MEXICO’S SECRET POLITICAL GAMES & LIES SHOW THE WORLD THE CHISTE (JOKE) THAT IS PRESIDENTE CALDERON

Has anybody been following the story of ’so called’ Chinese / Mexican drug manufacturer Ye Gon? His house in Mexico City was busted by Mexico drug enforcement agents with the help of the US, as always - seizing a record $207 million dollars in cash! (mostly in US dollars) Of course, Gon was gone - split to the US where he professed his innocence and said that the he was told to hide the money in his house by corrupt PAN Mexican political party officialss to help with Presidente Calderon’s election. Of course, the PAN party members named (and Calderon) say this is ridiculous! If you know anything about Mexico and her politics, this is 100% possible.

Mexico then asked permission to go to the US and arrest Señor Gon, the US agreed, but what happened then became total Mexican stupidity! Mexico’s agents tried to kill Gon (in the US), well as you can imagine the US wasn’t too happy about Mexico’s arrogance, kicked the agents out of the country and took matters into their own hands.

While back in Mexico nobody knew what happened to the $207 million, there was a big judicial stink going on, then things got quiet and the topic of the wherabouts of the millions in seized money was quickly hushed. The treasury department said they were watching the ‘invisible’ money and through all of this the most silent political worm was Calderon himself. The Mexican people are used to this kind of money disappearing act (part of Mexico’s heritage and culture) and the PAN corruption scheme has since become fodder for a huge amount of chistes (jokes).

A couple days ago the US finally caught up with Mr. Gon and charges were filed today and of course today the Mexican government admitted that extradition would now be almost impossible. But, the good news is that the 90 days had finally passed and nobody has claimed the $207 million dollars! So now it belongs to Mexico and the ’system’ promises to use the cash to start drug rehab centers, beautify the police stations and buy a few (billion) cokes (mordidas) I am sure. This is Mexico’s way of covering their ass and the disappearing cash as well, by putting the money to ‘invisible’ and ‘unaccountable’ good use.

What does Ye Gon have to say now? Well, he definitely wants to deal with the US - if he goes back to Mexico he will most likely (accidently) will get killed. He is now asking for political asylum to ensure he has a long life in a safe American jail. I will say one thing, Gon is a very intelligent drug manufacturing, entrepreneur and letting out his version of the truth about the Mexican political scam is a very credible story. Mexico thrives on corruption, why else would they have given this Chinese pharmacutical manufacturer a Mexican citizenship within a year of opening his business here in Mexico?

CARLOS SLIM AND TELMEX FUCK MEXICANS (AND EXPATS) DAILY THROUGHOUT MEXICO

Telmex- the monopoly telecommunications system in Mexico, owned by billionaire Carlos Slim - the 2nd richest man in the world (who currently owns most of the historic center in Mexico City along with numerous companies, including the famous Sanborn’s restaurant department store chain), the man who wants to be richer than Bill Gates - but not throw away any of his money on charities, which he says are a waste.

Telmex personnel are well trained in the art of fucking the client (as are Telmex’s army of attorneys who have been living in the courts, keeping the competition out of Mexico for years - like AT&T, Sprint, etc.), especially clients that pay ontime and have been with them for years - we are one such client… and here is our story!

We had a contract (2 years mandatory) for Telmex’s high speed internet service called ‘Infinitum’ which is 100.0 Mbps for $500 pesos per month, after the contract expired we requested a price adjustment on the service. Seems that all new subscribers to the service now only have to pay $300 pesos a month now - Telmex’s answer “… NO”, we said okay then if you are going to charge us the extra $200 pesos a month, upgrade us to your ultimate speed plan (200.0 Mbps), they said “sure!” But 3 months and $600 pesos (in over-payment) later, still no upgrade.

Now anytime you have problems with any kind of service in Mexico you should always have them enter your complaint into the computer under your account number, the water company, electricity have no problem with this and it helps with any possible future headaches - believe me! Now with Telmex, we have asked that our complaints be registered in the computer, they (of course) say “okay, no problema…” - we should have 4 complains in the system for 2007, guess what……? Not one exists.

So today we confronted (cornered) the executive manager here in our town, of course she didn’t want to be bothered… until we threatened to go to Profeco , the consumer protection agency for Mexico.

To make a longer story short…

a) “…we upgraded you, it must be your browser… have you downloaded the new Internet Explorer 7 ?” Explorer!!!??? what does this have to do with our ISP connection? …and NO we don’t use that crap we use Firefox - besides it has nothing to do with your browser, it is your service coming through to our modem! We purchased a bandwidth monitor to check our speed as well.

b) What if we cancel our ‘Infinitum’ account and get a new one so we stop giving you people $200 extra pesos per month to fuck us like this? …we said. ANSWER: “Sorry sir, that is impossible… if you cancel we cannot reconnect and give you the lower rate, that is for new clients only (who sign-up to get a 2-year contracted fucking by Telmex too).”

Soooooo, our next move…? We’re working on it (right now looking for Carlos Slim’s hacienda on Google Earth), but until we figure it out we are giving that bastard Slim $20 bucks a month - that’s $2,400 pesos ($240.00 usd) per year!!!

ILLEGAL MEANS - YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS! ¿¡¿COMPRENDO?!?

Tomorrow will be another May Day of illegal Mexicans making a nusuance of themselves in a country that bends to the populas. If any Britian, French, Canadian or even American with ‘legal’ papers to be in Mexico, were to try and hold a march for rights in Mexico, do you know what would happen to these legal immigrants? ……..they would be arrested! Or possibly killed!

Even Mexicans - in Mexico, think these marches are wrong - the only people down here that are for the protests are the rancheros who themselves go to the US (illegally) or have worked up there before - they see nothing wrong with it and think being illegal is okay and you should have a free pass through the legal system.

What country in the world believes in this!?! Not one… if this stupidity keeps up, expect to see a few more illegals going back home in a black plastic garbage bag!!! Guaranteed amigo!

DIRTY SECRETS… AFTER HOURS MUNICIPAL SEX PARTIES AT THE PALACIO

The elections are over, the new party officials have taken over their political positions and have settled in… now it’s party time! A local ‘junior’ is now the head of the local municipal in a small town in the state of Queretaro, he has found that the ciudad has no money for him to pocket, so he decided to take it from the people - your basic Mexican Mordida (bribe), but very legal looking by using the new police department to do the shakedowns and collecting for him. Now he can do (legally) only what he used to dream about as a bored spoiled ‘junior’ (rich kid) that comes from an admired local family… have sex parties, of course!

The story on the streets is that he has 14, 15 and 16 year old girls come to the Palacio in the evening, dresses them in a costume of fruits (mangos, papayas, grapes, bananas….?) and than the party begins …and doesn’t end until the last piece of fruit and each girl is devoured by him and his staff.

CORN BUYERS GOUGE MEXICO’S POOR, WHILE CALDERON PLAY SOLDIER!

By now you may have heard that the price of corn tortillas in Mexico has skyrocketed! The life staple of Mexico has doubled to quadrupled in price in some areas in this country. Of course, the middle class (which is very small in Mexico) and the rich can afford the rising prices, but the poor who live off of the corn tortillas are being punished! White corn brokers are buying tons of the raw corn product, doubling and reselling to the tortillarias, who in turn have no choice but to raise there prices.

Here in our town the price for a kilo has risen from 6.5 pesos to 10.5 in some states we have heard that the price has risen to 30 pesos! This is against the Mexican Constitution and the man who should be doing something about it doesn’t give a shit. Calderon (seen last week in his puppet soldier costume surveying the borders…) is 100% big business, doesn’t care about the people and never will - they didn’t help him get elected! So as Mexico’s new puppet president parades around in fatigues trying to impress upon the world that he is strong and will wipe out the drug cartels one-by-one. He is really wiping out the poor and indigenous of Mexico with out of control price gouging that will soon lead to the raising of milk and soda prices… the other two main stays that Mexico’s poor survive on.

Mexico needs to feed her people and not the corporate monopolies! Presidente Calderon is as much as an embarrassment to Mexico as George Bush is to the US - congratulations! Lets hope that Calderon doesn’t kill as many Mexican citizens as Señor Bush has in Iraq.

MEXICAN GAS COMPANIES TO KILL OFF MARINE LIFE IN SEA OF CORTEZ

Already destroying the ecological balance of the Pacific Coast of Baja California, oil companies like El Paso Gas and DKRW Energy are planning on building a liquefied natural gas terminal at Puerto Libertad Sonora along Mexico’s beautiful Sea of Cortez coastline. The area - already named as a UNESCO World Hertigage Site and is considered one of the world’s riches areas of marine life. Migrating whales, shrimp harvesting, and one of the largest scuba diving and sportfishing areas in the world, along with many endangered species of marine mammals like the sea turtle, now threatened by gas company deals with Mexican politicians. El Paso Gas was stopped from building a natural gas terminal in Northern Baja, so now it is quickly moving on destroying the Sea of Cortez along the coastline of Sonora.

Why do Mexican companies seeking out the most pristine coastal areas in Northwest Mexico to transform them into industrial waste areas? The Mexican government ironically is now involved in promoting tourist to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, so now tourists can vacation and watch the killing off life in the the Sea of Cortez!

ARIZONA ANTI-MEXICAN RACISM RAMPANT IN BORDER TOWNS

An earlier post dealt with the growing rate of parcels disappearing that are shipped through the Mexican postal service. Just last week a Mexican friend alerted me to what was going on in the post offices of Arizona. There is a huge vein of discontent and racism flowing within the US Postal Service’s offices near the borders. Mexican immigrants are charged 2 to 3 times the postal shipping rates of Americans and according to our friend and a couple of his amigos none of there packages they send ever get to their families in Mexico. This report comes from 3 different post offices along the US / Mexico border where postal inspectors are making sure the parcels get delivered to their own personal homes. They have a goldmine here, because they know the documented and undocumented Mexican laborers do not want to raise a fuss and draw attention to themselves, thus are being ripped off and having personal property stolen by the Arizona postal employees.

GRAFITTI VANDALS BEATEN BY LOCAL PUNISHMENT SQUAD

What is a person to do when bored teenagers roam the streets at night spraying people’s houses, gates and cars? If you have a relative or friend in the local police force you can always pay a few off-duty police to investigate the youths who have been vandalizing the neighborhood. What happens next is totally at the disgression of the officers. Which usually means kidnapping the teens from their houses and taking them to a field and beating the shit out of them! With a stern warning not to bother going to the police, because they are the police and the next time their parents can pick up their bodies in the morgue.

POSTAL THEFTS ON THE RISE IN MEXICO

In the past few months the theft and disappearance of parcels shipped from Mexico through the Mexican postal system SEPOMEX has increased at an alarming rate! We have been the victim of $500 in losses since October. When we questioned the local Postmaster here in town, we were told that the government know about the situation, but has no current plans to do anything about it. The postal employees were also warned that if they discuss any of this with the public they will be immediately terminated!

Thanks to a sincere postal staff in our town we have been told to no longer ship items of value with the Mexican postal system, but to use the trusted international carriers like: UPS, DHL and FEDEX if we want to guarantee that our parcels arrive safely.
