Well, it may be a few dates late, or a few years, but I've
finally started a journey I've wanted to travel for several years now.
Why I've paid such detailed to the events of Mexico is not
important.
What you should know is the simple fact that I have, I do
and I will continue to do so.
Without going into great detail, I will be the first one to
admit my "opinions" on the status and future of Mexico are far
different than the conventional "group think".
Who makes up my opinion of "group think" is also
not important and thus I will not discuss who or what group I disagree with.
My opinions on Mexico
are based upon strategic, big picture trends supported by localized events that
are far too often completely unnoticed or worse ignored north of the Rio River
So, enough with my disclaimer or justification statements
and let me get down to what is truly important.
What is it that I believe about Mexico and why is it important
enough to place my thoughts on paper?
Simply put, Mexico
and the events in Mexico
constitute the most important challenge to the overall social health of the Americas and
the clock is running.
Secondly; the enemies of the US and even its rivals understand
all too well the value of disruption on the doorstep!
Finally, as I end this initial step towards a very important
journey, let me state why I think the "group think" gang has it all
wrong!
Without naming agnecies are the politics behind agencies,
let me simply state it is impossible to "judge / predict" the overall
health, status of a nation by simply looking at economic indicators!
GDP..... Production... exports / imports ..ect...ect....
these are all key issue to those who are convinced these key trends shape the
social health of nation.
In the 21st century, a century that is being shaped by
Social Media at speeds expanding so quickly that governance cannot begin to comprehend what is taking place much less shape it's impact, the value of economic
indicators is nothing more than " old think"!
Assessing Mexico
is not an issue of economics.
The assessment of Mexico is a complicated mixture of
truth, perception and exploitation!
The inability to understand Mexico is far more dangerous than
just about anyone comprehends.
The days of the moronic viewpoint of, "oh well.. That's
just Mexico ...It's
always been that way" are over and
if they are not.... then the troubles we will see are far more complex than
anything we are dealing with in the Middle East or some far away place called
the Pacific!
