A Spectral Analysis of CECOT Imagery
This is highly speculative.
Higher-res versions of these can be obtained here.
This is the result of my processing of the March 20, 2024 satellite imagery. I ran it through QGIS. I used the following table to help me determine which wavelengths I should be looking at. The colorized image is a composite of 930nm (Band 1), 1454nm (Band 4), and 2350nm (Band 6). The black-and-white image is a composite of all 10 shown below.
How can I improve upon this? Comment & let me know.
This isn’t speculation; it’s the geometry of evil. A fractal pattern of totalitarianism.
At Thayer Learning Center, they told us if we were too defiant, we’d be sent to Mexico—“and they never come back.” I was a child, but I knew what they meant. It wasn’t relocation—it was erasure. That threat wasn’t just disciplinary; it was ritual. It made disappearance feel inevitable, deserved, and unspeakable.
Now we have reports that El Salvador’s megaprison, CECOT, never releases prisoners.
Now I hear Trump The Terrible say “the homegrowns are next,” and I see satellite images that look like the afterglow of human disposal.
The phrase returns—not as rumor in a boot camp, but as policy from the state.
From Thayer to Trump, the same logic persists: strip identity, project threat, and make the boundary of the self terminable.
What was once a whisper in a Missouri facility is now a geopolitical structure.
It was never about behavior—it was about manufacturing the myth that some people don’t come back.
Because they were never meant to.
Take a look at the structure just outside the main facility, lower left of the main image. Looks like maybe a water processing setup but seems in a weird location in relation to everything else, more consistent with something more hazardous than just water. I see similar pooling/staining to the main image that's been circulating both in and outside of what I'll call a "water" holding area with what look like prone figures strewn about. Just below that I notice a couple of pits dug in the earth.
