MURDERS AND MEXICAN UNIVERSITIES IS THERE A STORY HERE?


Universities, the historical incubator of social discontent and often unrest. That holds true for Mexico as well and that is why this story caught my eye. Guerrero Mexico, the Southwest corner of Mexico. The historical birthplace of the unrest in Mexico. The murder of the tenth member of the faculty of the Autonomous University of Guerrero or their family members in the past year. If that is true, name me another institution of higher learning where ten members of that institution have been murdered in one year? Okay, leave out Syria and Iraq.
If you want to set in motion the potential for unrest, then allow something horrific to take place close enough to young college students that they can see it, talk about it and then have coffee over what it means. If you wish to add additional pressure on the Mexican government, let another story develop about death surrounding the life of those who live on or are associated with the Universities in Mexico. Let this all take place in the region of Mexico where the Universities were designed for the poor, working farm class families where pride runs deep for those who dream of their children having a better shot in life then they did. The memories of the 43 students who were rounded up and never seen again still runs deep in the social conscious of the common, working class Mexican. Yes, an event that could have brought down the Mexican government if it were not for the low expectations of its citizens that the government would ever tell the truth!
Why are these murders taking place at this University?  Is some latest, greatest drug gang behind these killings? Why? Look, the bottom line with any of those groups is this. If you don’t interfere with their ability to make money, then they could care less if you live or die. What is taking place at this university that has them taking such brutal action? Kidnappings for profit? Is that the game? Most likely not. Why kill the Son and the Husband? Is the school leading a social movement against the drug gangs in the area? That’s not out of the question, but nobody is making that claim that I have seen. I’m not going to play Homicide Detective here, but I will address the concern I am sure is, or should be, troubling the Mexican Government.  

REPERCUSSIONS:

Just how much attention do the murders at this University get? Are the leaders in Mexico City working this issue or are they relying on the inept and corrupt government of Guerrero to solve the case?  Basically, how much danger is in if for the government if they don’t solve this case? Trump is coming into Office this week and the issues with that are far more pressing to the leaders in Mexico City than yet another string of murders, even if they do have ties, once again, to a University.  The amount of energy the Mexican government will expend on this case will be directly proportional to the level of pain it may bring to them. I would be willing to bet the folks in Mexico City are spending more time monitoring the Social Media post coming from that campus and who is responding to them, then they are trying to stop what is taking place.
What happens if these murders are never solved? Will the students and faculty just move on?
What happens if the murders continue? That one is easier to answer. The government will have to at least appear to have some interest in the event, much like they did with the disappeared 43. Find a suspect, make a big scene arresting them or him and then declare victory. Remember the murders in Juarez? Over two hundred female victims and public outcry that boiled over into the US and then a Bus Driver was snatched and tagged for the whole show. Problem was, the murders continued!

CONSPIRACY:

Do you want to continue to cause increasing tension in Mexico?
Do you want to continue to destabilize the US’s Southern Border?
Do you want to continue to divide the US population on the issue of border security?
Do you want to force the U.S. to worry about its own backyard and less about other parts of the far away world?
If you desire all of these things, then continue to let Mexico slide into the mud of a collapsing, third world country.
Allow the Universities to become social hotbeds once again.
Allow the working class poor to continue to see Mexico City is indifferent to the rest of the “Fly over country” and watch the enemies of the U.S. leverage this pressure for their own gain.
Something is going on with the Autonomous University of Guerrero and it doesn’t matter if it’s something as simple as out of control drug gangs. The danger is far more serious than that.
