Communist Mexico?

Nearly 15 years after the collapse of the USSR, America could encounter what would have been unthinkable during the Cold War - a hostile, communist nation on our southern border. If the plans of the Marxist president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, are successful, America's neighbor to the south will become a virtual enemy camp.

For the past five years, Chavez has sent money and agents to Mexico to finance and infiltrate local political groups on the left, according to a Mexican news daily The goal is ideological -- pro-Chavez operatives want to dominate the increasingly powerful left wing in Mexico.

The Chavez strategy is in a critical phase. The Mexican presidential election is scheduled for July 2, 2006, and the favored candidate to win is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, a leftist who is currently leading his closest opponent, Felipe Calderon, by over ten percentage points.

Obrador claims not to have any affiliations beyond Mexico's historical political traditions, but his supporters include militant socialists who openly support the communist rebels in Colombia, a conflict which has taken tens of thousands of lives. Many others have developed a loyalty to Chavez and his particular brand of Marxism.

Chavez has borrowed from Lenin, Mao, and Fidel Castro of Cuba, among others, to develop "bolivarian" socialism, what is termed "21st century socialism," which, so far, looks very similar to other Marxist schemes. The term "bolivarian" comes from the name of the great South American liberator, Simon Bolivar, who defeated Spanish colonial forces in the early 19th century.

Should Obrador win, as many expect, a large number of his supporters will be communist militants willing to use force to bring leftist policies into reality.

To ensure that Mexico's version of "bolivarian socialism" has the ability to assert its will effectively, Chavez has already supplied "logistics" and "military training" to leftist rebel groups, according to the report.

In Venezuela, "bolivarian" supporters have been able to threaten and intimidate opponents by using weapons and strong-arm tactics. Mexico may be headed for a similar fate.

The prospect of a communist Mexico is only the latest blow to the U.S. in Latin America, once America's "backyard." The pro-terror Islamic Republic of Iran is a close ally of Venezuela, and may seek to share nuclear secrets with its Marxist ally. There are also reports that Venezuela may seek rocket technology from the Stalinist gulag of North Korea.

Venezuela's Marxist partner in the Caribbean, Castro's Cuba, recently played host to a top-level military delegation from China, led by General Peng Xiaofeng, who was the chief political officer of the PLA's nuclear forces.

Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Bolivia all have leftist governments with varying degrees of hostility to the U.S.

The media is ignoring the red tide sweeping across Latin America, and the federal government seems unwilling to respond. The situation becomes even more alarming in view of our inept policies concerning the control of our borders.

Let your representatives know what you think about these issues, which the established media fails to cover.

Keep an eye on the Grizzly Bear and the Dragon.

Exactly

[no-to-illegals]

Also, I regret that my generation has passed this mess to them to clean up

Your generation left nothing to clean up. I pronounce you, "NOT GUILTY"

Americans are Americans and by golly if they haven't PCed US to death by now, whoever they are don't stand a prayer.

[clamper1797]

There will still be a military coup

I hate to say it ... but that may be our last hope

[Thunder90]

The Elites are part of Lenin's "Useful Idiots" theory.

[Thunder90]

A military coup would also be responded to by a massive attack by the Russians and Chinese.

Totalitarianism is totalitarianism....communist or fascist.

Either way, the little guy loses.

Mr. Fox, open these gates! MR. FOX, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!...Nah.

[clamper1797]

That is inevitable IMHO

[Frank_2001]

It will be the first time we ever demand that a communist country BUILD a wall, rather than tear one down;)

They won't build a wall. They want to infiltrate as many agents into the US as possible.

In 1986, Nicaraguan defector Alberto Suhr related to U.S. reporters what he and other Sandinista cadres had been told by Tomas Borge, the Sandinista interior minister. Borge, a ruthless henchman trained by Castro's DGI, instructed his comrades: "We have Nicaragua, soon we will have El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico. One day, tomorrow or 15 years from now, we're going to take 5 to 10 million Mexicans and they're going to have one thing in mind - cross the border, go into Dallas, go into Houston, go into New Mexico, go into San Diego, and each one has embedded in his mind the idea of killing 10 Americans."

Lets send 100,000 M16's to Chechnya

The kids back and coming back from Iraq/Afghanistan are battle hardened.You think we don't have our warriors on the ground? It is going to be a mess.

"enjoyed it"

I'm glad someone liked it. It might have been the most absurd flick I've ever seen. Millions of Russkies are going to sneak into the U.S. ferried by thousands of planes escaping all our intel and detection. Sure.

[BellStar]

As Mayor, Lopez Obrador launched employment incentive programs, promoted public access laws and engaged in policies of fiscal austerity. He created social programs for the disadvantaged, children and the elderly, who had been neglected under previous governments. He professionalized the police department and brought former New York City Mayor, Rudolph Giuliani to help him reduce crime in the capital. HMMM!

It wasn't "Russkies" that snuck in

[redgolum]

Mexico has been more Marxist than anything since the revolution in the early 20th century. There was a reason (beyond Pancho) that we sent Pershing into Mexico at the time.

[driftless]

Who was it then? If I recall lo those many years, there were contingents of Russky soldiers. Am I right?
