Nicaraguan police have charged the director of the local Miss Universe franchise with conspiracy, treason, money laundering and spreading fake news as part of a plot to overthrow the government, weeks after the Central American nation’s first victory in the pageant.

Karen Celebertti and two others have been accused of participating in “terrorist actions of a failed coup attempt” in 2018, when Nicaraguans protested against President Daniel Ortega’s attempted reforms to the country’s social security system.

This is the government model that the Hussein O’Biden administration aspires to copy.

Ortega is basically going to steal all of the social security and opposing it makes one a terrorist.

Police did pat down searches of the contestants just in case.

Donald Trump owned the Miss Universe pagent for a while, so he is just as guilty of conspiracy, treason, money laundering and spreading fake news as part of a plot to overthrow the government.

Hey, it makes as much sense as the other accusations against him by our kangaroo courts.

Intriguing claim, yet when you strip it down to its bare components the story becomes even more interesting.

This story could be interesting if it was Nicaragua’s Miss Universe plotting to overthrow the government. Sadly it is not. So...
Yawn.

Probably said something nice about Trump.

Did the FBI volunteer to create the coup evidence?

Maybe some of the young female contestants refused to have sex with their Marxist overlords?

I’m sure that in this case the authorities will closely review the whole body of evidence.

Actually she is involved in this. She apparently participated n some protest in 2018. Now married and won the Miss Universe a couple of weeks ago. She is in NYC, but her husband and son were arrested. The son cannot be more than 3 years old.

Recall how Ortega seized the villas of capitalists as the contras were about to depose him. Recall how Kennedy and Dodd fought Reagan to defend the communist regime. Ortega has been a very successful communist by avoiding being strung up by his heels all these years.
