GENERATION-ZOTA Notes from the Ground Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio "The end justifies the means," and the supreme end of politics, in that sense, is power. Constantly changing cell phones, that day he had a brand-new SIM card. Without having memorized all his contacts yet, he relied on a physical directory. Used to searching with just one hand, he dialed the number of the go-between for those with money and media power. As soon as the man answered, he told him it was urgent to meet, that he was waiting at the usual place, and that he would be there in a couple of hours. His assistant asked for instructions. As soon as he hung up, Alex told him to prepare the most discreet vehicle. Swiftly, the aide ran down the stairs and, already behind the wheel, asked the boss if they were going to the “apartment” of one of his “little secrets.” Alex, settling into the passenger seat, confirmed with a nod. The chameleon paled in comparison to the cross-dressing of that political leader: b...

GENERACIÓN-ZOTA Apuntes desde el suelo Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio “El fin justifica los medios”,  y el fin supremo de la política, en ese sentido, es el poder. Cambiando constantemente de aparato celular, ese día estrenó un chip nuevo. Sin haber memorizado aún todos sus contactos, se ayudaba con un directorio físico. Acostumbrado a buscar solo con una mano, marcó el número del intermediario entre ellos y los del dinero y los medios. En cuanto éste contestó, le indicó que urgía verlo, que lo esperaba donde siempre y que, en un par de horas, estaría ahí. Su ayudante solicitó instrucciones. Tan pronto colgó, Alex le pidió que preparara el vehículo más discreto. Raudo, el asistente bajó las escaleras y, ya puesto al volante, preguntó al jefe si iban al “depa” de una de “sus secretitos”. Alex, acomodándose como copiloto, confirmó con un movimiento de rostro. El camaleón se quedaba corto ante el travestismo del susodicho líder político: pantalones amplios de mezclilla, camiseta azul y, enc...

Descanse en paz Víctor Manuel. Descanse en paz Carlos Manzo A propósito de la tragedia política y de la tragedia humana Apuntes desde el suelo Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio   ¿A quién le duele realmente  la muerte de Carlos Manzo y Víctor Manuel?   La clase política opositora -pequeña no por su estatura, sino por su mentalidad- junto con la desorientada clase política en el poder, ha respondido al artero asesinato de Carlos Manzo con un debate estéril y absurdo, acusándose mutuamente. Unos afirman que México se ha convertido en un narco-Estado; otros replican que la inseguridad actual es herencia directa de los gobiernos del PRIAN, responsables de sembrar la violencia que nos azota desde hace más de tres sexenios.   El grave problema de la violencia en México tiene sus raíces en el sexenio del expresidente Felipe Calderón, quien, sin una estrategia integral y obedeciendo los intereses geopolíticos de Estados Unidos, creyó que bastaba con el uso del poder ca...

  Rest in Peace, Víctor Manuel. Rest in Peace, Carlos Manzo On the Political and Human Tragedy of Carlos Manzo’s Death Notes from the Ground   Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio   The petty opposition political class in Mexico -petty not in stature but in mindset- alongside the disoriented political class currently in power, has engaged in a sterile and absurd debate following the treacherous assassination of Uruapan’s mayor, Carlos Manzo. Each side accuses the other: some claim that the Mexican government has become a narco-state; others respond that the current insecurity is a direct legacy of the PRIAN governments, responsible for sowing the seeds of violence that have plagued us for over three presidential terms.   This grave issue dates back to the administration of former President Felipe Calderón, who, lacking a sound strategy and obeying the dictates of our northern neighbors, believed that military force and the fragile security apparatus of the Mexic...

  Carlos Manzo: A Foretold Death On the Use of the Dead as a Political Weapon Notes from the Ground   Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio   Who Really Mourns the Death of Carlos Manzo?   At times, it seems grotesque and deeply contradictory to ask who truly cares about, feels, and shares the grief over a deceased person. At first glance, one might think that this painful psychological process—grieving—belongs primarily to the family. But that is not the case. In one way or another, we could say that this pain is shared by all their loved ones, friends, relatives, and even pets.   A few days ago, Mexico witnessed the death of Uruapan’s mayor, Carlos Manzo. A death like so many others that occur in this barbaric, blind, and irrational Mexico. And this barbarism is not something tied to a specific moment; rather, it is a barbaric Mexico that bared its claws and teeth with brutal clarity starting with Calderón’s childish strategy of combating drug trafficking witho...

  Carlos Manzo: una muerte anunciada A propósito de uso de los muertos como arma política Apuntes desde el suelo   Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio   ¿A quién le duele realmente la muerte de Carlos Manzo?   A veces resulta grotesco y sumamente contradictorio el hecho de preguntarse quién   realmente le interesa, sienten y comparten el duelo de una persona fallecida. En un primer momento pensaría uno que corresponde principalmente a la familia ese proceso psicológico doloroso que es el duelo, pero no es así, de uno u otra forma podríamos decir que ese dolor lo comparten todos sus seres queridos, amigos y familiares, e incluso, las mascotas.   Hace unos días México sufrió la muerte del alcalde de Uruapan Carlos Manzo. Una muerte como tantas otras más que ocurren en este México bárbaro, ciego, e irracional. Y lo bárbaro no es algo que tenga que ver con un momento particular sino un México bárbaro que asomó sus garras y dientes con toda crudeza a pa...

  MILEI, DON’T GET CARRIED AWAY! On the Asynchronous Parallelism Between Mexico and Argentina Notes from the Ground Dr. Lenin Torres Antonio On Sunday, October 26, legislative elections were held in Argentina, in which the ruling party led by President Javier Milei emerged victorious. His party, La Libertad Avanza , secured 40.84% of the national vote, achieving an unexpectedly large win. This result contrasts with recent defeats suffered by libertarians in provincial elections, particularly in the City and Province of Buenos Aires. With this outcome, Milei and his allies will increase their representation from 37 to 93 deputies and from 6 to 19 senators, consolidating a position that allows them to sustain presidential vetoes and push forward structural reforms. Peronism, grouped under Fuerza Patria , came in second with 31.67% of the vote, while other forces such as Provincias Unidas and the Frente de Izquierda obtained marginal percentages. Many analysts interpret this vi...
