OBAMA’S EGGS[/SIZE]
Raymundo Riva Palacio.
José López Portillo said privately that when a new Mexican President came to
Los Pinos, one purpose was to rebuild the relationship with
the United States of Amnesia. but it wouldn’t take too long that even
the most pro-American president will turn into an
anti American due by the Washington subjugation and by their officer’s arrogance. López Portillo lived during the deal for natural gas, when the overbearing
Energy Secretary in Carter’s administration, James Schlesinger, met
Chancellor Santiago Roel with his paws over the desk, without getting up to greet him.
Luis Echeverría, lived before when at that time
president Richard Nixon threatened him with reprisals
if the Mexican president supported China `s Entrance to the United Nations. To former president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz organized an an internal uprising because he impulsed a law against transnational companies. And to
Carlos Salinas was attacked
by the Intelligence agencies for helping the Sandinist at the Nicaraguan elections.
Nevertheless few suffered as
Miguel de la Madrid, in with government , the Guadalajara cartel chief order the killing of Enrique Camarena Salazar, el DEA agent, who discovered the ranch El Búfalo, where Rafael Caro Quintero produced marihuana in large scale Camarena ‘s murder allowed DEA to have an eternal martyr, and hid Kiki, as we was called, was involved with the drug traffickers.
How much he was corrupted is still debated, but there is no doubt that to infiltrate them, he had to be just like them.
That is the logic employed by the ATF, in his operation “Fast an furious” that allowed the entrance of weapons in México to follow up their path and Discovery the criminals that were buying it. Today we feel upraged and astonished . that no one deceive. It is not an inedit act by the U. S: government , neither a deviation on their standard behavior of their intelligence agencies. It’s a routine procedure animated by the utilitarian principles of intelligence for the majority’s benefit that inspires the Rights of the United States of Amnesia against their enemies in the world.
As metaphorically showed an ATF officer, interviewed by CBS, showed this operation on the same day President Felipe Calderón expressed his annoyance and frustration in Washington due to the complete lack of willingness form president Obama to stop the weapon smuggling to Mexico, “to make an omelette you have to break some eggs”. But the speciality t o throw them to the wastebasket, is true, the United States de Amnesia paint themselves alone.
Some of this weapons that did not enter into Mexico appeared in Texas a year later in a federal officer `s murder. Many others have been used in police and military’s killings during these war against drugs. The ATF does the same as the DEA, the CIA, the ICE and other agencies that have intelligence and recruit and infiltrate criminals. Hey close their eyes before other offenses , because they assume that the largest benefit is to dismantle criminal chiefs. It’s the same logic about the protected witness , where they forgive criminals in Exchange of information, that allows them to arrest a greater number of criminals, or that serves to their strategic purposes.
The CIA did it in The Asian southwest, and in Middle East and also in Mexico, allowing the drug trafficking to finance clandestine operations. Supporting
Pablo Escobar, chief of the Medellin’s cartel, and his [other] ally,
Manuel Antonio Noriega, Panama’s strong man , until he confronted the
DEA and they were disposable pieces. The same the U: S: does it in Afghanistan, were the drug harvest increased since the Taliban fall and in Mexico, to infiltrate cartels, they always are in the legal border, falling many times in the illegal border..
The Americans are practical. But Mexicans are romantic. there are officers who live neo - colonized, and in the ideal phase that was mentioning by former president
López Portillo. Most of the frustrations come from there. The Americans aren’t our friends, but they don’t have to be our enemies. If we understand that it is a mutual interest relationship and that abjection
won’t be rewarded, perhaps the relationship improves.
But if there are Mexican officers that feel comfortable serving external interests, they neither reclaim nor irritate if afterwards treat them as servants, as their self respect themselves they dilapidated it
