Abby Martin interviews Max Blumenthal and Camilo Mejia about the history of CIA interference in Nicaragua and the role of US civil society groups to meddle in the country's democratic processes. They go into detail about the latest insurrection, allegedly over pension hikes, that resulted in 300 people being killed and a call for Ortega to hold early elections. They also discuss the opposition violence against Sandinistas, and why it is ignored by the corporate media. Thanks for listening!
