Success - how one small country has resisted the Doom Cult
In less than 3 years, this tiny Latin American country went from 'murder capital' of the world to being one of the safest. But, instead of praise, powerful voices in the West have been hostile. Why?
It makes no sense. A country is completely overrun by criminality, has experienced civil war, economic collapse and a diaspora of its citizens - many of whom fled to the USA - and in June 2019 begins a process which dramatically turns the country around to the point where it becomes peaceful and safe, and the diaspora starts to reverse … and yet there are those in the West who having nothing but condemnation for its 43 year old president, Nayib Bukele. The ‘mistake’ that Bukele and his government appear to have committed is the arrest and imprisonment of 70,000 violent gang members, many of whom have carried out gruesome murders and other atrocities.
The country is, of course, the appropriately named ‘El Salvador’.
In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Bukele reveals the background to this shocking shift in the country’s fortunes and gives some insight into the process, which included doubling the size of the army. It was done with limited resources and without any help from outside.
On the one hand, what isn’t surprising is the backlash that the Bukele government received from the criminals themselves. The great fear of the government was that the gangs would indiscriminately kill innocent civilians in retaliation in order to generate terror and make it more difficult for the operation to proceed. As the president himself says, while government forces - police and army - were focussed on capturing 70,000 targets, the criminals themselves could potentially attack anyone in the 6 million population. It was, he acknowledges, nothing short of a miracle that there were in effect no civilian casualties and that they were successful against all odds.
On the other hand, what is surprising is the aggressively hostile reaction from the so-called ‘liberal’ West.
This criticism from Amnesty International in March 2024 is typical:
“El Salvador: The institutionalization of human rights violations after two years of emergency rule
Two years after declaring a state of emergency, a measure that is considered extraordinary and temporary, and implementing a series of amendments to criminal law that undermine the presumption of innocence and the right to defense, among other guarantees of due process, the government of El Salvador continues to ignore its international human rights obligations by maintaining these measures as the mainstay of its security strategy.”
To put this into context, what the reaction from Amnesty does not point out is that the 70,000 who are now behind bars are not 70,000 political prisoners. We are not talking about the ‘disappeared’ of Argentina, or of Pinochet’s Chile. The piazzas in San Salvador are not full of weeping mothers demanding to know where their offspring are.
On the contrary, there would seem to have been a collective sigh of relief. Given the high approval ratings for President Bukele (recently returned for a second term with 84% of the vote), and the increasing number of Salvadorians who want to return to the country (62% of those polled in the USA), it would appear that most people accept the government’s pragmatic decision to curb the freedom of a 70,000 minority; a minority that itself has no respect for the human rights of the majority. Thus the government has acted overwhelmingly in favour of protecting the freedom of the 6 million majority.
It is understandable, however, that Amnesty International and others should be somewhat confused. After all, arbitrary arrest, denial of due process and false imprisonment are what happen in the West to people like Julian Assange, Dr Reiner Fuellmich and Gonzalo Lira. And while Amnesty have spoken out about Assange, there has been a deafening silence on Fuellmich and Lira.
Bizarrely, there is a Latin American theme which connects all three men; a theme which ironically may suggest that Latin America and Latin Americans potentially place an even greater value on freedom than do the liberal West.
Assange thought he was safe in the London Ecuadorian embassy until he was forcibly removed and incarcerated in Belmarsh prison in London. Fuellmich thought he was safe in Mexico until he was kidnapped by the German government and thrown into prison back in Germany [he had had the audacity to run the Corona Investigative Committee]. Gonzalo Lira thought he was safe because he was a cosmopolitan Chilean married to a Ukrainian living in Ukraine - that bastion of liberal democracy and hill where the Anglo-Americans want everyone else to die on. Lira, a prolific YouTuber, may have made the mistake of offending the US government with his outspoken podcasts and thus found himself banged up, subsequently dying in a Ukrainian prison hospital.
None of these men had ever been accused of murder, dealing in narcotics, human trafficking, extortion. Their arrests have had no impact on any crime statistics. They posed no threat to society, unlike the 70,000 gang members doing time in El Salvador. And yet, we are supposed to be more concerned about the hapless prison population of one small South American country than with what happens on our own doorstep in the West.
Weirdly, this kind of inverted thinking echoes the ancient prophecy referred to in the Hermetica, a body of texts which are quite possibly thousands of years old:-
Which is pretty much where we are at now - mad people thought wise, and wise people vilified.
At the time, thousands of years ago, the prophecy referred to the fall of Egypt when it ceased to be ‘the temple of the world’, which eventually happened in the C1st BC. It could be argued that we have been living in a kind of moral darkness ever since for at least two thousand years, overshadowed by the tricks of the Archons - as the Gnostics pointed out in their sacred texts buried at Nag Hammadi in Egypt in the C4th [cf my article Gnostics - Ancient Answers to a Modern Crisis].
Modern day inner city America is now the ultimate evidence of this inversion. In a classic example of the Archontic trick of countermimicry, ‘social justice warriors’ deliver the opposite of justice and criminals go unpunished. Even relatively minor crimes of shoplifting are tolerated. And there is no denying that a leading member of the Doom Cult, George Soros, is encouraging this turn of events. The break down of law and order in America hasn’t happened by accident.
The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund (LELDF), with the aid of a map, explains the mechanism of Soros’ involvement. According to the LELDF, for more than a decade Soros has contributed over $50m to the election expenses of certain local District Attorneys, many of whom have no criminal prosecution experience but who carry out ‘social justice’ sentencing; unconcerned about the rise in crime that follows their appointments. They can be found in places like Chicago, New Orleans and Los Angeles, places where citizens would benefit from actual justice.
The El Salvadorian President, Nayib Bukele, is well aware of Soros’ machinations. Indeed, he called him out by name in his February 2024 address to the annual American Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) [minute 9:11]. He told the conference that “Soros and his cronies hit a brick wall in El Salvador … No one believes his lies over there any more”.
So, perhaps we have now hit peak inversion, peak countermimicry and the scales of justice may yet be tipped in the favour of the victims. The sad prophecy of the Hermetica ends on a positive note. It recognises that a future world “may seek our sacred wisdom” as we come once again to know the “all-seeing Mind” and “reverent words worthy of heaven will be heard”.
President Bukele himself admitted to Tucker Carlson that he and his security cabinet, when faced with the overwhelming odds against them and they didn’t know what else to do, all agreed to pray for the wisdom of God to help them. Tucker was incredulous, asking if everyone in the meeting was comfortable with that? Bukele replied that all of his cabinet are believers, even though El Salvador is a secular country. The miracle clearly worked. Within a relatively short space of time, the country was pacified and there were no civilian casualties.
If nothing else, one small South American country can show what happens when it resists the Doom Cult and acknowledges Divine Spirit. Bukele even said that seeking God’s wisdom is the first part of his economic plan to improve his country. With such courage in leading the way against the Doom Cult and emphasising the importance of the spiritual war, contrary to all expectations, El Salvador could quite literally be the saviour of the world…
