THE CORPORATE MEDIA ON THE LIBERATION OF MEXICO’S EX-DEFENSE MINISTER SALVADOR CIENFUEGOS, KNOWN AS THE “GODFATHER”
Par for the course, the corporate media and
U.S. think tank pundits focus in unison on the Mexican motives for seeking Cienfuegos’
liberation. Nothing what they say is credible about Attorney General William
Barr’s motive to request that a federal judge in New York let Cienfuegos go. Pro-establishment
pundits and journalists allege that Barr was satisfied that Mexico promised to
cooperate with the U.S. in the anti-drug efforts and specifically the capture
of a leading Mexican smuggler of methamphetamine. How laughable. If the U.S. Department
of Justice and the DEA didn’t previously inform Mexico about the imminent
arrest of Cienfuegos because they didn’t trust the Mexican government, why is
it that they now are moved by Mexico’s promise to collaborate? Could it be that
they fear that Cienfuegos would divulge information in a trial that was not to
their liking? Could it be that the Mexican military blackmailed U.S.
authorities by threatening to release information that would have been
incriminating to those north of the border? Why doesn’t the media broach this subject?
It would seem it is virtually taboo. After all, even in the case of Hollywood, in
everything from the Godfather to the Casino, the U.S. mafia kingpins are portrayed
as involved in everything from loansharking to prostitution and gambling but they
stay away from drug dealing. They allegedly leave that to the Latinx gangsters.
