NIcaragua: No to the bloody presidential election of the Comandantíssimo Ortega!

Nicaragua: No to the bloody presidential election of the Comandantissimo Ortega!

By Humberto Gómez Sequeira-HuGóS 15 October 2021 The Supreme Electoral Council (SEC) summoned, on May 7, 2021, the general elections in which the electorate will elect the President of the Republic, the National Assembly (NA) and the members of the Central American Parliament (CAP). The SEC is one of the powers that the Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional (FSLN), Sandinista National Liberation Front (SNLF), has used to impose the dictatorship it began to insert into the State since it took power on July 19, 1979.

Prior to that announcement, on April 18, 2018, the FSLN inaugurated its campaign to re-elect the despot José Daniel Ortega Saavedra as the Head of State with a bloody repression of people who then began to exercise their human right to oppose its totalitarian, kleptocratic and brutal policies. The crimes that the SNLF committed at that time were reported by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), in part, as follows.

"To date, the violent response of the State to the social protests initiated on April 18, 2018, executed under different modalities or stages of repression, has resulted in the death of 328 people, among them, 21 policemen and 24 children and adolescents; nearly 2 thousand injured; hundreds of arbitrary dismissals of health professionals; more than 777 people were deprived of their liberty. These violations remain in absolute impunity". Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) - Organization of American States (OAS) - Press Release - April 18, 2020

The elections in question will be another political spectacle that the FSLN will present as its "evidence" that the government it exercises—with the misleading seal of Gobierno de Reconciliación y Unidad Nacional or Government of Reconciliation and National Unity—since January 10, 2007, is not a totalitarian dictatorship, but a "popular democracy". The protagonist will be "the Sandinista people", whose predecessor was "the Somocista people", dispossessed of their political agency and excited by their prefabricated desire to reelect a liar as their messiah. This soldier, sick with aggressive ambition, continues to be the FSLN's primitive candidate for President of the Republic. The corruptor of the revolution still seems to have the power to complement the inadequacy of his followers by giving their existence security with his violence, sense with his ignorance and value with his mediocrity.

If the Comandantíssimo Ortega does not officially impose a state of siege, the vote will be held under the conditions that the FSLN imposed in previous elections in which it participated as the ruling party—Sandinista electoral law, judges, police, mobs and violence—driven by its ambition to perpetuate itself as the power of the State. The imposition of those restrictions in the November 5, 2017 municipal elections produced seven people dead and the occupation of the government of most municipalities by the FSLN. Those elections, tinged with human blood, were observed by Haydée Castillo in her capacity as a representative of Panorama Electoral. The following is an excerpt from the interview between France 24 and Haydée Castillo, conducted on November 7, 2017.

"The Sandinista Front party concentrated the power of all the voting boards and electoral structures, played 'crazy mouse', which in Nicaragua means moving voters from one city to another so that people cannot exercise their vote, hid cédulas (identification cards), used state vehicles and means, public officials were pressured saying that in exchange for their work they should vote for the Sandinista Front."

The "peace" of the elections, tied to the trigger of the FSLN’s assault rifle, is already "guaranteed" by the people it has killed, imprisoned, tortured, raped, defamed and pushed into exile during its dirty electoral war against the opposition. The all-out offensive that the FSLN launched against the people that rebelled against its dictatorship, on April 18, 2018, is the continuation of the FSLN's historical policy of defending its right to rule as the victorious army that enclaved itself in the State, on July 19, 1979, and enriched itself with the booty of war and the appropriation of the public assets that the Somoza Dynasty and its henchmen had stolen.

As the government, judge and electoral police, the FSLN approved, on December 21, 2020, the totalitarian Law for the defense of the rights of the people to independence, sovereignty and self-determination for peace, Law No. 1055, which it uses as the red-black powder of the assault rifle with which it has imprisoned the opposition candidates so that they cannot "opt for positions of popular election". The Sandinista law states that those who "injure the supreme interests of the nation" will be "Traitors to the Homeland". To "injure" really means to oppose the FSLN’s dictatorship that has replaced the interests of the nation with its ambition as a stupid, brutal and vain kleptocracy. With the aforementioned law, the FSLN has robbed the nation of its right to rebel against its authoritarianism as the exercise of its sovereignty over the State and the political party that administers it.

The Sandinista judges are applying the "Law for Peace" as a war tribunal that is part of the dirty army that is carrying out the national purge, à la Stalin, as the sine qua non condition for the reelection of the despot Ortega Saavedra as the President of the Republic. The humanity of the persons it punishes, without having committed a crime, and the morality that should be the imperative of its judgments are not elements of the conscience of that court.

Law No. 1055 is similar to Law No. 1074, Law on the Maintenance of Order and Public Security, which the FSLN’s Government, called Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional or Government Junta of National Reconstruction (GJNR), under the leadership of Daniel Ortega Saavedra and Sergio Ramírez Mercado, acting as President and Vice President, respectively, approved on July 6, 1982. The similarity between said laws is that both were adopted by the FSLN as "clean" instruments of its dirty war against the opposition which in 1979 acted and currently acts according to the Statute on Rights and Guarantees of Nicaraguans, Law No. 52, which the GJNR approved on August 21, 1979.

The tribunals that today the FSLN uses as the showcases of its prisons—where it exhibits the laws with which it validates its dictatorship—are the successor agencies of the conscience of the 1979 Popular Anti-Somocista Tribunals, which were the extrajudicial powers that judged and condemned the people that the FSLN then accused of being "enemies of the revolution". This accusation was part of the FSLN's dirty war propaganda to implant itself in the State as the total power of the revolution that it used to become the ruling class that today parasitizes and corrupts the State.

The class that was engendered by the capitalist ambition of the FSLN commanders stimulated its development by putting its stamp of victorious army on the conscience of the State, represented by

the Law on the transfer of ownership of housing and other real estate belonging to the State and its institutions, Law No. 85, of March 29, 1990. The FSLN captured the State property as part of its booty of war with its victorious army right, which it turned into law, armed with the Legislative Power of the State it controlled from 1979 to 1990. Law No. 85 was ratified by the governments that succeeded the FSLN’s regime in the power of the State from 1990 to 2006. With the apparent acquiescence of its political enemies, the FSLN adjusted the ethics of the State to its corruption and turned it into the social virtue with which it built the sweeping power of its current dictatorship.

The tribunals of the FSLN’s dictatorship in 1979 were composed of the FSLN Political Commission (PC), which functioned as the "Sandinista Cheka," the State Security Office (SSO), the Sandinista Popular Army (SPA) and the Sandinista Defense Committees (SDC). The PC and the SSO exercised the powers of accuser and interrogator, respectively, of the persons “not aligned" with the ideological and political infallibility of the FSLN. The political propaganda and shock force that the PC used to spy on, defame and intimidate people who were accused of the crime of political heresy were the SDC. These groups became excited and aggressive mobs in the streets when incited by the PC. Their role in the FSLN's dirty war against the opposition was to hold demonstrations, day and night, in front of the homes of the accused, shouting death threats against them and praising the FSLN. The FSLN assumed the Judicial Power of the State, through the GJNR in 1979, as part of its military victory and used it to consolidate its own power. Accordingly, the PC identified the persons it accused of political heresy and submitted their data to the SSO, which responded by ordering the SPA to arrest them. The SSO's favorite method of arrest was the invasion of their homes by SPA soldiers in the middle of the night to brand their families' foreheads with the terror of the red and black cross of the new doctrine of domination called Sandinismo. After they were arrested, at gunpoint—without an arrest warrant signed by a judge—the victims of the lauded Popular Sandinista Revolution were imprisoned, without charge or public trial, indefinitely.

In Granada, the FSLN imprisoned its political prisoners in the fortress and jail called La Pólvora (The Gunpowder) that the Somoza Dynasty had used to torture its opponents. There, the SPA soldiers, who acted as jailers, treated them as prisoners of war, without respect for their humanity and rights according to any declaration on human rights, including that of the GJNR contained in Law No. 52.

The political prisoners were extracted from their cells at midnight by SPA soldiers to be taken to the SSO in Granada. In that dark and terrible interrogation center, the political prisoners were interrogated by the Criminal Judge of Granada, Agustín Cruz Pérez—who was charged by the FSLN to apply the "justice of the revolution"—with an interrogatory written by the SSO to examine their conscience and prescribe their punishment.

In 1979, "Year of the Liberation" in the Sandinista calendar of myths and lies, the FSLN waged a dirty war of revenge against its enemies and total elimination of the opposition, backed by the silence of the GJNR. In that Junta, Violeta Barrios Torres, widow of Chamorro, and Luis Alfonso Robelo Callejas participated as representatives of the democratic bourgeoisie and their political parties: Democratic Liberation Union (UDEL) and Nicaraguan Democratic Movement (MDN), respectively.

Also, Sergio Ramírez Mercado and Ernesto Cardenal Martínez participated in the same Government as representatives of the intelligentsia that adorned the brutality of the FSLN. During its crusade to align the opposition with the assault rifle of its doctrine of domination, Sandinismo, the FSLN made false accusations with which it persecuted, arrested, imprisoned and

violated the human rights of persons accused of political heresy and their families. Also, SPA soldiers executed prisoners, extrajudicially, without opposition or denunciation by the "democratic" members of the GJNR. Instead of confronting the FLN—armed with the Statute on Rights and Guarantees of Nicaraguans that they had approved—the UDEL and MDN representatives preferred to resign their political posts—which the Sandinista commanders gave them as bona fide evidence of their class consciousness—to support the counterrevolutionaries' that were waging war against the FSLN, in 1980, to seize the power of the State.

The violations that the FSLN and JGRN committed and for which it is responsible were investigated, defined and published by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) in its Resolution 12/83 cited here, in part, as follows.

"On July 1, 1983, the IACHR adopted Resolution 12/83 which in its operative part declared that the Government of Nicaragua violated Articles 4 (Right to Life), 7 (Right to Personal Liberty) and 8 (Judicial Guarantees), of the American Convention on Human Rights by being responsible for the illegal executions of persons detained in the prison known as "La Pólvora" in the city of Granada." Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) - Organization of American States (OAS) - Resolution Number 20/83 Case "La Pólvora" Nicaragua - October 4, 1983

The dirty war the FSLN waged against the opposition in 1979 was the model for the dirty war it has been waging, at least since April 2018, against the opposition as the bloody prologue to the day when the FSLN wants to turn its Comandantíssimo Ortega into the body and blood of the State, and the host of the nation. That political spectacle will be the smokescreen over the jails where the FSLN continues to confine the people it accuses of the crime that the despot and judge Ortega Saavedra invented, "Traitor to the homeland", and the Sandinista Assembly approved.

According to reports by Human Rights Watch and Presas and Presos Políticos Nicaragua (Women and Men Political Prisoners Nicaragua) the FSLN was holding approximately 145 political prisoners in its jails as of September 2021. The following is an excerpt from the Human Rights Watch report.

"In addition to the 36 detentions carried out since the end of May 2021, Nicaraguan human rights organizations indicate that another 104 people perceived to be critical were previously detained and, as of August, remained in detention. Many have been detained for more than a year and face abusive conditions of detention similar to those documented in this publication."

In addition to having granted itself the repressive and selective power of Law No. 1055, the FSLN has merged the State power with the totalitarian ambition of its leader, elevating him above national sovereignty with the fictitious title of "El Pueblo Presidente" (The People President). In this way, his followers pretend to hide the fact that the despot wants to be the power of the State because he is affected with the Hubris Syndrome, addiction to power, and not because "the people" have commanded him to do so. That disease and its extreme manifestations, corruption and violence, drove the despot Anastasio Somoza Debayle and now drive the despot José Daniel Ortega Saavedra to wage a total war against the nation using the State as the weapon with which he defends the interests of the red-black kleptocracy he created with Law No. 85.

Melvin Amador, who are the President and Vice-President, respectively, of the new Supreme Electoral Council (SEC) or, better said, Sandinista Electoral Council (SEC). These judges were appointed by the majority of Sandinista deputies and their political cronies in the National Assembly and sworn in after having recited the prayer Thanks to Commander Daniel and his good government, on May 6, 2021. Rocha Chacón and Amador are the representatives of the new generation of the intelligentsia, the Birretes Rojinegros (Red-black Mortarboards), who graduated as Guardians of the Power of the FSLN after they surrendered their conscience to the party in exchange for allowing them to enjoy the pleasure of being members of the Cofradía del Comandantíssimo Ortega (Brotherhood of the Supreme Commander Ortega). The aforementioned jurists are united to the Sandinista kleptocracy by means of their motto: Lies can be the truth and corruption can be integrity. This is the ethical mechanism with which that class of jurists and politicians, which parasitizes and corrupts the State, fights to retain the power of the State like the assault rifle with which the Sandinista police defends its belief that it deserves the privileges it enjoys.

The SEC continues to be an organ dependent on the FSLN as the force that dominates the State and creates the legislation with which it supports the value of its parliamentarians who sell quotas of power in the Government’s dark room, where capital determines the utility of its politics. Its historical role has been that of the judge that applies the corruption of the State in the form of electoral law, at least since the Somoza Dynasty eliminated it as the conscience of the electoral system and guarantor of the honesty of its functioning and product.

The Electoral Power does not exist as a moral agent of a sovereign electorate. Before the FSLN entrusted the application of its Electoral Law to Rocha Chacón, the President of the SEC was Roberto José Rivas Reyes. This judge was reelected by the government of José Arnoldo "El Gordo" Alemán Lacayo, president of the Constitutionalist Liberal Party (CLP), in 2000. The reelection of Rivas Reyes was one of the effects of the 1999 Alemán-Ortega Pact. According to the terms of that "Fat Pact", the governing PLC and the opposing FSLN divided the Legislative Power between them and reformed the Electoral Law to adjust it to their moral and political insufficiency to win a presidential election or to win it with the majority of the votes. Therefore, they lowered the percentage of votes needed to win the presidency from 45% to 35%. This reform was one of the factors that determined the victory of the despot Ortega Saavedra in the 2006 election for President of the Republic with only 38% of the votes, according to the data of the SEC under the administration of Judge Rivas Reyes.

The judge in question resigned from his position on May 31, 2018, after he was accused of corruption by the Frente Amplio por la Democracia (FAD), Broad Front for Democracy, among other entities. The FAD filed a formal complaint at the offices of the Public Ministry against Rivas Reyes and his boss, despot Ortega Saavedra, for Crimes Against Public Administration and Crimes Against Patrimony and Socioeconomic Order, on February 28, 2021. The "resignation" of the former president of the SEC does not exempt the FSLN from the crimes of which he is accused. The case of Rivas Reyes is only a bubble of the boiling corruption that continues to be the value with which the political parties, historically, have negotiated the power of the State at the table of ambition.

The SEC's call for general elections is not the act of a power separate from the FSLN’s dirty strategy to capture the elections’ results and turn them into its victory. Furthermore, it is not clear and convincing evidence that the Government of Reconciliation and National Unity (GRNU), controlled by the FSLN, is a free democracy and not the dictatorship of a kleptocracy that hides its black muzzle and red cudgel behind the slogan "good government". The truth is that the FSLN can only govern like the army that, on July 19, 1979, converted its military victory into the right to possess the State and reorder it to turn it into the fortress from which it defends its booty of war—which it immunized against

prosecution with Law No. 85—repressing whoever it suspects of wanting to take away "its reward" for having "liberated the nation" from the evil Somoza Dynasty.

The FSLN has already turned the announced presidential elections into its means to achieve its goal of covering up its totalitarian ambition, creating a mirage with the heat generated by the assault rifles with which it represses the opposition to its dictatorship that its publicists make up with the vain adjectives "Christian, socialist and solidary". In that illusion, "the people" will "happily" vote, once again, for "the Good Government of President Commander Daniel Ortega and Compañera Rosario Murillo". "Good" is the adjective with which the FSLN qualifies itself in its propaganda discourse, while in its jails its henchmen torture its designated "enemies", or suspected of being so, "for their own good" and to align them with the corrupt tongue of the despot Ortega Saavedra under the shadow of his conscience.

In the elections in which the FSLN has "won", "the people" who have elected it, in fact, have validated the ignorance, ambition, corruption, brutality and mediocrity which are its real attributes. By voting in elections that the FSLN has conditioned with its policy of leader of the kleptocracy that plunders the State, "the people" have corrupted themselves and lost their sovereignty. The incentive of voters intimidated by poverty—which the FSLN has cultivated with its "socialist" policy for the enrichment of its capitalist sponsors—has been hunger, not love for the "good despot" who gets confused trying to talk like a good Samaritan.

Presidential elections are a mechanism of democracy, which is the property of the nation that works and pays tribute to the State to maintain it. And the vote is a right of the nation that exercises it to confirm the primacy of its sovereignty over the State and the political party that administers it.

Democracy is not the program of the political party that administers the State, which is the property of the nation. The Government should be the moral agent of a policy that belongs to the nation and should serve only as the instrument for the construction of its welfare and improvement. The Government should not be the political party and public policy should not be the political party line.

The FSLN does not understand the aforementioned democratic principles because it is not a democratic entity nor does it know how to govern a civil society without its assault rifle and mobs; armed only with the lantern of truth, reason and honesty. The law and policy of its government are the reflections of its instinct as an army fighting to defeat its enemy and retain the power of the State that it conquered as the main objective of its war against the Somoza Dynasty in 1979. Public power has been converted by the FSLN into the bullet of honor that it has pinned to the chest of a false hero to satisfy his vanity and complement his inadequacy to make a living as a naked ape.

The knowledge of government that the president of the FSLN possesses is the product of the sum of his war experience and admiration for the totalitarian power and the "revolutionary” and luxurious way of life of the Stalinist bureaucracy that educated him and lives off the domination of Cuban and its wealth. His conscience is a traumatized remnant of the war he waged against his enemy, the National Guard (NG), killing in order not to be killed, guided by the principle of "the end justifies the means". The Sandinista commanders learned to govern their army during said war as members of a privileged aristocracy with the scepter of "comandantismo", that is, the descending pyramidal system, of order and obedience, originating in the superiority of the commander over the soldier.

The dirty electoral war that the FSLN is waging against the opposition to impose the despot Ortega Saavedra as the winner of the next presidential election is a reflection of its moral and political

insecurity of itself. The aspirant to the scepter of totalitarian Commander-State is a soldier who is sick with war, ambition, vanity and mediocrity. His decadent "strongman" appearance is a manufactured "bravery" armored with the assault rifles of his henchmen. Such a war is the expression of his fear of the inevitable advent of "Somoza's day", when he will no longer be able to impose his immoral power on the nation with his military might and his political illusion will disappear.

The FSLN took the power of the State, on July 19, 1979, acting in its condition of victorious army with the right to take possession of the booty of war and govern the nation. The first government it established, the Government Junta of National Reconstruction (GJNR), was a product of its need to articulate the State with its purpose of becoming the ruling class, the "sons of Sandino", that is rooted in the "liberator" army that was the beneficiary of the spoils of war. The functioning of the GJNR was subordinated by the FSLN to the despot Ortega Saavedra’s desire of becoming the sum total of the power of the armed forces, the State and the nation.

The current dictatorship of the FSLN—which it executes with the deceptive seal of Government of Reconciliation and National Unity (GRNU)—is the desire of said despot converted into the economic, political and military machine that he uses to wage his dirty war against the opposition to impose himself as the total incarnation of the State and democracy.

Democracy is not the instrument that suits the FSLN's primitive condition of an army that governs with its war mentality to defend its possession of the power of the State as the most valuable jewel of its booty of war. Moreover, the FSLN is a kleptocracy whose survival instinct drives it toward totalitarianism and war. Its only interest in government is to use it as the legislator who turns its corruption into law, the policeman who arrests its enemies and the judge who convicts them.

The bloody presidential election of the Comandantíssimo Ortega will be carried out as part of the FSLN's policy for the perpetuation of its dictatorship through the substitution of democracy by a false and tyrannical "Father of the Homeland".

The presidential election which is part of the mechanism of the democracy that the nation controls as part of its sovereignty over the State cannot be held with the People imprisoned by the Government of a delusional, lying, thieving and aggressive soldier.
