Mexican officials insisted that any agreement would not involve operations by the United States military or drug enforcement agents on Mexican soil, as has happened in Colombia and Peru. [...]

Representative Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat who represents a border district that includes Laredo, said he supported the proposal, saying it would mark a 'historic shift in policy' by giving Mexico an array of tools to crack down on drug dealers. On the table are tools such as surveillance equipment, aircraft, and advanced radar and telephone-tapping equipment, Mr. Cuellar and Mexican officials said."

To her own people, the USA provides a steady diet of fear and lies about Mexico and Mexicans, and that's just not enough, she wants moooooorrrrrrrre. More control, more fear, more power. She wants the USA façade of a "war on drugs" to the South, she wants bugs in every line, and cameras on every corner, and to spread the poison of her new monarchical fear-oriented culture as far and wide as possible. Of course, the US government won't be looking into those cameras or listening on those lines, Nooooooo!

One problem for Mexican antidrug officials has been the rampant corruption in municipal police departments the article says. And that just plays right into USA paper-reading minds. Let's talk about crooked criminal cops, yeah! But, hmm, let's not mention the actual corruption in the Executive branch, that corruption that is still having so many drastic effects....

If the USA were truly interested in the effects of drugs on her own people, she would think a bit deeper about her actions in Afghanistan, which to my memory, has increased the heroin in the USA by vast amounts. She would undo this "War on Drugs" which is another tool to hurt and suppress and destroy targeted populations. Or she would focus on the pharmaceutical giants for their pushing SSRIs and every other chemical concoction they come up with on all of us, through TV, doctors, hospitals, and propaganda for everything from Flaring Nostril Syndrome to Chronic Boredom Disease to Existential Cramping Disorder. Drug cartels? Diazepam Roche Lilly Pfizer Shire Merck...it goes on and on. You don't need to spy to find them.

Yes, there are big problems with the United States' commerce with Mexico, her drug and gun deals. And with crime and murder at the border. The answer doesn't lie in spying. Or guns. Only those who gather their hard news from solamente Newsweek and People believe such simplistic fear-based tripe. And only when the Brown™ needs to be corralled do these ideas of Big Drug Laws and Crackdowns get paraded out. Where is our war on White Kids Doing Ecstasy in the Suburbs? Because as far as I'm concerned, this is a very dangerous happening!

The real answer to this Mexican Drug Cartel issue would lie not in the symptomology or notions of harsher police control, but much to do with addressing the roots of the border culture of exploitation and criminalization and the conditions both nations create when they agree on such an unnatural and havoc-wreaking ideology and law as such an entity as this "Border" as it stands; not to mention the culture of drug criminalization that empowers such a blackmarket and such players and power dynamics, and is rooted in our approach to and fear of mind altering substances to begin with. Half the time people dying over flowers and cactuses. Ay.

Hey, do what you're gonna do. You'll do it anyway. But if the Govt—either one—thinks we are buying this line after all the lies and excuses used on US citizens to implement control and fascist measures of surveillance, methinks the Lady Liberty has been sniffing too many fumes. But hey. Maybe that's because Dubya and Guilani told her it was safe to take off her mask.
