Why is our media not reporting this?

Because they are Sandinista supporters........................

Why is our media not reporting this?

Because it isn't newsworthy. I see no mention in the story of Russians or porn stars.

On a serious note I spent some time in Nicaragua a few years ago. I speak Spanish and the cynicism and disillusionment with the government was widespread. I remember speaking with one former Sandinista fighter who had been on a Somoza death list and he told me that Nicaragua hadn’t had an actual revolution since the 19th century. He was quite bitter.

"This is now a massacre, a human tragedy where the goal is to exterminate all those young people who think differently than or are critical of the government,"

And yet the Nicaraguans chose him for President after having experience in the '80s with him and his ilk. Be careful of what you wish for.

Ortega is being a fascist?

Whhoda guessed?

National Socialism / International Socialism fails again?

Yes it does. The only difference between National Socialism
and International Socialism is the prefix, Inter.
Both systems are Socialistic.

“”And yet the Nicaraguans chose him for President after having experience in the ‘80s with him and his ilk. Be careful of what you wish for.””

Same thought came to my mind and then I have to wonder how many had a choice in a corrupt government. Don’t know if Carter was down there to assure an honest election, do we?
Chances are the answer to “honest” is - are you kidding?

Braless women ambassador types looking deeply at commies are an interesting American phenomenon.

“This is now a massacre, a human tragedy where the goal is to exterminate all those young people who think differently than or are critical of the government,”

Friend of the Obama’s and Flag stander Bill Ayers advocated killing 20 million Americans. (With population growth, he no doubt currently advocates murdering 30 million of us.)

Not one word about this on abccbsnbccnnmsnbcfox

BTW, one thing several people in Nicaragua told me is that Daniel Ortega isn’t really the villain there, it’s his wife, who is much more of a hard-line Marxist than her husband and who is very much the power behind the scenes.

Wall Street Journal has a lengthy article on this.

Cry for Guatemala Nicaragua
With a corpse in every gate
If I had a rocket launcher

If I had a rocket launcher
I would not hesitate

We elected Obama twice, the second time he wasn't a pig in a poke.

If "they" had their way "we" would have elected the pig Hillary!™ despite her well known trail of corruption and dead bodies.

How long after that would Guatemalans be reading stories like this one about us?

There'd be...

Yes, their life is terrible. But the US has been told by them and their liberal supporters that their national affairs are none of our business. I like it that way! Maybe they should invite some UN peacekeepers to help out.
