Unlike two cowardly former American presidential candidates, leftist Mexican candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador refused to accept the results of a stolen presidential election in his country in 2006. There have been two separate governments in Mexico ever since.

Last week, the legitimate leftist government of Mexico stormed both chambers of Congress to protest a bill pushed through by illegitimate President Felipe Calderon, which would open Mexico’s national oil company to privatization. Mexico’s oil industry was nationalized in 1938, but now Calderon wants to allow US corporations in. Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador drew a line in the sand, saying Mexico was not for sale and that the opposition government would not allow the privatization.

Since last week, leftist deputies and senators have been camped out on the floors of both upper and lower houses of Congress. Calling off a brief hunger strike, the protesters rejected a proposal by members of President Felipe Calderon’s National Action Party and the Institutional Revolutionary Party to debate the privatization for 50 days followed by a vote in an extraordinary session. They instead demanded that a wide open national debate take place. Why, that crazy idea almost sounds like democracy.

Mexico is the fifth largest producer of oil, a resource which constitutes 40% of the nation’s federal budget. The US-backed bill to privatize Mexico’s oil industry will threaten the country’s sovereignty even further, but that is hardly of concern to Mexico’s corrupt politicians who are amongst the highest paid in the world and immune from criminal prosecution.

Rather than give a brief mention to the two conflicting governments in Mexico and the building potential for a revolution, American corporate media channels like CNN have instead decided to play reruns of Obama’s pastor. Oh, that guy sure is scary America. Know what’s even scarier? All of Mexico is plotting ways to leave their country and steal your job, and that’s all you need to know about the country.
