Mexico In the Phase-Change of the World Strategic Scenario

Guest Post by Leonardo Espitia Jordán of the Veterans for the Republic of Mexico

Events are very dense and fast-paced in a phase-change: recall the first 100 days of the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) that laid the foundations for the American economy to emerge from the Great Depression as the greatest economic and military power ever seen in history.

Now we have seen the first 70 days of Donald Trump's second term. In this short period, the shameful unnatural "special relationship" that tied the United States to the United Kingdom, has been de facto undone. No longer will Washington play the role of “muscle” and London of “brain” in Anglo-Dutch imperial operations. It is those operations which were responsible for world hatred towards the United States. Satan's first and foremost ruse was to spread the rumor that he does not exist.

In close connection with this great turn, President Trump set in motion measures to dismantle the British so-called "Deep State" that was in charge of the strategic decisions of government. In this anti-British rigor, President Trump identifies with William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States (1897-1901), a notable figure of the anti-British current of the American system of political economy, openly opposed to British liberal doctrine.

Continuing with this series of coherent and necessary anti-British ruptures, by presidential decision, the United States withdrew from global organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), ended funding for the World Trade Organization (WTO), and launched the transition to end the Free Trade Agreement (USMCA). With these decisions, globalism ends.

It is very significant that World Bank directors now fear that the United States will withdraw from that international organization, which together with the International Monetary Fund is the policeman of the global speculative system.

Couple the Trump-Putin dialogue for peace in Ukraine—and for great common projects on Earth and in space—with President Trump’s notice of withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords. Together, they are a decisive blow to the growing threat of nuclear war—a threat which is directly connected to the imposition of a New Green Malthusian Order on the world.

With these historic actions, President Donald Trump has inflicted a formidable defeat on the Anglo-Dutch empire, and made the United States a Sovereign Nation-State once more.

This is good news for the United States, but also for the entire world, and of course for Mexico. You need only review the history of the Mexican-American relationship to understand as much. History tells us that when the United States is governed by figures identified with the anti-British current of its founders, there has been economic prosperity in the United States, and consequently a fruitful sovereign relationship between Mexico and the United States: 

So it was when Juárez was President of Mexico and Lincoln of the US, Similarly: Cárdenas and Franklin Roosevelt, or López Mateos and John F. Kennedy. On the other hand, when the United States is governed by men at the service of the pro-British establishment (Wall Street, Military Industrial Complex, Federal Reserve, etc.), is when the United States declines economically, and when Mexico has suffered the worst grievances: Recall William Polk, Teddy Roosevelt, the Bushes, Clintons, Obama, and Biden. From this pro-British current came the lapidary phrase "We will not allow a new Japan south of the border".

Former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO, 2018-24) understood the lessons of history well when he said "We need an economically prosperous United States, we do not want a United States in decline and militarily strong."

President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo also understands these lessons, as demonstrated in the important speech she gave Saturday, March 9, in Mexico City's great square called the Zócalo, before a large audience. There she highlighted those passages of history, when great leadership of both nations coincided with great understanding and cooperation between them.

She placed the relationship that existed between President AMLO and President Donald Trump during his first term, in this context of good neighborliness, and projected in this way the relationship that she seeks to establish with President Trump in his second term.

Mexico's Participation in the Strategic Phase-Change

Mexico has played an important part in the generation of the current global phase change. AMLO's resounding electoral victory in 2018 thwarted the Anglo-Dutch Empire's attempt to crown the occupation of Mexico through NAFTA, with the imposition of parliamentarism. Two years earlier, Donald Trump had won the Presidency of the United States. Both Identifying themselves as "anti-system" figures, they forged a very fruitful relationship for both nations from the beginning. Thanks to that understanding, as AMLO himself recognized, it was possible to recover Mexico's sovereignty over its oil.

From the beginning of his term, AMLO took on the task of restoring the constitutional power of the Presidency of the Republic. In a dirigist action, of the kind hated by the globalist oligarchy, he ordered the recreation of the state-owned oil company Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE).The great six-year project of his presidency was marked by a substantial investment in railway, port and oil infrastructure in the strategic south-southeast of the country. An area that, due to its wealth and location, had been put off-limits from the sovereign development of Mexico, by imperial interests. This is something they never forgave AMLO for.

At the end of his term last year, greatly encouraged by the electoral triumph of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, AMLO dissolved the “autonomous" organisms and globalist justice that had been imposed on Mexico by NAFTA. These included the Federal Economic Competition Commission (COFECE), the Federal Telecommunications Institute (IFT), the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) and many others. This process concluded at the beginning of Claudia Sheinbaum's term.

With these actions, Mexico is an active participant in the defeat of imperial globalism and the return of the Sovereign National State: the characteristic of the change of phase.

Plan Mexico and Hemispheric Integration

On January 13, President Claudia Sheinbaum presented Plan Mexico to representatives of the Mexican business community. The plan aims to raise the Mexican economy from the 12th rank among the most developed economies in the world, to the 10th rank. She reported that the Plan already has an initial portfolio of $277 billion to be invested in the sectors of textiles, clothing, shoes, medical devices, agro-industry and other areas. In the first instance, the Plan intends to rescue small and medium-sized industry that was practically ruined by imports from China under the WTO—to replace them with products made in Mexico, or elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. It works to create supply chains in this hemisphere.

Chinese imports, which at first were trinkets, have become a tsunami that covers almost the entire range of all products in the Mexican market. In the financial sector there are already two Chinese banks, while about twenty brands of Chinese cars are being sold in Mexico. At this rate, the Mexican economy will be swallowed up by this globalist tsunami.

Beyond Plan Mexico

The Mexico Plan seeks to build a kind of breakwater to contain the globalist tsunami of the WTO, which is coming from the East to serve the global speculative system.

The current phase-change of the world's strategic scenario, is creating the conditions, rare in history, to put an end to the colossal ocean disturbance that generates this and other devastating tsunamis. The problem is not sovereign China, but the global speculative system.

A New Bretton Woods

Mexico participated as an important ally of President Franklin Roosevelt, in shaping the new postwar monetary and financial system in the Bretton Woods conference of 1944, This foreshadowed Mexico's future militant commitment to building a Just World Order.

The last president of Mexico who stood out for this historic commitment was Lyndon LaRouche’s friend, President José López Portillo. During his administration, President José López Portillo and U.S. President Ronald Reagan convened the North-South Summit for a New International Economic Order, which was held with great success on October 21 and 22, 1981 in Cancun, Mexico, with participation of many national leaders.

The time has come to put an end to the current bankrupt global speculative system. The current phase-change allows it. It is now or never to begin to shape a New Monetary and Financial System directed by the sovereign nations of the world, free of the City of London and Wall Street, and inspired by the spirit of Bretton Woods.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has the conditions to resume Mexico's historic mission for a just New International Order, as the current phase-change allows it. It is time to present President Donald Trump with the challenge to convene to the summit for a New Bretton Woods, to create a Monetary and Financial System to make peace and prosperity possible in the world.

As at Bretton Woods, the American continent must come united to the alliance of the four great powers: the United States, China, Russia and India. The steps FDR followed are a valid guide today: it should be remembered that before Bretton Woods, several Latin American nations received FDR's support when they declared a moratorium on debt in order to have resources for development. In this sense, that unity will not be achieved with ideologized individuals such as the president of Argentina, Javier Milei, or the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele. What sovereignly unites the continent of republics are principles, not ideologies.
