NORTHERN PLANNER

I make no secret of my love for tea and here’s more persuasion to choose the leaf over the bean.

"Wake up with the Freedom fighters" declares the website for Contra Coffee. It offers coffe grown by the former Contras, the CIA backed militia that waged the dirtiest war against Nicaragua’s Sandinista governement. During the 80’s they carried out a campaign of torture, rape and massacre throughout the peasant communities, with the clandestine funding of the Reagan administration.

But now you can curb the spread of socialism through more peaceful means— purchasing Contra Coffee online with the guarantee that the ex-assasins get a fair price (how nice).
