Jimmy Cliff, The Harder They Come


It gets harder to write these days after the Ayotzinapa group of experts have left the country. They  became like the uncomfortable close relative that told the truth in the family and the ignorant father excluded because he couldn't bare the exposure of the behaviour from the people he spoiled the most.

Some news might say Mexico runs away from the truth and I wonder if that statement is true when the journalists that have made a fierce sprint to find it, have inevitably found the barrel of a gun fired at them on an early morning, after leaving their daughters at bus stations, unto the hands of their own destiny.

GIEI experts were smeared and that is by itself unacceptable behaviour from someone who invites you to come into their house and asks you to find what's wrong with it and when you hint at it, you get sent away in the most dismissive, unappreciative way.


I will always be thankful for these people, because without any clear conclusion, they have hinted and exposed the process in which Mexico stonewalls the truth in a disheveled concatenation of improvised simulacra.



In a parallel universe, on yet another glorious performance of Peña Nieto (he can't even get right the last number in James Bond 007's series right by the uncomfortable end of the clip) , he accused Mexicans of having a "cranky social humor" over certain  minor events in the nation, as he inaugurated the Tourism Fair in Guadalajara, Jalisco. These indigenous mazahua kids were taken (or displayed) to Mexico City and given a tour around our country's capital.  

Cranky Social Mood? Well, after looking at these rising figures,

this little girl's sleepy attitude says (or better yet, yawns) it all.
