Blogger Has "Humble" Origins: Family Owns 5-Continent Salt Group

"Humble" manager of Moulitsas' "family hotel," distibutes
SEVEN MILLION TONS of table salt annually on five continents.

This investigative report is part of a series undertaken by the Truth About Kos (DailyKos) Blog, in order that people who do not read Spanish can read what Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga has said to Spanish-language newspapers and compare those lies with the truth available in El Salvadoran government websites and in the Moulitsas Zúñiga's Spanish-language corporate websites.

It is truly shocking how a blogger can tell one version of his life story in English while foreign language official documents give the lie to everything that has previously been reported in the mainstream media. The report below was first published at The Truth About Kos Blog by Atty. Francis L. Holland.

Salt in Central America Registers with Salvadoran Government

When you take what Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ) has told newspaper reporters and compare that with Salvadoran Government documents, you can only conclude that MAMZ is an inveterate liar who believes that no one in the United States will ever learn or care to discover that little or nothing MAMZ says about himself and his family is true. Below, verbatim, we find Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ), owner of DailyKos, telling a Spanish-language Salvadoran newspaper, La Prensa Gráfica, a bold-faced lie about his family:

In the world before the Internet, someone like me never would have been able to reach this level of success.

"I don't have money." [Stated in the present tense of the verb "to be."]

"I do not come from a famous or powerful family." [Again, stated again in the present tense of the verb "to be."]

"Technology gave me the ability to start a publication with more than a million readers daily, without having to have much money. The costs of starting were around one hundred dollars."

The original Spanish language quote is available in the online archives of La Prensa Gráfica.

Compare that to information that the "manager" of MAMZ's family hotel filed with the Salvadoran government on the February 26, 2008 for Baja Salt Group (screenshot above), where Baja Salt Group is listed as a "commercial cartel".

The official online Salvadoran government registration of the Baja Salt Group, says:

LET IT BE KNOWN: That at this office Carlos Alberto Delgado Zuniga, his status as the Lega Representative of the Baja Salt Corporation [listed in Salvadoran Government documents as the "manager" of the Moulitsas Zúñiga family hotel] . . .

HACE SABER: Que a esta oficina se ha presentado CARLOS ALBERTO DELGADO ZUNIGA, en su calidad de Representante legal de la sociedad BAJA SALT,

If you just follow the name in the Savadoran Government's webite to the corporate webite of Baja Salt Group, you'll discover that Lic. Carlos Alberto Delgado Zuniga, the "manager" of Markos Moulitsas' "family hotel", is also listed as Central American distributorship for table and industrial salt sold throughout Central America, with "annual exports seven million tons of salt "Japón, Corea, Taiwán, New Zeland, Central and South America, and the east and west coasts of the United States."

Everytime I consider these facts, I cannot help but laugh ruefully at the outrageous magnitude of the bold-faced lies that MAMZ has told the public and the press, who have not bothered to fact check anything that MAMZ has said.

Clearly MAMZ would like his DailyKos blog readers, the American press and political word to believe his "up from poverty" story of a poor immigrant who makes it big in the United States in spite of a humble and poor family background, like Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Nothing could be further from the truth. The manager of his family hotel, who shares MAMZ's second middle name, last name and perhaps his first middle name as well (no one knows MAMZ's first middle name) is distibuting SEVEN MILLION TONS of table salt on five continents.

Meanwhile, MAMZ himself would have us believe that he started DailyKos with one hundred dollars of his own money while he was training for two years with the Central Intelligence agency, as he confessed on an audiotape at the Commonwealth Club, San Francisco, on June 2, 2006.
