Mexico rising: Atlanticist media-hate is in overdrive as President Obrador drains the swamp

Mexican President Lopez Obrador
Mexican President Lopez Obrador is draining the swamp, and Atlanticist media isn't happy about it. In fact, the New York Times and the Washington Post hate him for it. Right now, to carry Mexico's Fourth Transformation forward, AMLO requires an additional mandate beyond the movement that put him in power, and this means a referendum that condemns the corruption of Mexico's past five presidents - Carlos Salinas de Gortari, Ernesto Zedillo, Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto. Such a move would solidify a type of revolution underway in the country - a condemnation of the socio-economic course of the past thirty years.

The general view of AMLO and Mexico's mainstream left including the nationalist left, is that the country took a catastrophic turn towards neoliberalism in 1982. This represented an ideological split in the PRI, leading towards the PAN. This is how Mexico arrived at two neoliberal parties, similar to Democrats (like the PRI) and Republican (like the PAN) in the U.S. AMLO's mission originally with the PRD in 1989 and then the labor supported, trans-class MORENA (Movimiento Regeneración Nacional) was to return to an older type of PRM/PRI politics before neoliberalism (akin perhaps to FDR in the U.S.). This was envisioned to be in line with social-nationalist greats of the revolutionary period like Lazaro Cardenas.

The politics of MORENA, also meaning a mestizo or indigenous woman, have taken up the banner of 'national regeneration' - palingenesis - as the fundamental theme behind the Fourth Transformation. To make Mexico great again also means to drain the swamp.

Peter Hitchens: "Testing has always been a bizarre fetish"

Writer Peter Hitchens dismisses government efforts to use extensive testing to bring down coronavirus numbers.

"Testing has always been a bizarre fetish. The idea that you could ever conceivably develop a bureaucracy and a surveillance system efficient enough to track down every contact and to isolate every person who's reproducing the infection was absurd in the first place."

Military will be involved in Covid-19 vaccination scheme, UK health secretary confirms

Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock said the UK government is "working as hard as we can" to get a Covid-19 vaccine ready, and he confirmed the military would be involved in "making the rollout happen."


Comment: And that's not all, according to iNews which first broke the story over a month ago - and note that many ridiculed the idea at the time - also details that the military will also be tasked with:
The scale of the programme, potentially to cover the entire UK population of nearly 67 million, would also require military assistance with transportation, refrigeration and storage, as well as security against possible sabotage or criminal damage.
As you'll see below, the state has recently, brazenly, given itself power to be both judge, jury, and executioner.


Speaking at a virtual Conservative Party conference about the pandemic, Hancock said the "armed services" and the contact-tracing app NHS will both be implemented in deciding how to distribute a potential vaccine "according to clinical need."

"We have set out the order in which people will get it, we have set that out in draft pending the final clinical data," he said, adding the contract tracing app has received 15 million downloads since being launched last month.

Comment: Why is it that they're making vaccination plans when the vaccine isn't even ready and their predictive models, testing, and solutions up until this point have been proven to be deadly wrong?

What makes the matter even more chilling is that, just 2 weeks ago, a high court ruled that the UK's institutions are now free to plan and commit crimes. Pay attention to the sheer breadth of agencies below, as detailed by the BBC, given these powers:
Which agencies will be able to authorise secret crimes?
  • MI5 and other intelligence bodies
  • Police forces and the National Crime agency
  • Immigration and Border Officers
  • HM Revenue and Customs, Serious Fraud Office
  • UK military forces
  • Ministry of Justice (investigations in prisons)
  • Competition and Markets Authority, Environment Agency, Financial Conduct Authority, Food Standards Agency, Gambling Commission and Medicines and Healthcare Regulation Authority

There's nothing to 'learn' from Trump's coronavirus infection

Eddie Scarry
Washington Examiner

trump going to hospital
Other than if President Trump were to die, the worst thing to come out of him testing positive for the coronavirus is the insistence by liberals that there's some lesson to gain about "getting serious" on the pandemic.

CNN's Jake Tapper put on his sternest anchorman voice Sunday and looked daringly into the camera to say, "Mr. President, you have become a symbol of your own failures." (Any time a TV journalist says, "Mr. President," you know what follows is going to be incredibly corny.)

New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof wrote Saturday, "Let's learn from the president's infection."

A Republican Congressional nominee in Georgia berated Congress on Friday after the House voted to condemn QAnon, a conspiracy theory that has gained a massive following since it surfaced in 2017.

"When will this pathetic Congress pass a resolution condemning Communist Antifa and Marxist BLM?" she wrote on Twitter.

Cardinal denies using £600,000 of Vatican funds to bribe witnesses and secure a sex abuse conviction against Cardinal George Pell

Cardinal George Pell arrives at his residence in Rome, Italy, on September 30
A former cardinal has denied using £600,000 of Vatican funds to bribe witnesses and secure a sex abuse conviction against Cardinal George Pell.

Cardinal Pell spent more than 400 days behind bars after being convicted of abusing two 13-year-old choir boys in the 1990s, before the verdict was overturned on appeal.

Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, who last month was accused by the Vatican of misusing funds, was reportedly a strong rival of Cardinal Pell at the time he was brought to trial.

The Grifters of the Left

Tuesday night saw a firehose-style stream of ridiculous statements and ironic positions taken by the Democrat presidential nominee. But it's hard to even fault Joe Biden for that, seeing as though he comes from a political movement that lives by the grift.

There was a time when Democrats were the party of the working man. Democrats, at least some of them, were the coal miners, the auto mechanics, the electricians.

Now? Now, they're the lobbyists, the PR consultants, the diversity coordinators, and the nonprofit apparatchiks.

That party is fronted almost completely by people who don't exist in the productive economy. The most productive Democrats in the private sector are in tech or the creative industries, but the bulk of the folks who really make the wheels turn don't create a thing.

Rather, they redistribute.

Joe Biden has spent 47 years in that realm. Elected to the Senate at age 29 just a few years out of law school, largely on a false narrative about his brilliant academic achievements, he's done nothing but move other people's money around to allies and favorites.

Comment: A great point made on the positioning and 'purpose' of those at the forefront of the Democratic party and the fundamental impact this has on its platform. In order to support, protect and continue Leftist domination, the public must swallow whole-heartedly the faux premise upon which the party, thus candidates, depend. It is eye-opening (for those who see) how 'the Trump syndrome' has lifted this smoke, broken its sacred mirrors and exposed deeply-held secrets. It may take another four years to finish what he started.

Partners in crime: Are Abbas, Hamas and Israel united against Palestinian elections?

The Palestinian president is bluffing by saying he will be setting dates for legislative, presidential and national council elections, says a member of Fatah, adding that Abbas will never give up on his "absolute powers".

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is expected to set the dates for legislative, presidential and national council elections in the coming days, after representatives of all factions met in Istanbul at the end of September for reconciliation talks.

According to reports, the elections are supposed to take place within the next six months in the West Bank and Gaza but Dimitri Diliani, a member of the Fatah Revolutionary Guard, who is critical of the President, says the vote is unlikely to happen, just as it didn't a year ago, when Abbas vowed to take Palestinians to the polls while addressing the United Nations General Assembly.

Trump campaign threatens to sue over Philly election offices

In a push for access to newly opened satellite election offices in Philadelphia, President Donald Trump's campaign threatened to sue the city.

The offices opened Tuesday and allow people to register to vote, apply for mail-in ballots and fill them out, all in the same visit. But they are not considered polling places where poll watchers are traditionally stationed, and those poll watchers typically only come out on election day after receiving a credential from elections officials.

A letter, sent late Tuesday night by a lawyer representing the campaign, insisted that the campaign has a legal right to observe the voting process in the heavily Democratic city's satellite election offices.

Reuters/Ipsos poll: Biden leads by 10 points as majority of Americans say Trump could have avoided coronavirus

Democrat Joe Biden opened his widest lead in a month in the U.S. presidential race after President Donald Trump tested positive for the coronavirus, and a majority of Americans think Trump could have avoided infection if he had taken the virus more seriously, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday.

The Oct. 2-3 national opinion poll gave little indication of an outpouring of support for the president beyond Trump's core group of followers, some of whom have gathered outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where the president has been hospitalized.

Trump has repeatedly dismissed the severity of the pandemic as something that would disappear on its own, chiding Biden as recently as last week for wearing a protective mask, even as the coronavirus infected millions of people and forced businesses and schools to close.

Comment: The Hill follows in good MSM lockstep, trumpeting a 14-point lead for Creepy Joe:
Biden has the support of 53 percent of registered voters in the NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released early Sunday, compared to Trump's 39 percent.

Biden's lead increased 8 percentage points from a poll before last week's debate, NBC News noted, adding that the former vice president's current advantage over Trump is his largest of the 2020 campaign.

Almost half of respondents - 49 percent - told pollsters that Biden did a better job in the debate, which was marked by repeated interruptions and personal insults. Roughly one-quarter - 24 percent - said Trump did better.

Approximately three in four registered voters - 73 percent - said the debate would have no effect on their vote.

Trump's job approval rating also fell 2 percentage points in the new survey to 43 percent.

Fifty-eight percent of respondents said Biden has the better temperament to be president, compared to 26 percent who selected Trump.

Biden also holds an edge over the president on topics including race relations, health care and the coronavirus.

Trump is still the choice of more respondents on the economy, although his support slipped 3 points in the new poll.

Respondents were also split on Trump's nominee to succeed the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Thirty-five percent support Amy Coney Barrett's nomination, 33 percent oppose it and 30 percent say they need more information.

The poll of 800 registered voters was conducted between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, before Trump's positive coronavirus test was announced. It has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
Meanwhile, back in reality, Rassmussen Reports says this as of October 2:
Even though President Trump did most of the talking, debate watchers tend to see Democrat Joe Biden as the winner, although a sizable number remain undecided.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 84% of Likely U.S. Voters watched at least part of the first presidential debate between Trump and Biden. Of these voters, 44% say Biden won versus 36% who claim Trump is the winner. But 20% are not sure.(To see survey question wording, click here.)

Thirteen percent (13%) of the debate watchers said the debate changed their mind about whom they're going to vote for.

Republicans (91%) are more likely to have watched the debate than Democrats (84%) and voters not affiliated with either major party (78%).

Sixty-three percent (63%) of GOP watchers think Trump won. Seventy-two percent (72%) of Democrat watchers disagree and see Biden as the winner. Among unaffiliated voters, 39% say Biden won, 32% Trump, but 29% are not sure.

Republicans (19%) are more likely than Democrats (12%) and unaffiliateds (7%) to say the debate changed their mind.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted September 30-October 1, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Following Trump's announcement of a U.S. Supreme Court nominee just weeks before Election Day, Biden has jumped out to an eight-point lead in Rasmussen Reports' weekly White House Watch survey. The survey released Wednesday does not include reaction to the first Trump-Biden debate.


Eight vs. 14 points. Quite the difference between Rassmussen and NBC/WSJ


The older the voter, the more likely they are to believe Biden won the debate. But roughly 20% of voters of all ages are undecided.

Those under 40 are far more likely than their elders to say the debate changed their mind about whom they're going to vote for.

Blacks (72%) were less likely to watch the debate than whites (84%) and other minority voters (92%). Debate watchers in all three groups give Biden the win. Blacks are the most convinced he won, but they are also the most likely to be undecided.

Twenty percent (20%) of other minority voters say the debate changed their mind about whom they're going to vote for, compared to 11% of both whites and blacks.
