"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat
I want to tell you that I bring you affectionate greetings from a long suffering Mexico, a Mexico in pain, a Mexico that is canceling freedoms. The freedom to choose because there is an autocratic president, an aspiring dictator who is attacking the independent electoral authorities that we worked so hard to build. Who is attacking the freedom of the press and harassing journalists who criticize him and expose his hypocrisy in a country that has seen the murder of 40 journalists in this government. A country that attacks our freedom to live the future because it attacks the environment.
It destroys our jungle, our mangroves, it destroys our air. I come with a message of sadness. I would disagree with the congresswoman, I’d be ashamed to disagree with Cayetana Álvarez de Toledo. Sometimes I think that I’ve become a pessimist, not from being inside the penthouse of ideas. But more so from the facts of having lived through a rough experience. Nonetheless, your message gives me back at least tonight a lot of hope. And from there I transmit what I want to transmit.
This greeting is from a Mexico in pain. Where today, probably this very hour, the 150,000th Mexican was killed since the president of Mexico decreed that the policy with organized crime was not to comply with the law. But to give hugs instead of gunfire. 150,000 have been murdered in a little more than a few years. Which means that 96 people are murdered a day. And this future that cancels freedoms and cancels life. I don’t want it for Mexico and I don’t want it for Latin America and I don’t want it for Argentina. This will not be so if you decide that this future without freedom will not be for you or for anyone else.
SIR
ReplyDeleteFelipe Calderon brother had over $100 million in a bank account corruption at its finest!
Wait... are you SIR, chief?
DeleteWonder how much money 💲💰, ELMO has hidden away to use when he leaves office.
DeleteHe’s not wrong though.
DeleteThats a negative chief ,wrong president SIR.
DeletePresident Carlos Salinas de Gortari's brother had $140 million Dollars in his account .
**Chivis**
This fool is exactly that, a fool!!! Calderon is the one that got the ball rolling!!! He's the one that declared his "supposedly " war on the cartels when in reality he sold himself to the highest bidder. It was all a sham. He sent in the army in Michoacan talking about he was going to get rid of narcos there and it ended up even worse. Garcia Luna was this guys main man when it came to security, and he was helping to get shyt across the border. And he'd been corrupt since Fox's administration. There's no way that he didn't know what was going on or he didn't know or find out about his past during the vetting process. He got all this shyt start when it comes to the bullshit the cartels do now a days. Mexico's homicide rate went up more than 300% during this hypocrite's administration. And he gots the nerve to go up there and say this shyt. As soon as his administration was up he left Mexico. He took a shyt all over the house then went to go live somewhere else. He didn't even stay to try to fix what he caused. The coward left!!! That's what gets to me even more. And now he wants to go up there and talk about Mexico's pain. The pain he started. Fu@¡ Calderon!!! He's a piece of shyt!!!
DeleteTrump drawing up invasion plans for Mexico should he be re-elected https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/donald-trump-mexico-military-cartels-war-on-drugs-1234705804/amp/
ReplyDeleteMr. Brown, that's quite the find there sir. But in all honesty it remains to be seen.
DeleteTrump never built the promised wall. All bark no bite.
DeleteNeither will happen. Trump is not going to win, and unless we want to be the new Russia, we will not invade Mexico. Both counties need to take a big long look at themselves in the mirror before we lay blame on the other. If Americans didn't demand such huge quantities of drugs, there wouldn't be so much money to be made by criminals. If Mexico would clean its own act up, and treat it's citizens better, stop stealing all of the money, and actually punish criminals, then they would have a more willing populace. More willing to work honest jobs they can survive on. Perhaps then, the citizens would not be so infatuated with being cartel members. This issue will never completely disappear, but could at least save more lives. Drug use is a choice. Spare me the bullshit about past traumas, broken homes etc. Millions of us have suffered through similar or worse traumas, and are not choosing to be junkies or criminals. We all know what becomes of drug abusers. We all know what happens if you choose to deal in illicit drugs. If one makes the choice to engage in those activities, then they deserve no empathy, or mercy. JMO.

DeleteRolling Stone reporting is like pravda ... "says one of the sources"! One of the sources! We had four years of "one of the sources" and none of it was ever proven true! The left wing media marxists are the Augean Stables x 1000! Amlo, calderon and biden are all cartel stooges! There is a lot of pain in Mexico for sure, but none of the rich corrupt politicians know that pain. They only relish inflicting the pain! Actions speak louder than words!
DeleteToo many white men would get killed if that happened and Dan Crenshaw would loose his other eye.
DeleteAmericans of Mexican descent are quickly becoming the majority in the US. Trump is an idiot draft dodger. Remember when he wanted a full on military parade?hahahaha
Kaimu, you never read pravda, but the amount of bs you spread is awesome
DeleteTrump has been talking about declaring war on the cartels for the last five years. If he didn't send in the troops the last four years he's not going to do it even if he got four more years.
DeleteTrump is all talk and no action. No news here.

Delete@James Brown. You can't be taking that shit seriously? It isn't even possible.
DeleteDr. Detroit
DeleteMr. T. has been indicted by the Court, his Attorneys have to turn him in soon, hope he don't make a run for Mexico.
I know it’s wishful thinking. But I hope we as a planet and humans end up in a world like they portray in Star Trek. Where there is no currency or poverty. I know that’s still a long way from now. We will get there. I’m Dominican. Born and raised over there. And even in my country which is not a rich country, you have all the crazy things going on at the level that’s going on in Mexico. I wonder what’s the huge motivation to be so carnal or evil.
ReplyDeleteBut I hope things get better eventually.
Rubio NYC
Ironic coming from Calderon.
ReplyDeletecalderon turned mexico into hell selling out to the drug war
ReplyDelete*selling out to the sinaloa cartel
DeleteMexicans turned Mexico into what it is today…
DeleteThe leaders are nothing more than a reflection of the masses that put them in power.
I don’t really like Calderon, and although he’s probably corrupt, he was 100% right for declaring war on drugs.
Cartels were breaking the law and the President is responsible for enforcing those laws.
The country went to shit the minute cartels started selling the product at home. At one point someone had fight crime.
8:11 okay FCH turned México into a warzone by combatting the criminal organizations.
DeleteAndres Manuel López Hablador through his inaction allows the criminal organizations too also keep México in the highest per capita murder rates in the world.
Do you also criticize AMLH for the desmadre during his presidency?
@908 bro just shut up. FC was super corrupted. Thats why he doesnt step foot in mexico. PRI has been robbing Mexico for hundreds of years and now all of a sudden AMLO is the bad guy LOL. Past presidents have been robbing the mexican people blind and in their faces,
Delete7:36
DeleteNo one has said Andres Lopez Manuel Hablador is a bad guy, just because 9:08 said due to his in action allows criminal cartels to run rampant, past presidents have gotten bribes, what makes you think 🤔, Andres Lopez Manuel Hablador has not gotten bribes?
All presidents of Mexico take bribes, yes even the current one.💰💰💰
"DIOS NOS CASTIGO con AMLO ?" This is a headline from a mexican news page.
ReplyDeleteFCH telling it like it is.
ReplyDeleteHes telling it like a true hypocrite. He shouldn't talk about freedom of press after jailing Jesus Lemus for 3 years for exposing the ties between LFM and the Calderon family. LoL the GGL trial exposed the ties between the corrupt government and the corrupt media, and you think this guy is telling it like it is? Okay 🙄🤭🤭🤭
DeleteFECAL
DeleteWelcome back SIR. Stay anonymous 😉
DeleteLet's see how all of the ELMO lovers respond to this.
ReplyDeleteFCH is talking shit, he sold mexico during his term and is now bitching. Detroit, whats next, freedom for GGL???
Delete@Detroit. In 50 years the bodies of Calderons war will never be found.. The thousands of state sponsored disappearances. If you don't think that brutalised teenagers should have been shown compassion, brought into care after what was basically a civil war that traumatised a nation, instead of snatched, that's cool. But I hope you know what that AMLO speech was really about- young men in areas that Calderon had destroyed being forced into a vicious circle. ''HUGS not BULLETS'' was not meant for the ''cartels'', it was meant for vulnerable kids who are targeted by mobs in placeswhere their dads have been released from the factories and the
DeleteSouth Africa had the Truth Commission and hundreds of thousands of dissappeared were traced. Rwanda, Indonesia, the Phillipines had the same.
@Detroit. I'm not an AMLO lover, just one of those people who hates lazy bullshit. This cynical gloop is from Calderon. Tens of thousands of innocent men,women and children were disappeared by his underpaid ''army''- any other country that wasn't as politically delicate would have had a full reckoning with that time- like the Indonesian, Rwandan, South American reckonings, or the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committees. The ''hugs not bullets'' speech wasn't aimed at ''THE CARTEL' so what else have you got against him, other than him presiding over chaos wrought by his predecessors?
DeleteMeanwhile, in Florida....

What do all you payasos think of El Cheeto attacking? Si o no?
Ahhh today another day of rain and more rain, the Arizona desert is getting soaked big time. Too much rain.
DeletePhx has clouds but no rain where u at buddy
DeleteWhat will Andres Lopez Manuel Hablador
ReplyDeletecover today in his clown speech?
If you tune in you can tell us.
DeleteI tuned in he was talking nonsense about how Spain conquered Mexico, I fell asleep after the first 10 minutes.
Delete1142 you should get better sleep or have yourself checked out by a specialist. Sounds like you might have a sleeping disorder.
DeleteTypical political speech. He still hasn't given an interview for Garcia Luna, his head of security for 6 years.
ReplyDelete"...an aspiring dictator who is attacking the independent electoral authorities that we worked so hard to build..."
So this guy's upset because MoReNa reformed the INE? Calderon is upset with the INE reform because a term cap was put on the directors. They could only serve 6 years now instead of 30? Calderon is upset with the INE reform because the salary for directors was cut so that they can not make more than the President of Mexico? Calderon is upset upset because the INE reform opened the doors to prosecute a mexican president for election fraud? Dont be fooled by a wolf in lambskin, he's defending corruption.
LOL. This clown needs to be interviewed by a reputable independent member of the press about Garcia Luna, not one of his corporate media puppets that works for Televisa or TVazteca. Which brings me to his next statement,
"...Who is attacking the freedom of the press and harassing journalists who criticize him and expose his hypocrisy in a country that has seen the murder of 40 journalists in this government..."
Mexicos media is monopolized by 2 major media outlets, Televisa and TVazteca. During the GGL trial it was exposed that these corporate media outlets were taking money to write positive articles in favor of Garcia Luna and the Calderon administration. AMLO is excluding journalists from these media outlets for their involvement in corruption. For taking bribes and covering up for these corrupt officials... Now I can't believe Calderon has the audacity to say Mexico's freedom of press is under attack when his administration put JESUS LEMUS in jail for 3 years after Lemus exposed the ties between La Familia Michoacana and members of the Calderon family... and I agree, 40 journalists killed during AMLO's administration is very sad and unfortunate. There needs to be law reforms and harsher sentences for killing journalists and children, but let's not forget to distinguish the type of "journalists" Calderon is defending. Calderon is defending the corporate media puppets who were taking his money and writing great articles about him. He is not defending the independent journalists, the "Jesus Lemus's'' who truly risk their lives and liberty by exposing the crime and corruption that Calderon had ties too...The irony, a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Hypocrisy at its finest.

DeleteI said it before and I'll say it again... Mexico is Pathetic ever dealing with AmLo.. he's like the District Attorney in L.A county... Worthless
ReplyDelete1119 you're comparing apples to oranges. A District Attorney is nowhere near the types of issues a President has to deal with, especially for a country like Mexico that has been plagued with crime and corruption for more than 40 years. As a matter of fact, AMLO has publicly condemned corrupt judges that release criminals on technicalities or unfreeze bank accounts for corrupt officials like Garcia Luna.
DeleteAMLOs borderlandbeat media secretary is hard at work on here every single day trying to convince us that our own eyes are deceiving us and his comments are the genuine truth.
ReplyDeleteGive it a break chairo...
I live in your mind rent free.
DeleteNope.
DeleteHe is corrupt as well we don’t care what he’s got to say
ReplyDeleteAll cartel fans are happy today Trump got indicted in Manhattan on 30 counts tied to hush money for Stormy Daniels.
ReplyDeleteHe did claim his supporters were going to riot in protest. Guess it remains to be seen though. There was even talk of a civil war kicking off. Apparently he thinks he's that damn special. 😆
DeleteLol 😂 maybe in Florida. Santos said he’s not gonna extradite him.
DeleteMr. T. Is now setting his pants, I don't think they will let him use Orange make up, in jail. Yet the mf wants to run for President again 😂.
DeleteHe is the only one in history that fired his staff, for not jumping on board to his wierd views. Yet when he was ousted from another term, he cried like a 🍼 baby .
Jail the trash scum Trump.Its taking too long.But better be sure than not.
DeleteEsta bien PENDEJO Felipe Calderon. Lo que sucede en México es lo que tú dejaste. Abriste la puerta y armaste al crimen organizado. AMLO es por mucho mejor Presidente de México
