Presidente Juan Manuel Santos firma ley que permite desarmamento de Urabenos (July 10, 2018)

La Cartita -- Tres mil elementos armados, miembros de guerrillas como la 'autodefensa Gaitanista', Clan Usuga y Urbanaes, estan dispuestos a desarmarse después de que el Presidente Juan Manuel Santos firma acuerdo de paz. Aunque no es claro cuantos miembros están dispuestos a participar, lo que parece factorizar más en la política de los acuerdos es el hecho de que Juan Manuel Santos tomo la palabra de Otonial, quien lidera a estos autodefensas, como genuina en su intención de renunciar a la violencia.

Electoral fraud through vote buying and fake news robbed the candidate of the last two presidential election wins, but many think AMLO has too an overwhelming lead to make dirty electioneering tactics credible. US intervention has cast a shadow over past runs, but this time the ineptitude and more antagonistic nature of the Trump administration towards Mexico and Mexicans has left the electoral cycle clearer to define in favor of a nationalistic candidate.

Who Is AMLO?

A native from the state of Tabasco, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's political aspirations began like that of most politicians living in a country with one party rule: inside of the ruling party. Like today, the Institutional Revolutionary Party was at the helm of the Mexican presidency when AMLO first joined it. He eventually parted ways with the party, leading an insurgent governor's campaign in his home state with the then radical and opposition 'PRD' (Party of Democratic Revolution).

Disgraced Ex-President of Mexico, Vicente Fox, Calls On Mexicans Abroad To Not Vote AMLO

La Cartita --- Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, called on Mexicans residing within the borders of the United States to not vote for Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Last week, the ex-president, who ruled Mexico during 2000 to 2006, met with PRI nominee Jose Antonio Meade, possibly strategizing to sap supporters from AMLO. Mexican consulates are notorious for their lack of impartiality, with NYC consulates staffed entirely with PRI loyalists. Fox has also linked up with an American public relations firm to create anti-Trump fodder that placates Mexicans living in the US, while degenerating the dialogue surrounding migration and economic displacement.

"You Misunderstood", Sean Penn says to Mexican protestors:

La Cartita --- Sean Penn read protestor signs aloud to a laughing audience in Brooklyn, New York. The signs accused Penn of exploiting the Mexico drug war to create material for Hollywood. Antonio Tizapa, the father of Jorge Antonio Tizapa Legideño, a forcibly disappeared #Ayotzinapa student, was present to remind the audience that truly suffering the consequences of the US drug war, not Sean Penn.

Border Patrol Officers Are Raping Women Held In Detention.

La Cartita --- While ACLU reports on women's abuse in Border Patrol managed gulags persist from decades past, the Intercept has published information that confirms the situation has worsened. Trump's aggresive policies have given already racist officials a legally affirmed 'carte blanche' to do anything to women, children and men detained. [See More]

ETP, the corporation that owns Dakota Access Pipeline, has suffered a hack.

La Cartita --- Yesterday, a cyberattack, possibly linked to Russia or other state actors, was undertaken against Energy Transfer Partners, the owners of the Dakota Access Pipeline. So far, 4 gas pipelines have been shutdown as a result. Companies that suffer such attacks are vulnerable to their stock devaluing. Often on social media, news of these hacks are actively suppressed due to that information factoring into their valuation.

The computer network attack first appeared as a service outage at a document exchange. The exchange likely contained sensitive information relating to the customers' distribution of oil. After the attack was identified, the ETP system's operational capacity was restored only for the malicous code to jump into other networks.

While that attack was declared suppressed and repelled early Tuesday, a distinct attack appears to have shutdown Energy Transfer data warehouse and affected several other related companies in the oil pipeline industry. The attacks come after an AP report that notes White House intelligence analysts think Russia has infiltrated vast amounts of US energy infrastructure.
