The Mutant Sheinbaum and the Reporter of a Thousand Questions: Collective Honesty and the New Communism Where All Mexicans Are Honest… According to Claudia
By Dr. Jossalberto Briceno Saenz
In recent days, two comments have reminded me of the way communists speak: The first comes from Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum: “Mexicans who live in the United States are hardworking, honest men and women.” The second comment comes from a reporter at the September 3rd press conference with Secretary Marco Rubio. After Secretary of State Marco Rubio pointed out that he hadn’t asked a single question, but rather a bundle of questions, the reporter—so as not to lose face—excused himself by replying: “It’s something we also do in Mexico, ask multiple questions.”
First of all, Claudia Sheinbaum does not know each and every Mexican in the world. Unless she were the first Mexican mutant with powers of mind reading and telepathy, or the reincarnation of a goddess—Greek, Aztec, or otherwise, which I highly doubt—she cannot speak for all Mexicans. Likewise, at that disastrous press conference, that Mexican reporter who, in his selfishness, could not manage to ask a single question but instead had to throw into the air an endless list of questions that could just as easily have been asked by the other reporters present… that reporter does not represent Mexico either. Yet with zero honesty, he dared to stain the reputation of all Mexican reporters by saying that his flaw was not his own, but a supposed national custom.
Returning to the word “honesty,” which falls from the lips of Claudia Sheinbaum. I believe that reporter has slipped past Sheinbaum’s mental grasp because he wears Magneto’s “Anti-Psychic Helmet” every day, a helmet manufactured by the Soviet Union—or possibly MADE IN CHINA—designed to block the brainwaves of telepath Sheinbaum and protect him from her immense power. Something I sincerely, and immensely, doubt. That word honesty is something I do not see in that Mexican reporter, and frankly, I do not see it applied in many Mexicans. Please, just look at the crime statistics. I hope Claudia Sheinbaum does not contradict me by saying that all the honest Mexicans are in the United States and that the scum of the scum are all in Mexico.
I see Claudia Sheinbaum with communist tendencies. In her, I do not see patriotism but nationalism. A nationalism that has always existed in Mexico and that translates into xenophobia—a xenophobia that kills people for sharing their views if those views do not align with the political tastes of the regime. That is to say, nationalism in Mexico is applied from Mexicans toward Mexicans, not merely from Mexicans toward foreigners.
In Mexico, I do not see admiration or recognition from the population toward other Mexicans, except in cases where those Mexicans are first recognized abroad. Film directors Iñárritu, Cuarón, and Del Toro are an example. Only Mexicans who have achieved success abroad are admired, and therefore they do not feel the exclusion and contempt imposed by other Mexican individuals (the Crab Mentality).
An analysis of Claudia Sheinbaum’s résumé qualifies her as an environmentalist, but a deeper look at her past projects reveals a direction toward disguised communism, since they condition Mexico to a collectivist culture of common transportation rather than individual. Among the projects she has promoted are her promises that the government would allocate resources to public transport: infrastructure projects with an environmental axis to reduce emissions causing climate change, such as the Cablebús system, the Elevated Trolleybus, the purchase of electric buses for the Metrobús, and the renovation of the Passenger Transport Network with low-emission units.
Speaking of security, I do not see a radical change in national education, since, honestly, ethics and civics are in the gutter in Mexico. Are we really talking about all Mexicans being honest and well-behaved? Well then, explain to me why, since taking office, Sheinbaum announced a “significant transformation” in the public security of Mexico City with new divisions focused on civil protection, the creation of the SOS *765 hotline, and the construction of 710 kilometers of “safe pathways” under the slogan “Walk Free, Walk Safe,” designed to guarantee the safety of women in their daily movements through the city. If all Mexicans were honest, none of that would be needed.
I believe that in Mexico everything should begin by explaining to the entire population the meaning of the word honesty within civics and ethics classes, imparted nationally, in a MANDATORY way, for all and to all. Classes in which Claudia Sheinbaum herself should sit in the very first row, so that perhaps at her next press conference she finally understands what honesty and communism mean.
