These are very dark times in the United States. Between the scandals created by the partial filtering of the facts of the Epstein case – which are very poorly understood by the current elites, including the president – massive economic, political and social polarization, the imminent collapse of their society and infrastructure, and the deadly epidemic of drug addiction known as the “fentanyl crisis”, this nation is facing an extraordinarily difficult time. It seems that the current power elite needs some distractions that act as a “humor curtain” to destroy the imminent decline of the other power. In this context, frankly dangerous rhetoric and conspiracy theories emerge that resonate well with those who, out of disappointment and despair, tend to fall for these scams, or with other personalities who cash in on these electoral or political discourses and create division through any necessary media.
In the age of conspiracy theories, this creates a book whose arguments – childish, without substance and without apparent feeling – seem like fiction and should not be taken seriously again. I mean the new book (now best seller) Peter Schweizer, an influential political investigator and American commentator, I know all about his books and reports on political corruption, conflicts of interest and the finances of political elites, especially states. Schweizer is an influential figure in conservative circles. He is the president of the Instituto de Rendición de Cuentas del Gobierno (Government Accountability Institute, GAI), a conservative think tank dedicated to investigating corruption, and is affiliated with the Heritage Fund, now one of the most prominent conservative think tanks in the United States, which has marked the Trump administration’s agenda through the so-called “Proyecto 2025”. Author of books like Blood money, Clinton Cash, Secret Realms y Red-Handedwrite now The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon (The Invisible Coup: How Elite States and Foreign Farms Use Immigration as a Weapon).
This polemical manuscript presents migration as a hidden weapon of political change. Without much evidence or hard facts – and at best based on ideology and deduction – Schweizer argues that internal and external actors have abused and manipulated migration flows to influence state policy. Furthermore, it should also be noted that Mexico’s extensive consular presence in the United States (compared to England and China, the country has 53 consulates, six and six respectively) is part of a deliberate strategy to influence elections and weaken state oppression.
Yes, I read it well, without providing hard evidence – and better supported by ideology and deduction – Schweizer refers to this conclusion, which, although popular with the public craving spectacle and easy thinking in convulsive times, seems more like a funny conspiracy theory. This argument is not very serious, as Mexico has historically maintained a large red consular post in the old country, which is its main trading partner. It should be noted that Red has always cultivated organizational capacity and maintains many other deficiencies, especially in the effective support and support of communities of people who have serious needs in the United States. The possibility of a coup and conspiracy by Mexican “bad” men against the political establishment in the United States seems ludicrous. The coup that Schweizer has is “invisible”, we wonder why it can’t be detected or seen – given the possibility that it doesn’t exist. Regardless of the childishness and innocence of the book’s arguments, this may come as a big surprise considering today’s Trumpist narrative, which is planning a possible United States military invasion of Mexican territory, with all its nefarious potential consequences.
What cannot be disputed is the political marketing apparatus that helped promote the book and made it available to a huge audience. The man who received this material from the United States power elite and even the executive branch was remarkable. Donald Trump publicly campaigned and responded An invisible coup at a time when there was a heavy promotion of materials associated with the media ecosystem towards Trump. The book is listed as number one in twenty in the nonfiction category of major United States book lists, including the list bestsellers from New York Timesto occupy the top spot in the last published week.
The response of Claudia Sheinbaum’s government should be much stronger; This type of criminal conspiracy must be condemned with much greater force. Asimism, this rhetoric should cause an uproar among the people of Mexico; One should possibly read the papers on this matter and examine the hard data and evidence of the conspiracy planned by the author of this best seller. The conspiracy theories contained in the Swiss manuscript are written into a much fuller and more complex narrative, which is accompanied by a kind of elegance of drug addiction in rural areas of the American Union and the fentanyl crisis (Hillbilly Elegy) in many regions, which is attributed exclusively to cartels of Mexican origin – which eliminates any responsibility for drug demand. For some, this rhetoric would justify the military intervention on Mexican soil that Trump planned after his first term in office.
