Thanks again for the great translation and analysis!

The author is very impressive--- this is a great analysis not just of Mexico and ObraGore right now but in its intellectual foundations and actual historical concrete results of the dark side of populism. Have you read him before? Do you know any other good conservative columnists in La Reforma?

After I read its wiki entry and went to the Reforma website, it occurred to me the paper was one of the new institutions that will hopefully make Mexico be able to withstand the phenomenon the editorial describes.

I have read more than one of Ezra Shabot's pieces at http://www.mexicoenpeligro.blogspot.com/. The individuals who run that site have posted a number of extremely interesting articles from the Mexican press, along with their own very well-informed individual commentaries. I first discovered them about three weeks ago after Googling a search for information on Venezuelan activists present in Mexico working for Lopez Obrador and I have been returning to the site ever since. The guys who run the site have a genuine passion for what they are doing and I am most impressed by their "real world" understanding of the dangers the radical left pose for Mexico. As for the Reforma newspaper, I do not subscribe to it, which is what would be necessary for me to follow Shabot's commentaries at great length, but I have been able to glean little bits and pieces beyond what I have read at the blogger's site I just listed by Googling a search that returns quite a bit on the guy. He's evidently very well known and maintains a rather high profile.

Do understand that even though I began my "Mexican election watch" as someone who was more informed than the average American, I have been undergoing an educational process all my own as I continue to monitor it. Learning about Ezra Shabot has been part of that process. I expect to learn more as I proceed.

There they go in protest at the nation's capital this afternoon, like the creeping crud of tax leeches that took over Washington D.C. long ago:
