El Salvador’s President Notices Anti-Mining Protest Efforts Shrink after USAID Funding Cut
Eco-activists protests are nearly non-existent. Meanwhile, Romanians may be getting the president they wanted after their country’s USAID-funded NGOs were gutted.

Maybe we've been paying for a whoooole lottt of astroturf.

The last time we checked on El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, not only had he agreed to take back Salvadoran criminal illegal aliens, but also those from any country…plus violent Americans.

Legal Insurrection readers may recall my previous report on Bukele, which stated that he would open up the country to mining.

According to Bukele, El Salvador may be sitting on unmined gold reserves worth an estimated $3 trillion, approximately 8,800% of the nation’s current GDP. In a series of posts on social media platform X, Bukele projected that the country potentially has “the largest gold deposits per square kilometer in the world.”

But then...

Today, the entire local opposition called for a massive demonstration against mining.

Every political party joined the call, along with 90% of all NGOs, universities, churches, and activist groups. They ran a month-long mainstream media and social media campaign, had the backing of the country’s most powerful news outlets, chose a holiday (Sunday) so no one had to work, organized preparatory events, and more.

This is what they achieved.

It’s clear there is no opposition without USAID money 😂
