I have never heard this idea about an MS-13 satanism angle. I have listened to Bukele before. Maybe I missed it.

Its well known in Mexican culture.

I find this very interesting because the leaders in my church and brotherhood share a similar approach. Their leadership is very practical and unique—something you can't learn anywhere else—and it all begins with prayer. We have a lot of work to do in America, because it is a battle of good vs evil in the states. Blessed to be in Texas and Austin, because I know its worse in other areas in America. I need to do a better job about talking about my values and principles because these are more important than ever right now.

I wrote about El Salvador in July of 2021 it's interesting to see a lot of what I thought at the time actually came to be.

A great write-up on the history of El Salvador. So much knowledge in there.

Curious though, what were you thinking that wasn’t evident at the time? I didn’t find too much besides the following:

This will lead to investing in themselves. Building schools and developing teachers through youth education programs. Fostering tangible prosperity (educational value you can feel and touch.) this is what will guarantee the conditions of stability and economic change for the people in El Salvador. They are creating a new tradition of hope in El Salvador but they do this by first making make peace with the past so they can hope for a better future, it’s truly a remarkable thing.

I really want to read more forward-thinking posts into where El Salvador goes from here, now that the basic foundations of economic freedom are in place. My sense is it could see development at pace that we may not have witnessed before, perhaps surpassing Hong Kong or Singapore or Dubai in transforming themselves in prior decades. Though they are geographically more isolated so I am sceptical. I love hearing the stories of locals returning and finding opportunity in their motherland and construction being 20% of GDP in just a few short years. Of previously unthinkable practices and businesses flourishing.

Reading from visionaries like this who can see and describe a prosperous future I find uplifting. If anyone has read or written articles looking further forward please drop them or below or send them my way.

Not sure I heard a lot of people saying this at that time. I was def one of few. Lot of people thought he was just a dumb puppet.

Also thanks for the comment David, lot of what he talks about in the interview are very basic practical approaches to building a community with a strong foundation it reminds me very much of Church leadership. Something that shocked me when I came back to the church in 21. Regardless how you may feel about it they do teach you to be mindful of your past and seek advice from elders but it all starts with prayer. Sacrificing oneself for the service of others or the future is common knowledge and something that you either fall in line with or leave. The people that leave usually come back because its the only thing that can fill that void they may have in life. Obviously not for everyone but it does work to transform people and communities. Its good to see someone has taken this approach to a country.

El Salvador were in a desperate situation and took extreme actions to clean it up. I am normally on the side of its more important to maintain the freedom of the innocent than jail the guilty, but they provide an example that when things are that bad, for the good of the masses, jailing a few innocents may be justifiable.

Also find his emphasis on God interesting - felt very "one nation under God". Such ideas can unite a country - are necessary for a cohesive society.

After watching the interview, I read a little about Bukele. Seems he started out advertising for political parties, which makes his success more understandable - not to take away from the difficult decisions he's made.

I don't trust politicians, but what Bukele has done does seem remarkable. Will be interested in what happens when his presidency ends. Wouldn't be surprised if it unravels as quickly as it improved. Although apparently crime was dropping before Bukele came to power, so maybe he isn't solely responsible for El Salvador's improvements

I loved this interview. They went from a dire situation to one where they are free, sovereign, and have a bright future ahead of them - and they also are investing in infrastructure and education.

Nayib Bukele is my President, and I am here in the U.S. still. Degrees of magnitude better than Biden. Even a little better than Trump IMO.

I read this amazing article on El Salvador, very very long but I was completely engrossed in reading it https://mattlakeman.org/2024/03/30/notes-on-el-salvador/ This quote really stood out to me

When El Salvador was the murder capital of the world and thousands of Salvadorans were macheted or gunned down in the streets every year, no one cared. It was written off as a minor shit hole country with intractable violence. Then El Salvador took drastic action to fix the problem and did so successfully. The solution was undoubtedly imperfect, but it was equally undoubtedly successful. El Salvador is a far more peaceful and prosperous country today than it was… arguably ever. And in return, the government of El Salvador has been castigated by many foreign observers. Their criticisms are that El Salvador’s government hasn’t followed the traditional policy recommendations of the West closely enough. Democracy has been undermined and civil rights have been violated.

Absolutely. I like Tucker but I’ve seen him do that in a few other interviews.
