The Great Mexican Oil Takeover
June 28, 2008

Featuring Bush/Cheney, Blackwater, Halliburton, and Plan Mexico

Bet you have not seen this on your MSM news!

(Note: It will be helpful in watching some of these videos if you can understand Spanish. I’m sorry, I did try to get English versions, but several I could only find in Spanish. Don’t let this keep you from watching all the videos, some of them have English sub-titles and you can get the idea anyway, even if you don’t speak Spanish)

Videos and more on MagicStarER’s blog post.

Our administration is using billions of our money to outfit the Mexican police (Policia Federal Preventiva) and Military. Their supposed reason is to help the Mexican Government fight “Terrorism” and “Drug Cartels”. And they have introduced Blackwater Forces into Mexico to train Mexican forces and to support them in these efforts. But the REAL purpose is to repress and subjugate the Mexican people so they can steal their oil!!!

Halliburton (and probably other large oil companies) are quietly buying up Mexico’s oil as per a secret deal between G.W. and Calderon, which has not been authorized by the people of either country nor their congresses. The Mexicans are very rightly up in arms about this and vow to close down airports, take over all government buildings, hospitals, all transportation, and overthrow their government.

Mexico’s oil (PEMEX, or Petroleos Mexicanos) has been owned by the people of Mexico (through the stewardship of the Mexican Federal Government) since the early 1930’s. Its profits are intended for the benefit of the Mexican People in the form of hospitals, education, social programs, infrastructure, and housing. Felipe Calderon has no right to sell out the patrimony of the Mexican People!

The privatization of Mexico’s oil is on the same level as the privatizing of Iraq’s oil, as explained by Dennis Kucinich, below. It is theft. The worst part of this is that they are using OUR money to train Mexican police and military and to equip them to help the global corporate bastards repress the people and steal the oil. Even WORSE is that they have sent Blackwater into Mexico to subjugate the people!

Blackwater is a private corporation (Cheney’s private Army!!!) which is not answerable to the American People and not subject to our laws while overseas. This is the Bush Administration’s private army and does THEIR bidding! Just like Hitler had his own army not answerable to the German People!!!

We saw very clearly that Blackwater is above the law, when they murdered the 17 civilians on Sept 16, 2007, and received no punishment for it whatsoever; on the contrary, they received a 15 billion dollar contract from the Bush Administration to take over the “War on Drugs” in the US just a few days after the killing spree, and while the Iraqi government was insisting they be removed from their country. Basically, the Bush Admininistration REWARDED these mercenary murderers for killing Iraqi civilians!!!

I am so angry about this I don’t even know what to do. George Bush is way worse than Hitler ever thought of being!

1. That's why they had to steal the Mexican election -OUTSTANDING Post -k*r

This is the type of post that makes this place valuable.

I don't have to say another word other than, listen up, this is the deal.

When Bush goes, there need to be many others.

And we ought to stop griping about immigrants when we do everything we can, along with the
rest of the world to steal every single natural resource in Mexico at bargain prices.

In the link above, there is a link explaining why Blackwater needs the San Diego site so badly. Anyone who can help block Blackwater needs the information about Mexico and oil re: above links.

Everything is so much "nicer" without public scrutiny.

6. Hummm
The Merida Initiative, providing $500 million dollars in aid primarily to Mexican military and police forces, is now before Congress. Find out how U.S. taxpayers' money could wind up increasing impunity, corruption, and human rights violations in Mexico, while missing the mark in the battle against drug-related violence. much more here http://americas.irc-online.org/am/5118

8. When the Peso
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 07:22 AM by Daveparts
collapsed in 1995 the Mexican government couldn't cover their current accounts balance. Having only one thing of international value they put up proceeds of future oil revenue in exchange for loans from US banks.

Black water is there to protect American bankers oil already bought and paid for. Mexico as a nation is coming apart at the seams because of so called free trade. This must be hidden from the American public, 10% of the Mexican population has already fled, two provinces are in open rebellion from the central government.

A Mexican Army unit trained to counter the narcotics trade switched sides and became a narcotics gang. Mexico is now what the United States could become in twenty years.

10. Poppy has been stealing Mexico's oil for decades. Even when it was illegal.
Lots of money for insiders with connections...

In 1988, the financial newspaper Barron’s reported that the two Jorges — Bush and Díaz Serrano — used prestanombres (“name-lenders”) to hide Bush’s investment in Permargo from the Mexican government, skirting Mexican foreign-ownership laws. Barron’s also accused the Securities and Exchange Commission of destroying related documents after Bush became vice president in 1981.

11. How much of the 'violence' is perpetrated by right-wing groups?
Edited on Sun Jun-29-08 09:39 AM by formercia
...to help things along.

While we were busy watching Iraq and the glitterati, the Gang was out looting the planet.

Mesmerized by snail trails.
