Is Mexico About to Collapse?

The movie is just starting.. nowhere near a climax.

We still have gingos sitting on the beach working on suntans and drinking pina coladas. We haven’t even heard the first Travel advisory issued yet.
The mercenaries are still hanging out in training camps playing cards and sharpening knives.

This is about the point in the movie where the dog senses something is not right.

 

It wasn't bad 4-5 years ago, but the presence was there....and you could feel it. The US has camps and facilities near the oil-rich regions of the south-east(around palenque), near Guatemala...ive seen them, driving by in a bus, wondering WTF?...

anyway, for us(or is it US?) Mexico is our little mexican cousin who has oil, and even though we're not stealing it outright at the moment, we are keeping the option open at the security of having the option 'open', and im sure Mexican authorities know this, for they will be on planes to Hawaii if any real shit goes down... but I just hope that the resourcefulness of the Mexican peoples(which they have MUCH of) will keep them safe, when and if things do hit the fan...
I love that country, and if I had the opportunity again, I'd probably return for a long stay...at least through 2012, eh?

 

excellent read..

THE COMING CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

 

Yes, If mexico takes one more hit it will collapse like a giant piñata under the
weight of its own papier-mâché economy

A good read, it was written in 2006 I think the drop in oil prices is going to make the finical scenario worse then they predicted in the article.

"The Zapatista National Liberation Army(EZLN) proposes to right the wrongs of some 500 years, but there is in fact a
strong influence of support from other socialist and communist countries, suchas Cuba and now Venezuela."

We will hear more about these guys when things fall apart..
They are run by the same people that set up the Sandinistas

Sandinistas- named after indigenous hero, supported and trained by communist countries
Zapatista- named after indigenous hero, supported and trained by communist countries

They are masters of revolutions and government collapses. When the Sandinistas came to Nicaragua they were just a dozen or so mercenaries and when the conditions were right they overthrew the entire government.


"In Mexico, 2% of the population owns 98% of the wealth. Over 40% are
living below the poverty line. The middle class has been squeezed out in thelast thirty years. International interests and American franchise points of salesare replacing local merchants and craftsman. Every socialist who wants to disturb a failed system looks for a missing middle class because it makes it easier to pit the masses against a small group of elite."
____________________________

That’s the main ingredient of all revolutions a dissatisfied lower class, the more the economy drops the more dissatisfied the low class becomes.

When the condition get to the right point that’s when the mercenaries start pouring in and working their dark magic.


"The entire area would be sealed so that traffic of any kind
would be highly restricted and monitored. Martial law would be in place with open “shoot-to-kill” orders. At the “old” border, anyone attempting to cross illegally would be shot. The border would be surveilled by the same flying drones now used over Afghanistan and Iraq. They would also be armed with Hellfire missiles. In addition,particularly well-known pathways would be mined and re-mined weekly."

I think if Mexico collapses the U.S. Mexico boarder would turn into a typical war boarder full of landmines and gun toting solders.

I think landmines are the worst because they never fully get cleaned up.

vv, A blurb from the daily news.

If Violence Escalates in Mexico, Texas Officials Plan to Be Ready

"Worst-case scenario, Mexico becomes the Western hemisphere's equivalent of Somalia, with mass violence, mass chaos," said Ted Galen Carpenter, vice president for defense and foreign policy at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based think tank. "That would clearly require a military response from the United States."

yeah,i realize it was done in 2006,i still thought it was very well done and filled with useful insight..

 

The problem I see with a Mexican revolution(which is surely needed)is that the US would back the 2% that own everything that is worth owning ,like we always have ,such as Marcos,Duvalier,the shah in Iran,Chile,etc,etc.We seem to be heading in the same direction as Mexico with the purposefull shrinking of the middle class and the continual shifting of capital upwards into the hands of "those who rule",with the help of certain parties for whom oversight and/or regulation of business and the distribution of capital to the middle class is anathema."They"want it all and they have infinite patience to bring this about.Our politicians are complicit fascillatators and they are doing "Their" bidding well.Yup---the shit's coming down hard.

 

well it`s about time. it`s alot more important than messing around in the middle east.
