FUTURE FAILED STATE ON OUR BORDER

With Mexico on the verge of becoming a net importer of oil, their gravy train has dried up. No more free shit. Drug cartels roam freely. The politicians are corrupt or cowardly. Turmoil and chaos to ensue.

    Spent lots of time in central Mexico in the early seventies.

    I have a silver peso coin that was about the same size and value as an American half dollar at the time.

    Today it contains about eighty cents worth of silver.

    Face value ten years ago was 1/200,000 cent.

    In Tlachachuka Pueblo with 12,000 population the only flush toilet was in the padre’s residence.

    Gotta say some souls are more equal than others……….Right Mr. Orwell?

    Thank God they can all get on food stamps. Then, come here and get on welfare. Obama would import the entire population if he could, and get them all on welfare (in addition to all the Mexicans already here on welfare). Millions more democrat voters, worth the price of transportation of the entire populous.

    This was kind of the subject of John Michael Greer’s post on The Archdruid Report last week:
    http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/2012/11/on-border.html

    Since Greer is someone completely unburdened by the handicap of looking at events through a partisan political lens and takes a pretty long historical view, the problem might just be more difficult and intractible than most people think.

    “FUTURE FAILED STATE ON OUR BORDER”

    That’s a very good title. Very accurate.

    Here’s another accurate title — “Future Failed State on THEIR Border”. eh?

    I thought you were talking about Canada – that place is fucked up beyond belief – no hockey, maple syrup prices are astronomical and it’s really, really boring. After you look at the Falls for 20 minutes, you’re ready to jump.

    “Since Greer is someone completely unburdened by the handicap of looking at events through a partisan political lens and takes a pretty long historical view, the problem might just be more difficult and intractible than most people think.”

    It’s an interesting thought problem. The cartels are very wealthy…but explosively unstable already. They could easily be bankrupted by some reasonable drug law changes here…which will eventually happen if we don’t have a societal collapse first.

    Then you do have the Mexican-American minority, growing like crazy…but also very addicted to Free Shit. Loyal to Mexican culture, yeah…but not so loyal to Mexico the country.

    Before Greer’s Mexican bandits become a real threat, a failing State in Mexico might make the U.S. likely to do some FURTHER land theft south of the border, rather than vice versa. Mexico could easily become a U.S. territory.

    Regarding Mexico’s claim to the American states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah and Nevada and the border dispute:

    Mexico did not become a nation until 1821 after it won its independence from Spain. By the time the War with Mexico started in April 1846, there were less than 100,000 Mexican citizens living in all of these states combined. (I think the estimated population is more like 75,000 really.) How many amigos is that per every 500,000 acres? And all the cities, roads and bridges that they built also….and in just 25 years1 Gee, that’s really impressive. And, of course, they checked with the native Indian tribes who lived in these states for hundreds of years first BEFORE they annexed this territory for themselves…right? So, we “stole” this land from Mexico? Did they lay claim to this land by decree only? Who did they steal it from?

    Did the US exist before or after the nation of Mexico? I forget.

    @ John A: Sweet!!!! Great historical analysis in just a few sentences. +10.

    Back in the 60s, I took a political science course where the textbook pointed out that the United States was the ONLY First World nation which shared a border, and a 2,100 mile border at that, with a Third World nation. The author forecasted trouble with immigration and unrest on the horizon. He was right. Oh my, was he ever right.

    Reading the headline…first thought is this about Canada?

    After all, the US is soon to be a ‘failed state’ or rather country.

    Yep! I bet I set a new record for red checks…lol. But, it is the truth.

    There are resources both north and south that the US covets. I think it is only a matter of time.

    Just returned from 33 day vacation on Nayarit, Mexico and while it is currently peaceful there, I still feel that it’s just a matter of time before the cartels have complete control over a majority of the politicians to basically control the whole country.
    In the mean time, the country is patrolled heavily by State and Federal police giving the appearance that all is well. I also noticed that these State and Federal police are extremely well equipped with much of our best equipment and most like with a combination of money from the US govt. and the Mexican cartels via the local politicians who spend that money to make it appear that they have everything under control and that things are back to normal; whatever their interpretation of that may be. The levels of corruption in Mexico are even more staggering now than in the past, and that was pretty bad. Sad to say, but our govt. is just as corrupt, if not more so, but not as apparent as yet to most casual observers.
    So, when the time comes, we will fighting for our survival as a country on two fronts instead of one. Gonna be really, really interesting folks.
