Plan Cóndor 2.0: Tras el golpe en Bolivia, Trump declara a Nicaragua ‘amenaza a su seguridad nacional’ y apunta hacia México

Luego de presidir el golpe en Bolivia, los Estados Unidos declararon a Nicaragua como una “amenaza a la seguridad nacional” anunciando nuevas sanciones, al mismo tiempo que Trump designó a los carteles del narcotráfico en México como “terroristas” sin descartar una intervención militar.

Parte 4 -  Trump llama “terroristas” a los carteles mexicanos, no descarta ataques con drones

Mientras que no hay ninguna novedad en el hecho de que los Estados Unidos apunten contra los gobiernos de Nicaragua y Venezuela, Donald Trump está posando su mirada en el aliado de vieja data de los Estados Unidos: México.

En 2018, el electorado mexicano hizo historia cuando eligieron en avalancha a Andrés Manuel López Obrador. López Obrador, con frecuencia referido como AMLO, es el primer presidente de izquierda en más de cinco décadas. Apoyado sobre campaña progresista prometiendo un impulso al gasto social, reducción de la pobreza, combate a la corrupción e incluso la despenalización de las drogas.

En México, AMLO goza de mucha popularidad. En febrero tuvo un sorprendente índice de 86 por ciento de aprobación. Y se ha granjeado un apoyo amplio jurando combatir la ortodoxia capitalista neoliberal.

“El modelo económico neoliberal ha sido un desastre, una calamidad para la vida pública del país”, declaró. “La corrupción es la hija del neoliberalismo”.

Cuando reveló su Plan de Desarrollo Nacional, López Obrador anunció el fin de “la larga noche neoliberal”.

Sus políticas de izquierda han causado conmoción en Washington, que por mucho tiempo se ha apoyado en líderes neoliberales que le asegurasen una base laboral estable, barata y explotable, para mantener un mercado confiable de bienes estadounidenses y fronteras abiertas para capital estadounidense y corporativo.

El 27 de noviembre, un día después de que declarara a Nicaragua como una “amenaza a la seguridad nacional”, Trump anunció que su gobierno designará como “organizaciones terroristas” a los narcocarteles mexicanos.

Tal designación facilita el camino para la intervención militar directa de los Estados Unidos en México.

Trump le reveló esta nueva política al ancla de Fox News Bill O’Reilly en una entrevista. “¿Va a designar a esos carteles en México como grupos terroristas y comenzar a golpearlos con drones y cosas como esas?”, le preguntó O’Reilly.

El presidente de los Estados Unidos se negó a descartar esa posibilidad y otras acciones militares contra los carteles en México.

El anuncio de Trump al parecer sorprendió al gobierno mexicano, que inmediatamente convocó a una reunión con el Departamento de Estado.

Es particularmente irónica esta designación cuando se toma en consideración que los principales capos de los carteles mexicanos han tenido lazos de larga data con el gobierno de los Estados Unidos. Por ejemplo, los líderes de Los Zetas, un cartel que ostenta una brutalidad notoria, fueron originalmente entrenados en tácticas contrainsurgentes por los Estados Unidos.

A lo largo de la Guerra Fría, Estados Unidos ha armado, entrenado y financiado a escuadrones de la muerte en toda América Latina, muchos de los cuales han estado involucrados en tráfico de drogas. La CIA también ha usado dinero de la droga para financiar grupos paramilitares de extrema derecha en Centroamérica.

Estas tácticas también fueron empleadas en el Medio Oriente y el sur de Asia. Los Estados Unidos armaron, entrenaron y financiaron a extremistas islamistas en Afganistán en los 80 (del siglo pasado) para que combatieran contra la Unión Soviética. Los mismos yijadistas-salafistas que luego fundaron Al Qaeda y el Talibán.

Esta estrategia fue después replicada en las guerras de los Estados Unidos contra Libia y Siria. Omar al-Shishani (“Omar el checheno”), por ejemplo, fue entrenado por el ejército estadounidense y gozó de apoyo directo de Washington cuando combatía contra Rusia.

La administración de Barack Obama también supervisó una campaña bautizada Project Gunrunner (Proyecto Traficante de Armas) y la Operación Rápido y Furioso (Fast and Furious), en las que el gobierno estadounidense cooperó con el envío de armamento a los carteles mexicanos.

La periodista mexicana Alina Duarte explicó que con la designación como terroristas de los carteles mexicanos “están creando la idea de que México representa una amenaza a su seguridad nacional”.

“Should we start talking about the possibility of a coup against Lopez Obrador in Mexico?” Duarte asked.

“¿Podemos comenzar a hablar sobre la posibilidad de un golpe contra López Obrador en México?”, se preguntaba Duarte.

Destacó que los medios corporativos se han embarcado en una campaña cada vez más feroz para demonizar a AMLO, retratando al presidente democráticamente electo como un aspirante a dictador con sed de poder que supuestamente está destruyendo la economía mexicana.

En una entrevista a Max Blumenthal y Ben Norton, de The Grayzone, en su podcast “Rebeldes Moderados” (Moderate Rebels), Duarte discutió el tema de la interferencia estadounidense en la política mexicana:


Hoy en día se extiende en todo México una campaña silenciosa a propósito del miedo de que la oposición de derecha pudiera derrocar al presidente López Obrador.

El propio AMLO ha señalado públicamente los rumores, dejando claro que no tolerará ninguna discusión sobre golpes de estado.

“Qué equivocados están los conservadores y sus halcones”, tuiteó López Obrador el 2 de noviembre. “Ahora es diferente”, escribió AMLO, haciendo referencia al asesinato en 1913 al presidente progresista Francisco Madero, uno de los líderes de la Revolución Mexicana.

“No permitiría otro golpe de Estado”, declaró.

Hace unos meses, mientras se intensificaba el miedo a un golpe, López Obrador se ha ido más hacia la izquierda, retando directamente al gobierno de los Estados Unidos, reivindicando, además, una política exterior independiente que contrasta dramáticamente con sus antecesores obsecuentes.

El gobieron de AMLO rechazó los esfuerzos estadounidenses por deslegitimar al gobierno de Venezuela, poniendo trabas a los esfuerzos de Washington por imponer al activista Juan Guaidó como el líder del golpe.

AMLO le ha dado la bienvenida a Rafael Correa, el perseguido líder socialista ecuatoriano, y también fue el anfitrión del primer viaje del argentino Alberto Fernández en su primer viaje al exterior tras ganar la presidencia de su país.

En octubre, López Obrador incluso le dio la bienvenida al presidente cubano, Díaz-Canel, en una visita histórica.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

CIA had an agent at a newspaper in every world capital at least since 1977

Joel Whitney is a co-founder of the magazine Guernica, a magazine of global arts and politics, and has written for many publications, including the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. His book Finks: How the C.I.A. Tricked the World's Best Writers describes how the CIA contributed funds to numerous respected magazines during the Cold War, including the Paris Review, to subtly promote anti-communist views. In their conversation, Whitney tells Robert Scheer about the ties the CIA’s Congress for Cultural Freedom had with literary magazines. He talks about the CIA's attempt during the Cold War to have at least one agent in every major news organization in order to get stories killed if they were too critical or get them to run if they were favorable to the agency. And they discuss the overstatement of the immediate risks and dangers of communist regimes during the Cold War, which, initially, led many people to support the Vietnam War. globinfo freexchange...

Confirmed: Alex Jones' popularity rises after Infowars banning from social media

globinfo freexchange We wouldn't expect to be confirmed so fast on this. A few days ago in the article IT and social media supergiants have just made Alex Jones a hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience , we wrote that Alex Jones' wet dream has just become reality thanks to the combined move by Facebook, Apple, YouTube and Spotify to ban Infowars. These private IT and social media companies couldn't give a better gift to him right now. At a time where Infowars was going through a saturated period according to the best scenario, the corporate giants actually saved it with that stupid(?) strategy. Suddenly, a corporate branch of the liberal establishment gave real value to Alex Jones' awful performance, pretending to be the 'anti-establishment' hero - just like Donald Trump - and made him a real hero in the eyes of the ultra-conservative audience that has been brainwashed by his absurd conspiracy theories. Only a couple of days later...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

How normal human behavior became a false mental disorder epidemic

globinfo freexchange In the early nineties, an epidemic of mental disorder was sweeping America and Britain. It had been uncovered by a new system for identifying disorders. Psychiatry had been attacked for relying on the personal and fallible judgement of psychiatrists. But instead, a new objective method based on checklists had been invented. These listed only the objective symptoms, and deliberately did not enquire into why the individuals felt an anxiety. In the late 80s, nationwide surveys had revealed an incredible picture: more than 50% of Americans suffered from mental disorders. But at the very same, the drug companies had announced that they had created a new type of drug, called an SSRI, which they claimed, targeted the circuits inside the brain that were causing these malfunctions. The SSRIs were marketed under names like "Prozac". What they did was alter the amounts of serotonin that flowed across the circuit connections within the brain, and they...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Signals of an unsustainable future coming from Davos

Hyper-automation impact on unemployment rise - further shrinking of the middle class - creation of a working elite - substitution of saturated Western consumers with other emerging consumer tanks globinfo freexchange The general conclusions from the report The Future of Jobs , of the 2016 World Economic Forum, leave little room for optimistic thoughts about the future. They reflect what already most of us have realized: that the combination of the current socio-economic model with the rapid hyper-automation of production, lead to further imbalance and inequality in favor of the very few. As Stephen Hawking mentioned recently: “ If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the seco...
