Read excerpts from the book “Nicaragua Betrayed” detailing the role of infiltrated churches in subjugating that country with Communism

 by Edward Ulrich, January 5, 2024




Leftist revolutionaries celebrating their “victory” of Nicaragua being subjugated by Communism in 1979.  (Their modern-day equivalents would be Establishment groups such as Antifa and BLM.)

The excerpts presented in this article are taken from the article “The Astonishing Story of Nicaragua’s Anastasio Somoza,” which is a summary of the memoirs of Anastasio Somoza, the popular leader of Nicaragua whose pro-U.S. government was overrun by Communist Sandinistas that were covertly supported by the globalist Establishment associated with Jimmy Carter’s Administration.

These excerpts specifically detail the infiltration of Nicaragua’s churches by the political Establishment, and how it led to the country being overthrown with Communism.

From the article’s Introduction

 

Among the most important autobiographies written during the 20th century is one that most people have never heard of, and it’s one that the globalist Establishment does not want people to know about.  The book “Nicaragua Betrayed” is the engrossing behind-the-scenes account of the political career of Anastasio Somoza, the popular democratically elected leader of Nicaragua between 1967 and 1979, whose pro-U.S. government was overrun by Communist Sandinistas which the book proves were covertly supported by the globalist Establishment [note— “Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)”] associated with Jimmy Carter’s Administration.  Somoza was assassinated in 1980 shortly after his book was published.  The book is very important because it exposes the true agendas of globalism and how the Establishment global elite actually operate.

Anastasio Somoza spent most of his early life in the United States and graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1946.  He loved the United States, and the structure of his government was entirely similar to the U.S. as a democratically elected constitutional republic, which allowed the same freedoms and potential for prosperity as the United States offered, including freedom of the press.

Somoza was a person of much integrity and resourcefulness, and his book explains through firsthand accounts his dealing with constant assaults on him and his free country by ultimately the most powerful political forces on the planet— the global elite Establishment during the Carter Administration.  The book describes the Establishment covertly equipping Communist Sandinista militants through Castro’s Cuba against Nicaragua, engaging in nonstop slander attacks by the United States mainstream media against him (the book provides a wealth of evidence exonerating him from such slander), strong-arming adjacent Latin American countries against him, imposing embargoes and sanctions based on fraudulent claims, and infiltrating the churches of Nicaragua with [note— “Illuminati”] militant Communist Sandinista priests.

…

Much of the book is dedicated to Somoza describing how it increasingly became apparent to him that the invading Sandinista activity was ultimately the result of covert United States activity through Castro’s Cuba, despite the fact that Somoza’s government was entirely pro-U.S. and modeled after the governmental system of the United States, including having freedom of the press that allowed extremist newspapers to publish articles criticizing him.

Somoza details the final years of his non-stop seemingly impossible successes in dealing with the onslaught of attacks that were ultimately initiated by the global elite— with his successes being due to the overwhelming support of the majority of the people in his country who understood the situation and pulled together to help push back the Communist Sandinistas; however trade embargoes covertly enforced by the U.S. combined with attacks by Sandinista militants pouring in from adjacent countries who were funded by the globalist Establishment eventually overtook the resources of Somoza’s free government, with many heroic and honorable individuals who understood what was at stake fighting until they ran out of ammunition, after which many of them were subsequently tortured and murdered.

In July 1979, Somoza was forced to resign the Presidency and eventually took refuge in Paraguay.  He was assassinated in 1980 near his exile home shortly after his book was published.

…

The totalitarian Communist Sandinista FSLN government that took over Nicaragua had direction and support from Castro’s Cuba, and shortly after taking power they massacred and imprisoned thousands of innocent people, implemented bans on free speech, and took land and property of the people of Nicaragua to be “redistributed.”  Today Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere after Haiti.

Excerpts from Chapter 1: The Tragedy of ‘72 — Earthquake

 

This chapter describes Anastasio Somoza’s efforts while being in charge of the relief and reconstruction efforts for the city of Managua after it was destroyed by a devastating earthquake in 1972.  It is explained how his efforts were able to effectively manage the situation and head off potential ensuing chaos, despite efforts of corrupt political opposition including people associated with the U.S. government who attempted to use the disaster to slander and disempower Somoza’s efforts.

…

— Somoza explains it was lucky that before the earthquake he asked for an urban study of Nicaragua because the city was growing so rapidly, and his advisors told him to establish a “land bank” where 340 acres were purchased for future use.  When the U.S. set aside eleven million dollars for the construction of eleven thousand small homes, the land was already available to build on that saved much valuable time and effort.  All of the homes were able to be completed before the rainy season, and they were distributed fairly, which was one of many factors growing Somoza’s support from the working class.  Despite the accomplishment, the Bishop of Managua Obando Bravo broadcasted radio addresses complaining that the houses were made out of wood rather than brick and stone.

…

— Bishop Bravo wanted to distribute the supplies through the Church, but the churches were destroyed.  Somoza being a Catholic and wanting good relations with the Church invited the Bishop to his office to show him a confidential map of the relocations of the city to determine where he wanted to place his churches, and the land would then be donated.  But the Bishop never came back, however he bought a piece of land based on the maps that he later sold back to the government for $400,000.

Excerpts from Chapter 2: How it all Began

 

This chapter describes the beginnings of militant Communist Sandinista guerrilla activity in Nicaragua being due to infiltration of churches and universities as well as being due to information published by extremist newspapers; also described is agricultural programs Somoza implemented, his successful campaign for reelection to the Presidency, and a meeting he had with the President of Venezuela Carlos Andrez Perez.

…

— Many priests sought out youngsters from the upper class families and indoctrinated them to the leftist cause using Marxist brainwashing techniques, which caused the children of many successful families in Nicaragua to turn against their parents.  It was reported in the July 11, 1979 issue of “Accuracy in Media, Inc.” that a Sandinista “Roving Ambassador” priest had long talks with the Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran and in Cuba, and he had established a Catholic commune on an island in Lake Nicaragua, which became a Sandinista recruiting base.  Somoza explains that this is only one priest who happened to be reported in the media, and usually such priests conducted their subversive activities without exposure of public scrutiny.

— Many of the militant priests came from the U.S. and Spain, and Somoza knew who they were and what they were teaching due to intelligence sources.  Somoza explains that if he were a dictator like Castro, he could have banished the priests or had them liquidated, but he believed in freedom of religion and instead sought rather to only monitor their activities and curtail their influence as much as possible.

…

— One man who was directly connected to all the leftist Sandinista activity was Pedro Joaquin Chamorro, who overtly worked with the Jesuit priests, university officials and students, and the FSLN.  Despite his activities being well known to the Somoza Administration, he was not banished or imprisoned.  Chamorro was also the co-owner of the newspaper La Presna, and he used this newspaper to blast Somoza nearly every day.  The newspaper promoted the Communist cause and essentially advocated an overthrow of the government, but Somoza continued to allow the newspaper to publish until they were actually in serious battle with the Sandinistas, due to the right of the freedom of the press.  Many visiting dignitaries were shocked by the fact that the newspaper was allowed to be printed with what it was saying.  Somoza says, “To all of them, I could point to it and say, ‘Perhaps now do you believe that we have freedom of the press in Nicaragua?’”  Later when Chamorro was assassinated, the Communists and the international press incorrectly blamed Somoza; but Chamorro was the last person Somoza wanted killed because he then became a martyr.

Excerpts from Chapter 3: Terrorism in Managua

 

This chapter describes a situation in 1974 where terrorists took a Christmas party hostage in Managua that had 45 people attending including many high ranking political figures as well as friends and family of Somoza, where the terrorists demanded money, the release of convicted felons, and passage to Cuba.  Also explained is how some Sandinista Jesuit priests started a slander campaign in Washington to attempt to deprive Nicaragua of military assistance from the United States.

…

— When lines of communication were established with the terrorists, they demanded that Bishop Monsignor Obando Bravo come to the house to visit with them (Bravo was the leader in the Catholic Church who Somoza had problems with after the earthquake).  When Bravo was finally able to be contacted, he was asked to first meet with Somoza in his office, and Somoza recalls that his face was ashen, and he kept trying to lick his lips but his mouth was dry; obviously something traumatic was happening within him.  Somoza’s analysis of the man that later turned out to be correct was that he knew the hostage action was going to be taken.  The terrorists also asked for various Communist associated doctors including Dr. Gutierrez Sacasa, who is now the Vice Minister of Health for the Sandinista ruling government of Nicaragua.

— Bishop Bravo was then sent to visit with the terrorists and he was presented with their demands, and it became apparent that Bravo was working on the side of the terrorists based on his behavior when he returned to report what they had told him.  Bravo told Somoza that it wouldn’t be possible for him to talk to the terrorists, and they wanted ten million dollars as well as an airplane so they could fly to Cuba, and the demands had to be met on the following day.  However Somoza knew that those demands could not be met and they had to play for time.  Bravo was then sent back to ask that they at least release the women and children, which they did do.

— The dean of the diplomatic corps in Nicaragua was selected as a replacement for Bravo as a negotiator, and finally they were able to have real dialog with the terrorists.  The terrorists were threatening to kill one person an hour until their demands had been met, and they were constantly putting hostages on the phone with guns to their heads to talk to relatives.

— Somoza knew that it would not be possible under international law to send all the hostages with the terrorists to Cuba, so they negotiated and it was agreed that only a few would go along including Bishop Bravo.  The terrorists also demanded that twenty convicted felons who committed crimes including murder must be released from prison, including Daniel Ortega who is now a member of the ruling Marxist junta— and Lenin Cerna, a Marxist who is today in charge of the Sandinista government’s State Security.

…

— After Somoza had time to talk with the hostages personally, he reached the conclusion that the Sandinista terrorists had a hardcore group of leftist priests with whom they could work and from whom they could obtain intelligence information, and also it was apparent that the rebels were without money and they felt it necessary to perform a spectacular criminal act to attract international attention.  Also apparently the women among the terrorists were more vicious than the men.

…

— Somoza says, “After the terrorists demonstrated to the world that their connection was Cuba, I thought, now the United States will believe me and now the United States will act. How wrong I was!” … “To my perturbation and utter disbelief, I found anti-Nicaragua sentiment being expressed in Washington.  I wanted to find the source of such malignity and I did.  The Leftist priests in Nicaragua, seeing they couldn’t destroy me and my government in Nicaragua, decided that they should take their battle to Washington.” .. “Father Miguel d’Escoto and Father Fernando Cardinal and a few other Jesuit priests started a campaign with known left-leaning members of the U.S. Congress.”  An organization called “The Washington Office for Latin America” (WOLA) assisted with the slander campaign, and their strategy was to terminate military assistance to Nicaragua and to cause a breach in loyalty between the U.S. and its ally Nicaragua.  The Jesuits used the issue of “human rights” in their campaign and supplied disinformation, and they were able to enlist Clarence Long of Maryland, Edward Koch of New York, and David Obey of Wisconsin to back them.  Due to this, Liberal and Leftist members of the U.S. Congress, the State Department, and the Executive branch of the government started to oppose Somoza and Nicaragua, and the movement was starting to gain momentum.

 

 

Excerpts from Chapter 6: Sandino and the Sandinistas

 

This chapter explains a number of issues including the international mainstream media starting to attack Somoza while portraying Sandinista subversives in a positive light; an example is described of tactics used by Sandinistas in battle causing Somoza’s troops to be portrayed as being cruel and out of control; a summary of the history of the Sandinista movement is explained; and also explained is how militant Jesuit Priests indoctrinated young subversives against the government.

View the full chapter summary >>

…

— At the time the international press started attacking Somoza, many favorable articles began to appear about the subversive “Sandinistas,” depicting them as young idealists who, “with their bare hands, were fighting a horrible dictator named Somoza.”  Somoza says, “All of the leaders had been trained in Cuba, Czechoslovakia, the PLO, Libya, and Panama; and they were tough.  They knew tactics and their knowledge of weaponry was first rate.  …  As a result of the Jesuit priests’ training and as a result of the favorable international news coverage, many young idealists did join the Sandinistas.  Their movement now began to gather some momentum.”

…

— As fighting continued, Somoza’s government gained continual insight into the makeup of the forces they were battling.  He explains an example where they captured a wounded son of wealthy Nicaraguan cattle rancher, and in another case they captured the employees of a sugar mill who attacked a police station and killed some of the enlisted men.  “We knew the Sandinistas were Communists, but it surprised us to learn they had successfully convinced sons of solid conservative families actually to join them in battle.  We knew the leftist Jesuit Priests had done a good job of indoctrination, but we didn’t fully realize just how effective that indoctrination had been.”

…

— Leftist priests moved in to fill the void created by Amador’s death, and continued his work but at a much higher economic level.  “In Jesuit schools, the seeds of discontent and, basically, the seeds of Communism, were sown.  Their doctrine was spread to the children from affluent families, and with many the doctrine was accepted.  You had young men like the Carrion Cruz boys, and the Langs Sacasa for example.  They became avowed Communists and they had received their training from the Jesuit priests.”

Perhaps the foregoing again illustrates the liberty which existed in Nicaragua.  Not a single school in which the Jesuits were teaching their Communistic philosophy was ever closed.  It is my belief that Nicaragua was pinpointed in Latin America as the key government to destroy, and that the Jesuit priests figured prominently in the planning.

One might ask why, of all the countries in Central America, was Nicaragua pinpointed as the country to be taken?  The answer is that we had a successful government.  Our country was financially sound.  Nicaragua has progress and the future looked bright for all our people.  Also, we had a successful political system based upon a constitutional form of government.  More importantly, the people of Nicaragua were, and still are, anti-Communist.  They believed in individual liberty and they were proud of their country.  Moreover, Nicaragua had earned the respect of her neighbors.  Their belief, and it was a sound concept, was that if Nicaragua could be taken by the Left, then the remaining countries in Central America could not stand the pressure.  And one by one, they would also succumb to the Leftist onslaught.

…

— Somoza explains that it is important to him to document genuine evidence about the involvement of priests in the situation so as not to be accused of being somehow biased.   He mentions a February 8, 1980 issue of the New York Times where an article by the Times writer Alan Riding wrote an article with the headline NEW NICARAGUA REGIME RECOGNIZES CHURCH’S POTENT ROLE.   Somoza explains, “From my viewpoint, this is a fascinating article because it backs up my every contention in reference to the Jesuit Priests.   First, Riding recognizes there are political factions amongst the Priests — the apolitical and the political.”

In reference to the political segment, Mr. Riding had to say:

In Nicaragua, this change was first apparent among priests, often Jesuits, teaching in private Catholic schools: by the mid-1970’s, many of their former students, children of wealthy families, had joined the guerrillas.  And as the fight against President Anastasio Somoza Debayle intensified, several priests joined the Sandinistas, while others helped organize slum neighborhoods in preparation for last year’s successful insurrection.

But at the level of the priests, the church was participating fully in the revolution.  The Rev. Miguel d’Escoto was named Foreign Minister, the Rev. Ernesto Cardinal became Minister of Culture, the Rev. Fernando Cardenal was placed in charge of the literacy crusade and the Rev. Xavier Gorostiaga was given a key role in the Ministry of Planning.  Many parish priests, who had collaborated with the rebels, began organizing their community for the reconstruction effort.

Somoza closes the chapter with the following text describing the newspaper excerpt:

How could it be stated more clearly, and how could I ask for a more clearly defined position of the Jesuit priests?  It’s all there.  It should be made clear, however, that, at the priest level, the Communists have successfully infiltrated Catholic orders other than the Jesuits.

My sympathy goes out to the people of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.  The Jesuit priests, in collaboration with the Cuban-trained guerrillas, are following the same course in those countries that they followed in Nicaragua.  If they are able to pursue effectively their preconceived plan of action, then those countries, too, will fall.

The plague of the Sandinistas and the ghost of Augusto Cesar Sandino have already fallen upon those other Central American Republics.  It’s one down and four to go in Central America but, in reality, it’s one down and nineteen to go in Latin America.

 

 

Excerpts from Chapter 11: Terrorism in Managua: Phase Two

 

This chapter describes another terrorist hostage situation occurring in Nicaragua, this time happening at the National Palace in Managua with fourteen Sandinista gunmen holding as many as 1,500 people hostage including many of the members of the Nicaraguan Congress.  The terrorists demanded that their “manifesto” be disseminated through the media, the release of 59 prisoners, ransom money, and their safe passage to Panama and Venezuela, where they were then welcomed as heros.

…

— Once the terrorists were inside the Palace, they closed all the doors and ordered all of the members of the House of Representatives to put their hands in the air and they were pushed in front of the windows so they could serve as human shields for the killers.  Once the terrorists had control of the Palace, Somoza received a telephone call from Luis Palliais Debayle, who was his first cousin and presiding officer of the Congress.  Debayle told him they were being overpowered by terrorists, and as they were talking, a gun was being held to his head.  Debayle then said that they told him that all the Bishops who were in Managua at that time should come to the Palace to act as mediators.

— As they were searching for the Bishops, it occurred to Somoza that the terrorists wanted to also include Bishops other than only Obando Bravo in order to take some of the suspicion off of him.  Somoza says, “As things happened, there were three Bishops in a meeting in Managua, Monsignor Salazar from Leon, Monsignor Lopez Fittoria from Granada, and Monsignor Obando Bravo from Managua.  …  Contact was made with all the Bishops, as well as the Red Cross.  The first order of business was to remove the dead and wounded from the Palace.  The Bishops and the Red Cross proceeded with that gruesome task.”

Excerpts from Chapter 14: The News Media and Jack Anderson

 

This chapter explains issues of bias in the news media concerning Somoza’s administration, including the fact that the media would not report atrocities associated with the Sandinistas, issues with Somoza being slandered by a U.S. newspaper columnist Jack Anderson and by the television show “60 Minutes,” and also issues with the shooting of the journalist Bill Stewart.

…

— Somoza says, “It’s difficult for citizens of the United States to understand that their President and their State Department were actually in the forefront of a Leftist movement to destroy an anti-Communist government.”  [Note: The powerful political organization known as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is often responsible for biasing mainstream media reports in order to forward globalist objectives including the spreading of Communism in countries of the world.  See A Summary of the Documentary Video “Behind the Big News”.]

— From pages 197 – 200:

After the Communists won, [U.S. newspapers such as the New York Times and the Washington Post] and other elements of the [U.S] news media were suddenly very quiet.  Their mission had been accomplished.  The slaughter of three thousand human beings was not important enough to warrant any kind of story.  The inhuman brutality of the Sandinistas was not newsworthy.  They had the information, as did Carter and the State Department, but it would not be disclosed.  It’s impossible to reveal all of the atrocities committed by the Communists, but I shall discuss some of those so the true nature of these revolutionaries may be understood.  Detailed reports of these crimes have been sent to Washington.

— The Sandinistas captured, tortured, and shot Lt. Juan Ocon.  While he was still alive his head was cut off.  His family could not find his head so the family buried him with a plaster head attached to the body.

— Alvaro Sanchez was taken out of his home and shot in the presence of his mother and children.

— Pedro Pablo Espinoza, newspaperman and member of the Liberal Party, was captured by the Sandinistas in El Dorada.  He was tortured, his eyes gouged out, and was then shot.

— In Leon, thirteen young members of the Guardia Nacional surrendered to the Sandinistas.  They were taken to the football stadium in Leon where they were all shot.

— While Lt. Rene Silva, a member of the Guardia National from Matagalpa, was at the battle front, the Sandinistas went to his home and murdered his wife and two children, four and two years old.

— Dr. Rafael Saavedra, General Director of Customs, was burned alive by the Sandinistas and his two sons killed.

— Two female police students were captured.  One of them was four months pregnant.  They opened her up and pulled the fetus out.  According to sworn testimony given to the U.S. House of Representatives and which appears in the February 26, 1980 Congressional Record, this group was under the command of an American by the name of Clifford Scott.

— Major Domingo Gutierrez and six of his men were captured.  They were placed in a hole, sprayed with gasoline and burned alive.

— Sergeant Edwin R. Ordonez of the infantry training school was captured and burned alive.

— Dr. Cornelio Hueck, former President of the Congress, was captured at his ranch near Rivas, he was taken to the town square of Tola where he was shot several times in non-vital areas.  Then, with the people of the town present, he was placed on a table and, while he was still alive, his heart was cut out.

— Major Pablo Emilio Salazar, better known as “Comandante Bravo,” was captured by the Sandinistas in Honduras after the war was over, and tortured to death.  His face was beaten beyond recognition, his arms broken, his ears cut off, his genitals severed, strips of his skin peeled from his body and, finally, he was shot in the head.


Several times I have mentioned Commander Bravo, because he was a “soldier’s soldier.”  On August 1, 1979, Commander Bravo testified in Washington D.C., before a press conference called by Congressman John Murphy of New York.  Other former members of the Guardia Nacional gave statements that day as well as numerous civilians.  Those Nicaraguans were there to tell the American people of the horrible atrocities being committed by the new Marxist regime.

…

The foregoing is just an indication of the horrible crimes committed by the new Marxist government in Nicaragua.  Verification and complete statements concerning these mentioned crimes can be found in the “Congressional Record” of February 26, 1980.

But the list of those who were raped and murdered goes on and on.  Perhaps it should be pointed out that by and large, these heinous crimes were committed AFTER the Marxist victory.  As I have stated previously, some three thousand men, women, and children of Nicaragua have been slaughtered.  These murders continue until this day, and the brutality is unbelievable.

One thing is clear; the human rights standards proclaimed by Mr. Carter do not apply to the Communists.  It should be clear to all that his program only applied to anti-Communists.  Further, the news media are now content.  They no longer direct their attacks upon Nicaragua.  For this position, there is an obvious answer.  The Communists now control Nicaragua.

…

 

 

Excerpts from Chapter 17: Nicaragua Now— Color It Red

 

This chapter explains Nicaragua’s predicament after Anastasio Somoza had left the country.  Somoza describes totalitarian Communists now ruling the country, his family newspaper being turned into the official voice of the Sandinistas, freedom of the press no longer existing in Nicaragua, many people fleeing the country, and how Communism is being spread to other Latin American countries.

From page 295:

…  To appreciate fully the individual liberty and freedom which existed in Nicaragua prior to the Marxist take-over, one should throughly digest the Sandinistan Defense Committee’s directive in [the Nicaraguan newspaper] La Prensa:

… The CDS must be the eyes and the ears of the revolution.  They must at this time be its principal defenders.  This control must be carried out as follows:

1.  It is necessary to have a map of the suburb where you live.

2.  A census must be taken to determine who lives in your block.  Each block must make list of its neighbors.

3.  If a counter-revolutionary individual lives in that block, we will do the following:

A.  Locate his house.
B.  Make a file.
C.  Have constant vigilance of the identified element to know all of his movements.

4.  All members of the CDS must must carry out this vigilance and for that purpose it is important that they establish posts in each block.  All night there must be watches by turns, each car that goes by, take down the make, color, and license number.  Every time the dog barks, see who goes by and where he is going.  Keep watch to know which neighbor arrives late, if he carries packages or is with friends.  Watch those houses where cars arrive late at night and take down all details.  When you see someone who doesn’t belong in that section, watch him and follow him so that we know what he is doing.  We must not let even one movement go by, since it could be the counter-revolutionaries.

5. Regarding the authorization of traveling, migration papers, there must be verification that the person who must approve departures is the person in charge of the Sandinista block committee.

6.  All persons must carry a letter from his old Sandinista Block Committee to the new CDS of where he will be living.

7.  Be alert to the following:

A.  If you have a Somocista neighbor: accuse him.
B.  If you see a strange movement in your block: watch it!
C.  Carry out your night watches to watch for counter-revolution!

SANDINISTA DEFENSE COMMITTEE (CDS)

MANAGUA, D.N. September 29, 1979.

The foregoing represents the conditions under which the people of Nicaragua live.  These people have been accustomed to free movement, free thinking, and free individual activity.  Those freedoms no longer exist.  Neighbor spies upon neighbor and there is constant fear.  There is always a possibility that you will be falsely accused.  Then what?  You are presumed guilty until you can prove yourself innocent.  Furthermore, if the block captain doesn’t like you or suspects that you are unfriendly to the Communist government, any food rations which are due you and your family can by cut off.  The Communists know very well that if you control a man’s food supply, you pretty well have him under your control.

…

— The “Isle of Youth” is an island 250 kilometers south of Havana which is used as a Communist indoctrination fortress.  Somoza explains that at the moment there are fifteen thousand students from African nations on the island, as well as some from Nicaragua.  Castro’s indoctrination programs are similar to the ones used by the Leftist Jesuit priests.

…

— Somoza says, “Honduras, Guatemala, and Costa Rica are rapidly being infiltrated by the Communists.  Each day there are more killings in Guatemala.  There, again, Jesuit priests can be found in the front of the Communist movement.  These political priests seem to be omnipresent.  They were effective in Nicaragua, and now they are being effective in Guatemala.  I’m not saying these priests are not active in Honduras and Costa Rica, because they are.  It’s simply that they are devoting more attention to Guatemala at this time.”
