As the U.S. government built its latest stretch of border wall, Mexico made a statement of its own by laying remains of the Berlin Wall a few steps away.
The 3-ton pockmarked, gray concrete slab sits between a bullring, a lighthouse and the border wall, which extends into the Pacific Ocean.
“May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” reads the inscription below the towering Cold War relic, attributed to Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and titled, “A World Without Walls.”
It is CIAs operation. Cartels own Mexico, CIA owns the Cartels.
Close the border, stop the flow, and criple the CIA.
Call me crazy, but I think there might be an easier way to control the CIA.
You think a wall will stop the CIA or cartels? You naive sweet summer child :P
Why not remove power from the CIA directly?
At any rate, enforcement policies simply do not work in terms of effectiveness or money. Read Narconomics by Tom Wainwright. He’s an economist who looks at the drug trade like an industry, and he’s got a pretty thorough breakdown of how much these policies cost versus their effectiveness.
Not to mention that the way the CIA justifies itself is by claiming to protect us from all these shadowy evil foreign organizations coming to take your rights. Going all in on a border wall is pretty much endorsing their propaganda wholesale. It’s exactly what a lot of these CIA ghouls want–more money for their buddies in ICE.
For anyone who likes podcasts, check out American Coyote. It’s about Elden Kidd who was famous for getting people across the border in creative ways.
Fun fact: Kidd was once on the show American Gladiator, where he listed his profession as “adventure travel guide”
Thank you so much for this. Just read his story (this GQ.com article) and hitting the podcast, now. What a fucking mensch.
The irony…
Politicians think countries only hold people. Those that are a bit smarter understand that there are wild animals living within political boarders. A population that’s a bit smarter knows that these animals move and migrate around and across the previously mentioned political boarders. So, can at least some of us agree that border walls fuck up migratory patterns and are bad for nature?
It’s so annoying to hear certain folks acting like all the problems in America come from this Thunderdome type situation at the boarder with Mexico. And never do they have any recommendation that doesn’t involve hurting people or invading Mexico out other ridiculous things. Just the other day I heard someone talking about all the Chinese people coming across the Mexico boarder and how they were actually spies for China. Fifteen years ago they were Muslims and terrorists.
