Documentary on a country dominated by a near neighbour the USA, but rich in oil resources, Mexico. However, in a country dominated with the thought that the revolution is only half over is Mexico a potential Iran on American doorsteps?

VIDEO HERE; www.informationclearinghouse.info/article19509.htm

This is pretty long, in 6 parts, but if you want to understand what is going on with México, this is a pretty good documentary. This is not a problem that is going to go away. Although this is dated in 1980, the same things hold true today, only more so because of NAFTA, which has forced tens of thousands of the poorest of the poor in México off of their ancestral lands.

Obviously Mexico's crude oil reserves must have been vastly overstated in the beginning as Pilger makes these wild claims that by the end of the 1980s Mexico's production would far exceed that of Saudi Arabia. That never happened and now its Cantarell Field is in irreversible decline.

That is a fact; they were. They were compared, favorably, to reserves in Saudia Arbia. And there may be more reserves in México that, like within the United States, have been tapped and then closed. That is the thing about when corporations and governments get really, really chummy; no one knows what is really the truth.

When a man who is honestly mistaken hears the truth, he will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest. ++++ Attention, Shrub; A life of evil is ultimately a life of wretchedness.
