Watch now (48 min) | On April 28, 2012 an intruder broke through the metal door leading into the garden patio of the investigative reporter Regina Martínez. He apparently surprised the Mexican journalist in her bathroom, where her body was discovered. The diminutive reporter, barely five feet tall, tried to fight off her attacker – skin was found under her fingernails. Her jaw was broken with brass knuckles. A rag was wrapped around her neck. She was apparently suffocated to death. She was one of one hundred and fifty journalists murdered in Mexico since 2000, 15 in the first eight months of 2022. These reporters, poorly paid, often working for local online publications, courageously expose the collaboration between government officials, the police and the powerful drug cartels. Martínez, who was killed at age 48, was working on an investigation into the corruption of two successive governors - Fidel Herrera and Javier Duarte - in her home state of Veracruz, considered the most dangerous place in the world to report.
Hello Chris, while I know you to be a person of immense morals, principles & ethics and I am sure your reporting is not intentionally misleading, I wish this interview would have been put in context to Mexico’s reality since 2018 under AMLO. The listener may believe that this is the reality in Mexico today especially with all the propaganda being put forth from the media and politicians who are openly calling for invasion under the guise of battling the cartels and this is furthest from the truth. I urge all to listen to AMLO’s daily press conference and listen to the changes that have happened in Mexico and the profound changes that this humanist president has made in this beautiful country.
Chris Hedges has been repelled by hard news since the March 2020 lock-downs when he threw the working class under the bus with COVID ... his trademark has since become his tendency to always avoid the issues of tyranny that are right in our face ... when the lockdowns were declared, he refused to stand with the working class against the illegal and unconstitutional mandates and passports ... on this topic he has only said: "it's a tough decision" ... and then he brazenly took sides with big pharma just one month after the explosive court-ordered FDA FOIA release:
On DEC 2, 2021 ...
The FDA was compelled by a court ruling to release Phizer's internal vax data that revealed 1,223 post-jab deaths and 34,762 adverse events in the first 10 weeks of its trial ... The FDA attempted to delay the full release of this data for 75 years!

"I don't think we're going to stop the pandemic and mutations until everybody gets vaccinated" ...
Chris Hedges DID NOT have to take sides on this issue ... he could have said it's a personal decision, but he chose to play it safe and recklessly stand with big pharma ... his worshipers continue to describe him as an activist when that term no longer applies, not since the lock-downs ... he's now a retired activist and a "straddler" ... he's got one foot in "their" world and only one foot in our world ... People just don't understand what happens to journalists once they break into the big-money ... the pseudo-progs like Hedges, Krystal Ball, Briahna Joy-Gray and Katie Halper now all make way too much money to be trusted ... they all narrow the scope of their commentary in fear of being demonetized ... they spend more time studying social media analytics as their perspectives become increasingly predictable ... Chris Hedges is repelled by hard news, he won't go near it, it's just too risky ... I used to love this guy, but not anymore ...
Drugs should be legal. This would solve all these violence problems, and many others to boot. But dealers, corrupt politicians, and cops make too much money from drugs being illegal, and the sheeple have been brainwashed to falsely think that drugs being illegal keeps people from doing them.
Vincente Fox, after he was no longer president of Mexico, said in public and on video that the only way for Mexico to solve its drug problem is to legalize drugs, though of course the U.S. would have to do so also. Bob forbid any of these politicians should be honest while they're still in office and could actually do something, but at least he spoke the truth at some point.
They don’t allow reporters to investigate corrupt politicians because the trail ends at the CIA. I recall viewing a video in which Hillary Clinton was at the Mexican border campaigning for the presidency. She asked by a reporter “when the war on drugs was going to end?” Her reply was, “never, we got to much money invested in it.”
There would be next to no drug trade in Mexico, were it not for the insatiable American appetite for narcotics.
And the underlying income inequality.
And corruption.

Two Americans were murdered last week in Matamoros.

There’s no doubt in mind that the CIA controls the supply of drugs entering the US.
Let’s not forget Gary Webb.
