Corruption and ineptitude. It abounds in Central America…it abounds in Mexico. But, in the case Mexico, we should gently suggest that, while there is considerable corruption at various levels of governance in Mexico, there is also considerable compliance with the political and moral compact.
The very worst period was during the administrations of Luis Echeverria Alvarez (1970 - 1976) and the following regimen of Jose Lopez Portillo (1976 - 1982). Mexico hit a kind of high water mark, breaking into the ranks of the First World, in a way, when they hosted the Olympics in 1968. It was a great and proud moment for Mexico, although communist and radical elements attempted to sabotage the proceedings.
During the twelve years of the horribly corrupt and socialist madness, these two managed to take a 12.50 to 1 peso and leave it to where it would wind up at 3,000 to 1. That was quite an accomplishment. Industry sputtered, the standard of living suffered, and the national will became increasingly pallid. It took three terms, and bi-partisan at that, beginning with Ernesto Zedillo y Ponce de Leon of the PRI, then Vicente Fox Quesada of the PAN, and Felipe Calderon Hinojosa, also PAN, Mexico burst upon the stage of the Greatest Show on Earth, the international market place (The Partidido de Accion Nacional is analogous to the American Republican Party). Zedillo Ponce de Leon was PRI…a centrist party…but he was a conservative member of that party's configuration and composition.
The biggest problem the Mexican officialdom has right now, besides trying to stay ducked behind the bar while Yosemite Don shoots up the saloon, is the insane and violent nature of the traffickers of humans and drugs. It is a combination of activities that has rotted out Honduras and El Salvador…nice little places not long ago…and it has damaged the cultural fabric of the once stable nation of Guatemala.
Of interest is the fact that Mexico has been seriously embroiled in this matter for ten years now, with considerable numbers of the Mexican cartels' membership actually being from Central America. The fall of much of the cocaine production business in Colombia (although there is a bit of a resurgence) was replaced by an active Red Chinese drug exporting business aimed at the United States.
Some wise men sanctimoniously say that this act is designed as recompense for the flooding of China with opiates by the Brits. Considering that Chairman Mao Tse Tung ordered the assassination of over 30,000,000 Chinese after the fall of the Chiang Kai-Shek's government in 1949, perhaps the Opiate matter should not have been all that important. But, as we know, all such things of the Orient are inscrutable. Perhaps the Red Chinese will learn how to be open and above-board like the Democrats and other leftists in the American Government. Come and Brennan and (Sir Edmund) Hillary, anyone?
NOW TO THE ADMONITION OF AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT:
The President of the United States is apparently unaware that the State of Tamaulipas is presently enjoying the presence of nearly 13,000 various types of police and military, over and above what "used to be" a normal rural police presence. Many cities and small towns have either replaced the local constabulary with an elaborate and heavily armed and well-trained Army and Naval Infantry presence. These bodies with bristling automatic weapons and heavier armament and reliable augment a new Federal Civilian Police (actually an extension of the Army) who are also well-trained and who have an excellent understanding of forensic investigation and judicial evidential analysis.
The President of the United States is apparently unaware that the Mexican military has inflicted, during just the past three years, well over 1,000 killed and wounded cartel and organised criminal operatives, and have been involved in the arrest of significant personalities within that organised crime sector numbering over 2,500 individuals.
In many cases…unheard of twenty and thirty years ago…individuals apprehended by these forces who had warrants and requests for extradition to the Republic of Texas and to States in the United States and to the entity of the Department of Justice of the United States of America HAVE BEEN EXTRADITED to those entities, as requested, up to and including the famous Joaquin Guzman Loera.
There is a sardonic joke that Mexicans recount, even as they remember that Sean Penn and various Mexican counterculturists was adored "El Chapo" like the strata of mentally and socially retarded swine who thought (or think) that "Bonnie and Clyde" were American Folk Heroes. They weren't, folks. They were murderous swine.
In the saloon, a fellow is swaggering around and telling everyone who will listen that "El Chapo" is a great man, "He is a personal friend of mine. It is a sin that they shipped him to to Gringoland. El Chapo should be King of Mexico!!! Just think…he escaped from prison twice!!!! That proves he has resources!! That proves he is too great to be detained!!
Another man, tired of the drunk's ranting, pauses and then asks the drunk admirer of El Chapo, "He is very smart…perhaps that is true. But if he escaped twice, how come he was captured three times?"

The assembled group returned to their beer and tequila and dominoes…gossiping about Juan's wife and Jose's lucky chance with his Loteria Nacional win of one million pesos. The trio came back around with tunes that pleased the people while the loud-mouth eased slowly out the front door.
Sean Penn, one of the great intellectual moralists in the history of Planet Earth had just had "relations" with the woman pictured on the left…according to her. She, of course, is the wife of "El Chapo" pictured between the two paragons of virtue and selflessness.
Sean, being the beacon of truth and light who reminded everyone that Cuba was also the beacon of righteousness to guide the world in these troubled times declared himself to be a "journalist". This, of course, was something which is appropriate because none of the other "journalists" who are working in "journalism" have any idea what "truth", "righteousness" or "journalism" mean as words in this universe and at this time.
He, as most "journalists" during these times, thinks that journalism is the process by which one ridicules and generally makes fun of normalcy, decency, and responsibility. Sean, after gaining information for his story, launched his career and has since scored many, many scoops. He seemed to have misunderstood that "scoops" was not something we were associating with walking the Great Dane.
A FINAL REQUEST OF THE ADMIRAL OF THE SHIP:
PLEASE, Mr. President…understand that private negotiating with Mexicans is much better for your purposes than browbeating them in public. Furthermore, to say that they are doing nothing is simply not true.
Truth is made from Copper, Silver, and Gold. When you say that the Mexicans are doing absolutely nothing about this, you are spitting rancid mucous that makes no sense at all to people who support you but also have a reasonable understanding about Mexico and the Mexicans. Scores upon scores of Mexican soldiers have died in this fight…and scores and scores of honest Mexican cops and semi-honest cops have died in this fight…fighting for the Right and the Moral.
We have property in Mexico, and we have a long intergenerational industrial, business, and commercial relations with Mexico and the Mexicans since the 1880s. They are not all saints…but about 90 per cent of them could qualify as assistant Saints.
We beg your indulgence, and we beg that you think strategically and not tactically. Thanks to our readers and thank you, Mr. President.
