THE CONTINUED VIGILANTE STATE OF MEXICO.

            It was 10:00pm in Bastrop Texas, pick any spot in the US, when the “Defend Our Ground”, DOG’s for short, stormed the police station during shift change. In a matter of minutes, the Bastrop Police Department had two shifts of Officers detained without resisting. The DOG’s numbered well over 400 at the time of the incident and their demands were quickly relayed to the state. They had grown tired of the ongoing drug trafficking and violence in their city and their perception was the leadership of the city, to include the Police Department and the county Sheriff were complacent with the crimes that were continuing to take place.

            By 2:00am, over 1000 members of the DOGs had arrived in the city of Bastrop and began to go door to door looking for those they knew were involved in the crimes that had been taking place in the area. People in the city, ether welcomed the DOGs or they simply did what they had been doing for years, they stayed inside. The state’s response team of negotiators, trained to deal with many of the Local Defense Units, insert  Autodefensas here,  arrived at 6:00am and began to negotiate with the DOGs for their departure. After a few hours, a temporary agreement was reached and the DOG’s left the city of Bastrop. Their social media announcement stated they would allow the state to address the issues of the city, but they would return if they felt the situation was not getting better.

            The Bastrop Incident was the fifth in the past 30 days for the state, but that still put them well behind four other states suffering from the same type of incidents. How the government regains the trust of the people has become the most complex crisis the nation has faced since the Civil War.

            If you know Texas and you know where Bastrop is, you may think this sounds outrageous. You can sit there and tell yourself, “that could never happen here”. Well, I have bad news for you. It doesn’t have to happen here. It happens every day of the week in Mexico. Imagine your Police Department being taken over by what the people in the US still call,  Vigilantes, but many in Mexico now call necessary. Imagine these groups being so well organized and supported they hold recruiting events in your town, city? Imagine the power of Social Media in the hands of those who no longer have any trust in the government? Yes, I am talking about Mexico and not the US, but let me take you back to a statement I’ve been making for years now. Where is Mexico? If Mexico falls into a true collapsed nation-state, what are the repercussions for the US?  What if the enemies of the US see the opportunity to weaponize what is taking place in Mexico? How long can this go on before something truly falls apart? The elites in Mexico City look on from their guarded estates as the Northern and Western frontiers of Mexico continue to burn. Can one “feel good” Socialist President suddenly come into power and change what is taking place? Or……could he decide to embrace it? When Muammar Gathafi realized he could not stop the social decay inside of Libya, he did the next best thing, he joined, or at least he tried to.

UPOEG:

            Union of Peoples and Organizatoins of Guerrero State. If you live inside of Mexico City, this is a group of malcontents, riffraff simply not understanding their place in Mexican society. If you live in Guerrero or several other states in Mexico and you have lived under the corruption of violence that has been Mexico’s drug world for decades now, what is the UPOEG?

in the beginning, there was the generic, “Autodefensas” and the good Doctor Mireles of Michoacan. Soon, other groups began to pop up. Some were legitimate attempts to keep the people safe, but others were designed by both the government and the drug gangs, often together, to discredit what was taking place. The idea of destroying the hope of a social uprising to defend the people was the goal. Through all of this, one fact stands clear. The Mexican people continue to make every attempt to find the one thing they truly desire. Peace. The ability to go to bed at night and know the Police Department is truly there to protect you and not drug shipments. The dream that your government is actually trying to rid your committee of the violence that has ruled your whole life. Folks, I’ve talked about this “movement” in Mexico for over 10 years now and there is one reason why. If Mexico falls apart, the stability of the US will become an issue. Even worse, if the US’s enemies find a way to weaponize Mexico, the US will have to pull it’s attention away from the Middle East or the Pacific or even Europe. Mexico is not just a trading partner for the US. Mexico is a Neighbor and it’s a neighborhood that is burning. Does the US just stay inside the safety of it’s border and watch the fire spread?

THE US DEMOCRATIC PARTY COMES BACK IN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE. NOW WHAT?

            I’ve not posted anything about the November elections in the US and the impact it might have on the rest of the world for one simple reason, I wasn’t convinced anyone cared. The “Get Trump” movement in the US is about to clash with the “We are sick of it” movement, the same movement that put Trump in the White House. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are back in positions of influence and power? The same old worn out team of “Insiders” who have a common goal….get rid of the guy who is not supposed to be there and if that means burning down everything around him, then so be it. Schumer and Pelosi going head to head in a “heated” discussion with the President. How did that play to the rest of the world? How did that play to our enemies? Does anyone really care? I do…..I have two Sons who will live in this world, God willing for years to come…..so yes…..  I care!

Let’s take a look:

            So the incoming House wants to change things? The reality is, they don’t care if they change anything. What they care about is 2020 and gaining more power. Their enemies, still hold the Senate and the White House, but the priority of effort will be to change that. What they actually accomplish is not important and they had some grand ideas….. repeal the tax cuts….outrageous that Trump took money away from the government…who knows better what the people need than an all inclusive government. End our relationship with Saudi. Who needs them. We can’t trust them anyway right? Let’s just drive them into the laps of the Russians or worse, the Chinese. I know, lets influence, alter, who their next King is because an old worn out spy was murdered. Talk about influencing the future governments of a nation, but that’s okay when it’s for a cause you support right?  Stop all this talk of a wall. How can one party stay in power if the future voting demographics of the nation are not dependent upon the central government? Get them in here, get them dependent on the government and then continue to scare the hell out of them the “other side” is out to take away their government programs. It’s been the Battle Plan for the African American population for over 100 yrs. Last but not least……Russia. Why Russia is responsible for everything and anything that political leaders might be held accountable for in the US. The Democrats lost the election in 2016 because of the Russians. It couldn’t be because the people of the nation grew tired of eight years of socialistic dreaming? That’s it. Keep blaming Putin for everything. Keep pushing the Russians into a corner. Stop trying to find a way to work with them. Stop trying to make them realize, the Dragon is coming for both the them and the US and see where that takes you. Oh ya…..when you get rid of Trump, stop all this crazy Trade War talk. We all know the Chinese have our best interest at heart. Do what every political leader for the past thirty years has done. Kick that Dragon can down the road for someone else to worry about. Last but not least. Israel. That nation needs to learn to share and this new Congress will push to force that event to happen, but they will need to win in 2020 first.

Power:

            Power. This is all about power and control. Trump showed up and he took power. Not only did he take power, but he took it away from those who feel entitled to it. DC runs the US not those silly people out there who think they can care for themselves. The large cities in the US, that is what is important, that is where the greatest concentration of dependents reside. Oh by the way, if this thing called the Electoral College continues to be a problem, then one party in the US will find a way to end the process or change it. After all, to them, the US Constitution is a “living document” and is subject to change and interpretation for the “good of the people”.

Salvation:

            If the US’s enemies don’t make their move first, something I think is already underway, then  the only thing that may save this nation from ripping itself apart is an Article V Convention based on Term Limits. I’ve spoke on this issue before, but the time for being proactive to save the US is growing shorter by the day. Power corrupts and so the key is, no one stays in power for enough time to spread their corruption. If Trump is dragged into a courtroom for something that nearly every other President has done for over 100 years, then the US and the Western economy will be in real trouble. Trouble socially, financially and security wise. Yes, the US is, or was, based on the balance of law, but when a growing percentage of the population no longer believes in the agencies that create and execute those laws, people from all sides of the economic and demographic spectrum, then any nation would be seen as in danger. Burn down the house to get the Frankenstein Monster the “Beltway Bandits” see as Trump and be prepared. Those that foam at the mouth when they hear Trumps name and those that foam at the mouth at the notion of him being “framed” are going to collide. Trump needs one battle cry and he needs it right now. Term Limits! Everyone goes home after 8 years and those that appose this logic are the ones that love power and the goodies that flow their way more than they love their nation itself. Eight years, no retirement, no special medical coverage, a provided staff and living quarters. Go serve and go home. Well, I’m done with insanity that is taking place in the US. I will not go back to writing about what I truly have an interest in. What is taking place in the world and how might it lead to instability? That is what I will concentrate on now. What takes place in the US over the next year is important, but right now, it’s the same old broken record. Pelosi and Schumer….. Are you kidding me?
