A few days ago, in the state of Veracruz, left wing politician Celestino Rivera Hernandez was caught in the act of sodomizing and raping a 12 year old boy that he had picked up on the street. Celestino is a “respected” pillar of his community, but he had done this before. No less than 5 [...]
AMLO today said in an interview that “I am the President, by a popular majority”… where is all his bitching about having “moral authority” and avoiding proclaming anything before the election tribunal releases a verdict? He was actually first in proclaiming himself president on the 2nd of July. Around 30 minutes later, Calderón did the same. Would he have done it, hadn’t AMLO gone out in media, saying that he had won? Who knows. I personally don’t think so. Actually, AMLO is the only of the candidates that has said “I am the president”. Calderón has said “as president, I will…..”, just in line with what all the candidates said during the campaigns.
AMLO has no moral authority to do anything. No polls have shown him as a winner. Not one. Well, except his own, which he won’t release. Funny guy. Just like he said he was leading with 10 points a week before elections, although no other polls showed those figures… I just wonder when his sheep will begin to see the light and leave this big time loser.
What AMLO wants is full, violent confrontations. It is up to AMLO’s followers to try to keep the cool, and also up to PAN-followers to keep from falling into the traps of these vicious psychopaths, trying to provoke violence… All can be solved without violence, even though AMLO-people don’t think so. Something clearly seen on this and many other blogs. The confrontation tactics of these low lifes basically reside in insulting people, threatening them, and bashing without any arguments..

Hi!
Me again…Enrique.
I don’t think you are to go away with all the stuff you are blogging about Mexico.
I do believe you know very little about the situation in Mexico, that that will be the only answer to your poor view of the thing all together.
However, it is nice to know that an anglo saxon (?) is interested so much about Mexican politics. I am sure you are a very special guy…or a very suspicious one!
So, I will try to refute your un-informed view of Mexican politics as often as I can.
In this case, just to tell you that you has been as bias or even more than senderodelpeje in general and also, I would say that you have all the profile (at least in text) of being quite conservative and right wing positioned. I am sure you are an acefalous comsumer willing to ignore everything as far you get what you THINK you want. Any way.
Have a nice day today as well!
Enrique
First of all, I thank you Enrique, for not using insults and childish language. It’s nice to see you don’t hide behind some bogus name… Maybe this is bogus, too, but at least it’s easier to talk with someone whose name isn’t fuck@you.com or some other childish name.
First of all, why should I “go away” with all I write about Mexico? I am in my very right as a Mexican citizen to say whatever I want and think about the situation here.
Misinformed? Poor view? That’s a really subjective view. I don’t think I’m misinformed or that I am uninformed. I was born here, live in Mexico and have done so for a very, very long time. Anglo-Saxon? More like Germanic, I would say, but that’s not important. My sources of information are probably the same you have. Mexican news, newspapers (not only Reforma, as you might think).
Let me remind you that I live here, as opposed to you. You said you have lived for a long time in Amsterdam, which might account for your “mis-information” about the situation here.
As for what you say of me being “right wing”, I don’t think that is true. If you read my posts from the beginning you will see that my anti AMLO stance has been growing since the elections. Who I voted for? Well, the vote is secret but I can tell you that it wasn’t for any of the big 3. Before the elections, I was willing to give AMLO a chance. He was not my favorite, but thinking he might have 40-50% of the total vote (which resulted being just propaganda from his side), he would be morally entitled to lead this country. This didn’t happen and he started acting in a way that reminds me of far more dangerous political figures than what I think Calderon might be.
I think that wat bothers me most about AMLO is his way of covering himself in “teflon”. He can say one thing and then the next moment say he didn’t say it or that it was taken out of context, etc. He seems to me to be a highly unstable and unreliable person. The fact that he surrounds himself with people like Marcelo Ebrard and Camacho Solis – who is well known for his role in earlier election fraud and has been at least suspected of being somehow involved in the murder of Colosio – shows (to me) that AMLO’s supposed interest in the “people” is more like an interest in power.
Regading senderodelpeje.com I just think that they shoot themselves in the foot everytime they don’t let people who don’t agree with them make their voice heard. Or anyone who does agree with them, for that matter. They act in a totalitarian controlling way as to what information they publish. That is – of course – their prerogative. As it is mine to publish whatever I see fit on my page. I’m just saying that it doesn’t look good that they can’t even answer two polite emails… I prefer rebutting comments from people who don’t agree with me, than just erasing their comments. What I don’t accept, is the publishing of personal information meant to harm me and my family. That is just cowardly and low life. The bogus stuff they (senderodelpeje.com) have on their page as “we are not PRD supporters”, “we are not militants”, etc. is really ridiculous. The refuse even to write about AMLO’s supporters going against him now for the blocking of Reforma. Besides, this Victor Hernandez, who owns the blog, is really insulting in the way he writes. He doesn’t see that using the same language as a non educated person (although I bet he is educated) lowers the impact that his blog could have on people who browse by it. Every reference he has to PAN or Calderón is full of the “f” word. It just makes me think he doesn’t use his brain as much as his fingers. A person I respect much told me once that using bad language is just a substitute for one’s intelligence. Of course you are allowed to use bad language from time to time, but using it all the time just shows that your normal vocabulary just isn’t enough.
Politics are complex. One leader can’t have 100% of the popular support. Not even 80 or 90 as some left wing leaders around the world might show off with (the reason I say left wing leader, is that I can’t think of any right wing leaders in the world leads a totalitarian dictature right now. If I come to think of one, I’ll edit this post, maybe Singapore or in some African countries). The fact that we can have this discussion shows that Mexico is on it’s way to something good. I don’t think, however, that AMLO is fit to be president. And I think he has acted more than strange in the last weeks. His showing of “fraud” videos that didn’t have anything to do with fraud, his public whining, and his way of saying that he won’t accept a non favorable election resolution no matter what, is a danger to democracy itself. And the fact that his followers are willing to do anything to impose their will over the will of a majority of Mexicans is scary. With a majority of Mexicans I mean >50% of Mexicans, since – regardless of whether Calderon won with 250 000 votes or AMLO with 500 000, a vast majority didn’t vote or voted for someone else. Add the non votes to the votes the other candidates received, and you will see that AMLO and Calderon each received around 21% of the vote. 79% of voters wanted something else… I think that is what the candidates should look at. That they didn’t have the support of 79% if registered voters, and that their job is to work for them rather than for the ones who voted for them. And when it comes to that, I believe Calderon is doing a way better job than AMLO.
Hope you have a nice day!
