For Chris–The horrible prison in El Salvador–have you analyzed how that happened after the war with Salvadorans, which you witnessed, with fighting on both sides–the guerillas and the military supported by the U.S. So these young men probably witnessed or were aware of a lot of killing taking place. And then after the war these young men start murdering civilians all over the country. And now they are in this horrific, inhumane situation in this mega-prison, which many or most may never leave. What are some of your reflections?

Incidentally, my husband and I lived in Nicaragua–on the border of Honduras–for two years so witnessed the war there, where there was a clear right and wrong side of the war–the Contras vs. the Sandinistas. The situation for the Nicaraguan youth today is mostly positive–there are very few homicides in comparison with El Salvador.

Well over 1,000,000 dead Americans from COVID alone in the last four years of the Wall Street Presidency. Many of them with gray hair. Those of us with gray hair don’t need a lot of talk to explain to the trauma of genocide. We all live in a nation where the Elites openly said that “the cure can not be worse than the disease”, therefore, we must die from the disease to protect the wealth of the elites. Those of us with gray hair are well aware of the trauma of genocide, even the silent genocides that nobody else notices. When the elites of your nation openly say that your live must be sacrificed for their benefit, you know very well the trauma of genocide. Especially when nobody else gives a dang.

America’s Elites are Pro-Death. Its a constant position for them, across the board. After all, the cure can’t be worse than the disease, and the Elites put zero value on our lives.
