Believe whatever you want. I live here. Two people were murdered by this guy. Burial was today. Could be that he was sent to kill in order to scare all other protesters away, but the killing part was real.

The picture was taken from a video. The reason people stood around like that is because Panama is not the USA and these type of things don't happen here, and when it does it's gang on gang shootings.

I posted about this yesterday, but I can't find them now. Here is what I said:

I want to take a few minutes to talk about this. This happened in my country, Panama. It's going to be a bit long, so I apologize in advance.

The media is saying this is an eco protest. In a way, it is. But that is not the whole reason for the protests. I don't agree with blocking traffic as it affects the people who have nothing to do with this issue, me included.

But what is happening right now in Panama has a deeper side, one that is not talked about in the media. Minera Panama, the mining company who got the contract is a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals, a mining company based in Canada.

During the pandemic, the Panamanian government took massive loans from the world bank. Here is an article published on their website about it. And here is another one about another massive loan.

As you all know, the way the world bank operates is they give these loans to countries, and when the country can't pay them back they have a chat with the president and force them to sell the countries resources to companies they own, according to John Perkins.

This is where the mining contract comes in. Our president signed a 20 year contract that can be extended for another 20 years where they can do all the mining they want in Panama. Also, the president also signed a law that forbids any new mining contracts with any other company, giving exclusive mining rights to First Quantum Minerals.

If you check this website and scroll down to the shareholders list, you will find two well know investment firms among them: Vanguard and Blackrock.

So, some people are protesting against the mining contract because of the environment, but most people don't want this because we are aware that the country resources are being sold cheap to the world bank. If you read some of the signs people carry, you will see things like "Panama is not for sale", and "We will defend our country". I believe that one of the things Q told us is to be patriots. I don't live in the USA, but I'm old enough to know that the world bank and their associates are doing this all over the world, so we all should be patriots and fight against the world bank and the elites from taking over everything.

That is what the protests are mostly about. I can also understand that people would be upset with traffic blockades, it upsets me too. But this guy got off his car, walked up to the protestors and tried to talk them into letting him go through, and he pulled out a gun when they said no. He has double nationality, he has a Panamanian citizenship, and according to it he was born in Colon, Panama.

I have the videos of what happened, but I don't know how to upload them here. The picture where you see the casing flying was taken from a video that was recorded by one of the people who were there that day. I upload them to a temporary host site. This is the one with the angle from the picture. And this is the one where he shots one of the protesters. As you can see, the old man was not in any danger, and nobody was threatening him. One of the people he killed was a teacher. But videos are cut short, sorry. That is the way they were sent to me, and I can't say I know what happened before he fired.

Again, I don't agree with blocking traffic. But I also disagree with somebody pulling out a gun and shooting somebody like this. I hope this old man dies in a prison cell.

You know what I meant, and I why I meant it. Regardless of your background, and everything you know, the salute is associated with nazi germany and modern day neo nazis, People watching it on TV aren't going to pull out their encyclopedias to figure out when this started being used, so just relax.

It would have been awesome if that old guy had given the nazi salute live on television. And I mean awesome in the sense that all these canadian assholes clapping would have been made fools on national television for cheering him.

I am Panamanian. It pisses me off that the government in my country is actually helping these people go through. The police in the Darien gap have been basically told the same as the border patrol in the US: Let them through.

Anybody who enters another country illegally is a criminal and should be prosecuted, and deported. There are legal ways to do it. And these people who make these long journeys are ignorant to the dangers they face, including death. Some have already died in the Darien jungle. Some are raped, some are sold into some sort of slavery, and yet you have the lefty assholes talking constantly about the blacks being sold as slaves a million years ago, and not mention the women who are kidnapped every year and forced into prostitution.

The Panamanian government should put a stop to this crap, instead of feeding them 3 times a day and allowing them to move on.

I have two opinions on this:

  1. Imagine being such a mediocre fighter that you had to pretend to be a woman to beat somebody and win, and you eventually lose to a real woman.
  2. Feel this could have been staged to provide the argument that biological males don't have any advantage against women. I think the swimmer did it and they found out it was staged.

Just a simple test: Put a real woman who has real achievements on the can of any other beer company. See if it loses billions.

I dont think they are fake as they pass the credit score check, though I have to admit, living in a different country I don't really know how the credit system works completely.

My point is, since this administration took office, this thing has increased.

To me it's always amazing to see these types of people talk about white fragility all the while they are in constant need of support groups and safe spaces.

That would be fantastic, but it wouldn't be easy to accomplish. The locks are huge and there are 3 sets of them located along the route, and would require a large amount of people to accomplish, or a large amount of boats to block both sides.

I am from Panama, and no, these people won't walk to your border and enter your country. Down here we love our country and have no real reason for leaving. We use the dollar and even though some things are more expensive now, we have other stuff that is cheap, like renting (you can find a good place to live for $450 a month), electricity (I pay less than $10 a month, while people who use A/C's pay about $100), water (I pay $16 a month), food (we can find restaurants that charge less than $5 for a full meal), etc. So, no, we have no need to move to your country where we would have a really tough time, and life is, for the most part, shit.
