This article is kinda interesting, in a tragic sort of way.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/police-cartel-dominated-mexican-city-225129489.html
It explains how the Mexican Army has taken away weapons from the local police force in cartel controlled Sinaloa. This has happened before when the Army suspects local cops have become corrupt.
What gets me is how the government is no longer truly in control of the country. .
And this is not really so different than what I see happening in this country, where we have a minority faction attempting to take over and control the masses in a way that goes against the traditional government ways. Doctoring up elections through voting tabulation restrictions, loading up judges, lawfare to escape justice, and then the all important misinformation campaigns of Foxnews, social media, et al.
What's to stop radical reconstruction of the US should this minority take over once again?
Did anyone see Sunday's 60 Minutes, where the Russian politician freed by Biden's deal (with Germany and Russia) explained how Putin is a murderer? This is what happens when a minority rules against the will of the people.
In Mexico, the minority is the cartels. They murder.
What is the solution?
I see none.
We are extremely lucky we don't have internal strife to such an extent.
But I could see it happening.
It started with the un-peaceful transition of power on Jan 6. The history books may show that as very key date many decades from now.
Perhaps that's the type of skirmish that occurred in 1770: Boston Massacre. It wasn't until 5 years later that we had the "shot heard round the world" at Lexington. Treaty of Paris 1783. These things evolve over time, and when you're in an era, you can't see clearly what's happening.
Mexico is definitely in an era!
The US in in an era!
East-West "order" is in an era.
Politicians of the world need to steer as best they can in order the deliver their respective "us" into a better future than today.
Morning thoughts…
Comment if you will.
