[Here is an update from my friend in Nicaragua. She lives in a Homestead that she and her husband (now deceased) began over 10 yrs ago. They are Canadian Citizens]

We head for cover every pay day.
Drinking is a very serious problem here, especially since the crisis. People are preferring to drown their sorrows rather than facing them. It is not only adults that have this problem. We see the [kids] as young as five or six swilling the cheap booze they call "joyita". They become even "brave" and more belligerent (combative and aggressive).
We have a couple of things happen in the last couple of days. On the 16th the Prima Damascus (I think she is referring to Rosario Murillo, Daniel Ortega's wife) had what they are calling a stroke.
She is currently in the military hospital under guard.The same day one of the political prisoners in El Modulo #16 was shot and killed by one of the guards.
He was an American citizen.
A number more were injured but we know nothing more about their situation.
We have had no Internet for three days and no power for 24 hours. One of our friends was a arrested on terrorism charges after a fake traffic check.
So far he is being kept separate from the other political prisoners.
He is not Nicaraguan and has been keeping a low profile.
He was out for supplies. (They must go to town for things they cannot grow)
This is not good news for us...

These people really need help, prayers and any more positive thoughts that can be sent.
Why aren't WE SEEING THIS in our 'lamestream media'?]

It is remarkable that the US foments war in Venezuela, and ignores the threat killing Americans in Nicaragua. Apparently the destruction of Nicaragua is satisfactory at present, while Venezuela needs more. I sincerely hope @cecicastor soon is at more liberty to post on her own behalf, and able to build prosperity and security for her and her posterity.
Thanks!

As far as I know, it is Maduro who is fomenting war and socialism
On his own people in Venezuela. We even tried to send
Relief supplies which he blocked.
I don't do political debate.
Be well @valued-customer

I can appreciate your avoidance of political debate, but that is no reason to be susceptible to political manipulation. Do at least glance at @krnel's post here to grasp the basis for my contention, and protect yourself from manipulation.

Oh shit, I wish on a personal level that Ceci and her family could get out of there, but overall that the madness would stop for everyone! How awful! Thank you for tagging me to this. <3

Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq

What is the best way to get communications from cecicastor? She hasn't posted in months, we worry for her.

This was the next to last message I got from her (we were talking about computers)

Amen! Linux is now faster and it is a bit of a learning curve, but which is worse...tearing your hair every half hour with windows for the life of the computer or taking a few weeks of learning a new system that won't tear your hair out? I opt for the few weeks of study...

Here back doors are dangerous with mother Russia helping with the security for the gruesome twosome.

Hey @ironshield
I asked her if she knew you (you have to be careful with that area
Down there) She said:
Hi Jerry. They are fine people with a large family. You may give them my discord address.
So, you can reach her at:
cecicastor#9739 in Discord.

Thank you, it's a relief to know that she can be reached. Ceci and her family have been on our prayer list for months.

Sad to hear Ceci is going through all that. Liquor and being a foreigner can be a dangerous mixture. Not to mention political unrest. This is also true in Bolivia. Long story but I had a family member going through all that including being held and accused of being a spy and often having to run and hide or leave the country for a period of time due to their hallucinations.

Both you and ceci are in my prayers every night @coquiunlimited
Why is it that the central American and Northern S American countries
Never seem to be able to get a stable and equitable government?
(Rhetorical Question) We don't seem to have the knack of it either.
