Un cortometraje sobre los efectos de la “estado de excepción” de #Bukele en #ElSalvador.

Amada Torruella's short film “La Isla” appears today on the website of the New Yorker. It’s about the family of a man who #ElSalvador authorities took away during a sweep early in Nayib Bukele's state of emergency, which has jailed more than 1% of the population since March 2022.

https://www.newyorker.com/video/watch/the-new-yorker-documentary-la-isla-women-speak-out-after-mass-arrests-in-el-salvador

Even though El Salvador’s homicide rate is now purported to be nearly as low as Denmark’s, there is no end in sight to the “state of exception” limiting basic rights.

Still from the film with the caption, "I hope to God to have them back with us soon."

@napocornejo
Same for National #security and "Regimen de excepcion" like in #elsalvador

These are just universal ways to hide all kinds of weird things.

It is high time for Spain to start paying reparations to American countries for ~300 hundred years of colonialism and plundering. And the spaniards must pay in a commensurate magnitude.

In this context, I heartily recommend that you listen to Chris Hedges’ [@chrislynnhedges] most recent podcast!

It’s only short (36 mins) but, boy!, it provides *such* a powerful insight into the ‘silent coup’ that global corporations have engineered to essentially overthrow democracy across the world since the post -WWII decolonisation period!

El Salvador: Protests during Independence Day celebrations

El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele has been sliding toward authoritarianism. Today, thousands protested against arbitrary detentions of citizens and against Bukele’s effort to serve a second consecutive term in clear violation of the constitution.

On this day in 1821, the Central American Union declared independence from Spain. This union consisted of #CostaRica, #Nicaragua, #Honduras, #Guatemala, #ElSalvador, #Belize, and part of the Mexican state of #Chiapas. Guatemala City was the capital city of the Union, which only lasted a few years until it broke up into its component states.

Panama was at that time part of Colombia.

@djsolar913 propably because most people associate #ElSalvador with B18, MS13 and the #CryptoBroPresident and thus as economically irrelevant beyond the direct vicinity of it's borders...

Like #Slidebean I too wish to be proven wrong and that #ElSalvador - or even more importantly it's people - are getting the prosperity they got promised by #Bukele and their #HumanRights as well as #CivilRights + interest...

But at the same time I'd be lying if I think that's reasonable or realistic....

And yes, of all the #Cryptocurrencies that #ElSalvador could've chosen, #Bitcoin :bitcoin: is the worst of them all!!!

It's way too slow, fragile, fluctuating and costly even compared to #Ethereum...

And espechally compared to #Monero :monero: which just works.

#Crypto #Cryptocurrencies #ElSalvador: "Remittances account for a fifth of the country's GDP.

But two years after El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as its currency, alongside the US dollar, "the goals that were pursued... have not been achieved, people hardly use it, they don't have much trust" in crypto, economist and former Reserve Bank governor Carlos Acevedo told AFP.

"The experiment has not worked, it is a crypto winter," he said.

There are no figures available on how many Salvadorans have taken up Bitcoin.

But a poll conducted in May by the Central American University found that 71 percent believed the cryptocurrency "has in no way helped to improve their family economic situation."

On the streets of San Salvador, the verdict is harsh."

In Manlio Argueta’s novel Cuzcatlán one character survives a lightning strike. The characters then decide he lived because the dog underneath his hammock attracted the lightning. It’s portrayed as common knowledge in the peasant community where the novel is set.

I wonder where this myth came from and where people believe it.

.> ... it is more gratifying to bask in praise for courageously protesting the abuses of official enemies, a fine activity, but not the priority of a value-oriented intellectual who takes the responsibilities of that stance seriously.
.> The victims within our domains, unlike those in enemy states, are not merely ignored and quickly forgotten, but are also cynically insulted. One striking illustration came a few weeks after the murder of the Latin American intellectuals in El Salvador. Vaclav Havel visited Washington and addressed a joint session of Congress. Before his enraptured audience, Havel lauded the “defenders of freedom” in Washington who “understood the responsibility that flowed from” being “the most powerful nation on earth”—crucially, their responsibility for the brutal assassination of his Salvadoran counterparts shortly before.
.> The liberal intellectual class was enthralled by his presentation. Havel reminds us that “we live in a romantic age,” Anthony Lewis gushed. Other prominent liberal commentators reveled in Havel’s “idealism, his irony, his humanity,” as he “preached a difficult doctrine of individual responsibility” while Congress “obviously ached with respect” for his genius and integrity; and asked why America lacks intellectuals so profound, who “elevate morality over self-interest” in this way, praising us for the tortured and mutilated corpses that litter the countries that we have left in misery. We need not tarry on what the reaction would have been had Father Ellacuría, the most prominent of the murdered Jesuit intellectuals, spoken such words at the Duma after elite forces armed and trained by the Soviet Union assassinated Havel and half a dozen of his associates—a performance that is inconceivable.

.> I don’t mean to equate a Vietnamese villager to Vaclav Havel. For one thing, I doubt that the former would have had the supreme hypocrisy and audacity to clothe his praise for the defenders of freedom with gushing about responsibility for the human race. It’s also unnecessary to point out to the half a dozen or so sane people who remain that in comparison to the conditions imposed by US tyranny and violence, East Europe under Russian rule was practically a paradise. Furthermore, one can easily understand why an oppressed Third World victim would have little access to any information (or would care little about anything) beyond the narrow struggle for survival against a terrorist superpower and its clients. And the Pravda hack, unlike his US clones, would have faced a harsh response if he told the obvious truths. So by every conceivable standard, the performance of Havel, Congress, the media, and (we may safely predict, without what will soon appear) the Western intellectual community at large are on a moral and intellectual level that is vastly below that of Third World peasants and Stalinist hacks — not an unusual discovery.
