…every step you take, there are so many aspersions to humanity, and in Mexico, what the fuck — end the connection to Israel and USA: get the Chinese and Cubans and Bolivarians in to help!
Living goddamned hell, as every second paid to the UkroNaziLandians and the Murder Inc. Isra-Hell, every goddamned dime and trillion for the fucking offensive weapons systems/CEOs, and every fucking byte for the AI-MR-VR-AR gulag, is a stain against mankind.
Mexico City —
Alejandro Gomez has been without proper running water for more than three months. Sometimes it comes on for an hour or two, but only a small trickle, barely enough to fill a couple of buckets. Then nothing for many days.
Gomez, who lives in Mexico City’s Tlalpan district, doesn’t have a big storage tank so can’t get water truck deliveries — there’s simply nowhere to store it. Instead, he and his family eke out what they can buy and store.
When they wash themselves, they capture the runoff to flush the toilet. It’s hard, he told CNN. “We need water, it’s essential for everything.”
Water shortages are not uncommon in this neighborhood, but this time feels different, Gomez said. “Right now, we are getting this hot weather. It’s even worse, things are more complicated.”
Mexico City, a sprawling metropolis of nearly 22 million people and one of the world’s biggest cities, is facing a severe water crisis as a tangle of problems — including geography, chaotic urban development and leaky infrastructure — are compounded by the impacts of climate change.
[Whoops, the other Gaza, of which there are many in the world. Israeli Authorities’ Cutting of Water Leading to Public Health Crisis in Gaza. ]
The nation added a right to water to its constitution a decade ago, but has never created the policies that would ensure it’s met, leaving twice as many people thirsty today.
Mexico City could run out of water by August/ Sources: Excelsior, Americas Quarterly
Three dams which supply water to the Valley of Mexico are only 30% full, Mexican outlet Excelsior reported this week. The National Water Commission estimates that Mexico City and some surrounding areas could run out of water by Aug. 26 if reservoirs aren’t replenished or consumptions isn’t cut significantly. Mexico is now one of the largest consumers of bottled water, along with China and the U.S., Americas Quarterly noted last year, and 57% of the population lacks access to safe drinking water. The country needs to overhaul and update its dams and distribution systems to ensure water supply to residents, the outlet wrote. The issue has taken on a fresh urgency in the lead up to Mexico’s upcoming elections: Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico City’s former mayor, is the frontrunner to win.
The Mayor? Who is she? Their rivalry has long been a subject of speculation by pundits, and on Tuesday, two of Mexico’s brightest political stars were in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
After the deadly subway train crash in Mexico City, public anger on Tuesday turned toward the city’s mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, and a former mayor who is now Mexico’s foreign minister, Marcelo Ebrard.
Both are widely seen as possible successors to President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
“Absolutely nothing will be hidden,” Mr. López Obrador said at a news conference on Tuesday morning. “The people of Mexico must know the whole truth.”
But even as the president spoke, the political fallout was evident at his news conference. Both Ms. Sheinbaum and Mr. Ebrard faced harsh questioning from reporters: she for the possible failure to detect faults that led to the deadly crash, and he for overseeing the construction of a subway line plagued by accusations of mismanagement and corruption.
A perceived failure to combat crime and corruption as well as the lack of a major accomplishment are the main factors behind a slump in the approval rating of Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum, a new poll shows.
Published today by the newspaper El Universal, the poll shows that 39% of respondents approve of Sheinbaum’s performance, a 15% decline since March.
A higher percentage of respondents – 42.8% – said they disapprove of the mayor’s performance, while just under 14% said they neither approved nor disapproved.
Crime, corruption behind decline in Mexico City mayor’s approval rating — Just another privileged “Mexican.”
Think of all the bullshit these countries run around messing with, from COP28, to conferencfes about money or support for Ukraine, and all the diplomatic bullshit, all the jetting around, the junkets for government officials here and there and everywhere. Imagine that.
Simple stuff on how to solve the water crisis. END capitalism. END the fucking terrorists who are bankers, governors, cartels, DEA, inside and outside fucking monsters draining the blood of the people.
People being murdered in Gaza? It’s fucking a stain on humanity, on Jews, on American Jews and non-Jews, Klanadians, EuroTrashLandian, all of the fucking Arab countries that import (buy) spyware, guns, bombs, the meatgrinder tools of war from ISRAEL and USA.
[Gazans forced to drink dirty, salty water as the fuel needed to run water systems runs out]
But water? Gazans have no water. What about the poor family stuck in Mexico City?
Are we all connected, and all of “them,” the Golden Billion, the mean ass rich and super rich, all of the low lifes who think Arabs are animals, all of them, we are not connected to misanthopy.
Then this human stain, Mayor Adams? Why are all these fucking governors and mayors stains like a Trump Tuck Pad stain? Mayor Adams arrives in Mexico to kick off his migrant discouragement tour
A fucking mayor doing what? On Thursday, the mayor will visit migrant sites south of the border at Puebla, Mexico, before jetting to Quito, Ecuador, the following day.
He will spend his final day in Bogotá, Colombia, where he plans to head to the Darién Gap, a dangerous jungle path that smugglers use to bring many asylum seekers from South to North America.

World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic, and the spokesperson of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Jens Laerke, spoke to Anadolu about the unprecedented levels of destruction Israel has inflicted on Gaza in this war.
Jasarevic said that between 70 to 80% of civilian infrastructure, including homes, hospitals, schools, water, and sanitation facilities, has been destroyed or severely damaged, and it will take decades to repair the infrastructure in Gaza, including the health system that is barely surviving.

Gaza? Tijuana!!!
‘We have reached a point of no return’
Decapitated bodies, minors killed, kidnapping, extortion and drugs — they’re all part of the latest escalation of violence in the city at the doorstep of California.
At a rate of more than 105 homicides per 100,000 residents in 2022, Tijuana has one of the highest murder rates in the world.
So far this year, “there were over 1,000 people killed in the city, most of whom were victims of organized crime groups,” Clark said.
“We have reached a point of no return, where violence, after more than 25 years, has become endemic in the region…”

Murdering children, Gaza:
OCTOBER 26, 2023: Palestinian Diplomat Hanan Ashrawi: The U.S. Is Israel’s “Partner in Crime” in Deadly Assault on Gaza . . . “And not just that, but the U.S. has decided to become spokespeople, the U.S. administration, including Biden and Blinken, in a very — in a horrible way, in which they have sacrificed not just their own credibility, but the credibility of the Americans, by repeating the propaganda of the Israeli spin machine and by labeling and maligning and smearing the Palestinians, and then calling us liars. So, what Israel says, in many ways, affects what the U.S. says, affects public opinion as a whole. Even the Europeans swallowed all those lies at the beginning of the incursion, in which they accused the Palestinians of horrible things without evidence, without substantiation, without any kind of proof, and then it became actual fact.
So, let me say that now the U.S. has no credibility, whether at the political scene or at the military scene or at the moral or even legal scene, by consistently voting against any kind of ceasefire, by giving Israel not just a green light, but all the weapons, all the materials needed to continue with this genocide. And there’s no other way to describe it than the U.S. is — in many ways, is not just complicit, is part of this war.
And this war against Gaza is a massacre against civilians. Seven hundred and thirty-one families have been totally eradicated. It’s not just when we say 7,000 killed, 750 or several thousand children, 3,000 children and so on. These are all human beings that we are seeing live on the air. We are seeing bodies torn to pieces. We are seeing people digging through the rubble. And we know that there are over 1,700 who are under the rubble, who cannot be dug out. People don’t know who they are, where they are. There are children who have lost whole families. There are babies who are left alone, and nobody knows to whom they belong. And there are massive mass graves in Gaza.
It’s just so horrific, that to see Blinken or Biden stand up and say, “We don’t believe the Palestinians”? Well, look at Netanyahu. Pinocchio would be very happy with all the lies. They have a spin machine. We have a cause. That’s the difference. They have weapons of mass destruction. They have Apache gunships. They have F-16s. They have everything that they can throw on innocent people, on whole families, on buildings, on neighborhoods, on whole areas, on hospitals and schools and universities. And I think our weapon is not just a moral stance, but also a legal stance. We have international law, and we have right on our side. So, that’s the difference.
We talk about asymmetry of power. Yes, they can kill all of us. And they’ve been trying to do that piecemeal and gradually in the West Bank, killing people, demolishing homes, extrajudicial assassinations, abductions of people and so on, and in a massive way in Gaza, long-distance, where they are not seen, where they are invisible. The Gazans are being killed by war machines that are provided by the U.S. So, the asymmetry of power is, of course, in the power that is physical, that is destructive weapons. We have human power, moral power. We are a people, as I said, with a cause and with justice on our side.
And that, we must continue insisting on and pressing for the rest of the world to see. There is public opinion. It is moving. It is shifting. It’s beginning to see through all the clouds of misconception and lies and a smearing campaign. But the leaders, sooner or later, will be held accountable for not only swallowing these lies and repeating them, but also for being party to them and for being complicit in this.
So it makes a difference. It makes a difference that the U.S. used its veto repeatedly to prevent any kind of justice for Palestine and, in this case, to prevent any kind of resolution on ceasefire — ceasefire, for heaven’s sake, stopping the killing of innocents, the slaughter of people in a genocide that is unfolding before the eyes of the whole world. And they stand up and say, “No ceasefire.” It is just unconscionable.”
Hanan Ashrawi: Every Palestinian is shaken to the core
In the immediate aftermath of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, the Mexican foreign ministry issued a statement “unequivocally” condemning it. The October 8 statement said that “any terrorist act” is a “threat to international peace and security” and that “all States” should cooperate to “prevent and punish them”. It recognized Israel’s right to “legitimate self-defense” while also condemning the use of force against civilians by all sides and reaffirming Mexico’s long-standing support for a two-state solution to the conflict.
The very next day, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (widely known as AMLO), walked back this condemnation of the Hamas attack. In his morning press conference, he announced Mexican neutrality in the conflict stating, “we do not want to take sides” and that “more than condemnations, what is required is a search for peaceful solutions”. He enunciated Mexico’s long-standing tradition of opposing intervention but also supporting self-determination and the peaceful resolution of disputes. He argued that neutrality would allow Mexico to play a role in the search for a peaceful solution to the crisis.
As a developing economy whose national security could only be threatened by its northern neighbor, Mexico long took refuge in five foreign policy principles: non-intervention, self-determination, national sovereignty, the legal equality of all countries, and the peaceful resolution of disputes. These principles were designed to encourage the United States to tie its own hands rather than exploit the bilateral power differential and force Mexico to take positions beneficial to the United States but contrary to Mexican national interests (something the U.S. had done historically). And lacking significant international global interests beyond the United States, Mexico could rely on foreign policy based on principles rather than interests.
