MexicoBlog Back On-line

We apologize to our audience, and especially our subscribers, that we have not been posting for several days over the past week. Our posting has also been somewhat irregular during the month of July. This is because we have been in the process of moving from Pátzcuaro, Michoacán to Mexico City, aka. Distrito Federal or D.F. The move has involved three trips between the first of July and last week. During the process, we also had a computer crash.

We are now in Mexico City, settling into an apartment in Delegación Coyoacán with front-row views of the snow-covered volcanos, Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl. We are here in order to be of further assistance to the Americas Program and its tireless and fearless director, Laura Carlsen. We will be doing more on the issue of challenging the U.S.-led drug war, including attending and networking at a Latin American conference here in Mexico City in September, and a U.S. conference in Los Angeles in November. We will also be seeking further ways to bring to the attention of U.S. citizens - and citizens of the world - the deleterious impact of U.S. policies on immigration and human rights.

But for now, back to work on the blog for our daily updates of the news on the whack-a-mole drug war, the immigration crackdown and other locuras, the insanities of U.S. policy that undermine Mexico.
