Washington's Strategy of 'Chaos and Intervention' in Mexico

 

"The scene is deplorable: Mexicans wiping out Mexicans while the United States, its security apparatus and its banking system extract juice from the interplay of out-of-control drug trafficking and consumption up there, and the sale of weapons here. Dollars in the North, and bullets and piles of cadavers in the South."

Mexico - La Jornada - Original Article (Spanish)

The "geostrategic game" propagated by the security apparatus of the United States in Mexico has four pillars: weapons, drugs, business, and chaos. The term "game" is a misleading one. These are not spontaneous little pranks, but bloody schemes aimed at removing judicial obstacles - from Bravo [Mexico] to Patagonia [Chile] - to the hegemonic dominance and control of U.S. business over the human and strategic natural resources of other nations. Mexico and Colombia are "field tests" for promoting the doctrine of "flexible borders," just as Ecuador experienced in Sucumbios last year.

 

[Editor's Note: This is a reference to Colombia's attack, using U.S. equipment and command and control, on Ecuadorian territory, in which a FARC leader taking refuge in Ecuador was killed].

 

The management of the U.S. security apparatus over the dynamic of weapons, business and drugs is central to the promotion of chaos and instability in these countries, and is the basis and excuse for military intervention and occupation. There is really spectacular and very disturbing information provided by official Mexican government agencies about the inexhaustible supply of high caliber, high-technology weapons being sent to Mexico under the noses (if not with the approval) of United States customs: "at least" 29,000 advanced military weapons, including 37 and 40mm MGL grenade launchers; 50mm Barrett rifles; submachine guns and Belgian pistols imported by the U.S. and shipped to Mexico; weapons designed to penetrate armored vehicles, M72 and AT4 anti-tank rockets; and fragmentation grenades like those used against the population of Morelia on September 15, 2008 - an operation used to launch the "Mérida Initiative."

 

Such armaments, by virtue of their volume (impossible to escape detection by customs), their high caliber, along with the likely deployment of mercenaries and/or undercover special forces, are central ingredients of the model of " military expansion" pursued by the Department of Defense in Mexico, mounted amidst the bloodbath that the militarization of the drug war has become, and which launched six-years of orphaned legitimacy after the contested 2006 presidential election.

The scene is deplorable: Mexicans wiping out Mexicans while the United States, its security apparatus and its banking system extract juice from the interplay of out-of-control drug trafficking and consumption up there, and the sale of weapons here. Dollars in the North, and bullets and piles of cadavers in the South. All of which presents serious risks to Mexico's sovereignty, territorial integrity and vast natural resources.

 

It's a dynamic in which U.S. spy agencies and Department of Defense, now under former CIA Director Robert Gates, play a fundamental role: The inter-relationship with - and protection of - the global business of drug trafficking and trafficking in weapons was well-illustrated by the Iran-Contra Scandal: a secret CIA operation to finance Reagan's war against the Sandinista revolution using money from illegal arms trafficking to Iran.

[Editor's Note: During the Reagan Administration, the White House's obsession with evading congressional restrictions on aid to the Nicaraguan contras drove them to sell weapons and spare parts to Iran's Mullahs. The episode is one of the more bizarre events in U.S. foreign policy, and even included delivering a cake shaped like a key and a Bible, signed by Reagan, to Iran's clerics; an episode that led the embarrassed deliverer of the pastry surprise, National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane, to tell a Congressional hearing, "Simply put, there was a cake on the mission. I didn't buy it, bake it, cook it, eat it, present it, or otherwise get involved with it"].

 

According to [Canadian economist] Michel Chossudovsky, Gates was implicated in the Iran-Contra affair. Meanwhile, the occupation forces in Afghanistan today support the drug trade that produces close to $200 billion in revenue for organized crime, the intelligence agencies and Western finance institutions.

Furthermore, it has been documented that the CIA played a central role in the development of both Latin American and Asian drug triads. These legendary businesses and "arrangements" continue " under the protection of the U.S. intelligence services," indicating the tacit approval of the new Democrat government, which also provides a basis for the proper interpretation of a document of U.S. Joint Forces Command, the focal point of which is the chaos in Mexico - to which the United States would be obliged to respond given the consequences to its domestic security. What wasn't mentioned is the role of the United States in the genesis of chaos brought about by the arms-business-drug triad.
