ORTEGA CALLS FOR PERMANENT MOBILIZATION IN NICARAGUA
Tico Times of Costa Rica ^ | March 12, 2009 | By Tim Rogers

Posted on 03/12/2009 1:59:40 PM PDT by mick

Sounding more like a rebel leader than the president of a democratic republic, Daniel Ortega last week called for a permanent Sandinista insurrection to “struggle constantly” against what he calls “the enemy.”

Ortega's inflammatory words came hours after Sandinista mobs clashed violently with anti-government protesters who marched on nine cities Feb. 28 to protest last year's alleged election fraud and what many consider the return to dictatorship here under the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN).

Sandinista mobs shot mortars and threw rocks at opposition protesters, who responded in kind. Liberal Party lawmaker Luis Callejas – one of several people injured in the clashes – was hospitalized with a serious head wound after getting hit with a rock allegedly thrown by a Sandinista supporter.

Gee, I wonder if this could possibly be related to the recent election of our POTUS?

Seems the bad guys are feeling strong again. President Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

I fear this is only the beginning of the bitter cup we will now be forced to sip as our Dear Leader not only sells us out worldwide, but freedom loving people everywhere. Tragic.

I wonder if Juan Valdez needs an assistant.

Standard Trotskyite claptrap. Permanent revolution.

Nicaragua has always been at war with Eurasia.

Yep, this is the standard tactic for the commie tyrants, the perpetual bogeyman.
After all what will distract the people from the looming poverty and hunger that in inevitable in a communist state.

They never learn. Lenin instituted “war communism” the day he took power and nearly ruined the country with it. Permanent revolution is permanent destruction.

There will probably be two tactics:

1. Ridicule and marginalize them. The mainstream media, as well as tools like George Will, Hugh Hewitt etc. will gladly help with this.

2. Obama's "civilian defense force" was known by other names in the commie countries of the old Soviet Union. In Cuba today they are known as "Committees for the Defense of the Revolution". However they are know they spy on individuals and groups for the government.

“Permanent revolution” - Like China under Mao, with the “Great Leap Backwards” and the “Cultural Devolution”, except 24/7?

Ortega, a narcotics peddling Marxist swine, just the type the Obama administration will make all kinds of deals with.

This is how Obama will do it. From the story:

The Paradox of Power

Though the Sandinistas control all four branches of government, the FSLN still considers itself the true opposition movement in Nicaragua, according to presidential advisor Orlando Núñez.

“The government is not just a group of officials, because the government is in opposition to the system,” Núñez said. “It's a paradox, we are the government but we are in opposition.”

I can see Obama requiring the IRS here to do the same:

Perhaps nowhere is that paradox more evident than in the offices of Nicaragua's Tax Collection Agency (DGI). State tax collectors have all been given yellow Sandinista shirts that they're required to wear when ordered to protest on behalf of the government at sweltering Managua intersections.

Thanks for sharing that on the ground experience.

It's always the loudest Share-the-Wealth fanatics who manage to live high on the hog themselves.....Michele Obama comes to mind.
