Civil War in Mexico Intensifies

Notice how oil exports from Mexico have been reduced due to 'bad weather' a lot lately? Have you checked to see what the weather actually has been?

Following the stolen elections in Mexico, a civil war has been going on and not reported in western media. Not surprising since the US 'aided' Mexico with their elections, even sending them electronic voting machines. Got the picture?

Now it's time for the Calderon government that benefited from US assistance to pay up.

The Mexican national oil company Pemex has been prevented by the Constitution from allowing foreign oil companies to gain control and take the profits from the Mexican people. That is all about to change, as the right-wing government attempts to sell Pemex to US interests. Populist legislators have taken over Congress and set up barricades to prevent this vote from taking place.

Now, the right-wing legislators are setting up elswhere to vote it through anyway.

Violence has escalated. The US state department has issued a 'Travel Alert' for Mexico, blaming it on 'Drug wars'. Yea right! Drug cartels may be funding the Revolution, but the Revolution is populist in nature, driven by hunger and in response to abuses by the Calderon government and military.

Expect continued 'bad weather' to plague the Mexican oil industry as well as 'accidental' pipeline leaks and explosions.

"Recent Mexican army and police force conflicts with heavily-armed narcotics cartels have escalated to levels equivalent to military small-unit combat and have included use of machine guns and fragmentation grenades," the alert said.

"Criminals are armed with a wide array of sophisticated weapons. In some cases, assailants have worn full or partial police or military uniforms and have used vehicles that resemble police vehicles," the State Department added.

The message on the signs in Nuevo Laredo reads (translated from Spanish): Grupo operative Los Zeta wants you soldier or ex-soldier. We are offering you a good salary, food and help for your family. Do not suffer mistreatment or hunger any longer. We won't give you sopas Maruchan (instant ramen noodles) to eat."

Last year, legislative records show, the Mexican Congress was told by a high-ranking Army official that more than 17,000 soldiers had deserted.

Los Zetas were originally ex-Army special forces trained in locating and apprehending drug cartel members. The founding 31 members of Los Zetas were trained in small-group tactics, mission planning, aerial assaults and sophisticated communications methods at army bases throughout the world. Though it is widely rumored that these soldiers were originally trained at the military School of the Americas in the United States, no such evidence to support such a claim has been discovered[4]. It is believed by Mexican Law Enforcement that the original members are rogue GAFE (Airborne Special Forces Groups) soldiers. Zeta training locations have been identified as containing the same items and setup as GAFE training facilities, it is also further believed the group employs the same internal organizational structure.

And you wonder why you've swarms of Mexicans at your border.

Stop messing about with their internal politics and you may well find that they stay home.

If the Mexican drug cartels are siding against Calderon this could get extremely messy. The resources those cartels have at their disposal is quite something from what I hear.

It does seem like a convienient excuse that the "weather" always is to blame for certain issues like retail sales, Mexico Oil Exports, etc. You have to wonder sometimes what is really going on? Yes, the introduction of the Amero seems more and more likely with the dollar falling off of a cliff now. The sheeple will gladly accept the new currency once they realize it is the only way to buy food since the U.S dollar would be worthless in that instance. Confused

In a nutshell, whats your gripe with the American Union. I mean, all these obtuse postings don't really inform those of us from shores beyond the US.

Is it a bad version of the EU? (thats assuming that the EU has redeeming features).

You know all those right-wing Latin American dictatorships of the past with a kleptocratic plutocracy served by a dirt poor starving populace with absolutely no rights or social mobility?

That's the model envisioned on a continental scale by the architects of the North American Union. Appears that model won't work even on a scale the size of Mexico.

Mexico's problems...the first few off the top of my head:

- remittances from the US crashing
- los inmigrantes going back to mexico
- oil production crashing
- sabotage of oil infrastructure
- full on drug war along the border
- tortilla prices through the ceiling, civil unrest
- centuries of corruption and torture of their own people
- hopelessly overpopulated
- with a cherry on top

The implosion of Mexico is in written in the cards, and has been predicted in PO circles for a long time now (with or without US intervention).

Cid_Yama

The US has been dealt similar cards. Here's some good examples:

You know all that left -wing Latin American dictatorship of the present served by a dirt poor starving populace with absolutely no rights or social mobility has really had a hard time too. Those folks fleeing from Cuba all those years were not doing it for that great swim they had to make.
