Mexico, Schweizer's Prague Cemetery?

 Mexico, Schweizer's Prague Cemetery?

Diego Martín Velázquez Caballero

Mexican sovereignty, more than an exercise in self-determination, has transformed into a sophisticated theatrical set where the main action is decided in foreign offices.

Observing the current reality through the analytical lens of Anabel Hernández and María Idalia Gómez, it becomes clear that the recent massive hack of national institutions was not just a technical incident, but the culmination of an operational tutelage.

A true digital coup d'état, as Schweizer describes it.

In this scenario, Mexico operates as a kind of American Sicily: a laboratory of containment and experimentation where US intelligence observes how far its global enemies can penetrate before the system collapses.

This dynamic evokes the atmosphere of Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery, where the creation of conspiracies and the manipulation of falsehoods ultimately shape geopolitical reality.

Peter Schweizer's thesis on the infiltration of foreign powers positions him as one of those figures who, like the young people who initiate the game in Foucault's Pendulum, believe they have uncovered a hidden plot, only to end up as victims of the very conspiracy they are trying to expose.

If Schweizer is right and strategic enemies—Russia, China, or the Middle East—are looming over the territory, then Mexico ceases to be a state and becomes a buffer zone where the ends justify any means of espionage.

From academia, authors such as Robert Pastor and Alain Rouquieu have emphasized that Mexico's integration into the North American sphere of influence is a structural condition that nullifies its autonomy.

For Daniela Spenser, the history of national intelligence services has always been subordinate to Washington's priorities.

Under this logic, the Mexican government is sidelined not for lack of will, but due to an economic and security dependence, both formal and informal, that ties its hands.

The hall of mirrors is absolute: the rhetoric of independence is permitted while the data infrastructure is managed from the North.

Mexico is the chessboard where the resilience of Western rivals is measured, but also the laboratory where the effectiveness of total control is tested.

Ultimately, sovereignty is a literary concept in a world of stark political realism, where the country fulfills its destiny as the final frontier of an empire that prefers to observe the chaos from the peephole rather than allow another actor to move the pieces in its Sicilian laboratory.

Now then? Apparently, the impulsive Trump seems determined to invade Mexico to stop not only drug trafficking but also the decline of his electoral standing in the American public opinion.

However, his idea has been taken up by the Morena narrative to unite the country and generate the historic anti-Yankee Mexican nationalism.

In the dizzying scenario of binational politics, the apparent threat of a military invasion of Mexico, outlined by the impulsive Donald Trump, has taken on a double life.

It's complicated for everyone, especially for the societies of both countries; drug use continues to grow indiscriminately in North America at the same time as violence in Mexico.

No government seems to take the externalities of the drug phenomenon seriously.

The relationship between Mexico and the United States must be reconsidered from the geopolitics of the Brzezinski Model. Of course the United States needs a Japan downstream of the Rio Grande! Mexico cannot continue to be the laboratory of violence for North America, nor the purgatory of the American dream.

If Mexico falls, the United States falls as well; Mexico is a huge flank for destruction and the worst tragedies in the Yankee Empire. There are the scientific prospects of Friedman, Fukuyama, and Zakaria. Have Mister Carrot and his assistant secretary, Pretty Fly Blondie, read them?

The MAGA project is increasingly descending into absurdity and seems to aim for the opposite of hegemony and strengthening. Has Donald Trump become Mexicanized? The United States has all the capacity, energy, and strength to end the drug phenomenon; at least from the perspective of drug consumption and production, to regulate it in a sensible way.

However, excessive pentagonism requires Mexico to be the North American Sicily and the Petty Cash Box of the Narco-Empire.

Can Trump control American pentagonism? It seems not.

Irresponsible incursions into Latin America have only meant increased levels of emigration and drug trafficking for the United States. If Trumpism acts wrongly, it will only exponentially complicate a relationship that is becoming virulent and conflictive.

The idea of North America is irreversible in the immediate geopolitical vision (2080). The question is whether the United States wants to be the protagonist of the new bloc to restore Western culture, or whether it will witness the dismantling of the American Union in the nine nations that will easily succumb to Asian, Chinese, or Muslim culture.

How long will Trumpism govern seriously?

MAGA Has Fallen in Los Angeles

The emergence of various social groups in some of California's major cities in response to the US federal government's intervention by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has further discredited Trumpism globally.

The reaction of the Hispanic community in Los Angeles, California, in particular, may represent a breaking point for Trump's MAGA movement and signal that the United States' techno-feudal neoliberalism cannot exclude migrants working in the informal economy.

California has been the starting point for mobilizations within North America and around the world to challenge Donald Trump's administration.

California is one of the world's most important economies; in addition to the impressive civil resistance of the Hispanic community, there have also been strong demands from various business owners, landowners, and industrialists expressing the economic damage that the mass deportation of immigrants would cause, according to MAGA's approach.

Donald Trump's nativist economic proposal requires a costly restructuring that cannot be based on reactive impulses.

Removing migrants from workplaces and production chains, as Donald Trump is proposing, will disrupt important economic structures and generate greater problems than those Trumpism seeks to solve.

The attacks on migrants by ICE and the various security forces promoted by the Republicans have ultimately incentivized activism among various groups opposed to the American far right, and the country is becoming polarized in ways that are inconvenient for Donald Trump.

If the Republican Party is considering winning the midterm elections and retaining the presidency of the United States, it might consider tempering Trumpism.

The various demonstrations in American cities and the global criticism of WASP conservatism are elements that strengthen Democratic voters and will complicate partisan competition in the immediate future.

Donald Trump's first presidency failed to produce the expected results. It left his country deeply divided, and the confrontational mood, which some consider bordering on civil war, is not conducive to the Republican Party's tendencies.

Furthermore, the abuse of Trumpist measures against the American civilian population will also be an element that will affect the legitimacy of Donald Trump's second presidency.

California has become the Waterloo of Republican Trumpism.

The Calexit forces a rethinking of MAGA and American exceptionalism, and the idea of ​​a North America that includes Mexico and Canada on equal terms is increasingly consolidating.

Although the presence of an ambassador as the future Trumpist envoy has generated alarm among the analysts of the inner circle and some specialists, the truth is that -with all that risk-, there are also probabilities that Mexico will maintain its sovereignty and capacity to govern to a minimum. The North American military interventions have been multiple, although, with the exception of the loss of half of the national territory in the 19th century; afterwards, there have not been conflicts in the same proportion. It is true that many conservative groups would be delighted with a military intervention by the United States in Mexico; however, this would be unthinkable in the immediate scenarios because, it has been pointed out in the perspective of authors as ambivalent as Pablo González Casanova, George Friedman and Samuel Huntington, the most probable thing is that North America will lose a war against the many Mexicos.

The problem of a conflict between Mexico and the United States poses for the Americans a guerrilla war similar to Vietnam, the fight of an eagle against flocks of turkeys or chickens; surely it will capture some, but it will not be able to take them all. Therefore, the reasons for a total armed intervention and even war are not rational from the American point of view; at least, this is not indicated by the presence of Ronald Johnson.

Although Vietnam constitutes a shameful example of the war history of the United States, in essence, it is its main object of development. The Cold War represented for North America the speculation of war in a permanent and gradualist way; military victory is important, but less than economic victory.

Since the six-year term of Luis Echeverría Álvarez, the United States wants control of Mexico more than military domination and, in fact, there have been American ambassadors more willing to state coups and nothing has happened even though the country is on the border of chaos. Military gradualism serves to develop the US war industry and financial system. The US intervention in Colombia is an example of the significance of the drug trafficking issue; officials like Oliver North are more important than Chris Kyle. US militarism remains trapped in the logic of lions for lambs.
