This weekend, the New York Times published an interview with Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. Recommended reading! Why? Where as in other interviews he was reflected as a pragmatic candidate of the left, now he appears to be defiant and willing and a tad bit dangerous....
How far he would take acts of civil disobedience to protest the results would be guided by “the feelings of the people,” he said. Without a recount, he said, the peace of the country is in jeopardy, a threat his opponents have said amounts to blackmail. “One can interpret it however one likes,” he said in the interview, at his campaign headquarters here.
“It’s very simple,” he added. “If we permit electoral fraud, we are accepting that they violate our human rights, and we are not ready to accept that those who voted be insulted. We are going to defend the vote. We are going to defend the democracy.”

It is obvious that this sicko is a master in deceit, the press continues to echo his mental diarrhea presenting it as facts.
Yet, nobody has had the guts to confront him with the pack of lies he is using to manipulate the people.
His fascist ways are cheered by the majority of his followers, without stopping for one minute to think what the long-term consequences of his demeanor really are.
Some "journalists" insist in trying to instill the false notion that the election was tainted by fraud. Had the difference been significantly greater, AMLO's -and his "journalist" servants' rhetoric would still be the same.
What AMLO is really saying -and has been, all along, we just refused to read between the lines- is that the elections are legitimate and clean only if he wins
How much longer until someone is up to the task?
