NIETO AND MEXICO’S TRUE FEAR

From time to time, I break my rhythm of topics and go back to one some of you know I have followed for years. Mexico. Why? Because Mexico matters. Mexico is the anchor of keeping order in Central and South America. Mexico is a key component that holds the fate of the US’s internal security. Like it or not, that statement is true. So, here we go. Here is a post about something that is important to those who rely on the US and those who would like to see the US fall.
Nieto. He’s been a disaster for the Mexican people. His College, Rich Boy looks and his inept ability to understand what dangers face Mexico have proven to be a cocktail blended for failure. Did I mention he is corrupt? Sorry! I forgot that part. Those that have followed my post for the past few years know I’ve been speaking to the issue of social stress in Mexico for some time now. Yes, most political systems are corrupt, but the process in Mexico is far above the norm and has been for over a hundred years. So, what caught my eye? What made me give this Mexico update today? Well, let’s talk about it.

The Real Threat:

Again, for those that know me or have followed these post, you know where I am going with this section. What is the real threat to the current political system in Mexico? Drugs? Nope! Frustration of the working class? Yep! The continued decay of the very social fiber that holds 90% of the geographical landmass of Mexico together? Yep! What really worries the Mexican political system? Change. That is what worries them. Once again, we need to face the reality of the current Mexico. The primary source of income is the illegal drug industry. Yes, Mexico has oil and yes Mexico has their tourism, for now, but the money that makes the political system in Mexico work comes from the drug world and anyone who has every worked with the issue of Mexico knows this to be true. The rich of Mexico City, who are not tied to the drug world, are just as dependent on the actions that take place in Mexico because of those who conduct the drug business. It’s ok for “Elites” of Mexico City to watch the violence 400 miles away as long as it’s not taking place in their gated, guarded, neighborhood. As the rest of the nation continues to fall apart, those who live inside the walls of armed guards simply have plans to move their money and move their families. Harsh words I know, but the true is often the most painful words spoken. The threat to Nieto, and those like him, does not rest with drug violence. The treat resides with a civilian population that no longer trust or believes in their government. The real threat comes from civilians who are encouraged to seek the truth. Those that push this message of seeking the truth, they are the real threat to Mexico’s Political System.

131:

From the very beginning of Nieto’s climb to power, he had no idea what was going on in Mexico. His ties to the Sinaloa Cartel did not translate into his understand of the real Mexico. When he made his blunder over the “131” issue, it was clear to me he was simply a figurehead that was going to be placed in the chair. The Mass murder of the students was yet another example of Nieto’s disastrous impact on the Mexican People. Those that pulled the strings tied to his arms and mouth gave him a very clear message. “We cannot afford to have these events looked into”. Convincing the people that something was being done, someone was going to be found responsible, that was the game; not solving the problems that were tearing the nation apart. Make it look like they cared and then move on. I remember the day I heard the United Nation’s Human Rights Group may be coming to Mexico. Some of us knew what alarm bells that was going to set off in Mexico City! With that statement came international reporters and freelance journalist. The stories some of the Mexican Journalist had been reporting on for years would be brought back to life. All of this meant one thing for Mexico’s Political System, danger! By the way, the Pri and the Pan…..two feathers off of the same bird…..a bird that lives in the cage of the Drug Master. It was clear then and its clear now, truth is the danger. Reporters trying to make a name for themselves and advocates who believed Mexico needed to change. Those were and are the real enemies. Those are the ones that posed and pose the real danger.

The Greatest Danger:

What keeps the current Mexican Political System up at night? What is the end state of this hysterical fear of reporters and Rights Groups? Could someone be using these groups to destabilize Mexico? Yes. Could the enemies of the US formulate a plan to leverage what is taking place in Mexico? Yes. Could this lead to a more destabilized US? Yes. Would the US be willing to support the any action that might keep Mexico “stable”, as “stable” as Mexico can be? Yes.  Is there a tipping point? Is there a scenario that might drive Mexico over the edge, turn Mexico into a real, unavoidable crisis; a crisis for the US? Yes! What is that “tipping point”? Synergy! Yes, Synergy! Again, those that know me, know my theory behind the Autodefensas movement. You know my opinion of Doctor Mireles, no Saint himself, and what he might bring to the outlands of Mexico. A few years ago, when I was knee deep in following the Good Doctor, I made a statement. Let the Autodefensas movement somehow link with the Student movements in Mexico and the real makings of a revolution would be underway. The ingredients for the Mexican version of the Arab Spring were there and they were close to each other. Someone just need to make the meeting take place. No one understood this more than the leadership of Mexico. No one was tracking what was taking place with both movements more than Mexico City.  How close was this synergy from taking place? When the massacre of the Students took place, Mireles spoke of the event. He had to go! Synergy was becoming more and more probable. The next thing you know, the good Doctor was in prison. Who knew who was talking to whom? Who was planning what? What was going on with these movements? What outside groups were medaling in Mexico’s affairs? Does anyone really think that Nieto would not have approved the use of software to get answers? The whole world was and is doing it. What the heck. Why not Mexico?
Mexico remains in real trouble. Mexico can undermine the security of Central and North America. Those that desire to see the US and the West come under further pressure know this. The weak link in fortress America is the best place to formulate an attack.  How could the US possibly worry about the Pacific or the Middle East or even Eastern Europe if its own Southern Border was touching a failed Nation State? Can the current Mexican government prevent the collapse of the Mexican People’s trust? Is there any really left? Can the US afford to have a corrupt, incompetent government in Mexico? Just how important is Mexico to the US? Ask the Iranians. Ask the Russians. Ask the Chinese! This story matters. Mexico matters to the Western World.
