The Situation in Mexico

What if that is the Chinese strategy to bring down the American empire? To render the young American population completely useless and idiotic?

Mexico turns to China for assistance​


Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has called on Chinese leader Xi Jinping to help crack down on fentanyl trafficking amid “deceitful and irresponsible” claims by US officials that Mexico is to blame for Washington’s drug crisis.

“Unjustly, they are blaming us for problems that in large measure have to do with their loss of values, their welfare crisis,” Lopez Obrador wrote to Xi in a March 22 letter that he revealed to reporters on Tuesday. “These positions are in themselves a lack of respect and a threat to our sovereignty, and moreover they are based on an absurd, manipulative, propagandistic and demagogic attitude.”

Lopez Obrador went on to ask Xi for help not with “these rude threats, but to ask you for humanitarian reasons to help us by controlling the shipments of fentanyl that may be sent from China to our country.” He added that by providing information on fentanyl cargoes, including their expected locations and arrival times, China’s government could help Mexican authorities gain “greater control” over the shipments.

Mexican drug labs reportedly press fentanyl ingredients shipped from overseas, especially China, into pills that are made to resemble regular pharmaceuticals. Republican lawmakers in Washington have blamed the US-Mexico border crisis for a flood of fentanyl shipments into the country, which has caused around 70,000 deaths annually from synthetic opioid overdoses.

However, Lopez Obrador said in his letter to Xi that social decay was driving US demand for fentanyl. “I would tell them, for example, to keep their children at home longer. Don’t kick them out of the house. Keep them for two or three years more,” he advised.

He added that only about 30% of the illegal fentanyl consumed in the US is smuggled across the US-Mexico border. “Nevertheless, in a deceitful and irresponsible way, some US lawmakers have recently blamed Mexico for the misfortune they suffer in their country due to the use of fentanyl,” he said.

Beijing banned fentanyl exports in 2019, a move hailed by then-US president Donald Trump as a potential “game changer,” but Chinese suppliers have allegedly shipped fentanyl precursor drugs to Mexican cartels. Chinese officials have rejected the US allegations that the cartels are making fentanyl pills with ingredients supplied by China as “utterly false.”


The enemy is at home

 
Lopez Obrador went on to ask Xi for help not with “these rude threats, but to ask you for humanitarian reasons to help us by controlling the shipments of fentanyl that may be sent from China to our country.”

China denies AMLO? No illegal fentanyl trafficking with Mexico'.

China denied Thursday that there is illegal fentanyl trafficking with Mexico, remarking that there is a "fluid channel" in its fight against trade in banned substances.

"There is no illegal fentanyl trafficking between China and Mexico. The competent authorities of the two countries maintain good communication," said Mao Ning, spokeswoman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry in response to the letter that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador sent to his counterpart Xi Jinping.

China sides with Mexico vs. the Republicans

On the Republican Party's 'threats' against Mexico, Ning added that Beijing "firmly" supports Mexico in defending its sovereignty.

"We call on the United States to stop hegemonic practices against Mexico. At the same time, we hope that the Mexican side will also take stronger anti-narcotics measures," he said.

The Mexican government launched an information campaign in March following what it described as attacks by the Republican Party.


Former Mexican ambassador to the U.S. says AMLO should not have published letter to Xi. He knows something or he is very grateful for the comforts that his friends in the U.S. political elite provided him.

Why AMLO should not have published the letter to Xi Jinping?

Arturo Sarukhan, former Mexican ambassador to the United States, explained on Twitter the consequences of the letter published by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

Regarding the document, the ex-diplomat revealed that this type of official exchanges between heads of state are not made public.

"This letter, besides being naive, reflects once again the president's lack of diplomatic and foreign policy skills," the explanation begins:

This letter, besides being naïve, reflects once again the president's lack of diplomatic and foreign policy skills.

1) This type of official epistolary exchanges between heads of state are not made public unless the objective is to ambush the counterpart, or to show off.

2) It denotes once again the voluntarism to which he resorts in his management, now projected outwards.

3) He ignores that in the face of growing diplomatic and geopolitical tensions between Beijing and Washington, dialogue and cooperation between the two on a whole range of issues, including anti-narcotics policies, is suspended or on hold.

4) 60% of all fentanyl secured in the U.S. occurs at #Mexico's border crossings with California alone.

5) He asks his counterpart for information and intelligence that the Chinese and Mexican governments, if they were doing things right, should already be exchanging and sharing.

6) He falls into a contradiction that will not escape either Beijing or Washington: if the controls in Mexican ports are strict -and they work- why ask President Xi for support and information?

7) Finally, what motivation or interest would Xi have in delivering this information to his Mexican counterpart? To a leader he has not seen in a single G20 summit or UN General Assembly or relevant international forum, whom very few relevant capitals in the world take seriously? To make it easier for the US?

Does the president really think this kicks the can forward and de-pressurizes the relationship with the US and the lawmakers he has attacked? What happens when Xi doesn't respond, or China doesn't do what he asks in his letter? Or continue the flow of fentanyl through MX and US pressures. Expose himself to a public diplomacy failure in broad daylight and retaliate with an anti-China tirade and yet another diplomatic conflict?

Pure smoke and mirrors.

 
Recently, the presidential airplane that was bought by previous governments and cost a lot of money, was finally sold to Tajikistan.

Here the media don't even know what to invent to belittle Russia and AMLO's government, this tweet from the Russian embassy is so good.

🤦‍♂️@Reforma: "U.S. authorities suspect that Tajikistan, the country to which Mexico sold the presidential plane, could serve as a bridge to get different products to Russia, including aerospace components that were banned to Moscow."
⁉We really don't understand how the purchase of the presidential plane is related to the fact that now "banned products" will arrive in Russia.
Thanks to @Reforma, we can now guess what "components" will fly to Russia.
 
‼ Another surreal story was published in @El_Universal_Mx. Thanks to their "well-credentialed international sources" we learned that the presidential plane "was not bought by an unknown Tajikistan, but by Russia".

✍Occident will do anything to manipulate public opinion.

But we are glad that outstanding experts have discovered such a beautiful and independent country as Tajikistan.

And we advise some experts to be more careful and check the text for common sense when they receive it from some "well-accredited" diplomatic missions here.
 
Another surreal story was published in @El_Universal_Mx. Thanks to their "well-credentialed international sources" we learned that the presidential plane "was not bought by an unknown Tajikistan, but by Russia".

The TV hosts on a program about politics (Alebrijes, Águila o Sol) were tearing their hair out because Russia had bought the presidential plane. They warned Lopez Obrador to beware of retaliation from the US government because they will not like that the mexican government is flirting with Russia and the BRICS.

(Interestingly AMLO suffered a fainting spell during a tour that was attributed to COVID... but that is another story)

The plane was sold for $92 million dollars. It had been purchased for $218 million by President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012).

The aircraft had several manufacturing defects, which diminished its value, despite the extreme luxury of the interiors.

The Boeing 787-8 was purchased by Calderón shortly before the end of his term in office, but premiered by his successor, Enrique Peña Nieto. After winning the elections and taking office in December 2018, López Obrador assured that he was going to sell the luxurious aircraft as a campaign promise. "Neither Obama nor Trump has it," the president said about the plane. It was one of his biggest declarations of intent: to put an end to the excesses and luxuries of the past and allocate the resources to INDEP, a body in charge of auctioning and recovering assets from criminals and corrupt officials.
 
And yes, they are going to cry, for decades they have been given free reign to "invest" with low paid jobs and abusing constitutional rights, as well as leaving pollution in every region.

And, this indignation will be done with all the media apparatus at their disposal.

Comical title they give it, here in Mexico, juniors refers to daddy's boys, who always do whatever they want without much effort and when they get into trouble, they ask for help from daddy who has influence in the state. A sign that the mining industry does not know the regions they plounder.

Mexico’s ‘shock’ new mining law hurts juniors most
Canadian juniors in Mexico were blindsided by a new mining regime on Apr. 29, after the Mexican Senate rushed through a contentious bill that experts say will deter investment.
Mining entrepreneur Ross Beaty, who’s made a career of investing in high-risk jurisdictions across Latin America, including Mexico, tells The Northern Miner the “aggressive” move by the government is “extremely damaging” to Mexico’s mining industry. “It’s a very significant negative to Mexico’s previously good investment climate for mining,” he says.
... Reuters reported over the weekend that Senators approved the laws in an accelerated process without opposition legislators present. Morena legislators convened outside the chamber’s usual voting location after the opposition occupied the chamber trying to prevent the session.
The reforms appear to be most damaging to junior explorers as they make it harder to obtain a new concession, says Joe Mazumdar, an analyst with the junior mining newsletter Exploration Insights. “Therefore, those not currently working in Mexico may think twice before entering this jurisdiction.”

The mining law reforms reduce Mexico’s attractiveness since companies now have to deal with an increased burden of pre-consultation, impact studies and water concessions, among other things. The new law also requires financial commitments (bonding) that would be difficult to meet for junior explorers.
Chief among the concerns regarding the mining reforms is a shortened tenure of mining concessions, reducing the duration from 50 years to 30 years, with a one-time 15-year renewal possible.
...
The new law also tightens water extraction permits and requires some mining profits to be returned to local communities, among other modifications.

Another key change means mineral concessions will now be granted through public auction, and not via a first applicant priority process.
Priority process, former Mexican government authorities gave concessions to the mining industry without previous studies of the soil, not to mention the needs and rights of the people, working hours, water and soil contamination.... Another curious fact was that they were given permission, they found X metal, for example gold, and without even having extracted it, just by giving notice, was already quoted on the stock market, without any benefit for the citizens of the region.

So the Canadian government, which constantly boasts of being inclusive, is now complaining. Hypocritical government, to which is not a big surprised, given the at least last 3 years circumstances.
As recently as last week, the Canadian Ministry of Commerce has expressed concern that the new mining legislation could affect Canadian investment in Mexico’s mining industry....
This video talks about how the previous governments gave an open letter to national and international investment in the mining industry and its effects - not benefits, as they boast so much - on the regions that have been affected.

It is long, but worth listening to. I must admit that I disregarded certain uses of language related to leftism, Marxism and the like.
 
He is a stone in the shoe for many, included the Mexicans, Mexico cant afford to keep prices down, they are losing money just to make AMLO look good for the 10th of april when he is specting to be re-elected. All I can see is Mexico going down very very quckly.

Dont get me wrong, he is pro Oil and Crude, he is against clean energy, but not for the same reasons we do.
What ever reason he really have behind , Today ,it's a much better president , that México can deserve...at least he is changing things...for the better, Just keep an eye on him...when he reveal his agenda, there no good politician in the world the system is design ti not promote honesto and well being for the world ,but this president Andrés Manuel López Obrador ..it's cleaning a Lot of mess...one step of a time, we don't need to be against him... let him do his changes and see where he is going....
 
Mexico so far from God and so close to the United States.

This video appears to be intended for the ignorant senator kennedy who blatantly offended our country two days ago.

Mexico calls U.S. senator who criticized the country "racist" and "ignorant".

Mexico City, May 11 (EFE) - Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard on Thursday denounced the racism and ignorance of U.S. Senator John Kennedy, who said that Mexico "would be eating cat food" without U.S. economic support.

"He should be ashamed to be a senator, and of course we are going to defend our country in all forums, including the U.S. Senate," said the Mexican Foreign Minister after being questioned by the media during an event regarding Kennedy's remarks.

On Wednesday, during a session with the director of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Anne Milgram, and the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Christopher Wray, Kennedy made derogatory statements about Mexico.

"Without the people of the United States, Mexico, figuratively speaking, would be eating cat food out of a can and living in a tent in a backyard," the Republican senator said.

He does not belong to the esteemed family of former President J. F. Kennedy.


FYI U.S. Senator John Kennedy, AKA John Neely Kennedy, despite sharing the first and last name of the 35th president of the United States, is not related to the Kennedy family of Massachusetts.

Read my reply well.
That's what I said: that Senator John Kennedy is not related to the family of President John f. Kennedy.

Thanks, puma.
 
Juan Trump', Donald Trump's nickname for AMLO

The former Mexican Secretary of Economy, Ildefonso Guajardo, assured that the nickname was because Trump assured that there were many similarities between him and López Obrador.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump (2017-2021) used to refer to current Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador as "Juan Trump" because of the similarities between the two, former Mexican Secretary of Economy Ildefonso Guajardo revealed on Wednesday, August 16.

Guajardo led the delegation of the Government of Enrique Peña Nieto (2012-2018), along with the then Foreign Minister, Luis Videgaray, who negotiated with the Trump Administration the new free trade agreement USMCA, talks that dragged on even when López Obrador was already president-elect.

"When we would visit Washington from time to time for negotiations, President Trump would greet us in his office, Luis Videgaray and me, and you know how he would refer to the current President Andres? He used to ask us, 'How is Juan Trump,'" Guajardo explained in a talk at the Wilson Center think tank in Washington.

According to Guajardo, Trump used this nickname for López Obrador, who won the 2018 elections, because "he saw himself in him as if he were a mirror."

The former minister, current international spokesman for the opposition alliance Va por México, opined that Trump and López Obrador come "from different contexts" but both "detest the free press", have a "strategy of polarization" and demand "absolute loyalty to their team" or fire those who question him.

"It is surprising that one apparently comes from the left and the other supposedly comes from the extreme right, but they are very similar," Guajardo said.

Despite Trump's outbursts against Mexicans, the former US president and López Obrador have a fluid relationship and have even expressed personal sympathies.


Well, Guajardo's statement is more of a taunt against AMLO at a time when the Mexican elite seeks to destroy the president's image at all costs and with an eye on the upcoming 2024 elections. If there was any reflection Trump was referring to, it was that both he and President Lopez Obrador were seeking to make their respective countries "great again.", but Guajardo focuses on the supposed hatred Trump and Lopez Obrador have for the press and free speech.

Unlike Trump, who was and is slandered by the so-called free press, Obrador followed a policy of direct contact with the people through his morning conferences known as the "mañaneras". This has served the president well in bypassing the "free press".

Recently, a smear campaign against the education policy was launched by the opposition to the government which considers that education in Mexico is taking a communist course, which is far from reality and closer to complying with Agenda 2030.

In this day and age to say that a president is a reflection of Trump is like saying he is a criminal and racist.
 
Mexico must accept anti-narcotics aid or U.S. invades, Republican warns

Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican seeking the presidency of the United States, offered to help Mexico fight drug trafficking and threatened that if the government does not accept the support, he will invade the country.

When interviewed by the US media Fox Business, the presidential aspirant stated that he would make this demand to Claudia Sheinbaum or whoever wins the 2024 presidential elections.

Comment: Claudia Sheinbaum is the virtual presidential candidate of the current political regime in Mexico called "Fourth Transformation" (4T) with a current preference of more than 50% against 20% of the opposition.​

"Mexico has elections in 2024. Whether it's Sheinbaum or someone else who wins that election, I'm going to reset the relationship and say, 'Listen, for a small fraction, and it will be a small fraction, of what we've spent in Ukraine, we can help Mexico regain its sovereignty from the Mexican drug cartels that are spilling over into our homeland; but, if they don't, then we'll come in and do the job ourselves,'" he threatened.

Comment: That little aid (and we all know what American-style aid means), a percentage of what is given to Ukraine, would also help the people of Hawaii who lost everything. But it seems that the most important aid is for matters of a warlike nature.​

He then compared Mexico's situation to that of a dog invading its neighbors' garden.

"Because the fact of the matter is, if you have a neighbor who has a dog that comes into your yard and keeps biting your family members, you can have a shotgun and shoot that dog," he asserted.


New U.S. wall forces Biden administration to explain itself in Mexico: "We had no choice".

The declarations of goodwill between the governments of Mexico and the United States collided with the announcement of 32 new kilometers of border wall between the two countries. During their visit to Mexico City, the delegation of high-ranking officials from Joe Biden's government was forced to give explanations to their Mexican neighbors, who acknowledged their "concern" and the bad timing of the announcement of the extension of the fence to South Texas. "We prefer to build bridges and not walls," said the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Alicia Bárcena, in a joint press conference with her U.S. counterpart, Antony Blinken. "We had no choice," Alejandro Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, said Thursday, insisting that the resources for the construction had already been allocated during the Donald Trump Administration and that they were legally obliged to allocate them to that task.

Comment: When Trump announced the construction of the wall, the Mexican media was in charge of telling the Mexican public opinion 24/7 that Trump was a racist, white supremacist. Now that the Biden administration is going to build another stretch of wall, the silence is total.​

The discomfort grew when the Mexican media asked Bárcena to clarify the position of the government of Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who had praised Biden for being "the only US president who has not built walls". "Unfortunately, it coincides with the visit", the Chancellor let slip. The U.S. president had already given his position at the White House along the same lines as Mayorkas a couple of hours earlier. The president, who promised during the campaign in 2020 that he would not extend the border fence, said he could not convince Congress to change the destination of the resources. "There is nothing in the law that tells them they can use that money for anything other than what it was allocated for. I can't stop it," he said. Reporters asked him if the wall was effective in stopping immigration. Biden answered only "no.

"Mexico is not a fentanyl producer".

The other issue that has dominated the visit of Blinken, Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland is combating the fentanyl crisis. It was not without controversy either. "Mexico is not a producer of fentanyl, it is a transit territory," said the Mexican Secretary of Security, Rosa Icela Rodriguez, at the head of the Mexican delegation. Just minutes later, Garland spoke of the distribution chain of synthetic drugs and how the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco Cartel - New Generation are "producing and trafficking fentanyl" from Mexico to the United States.

Mexico's refusal to acknowledge that the opioid is produced in its territory has been one of the most controversial issues in Washington and is a recurring point of criticism by Republicans against the Biden Administration. Barcena took the floor again after Rodriguez's intervention and said that "there are no legal laboratories" producing fentanyl in Mexico, but conceded that there are "illegal laboratories" that do. U.S. officials offered no further comment on the Mexican secretaries' cross-examinations.
