Devaluation: the “zero hour” of the 4T

One peso = 5 cents

All vehicle drivers on the roads anywhere in the world know of the existence of the fateful “zero hour”, the one that occurs at twilight, when it is not possible to see with or without lights in the car’s headlights, truck or trailer.

The old day has not completely died, and the new night is not long in coming, to paraphrase the great Bertolt Brecht .

Here, they killed what worked, and what they promised will never be born.

Every human being and any economic, political, cultural, and social organization, as well as all countries, know that there comes a “zero moment” in their life, when it is not possible to move forward or back.

It is the time of catatonia, of distressing paralysis, of total quadriplegia. The hour when the entire environment conspires against it, and nothing can be done, even if it is symbolic, to remedy it. Everything works the other way around.

When he uttered the famous phrase “Alea, jacta est !”, recounted in The Gallic War , Julius Caesar described it — “the die is cast” — as the hour of forced combat, of forced incursion, where a single gesture uncertain meant defeat.

He alerted his ragged and feverish troops at the edge of the border. He urged them to cross the Rubicon River, under penalty that, if they did not do so, the enemy’s advances from the rear would massacre them and, if they did, they could also be exterminated.

Even the Emperor of the Romans himself — the one who preferred to be mayor of any village than second in Rome; the one who said that he was the same as any human being, but that he surpassed everyone in flattering the powerful and mercilessly crushing the defenseless — had to accept it.

Violence is exercised without shame

In Mexico “zero hour” has arrived. The same system, which was never a lady of charity, nor the best Samaritan, has been surpassed in its capacity for endurance by the lousy protagonists of the decadent circus tent.

Society accumulates day in and day out, more, and better, humiliating grievances without parallel. The repressive forces blindly follow the orders of empires, even through intimidation. Displeased with themselves, they must obey sweethearts and idiots. The boiler boils without exhaust pins. Violence is exercised from power, without modesty, to silence defenseless dissident voices, supported by an illegitimate “legality” that does not support the slightest semantic revision.

The political right and the pampered business community, only a handful of what was the old private initiative that supported the system since the State abandoned its leadership, exhibits all its voracity and, at the same time, exposes its rock-like ignorance.

Government is not his thing. His victory, as Juárez said, is morally — and even civically and electorally — impossible.

How we remember the words of Juárez, hours after shooting the usurper Maximilian of Habsburg : “May the enemy defeat us and rob us, if such is our destiny; but we should not legalize his attacks… voluntarily giving him what they demand from us by force. If France, the United States, or any other nation takes possession of any point of our territory and due to our weakness, we cannot expel it from it, let us leave our right alive, so that the generations that succeed us can recover it.

Let’s pay the price!

Today, the “government”, or whatever you want to call it, is the one that exercises violence, mendacity, and oppression against us. We have given the world our hidden and true image; We are only interested in receiving remittances in exchange for submitting, for crumbs, to US interests. All that remains is for Donald Trump , or any other heir of the now deceased Ross Perot , to call on the Minutemen to direct their sights on the real illegals: those who continue to want to alienate oil assets and destroy jobs.

In our Walpurgis hour — the German Halloween — the witch hunt has spread from the captive perpetrators to anyone who dares to undertake an industry without the approval of the owners of the land rights: those who arrived from Tabasco announcing a Fourth Gatopardian Transformation, where everything has changed to be worse than it was.

Our leaders praise the corrupt, reward them with canonries and privileges of power; they disqualify popular attempts at expression and liberation; praise the murderers; They kneel before the owners of the money.

They praise the incompetent; They punish loyalists with all the rigor of the law; They bring the uprooted to the altar of the country; They cover up criminals and pedophiles.

Our luck is cast.

We went, in the blink of an eye — what do some years mean in the history of a country? — from the Mexican Moment, which was celebrated with pomp and dithyrambs all over the planet, to the fateful “zero hour”, when you must pay the broken dishes.

There is great looting of dollars

Who is going to believe these Creoles, apprentices of bad arts, who, to stop the irrepressible plummet of the peso, thanks to their whims of reforming the Judiciary to their liking, are withdrawing tens of billions of dollars from the Reserve? US Federal, where are our resources committed?

It is easier to assume — and verify — that, since they cannot withdraw a single dollar from the 200 billion that they use from our taxes to support the North American currency‎ and that they are committed to rigorous deadlines in Washington, they do what they always do:

Ask for advance loans — the World Bank has just given them one billion dollars –, without approval from Congress or any other body, to continue subsidizing currency traffickers, in exchange for them not interrupting the businesses they can continue doing. with your favorite builders.

In exchange for. In this way, they satisfied the tantrum and disappointment that was caused by not letting them participate in any mega project, since all of them were carried out by SEDENA.

Credibility at risk

It is no longer possible, neither forward nor backward.

Theirs is looting and lying. You don’t learn that in any decent book, which is why they even presume to have written many more books than they have read.

Insecurity is rampant. Who can make us believe again in our “juanes” and in the military middle managers who defend the honor of Mexico and not a few brainless people?

There is a state election. Who will be able to trust the honorability of the INE again, if the president of the Council and her family are all paid on four-year payrolls?

They left Xóchitl Gálvez alone. Who can believe in the party system again, when we have seen that these “organs of public interest” only serve their own interests and are a nest of intrigue, and gossip?

Ministers, magistrates, and judges will be elected. Who can have confidence in the validity of laws that establish the “reform of the Judiciary”, if they are going to be voted with the middle finger plus one of deputies under the seal of infamy and corruption?

With an “autonomous” Prosecutor’s Office delivered to the arms of the Executive. Who will believe again in the procurement and administration of justice, if the prosecutors emerged from the same quagmire of filth, prevarication, and ignorance?

Who, in their right mind, can believe again in the phoneme's “loyalty”, “savings”, “work”, “patriotism”, “Republic”, “honesty”, “competitiveness”, “tolerance”, “free expression?”, “historical heritage”, “internal market”, “strong peso” and all the harangues you can imagine?

It is no longer possible, not forward, much less backward.

Who can govern, Jorge Ibargüengoitia would say, these ruins that we see?

And this is only what can be seen.

If this is not “zero hour,” I don’t know what it could be.

Indications

“According to the director of economic and financial analysis at Banco Base, Gabriela Siller , ‘this rise in the dollar is evidence that a rapid capital outflow is occurring.’ Just on Wednesday, in an interview given to the Social Economy program, broadcast on YouTube, the deputy governor of Bank of Mexico, Jonathan Heath , stated that the holding of Mexican public debt securities in the hands of foreigners represents 13% of the total in circulation, a proportion that It is lower than the 36% that it meant when the current administration began, this in 2018. That is, foreigners had 36% of the total government securities such as Cetes, M Bonds, Udibonos and D Bonds in circulation at the end of the year. 2018. And they have reduced positions in Mexican securities to 13% of the total placed, a portfolio adjustment that had been presented in an orderly manner over the course of the administration,” the newspaper El Economista published a couple of days ago. * * * That’s all for today. I acknowledge that you have invested your time in reading this text. As always, I wish you good thanks and many, many days!
