ah hi, i'm ash kaiser. this is the kaiser report. all kinds of neat stuff to get into today, stacy? well, you might notice that we are back in the united states of america where it is a little bit colder than el salvador. everybody in the comments and online and around the world is loving the interview with dr. felix viola, who is the vice president of our salvador. and if you could tell he's like a really thoughtful, compassionate man. and with a very fascinating background and history and story and an understanding of the people and the history of el salvador. so it's been really wonderful to watch that interview with him. i really enjoyed speaking with the vice president. he's got a broad knowledge of things. he's a very educated man cultured man,

off camera. we're talking about paris in europe and things like that, which i thought was fascinating and hope to speak with him again. some time. the thing i wanna bring up about him because he talks about the assassination of his father, which happened in 19801980 was quite a pivotal year in el salvador. it was at the beginning of 1980 when we had the archbishop oscar romero publish a letter in the new york times, pleading with the american people and government to stop funding. the military who were massacring peasants and stuff like that. within 2 months he was assassinated and then followed a year of just all sorts of assassinations, the rape and murder of the nuns and the american nuns by december. so $980.00 was a puzzle year that was also the year in which his father was assassinated. and it made me think of just like the context of today as the u. s. mainstream media

talks about el salvador talks about the president as if there is no history there as if it's just like a die like plucked out of the blue right there and installed today like that there is no context to the history of u. s. involvement. there, of the past, of which we were involved of all the various occupations, and the interference is with various governments for, for the past 5060 years, the american interference in el salvador is particularly stunning and horrific. and i think that the americans would have loved to have just swept that under the rog and forget about it. but 2 things happened. wanna social media, then we had president bill kelly come in, the office is incredibly vibrant and a young and she made big coin legal tender,

which is as some call it even the cover of one of the major periodicals a couple of years ago. they refer to bitcoin as the true for machine. a. sexually bitcoin reveals the truth, even truth that everyone would love to see hidden and forgotten. and so this is an ongoing process and it's going to be true around the world and we see it happening elsewhere in other countries. but this is really stunning. what's going on exactly back to el salvador. i wanted to point out that there was a quote that jack dorsey recently gave from william gibson when he was interviewed by michael sayler. and he's in the quote, is that the future is already here. it's just not evenly distributed yet. and he was talking about our salvador and that the future is here and it's, i'll salvador. and this is one thing that also makes me think of today and the context of our history and our shared history. because all humans, we have

a shared history. but in the united states and el salvador, we have a uniquely some might say, disturbing history, right? but so el salvador had been ron and still to the stay. there's a remnants of it this, the, for the kotor say, alaska torso, the, the 14th families. and in the united states, a lot of our problems also come from a low sto, say, the 12 fed banks. so the 14 families are the 12 bangs they control distribution of wealth. and what happens is that they do it in conspiracy. they form a cartel of 14 families. they form like secret meetings of f o m c meetings to determine and conspire the price of money or how much wealth they're willing to distribute. and what we always then see, especially in the history of latin america, is a redistribution like the people rise up and they want to read distribution. so

what big quinn has offered is a plan b, like we don't need to have these cycles of revolution, civil war, revolution, civil war, consolidation and conspiracy in of power and wealth and things like that. we just can have an open ledger where consensus is to reach not conspiracy and not any sort of violent revolution. right? like i say often the victim bitcoin is on its own vector, right? so that vector is going in a direction that is not obeying the classic 2 party system or the classic cartels. whether it's the 14 families and l. salvatore or the 12 member banks of the central banking system here in the u. s. or any of the other, a cartels and power cartels. it's on its own vector, it's going in its own direction. and it exposes a lot of these cartels. and i think what we're seeing in canada, for example, is the result of these money printing. central banks have destroyed the society

and without bitcoin, it wouldn't be obvious. but when you have something i've been going, it's i suddenly obvious that the abuse has taken placed by the central bank. so when something becomes so obvious like that, the people of will will rise up and we're seeing that in canada. but we've saw this with occupy wall street. we saw this with y'all and france. and these other groups around the world we called the global instruction against banker occupation, and that's just been exacerbated and accelerated with the domination. now our bitcoin right, president mckelly said something once which sticks with me to this day. i say it all the time and i repeat it and he said, where we are going is to the place we want to be. that is what he has set in motion with this bit coin law. we want to be in a place where there is not this pattern of consolidation of wealth and hoarding of

wealth and conspiracy against the people. and then a revolution, a bloody revolution of civil war economic may. hm. what do you call the last 3040 years post civil war and i'll solve it, or what do you call that? when 3000000 salvadorans flee the country, what do you call that? right. well, we want to stop that. so where we are going is to the place we want to be, we set in motion, we can choose a different path and they've chosen a different path. so anybody could follow that model, he, the president of el salvador himself, says that he wants to be like alexandria. this is alexandra. you could do the same thing in america. you don't have to have a dilapidated, you know, disease sort of system falling apart. decay everywhere, you don't need to have it, you can choose to go to a different place. you could choose not to have desa despair. you could choose to distribute the wealth differently and stop the los those say stop the 12 banks like

stop this system that has obviously set in motion a you know, a lot of disintegration of the fabric of society. right? we're all people talk about the client as being on campus gate a ball and censorship resistance. another word that one can use is incorruptible, and big coin is incorruptible. and i think president for cali recognizes that is fantastic to have money as the base layer of your economy, that's incorruptible. and that the vector is going in the direction that he wants to go. and that direction now is attracting the brightest people in el salvador to work with them. you know, having been anal, salvador, this team that surrounds him. the young politicians and advisors, he has are all incredibly smart enthusiastic. they're on board bitcoin and they want to make el salvador time of like the shining city. i'm a hell the beacon of freedom in the world, which is

a place the united states had for a long time. but i think it's decided to just throw the keys to the bankers in the cartels and really turn, turn the, turn their back to this idea of freedom. and so it's an open game. and what i'll salvador saying is like, ok, who's going to be the free country in the world? now it's an open game. let's let, let that be us. los those say is what you were talking about. the cartels. when they throw the keys to the cartel, i'll rap with this and which is i, i tweeted just as we were about to leave el salvador about these us senators who submitted this thing to the committee on foreign relations and they're demanding some sort of report on what our, salvador, a sovereign nation, who is nobody's backyard, you know what they get to do with their country. right? so i said, as u. s. senators threatened el salvador today for daring to take their own decisions on monetary and economic matters. it is worth remembering the past, which is not even past until bitcoin,

and kelly came along. i use an image of st. pasco romero. he's now the sate, acura marrow, and which is a beautiful mural, actually right across the street from where he lived in san salvador. so i went there on the last day before we left and took that photo before we flew out. yeah, it's a remarkable photo to us. a remarkable place. incense on the door because it's the center of a total verb renewal project. a whole new library is going up. that's downtown is vibrant. there's a lot going on. the chiva while it's got a huge dance set up. people are fully bitcoin fluent men. people in the street. i talked to they now because they love big coin. and i think, you know, putting all the hyperbole aside, it just comes down to one simple idea. the big coin is, incorruptible, el salvador is adopting bitcoin. and in the united states is unfortunately become

just a corrupt sus pool. but the pass was not even pass until big queen rex stops destroys all models and cycles said the future is already here now because of big i think that's what i'm saying is like that the past it can be over if you choose to go to a different destination that huh. so that's incredible. i think you're absolutely right. and, you know, let's go to part 2 of the interview with the vice president because here's a man who i could listen to for hours. don't go way much more coming. ah lou. ah, there is extreme nationalism which has been released to the us and they want us dominance. but surely they are sensible voices in the u. s. c,

that's gone. where you're headed. gauntlet gore. war is not the way. there is another way where it could be, would it wouldn't for all of everyone. and i certainly believe that the corporation between china and the united states and he will, for that by to russia, will benefit man guiding much more than a contract. so driven by drink shaped bankers and of those with there's things we dare to ask

the me welcome back to the cause report. i max kaiser time to return to our conversation with the vice president of el salvador doctor. feel like you are dr. felix. you are welcome back. thank you marx, i'm here still here. that is fantastic. i made it. so i didn't read my book yet. and i just said, this is a new handle for many of the new economic scholars. you know, we just have dealers, they haven't changed their minds all day received that they presented, following the bread. good. the bread with the situation, all this concept they are, you know, fell apart. and now we are trying to decide new new ways, the new i this new ideas, not

a villager but ideas. the president has day came very, very, you know, contains, that we are moving in the right way to the official today can be free to present what country as a model of a new way to manage their government with the vision of a leaders from the 21st century, i mean whatever was done in the past, whatever was on in the 20th century that we were probably, you know, i am a baby boomer, he's my landfill. so our gap in the age and again ration means as he used to said, a complimentary view of this project. what we're both baby boomers were aware when i thought he was when we were in the, in the closing, when you remember on the beach that he was kind of, i still, i said, oh, you were born. i was when there was to face the, well, there was don't remember what young don't start in 69, right?

so are you at what stock? oh, well, about the spiritual i was and we took spirit of freedom bright. that was a different kind of freewill at the moment. now i said to him, this is a new version because he's, he's there will still of the 21st century. but anyway, so what was your favorite band? what's that? while there were many groceries in june, garage and young. ok, of course, the performance of joker. joe cocker, your big he died recently. i wasn't surprised. it was in living in colorado. not in england, but anyway. yeah. ok. i actually got back to the pastors. as you mentioned, there is a whole history something to recognize and then maybe move away from so your personal history, your father was or you know, he is a hero of el salvador. can you tell us about that story? oh, well yeah, my father was the president of the national university when the civil war starting

the country. and he was killed by the squad in october and 1880. it was awful junior for $44.00. there was a when was killed. we should romero, my father, that was the blessing of the national university. the leaders of the, the are the rebels are not in them across the front there for religious there might ignore from the right estate. i mean, there was somebody can say already willis, i know. so it means terrible junior, for the last that we have in the be, there is on that time his legacy has been kept by differently the to show why? because at the moment when he was killed, he was the president of the war university service. and actually he was flying to

jean ever. what is the headquarters of this institution? to share the meeting of the word, new york city service board? and i guess he was killed exactly at the moment because the regime, the military dictator or she but the mom and didn't want him to, to, to speak out in a forum like this while. i mean, then a junior, i was, you know, the many institution does have they have the waters over there. and my father is the one that we're going to see if the series was ready to receive. all the denounces. and my father was, you know, collecting for the invasion to the national us to do campus. they meet when they, to go over all day the schools, the law school, the school, all the school diminishing the school. and in addition to the lou turning of the do, the goes that we've been, they burned books of the library,

so that was already well for us. and now, recently, part of the media in the opposition here in el salvador, accused max's stacey of being economic hitman. and what you've just described was an example. your father was the victim of actual economic man. this is exactly what john perkins talks about in his book, confessions of any economic hit man. so. 2 it's ironic, it's also sad that there are still people in this country that don't understand that big coin is offering a path to freedom. what. what is their problem to kind of problem the 1st, the 1st of all is they understand is movement to they cannot understand it because they get hook in the bus. and the 2nd is because they fear they fear the economic interest could be challenge because they are used to be comfortable in this school . so when you move this article, when you try to move forward, when you try to move in the right way to attend the interest of the

population or the people at large, then you threat or you will be become a for this small groups, the elite overall economic elite does they hold the power? so we need to be aware that this is a b, b challenge. and you are, you know, leaving these women. why? because we have read your voice. you know, these moves, i promise, i will read it. but the, we are, what about all juice, the coach that you has shown over there's years when you start dealing and challenge all this stuff. i know one story that i've discovered is completely false and that is that the country is mired in violence here. and that's completely false . we came here and walking around san salvador and it reminds me of beverly hills or santa monica, california. it's a lovely city. there's vibrancy, there's restaurants, are open the people around the street looking great. so that was

a perception that's completely false. so far is completely full false because from the day one on june, the 1st 2019, the president bill kelly put on place there brown, which is called control territory on which i mean tried to control or recovering the control of the territory. that wasn't the hands of the guns, that's why the sub that was present and all the time as one of the 3 tops violent countries in that war. because that because they did the guns, they took over kind of a 3rd of the national territory. even though it is, are not a movement in the civil war, couldn't good the control does. now i live out of something similar in new york city, and then i was, it was a violent crime of 3000 murders a year. it was then decided to, they had a policy called broken windows, or everything was basically clamped down and no graffiti,

etc. so this is what governments have to do occasionally to contend with, with violence and being i believe the numbers are pretty fantastic in terms of the reduction of the. and this is one of the humans of these government in lead to use their book, a less blood. i'm going to get down actually allow the rate of the homicide. we have days and weeks with seattle homicide. i mean, this is a be a schuman while i was chicago could be so lucky, not only to send you to chicago, to reduce their violence out of control. we are more than willing to share what expediency by the way. we have been called for different neighbor countries to show our expertise, to our experience. and the president told me, in one case, i can't say we're going to do this because i'm not allowed to reveal the name of

the country, but the president allow me to go there and share i was, i was experiencing in control in the violence, in the one area in the rural areas, i mean all the wars there that the gangs, i believe, i mean all these crimes being committed by the bangs. so i think that is, is something that presents what country wouldn't one of the most safe country in the region. not only on do, let's say in public security, but safe also in the legal system. because it is obviously the for the investors. they want to know which country they're going to who is going to be moving their us it talk about investors for a 2nd. so there's a whole new draft of new laws are being introduced to deliver sweeping changes to the economic infrastructure. you are a lawyer, law is your background. what can you tell us about that? what kind of cities we have a comedian, a strong commitment with the president to strength. their rule of law work through

law for us means, you know, not only the separation of powers, but also implementing, below the side needs to warranty. do economic development. ok? human rights volcano, bonds. it's a new asset class. it's a new security. and along with those volcano bonds which my understanding is that they're going to come along around march 15th between march 20th. that there's also a sweeping agenda of dozens of new law security laws and re almost redoing the entire security law infrastructure to accommodate bitcoin. is that, is that a fair statement? first of all, what, what does that mean? that means the scaffolding, legal is scaffolding. now we really know we replace the old one. no, that was based on corruption. and you know, bribing. i mean, the, all the laws were prepaid, even for a bay doors, people that

a one day they like to pay taxes. i mean, those are the guys who build that legal system. and we are now trying to build a new one based on this 1st given absolutely, security to the investors. basically the private sector, the needs clean the rules in transparency and also not only for them but also preparing very fair taxation system. because this is something that you could be surprised in our fight, a hands corruption. we have the last for president over the last for fraud is, was i in a try and in a he was. so what by corrosion saga, he's in prison and he was condemned furnace and i just said in they are any good because they came to the justice. so the corrosion was

a big deal. but the 4 of them altogether the amount they are accusing. the interview knows is roughly 1000000000 dollar 1000000 dollar the them. but the bay doors, the people who they refuse to pay taxes. they buy 2000000002000000000, but here rather the present was in 20 years. $1000000.00 every year, the government had the last 2 millions for ebay, those. so we are, this is also that we are dealing with with a new legislation. we try to build a more clear. they are saying the real criminals are the bankers, the bankers borrow it, because the system are, you know, big business international companies. they prefer to break out the same problem in the united states. it's in all those current i think after the durham

report and the united states will probably be surpassing you in terms of politicians in jail. well, this is, i'm up one day. i mean we will change the culture because it is a culture. i mean, we have to deal with did you know that this but i'm interest that's made for the jews that the mothers are well this guy he was for when he was living in a very poor neighborhood. but he became a p or he came politician. he had a leg and he lives in a very fancy major or a fancy houser. so the more that we have to, to deal with because his cultural problems out there with you and from mom boomer to another. thank you so much for being on cause report. thank you. my pleasure. and you know, my, my, with ours and my going to send all my, with all my her for your audience. and for the people are supporting this roy. and

we promise that we will never fail. we will move forward. and with the little show of the present. wish we'll see it. awesome. all right, back i do for this edition of the kaiser report with may max kaiser and stacy herbert once again, a very special thank you to our vice president of el salvador. dr. feel like you oh thank you. thank you. don't. next time i off with ah, is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safer? isolation community, are you going the right way or are you being led somewhere?

direct. what is true? what is great? in the world corrupted, you need to descend a join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmon. sure. i'll be speaking to guess on the world politics sport, business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just knew that everything would be fine. for some reason, we were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back. how could he not come back because the mere thought of it never crossed her

mind. the militants decided to try and break through. i heard you guinea ab screaming grenade. 6 google, who and explosion below him will run his bag, the reward, and it was all over the ocean. we know that our comrades and our commander will leave us here. no matter how tough it gets, where team they're valuable. if jenny was a senior in his military trio video, he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more, if his comrades would die, he gave his own life to save his friends. ah

ah, russian lawmakers approved the deployments of troops abroad on the president's request for vladimir putin says he has no immediate plans to use that authorization in the newly recognized dom bus republics. this combs, after president putin recognized the independence of the done yet allude guns, republics, pledge in to ensure peace in the region. if i'm certain we haven't been abandoned and that we have a future, we greeted the knees with tears and we are happy. at least there will now be order . the bombings will stop and people will be able to lead normal lives was told, it's better to put on a bullet proof vest before stop working while we are now waiting for the red cross .
