This boilerplate excuse of the darlings of today's internationalist democracy. Mexico's problems are complex, and have as much to do with a defective economic system as a political. The 1994 peso devaluation sank the country's economy and it has never recovered. What's more, like all of Latin America, Mexico is mired in debt to the international banking cartel. Follow the money, as they say, and you will find those promoting so-called democracy.
Brazil is in the same boat as Mexico.
Having made the transition from military dictatorship to democracy several years ago, it is now the apex of the global economic crisis, its economy sinking rapidly, and its moneyed class moving in droves to fortified condominium complexes where they seek safety from gangs of kidnappers and robbers. Crime has become epidemic. Russia's economy has collapsed and people buy what they need by bartering. Home invasions, muggings, carjackings, blacks murdering whites as well as black on black violence, continue to increase. Last November the social and economic collapse of this once great country was dramatically described, not by a racist longing for the glory days, but by Alan Paton's widow.
