UNITED STATES: OUR WORST ENEMY
|
||
|
|
==============================
|

|

(La Jornada, 10/6/96)

[Translation by Conspiracy Nation]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our greatest misfortune -- and we have had many -- consists in
|
||
|
|
being neighbors of the United States. The Monroe Doctrine
|
||
|
|
ordained that America was to be for the Americans and Europe for
|
||
|
|
the Europeans. Neither could interfere in the other's continent;
|
||
|
|
the United States was to counsel and assist, in a fraternal
|
||
|
|
manner, the former Spanish colonies. That generous guideline
|
||
|
|
soon was relegated to forgotten memory, with the appropriation
|
||
|
|
first of Texas and then later of half of our territory. Since
|
||
|
|
then we have suffered aggressions, and even today the fishing of
|
||
|
|
tuna and the export to the United States of iron, steel, cement,
|
||
|
|
and even the avocadoes and Mexican tomatoes (gift of Mexico to
|
||
|
|
the world) is prohibited -- all of that which competes with their
|
||
|
|
own products.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the Mexicans are racists, the Americans are moreso. They hate
|
||
|
|
the blacks and the Hispanic immigrants. They have fenced off the
|
||
|
|
frontier; at times they beat the illegal immigrants and deport
|
||
|
|
them, in spite of the fact that the immigrants perform labor that
|
||
|
|
the yankees disdain -- and that labor contributes to the growth
|
||
|
|
of their economy.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By now we are not friends of the United States, but its enemies.
|
||
|
|
If they have lent us money it is with the intention of charging
|
||
|
|
tremendous interest.

||

Gabriel Garcia Marquez has written *Historia de un secuestro*
|
||
|
|
[History of a Kidnapping], a terrifying book, and I ask myself:
|
||
|
|
Why do the Columbians suffer? They suffer because more than 20
|
||
|
|
million Americans are drug addicts. And Mexico itself seems to
|
||
|
|
be approaching a similar situation to that of Columbia.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
President Clinton has promised to militarize the Mexicans in
|
||
|
|
order to combat the drug mafias. This is ironic since the United
|
||
|
|
States cannot (or doesn't wish to) bring down its own mafias --
|
||
|
|
How are they going to teach us to do it? In Mexico, important
|
||
|
|
mafia chiefs have been apprehended, while in the United States
|
||
|
|
not one has fallen.
