AMLO'S VISION FOR MEXICO
THE BOOK TELLS THE REAL STORY.
" A New Hope for Mexico", AMLO's vision of what is wrong with Mexico and what he believes should take place to change the future of his beloved country, that's his book. Here is something you may or may not realize. When egomaniacs, especially political ones, write books, they often show a side of them they may or may not wish you to know. Once they start rambling on a keyboard, they often get into things some of their, "handlers" don't agree with, but those same people are almost always too afraid to say anything, or just ignored. This seems to be the case with Mr. AMLO, but before I move on, let me ask a question you can come back to at the end of this post. How often has one nation's vision become the obstacle to another's? Is AMLO's "vision" compatible with the US? I've asked this before, but it's probably the most critical question for both nations as they strive to move forward.
AMLO's true feelings about Capitalism and the US:
“We must convince and persuade those who were brainwashed by Trump’s campaign rhetoric… We must reach out to lower- and middle-class American workers, explaining that their problems are rooted in the poor distribution of income… We must raise awareness among Americans of good faith who have been tricked by the propaganda campaign against Mexicans and foreigners….”
Does this sound like the words of someone who is willing to work with the current US administration? When he said, " reach out to lower and middle class "American workers", was he simply addressing Hispanic Americans/ Mexican Americans? Poor distribution of income, what concept of governance do those words come from? It's not a news flash AMLO is a Socialist, but again, the issue of compatible visions comes into play. Can the US work with AMLO? If you hear DC talk, the relationship is just fine. So what if he took a swipe at capitalism and Trump and his "brainwashing". It's all just politics, right? Well, in AMLO's case it is just that, but he also proves, old alliances are a matter of convenience.

AMLO AND SLIM/ BILLY:
Has the richest man in Mexico been involved in the drug world? according to the US Department of Drug Enforcement / DEA/ the answer is yes.

Carlos slim / Billy / and AMLO have worked together for years. Carlos had money and AMLO needed to look good while he was coming up through the system. A relationship of mutual benefit. Not anything new in the world of politics, but then something changed. AMLO Won, finally! It seems now, Slim's programs are not well received by the new Mexican President. We must remember, Slim is one of that evil Capitalists that robs from the poor and gives to the rich and that is unacceptable unless you need his money to move your agenda forward.

The illegal drug market is a 100 BILLION US dollar a year event and that's money that can go into a lot of projects, "visions" if needed. So, for all his talk about the poor and the evils of Capitalism, AMLO exemplifies an old expression; " Deeds before words". He hates the greedy, corrupt rich, but he will use them to get where he is wanting to go. Yep, that's the world of politics, but here is the next question. What else is AMLO willing to do as he attempts to reshape the future of Mexico? Here is just one statement from his book:
“In Mexico, the governing class constitutes a gang of plunderers…the astounding dishonesty of the neoliberal period (from 1983 to the present) is wholly unprecedented.”
The Evil Rich:
The, "Governing class" are plunderers? I guess that includes his onetime friend, Slim. Besides students with brains 1/4 ready for the real world and the poor, Mexico has REAL poor people, not the "poor" some in the US complain about, who is going to get on this radical new train AMLO is engineering? His own economic advisor warns his Boss is not good for future business in Mexico. Where is AMLO going to get all the money his new vision of Mexico is going to cost if he openly states he hates the evil rich Capitalist? 100 BILLION dollar drug industry.........don't forget that point.
“The first thing we must do is to democratize the state and retool it as an engine of political, economic and social growth. We must rid ourselves of the myth that development requires blind acquiescence to market forces… Mexico will not grow strong if our public institutions remain at the service of the wealthy elites.”
Here is another example of my point about people revealing too much. Start a book and the next thing you know, you have painted a picture you cannot avoid. "Wealthy Elites"? That must be an extension of that, "Governing class" he talks about.
Before I wrap this up, let me show you a statement from his book that just floored me.
The abandonment of Mexico's rural areas? He must not be talking about the areas of Mexico where the terrorist cartels rule the land? If anyone has abandoned the people in the "rural areas" of Mexico, it's AMLO. Can you walk into a town dressed like an indigenous person, talk about free medicine and schools while the people are recovering from the nightly cartel's violence. Seeing the nation through the eyes of a dreamer, that's what his book should have been titled.
“The abandonment of our rural areas has taken a heavy toll on production, has increased migration, and fostered societal breakdown and violence.”
AMLO's Train:
The President of Mexico dreams of taking his nation in a new direction. He believes he is laying the tracks for this Mexican Dream Train and he believes he is the engineer as well as the architect. Here is why this will be a very..........very dangerous trip. He has cast aside those that will build the economic bridge that train must cross. I'm not sure the team, that has been cast aside, will want that bridge to hold!
