Nicaragua has officially left the US-controlled, coup-plotting Organization of American States (OAS), known in Latin America as the Ministry of Yankee Colonies.
Foreign Minister Denis Moncada called the OAS an "instrument of meddling" whose "mission is to facilitate US hegemony"
The US founded the OAS at the start of the first cold war as an alliance of right-wing regimes, including Somoza's dictatorship
The OAS orchestrated the fascist coup d'etat in Bolivia in 2019 and recognizes US puppet Guaidó as Venezuela's fake "president" thegrayzone.com/2020/03/23/oas…
This is part of the letter the foreign ministry sent to the OAS: "Nicaragua has repeatedly expressed its condemnation and rejection of the interventionist actions of the OAS, defending its sovereignty"
We are not "a colony of any power," and the OAS is a US "colonialist entity"
Nicaragua announced that it is leaving the colonialist, US-controlled OAS in front of a huge portrait of Sandino, who fought and expelled the US military occupiers.
This is another Nicaraguan Sandinista supporter, Daniela Cienfuegos @dani100sweet, an activist in the Red de Jóvenes Comunicadores, which Facebook/Instagram suspended and falsely claimed is a gov't bot farm.
And here is Nicaraguan Sandinista activist Franklin Ruiz G. @ElChequelito, whose personal account was censored by Facebook, which falsely claimed he is a government-run bot/troll.
The political censorship is so blatant: Tonight, one week before elections in Nicaragua, Facebook/Instagram suspended the accounts of many prominent leftist Sandinista journalists, activists, and media outlets
I know numerous people whose accounts were suspended at the same time
It's obvious there's a coordinated social media purge of leftist Sandinistas going on, mere days before Nicaragua's November 7 election
First Twitter suspended many popular Sandinistas. Now Facebook/Instagram suspended more, including media outlets' pages
This is the SECOND time the US government thought police at Twitter suspended @FloryCantoR's account
The US government thought police at Twitter hired a right-wing Mexican political operative to censor leftists in Latin America thegrayzone.com/2021/01/24/mex…
This coup-supporting right-wing US propagandist -- who spreads constant fake news demonizing Nicaragua, its people, and their elected Sandinista govt -- is now spouting anti-vax disinfo against the *more effective* Russian and Cuban vaccines
Over a million Nicaraguans have gotten vaccinated, with no problems. But a few hundred (mostly wealthy right-wing opposition supporters) traveled to Honduras to get US vaccines because they listen to coup-supporting propagandists like this & worship the US
My brother works in the film industry and is active in the union @IATSE, so I asked him about Alec Baldwin being given a loaded gun and accidentally killing director of photography (DP) Halyna Hutchins.
He explained that it's a result of union busting, scabs, and negligence
Hours before Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed a cinematographer, camera crew workers walked off the set to protest bad working conditions
They faced grueling hours, long commutes and lack of safety protocols
Alec Baldwin accidentally shooting and killing his cinematographer was the tragic result of producers abusing their workers and not respecting safety protocols
Unionized workers walked off the set to protest dangerous conditions. So producers hired non-union, unexperienced scabs
Peru's new President Pedro Castillo has been gradually moving to the right. Spain's state-backed media outlet EFE praised Castillo for "distancing himself from the [socialist] Perú Libre party and reinforcing the moderate wing of the government" efe.com/efe/america/po…
Peru's President Castillo fired socialist Prime Minister Guido Bellido, and remade his cabinet with numerous centrists
This has led former supporters in the leftist Perú Libre party to accuse Castillo of "betrayal"
