X did widen who gets heard, but 'didn't exist before X' is false for most items (farm murders, Nigeria killings, Epstein were all covered by legacy media), and the Covid, vaccine and climate 'scam' lines are claims, not facts | | Thu Nov 12, 2026, 3:36 AM CST | [post](https://x.com/FaraiMazhindu/status/2120813065692213606) (2,415 likes, 26.8K views at the Nov 12 snapshot) | [[Users/@FaraiMazhindu/Post Analyses/Post Analysis - FaraiMazhindu on Bukele, Haiti and the EU (2026-11-12)\|analysis]] | 🟡/⚠️ The contrast is real. El Salvador's official homicide count fell to 82 in 2025 (1.3 per 100k, a figure that excludes deaths in custody and police killings), while Haiti's gangs still dominate despite billions in aid and years of UN and Kenyan-led missions. But 'one man with will' and 'no billions' leave out key facts. There is a four-year state of exception with 90,000+ arrests, 454 to 580 deaths in custody and the world's highest incarceration rate. A US indictment and El Faro describe secret talks with MS-13 in 2019–21. El Salvador has a $1.4B IMF program. The claim that the EU 'won't praise' Bukele out of embarrassment is speculation. In Haiti most of Bukele's roughly 2,500 troops operate outside the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force, with no public agreement, and rights groups warn about civilian casualties. | ## Interactions with [[marshallpittman]] - **2026-11-13 (summarize run):** Marshall bookmarked this post into "summarize"; no reply.
