The American State department said the american "passed away", which looks like they are going to ignore the issue. The state department has become very leftist from the previous eight years.
Bianca Jagger is the only one I have seen interviewed that spoke some truth matching your reporting.
There is some mention of 'social unrest' from the mainstream media, but it is hiding the bigger movements that the tyrants are performing against the people.
It is very difficult to predict what the american military will do, as this has all the markings of a socialist destabilizing trap, meant to draw in the military for a extended conflict.
Either way, if the american military gets involved, or the socialists continue with the purge, and setting the bigger trap, it is a very bad situation for the people.
If my government were turned against me in this way, i think i would shut off their water and electricity.
The snipers are going to be a problem, and even if the current ones are eliminated, the government will likely bring in foreign ones.
My kindest regards, and thanks for the updates.
Thank you, @joesal, for your take on things. I will continue to post what I see and hear. I am an anarchist from way back before it was cool. When I read the ambassador's tweet, I thought that it was a bit stilted. Not the response I was expecting. There have been all kinds of rumours flying around about who the person that got killed was. The one recurring theme is that they were set up. The question begs to be asked, why? For what purpose. The snipers are not Nicas. They are from Venezuela. Spain is also funding the government. The country is very divided. Half the military support Ortega and the other half not. So he is paying government workers with no experience to rabble rouse.
There are many things that don't add up, but do they ever in a war? It is difficult to get any news that is not first sifted by government censors.
I am sorry, but this is not social unrest. This is civil war. Brother against brother. Nica against Nica. And we are concerned that the government will shut off power, water and communications to the people.
Time will tell what will happen. In the meantime, my family and I are keeping our heads down and trying to stay out of the line of fire.
Spain does make sense in the destabilize model.
It may be important to spot Chechen-like foreign fighters imported for Ortega, (they may have arrived from Venezuela) that is a sign of a bigger agenda.
I have a hunch there could be some new equipment 'suddenly appear' in Panama that would be for Ortega also.
We have already seen equipment arrive through Honduras. Mainly trucks and anti-riot guns. Small planes fly in during the night from the north as well. People say large boxes are being offloaded. I would assume that is more arms. Latest rumours are saying that US-Nicas are petitioning the UN for a peacekeeping force and that Nicaragua is on the short list.
I wouldn't trust the UN or any 'human rights' organization, I would for sure keep my family away from those.
There is no certainty what the boxes are. If i had to guess it would be large mortars, RPGs, and recoiless rifles.
The stuff from Panama would probably be artillery, anti-aircraft equipment, maybe hilux-like trucks.
If they do start a purge, mortar fire is bad news.
We have had mortars being fired from the very beginning. They re being use like someone would fire off fireworks on the 4th of July...
