The disappearance of 43 students in Mexico, made possible by the deep corruption of politicians and police, has rocked the nation in ways not seen since 1968.<\/p>\n
Como ahora, en aquel entonces las protestas estudiantiles contra los fracasos y la corrupci\u00f3n del Estado llegaron a un punto de ruptura: chispas de rebeli\u00f3n y un rechazo social del podrido status quo mexicano.<\/p>\n
La noticia de que la polic\u00eda municipal de Iguala, Guerrero, por \u00f3rdenes del corrupto alcalde, secuestr\u00f3 a 43 estudiantes universitarios y los entreg\u00f3 a sicarios de un c\u00e1rtel del narco, abri\u00f3 de golpe las compuertas a protestas en todo el pa\u00eds y a un rechazo general del gobierno. Porque esto revela, con absoluta claridad, que el Estado mexicano es tan corrupto que no hay diferencia entre los pol\u00edticos, los polic\u00edas y los narcotraficantes. Todos est\u00e1n en el mismo juego sucio del dinero, la violencia y el crimen.<\/p>\n
Porque cuando la clase pol\u00edtica traiciona a la juventud y la polic\u00eda traiciona sus juramentos, se vuelven criminales con otro nombre, c\u00f3mplices del crimen.<\/p>\n
Son una prueba de que, bajo el neo-liberalismo, el propio Estado est\u00e1 en venta al mejor postor.<\/p>\n
Y si crees que un simple alcalde orden\u00f3 el asesinato de decenas de estudiantes s\u00f3lo con su palabra\u2026 \u00a1Te vendo barato un puente en Brooklyn!<\/p>\n
Esto apunta a un sistema de corrupci\u00f3n que sigilosamente se mueve penetrando todo el sistema del gobierno mexicano. El periodista norteamericano, John Gibler, en su libro, Morir en M\u00e9xico (Morir en M\u00e9xico: cr\u00f3nicas de la narcoguerra, Sur+ Ediciones, 2012), explica c\u00f3mo la corrupci\u00f3n en este pa\u00eds es sist\u00e9mica, donde los c\u00e1rteles del narco en realidad gobiernan estados enteros.<\/p>\n
Gibler describe las dimensiones de la llamada “guerra contra las drogas” en M\u00e9xico y la omnipresencia del miedo que resulta de esa guerra:<\/p>\n
EN LAS ZONAS DE BATALLA de la narcoguerra, all\u00ed donde los soldados enviados a las calles para \u201cevitar que las drogas lleguen hasta tus hijos\u201d matan ni\u00f1os, donde el m\u00e1s cruel de los sicarios se llama La Barbie, donde los polic\u00edas dicen que no investigan casos de homicidio porque tienen miedo, donde las ambulancias no recogen gente con heridas de bala por miedo de que los matones regresen a terminar el trabajo en el camino, en un lugar donde este tipo de incongruencia es la norma\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
En M\u00e9xico, los c\u00e1teles del narco compran y controlan a gobernadores, alcaldes, otros pol\u00edticos y departamentos enteros de polic\u00eda.<\/p>\n
Todos trabajan para ellos, para los carteles.<\/p>\n
Esto explica y hace posible el ataque, los \u201carrestos\u201d y la masacre de los estudiantes universitarios de Ayotzinapa que fueron a protestar a Iguala. Cuarenta y tres j\u00f3venes.<\/p>\n
Lo que estamos viendo es sencillo: terrorismo de Estado.<\/p>\n
Then, as now, students protesting the failures and corruption of the State became breaking points \u2013 the sparks of rebellion, and social rejection of the rotten status quo.<\/p>\n
With the news that local police in Iguala, Guerrero State, under orders of the corrupt mayor, kidnapped 43 students and delivered them to hitmen for a drug gang, the gates have burst open to national protest and widespread contempt for the government.<\/p>\n
For it reveals, in stark clarity, that the State is so corrupt that there is no difference between politicians, cops and drug-dealing gangsters. They\u2019re all in on the same game of money, violence and crime.<\/p>\n
They are brothers.<\/p>\n
For when the political class betrays the youth, and the police betray their oaths, they are but criminals by another name, aiders and abettors of crime.<\/p>\n
They show that under neoliberalism, the State itself is for sale to the highest bidder. And so are gangsters.<\/p>\n
For capitalism buys all, and therefore, it corrupts all.<\/p>\n
But if you think a mere mayor ordered the liquidation of dozens of students on his own say-so \u2013 well- I\u2019ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn!<\/p>\n
This points to a system of corruption that ripples throughout the entire government.<\/p>\n
American journalist, John Gibler, in his book, To Die in Mexico, (To Die in Mexico: Dispatches from Inside the Drug War (City Lights, 2011), details how corruption in Mexico is indeed systematic, where drug cartels actually run whole states in Mexico.<\/p>\n
Gibler explains the dimensions of the so-called \u2018drug war\u2019 in Mexico, and its resultant pervasiveness of fear:<\/p>\n
In the battle zones of the drug war, where the soldiers sent into the streets to \u201ckeep drugs from reaching your children\u201d shoot kids instead, where the cruelest of hired killers is called the Barbie, where police will tell you that they do not investigate murder cases because they are afraid, the ambulances will not take people with bullet wounds to the hospital for fear that the killers will return to finish their victims off enroute, in a place where such incongruity is the norm\u2026.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In Mexico, drug cartels buy, and won, governors, mayors, other politicians and entire police departments.<\/p>\n
They work for them.<\/p>\n
This explains, and makes possible, the attack, \u2018arrests\u2019, and massacre of college students from Ayotzinapa, who came to Iguala to protest. Forty-three young men.<\/p>\n
What we\u2019re looking at is simple: state terrorism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
