If by "crush the insurgency" you mean commit mountains of crimes against Indigenous peoples then sure. He really didn't have any other strategy

In light of Peru's election, let me explain the significance of Fujimorismo, as someone who lived in Peru for years and had a family and business in Peru 🇵🇪

Here's the basics 👇

Peru in 1989 was a disaster.

Hyperinflation, economic collapse (no oil, plus brutal Shining Path guerrillas) 💀

Statist policies had wrecked the country.

The Leader of Peru, Alberto Fujimori, crushed the insurgency, stabilized security, ditched failed socialism for market reforms/privatizations, and kicked off Peru’s boom 💰

Fujimori also did direct aid/patronage for the rural poor (food, appliances). Effective in a corrupt system, aka old-school vote buying.

Poverty plunged, Lima became a regional hotspot. Many voters say: “Change started in 1990.”

BUT he was authoritarian (dissolved Congress, controlled courts), authorized killings, embezzled millions, and ran forced sterilizations.

He was a dictator who did a lot of bad things but helped stabilize the country 💯

The man ultimately was sent to prison afterwards and died after being released

Now we have his daughter, Keiko

Her party dominated Congress. Supporters saw her as continuing dad’s legacy of results over purity.

Opponents of her would say: “Never again.”

She ran for and lost the Presidential election 3 times in Peru with 48 to 49% of the vote

Given how unstable Peruvian politics is, some of those who beat her in past elections were ousted from power not long after

Now Keiko took her 4th shot at running for the Presidency 🔥

It's a tight election. 50-50, with most analysts predicting she'll win narrowly due to the votes from Peruvians living abroad

There's of course way more that could be said but those are the basics

If she really does win, it'll be a continuation of a trend we're currently seeing: Latin America leaning Right for the moment 🌎

Do we? I figure if you draft Stenberg and let players develop you have a great top 6 in Celebrini, Misa, Stenberg, Smith, Chernyshov, and Graf/Eklund (One is tradable for a defensemen along with the Oilers pick and prospects Musty/Bystedt)

[Locked on Sharks @LockedOnSharks]

The #SJSharks need another scoring winger in their top six. Could they look to free agency to fill it?
🦈 Tuch is the best forward option and the most costly
🦈 Buying the Mantha resurgence?
🦈 Laine a buy-low candidate?

Rahile is an anthropologist who spent much of her life studying a remote Uyghur shrine called Ordam Mazar. Practically simultaneously with when she was abducted and disappeared from the airport, the Chinese government sent a squad of bulldozers tens of miles into the desert to completely raze the shrine and its associated village.

Ever since I saw this timing on satellite imagery, it has always struck me as one of the clearest examples of the pure vindictiveness and horror of Beijing's anti-Uyghur crackdown that saw any regular expression of faith, history or culture systematically removed and the detention of upwards of a million individuals.

"La gente debería tener limitada el agua a 50 o 100 litros de agua, no deberían poder lavar su coche ni llenar una piscina, hay que empezar a pensar en el agua como recurso".

Este es Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, nuevo presidente del Fondo Monetario Internacional, quién fue director ejecutivo del Grupo Nestlé y afirmó que el agua no es un derecho humano, sino un recurso con el que especular.

"El agua como un producto alimenticio como cualquier otro, debería tener un valor comercial. Declarar el agua como derecho humano universal es algo extremista".

Este capitalista sin escrúpulos que quiere limitar el uso del agua para la población es una de las 300 personas más ricas de Suiza, con una fortuna superior a 450 millones de francos suizos... pero te dice que la gente debería poder lavar el coche mientras él cena en un jacuzzi con champagne.

"We should continue to stick our head into the lions mouth, maybe we can reason with it" Conservatives are a special type of stupid. Canada is not the one tanking CUSMA talks, it's America

[Kelly DeRidder, MP @KellyDeRidderMP]

Canada should be focused on protecting and strengthening CUSMA, not making decisions that put it at risk.

Importing 49,000 EVs from China while the U.S. bans them over security concerns doesn’t just raise serious questions, it puts our auto sector and our trade relationship in a tough spot.

Hockey is inaccessible to many:

- Playing it is ridiculously expensive

- Games are blacked out everywhere due to tv contracts

-The sport as a whole suffers from systemic abuses all resulting from players being taught they're above the law.
