811 - El Nuevo Camelot feat. Palma (3/1/24)
🕑 Added 2024-03-01 23:23:56 +0000 UTCSweet Palma aka Max stops by to discuss El Salvador and their epic bitcoin president Nayib Bukele. Palma takes us on a humorous and harrowing tour of the recent history of El Salvador, the development of their parties, and the issues that animate Salvadorans, as well as what Bukele’s Whole Thing can illustrate of current political trends. We also touch on recent developments around Israel/Gaza, Trump’s claims about languages “no one’s ever heard”, and Meek Mill’s mastery of crisis PR.

That Iran Contra money more likely than not funded the development of Bitcoin adds symmetry to all this: Bukele brought it back to its source.

I'm surprised that the fact was not brought up that Bukele and his brother moved into politics against their father's advice after attending the School of the Americas. Also his brother appears to be calling the shots and is extremely implicated in some top-tier Latin American political conspiracies, with plenty of spooky connections. There's a whole ass Trueanon episode to be had here.
