TBR HISTORY ARTICLE - SIODEBAR: EARLY MEXICAN HISTORY
After the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs in 1521, their new colony,
which we would call Mexico but they preferred to call New Spain or
Nueva España, grew to include Guatemala, most of Central America and
the future Southwest United States. Spain would rule this colony for
almost 300 years, extracting vast amounts of gold and some silver from
the conquered people.
The precious metal proved as much of a curse as a blessing, as unwise
Spanish leaders quickly squandered it and then turned to the bankers
for interest-bearing loans to fight needless wars, taking Spain from
wealth to debt servitude.
In 1810, Mexico revolted under Jose Maria Morelos and a priest named
Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. Estimates say the native population
shrank from 10 or 12 million in 1521 to about 1 million by 1650,
thanks mainly to measles and smallpox, to which the native Indians had
no immunity.
Spain alienated not only the Indians but also the native-born White
people, favoring Spanish-born men for plum government positions in
Mexico. Also, taxes were ruinously high. Still, Mexicans remained
loyal until Napoleon conquered Spain and put the king in prison.
Mexicans concluded the only thing to do was to declare a limited
independence so as not to be ruled by France, hoping that the Spanish
royals would be restored someday, and then things could go back to
what Mexican monarchists considered normal.
SIDEBAR: THE ANARCHIC POLITICAL QUAGMIRE THAT IS MEXICO TODAY
BY JOHN TIFFANY
Back in 1938, U.S. journalist George Creel wrote: “Our southern
neighbor, harried by debt and mismanagement, is plunging toward chaos.
Only the United States can save her.” Actually this has been the
history of Mexico since the fall of the benevolent Christian Emperor
Maximilian and the rise of the often Red-leaning mestizo ruling class,
and it has only gotten worse. With America following the same path to
ruination, it is highly questionable whether we can or should continue
to bail out our hostile neighbor.
Mexico has been taking advantage of America for decades by
manipulating our pathological gullibility and generosity, sending
millions of its own unwanted population across the border to leach off
of our welfare system and vote Democratic. The “drug trade,”
fueled by America’s insatiable demand for illegal drugs and
marijuana, has led to the rise of ruthless crime cartels that have
terrorized the good people of northern Mexico and the United States.
Readers will recall the discovery of the burned bodies of 28 student
protesters just outside the city center of Iguala, Mexico in
2014—kids who went missing after a protest over hiring practices at
the Ayotzinapa Normal School turned violent and policemen opened fire
on the demonstrators.
Corrupt cops arrested and took away a number of students, never too be
seen alive again. At other times, Mexicans crossing the border have
killed law-abiding U.S. citizens. In Mexico itself, law enforcement
officers have been beheaded by the drug crime mobs. Ann Coulter in her
book _Adios, America _reported how criminal Edgar Jimenez Lugo, a
U.S. citizen and “anchor baby” originating in Mexico, beheaded
four men and hung their bodies off a bridge south of Mexico City. U.S.
officials were unable to stop him from re-entering America after
serving less than three years in a Mexican prison, because he was born
in San Diego to an illegal alien mother.
“[O]ur anchor baby policy is based on the mental delusions of one
Supreme Court justice [Walter Brennan],” she wrote. Illegal
immigration—mainly from anarchic Mexico—is crushing America. The
mass media is helping the leftists cover up Mexico’s crimes,
including beheadings. Coulter warns that the practice has been going
on in Mexico for years, and has now crossed into the United States.
Strangely the press focuses exclusively on Muslim beheadings. Coulter
says supposed videos of beheadings in the Middle East in fact have
taken place in Mexico.
Notorious murderer Lugo is now believed to be living in Texas.
One can only wonder what Mexico today would be like if it had remained
under European rule.
