Things That Should Be In The News But Aren't

Post by kybkh » Wed Apr 18, 2018 5:53 am

Mexico is officially a Narco-state. The drug cartels wield unimaginable power and have cash to burn. Hard to believe the NYT owner Carlos Slim could be the wealthiest man in Mexico and not be doing business with the biggest exporters in the country.

An explosion of political assassinations in Mexico has cast a pall over nationwide elections slated for July 1, when voters will choose their next president and fill a slew of down-ballot posts.

At least 82 candidates and office holders have been killed since the electoral season kicked off in September, making this the bloodiest presidential race in recent history, according to a tally by Etellekt, a security consultancy based in Mexico City, and Reuters research.

There are many things that should be in the news, the Mexico situation included. Sadly, our MSM has decided for us that anything (negative) Trump and anything Kardashians are more important.

So what would they do if Kim Kardashian were kidnapped by a Mexican cartel and Trump hired mercenaries to go in and rescue her?

The media would speculate that at least one of her kids was Trump's love child. Actually, they would claim that both Kim and Kim's children are all Trump's love children. He obviously slept with both Kim and her mom. Oh, and because Bruce (yes, I will still call that person Bruce) is a Republican, Trump must have had sex with him/her as well, both before and after the surgery.

The Kardashians will decline Trump's aid, and actively insult him so as not to look like they are friendly with him.

Trump will then call off the rescue mission and be demonized by the left for being a heartless devil for not helping.

Sounds like running for office is hazardous to your health in Mexico. Which pretty much consigns them to more of the same and no hope of reform.

Democracy is past the point of salvage there. The military has to take over and exterminate the cartels.

Problem is, is that the military is probably infiltrated with the cartel money as well. I doubt there is any important societal group in Mexico that is not somehow influenced.
