A prediction--
Mexico will only be saved by a fascist government coming to power and rounding up all the criminals and drug cartels and putting THEM in mass graves around the countryside (without trials, etc.)--instead of innocent teenagers and women and children.
The pendulum has swung so far that legal means will not keep up with lawlessness.
The bloodbath will be even more immense than now.

The problem is--how do you get rid of the fascist government after the nation is rid of vermin?
This has happened before in other countries.
Turmoil rules the next ~30 years or so.
 
Thanks to @M_Ebrard, "the best city Mayor in the world," In Mexico City we waste 25% of our life in transportation, due to traffic jams
 
(Dis) United $tate$



By Jorge Ramos Ávalos

(OCtober 28th., 2012).- The country is divided. Also my neighborhood. I just went to run, and I found a lot of posters in front of houses, backing Obama & Biden or Romney &Ryan- Blue or red. IN almost thirty years I've been living in the United States,, I do not remember seeing to such polarized election, so aggresive without any hope

I never thought seeying in the U. S: the sane division and personal Wars I just saw om Mexico and Be Venezuela wfore the electoions. ON July, @Mexico was divided between those who backed the Institutional Revolutionary Party candidate, Enrique Peña Nieto, and those who rejected with feelings very close to hatred. And in Venezuela, the same story At the end of october, . people were identified as pro Chavez or against him, whtout any mddle terms. And as in Venezuela or Mexico, in the States the political and ideological divisionsare so deep, that the future isn’t a promising one They are the (Dis)united States .

The next U.S. president will win the raffle of the tiger. Before a totally partisan Congress today, I do not see how Obama or Romney can convince lawmakers to leave their intransigence and cooperate on several pressing matters


To me, it's no secret- it is essential to find a solution for the 11 million undocumented immigrants and those who will come after them. It's amazing that the most powerful country in the world tretas in such inhuman way the vulnerable and poor. Obama and Romney are not alone. To reform immigration laws are needed votes Democrats and Republicans in Congress. And there are none.
But that is not all. The primary issue in this country is the lack of jobs. There are 23 million unemployed and people who have stopped looking for work. This crisis dragged it from the end of George W. Bush’s presidency . Obama says he has done as much as possible from the government to avoid an economic depression. Romney insists that was not enough and that he has a different plan, relying more on private industry.

The reality is that, contrary to what many think, no president is superman. Creating jobs requires cooperation, political alliances, serious and long negotiations. None of that it is a surplus right now in AMERICA.

It worries me that the government is spending more than what receives in taxes. And my children, yours and our generations will have to pay that debt someday. The basic principle of any family to survive -not to spend more than your income - it's something that neither @TheDemocRATS nor @GOP are agreeing to, and that can lead us into a downfall, just like the ancient Roman Empire

Both parties also aren´t changing laws to avoid massacres, one alter another. The killings in Columbine and in a movie theater are added to many other slaugthers, which being so frecuent are no Longer a news However, , Obama, Romney and the Congress won´t even dare to propose a limit in the use of weapons that work well in a war bot not in the hands if a neighbor Theis is one of the gfreatest AMERICA’S taboos


This is our daily war ( As the bread in The Lord’s Prayer) But there are others who also must avoid outside our borders. Sometimes it seems we have not learned the lessons of the Iraq war, which started for the wrong reasons and caused the death of 4.486 U.S. soldiers and over 105,000 Iraqi civilians (according IraqBodyCount.com). President Bush refused to allow UN inspectors to finish their work in Iraq in 2003 and began a war looking for weapons of mass destruction that never existed. We can not repeat this fatal error.

Of course we`ve got to avoid Iran from developingnuclear weapons, The future of Israel and the region depends on it. But before starting another war we must exhaust all diplomatic options and economic sanctions. That takes a consensus between the two parties, the Congress and the White House. This consensus does not exist now.
AMERICA is in one of those historical transitions that are consolidated as military and economic superpower or to fall gradually to the levels of all other countries. But to remain the indispensable nation, as Democrats and Republicans want, it is urgent to solve the problems of employment, migration, deficits, wars and weapons possession. It's not easy.

Whoever wins, Obama or Romney-opponents will need more than ever. The strength and leadership of this country lies in their union at key moments, from independence until after the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. But today, in the midst of the election campaign, it seems that we are talking about two different countries. Just go outside or turn on the TV to see it.

Mexican Treasury Secretary pretends to watch the banking system.
Institutional Narcisism

by



Gabriel Zaid

(October 28th., 2012) .- - The mouth praise in itself is a tradition of the entire public sector, but the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of Mexico, they
011.gif
doesn’t have any measure. In London, the now governor of the Bank of Mexico, and former Treasury Secretary took the opportunity to declare that "if there were medals for banking systems in these Olympic Games, Mexico would take one!." and “Authorities have acted prudently" and this "makes the macroeconomics of Mexico stands out for its strength."

He alluded to Greek tragedy and other countries catastrophe, where excessiv inept or fraudulent lending, ended in a major crisis. But he forgot one small detail. It wasn´t the care of the authorities, but his carelessness, which allowed banks to operate in Mexico the gold mine of multiple charges to their customers on any pretext. A terrific business, more attractive than the traditional: lending in advance and risking not getting paid. With the connivance of the authorities, Spanish banks with Mexican subsidiaries began to have higher profits here than in Spain, where he gladly would have applied the same recipe, if they had left. It was`b] the neglect of Mexican authorities that deserves a medal. When the crisis hit, the abuses permitted saved the country. There can be bad loans where no credit.[/b]

Therefore, as the official said, there is no risk of contagion of Spanish parent to Mexican subsidiaries. By contrast, the gold mines in Mexico are recapitalizing a formidable arrays dividends. Even a former finance minister and former governor of the Bank of Mexico pointed out in the Financial Times ("Emerging markets must lead banking reform", March 4, 2012): While Mexican banks distributed as dividends 20% of its profits and reinvest 80% foreigners and 75% distributed reinvest 25%. If foreigners do like the Mexicans, bank credit (which is currently 23% of GDP) could rise to 38% of GDP.
Unfortunately, not all Olympic neglect results in a free banking system tragedies. In fact, the same former official who was speaking was showcased in the failed privatization of the banks and then its burdensome bailout: tragedias thjat haven’t been paid until now.


But the oversights in banking supervision aren´t until now gone. They are an old tradition that continues mercifully hidden by the authorities attributed Olympic medals, not out of vanity, but to create confidence, which is essential for the smooth running of the economy. Confidence is unfounded and sinks whenever the little reasurring scandals erupt . Naturally, there weren’t the financial authorities of Mexico (anything likely to transparency), but foreign, which uncover all the scandals.



According to the International Monetary Fund from 2004 to 2007, there were 149 investigations for money laundering that came to the Mexican courts, of which only two investigations were originated by the Ministry of Finance. That, despite having a financial intelligence unit supposedly dedicated to monitor suspicious banking (Mexico: Detailed assessment report on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism, 11 de septiembre 2008).

Moreover, the Fund's warning was useless. When he presented his report, being secretary of the Treasury of the same Olympic official statements, didn’t uncovered the scandal of HSBC, and maybe did not even know until the Senate of the United States accused the bank of serious neglect between 2001 and 2010. Among other things, the senators investigating the laundering of seven billion dollars between 2007 and 2008 from the Mexican subsidiary. In anticipation of the fine, the bank has already reserved $ 700 million, although the penalty can be much higher (The New York Times, August 24, 2012) Instead, the National Banking Commission imposed a fine of $ 379 million (less than
$ 30 million). and the new finance minister wants to reassure us with another display of institutional narcissism:The Mexican banks have the best standards compared to the rest of the world ". "Today we are quietly confident." The "HSBC is a closed case" (El Universal, July 27, 2012).

But It is still open in the United States, where it airs another: the Walmart of Mexico, marked first by The New York Times (April 21, 2012) to give bribes to get building permits, and now under investigation for money laundering and tax evasion tax (Reuters, August 14, 2012). And the Ministry of Finance? On the moon: the famous Sea of Tranquility on the moon: "We have no open case against (...) in the case of Walmart" ("SHCP Walmart does not investigate," El Universal, August 22, 2012 ).

Mexican Treasury Secretariat does not act as watchdog of the banking system: it pretends to.

Legalizing extortion

By Juan E. Pardinas


October 28th., 2012) Genocide Gustavo Díaz Ordaz was president of Mexico in April 1870, when the still current version of the Federal Labor Law was approved. In its 1,010 items (yes, you read right, a thousand and ten), this rule seeks to regulate relations between employers and employees. However, this legislation contains certain provisions which constitute an open license to extort. In Mexico we have very good laws are not strictly enforced and stupid legislations that are fully respected. The criminal fraction of the Labor Law is the union that allows a ghost, without worker`s representation, to have the ownership of the collective bargaining agreement.

By the time when Diaz Ordaz was the President of Mexico and right now with FelipeCalderon’s term, it’s possible to register a trade union or a strike without the knowledge or consent of the workers of the company. In an excellent article in Nexos (09/2000), Raul Trejo Delarbre narrates his personal experience with the world of legalized extortion. By his eloquence, the appointment is extensive:

"... One evening last March, the office of the weekly Etcetera came a somewhat intimidating warning: 'you are summoned to appear in the hearings at the 6:00 P.M., March 8, 2000 date and time, in which will be a verification of a conciliation meeting with the aim of finding a solution to the site by signing, sponsored by the union’s leader before the competent authority - in the case of failure to appear at the date and time indicated, the legal process will continue to its ultimate consequences. '



"... Our surprise was great. Far as we knew, the weekly jokers weren’t part of any union. Several labor lawyers we consulted confirmed the simpler suspicion: the summons had been sent by a ghost union, one of many others who are s engaged in extortion of the company . If the manager of the company is scared, which is common, ask a sum of money in exchange for signing a false union with the collective agreement.



"So then, any other union, genuine or spurious, won`t claim any further labor demands, or threaten to strike, provided that the company submit a monthly or yearly cash amount. What happens if we miss the “deal”?, Asked one of the lawyers, answering the most pragmatic of them:. 'It depends. They can make a strike and close your company for three or four months. Or they can withdraw if they find that there won´t be a business for them . But do not worry. I have four unions that will sign a contract. Choose: one of the CROC, another of the CTM or any other smaller central. All are reliable. And come very cheap. '"
Trejo Delarbre’s text was published 12 years ago and painfully, it continues to be enforced right now. I do not fit in this space, stories of frustration and anger of small and medium entrepreneurs who have been victims of the same process. Long before the Zetas criminal organization popularized the "cash charge for the use of floor.” Federal Labor Law and extortion encouraged as an standard practice in the life of Mexico.

The labor reform introduced by the federal executive poses a fundamental change to demand ownership of the collective bargaining agreement; the union concerned shall have in their ranks, at least, a third of workers in the company.

Obvious and revolutionary: to form a union must consent and adhesion of a fraction of the employees working in that workplace. This is one of the changes that went into the freezer, the passivity of the PRI deputies have no hurry to approve or reject the proposal sent by the Senate. By discrediting the scope of Preferred Initiative, the PRI osn’t acting against Calderon but versus Enrique Peña Nieto. PAN President could only use two initiatives and brand preference. The president issued by the PRI will have 24 opportunities throughout his term. Who loses and who wins with the stagnation of labor reform?
