When @PiruloAr was hauled before a Nicaraguan Prosecutor yesterday they made a point of saying that they did not like the reporting of his π outlet, Divergentes. They said Wilfredo was lying. They really, really don't like this π reporting.

Important to note that the attacks on these reporters in english coming from the Ortega supporting Western left underpin +aid the repression in very practical ways. They are worse than Durante in that they bulk up/distribute the fake 'evidence' used to condemn Ortega's opponents.
This is the 'reporting' which underpins Nicaragua's global propaganda support for its repression of journalists and political opponents.

Here is the same relationship playing out in Ecuador. The generation of propaganda in the West which is then utilised by Latin America's authoritarian left. Same has happened in Cuba, Bolivia & Venezuela.

The example of this which most deserves to be famous is the invention of a 'lithium coup' in Bolivia by Vijay Prasad which then got taken up by Morales himself & repeated ad nauseum *in Bolivian politics* and by bad actors like Glenn Greenwald.
Every word here is a lie, including "Washington is freaking out." 
Ben Norton is in Managua, repurposing Orteguista bollox as the guest gringo expert for Nicaraguan students who are unable to contest his words, or contest anything, lest they be labelled traitors and arrested and tortured.

Many students from this very university were murdered by the regime. Norton may as well be giving his 'lecture' stood on their corpses.
"Benjamin Norton received the honorary title of distinguished visitor."
