The Real Mexican Revolution

In the Winter 2005/06 Edition of The National Interest, in an article titled "Mexico's Wasted Chance," Fredo Arias-King laments the failure of Mexican President Vicente Fox. Why did Fox fail? Why did he compromise his reforms? The key may be found in Fox's appointment of Jorge Castaneda as Mexico's foreign minister. This is the same Jorge Castaneda who assisted communists like Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega in the 1980s. This is the same Jorge Castaneda who called for the destabilization of the U.S. economy through a debt moratorium, who also called for legal measures against Americans in Mexico. It is no wonder that Foreign Minister Castaneda abrogated Mexico's mutual defense pact with the United States and, according to Arias-King, "flew with Fox to Nicaragua to publicly embrace [Daniel] Ortega, who was attempting to return to power."

The linkages between Fox and Ortega and Castro are suggestive. More recently, the frontrunner in Mexico's upcoming presidential election has been publicly accused of accepting secret financial support from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez (i.e., a rising communist dictator). One might admit, with regard to Mexican succession, that there is a pattern. And this pattern takes on greater importance in light of America's illegal immigration crisis, especially since the illegal immigrants are being politically organized. A Nationwide General Immigrant Strike has been scheduled for May Day. The Immigrant Solidarity Network has laid out its plan: "We are calling [for] No Work, No School, No Sales, and No Buying, and also to have rallies around symbols of economic trade in your areas [on] May 1st to protest the anti-immigrant bill." What is the ultimate objective of the strike? "We will settle for nothing less than full amnesty and dignity for the millions of undocumented workers presently in the U.S."

And what happens if the protestors succeed?

When all immigrants are to be amnestied as citizens with full rights to social services, the United States will be transformed into a socialist republic. Once enfranchised, the newly minted immigrant voters will undoubtedly favor a transfer of wealth from the American middle class to a dominant underclass. Donations for this outcome are to be sent (where else?) to "The Peace Center/ActionLA," 8124 West 3rd Street in Los Angeles. In other words, the immigrant strike is being organized by the socialists of the anti-war movement; by the Worker's World Party and ANSWER, described as "anti-American, anti-war, anti-capitalism, pro-Saddam, pro-North Korea...."

On May 5, 1984, when the global struggle between communism and capitalism was in the spotlight, Mexican publisher and journalist Maneul Moreno Rivas offered his thoughts to the Arizona Southern District of Rotary International. He spoke of sinister "parades and demonstrations that were organized simultaneously in almost all the cities of the United States." He spoke of revolutionary warfare and "the tremendous economic crisis" that was destroying Mexico. "In spite of the fact that you have immediate and lengthy information ... there is a tremendous confusion, a lack of complete and truthful understanding in the mind of the citizens of the United States as to what is really going on...."

Manuel Moreno Rivas was speaking at a time when communism was in the open, backed by the power of the Soviet Union. Now this power is hidden. And it has done surprising things, gaining momentum since 1991. Cuba is a fortress of Communism, he explained. "In the course of the last 25 years, Cuba was converted into the largest arsenal of Latin America." The Cubans have been trained to spread terror and revolution. But, he said, "The advance of communism in Mexico is an altogether different story. The tactics and methods utilized by the Kremlin to make of Mexico a communist country, have been more subtle, more intelligent, more prolonged...."

Immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917, Moscow sent agents into Mexico. These agents, according to Rivas, took an "active and important part in every significant issue of Mexican politics." Hundreds of operatives penetrated the main political organizations and movements of the country. Among Moscow's agents, said Rivas, "you will find high ranking government heads, bright and educated financiers...." The Russians, he explained, "know the psychology of the Mexicans and how they react to different incentives and pressures. They make, through their complete and well-informed dossiers, specific personal studies of the men in power and of those important men who wish to ascend.... Once in power, those native politicians take the role of puppets whose strings are pulled efficiently from the desks of the Russian embassy."

One may question whether such a thing is possible. But we know, as a matter of record, that other nations have succumbed to this type of infiltration. Manuel Moreno Rivas tells us that the "Russians knew, when they began their work in Mexico, that the most effective weapon to attain their ends was the power to educate. Since the middle 1930s they were able to place in the highest posts ... the most convinced and able Marxists...." Teacher education was the strategic high ground, and it was taken without resistance. "Thus," said Rivas, "for generations, the children of Mexico have received a biased education. They have been taught to hate the imperialist Americans as the source of all evil and to worship communistic heroes."

Mexican textbooks give favorable mention to Karl Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara. According to Rivas, "Most of the teachers in Mexico belong to the Communist Party." All teachers need not be communists, of course, since any deviation from the revolutionary curriculum "is punished by immediate destitution." When Manuel Moreno Rivas was speaking before the Rotary International, Mexico's Minister of Education was Augustin Reyes Heroles, an open communist militant. In many ways, of course, Mexico has been a communist regime in practice (if not in theory). The Mexican state has owned the country's railroads, airlines, power grid, telephone company, fishing, mining and sugar industries, iron and steel foundries, the oil industry, etc. Mexico is a country in which land has been seized for the creation of collective farms. "You are well aware of the results of such practices," said Rivas to his American listeners. "The peasants abandon the land and become braceros, illegally crossing the border of the United States in an effort to work and send money [home] so that their families may survive."

According to Rivas, Mexico's presidents have been KGB agents since the days of Luis Echeverria and his successor, Jose Lopez Portillo. In accordance with Russia's long-range plan, the main policy of Mexico's corrupt presidents has been to keep Mexico destitute. This, in turn, forces millions of Mexicans across the border into the U.S. "The big giant is sick," said Echeverria in a 1984 speech. "[T]he enormous idol that holds the capitalistic structure has clay feet.... The cancer cells that we have injected in his bloodstream are working steadily and efficiently in an organism that is already corroded...."

As we watch illegal aliens take to the streets, as we witness the paralysis of American institutions in the face of foreign intimidation and socialist propaganda, we should recall Manuel Moreno Rivas's final question: "How far have Russian agents advanced in the penetration and infiltration of your schools and universities, of your churches, of your labor unions, of your political parties, of your media and of your civic organizations?" No one today would dare to make an answer. Rivas further warned, "When you see civic and religious and racist conglomerates unite under a single command and stage parades and demonstrations on the same day and the same hour in every important town and city in the United States ... you can appraise the magnificent organization that it takes to launch such a campaign...."

Welcome to the real Mexican Revolution.
