The President of Mexico has now again offered full asylum to Julian Assange.
“Mexico opens the doors to Assange,” the president declared.
It is good to remember that AMLO spoke to Trump and offered asylum and he is now promising to speak to Biden, to again offer asylum.
AMLO’s briefing to journalists included playing the ‘collateral murder’ clip.
Ben Norton of Multipolarista.com has the detail of AMLO’s briefing, full of fire, as well as the history of shame of those that bleat democracy, protection of human rights, or freedom of expression, without applying these values to themselves, but using them as a stick to beat others.
if only the Prime Minister of Australia would do the same! I think he promised to do something, but I haven’t heard of him direcly bucking the US like this.
He wants to keep his job. The CIA is pretty good at arranging for “regime change” when political leaders don’t do what Washington tells them to do.
Yes, I worry about that. I live in Mexico and am concerned that AMLO’s stands on things is going to bring Washington involvement in the next election. In the meantime, though, I enjoy waking up in the morning in a country that considers Russia its friend and isn’t afraid to express opinions.
After Prime minister Gough Whitlam removed our troops from Vietnam and questioned the Pine Gap US Base, he very quickly was no longer Prime Minister
Expect the CIA to arrange for “regime change” in Mexico, if Lopez Obrador persists in not doing as he’s told by Washington.
Of course it will be done in their usual slick manner, so that the MSM won’t notice. The CIA (along with the NSA) is one of the few competent organs of the US State, and the MSM are even less competent at investigative journalism than they were a dozen years ago.
And yet Anthony Blinken congratulated Gustavo Petro, a former leftist guerrilla and new President of Colombia, on a fair & democratic victory.. Go figure..
That is the just and righteous thing to do . I wish Russia would intervene and trade prisoners for him.
Me too.
A. Manuel López Obrador refleja ser muy justo y compasivo.

A. Manuel López Obrador reflects to be very fair and compassionate.

The Alphabet agencies assets have begun their push for the next presidential elections. AMLO´s tenure might be considered a flash in the pan, a good memory for some, but the other shoe will drop soon.
Mexico is too leveraged towards the Colonialists, and therein lies its weakness, a large percentage of illiterate population, very large percentage of population in poverty, and a wide gap in wealth distribution.
AMLO has failed to push for education reform, for constitutional reforms on the mineral and natural resources, he continues to live with the help of corporativistic vote, be it teacher, miners, oil worker, electrical worker syndicates, the woke, feminists, lgbtq. etc. He has not touched the power of the the oligarchs who are just servants of Wall Street with double citizenship. He has not touched the Bankers who continue to rape the country with their FOBAPROA trust fund, the mineral resources belong to the canadians and yankees, etc.
He has failed to leverage the support he has earned to impose the changes that Mexico needs. He has not had a strong hand to secure the continuation of his populistic ideas, and some of those are very necessary to prolong the quasi sovereignty that Mexico can claim at moments.
