General Sergio Aponte Polito drops a bombshell
The General, who is in command of military operations in Baja and Sonora, just delivered a 21-page press release where he accused the Baja Attorney
General and the Baja Secretary of Security of orchestrating a campaign of
"smear, intrigue and slander" to have him removed from his command.
He said the campaign to try to pin the firing of the pistol in the Pampas Do Brasil restaurant in Mexicali on him goes right to the top. Aponte claims
that his success against drug trafficking and organized crime was causing all kinds of problems at the highest levels of state government (thereby
insinuating that the highest levels are corrupt).

Polito is the best they [ OK...who are they ] have to offer. He fights the fight and wins his skirmishes. He's doing all he is supposed to do, and
more. The guy is a dedicated warrior.
Unfortunatly, his adversary is his employer amongst others. The government gave free reign to the drug lords in the past with the agreement that they
leave their money in Mexico. De La Madrid did that because the day he took office the treasury was empty. His predecesor took everything and the new
president needed a national cash flow to stimulate growth.
The government turned a blind eye to the cartels. That was the agreement.
Salinas took over and spent six years sucking the blood out of the country.
Unfortunatly there were no checks and balances on the cartels and they grew in power to the point they are today. The government is no longer in
control of their benefactor and, in fact, the benefactor is in control of the government and key players in the government are on the payroll of the
of both, the government and the benefactor. This isn't news.
General Polito is good and powerful. He fights the good fight. He won't be around long because he's fighting the man with the hand that feeds him.
Showbiz will be over and he'll be replaced with a young turk with a bloodline closer connected to Mexico's needs of today. The need to protect
anonymity.
The president and some others may be good men with altruistic motives but, they stand alone in a country that is guided by drug cartels for their
profit. It works because the United States has a degenarate society that is like the crowd in the stands, watching and buying while Mexico
disintigrates.
Mexico, and the world I recently knew has crapped out. It's gone.

It simply amazes me how little this event is being recognized in the US (no press) or even most of the people on this board who live in Baja. It seems
to be way over their heads. This is the single most significant political event to occur in Baja since Colosio was assassinated in 1994. You could
very well wake up tomorrow to a whole new political reality in Baja. Polito has asked the federal government to extend his mandatory retirement date
out 15 more months. He was due to retire in November. The cartels and their government stooges have been counting the days until he retires.
The governor of Baja has called an emergency closed-door meeting of his cabinet that has been going on all day -- on a Sunday!

Because it is not our business ....
Remember the Mexican Gov't  does not allow us to particapate in their politics
of corruption ..
Their only interest in us is the money we spend here.
So, when the chit hits the fan, those of us who are not landholders in La Baja will just move on.
And they can just rot in the mess they have created over the last hundred years.

Would hate to have his job. "Dead man talking" seems to be the descriptive phrase.
Sad.

The phrase is "Dead Man Walking"
That's why his predessors just stole as much as they could and moved offshore.

CaboRon, No. "Dead Man Talking" is what I meant to say. Might be an original thought? Something that you appear to have a shortage of.

Article 29 of the Mexican Constitution: In the event of invasion, serious disturbance of the public peace, or any other event which may place society
in great danger or conflict, only the President of the Mexican Republic, with the consent of the Council of Ministers and with the approval of the
Federal Congress, and during adjournments of the latter, of the Permanent Committee, may suspend throughout the country or in a determined place the
guarantees which present an obstacle to a rapid and ready combating of the situation; but he must do so for a limited time, by means of general
preventive measures without such suspensions being limited to a specified individual. If the suspension should occur while the Congress is in session,
the latter shall grant such authorizations that it deems necessary to enable the Executive to meet the situation. If the suspension occurs during a
period of adjournment, the Congress shall be convoked without delay in order to grant them.

It also works becuase the Mexicans who could change Mexico for the better are in the USA and won't come back- evn to save their beloved Mexico.
They've decided instead it's easier to change the USA to make it the Mexico they always wanted. They voted with their feet.

The cartels ran them out too.
What a country. The birth of a Democratic Republic. The voice and will of the people....and all that nonsense. Democracy is having the vote. Power
is counting the votes. I wonder how involved the cartels are in that process.

Democracy is two foxes and a chicken voting on what's for lunch. The US is not a Democracy. It is a constitutional republic, as is Mexico. The
consitutution is a contract among the people that defines what powers the government has and what rights the people have, e.g. we can't vote to eat
all the chickens for lunch just because they are a minority.
The difference between the US and Mexico is that the US Constitution is real, Mexico's is just a piece of paper.

When you say "us" I guess you are referring the people here who are not Mexican citizens or married to Mexican citizens.
So, what about the rest?
