Well spoken piece JW.

An aside comment about the Mexico reducing it’s use of Glyphosate. I have a good friend who has lived in Oaxaca Mexico for more than 40 years. (She is American but now has Mexican Citizenship.) She and her ex-husband had a small organic farm there for many years.

Her experience with the Mexican government’s stated plans for the ‘elimination of non GMO corn’ and now the ‘reduction of glyphosate’ in agriculture is that they are often merely words, and the new ‘policies’ are rarely put into place on a country wide basis.

In Oaxaca the ‘campaign’ to eliminate GMO corn has had more success due to the promotion of the ‘indigenous species’ of corn that are from that region. And that the government of the state of Oaxaca tends to be supportive of the ‘indigenous’ history of the state.

So as far as the ‘reduction of the use of glyphosate’ throughout Mexico remains to be seen.

Mexico has always been corrupt up to the highest level of society and the government.

The difference between the thinking of the Mexican people and the average US citizen, is that they (Mexicans) ‘know’ their government is corrupt, from the poorest segment of the population up to the richest, that that’s just the way Mexico works.

As opposed to here in the US where many thought our government ‘was on our side’ and not corrupt. The past 3 years has brought that to light, that we as a country are really no better than Mexico, or any other ‘third world’ country.

Pretty much how the majority of Mexicans feel and know about their Government, the Government Officials, and The Wealthy Ruling Class!

"The point is the Deep State know there is no future for themselves and they are just trying to take as many down in their fall."

Michael Knowles recently released an "interview with an exorcist" and the exorcist said the exact same thing but said it was Satan, not the Deep State, trying to take as many down in their fall, and Satan knows his time is coming to an end...

Maybe the same thing?

I agree, one and the same. What a fascinating time to be alive.

As always, you’ve inspired thought that runs like a novel in my head. For the moment however, thanks for the 🎶. It’s a goodie! When I played it, I was basking in the full sun, no sunscreen and clear blue skies (I stopped giving energy to the “unclear” ones and voilá! ;)… Go Down River was perfectamundo 🫶🏻☀️ ¡Gracias!

Good for Mexico! Standing strong to try to preserve healthy crops. Now on to visualizing the US doing the same!

It's pretty wild that glyphosate is still a thing. And Mexico may just be using this as a bargaining chip, but I still like that they said it.
