Well, well, well. What do we have here.
The past two weeks have been rather interesting for mexican politics, so to judge.
The moral head of the Catholic church in México, Norberto Rivera, has been tied to a pedophile. This has kept mexican cartoonist busy, some of the pics here, here, and here.
They acuse the cardenal of abetting and concealment of known pedophiles within the church.
The stinging blow comes from none other than good old Aztlán, Califas, or the good ol’ USA for you non-chicano peeps.
As soon as they landed in México, to present their accusations, they were stopped by mexican migra.
The pic of the whistleblowers being detained by mexican migra agents here.
Felipe Calderón, México’s president elect guy, has declined to say anything on the matter.
This has only aided the left. AMLO, remember him? Is getting stronger and Felipe Calderón hasn’t seen the day of light on his electoral victory. Shrouded in the dark of maquiavelian politics one wonders who is behind these right out scandals that are shaking politics south of the border.
I don’t believe in coincidences so my first thought is to ask who is AMLO getting help from in ol’Aztlán? Or as my old latin ancestors said: Cui bono?
Are the effects of the anti-Bush movement trickling down to México or is this real as in the “here and now” and not a chain of predestined events?
Who knows, but it is of utmost interest to see that even dirtier laundry from across the power hierarquies spectrum are also rearing its tentacles.
A mexican- arab rich guy by the name of Kamel Nacif Borge has also been tied lately to the pedophile image of México. Nacif has just managed to stain several political heads in the Mexican congress with a Vicente Fox scurrying to control damage though the head that was tainted by the allegations was from the Old PRI cadre.
In spite of all these scandals Forbes decides to call a meeting of the richests witches in SA and call it a business as usual day in México.
Why?
Why demonize the so far pacifist left in México and poke it as a hornest nest?
Who stands to benefit from so much unrest?
On the one hand we have people rocking the moral conscience of the mexican people, our leaders are so corrupt their potruding bodies are unbearable and on the other hand the higher echelons insist that everything is as usual.
The Right is sitting it out, going about its business while the Left is crying out that Felipe Calderón is about to sell out all mexican oil to Halliburton [link is in Spanish].
So were are we in México? Is the power struggle in México reflecting power struggle in the US?
