That's the name of a movie that just premiered at Sundance. It is about the Dole vs. Nicaraguan banana workers situation and, more specifically, Dole's attack on journalism exposing the story.

The film was to premier at the Los Angeles Film Festival in 2009 but Dole managed to threaten enough people to prevent that. So, finally, the movie premiered at Sundance. You can read the story in canada.com

A somewhat unexpected source, The Economist, has an article about how safe Nicaragua is relative to its neighbors.

The article contains some decent comparative information about the countries in the region. It includes information on the police force here and what seems to be their secret of success.

I need to buy or build a new wallet. In the US I used to use one I made out of duct tape. Because I'm very data-security conscious, I made a wallet with a sealed secret compartment for my RFID cards. In Nicaragua, I suspect my needs have changed. I'm looking for something that will help me hold onto significant cash (I tend to carry around between C$200-2000 in C$100 bills or smaller) and my credit card/ID. Ideally it wouldn't draw attention or suggest I have serious money (either financial backing or significant cash... My duct tape wallet was excellent in this regard.).

All I can find is the salted butter. Anyone know where 1 can find the unsalted stuff?? Preferably in the Managua area. Thanks

Insight Crime reports that the Zetas have recruited 22 Nicaraguan farm workers but not to do farm work. They are to work in Mexico, allegedly as security guards or in construction.

When the group made it to Mexico, they were split up and sent to the cities of Monterrey, San Luis and Saltillo and informed they were joining the Zetas and would be trained in the use of arms to fight for the gang.

I now offer bags of mixed salad greens which contain 5 different lettuces, greens, and arugula. The salad mixes are picked fresh each day and go through a 3 step washing process before being packaged. Product is available for delivery throughout Nicaragua.

There is an interesting blog post in nj.com. It is about the Republican game currently going on in the US but compares 1980s Nicaragua to Cuba. I need to think a bit more about what the offer is saying as there is more in the picture but it is something to think about.

Note that the author concludes that Ron Paul is the only candidate who has faith in Capitalism. That alone makes the article worth reading.
