As citizens of a democracy and the most powerful nation in the world, we have a responsibility to influence how our country treats other people around the world.
Our speaker, Dan Kovalik, will talk with us about our country’s relations with Nicaragua and the elections he will be witnessing there on November 7th. Time for Q&A will follow.
As with Venezuela, it is believed that our government will not honor the results of the Presidential election there, since many of the Opposition candidates are not allowed to run.
Is the President, Daniel Ortega, really turning into a dictator for life, or is it just our mass media that is giving us that impression? In the background, our government has been trying to overthrow the present Sandinista government for many years and we can assume the CIA is still busy with this job, as they have been with other Latin American countries. Illegal economic sanctions are still being applied to Nicaragua by the US as well.
Presenter Daniel Kovalik graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 1993. He then served as in-house counsel for the United Steelworkers, AFL-CIO (USW) until 2019. He currently teaches International Human Rights at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. He has served as an election observer in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Venezuela. He is the author of several books, including “The Plot To Overthrow Venezuela, How The US Is Orchestrating a Coup for Oil,” which includes a Foreword by Oliver Stone, and “No More War, How the West Violates International Law by Using ‘Humanitarian’ Intervention to Advance its Economic and Strategic Interests.”
