Love Mexico. Been living here for over 10 years. The Western media simply lies about Mexico because this serves Western Oligarch interest. For example, when the Western media tells everyone that Mexico is dangerous, this slows tourism revenue and artificially suppresses Mexican land/real estate value which allows Foreigners (corporations and other private cartels) to buy everything up pennies on the dollar. This is neo-colonialism; buying "real" value with "created out of thin air" US dollars.

Me too, Ramin, I used to read you on Saker, ( just listened to Kevin's interview) and have to laugh (at me, not the commenter;) "He quotes Marx, no thanks," except like most Americans, I haven't read Marx. My father did. He was a liberal. I blame Marx for what happened to Russia; your cinematic Dr. Zhivago Russia says my Samoan attorney from the back seat. I protest, but regardless I'd have wished another hour on that interview on innumerable points, hence .....here. So pleased, thank you.

Many thanks Elspeth!

Maybe don't take everything your Samoan attorney offers you, LOL!

So glad you're a fan of Kevin, too, and glad you found me here.

“Who on earth could get it wrong?” RUFKM? Howzabout most of Western MSM ‘storytellers’ - but if you’re referring to bona fide journalists such as yourself then I can concur and chuckle heartily at your sly wit. It is an amazing story and thank you for giving us folks in the western swamp details of the accomplishments of AMLO and the Morena Party. I worry about the assault on the Peso but maybe they can tighten capital controls to restrict the ability of ’hot money’ to fuel inflation and create other mischief. I have a hunch that the cartels will come to be partners with Morena and the national economy in a manner similar to VV Putin’s success in bringing the oligarchs to the table and becoming active and patriotic participants in Russia’s economic renaissance. Room for everyone to make money and elevate the standard of living for citizens. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! (Or make them an offer they can’t refuse ;^)

Thanks Ramin for your reporting. I wish all happiness, prosperity and success to the great Mexican People. Mexico gets a scientist/intellectual for president and we pathetic Americans get the awful choice of Dump and Genocide Joe. I'm attaching a (link) to a book that goes deep into the historical events surrounding US President Polk's THEFT of Mexican territory in the late 1840s. A worthwhile read:
