Pay attention to the dates for the above-threatened actions revealed in the article, because they tell you everything about what is going on here. The period November 25 - December 1 is the presidential transition in Mexico City. In
yesterday's thread we addressed the possibility of an APPO-Lopez Obrador alliance working together to disrupt the presidential transition. Today APPO is sending the signal that it intends to do its part to provide the "provocation" (
provocación) the Mexican leftists continue to search for in their drive to mobilize their followers. Everyone knows that if violence erupts in Oaxaca between the federal authorities and APPO during that week that the true focal point of its impact will be in Mexico City where Lopez Obrador is trying to gather thousands to protest Calderon's taking office.
If Lopez Obrador can get his
provocación in Oaxaca, he can create really serious problems for everyone in Mexico City. That is the danger here.
Tempers are continuing to flare in Mexico City about the
PRD's warning not to hold the transition ceremony on the legislative grounds of San Lazaro. The PRD promised "to hinder at all costs the taking of office of Felipe Calderon as President of the Republic." There is real anger among the PAN delegates to the Congress and even the PRI members are beginning to speak in rather harsh tones to their fellow PRD legislators. There is just all kinds of stuff up in the Mexican press. But that's where the focus of what's going on is right now -- in Mexico City. Even with what you read of APPO in Oaxaca in the above article, it still comes down to playing a part in Lopez Obrador's challenge to Calderon's assumption of the presidency.

I hope there are no people are harmed. I hope the innocents are protected from the thugs.
This has gotten little coverage on Fox (the only TV news I watch).

Let's see what the Democrats can do with a Marxist revolution that close to home. It will be ignored, by all but this small group who reads these threads.
That's in my NEVER so humble opinion, of course.

Gee, the Communists are taking over in Venezuela, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, and now they are launching a revolutionary offensive against Mexico...and all we get out of the MSM are stories about "spontaneous" unrest supposedly rooted in fundamental social tensions. Big surprise.

Dear President of Mexico,
I thought it might be a good time to write you and ask for your advice.
Up here in the United States, we are having trouble with a group of people who believe that they actually own the country that we govern and control. They march in our streets. They commit crimes against our citizens and then demand that we not only capitulate to their demands but also compensate them for historical wrongs that happened only in their own minds.
As you can imagine, its an almost intolerable situation to deal with and it is very upsetting to the population at large and our ability to govern our own country.
I would love to know how your military campaign against these interlopers is going and whether you can provide us with any military advisors to assist us in accomplishing the same goal here in the United States.
I wish you the best of luck in gaining control of your own country as I pray that we gain control of ours.
Sincerely,
George W. Bush

Thanks for the news.
There is not a peep of this in the MSM.
You guys are the only channel for this news in America, although Liddy recognizes your work.
I will be very interested in developments over the next week.

Could you please add me to your Mexican Left Watch ping list?
Your reports are timely, insightful and comprehensive.... the LameStreamMedia is completely MIA.
It's an honor to meet a pioneer of the new cutting-edge-media :-)

There will be a demonstration
It will be crushed, at some cost.
The Leftists will call the demonstration off
The Government will call for calm and order and it will end
The Left will have their requisite martyrs, who will be on American TV to mark the first MSM coverage of this.
They will be back.

In other news, Mexican Lefties criticize Calderon for not pledging to do enough to change how monopolies still dominate (and I think help ruin) Mexico:

For once I'm in agreement with them!

Don't forget the recent ominous developments from Russia (er I meant Soviet Union) and China
