14. The Bush Cartel/Calderon deal went something like this...
(in my opinion)

1. Bushwhacks: We help you steal your election and give you $$billions of U.S. tax dollars in military aid to subdue your people (um, stop the drug traffic--heh-heh), and

2. You will accomplish the privatization of Mexico's oil (a constitutionally protected resource), and smash leftist uprisings, and maybe also

3. Keep our drugs/weapons operations out of the line of fire.


Calderon came within a hairsbreadth (0.05%) of losing to leftist Lopez-Obrador, in an election that was widely regarded at stolen. And, as we have seen in Colombia, Bushwhack "war on drugs" military aid is like pouring oil on a fire--the drug trade and related crime just escalate. But the more important purpose of the "war on drugs" military booty, in both cases--Colombia and Mexico--is oil. The Bushwhacks have heavily armed Colombia as part of a plan to invade Venezuela and Ecuador--a plan that has now been exposed--to split off the oil rich provinces of these countries into fascist mini-states in control of the oil (to restore U.S. global corporate predator control and profit from the oil). What motivates Bushites the most, even over drugs/weapons profiteering and fostering fascism? Oil. Calderon has run headlong into issues of Mexico's sovereignty over their resources and leftist poverty issues as to the uses of the oil profits. There is great resistance to privatizing Mexico's oil.

The Interior Minister's death may have more to do with the oil issue that drug mafias. My first thought, on reading this news, was that maybe he was resisting the oil privatization. I don't know enough about him to say this with certainty. But I believe that the Interior Minister is in charge of the state oil company. Need to find out more.
