Un tren adormecido se arrulla con su propio ronroneo. No viene ni va a ninguna parte. O no importa. A bordo, una poblaci\u00f3n de grises, vivos de tan muertos, se adormece. En el \u00faltimo vag\u00f3n, 7 pasajeros solitarios, miserables sus vidas y sus ropas, se aburren y desesperan en sus asientos.<\/p>\n<p>Uno dice: \u201c<em>dar\u00eda lo que fuera por cambiar mi suerte<\/em>\u201d. La frase es una especie de idioma universal y los 6 restantes asienten en silencio. El largo y maltrecho tren entra entonces en un t\u00fanel, que mata los grises y agranda las sombras. La puerta se abre e ingresa un octavo pasajero, con su vestimenta gritando \u201cno soy de aqu\u00ed\u201d, y se sienta sin decir palabra. El t\u00fanel alarga la oscuridad.<\/p>\n<p>Algo como un trueno, una rama seca quebrada sin que una tormenta la venza. Unos ojos llameantes aparecen en la oscuridad. Habla la mirada de fuego: \u201c<em>Creo que no necesito presentarme. Cada uno de ustedes me ha invocado con o sin palabras, y a su llamado respondo. Su alma por un deseo. Pongan el precio<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Uno elige la salud, no enfermarse nunca. Sat\u00e1n responde: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d, recoge el alma del saludable y la pone en su saquillo.<\/p>\n<p>Otro opta por la sabidur\u00eda, conocerlo todo. El diablo musita: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d, toma el alma del sabio y la coloca en su bolsa.<\/p>\n<p>El tercero escoge la belleza, ser admirado. El rey del averno dice: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d. Y el alma del hermoso se acomoda en la alforja.<\/p>\n<p>El cuarto prefiere el Poder, mandar y ser obedecido. Lucifer suspira: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d. Y el alma del jefe es una m\u00e1s en su chaqueta.<\/p>\n<p>El quinto se\u00f1ala: \u201clos placeres\u201d, despertar la pasi\u00f3n con la sola voluntad. El demonio sonr\u00ede complacido: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d. Y el alma de hedonista se une a las dem\u00e1s en el oscuro gab\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>El sexto se yergue y elige la fama, ser reconocido y aclamado por todos. Satan\u00e1s no hace ning\u00fan gesto cuando declara: \u201c<em>concedido<\/em>\u201d. Y el alma del famoso es una m\u00e1s entre las otras prisioneras.<\/p>\n<p>El s\u00e9ptimo casi canta cuando dice: \u201cel amor\u201d. El Maligno suelta una carcajada mientras deletrea \u201c<em>c-o-n-c-e-d-i-d-o<\/em>\u201d. y el alma del amante queda al fondo del saco.<\/p>\n<p>El \u00e1ngel ca\u00eddo mira impaciente al octavo pasajero que nada dice y s\u00f3lo garabatea en una libreta.<\/p>\n<p>Luzbel endulza la voz cuando pregunta: <em>\u201c\u00bfY cu\u00e1l es tu deseo? Cualquiera te ser\u00e1 otorgado a cambio s\u00f3lo de tu alma pasajera<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El octavo pasajero se pone de pie y suelta en un murmullo: \u201c<em>Soy Dinero, compro las 7 almas de los infelices que en ti creyeron, y te compro a ti, para que me sirvas y obedezcas<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Y \u201c<em>el gran drag\u00f3n, la serpiente antigua que se llama el diablo y Satan\u00e1s, el cual enga\u00f1a al mundo entero<\/em>\u201d (Ap 12, 9), sonri\u00f3 taimado y sentenci\u00f3, antes de meterse \u00e9l mismo en la bolsa de las almas vendidas:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSea pues, se\u00f1or Dinero.

Escarabajo y Doctor en Econom\u00eda Selv\u00e1tica.<\/p>\n<p>Si la mayor de las artima\u00f1as del diablo es persuadir de que no existe, uno de los cimientos del sistema capitalista es convencer de que el dinero todo lo puede. Y el dinero es el amo y se\u00f1or de los gobiernos. En el dinero basan su proyecto de pasar a la historia como grandes transformadores. Pero\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Bueno, yo iba a tratar de explicarle que se viene una crisis econ\u00f3mica mundial, pero, adem\u00e1s de que no s\u00e9 mucho de econom\u00eda pol\u00edtica, parece que la realidad lo est\u00e1 haciendo y lo har\u00e1 con mejores argumentos y de forma m\u00e1s pedag\u00f3gica. A\u00fan as\u00ed, hay que tomar en cuenta que falta lo que falta.<\/p>\n<p>Y, tambi\u00e9n, hay que se\u00f1alar que lo que viene no es su culpa de este gobierno, ni de los pasados. Lo que se conoce como gobierno mexicano, tiene como \u00fanica responsabilidad, el creer y hacer creer que tienen alguna forma ya no digamos de detenerla, tampoco de paliarla.<\/p>\n<p>Las \u201cmalas decisiones\u201d, que un sector de la derecha des-ilustrada, achaca al gobierno de la 4T (la cantaleta de la cancelaci\u00f3n del aeropuerto en Texcoco, es la constante), no tienen nada que ver con lo que se viene. La consigna subyacente de ese fragmento de la derecha realmente existente, que se siente despechado y enga\u00f1ado, ser\u00eda: \u201cestar\u00edamos mejor sin L\u00f3pez Obrador\u201d, y suena, adem\u00e1s de poco original, falsa.<\/p>\n<p>Cualquiera que hubiera quedado (Meade, Anaya, el Bronco o Miss Xerox) se hubiera tenido que enfrentar a ese \u201centorno mundial adverso\u201d (as\u00ed dicen los <em>Think Tanks<\/em> del gran capital) y salir derrotado y buscando culpables. Y todos hubieran hecho y estar\u00edan haciendo lo que hace el gobierno actual: mentir y maquillar.<\/p>\n<p>Claro, hablo desde y de los pueblos originarios. Aunque estoy seguro que otros sectores podr\u00e1n decir si se han visto beneficiados, o no, con la pol\u00edtica econ\u00f3mica del supremo. Por no hablar de su pol\u00edtica social y el renegado fracaso del combate a la delincuencia.<\/p>\n<p>Es necesario entender que el desagrado que se manifiesta en ese tramo de la derecha, es ampliamente compensado por el sector restante (que es el mayoritario). Por no hablar ya del gran capital, que est\u00e1 m\u00e1s que encantado y satisfecho con las medidas que abonar\u00e1n el estallido y escalada de la crisis que viene.<\/p>\n<p>Imagino que esto les molestar\u00e1 m\u00e1s que si se\u00f1alamos que son lo mismo, pero, el balance hasta ahora, es que hubiera dado lo mismo que quedara uno u otro u otra:<\/p>\n<p>Hubieran iniciado festej\u00e1ndose a s\u00ed mismos; hubieran declarado solemnemente que un nuevo ciclo de esperanza, trabajo y bonanza iniciaba para el territorio que se encuentra al sur del R\u00edo Bravo y al occidente de Guatemala y Belice: hubieran repartido las mismas limosnas aunque con otro nombre; se habr\u00edan desdicho de no pocas cosas que hubieran prometido en campa\u00f1a; hubieran achacado al rencor y la envidia, las cr\u00edticas que se les hicieran; hubieran hecho llamados a la unidad y al patrioterismo, se hubieran postrado igual ante los designios, bravatas e insultos del capataz que, en el norte revuelto y brutal, babea; y habr\u00edan adjudicado sus errores al \u201centorno internacional adverso\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Todos, como el actual supremo, basar\u00edan su plan de gobierno en el dinero. Sus discrepancias est\u00e1n en que el supremo piensa que con lo del ficticio \u201ccombate a la corrupci\u00f3n\u201d, basta y sobra hasta para colgarse medallas de otros, otras, <strong><em>otroas<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cPero la 4T no roba\u201d, alegar\u00e1n. Pero a\u00fan ah\u00ed, para todos esos amantes de los matices, hay niveles, como leer\u00e1 usted m\u00e1s adelante, en otro texto\u2026 si es que llega a publicarse.<\/p>\n<p>Voy a se\u00f1alar algunos hechos sobre lo que no son posibles esos \u201cmatices\u201d que se se\u00f1alan. Hechos que demandan una posici\u00f3n clara. No recurro a las redes y sus \u201cfake news\u201d, ni a las columnas pro y contra (a cual m\u00e1s de lamentable) en prensa; tampoco a la prensa tildada de \u201cfif\u00ed\u201d (tuve que eliminar como fuente al semanario Proceso al que, de un eructo del supremo, se le borr\u00f3 toda una historia de labor e investigaci\u00f3n period\u00edstica dif\u00edcil de igualar por otro medio). As\u00ed que me he circunscrito a las declaraciones y hechos reportados en las p\u00e1ginas electr\u00f3nicas gubernamentales (ma\u00f1aneras y templetes incluidos), y a lo reportado en la prensa \u201cque s\u00ed apoya\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, claro, de la investigaci\u00f3n \u201cin situ\u201d, en el terreno en el que nos movemos: el Chiapas rural. Usted puede desconfiar, y con raz\u00f3n, de lo que a esa parte se refiere. Puede ser que todo no sea sino un invento para sabotear al supremo. Dude, s\u00ed. Y si quiere salir de dudas puede recurrir a dos cosas: investigar si lo que decimos es cierto o esperar a lo que va a pasar. La desventaja de la primera opci\u00f3n es que el periodismo que investigue la veracidad o falsedad de lo que leer\u00e1 a continuaci\u00f3n, pasar\u00e1 a las filas de los conservadores (aunque \u201cmatice\u201d y no refleje la realidad brutal de lo que ac\u00e1 pasa). La segunda, es esperar a que el tiempo nos d\u00e9 la raz\u00f3n o nos desmienta; pues, mire, aqu\u00ed entre nosotros, nosotras, <strong><em>nosotroas<\/em><\/strong>, la verdad es que \u201ctiempo\u201d es una de las cosas que no tienen all\u00e1 arriba. Pero, en fin, si\u00e9ntase usted en la libertad de desconfiar de la realidad de ac\u00e1, \u00bfpero desconfiar de la realidad que usted vive y padece, no le parece suicida?<\/p>\n<p>Hechos:<\/p>\n<p>.- El tono festivo del supremo en sus reuniones con los representantes del poder econ\u00f3mico de M\u00e9xico y del Mundo. Y el tono irritado e intolerante cuando recibe reclamos o demandas de la gente com\u00fan, sobre todo cuando es gente del campo. Ok, matice\u2026 pero la realidad le va a contradecir a diario. En el caso de los se\u00f1ores del dinero, es un cortejo que raya en lo obsceno, y que no se traduce en el respaldo real que se busca con ello. En el caso de los comunes, se entiende que el supremo \u201cno paga para que le peguen\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>.- La imposici\u00f3n de las filias y fobias propias de un tirano. Mire, yo lo entiendo, cada quien tiene sus querencias y sus des-querencias, ni hablar, pero nada da derecho, a nadie, de impon\u00e9rselas a la dem\u00e1s gente. Y cuando el supremo dice que tal y cual son unos tales por cuales, pues eso s\u00ed calienta, como \u00e9l suele decir, y, como lo ha demostrado el legislativo y el asesinato de Samir Flores, el deseo de agradar al supremo llega a cr\u00edmenes y desfiguros. S\u00f3lo los tiranos buscan r\u00e9plicas en sus gobernados, y as\u00ed le va a esa naci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>.- El trato a migrantes. Mire, lo puede ver donde quiera y puede usted decirse para s\u00ed: <em>\u201c\u00a1Horror!, \u00bfen qu\u00e9 pa\u00eds pasan esas cosas?<\/em>\u201d y pasa aqu\u00ed, en este pa\u00eds que se llama \u201cRep\u00fablica Mexicana\u201d. Y lo que sale en los medios \u201cque s\u00ed apoyan\u201d, no es ni una fracci\u00f3n de la pesadilla que se les ha impuesto a centroamericanos en la frontera sur. S\u00ed, tambi\u00e9n a africanos, caribe\u00f1os, asi\u00e1ticos\u2026 y mexicanos. D\u00edgame, \u00bfc\u00f3mo se distingue una persona chiapaneca de una guatemalteca, hondure\u00f1a o salvadore\u00f1a? \u00bfEn que no tienen papeles? Vamos, pregunte usted en el INEGI o en el INE, cu\u00e1ntos mexicanos no tienen papeles en el sureste mexicano. \u00bfQue canten el himno nacional? Los agentes de migraci\u00f3n no se lo saben y, al parecer, el supremo tampoco, por eso se pone de tapete del Trump. El otro que se quiere colar a la grande en 2024, el Marcelo Ebrard, dice que se est\u00e1 aplicando la ley, pero ninguna ley dice que \u201c<em>todas las personas que sean bajas de estatura, sean de tez oscura, no hablen espa\u00f1ol o lo hablen con acento, ser\u00e1n detenidas y demandadas de presentar documentos que acrediten su ciudadan\u00eda mexicana; las detenciones podr\u00e1n ser realizadas por elementos militares, polic\u00edacos (incluidos agentes de tr\u00e1nsito) o de migraci\u00f3n y no requerir\u00e1n de traductor, defensor\u00eda de derechos humanos, o cualquier obst\u00e1culo que le impida al supremo cumplir con la cuota de detenciones comprometida con el amigo Donald Trump<\/em>\u201d. Ok, no le crea a la televisi\u00f3n mala, cheque la prensa \u201ccomprometida con la causa de la 4T\u201d. \u00bfYa? Ok, ahora trate de \u201cmatizar\u201d esa pesadilla.<\/p>\n<p>.- El modo y el tono servil y rastrero frente al gobierno norteamericano. De esto ya se hablar\u00e1 luego, pero, disculpe, no recuerdo a un gobierno federal que se haya portado, p\u00fablicamente, tan indigno con un gobierno extranjero. \u00bfEl supremo tiene el aval de una consulta a mano alzada en un lugar donde reparti\u00f3 apoyos? Bueno, si \u00e9se es su argumento para \u201cmatizar\u201d, suerte.<\/p>\n<p>.- La derrota del laicismo. Desde que el Salinas malo, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, en acuerdo con el alto clero cat\u00f3lico, abri\u00f3 las puertas para que la religi\u00f3n diera sus primeros pasos en asuntos de Estado, pasando por el hacerse pato de Zedillo, las genuflexiones de Vicente Fox, el mocho de Felipe Calder\u00f3n y el uso medi\u00e1tico de Pe\u00f1a Nieto, la militancia religiosa del supremo actual es indefendible. Y es algo que, lo que queda de Naci\u00f3n, habr\u00e1 de pagar muy caro\u2026 y no a los plazos c\u00f3modos de las tiendas Elektra.<\/p>\n<p>.- El impulso y aceleraci\u00f3n de los megaproyectos y la destrucci\u00f3n de territorios de los originarios. El argumento de que son obras ya avanzadas, no vali\u00f3 para Texcoco. El se\u00f1alamiento y descalificaci\u00f3n, por parte del supremo, de la oposici\u00f3n a la termoel\u00e9ctrica en Morelos le cost\u00f3 la vida a nuestro compa\u00f1ero Samir Flores Soberanes. En t\u00e9rminos de las p\u00e1ginas \u201crojas\u201d o \u201cpolic\u00edacas\u201d de la prensa eso se llama \u201cponer a la v\u00edctima\u201d. No importa qu\u00e9 digan y c\u00f3mo quieran justificarse, cargar\u00e1n con su muerte. Vaya pues, matice: el supremo no jal\u00f3 el gatillo. S\u00ed, Trump tampoco.<\/p>\n<p>.- El aliento al individualismo y la confrontaci\u00f3n con la comunidad. Con el argumento del \u201ccombate a la corrupci\u00f3n\u201d se pretende que la entrega de apoyos (dinero, pues) a individuos es m\u00e1s efectiva. En primera, si es que hay corrupci\u00f3n en organizaciones campesinas, no gubernamentales, etc., se deben se\u00f1alar qui\u00e9nes, cu\u00e1nto, d\u00f3nde. La omisi\u00f3n es complicidad (si no, preg\u00fantenle a la Robles). Si no tienen empacho en acusar desde el templete a medios y periodistas \u201cporque mi pecho no es bodega\u201d, entonces deben decir claramente, por ejemplo, \u201c<em>la direcci\u00f3n de la CIOAC \u2013tienen que aclarar cu\u00e1l de todas las CIOAC\u00b4s, la de asesinos o las otras-, se est\u00e1 transando tanto de paga. Ya, se acab\u00f3, que se queden con lo transado y borr\u00f3n y cuenta nueva<\/em>\u201d; o \u201c<em>en la guarder\u00eda tal que se ubica en tal lado, se est\u00e1n comiendo los cornflakes y bebiendo las Lalas que eran para los escuincles<\/em>\u201d; o \u201c<em>en la guarder\u00eda tal reciben ni\u00f1os y ni\u00f1as producto del pecado de la carne y la concupiscencia, y el Se\u00f1or dijo que no yacer\u00e1s sin firmar un pacto de no agresi\u00f3n y frialdad sensata<\/em> (\u201cmatrimonio\u201d, creo que le dicen)\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora que en el caso del campo, el problema no es s\u00f3lo que se individualice la entrega. Ok, si los miembros del gabinete del campo, y asesores que lo acompa\u00f1an, no tienen imaginaci\u00f3n y s\u00f3lo pueden optar entre la entrega a organizaciones gestoras o al individuo, se entiende, por algo est\u00e1n en el gobierno. Pero \u00a1elegir a un banco como veh\u00edculo de las bendiciones de la 4T!. Porque la \u201cforma\u201d que eligieron tiene como beneficiario directo al \u201ccoyote\u201d o intermediario: Banco Azteca, del Grupo Elektra, en el caso del programa \u201cSembrando Vida\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Las declaraciones del supremo son que se dan $5,000.00 (-cinco mil pesos m\/n) a los campesinos que le entran a ese programa. Falso. Al campesino se le entregan m\u00e1ximo $4,500.00 (y en algunos casos s\u00f3lo $ 4,000.00).<\/p>\n<p>La raz\u00f3n, se dice, de que s\u00f3lo se le entreguen $4,500 es que los otros $500 se van a un fondo de ahorro. El destino de ese fondo de ahorro es incierto. A los beneficiarios les dicen que son \u201cpara los viejitos\u201d; o que son para luego comercializar la madera y las frutas. Veamos: el cedro y la caoba, tardan unos 30 a\u00f1os en ser \u201ccomerciables\u201d, es decir, que vale la pena cortarlos y venderlos, pero el sexenio acaba dentro de 5 a\u00f1os. Si no me falla la aritm\u00e9tica, se necesitan 4 sexenios m\u00e1s para que, lo que se sembrar\u00e1 el a\u00f1o entrante (ahora est\u00e1n en la etapa de viveros), pueda ser comerciable. Se supone que durante los pr\u00f3ximos 29 a\u00f1os, los beneficiarios recibir\u00e1n cuatro mil quinientos pesos mensuales. As\u00ed que, o se asegura que el Bolsonaro-Macri-Moreno que ya acecha para relevar la administraci\u00f3n de la tormenta, se comprometer\u00e1 a mantener ese programa; o se trata de un programa transexenal que compromete el apoyo campesino a un partido pol\u00edtico.<\/p>\n<p>El asunto es que, en este movimiento de dineros, el banco retiene 500 pesos (y en algunos casos, mil pesos con el mismo argumento de que el campesino debe ahorrar) por cada \u201csembrador de vida\u201d. La encargada por el supremo para eso, habla de hasta 230 mil \u201cbeneficiarios\u201d. Eso ser\u00edan 115 millones de pesos mensuales que tiene ese banco a su disposici\u00f3n.\u00a0\u00a0 Usted puede acudir a su economista de cabecera y preguntarle qu\u00e9 es lo que los bancos hacen con los ahorros de los cuentahabientes.<\/p>\n<p>Ahora bien, en algunas sucursales de esa \u201cdesinteresada\u201d y \u201cfilantr\u00f3pica\u201d instituci\u00f3n que es Banco Azteca, se les dice a los campesinos que s\u00f3lo les entregar\u00e1n $4000, \u201cpara que aprendan a ahorrar\u201d. Si dado fuera que todos los beneficiarios tienen el instinto de ahorrar (tan apreciado en la cultura del dinero), entonces ser\u00edan 230 millones de pesos al mes, por 12 meses por 5 a\u00f1os a partir de octubre del presente. Pero digamos que no, y s\u00f3lo son 115 millones al mes (mil 380 millones de pesos al a\u00f1o, 6,900 millones de pesos en lo que queda del sexenio que no es sexenio). Si al termino del sexenio y en las elecciones presidenciales y legislativas del 2024, dios no lo permita, no queda el mismo supremo o un equivalente del partido oficial, el \u201cbeneficiario\u201d se convertir\u00e1 en \u201cperjudicado\u201d: tendr\u00e1 2 hect\u00e1reas y media in\u00fatiles porque ya no tendr\u00e1 la paga para remediar el haber perdido sus animales (se debe usar potrero), o su milpa (si se siembran los \u00e1rboles en acahuales de \u201crecambio\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, el supremo (con la bendici\u00f3n de sus asesores \u201cmatizados\u201d) est\u00e1 realizando una nueva \u201creforma agraria\u201d, apalancado en la iniciada por Salinas el malo (CSG). La condici\u00f3n, en una comunidad ejidal, para que se otorgue el \u201cSembrando Lata\u201d, es que los \u201cderecheros\u201d (los ejidatarios con derechos agrarios) le cedan a los \u201csolicitantes\u201d dos hect\u00e1reas de las que son su derecho. Esto quiere decir que la \u201cnueva\u201d reforma agraria 4T consiste en quitarle tierra a los que menos tienen, y \u201crepartirla\u201d. Por supuesto, adem\u00e1s de que eso ha permitido una nueva forma de corrupci\u00f3n, se han dividido las comunidades partidistas hasta llegar a las familias, confrontando a los hijos (\u201csolicitantes\u201d) con los padres (\u201cderecheros\u201d), peleas que escalan hasta las amenazas de muerte.<\/p>\n<p>En Los Altos de Chiapas, donde lo que hay son parajes y no se miden hect\u00e1reas sino \u201ctareas\u201d, la situaci\u00f3n ser\u00eda c\u00f3mica si no fuera tr\u00e1gica. El campesino en esa situaci\u00f3n, usa un mismo pedazo de tierra (\u201ctarea\u201d) para sembrar ma\u00edz, luego ah\u00ed el frijol, luego la verdura. Adem\u00e1s de que casi nadie completa las 2 hect\u00e1reas, si siembran lo que la <em>ideota<\/em> del supremo pretende, su peque\u00f1o pedazo de tierra estar\u00e1 imposibilitado para subsistir durante 20 o 30 a\u00f1os.

A drowsy train drifts off to its own purr. It isn\u2019t coming from or going to anywhere in particular. Or at least not anywhere that matters. A dismal population whose haggard lives seem to hang by a thread nod off on board. In the last car, seven bored, grubbily dressed and solitary passengers, their lives as wretched as their clothes, shift irritably in their seats and lament their situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>I\u2019d do anything to turn my luck around<\/em>,\u201d one says. They were speaking a universal language and the other six passengers nod in silence. Just then the long and battered train enters a tunnel, intensifying the shadows and hiding the passengers\u2019 faces. The door opens and an eighth passenger walks in. The passenger\u2019s clothes practically scream, \u201c<em>I\u2019m not from around here<\/em>,\u201d but they sit down without a word. The tunnel stretches out the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>A thunderous crack interrupts the silence, like a dry branch breaking but without a storm to blame. A pair of blazing eyes appear in the darkness: \u201c<em>I don\u2019t think I need to introduce myself<\/em>,\u201d the fiery gaze hisses, \u201c<em>You have all conjured me in one way or another and I\u2019m responding to your call.

The hedonist\u2019s soul disappears into the devil\u2019s bag.<\/p>\n<p>The sixth passenger sits up straight and pronounces the desire for fame, to be widely recognized and praised. \u201c<em>Done<\/em>,\u201d Satan declares without a pause, and the famous soul takes its place among the other prisoners.<\/p>\n<p>The seventh passenger practically sings their request for \u201clove.\u201d \u201c<em>Dooooooone<\/em>,\u201d the evil one replies with a guffaw, and the lover\u2019s soul goes into the depths of the bag.<\/p>\n<p>The fallen angel looks impatiently at the eighth passenger who hasn\u2019t said anything and is merely scribbling in a notebook.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Lucifer addresses the passenger, asking sweetly, \u201c<em>And what is your wish, traveler?

Beetle and Ph.D. in Jungle Economy<\/p>\n<p>If the devil\u2019s finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist, then one of the foundations of the capitalist system is to convince you that money can solve anything. Money is the lord and master of governments and the basis for their respective projects to go down in history as great Transformers. But\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Well, here I was going to try to explain that a global economic crisis is coming, but I don\u2019t really know much about political economy and besides, reality is explaining that point with better arguments and in a more pedagogical format than I could have.\u00a0 Even so, we have to take into account what else is coming.<\/p>\n<p>We should point out that what is coming is not the current administration\u2019s fault, nor that of past administrations. What is commonly known as the \u201cgovernment of Mexico\u201d has only one responsibility: to believe and make the rest of us believe that they have some way to ease the pain of what\u2019s coming\u2014note that they don\u2019t even pretend anymore to be able to stop it. The \u201cbad decisions\u201d that one sector of the unenlightened right attributes to the government of the 4T<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[i]<\/a> (the most commonly cited is the cancellation of the plan to build a new airport in Texcoco) have nothing to do with what is coming. The underlying message of this particular fragment of the actually existing right, which feels deceived and resentful, is \u201cWe\u2019d be better off without L\u00f3pez Obrador,\u201d a motto that is neither original nor true.<\/p>\n<p>Any other candidate who landed in the presidential office (Meade, Anaya, el Bronco, or Ms. Xerox<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[ii]<\/a>) would have faced the same \u201cadverse global environment\u201d (that\u2019s what big capital\u2019s think tanks call it) and come out defeated and looking for someone to blame. Any of them would have done exactly what the current government is doing: lie and cook the books. I am of course speaking from and for the perspective of the originary peoples, but I\u2019m sure other sectors could give their own grim accounts of whether or not they have benefitted from the political economy of the supreme leader, not to mention his social policies and egregious failure in fighting crime.<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the displeasure shown by this particular sector of the right is amply compensated for by the total satisfaction from the rest (and the majority) of the right, not to mention big capital\u2019s absolute delight with the administration\u2019s policies that lay the groundwork for the explosion and escalation of the crisis that is coming.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is (and I imagine this claim will bother them even more than if we had just said they\u2019re all the same) that the current situation would be exactly the same under the administration of any of those presidential hopefuls. Any one of them would have begun with a celebration of him or herself, solemnly declaring a new cycle of hope, jobs, and prosperity for the entire territory south of the R\u00edo Bravo [Rio Grande] and to the west of Guatemala and Belize. Any one of them would have distributed the same handouts, although under different names and slogans. Any one of them would have reneged on more than a few campaign promises and chalked up any criticisms to bitterness and envy. Any and all of them would have called for unity and patriotism, prostrating themselves before the plans, threats, and insults blabbered by the current overseer of that brutal and turbulent country to the north, and attributed their errors to an \u201cadverse international environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of them, just like the current administration, would base their governing agenda on money. The only difference is that the current administration thinks its fictitious \u201cfight against corruption\u201d is more than enough to earn praise that actually corresponds to others [<em>otros, otras, <strong>otroas<\/strong><\/em>]: \u201cBut the 4T doesn\u2019t steal!,\u201d they\u2019ll say. Even in that respect one could equivocate, as all those lovers of nuance will be able to read in another text someday\u2026well, if it is ever published. But for now I\u2019m going to point to a few facts upon which there can be no equivocation, facts which require that one take a clear position. For this task I haven\u2019t resorted to the social networks and their \u201cfake news,\u201d nor to the press columns written for or against (each more pathetic than the next), nor to the press tagged as \u201c<em>fifi<\/em>,<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[iii]<\/a>\u201d (I had to stop using <em>Proceso<\/em> as a source after a burp from the supreme leader erased an entire history of investigative journalism unmatched in other press outlets).<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[iv]<\/a> Thus I have limited myself to the facts and declarations reported by the government itself on its own webpages (including what has been said in public events and morning press conferences), and to reports by the \u201csupportive\u201d [uncritical] press.<\/p>\n<p>This is in addition, of course, to an \u201cin situ\u201d investigation in our own environment: rural Chiapas. One could legitimately express doubt about what we report from that investigation\u2014perhaps it\u2019s all just a ploy to sabotage the supreme leader. Go right ahead, doubt us. But if you want to address those doubts you can do one of two things: investigate whether or not what we say is true, or wait and see what happens. The disadvantage of the former is that any journalist who investigates the veracity or falsity of what you\u2019ll read below will join the ranks of the \u201cconservatives\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[v]<\/a> (even if that journalist \u201cnuances\u201d the account by playing down the brutal reality of what is happening here). With regard to the second option\u2014waiting to see if time proves us right or wrong\u2014well, look, the truth is that \u201ctime\u201d is exactly what those above don\u2019t have. In any case, while you should feel free to doubt our version of what is happening here, doesn\u2019t it seem suicidal to doubt the reality that you yourself see and experience?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facts<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the festive tone of the supreme leader in his meetings with the representatives of economic power in Mexico and the world compared to the irritated and intolerant tone he takes upon hearing the demands or reproaches of ordinary people, especially ordinary people from the countryside. Sure, you can try to \u201cnuance\u201d that, but reality will correct you on a daily basis. His courtship of the representatives of money borders on the obscene, even when it doesn\u2019t translate into the support he\u2019s seeking. With regard to ordinary people, well, the supreme leader \u201cdoesn\u2019t pay anybody to beat up on him.\u201d<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[vi]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the imposition of a tyrant\u2019s own enmities and affinities. Sure, I get that everybody has their likes and dislikes, but nothing gives anyone the right to impose those preferences on everybody else. When the president says so-and-so is a such-and-such, that has an effect on the population, and as the murder of Samir Flores demonstrates, the desire to please the supreme leader leads to crimes and distortions. Only tyrants seek copies of themselves among the governed, with predictable consequences for that nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the treatment of migrants. Look around and you could say to yourself, \u201cTragic! In what kind of country do those horrors take place?\u201d But the truth is that they happen here in the \u201cRepublic of Mexico.\u201d What\u2019s more, what comes out in the \u201csupportive\u201d press on the subject barely offers a glimpse into the nightmare imposed on Central American migrants on the southern border. Yes, and also on Africans, on people from the Caribbean, on Asians\u2026. and on Mexicans. Tell me, how do you distinguish between a person from Chiapas and one from Guatemala, Honduras, or El Salvador? Whether they have papers or not? Okay, go ask the INEGI [National Institute of Statistics and Geography] or the INE [National Electoral Institute] how many Mexicans in southeastern Mexico don\u2019t have papers. Or is whether they can sing the national anthem? The immigration agents don\u2019t even know the national anthem, and apparently neither does the president, which is why he\u2019s so willing to be Trump\u2019s doormat. That other aspiring candidate for 2024, Marcelo Ebrard<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[vii]<\/a>, says that they are abiding by the law, but there is no law that says \u201ceveryone of short stature and dark skin who doesn\u2019t speak Spanish or speaks it with an accent will be detained and required to show documents proving Mexican citizenship. These arrests may be carried out by the military, police (including traffic police), or immigration agents and do not require the presence of a translator, human rights defender, or any other potential obstacle to the ability of the president to comply with the quota of arrests dictated by his friend Donald Trump.\u201d Fine, don\u2019t believe this \u201cfake news\u201d; look in the press \u201csupportive of the 4T.\u201d Did you check? Okay, now try to \u201cnuance\u201d the nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the servile, ass-kissing tone and behavior taken in front of the US government. We\u2019ll talk more about that later but honestly, I don\u2019t remember a Mexican government who has publicly groveled so shamelessly before a foreign government. If your argument justifying such indignities is that the supreme leader won a raised-hand referendum in a place where he had recently distributed government handouts, well good luck.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the defeat of secularism. With the support of the catholic clergy, religion first waded into state affairs during the era of the \u201cbad\u201d Salinas, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, progressing through the administration of Zedillo who sanctioned it by playing dumb, then through Vicente Fox\u2019s genuflections and Felipe Calder\u00f3n\u2019s prudish sanctimoniousness to arrive at the indefensible militant religiosity of the current president. What is left of the nation will pay dearly for this defeat\u2026 and not on an extended payment plan like you can get in Elektra stores.<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[viii]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take the implementation and acceleration of megaprojects and the destruction of originary people\u2019s territories. The argument that always gets dragged out about these projects being too far along to stop construction now didn\u2019t seem to matter in Texcoco. The supreme leader himself has justified the megaprojects, and his finger-pointing disqualification of the opposition to the Morelos thermoelectric plant cost our <em>compa\u00f1ero<\/em> Samir Flores Soberanes his life. In the crime section of the newspaper that\u2019s called \u201csetting someone up.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter what is said to try to evade or justify it, the government is responsible for his death. Go ahead, \u201cnuance\u201d that one: the president didn\u2019t pull the trigger. Yeah well, neither did Trump of course.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Take this administration\u2019s policies encouraging individualism and challenging the community. This administration has argued that distributing aid (cash) on an individual (rather than collective) level is more effective, since it will help \u201cfight corruption.\u201d First of all, if there is corruption within particular peasant organizations, NGOs, etc., then the government should say so: who, where, and how much. Omitting these details amounts to complicity (if you have any doubts about that, ask Robles<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn9\" name=\"_ednref9\">[ix]<\/a>). If this administration doesn\u2019t have any qualms about denouncing journalists and media outlets from its pulpit\u2014\u201cI\u2019m not one to keep things secret,\u201d as the president says\u2014then he should be able to state clearly, for example: \u201c<em>the CIOAC leadership\u2014and it must be clarified which of all the CIOACs, the murderous one or one of the others\u2014is skimming this much off the top of the cash distribution program. Enough of that, let them keep what they already swindled and let\u2019s start this over right<\/em>.\u201d Or, \u201c<em>In such-and-such daycare in such-and-such place, the people in charge are eating all the cornflakes and drinking all the milk that\u2019s supposed to be for the kids<\/em>.\u201d Or, \u201c<em>in this other daycare there are a bunch of children who were born out of sin and lust (wedlock), and our Lord and Savior said that one should not lie down with anyone with whom one does not have a pact of non-aggression and sensible frigidity<\/em>.\u201d (I think that\u2019s called \u201cmarriage.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>Now, in the case of the countryside, the problem isn\u2019t just individualized distribution. I mean, if the cabinet members and their aids who work on these issues have no imagination and can only conceive of either distributing to organizations or to individuals, fine, I get it, they are politicians after all. But to choose a bank as the mechanism for distributing the \u201cblessings\u201d of the government of the \u201cFourth Transformation\u201d! What this amounts to, for the rural aid program \u201cSembrando Vida\u201d (\u201cSowing Life\u201d)<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn10\" name=\"_ednref10\">[x]<\/a> for example, is that the most direct beneficiary of the program is the intermediary\u2014the <em>coyote<\/em> or \u201cmiddleman\u201d\u2014in this case, Banco Azteca, which belongs to the Grupo Elektra.<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn11\" name=\"_ednref11\">[xi]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The supreme leader claims that the pay-out to <em>campesinos<\/em> who join the program is $5,000.00 pesos. That\u2019s false. A <em>campesino<\/em> can get a maximum of $4,500.00 pesos (and in some cases only $4,000.00).<\/p>\n<p>Supposedly the reason that you can only get $4,500.00 is because the other $500 go into a savings account, the destiny of which is unclear. Those receiving aid are told that the funds will be \u201cfor the elderly\u201d or that they will be used in the future to bring the goods\u2014lumber and fruit\u2014to market. But just think: cedar and caoba trees need about 30 years to grow before they are \u201cmarketable\u201d, that is, until it\u2019s profitable to cut them down and sell them. But the president\u2019s term ends in 5 years. If my math is right, that means it will take another 4 presidential terms before what is planted in the coming year (the plants are still in the greenhouse phase) will be marketable. Presumably, the beneficiaries will receive $4,500 pesos every month for the next 29 years. Therefore, the Bolsonaro-Macri-Moreno who is already waiting in the wings to relieve the current administration from the storm will either commit him or herself to maintaining this program, or the program\u2019s real purpose is to ensure peasant support for a single political party across multiple presidential administrations.<\/p>\n<p>The issue is that through this money transfer, the bank retains 500 pesos (and in some cases, one thousand pesos, with the argument that peasants ought to save) for each \u201csower of life\u201d. The supreme leader\u2019s functionary in charge of this program has said there are as many as 230,000 \u201cbeneficiaries\u201d. That comes out to 115 million pesos per month at the disposal of that bank. You can consult your favorite economist to find out what banks do with the savings of their account holders.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in some branches of that \u201cselfless\u201d and \u201cphilanthropic\u201d institution which is Banco Azteca, peasants are told that they will only be given $4,000 pesos \u201cso that they learn to save.\u201d If all beneficiaries had this same \u201cinstinct\u201d to save (such a valued quality in the culture of money), then the government would be withholding 230 million pesos per month, multiplied by 12 months per year for 5 years starting in October of this year. But let\u2019s just assume that\u2019s not the case, and that only 115 million pesos per month is set aside as \u201csavings\u201d (that\u2019s 1.38 billion pesos per year, which comes out to 6.9 billion pesos in what\u2019s left of this presidential term). Now, if at the end of this presidency and in the presidential and legislative elections in 2024, God forbid this same supreme leader or someone from the same party were not to win, the \u201cbeneficiaries\u201d would quickly turn into the \u201cvictims\u201d: they\u2019ll have 2.5 useless hectares of land [the size of the plot peasants are paid to plant under the \u201cSembrando Vida\u201d program] because they won\u2019t be able to cover the cost of having lost their animals (if they planted over their pasture), or their cornfield (if they planted trees on \u201creclaimed\u201d agricultural fields).<a href=\"http:\/\/enlacezapatista.ezln.org.mx\/2019\/08\/27\/sonata-for-violin-in-g-minor-money\/#_edn12\" name=\"_ednref12\">[xii]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the supreme leader (with the blessing of his \u201cnuanced\u201d advisers) is carrying out a new \u201cagrarian reform\u201d based on the program initiated by the \u201cbad\u201d Salinas (Carlos Salinas de Gortari). The requirement for joining the \u201cSembrando Lata\u201d [Sowing Conflict] program in <em>ejido<\/em> communities is that the \u201crights holders\u201d (the <em>ejido<\/em> members who have land rights) cede two hectares of that land to \u201csolicitors\u201d. This means that the new agrarian reform of the 4T involves taking land from those who have the least and \u201credistributing\u201d it. In addition to the fact that this has created a new form of corruption, it has also divided party-affiliated communities [who receive aid] all the way down to the family level, pitting children (\u201csolicitors\u201d) against parents (\u201crights holders\u201d), fights that can escalate into death threats.<\/p>\n<p>In the Highland region of Chiapas, where there are small population clusters and land is measured in small plots called \u201c<em>tareas<\/em>\u201d rather than \u201chectares\u201d, the situation would be comical if it weren\u2019t tragic. <em>Campesinos<\/em> in this context uses the same piece of land (\u201c<em>tarea<\/em>\u201d) to plant corn, then beans, then a vegetable crop. In addition to the fact that almost no one owns 2 full hectares, if they plant what that idiot of a president wants, their little plot of land will be unusable for subsistence farming for the next 20 or 30 years. Apparently that\u2019s irrelevant, since what matters are the monthly cash transfers that that peasant receives.<\/p>\n<p>There are more stories that you won\u2019t believe because you of course have better information and statistics. For now I\u2019ll just say this: the equation that states that \u201cx amount of money = y number of hectares planted\u201d is false. The party-affiliated peasants receiving the aid often pretend to prepare the soil for planting, or \u201clend\u201d each other hectares when the president\u2019s project manager comes around, or they just cut a deal with that manager: \u201cYou just write down that I\u2019m carrying out the greenhouse phase and that I have the two hectares required, and I\u2019ll give you a cut of my $4,500.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even so, hundreds of communities have rejected the program because, as they themselves say, \u201cWe\u2019re not going to work as peons for the government. The land belongs to us, not to that plantation owner-turned-government.\u201d But surely the supreme leader has other statistics, and we are just in one small portion of one small state of the Republic. So let\u2019s follow the money:<\/p>\n<p>According to Grupo Elektra\u2019s web page, every Elektra store has a Banco Azteca branch inside. That is, when a peasant goes to the bank to collect his hand-out-that\u2019s-not-a-hand-out, the person behind the counter is wearing a shirt with the logos of the bank and the 4T. As should be expected, the person recommends both a savings account and an insurance package to the peasant: \u201c<em>You never know what could happen. For example, your motorcycle could get stolen\u2026What?! You don\u2019t have a motorcycle?! Don\u2019t worry, today is your lucky day<\/em><em>\u2014I\u2019ve always said that lucky people sometimes don\u2019t realize what they\u2019ve got. Look, here we have this powerful machine, 125 cubic cm engine, Italika brand (a Grupo Elektra affiliate), and you can take it home today. Yes, today! And just for being you, I\u2019ll throw in the helmet. Are you single? You are?? I\u2019m surprised, someone as handsome as you\u2026 But anyway, look, a passenger fits comfortably on this bike. You\u2019ll see, all the ladies are going to want you to take them for a spin. Now it\u2019s better to buy this as a package so you can save yourself some hassle, you know what I mean? So I recommend that you go ahead and open your account here at the bank, get the insurance with it <\/em>(it\u2019s obligatory to open the account)<em>, buy the bike on a payment plan and get insurance on it in case it gets stolen or breaks down. You can home today on your motorcycle, helmet and all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>All this is real. A Zapatista <em>compa<\/em> accompanied his party-affiliated brother-in-law and witnessed everything I\u2019ve described. Of course, names have been omitted to protect the impunity\u2026 oh sorry, I mean the presumed innocence of the supreme government. And as for the motorcycle? Well, we don\u2019t know, the <em>compa<\/em> had to take public transportation back home because his brother-in-law, after paying for the motorcycle and the insurance, spent everything he had left on cases of beer. And they didn\u2019t both fit on the motorcycle: it was the beer or the <em>compa<\/em>. The beer won. The Zapatista <em>compa<\/em> came back angry: \u201c<em>He\u2019s not even single! He\u2019s married to my little sister and they\u2019re going on their fourth kid. Just wait until my sister finds out<\/em><em>\u2014then he\u2019s really going to need that insurance.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The principle shareholders of Grupo Elektra are: Hugo Salinas Price, Esther Pliego de Salinas, and Ricardo B.

In it, one can read the following: \u201c<em>Sadly, when the conditions of life are better, the people have time and resources to think of participating in uprisings concocted by trouble-makers. When life is hard, the people are more concerned with holding on to what they have than with causing a ruckus.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the Grupo Elektra that was chosen by the supreme leader to manage the cash transfer cards of the 4T\u2019s \u201csocial policy.\u201d More information can be found in \u00c1lvaro Delgado\u2019s article on the subject in <em>Proceso,<\/em> edition 2208 from February 24, 2019. Oops! I said I wasn\u2019t going to cite that heretical and demonic weekly. Ok, but you can do like I did and get a copy of the book, and believe me, it will give you chills. Or talk to \u00c1lvaro Delgado\u2026but don\u2019t let the supreme leader find out.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>-*-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A complex crisis is brewing, what in the bunkers of capital is known as a \u201cperfect storm.\u201d This vessel we call \u201cplanet Earth\u201d has been almost entirely dismantled and is being kept afloat by the same mechanisms that are destroying it. This stupid deadly cycle of destroying in order to rebuild what\u2019s been destroyed is hidden behind false evidence that has slipped into our common sense. The fundamental belief in the power of the individual, a belief that was born with the rewriting of human history, has created the myth that the individual is capable of anything.<\/p>\n<p>The catch, hidden behind the myth of individuality, is that it absolves the system of its responsibility for its lethal consequences. Human beings, civilizations, languages, cultures, arts and sciences waste away, digested in the stomach of the machine, and the system\u2019s responsibility is transferred to the individual. It is he or she who is the victim and the executioner. The murdered woman is responsible for the blows she receives, the rape she suffers, her disappearance and her death. She is a criminal for having been victim of a crime and she\u2019s a criminal for having spoken out against that crime. The same is true for children, the elderly, and people of different genders, cultures, languages, colors and races.<\/p>\n<p>But don\u2019t pay any attention to us. Consult your favorite economist instead (and if they work for the government, be sure to tell them everything will be \u201coff the record\u201d). Perhaps they\u2019ll tell you that political economy is a science that operates based on laws, on causes and effects, and that it doesn\u2019t respond to will, tantrums, or fits from behind the pulpit; that political economy pays no mind to polls and it doesn\u2019t watch the morning press conferences; that political economy says that if a given set of conditions occurs (the causes), then a given phenomenon will be produced (the effect). Once you get bored with all the numbers and formulas, ask them: are we headed for a crisis? If you see that the economist takes out an umbrella (even though you are indoors) and apologizes, saying \u201cwell, there never were any guarantees,\u201d then you have several options. You could solemnly declare their statements to be fake news and then blather on about the mafia of power and the Illuminati, accusing the economist of being a conservative. You could ask the economist where they got their umbrella and whether they had any in lavender (to each their own). You could cling tightly to the closest religion. Or, you could ask the economist if there is a solution, a way out, a fix.<\/p>\n<p>The economist will respond with a bunch of formulas and statistics. Wait patiently for them to finish, and then instead of saying that you didn\u2019t understand any of what they said, ask them to summarize the answer. The economist might then respond, \u201cThe situation is very difficult, it would necessitate\u2026\u201d (a new torrent of formulas and statistics).<\/p>\n<p>Or perhaps they\u2019ll simply say: \u201cNo, not in this system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(To be continued\u2026Huh? Oh, there isn\u2019t more? But I was just getting warmed up\u2026Definitively not?
