DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nSay it ain't so Nicaragua
\n\n   
 To read some of the “analysis” of the left one would think that the 
 recent uprisings in Nicaragua are all a part of a well-orchestrated 
 campaign from the same old enemies that the Frente Sandinista had during 
 the 1980’s and the ones that the Left has in the region since way before 
 that.  Those right-wing actors sure are still busy and it is easy to look 
 at their fingerprints on other Latin American internal affairs, especially 
 in Venezuela. 
   Are events in Nicaragua another CIA plot? 
   NO, but 
 the CIA is trying to shape events and always has.
   Understanding 
 Nicaragua today is sort of like being involved in a family break up that 
 involves a lot of denial.  Just as one’s ex will downplay that part where 
 a fist was slammed on the table and a door was slammed during a stomp off, 
 many on the left are looking for all kinds of reasons not to believe that 
 the government of Daniel Ortega is the source of its own problems.  Don 
 Macleay, who fought with the Sandinistas in the Contra War of the 80’s, 
 will be our featured speaker. NOTE: This will be run as a Town Forum, with 
 over half of the time reserved for a respectful discussion including as 
 many voices as possible. ICSS member Gene Ruyle will moderate.\nDon
