B-Man Posted September 26 Posted September 26 Trump is not alone Sep 26, 2024 In June, the two most important heads of state in the Western Hemisphere met in San Salvador. Merco Press reported at the time, “On his way back from California, Argentine President Javier Milei stopped in El Salvador for Nayib Bukele's new inauguration ceremony, which was also attended by other heads of state and government, such as King Felipe VI of Spain with whom he exchanged a brief moment that caught the eye given the recent diplomatic crisis with the Socialist administration of Pedro Sánchez.” The two men have emerged as reformers of sloppy governments in their country. They threw down the gauntlet this week and challenged the new world order of governments being in cahoots with corporations. Oh, I could do the hokey thing and credit Donald Trump for inspiring them, but that is trite and worse, wrong. The situations these men faced in their home countries were so dire that they jumped into the fray to save their nations. They seem to be successful. El Salvador was the murder capital of the world. Bukele took over and sent hundreds of thousands of gang bangers to prison. San Salvador is now the safest city in the Western Hemisphere. Milei has reintroduced capitalism to the Argentinian economy and has begun weeding the government agencies with a chainsaw. This week, they were among the world leaders who spoke at the annual opening of the United Nations, which had devolved into a wannabe world government. Bukele said, “In El Salvador, we do not imprison the opposition, we do not censor opinions or confiscate property for thinking differently. Here, no one is arrested for expressing their ideas." "In El Salvador, we prioritize the safety of our honest citizens over the comfort of criminals. Some say that we have imprisoned thousands, but the reality is we have freed millions.” https://donsurber.substack.com/p/trump-is-not-alone . 1
B-Man Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM In a huge win for Argentina's populist leader Javier Milei, the country has already beaten the recession triggered by his cuts to government spending, and is now growing at a dramatic 3.9% pace. The country stock market, meanwhile, is up 174% this year. Monthly inflation has dropped from 25% to less than 3%. First El Salvador, now Argentina: Brave right-wing leaders are doing the stuff elite progressives say you "can't" do, and are immediately and dramatically improving their countries. Next up, America. 1

It will be tougher here in the US though with the media trying to demonize it as much as possible with panic headlines, comparsions to failed regimes and out of context propaganda based sob stories with individuals to show us why "The policies are cruel and will never work!"
