration…
La Tribuna picks up the story above in more detail, and describes [Fuentes] as having organized caravans since 1999. They note also that he is an “ex-deputy” in the National Congress of Honduras, for a group called Libertad y Refundación (Freedom and Refoundation) AKA LIBRE for short. The Honduran government is unicameral, but he was essentially the local equivalent of a senator/representative. Who is LIBRE? Why, they’re a Leftist Political Party in Honduras. They were founded in 2011 by the National Popular Resistance Front/ National People’s Resistance Front (FNRP). LIBRE was christened by Manuel Zelaya, the Honduran president who was deposed in a coup in 2009…
Zelaya, 2009, Honduras. Does that ring a bell? It should, if you’ve been reading this blog since then, because I wrote about Zelaya a lot. The context was that Obama supported him. If you want to refresh your memory just do a search on this blog for “Zelaya,” but the article with the most information is probably this one. There are plenty of others.
Then, from the Reader article, we also have this:
All of this suggests that the original organization of the caravan was indeed put together in Honduras—specifically, by people from LIBRE. The question is, did it stay that way?
To begin to answer that question, we turn our attention to Pueblo Sin Fronteras. To understand that group, first we need to get to know another group— La Familia Latina Unida, an extension of the pro-illegal immigration advocacy 501c out of Chicago, Centro Sin Fronteras. La Familia Latina Unida, in turn, is the organization that runs Pueblo Sin Fronteras. So, to be clear, Centro Sin Fronteras begat La Familia Latina Unida, which begat Pueblo Sin Fronteras. Pueblos Sin Fronteras may not be familiar to you, but their handiwork is—they organized the last caravan which came to the US in April, though that caravan mostly dissolved before it actually reached the border. According to Influence Watch, Centro Sin Fronteras was founded by Emma Lozano, a Chicago pastor and sister of left-wing community organizer Rudy Lozano, in 1987…
Centro Sin Fronteras is currently running on the back of grants from the Public Welfare Foundation, and the Wieboldt Foundation—certainly Left-Wing funding organizations, though surprisingly, not directly tied to George Soros. That said, Centro Sin Fronteras, you will perhaps be interested to hear, has been a beneficiary of the National Immigration Forum, which in turn receives donations from the Open Society Foundation, which of course is George Soros’ baby. The last donation was modest and back in 2010, though. I mention it to highlight what Trump has highlighted, and what a lot of those on the Right who have paid attention have known forever— in liberal charitable donation wankery, all roads eventually lead to Soros. The group apparently hasn’t been amazingly good about regularity in tax filings recently, so it’s hard to say how they’re doing of late.
I have solution for caravan for every woman and child we let in from honduras el salvador and guatamala we send one iran-contra traitor who helped put drug dealing juntas in power down there. start by sending ollie north to nicuragua.
who helped put drug dealing juntas in power down there. start by sending ollie north to nicuragua.
There are no drug dealing juntas in Central America and there were none in 1987, unless you count associates of Manuel Noriega, who spent the last 27 years of his life in an American prison.
Just how bad is journalism in this country that we have to resort to a science fiction author’s blog to find out important news. This is not meant as a slam against Mrs. Hoyt or the information she is providing. She’s a very smart lady whom I respect, and who knows what’s she’s talking about. But again, she’s a science fiction author, not a reporter.
The press in this country is dead. It has totally enslaved itself into performing as a propaganda department for the extremely corrupt Democrat party. Trump is right, the press is the enemy of the people.

IIRC, we had to resort to a lawyers’ blog, among others, to find out that the Rather Memo was a fraud.

Journalists used to be just people who had a nose for anomalies and could see what needed to be ferreted out and published; now “Journalists” are partisans-with-bylines, and aren’t interested in revealing facts unless they can damage their opponents — and if they can’t find something damaging, they will make it up — see Neo’s post today on Fact-Checkers-Not-Really.
‘Twas ever thus, so I understand. Many people who are mostly on the anti-Left and outright Right side of things say calumny, slander, lies, and cover-ups have been part of American news-publishing since the beginning.
But it is both disillusioning and disheartening to find that it used to be so and today’s not all that different. One had thought better of one’s fellow man, or at least of those whom we trusted, and trust, to tell the news as honestly as possible.
PS Bill has a total of 5 articles posted at Sarah’s blog (laid out in a row) and all of them are worth reading.
So it wasn’t George Soros. It was someone else named George Soros.
