The Danger Across the Border

Mexico is no failed state, but on several fronts the government may be losing ground rather than gaining.

    There is a third cynical possibility. Accusing Mexico of being a potential 'failed state' is deliberate propaganda. The purpose of this propaganda is to distract U.S. citizens from the massive corruption in the U.S. which is causing economic collapse. This propaganda diverts attention to the failure of the U.S. government and creates fear of traveling out of the U.S., thus keeping money in the U.S.. If the U.S. government was so concerned about state failure, the President of the United States would have taken the lead, many years ago, bypass all regulators and bankers, and speak to the citizens. He would have said, the government knows the median amount of income (declared on IRS 1040's) will never pay for the median home price. This is irrefutable evidence of massive mortgage fraud at every level. The nation's economy will not survive such corruption.

    Swine Flu In Mexico.

    Soon after I have written about New Mexico State Hispanic governor Bill Richardson , U. S. , there were a serious fatal "Swine Flu" epidemic in Mexico after Obam visit there in April 2009. As I have mentioned in reply # 60 above that Bill Richard had help a lot during the 2008 President Election but Richardson ended up only not being nominated as Secretary of Commerce and even get into a scandal making also his postion as governor worse. By now all of you should know very well that Obama and his supporters cannot be trusted. They are quite simply wicked people who are out to take advantages of you then after they have succeeded and gained turn around and hurt you and even destroy you.

    Furthermore, where ever Obama goes for a visit or who ever he meet in person, those places and people will have great disasters. In the case of the current G20 meeting in Europe, just a couple days after that meeting near the Spiritual/Religious Capital of Europe Italy/Rome/Vatican havd a serious earthquake killing hundreds of people. Now Mexico is having the Swine Flu epidemic. Obama's home region the Midwestern U. S. was hit by unusual record flooding. Meaning the Environment here and there didn't welcome Obama because he is a villain. They will reject Obama and also people that have welcome him

    A distinguished archaeologist Felipe Solis, a distinguished archaeologist, who had served as the Mexican Host for US President Obama died from the Swine flu. When Obama had stopped in Mexico on April 16-17 for a regional economic meeting.

    Obama must have threathen and harassed the Mexican President while he were there in Mexico. The world should simply get rid of Obama once in for all because he is simply dangerous and unlucky. Do it now or it will be too late.

    Oh, come on - your are sounding like the Pakistanis who also seem have a fairly tale notion of nationhood. This latino aura is also transending into the USA. Heaven help you if you ask a latino to be civil, it beats on his manhood and wants to fight you. Don;t even look at the person in the eye- that is a challenge. Take somr old world mentality back home. Start being civic citizens and volunteer -otherwise the problem s with California will be spread far and wide

    Mexico's current situation is similar in theory to the parent that neglected to discipline a child, until they reached their teen years. Presidente Calderon is the first president to say "enough" and bring his country into the ranks of respected nations that Mexico deserves...and Mexico is paying dearly for this long-needed strong-arm approach. Even the beloved Preseidente Fox avoided the difficult task-at-hand knowing what the consequences would be. I know Mexico and visit there frequently so it saddens me to see what the general population must cope with now because some crooked cops,
    some crooked politicians, and some egotistic-narco- scumbags want things to be "their way". Unfortunately, the death penalty, for kidnapping and homicide, may be a necessary tool Calderon needs to consider in his strategy going forward. Sad that a country of high-culture, that brought the first university and printing press to North America, needs to take such drastic measures. But how else do you punish the criminal population of Mexico that murders police, government officials, fellow citizens and tourists, as well as kidnaps and murders the child of a fruit stand owner?
