Whoever thinks that, there in the New York Court, only a high-ranking Mexican official, a former police chief, the confidant, strategist, friend and right-hand man of Felipe Calderón is being tried is mistaken.
Not only Genaro García Luna is sitting on the defendant’s bench. Not only are his corruptions exhibited and judged -partially-.
Two governments, two States, two regimes are on trial; to its policies, to its diplomacy, to its financial system, to its agencies, to its police corporations and the administration of justice, and to its leaders at the highest level.
All the testimonies delivered on the witness stand, in addition to showing a shameful and terrible image of Mexico, tell us about how a continental system of domination operates in an equally shameful, shameful and terrible manner.
And they also tell us about how corruption, the fusion between organized crime and the government, the cynicism, the impudence with which, from power, they thrived on death, appear on both sides of the border.
The first defendant; the one about whom, in court, not a single word is spoken, whom neither the prosecutors nor the judge dare to touch and whom the defense intends to use, in an action in my suicidal trial because he exhibits it when he tries to exonerate to García Luna, it is the government of the United States itself.
A graduate (after studying at UAM) of the University of Miami, the man who was known as a “super cop” is, from head to toe and from the beginning of his career, a creation of the North Americans.
He was Washington’s man in CISEN and he stole, for his employers in the CIA, DEA, ATF, and the National Security Agency, intelligence information that served to deepen and perfect that system of imperial domination.
He was the man from Washington in the government of Vicente Fox; the creator of that FBI cartoon; the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He was decorated by the Americans, distinguished by his highest officials, to position him, to build his legend, and to make him the main operator of their armed diplomacy.
It was convenient for Washington that Felipe Calderón stole the presidency. A usurper has no choice but to crack down and surrender to a foreign power.
Washington bet on the legitimacy of blood and García Luna, who was his interpreter, his man on the ground, one of the electoral fraud operators, ended up sitting at Calderón’s right hand managing the massacre.
“Pimp of death” Jaime Sabines called cancer. “Pimp of death” was and is Genaro García Luna; a cancer for Mexico, a manager in charge of murderous forces that made, from an imposed war, a huge business for the US arms industry.
Because sitting in the dock is also Wall Street, there is the entire US financial system, which is oxygenated by the wars that it wages outside its borders and also by the money from the drug cartels that it claims to fight and to which the economy American needs.
That same system where those more than 700 million dollars were diluted that, with his own criminal system, he stole from the treasury, over 18 years, García Luna.
The jury will not convict the United States government, but all the evidence, all the spilled blood, screams that it is guilty. As guilty are the three men who, installed in Los Pinos, served Washington until ignominy; Vicente Fox, Felipe Calderón and Enrique Peña Nieto.
And guilty are their parties; the PRI and the PAN.
And guilty are the media that forged the legend of García Luna and the journalists who, hiring themselves for their productions, facilitated his promotion or those others who, with more substance than their own lawyers, defend him today.
Therefore, one does not judge a man or a country. Two regimes and their institutions are on trial. This regime is being judged, which we Mexicans, fed up with so much corruption, threw out of power in 2018 and which a blind and rabid opposition wants to restore.
