The 60 Minutes segment about the El Salvador torture prison where deportees from the U.S. are sent was axed by CBS on Sunday because they were instructed not to air it.

The Canadian distributor Global TV released it anyway. It was available for two hours, before it broke loose on the internet, and now it’s everywhere. Whoops!

This is called the Streisand Effect.

So it's Guantanamo Bay 2.0 - good work everyone! 🙄

¿Conoces a El Faro?

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Maybe don't come here illegally? Hell maybe don't come here at all?

Also what people were doing the torture and rape? Was it Hispanics?

Time to update that old saying about how idiots give away their freedoms.

First that came for the middle easterners rights and I cheered because I'm a racist piece of shit. Then they came for the hispanics rights and I cheered again because I'm still a racist piece of shit. When they finally came for my rights there was no one left to defend me because I helped lock up anyone who wasn't a racist fascist piece of shit because I didn't know any history at all because I'm also a stupid piece of shit so the inevitable was beyond my comprehension.

LARPertarians:

“Be ungovernable!”

“No, not YOU.”

This is how you present yourself.

You're both fags

You're a stalker and a kidnapper. Shut the fuck up.

Incorrect & no

Is this why you have me muted you LARPertarian retard?

Cry harder faggot

Witness the broad vocabulary and clever wit of the racist in all its glory. The language skills are subtle social cues to the towering intellect that lies beneath.

Your retarded reddit bullshit isn't going to work. Get the fuck away from me Mr. Peanut.

You sound like a bot from X got lost and had too fragile an ego to ask for directions.

Ok quirk chungus

You may not realize this but if I already don't value your opinion your insults don't hurt me at all.

If you want to upset me you'll first have to stand on your own 2 brain cells and convince me you are smarter than a Markov Chain generator. I don't shed a tear over anything dumber than a 2020 LLM.

You could be king of your people if you get beyond repeating 3 word insults you repeated from 4chan up to a full paragraph of original thought.

You'd get so much karma for saying this kinda dogshit on reddit. Especially if it was like 2017. Wowie. You might even be given reddit gold.

Do you have some sort of alarm you can trigger to tell your operator you are stuck in a loop? You already used that reddit insult.

Yeah and you already used the bot insult.

Do you want me to build you a Time Machine so you can go back to your 2012-2017 homeland?

I can put on any one of these movies during the flight for you?

Bye bye Mr. Peanut

As a neutral arbiter of fights, this one goes to Bill. TKO

Sounds like hell.

I spent the last two summers in El Salvador while my son was attending an immersion language school.

I spoke with locals as much as I possibly could and was fascinated to hear their perspective on Bukele.

One particular guide I spent two days with (any national parks there, you MUST be accompanied by a certified tour guide).

He was ex military and seemed rather liberal based on his opinions on same sex/trans rights etc.

—Anyway, he was active during the 2020 gang roundups.

His opinion was similar to every one of the people I spoke to.

They all love the fact that, the country went from a war torn 3rd world shithole to one of the safest in the world.

There’s virtually zero crime there.

Bukele’s approval rating is listed at ~90%

I even spoke to a surf instructor dude that spent some time in jail just last year because of his relationship with a woman who’s brother was a gang member.

Even he said, he’d never trade back to the previous system. He now loves his country.

Just my 2c

For anyone curious about some stats.

I understand why it’s a lot better for the people who live there. When it comes to somewhere I might want to move to though, that prison is a huge honey pot and it was all accomplished by a massive centralization of power, so I still find it to be concerning. Other countries down there have experienced massive prison breaks leading to violence and social unrest, like Ecuador a few years ago. I also work with a Salvadoran guy right now who told me he has multiple friends in prison who are definitely not affiliated with any gang activities and are innocent of any crime, but just got rounded up anyway with no recourse, no visitors allowed and nobody knows if they’ll ever be set free. But, I was in El Salvador for a month many years ago when it was the most dangerous country in Latin America, and I get why nobody would want to trade it back for that.

Totally agree with everything you said.

A lot of people got rounded up for just being affiliated with gang members or having family members involved. I heard this first hand from people. If you even know a gang member and you didn’t turn them in, you get the same treatment.

Its harsh.

There was a Chinese businessman I met on that trip that told me a lot of countries do it this way. He said Americans are so dumb, they think everywhere is like the USA. He said we have it too easy and we’re spoiled.

Food for thought.

Did you use only btc in el salvador? Did you need fiat for anything? And was it usd or another paper money?

They use American dollars there.

Funny story, so I rented a car and drove to the Santa Ana Volcano area and decided to stop at this little restaurant on a cliff overlooking Coatepeque lake (which is fucking amazing btw) when I went to pay, all I had was a credit card and they didn’t accept cards. I was about to leave, and the teenager working in the kitchen stopped me said he could accept bitcoin i used it.

After that, I asked everyone if i could pay with bitcoin and the funny part is that EVERYONE said no. Unless I insisted Lol.

Nobody really uses or understands it.

El Zonte is different. There’s bitcoin signs everywhere and about half of the places I asked accepted it.

I became pretty good friends with this one Airbnb hosts and he kept saying he lost a bunch of money so he didn’t do it anymore.

I asked him when he bought some and he said it was like 55k…

I was perplexed and said why did you sell it, its over 110k???

He didn’t understand.

Its so weird how older people are so oblivious to the concept of btc. Nice guy but just oblivious.

Anyway, bring cash and before you pay in btc, make sure they have a lightning wallet.

It gets old trying to pay $4-5 on chain and upping the fees to speed it up.

LOL, nobody in El Salvador gives a shit about bitcoin.

Pretty much yeah.

They can deal with their own criminals as they see fit. Even in that case, I don’t think it’s right to give them subhuman treatment. But sending nonviolent people who were grabbed off of American streets to this hellhole for missing some paperwork is completely unacceptable.

I'm pretty sure we agree on that.

I can't imagine why we'd send Venezuelans to El Salvador whether they're criminals or not.

Your claim they were non violent is up for debate and I don't think you or I are knowledgable enough of their past to weigh in.

All we really know is what the news has told us.

Its not like we don't know its mostly propaganda anymore so who knows.

Yes they were, one of them was just a guy working as a hairdresser. I’m not giving the feds the benefit of the doubt on anything.

Whats his name so I can search him up.

—5000 sats says he’s a Tren de Aragua gang member from Venezuela.

LOL GFY

Lol okay.

—If you cant attack the argument, you attack the person. Noted.

🍻

Are we doing cheers 🥂

No point in arguing with someone whose position is the presumption of guilt, so yes, GFY is appropriate.

I just wanted to search of this hairdressers name and see if there were any photos of his hand.

Like “Maryland Man”

You know why they didn’t use his name in the news?

Because once his name got out, people were able to research him.

Turns out he had gang tattoos on his fingers and he in the country illegally because he wouldn’t be eligible otherwise.

—So I just asked his name and you resorted to acting like a frustrated child.

Here’s the “Maryland Man”

He’s a fucking gang member & human trafficker.

The body cam footage of his arrest is available if you search up his name:

Kilmar Abrego Garcia

In any event, I’m just stating facts.

Oh and he was deported and brought back because they couldn’t “prove” his guilt. (Sounds like due process to me)

He also wasn’t tortured or imprisoned during his stay in El Salvador either.

So pretty much everything you’ve said is nonsense. You just choose to believe the news you “like”

Wrong guy. You obviously have no clue who I’m referring to.

I was using an example of a different guy on purpose. “Maryland man”

The guy you referred to as “a hairdresser” and I just asked you his name… What’s his name so I can educate myself?

You were offering to wager 5000 sats on an innocent man’s life. I find that disgusting.

Not interested in continuing this conversation. ✌️

No he wasn't.

He was betting you the guy wasn't just a " headresser" and you were full of it.

Kinda looks like you are full of it if that's all you got.

I’m “full of it” beacuse I won’t play your sick game where you assume people are guilty before they even have evidence presented in court. I don’t need to talk to you, either. ✌

Yep.

He’s a libtard 🥴

FAFO

You just got back on Nostr after almost a year? Where ya been?
