1 June 2019: Nayib Bukele Ortez became El Salvador’s 81st President
later, he declared an emergency and suspended most civil liberties
El Salvador has the world’s highest number of people in prison
including 12 year old minors …
the number of imprisoned is three times that of the United States
that is, per 100,000 people El Salvador has 1,659 people in jail
whereas per 100,000 people, the US has 541 people behind the bar
which itself is quite a high number for a so-called “democracy”
due to his autocratic rule, Bukele is a darling of the right-wing Republicans
he flew into the US after getting reelected in 2024
he was called a “true leader and received standing ovation at the CPAC
(Conservative Political Action Conference)
Bukele alerted the gathering:
“Dark forces are already taking over your country. You may not see it yet, but it’s already happening.”
Bukele, like other foreign leaders, is good at bullshitting
these leaders are good at telling lies Western ears like to hear
strange indeed as …
dark forces were being warned about dark forces by a dark force
if you terrorize your people you become a “beloved” leader
Garbage man’s friend & the Congress reject Matt Gaetz praised Bukele on X:
“Nayib Bukele locks up the gangs, throws out the corrupt judges, unapologetically embraces God, and rebukes globalism with facts and results.
He is beloved by his people, and an inspiration to the Western World.
I’m honored to call him a friend.
Western World doesn’t need Bukelele’s inspiration …
Columbus arrived in the Americas in 1492
since then, Western World has been on a pillaging and genocidal rampage
Nayib Bukele told Time magazine’s Vera Bergengruen:
“A leader should be a philosopher before he is a king, rather than the typical politician who is hated by their people.”
well, Bukele is a politician whom people can’t hate openly
Bukele’s philosophy is ruling with mano dura or “iron fist”
his iron fist silences all voices allowing Bukele to declare: no one hates me
he throws people in jail by just by alleging they belong to a “gang”
in two and a half year, 330 people died in El Salvador jails
94% of them were not gang members
the other 6%, even if they did belong to gangs, had a right to fair trial
a just system should assist gang members to be rehabilitated
on September 21, 2021, Bukele gave his first speech at the UN
then he changed his Twitter profile which read:
this coolest dictator was not Trump’s favorite
but now Trump welcomes Bukele as a “friend of mine”
the reason being that he wanted to use El Salvador as a dumping ground
for removing immigrants from the US by alleging they’re gang members
US is paying $6 million to Bukele regime to house deportees
innocent people are charged with whatever the Dear Leader comes up with

one of the innocents is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, married to a US citizen
US Senator Chris Van Hollen took up the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case
he went to El Salvador and had Garcia moved to a less rough jail
when the CNN asked Bukele about Garcia, Bukele played smart-ass
“How can I smuggle — how can I return him to the United States? It’s like I smuggle him into the United States or what do I do? Of course, I’m going to do it. It’s like, I mean, the question is preposterous. How can I smuggle the terrorist into the United States? I don’t have the power to return him to the United States.”
one has to marvel at the confidence & sarcasm of Bukele’s bullshitting
“How can I smuggle the terrorist into the United States?”
the CNN reporter couldn’t say:
“what harm an innocent person wrongly charged will do to us
no one can match us, we’re the greatest terrorists on earth”
Bukele’s smart-assness was thanks to President/King Donald Trump
what happens if tomorrow for some reason Trump doesn’t like Bukele
well, Trump will bomb the shit out of Bukele and El Salvador
Bukele will be “the coolest,” literally
his lifeless body won’t be left with any hot blood
no exaggeration:
- Panama’s Manuel Noriega worked for the US CIA
Noam Chomsky on how US hates clients’ independence
“It’s all quite predictable, as study after study shows. A brutal tyrant crosses the line from admirable friend to “villain” and “scum” when he commits the crime of independence. One common mistake is to go beyond robbing the poor-which is just fine-and to start interfering with the privileged, eliciting opposition from business leaders.
“By the mid 1980s, Noriega was guilty of these crimes. Among other things, he seems to have been dragging his feet about helping the US in the contra war. His independence also threatened our interests in the Panama Canal. On January 1, 1990, most of the administration of the Canal was due to go over to Panama-in the year 2000, it goes completely to them. We had to make sure that Panama was in the hands of people we could control before that date.”
George H. W. Bush invaded tiny Panama in 1989, destroyed many slums
a country of 2,300,000 was attacked by 27,000 soldiers & 300 planes
the US killed hundreds, maybe thousands, of Panamanians
- Noriega was arrested and died in a US jail in 2017
Iraq and and Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein met the same fate
in January 1991, Bush bombed Iraq killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis
March 2003 — Bush’s son George W. Bush, then president, invaded Iraq
- Saddam was captured, a sham trial was held, and Saddam was hanged
Iraq was destroyed again by a second war, a great number of people died
every Iraqi government since then, runs according to the US dictate
there are many more scenarios, like this …
