The drive-by media does it again. Mexico City has almost 30 million people. If there were 280,000 and even if 400,000 it's a total joke. A whopping 1.3% (if there were 400,000) of the population of Mexico City turned out to scream and holler. Of the 41,000,000+ who voted...it is only .975% of those who are protesting. Boo hoo!
Looks like more that 400,000 protesting to me. More like 600,000. They are protesting over massive voting fraud by the drug cartel controlled government of Mexico.
The Zapatistas are revolutionary Marxists. They are armed with AK-47 assault rifles. They are engaged in a war against the corrupt Mexican government. Zapatistas are funded and armed by the Chinese. Sad to say, but the Zapatistas are one group in Mexico opposed to the drug caretls. Today. After they take power, however, they will play the same games as Castro. Corruption breeds more corruption. It all comes down to money.
This explains our border problems more than anything. Think about this complex political upheaval a bit more deeply.
What fraction turned out for the Bolsheviks when they usurped the Revolution against the Czar?
