the China is making Mexico do cartel terrors to America's Freedom on the Border is absolutely a narrative being pushed in popular fictional media.

backstory:

i am a cultural slop pig. i watch the shit out of spy thrillers, provided they have spectacle worthy production value, tight direction, and some dramatic tension. i always have, even when my politics were shitty/incoherent. hell, they probably led to me having shitty takes, because so much of american media is heavily influenced by the NatSec / Military community. anyway, my politics don't suck, but i am a pig so i watch the shit.

among the most recent Taylor Sheridan properties to be developed for Paramount+ is this series called "Lioness". it's got Zoe Saldana in it as the lead who manages this like clandestine force inside the state department of women deep cover/long term infiltration/assassination agents. it's got some other marquee star power in it: Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Kelly (you'll know the face if not the name). this is S-tier prestige slop for me. and while Sheridan historically flirts and skirts overtly fash themes in his works, the action is high octane (i like TV that gives me anxiety) and he usually frustrates and complexes portraits of american life with critiques of what lies beneath (racism, genocide, capitalist extraction). i think he absorbed some talent from working with Denis Villaneuve on Sicario on how to pace movies and more importantly build tension in scenes, but unfortunately lost or ignored Denis' deeper insight.

anyway, apologies for the long justification of my watching this shit, but we're into S2 of Lioness and holy shit the overarching plot is INSANE. literally, the state department "knows" the PRC's MSS is pushing "the mexican government" to use the "cartels" to probe and test US national security responses to overt political violence on the US side of the mexico border. i shit you not, the season opens with a highly professional cartel death/capture squad breaking into a US congresswoman's home in south texas in the middle of the night, murdering her husband and two small children, and kidnapping her to torture her back across the mexico border. (the action sequence is legit crazy). the state department briefs the president that it's obviously PRC MSS probing us to see how the US will respond. no evidence for this is presented, it's just stated and accepted. i wondered if maybe this was a setup for some future reveal that the bosses are just making shit up, but by all accounts halfway through the season its being played this way. still no hard evidence of china being at all involved, but they are running this entire crazy longshot cartel infiltration operation to find out who the MSS contact is in mexico running this and then put them in the ground to "send a message" back to Beijing. seriously, outside of the action sequences and minutae of the plot, when they stop back to give an update on the bigger picture, i feel like the story is actually making me dumber. also, Taylor wrote himself into this one too as an "aging operator" type of guy who is cool because "beware the old man in a dangerous job". like, kudos to writing yourself into your own series so you can double dip the payroll and get your meals/workouts to get all jacked covered as compensated work time, but seriously STFU with that role. thankfully it was just a 2 ep miniarc. that's almost as bad as Shyamalan writing himself as having the role of a visionary writer / prophet / savior of humanity in Lady in the Water. like how does one even walk around with a head that big?

anyway, there's obvious evidence of the NatSec/Mil collaboration with this series. tons of shots from military bases with lots of wide angle shots of military equipment, gear, etc. so it's a straight line to say this plot arc was accepted if not bespoke crafted for their approval.

so yeah, this Mexico is China's Client State and the Cartels Are Its Loyal Paramilitary is a specific narrative being pushed by the superstructure.

Link because I'm not a

she had all her opponents murdered and was able to allow China to create a whole new stream of income for her cartels. She is satan herself.

Damn, they're making her sound even cooler.

This guy's just corncobbing, throwing out all the scary words

A claim like “There’s cultural genocide of Uyghurs in Xinjiang” is simply unreal to most Westerners, close to pure gibberish. The words really refer to existing entities and geographies, but Westerners aren’t familiar with them. The actual content of the utterance as it spills out is no more complex or nuanced than “China Bad,” and the elementary mistakes people make when they write out statements of “solidarity” make that much clear. This is not a complaint that these people have not studied China enough — there’s no reason to expect them to study China, and retrospectively I think to some extent it was a mistake to personally have spent so much time trying to teach them. It’s instead an acknowledgment that they are eagerly wielding the accusation like a club, that they are in reality unconcerned with its truth-content, because it serves a social purpose.

What is this social purpose? Westerners want to believe that other places are worse off,

Problem 5: Implying that Latin American drug cartels, the Blackrock corporation, and the Chinese Communist Party all have the SAME goals, which they bribe politicians to achieve.

Its not as illogical as it seems, they referring to the very common Trumpism of fighting against the deep state which includes "globalists". They see don't globalists expansion of American influence and its benefits to the American empire(loosely imperialism like) but rather its adverse effects in contrast to the conservative ideals.

This way CPC is tied together with globalists through a plan and a vision to destroy the American way of living through an economic and social(cultural) war.

Mexico, the drug and border "crisis" is only the front line of this "war".

the reddit thread about this is full of kkkrackkkers, both chuds and turbolibs, implying that she's owned by cartels, and their evidence (when they actually try to post it) is always specifically about previous presidents

so unfortunately it isn't just the RETVRN people

proving someone else is talking bullshit almost doesnt matter, he's said those things and some people will take him for his word.
