So here we are, riding on the way home. After a trek of practice to a field 40 minutes away, the important thing to remember here is, uh, with the shine bomb out of the office. As mayor, thank God, even though she's gonna try for a presidential run, she doesn't have the skills. Unfortunately, if they still do an election, she might be able to get in.

But she doesn't have the skills. She's already proven to us that she doesn't care about the children, cuz during the pandemic she did nothing to educate the children. She sits back and lets the, well, we can't go to school, which is funny. For an educator to do something like that, then once again, number one train people died and she hid the report.

So that's the China Bond model. Sadly. Mayor, who the new mayor is a NeoCon. He's been around since in many positions, many positions with Amlo, and he was mayor. Many other people, sadly, his history, unfortunately, it's just as bad. It's clearly his government, the people he worked for, cause he was in social, social pieces.

He, uh,

he did nothing for the poor. The model for the liberals in the United States is very similar to the model that's happening here in Mexico. The current new mayor, he went to Georgetown and studied politics. So once again, it goes back to the same thing. Liberal schools teach very liberal ideas and how to use the people's and poor people's money to run a city, and how to glorify themselves through donations of the rich who give them donations to run for office.

And they take over and kill the middle class, which in the past, the United States has always been. Business owners, small business owners, and all that is being wiped away continue with their bad policies to stripe away Mexico. Now, in 1990, and 2000, when I was traveling internationally very extensively, Mexico was my country.

So you have to wonder, how did it happen so fast? Well, once again, Introduce corporations to low wages, send specific jobs to China, and allow China, to be your manufacturer. Take away manufacturing away from Mexico, and then of course make the uneducated. Or lack of education because the government doesn't support education by their workers.

So now only does China have the textile industry, the everything industry in Mexico. They also have the labor who works for them. So once again, once again, the liberals have done a fantastic job. And people like Claudia Scheinbaum, and even now the new mayor, are following the same social construct as did in the past.

So in Farley, the marina party has become a party of no values. American, for example, takes the gaze, which I am, and pushes them over all others, all the different sexualities, which I do not do. I spent many years working with young gay people who tried to kill themselves every time. I said to them, thou is more critical than being gay.

More important things are not saying and having relationships that are non-monogamous. I have an Oprah moral system cuz that's the deterioration of society, which is obviously what the marina party is doing. Sadly, here we are. In this beautiful city, gay pride's coming up. I don't know if I'll be celebrating.

There's really; there's nothing there for me. Not that I'm not gay. Yes, I truly am, but the sadness of what the social parties are doing, such as the Democrat Party in the United States and now the liberal party Marina party in Mexico, is the deterioration of family values. Family values are important in a social construct to stabilize society to give it gleaning.

So that's where we are today, the state of today in Mexico. Education, politics, and if you want to know more, follow 3mof.com. We're working on projects to help the young and Mexico benefit and be their own business. Even if win the neocons, don't give them options.

I am exhausted by the long haul to Michi K to spend some time with the boys' parents, the young boys who used to panhandle and sell their talent on the Moo Drive, playing music for coins after seeing many videos of these boys over the last four or five years and working with them finally, as they become young teens.

Moving into the adult world, I became more fascinated by what's happening in Mexico and the C M X and the government, how it's completely relevant to understand that the middle class in Mexico doesn't exist. In fact, the middle class that is here is filled by foreigners and foreign companies who are using the lower class to work for them.

All of these things were social designs by politicians too. Maintain the strength and wealth of their government. Meanwhile, make the Mexicans poorer and poorer, and never had the opportunity to rise to a new social class. Things that are clearly, clearly the design of the city of Mexico government and other governments within Mexico.

What to do about it as a dual citizen Mexican who cares about Mexico. Because when I grew up in Mexico when I was very young and I used to come here from the States, I saw Mexico change over the last 40 years in a way that's very negative. Last night, I was driving from a meeting, a business meeting, and I happened to drive through South CVM X. Once again, I was disillusioned and sad that all I saw were corporations from the United States popping up stores and getting tax breaks so that the Mexican poor could work once again.

The current government of Mexico City doesn't care about education. I was once told that education was not the city of ex problem. It was the government problem for the national government. But once I say, well, if that's true, then why don't we have leadership in the city government and teach the national government how to educate the poor?

Well, there's a reason why cuz it doesn't serve the purpose of the city government. And the current mayor in her goals, because obviously, she's a teacher, so she's teaching the poor just to continue to be poor. As I was Mitch O'Connor, I was pretty amazed by what I saw. I saw families generating families, generating families unlike, or much like the world generates families to survive, to become part of the.

The social structure of their life. To generate income. To survive. Not to live, but to survive. Clearly, if you look at any social structure, and that lasts for a long time, that's by design. So clearly in Mexico that has been designed, it's clear by looking at what happened, the last vote in Mexico si in the city of, of the state of Mexico, once again by design.

You see a machine working and injecting what they want for social gain, not for the people, but for the finances of the rich and keeping the poor without giving them education, without giving them ways to transcend selling items on the street that come from China. As I traveled to Mitchell's account, I was also amazed.

I looked at all the stores. I saw what was happening in these hundred-year-old-plus buildings. That was just amazing to see that they are still there. After a hundred-plus years, people still vending on the streets. That one time was filled with horses and carriages. I didn't take a lot of pictures of these things because I was mesmerized by what I was seeing.

I was transcended into a world 150 years back. Of movies that I saw that almost won Academy Awards, I was amazed by what I was seeing hasn't changed for the poor of Mexico, but the politicians who gained from bringing these corporations in fatted their pockets at the expense of the people who put them in office.

The CDMX mayor is no different. She's quite the same. Sadly, as a first-generation immigrant, you would think and hope more than what we see. What I also noticed is the same individual who wants to become president never speaks very much. She has others speak for her, which is an example of being a puppet and not leading the poor Mexican or the Mexican people to anything other.

But what is this today, what it is today? So you have the rich and you have the poor. As we finished our trip with the young boys, talking to the parents, and getting all the ne necessary paperwork so we could help them become a different class of people giving them the opportunity so they can send money back to their families so they can participate in the vertical rise to hopefully something special for them and their family as we did this.

I'll never forget the image of what I saw. I'm not going to repeat it here because some would take it wrong, but it was a beautiful image. The families sitting with future families, taking the pennies that they had and making a meal, helping each other as the government was choosing not to help them—one of the things.

That my assistant talked to them about giving the young wards that working with more education.

The answer was, well, we're still waiting for the government to give us some money so we can begin their education. And that's why the boys aren't so interested in education. Now, I do know that education is the gateway to everything. You have to work hard; you have to have the opportunity. And you more importantly had to have a government that's willing to help you because if you don't, the rich will only help themselves.

That is Mexico. My first political involvement was watching my brother Alpen work with B in Nafta. I was very proud of him and thought so much was going to happen. At the end of that experience working with Fox and John McCain, I realized Mexicans on both sides of Rio would stay poor. I'm not saying some will make it because some will cop out, some will work with the system, and some will compromise so that they can have and they can be better than the others in their social class.

Not help them, but help themselves. In the movie The Searchers, John Wayne uses some Mexican banditos in a restaurant to find the woman that the Indians stole, who no longer wanted to live with her family, but has chosen to live with the Indians. It was funny and sad. It is in that movie. The Mexicans were the Bandidos who were paid to give information.

They were the middlemen who took the money and food and ran.

It's sad because that's not the Mexican people. That was a group of Mexican people who so doubted, just like we see many politicians today. Who's sold out for greed, first-generation immigrants who came here on the whim in trust and love of Mexico, to give them an opportunity who's willing to sell out once again for money and fame, A woman of all people in this scene, the last scene I was talking to my assistant about this particular scene.

And I said I want to include that in the movie that the government gives us the money, but they won't cause it's too important to tell a story, and they want stories that are not real. They want stories that sell illusion, where I want to tell stories, that show people how to be stronger and overcome.

There's people kind of coming in and out, but this is live chat about the world. Anything you wanna talk about and let's see if we can gain a theme. I actually run a comedy show online as well as was live when I was in la, but I moved to Mexico City now. So now I'm living in Mexico City. And we're looking at maybe, perhaps starting our standup there.

What is the first thing someone should be aware of? So their first visit to Mexico City. What is the first thing someone should be aware of for their first visit to Mexico City? Well, first of all, Mexico City has changed since the eight years that I first came here. Right now, the city has been, went through a redevelopment in the downtown area, and it actually, uh, with the, in, with the influx of Ubers into me city, I honestly think it's very, very safe.

Um, Have no problems taking Ubers anywhere. Uh, the, I've noticed that the, even the taxi taxis have improved their services in Mexico City. As far as anything else, um, the water of course is still not good for drinking, but you can get used to it. Uh, it just takes a little bit of time. But if you're in a short term, I just drink a lot of water out of a bottle.

They sell it everywhere. That's very, very cheap price. They don't gouge you here. Also, uh, the food is great, the tacos. Uh, the thing I don't like about Mexico City just to inform you, is you can have two restaurants across from each other. One's focused on the American dollar, so they'll charge you maybe three quarters of the American dollar for food.

For a nice restaurant Americanized experience across the way, you'll get a more of a homegrown, um, Mexican restaurant that's no self proprietor ship, and it'll be one quarter of the price . So you have to decide what you like. Oh, Los Angeles. Yes. Oh. But it's very safe here. I actually go to the United States almost every Thursday.

I fly out of city, um, um, cmx, I mean, not cmx. Yeah. CMX Airport. I arrive in, in, in the United States, and then I fly back the next day. I use Uber to get there. Uh, I get, when I get, when I get home, I use Uber to come back to my home, which is in the middle of El is the Centro, the Mexico City. Um, and I have no problems.

Nothing, nothing very safe. Uh, if you're a traveling female, you, you'll have no problems either. I don't see any problems here. I've been here now for 18 months, going on 19 months, and I've seen no issues that were substantiated as what they show you in Hollywood. Los Angeles. Yeah, Los Angeles. I lived there for quite a while.

I read my comedy show there. And I did a lot of films there as well. Made some films and, uh, both as the actor, as a producer, and basically, yeah, I like la a little pricey. Uh, very pricey. So I've kind of, uh, enjoyed being here a little bit better.

So what part of the, what part of the world do you live in? Prairie. Prairie Light

waits for some feedback.

Hi, Dorothy. How you doing Dorothy? How you doing? Dorothy?

Oh, Colorado. I used to live, I used to go to Colorado Springs in my first life, my first 20 years of my life, I was a gymnastics coach. And so I used to go to Colorado Springs, um, every year, two to three times with my athletes because they were high level athletes. . So we'd go to the Tra Olympic Training Center.

So I'd fly through Denver and go to Colorado Springs. Oh, New Mexico. Oh, great. I used to go to New Mexico a lot at the, for the pit, at the pit for gymnastics meets. And I would take all my athletes to the pit for d various, uh, championship meets that were there. So we end up in, um, I think that's, uh, Albuquerque.

Yeah, Albuquerque. That's great. Yeah, I've lived in area, I was born and raised in Arizona and then I went from Arizona to to Oregon. How you doing Bryce? How you doing? I like to watch your videos, Bryce. I watch them often. It's great to see you there. And uh, yeah, I lived in Oregon. I lived in Washington, I lived in California, San Francisco area, as well as La Santa Monica.

And maybe we can chat. You wanna chat? Can you chat yet? I don't know. It doesn't say you can chat. But yeah, I watch your stuff.

It's great. You remind me of a good friend of mine, uh, when I was in college. Yes, I'm doing good. I'm, I'm home now, right now in Mexico City and, uh, I decided to stay for the holidays, so the next few days, although me, Thanksgiving isn't a holiday here, um, I. Uh, people that I, I work with here, so I'm gonna spend my holiday here with them, although I don't know if I'm gonna make any Turkey

So that's what I do. And, uh, so what's up? What are you up to, uh, Bryce? What's going on? What's going on in your life? What's different? What's fun? Uh, what's interesting? Tell me something interesting about your life that I don't know, or No one knows if you want . I do run a comedy show. I do it online right now, but I also have done it in, um, uh, in, in LA in a comedy club there.

And right now, uh, I'm here in Mexico. We are thankful for Mexican food. I am very thankful for Mexican food. You know, I, I do tacos. I love the tacos here and every quarter there seems to be a good taco stands. Happy birthday. Happy holidays, Bryce. Yes. So we have some, where are you from, Bryce? We have one person that's here from Colorado and New Mexico.

And where is Bryce from? Although I think you said it. Oh, that's awesome. Awesome. How did that go? The election polls? How? How did that go? Oh, Atlanta, right. I knew that. I knew that. I actually used to work in Atlanta. I used to fly from Portland, Oregon to Atlanta, every work in Atlanta for a week and come home on the weekend.

I did that for several years. I was living in Portland, Oregon. Uh, this is in the top.com days when there's a lot of money. So companies paid us lots of money and we were able to fly back and forth at Will. So yeah. Atlanta, yes, big, big community. How was the, uh, tell us a little bit about your experience on the polls on election day.

What did you feel, uh, after? Just ask that, after the event, what did you feel?

About the election, uh, what did you feel? Did you feel uncomfortable? Did you feel everything felt good? Um, what, what posture your mind working as a poll? Uh, as a poll. Poll day. Oh, wow. What happened? What you just felt that the, the election didn't sway right. Or you felt that. Um, the way things were voting was handled.

Were the machines breaking? What, what did you think

clerk? That's an important role.

Yeah. Ha. That's a bit of a joke in itself.

That's great. And in fact, I was gonna, if I was going back to LA I was considering to work on the election again. I worked in 2000 before I came to Mexico. And then when I been here since then and I was considering going back cuz I was offered some opportunities and then I decided just to keep the opportunities I have now in, in Texas.

Yeah, that's a, that's that's true. Sometimes people don't know what they want and so it's easier just to follow. Unfortunately, the American system isn't built on that. What had you moved to Mexico? Honestly, I'm gonna be completely honest with you. Liberty, and opportunity. I, I, I've been to Mexico eight years ago for the first time when I made a film.

When we finished the film at the end of this shoot, it was two, two week shoot, I just felt that I wanted to come back and yes, you're right. The American system is built on conformity and not creation. You're absolutely right. So I decided that I would research my family background. Little did I know , that um, I had a very strong family background in Mexico.

Uh, so much so that I was able to get my Mexican citizenship. And I also found that my surname, Ortega had a bit of popularity here that I didn't know about. and, uh, that's a kind of, I guess by living in the United States, I was concentrating on my life there. And it wasn't till I started looking for alternatives and dissatisfaction with being a Mexican in the United States, even though I was, um, very gringo.

Um, my me, my family is very Mexican. My brothers and sisters are, and my mother are very modern, which is very dark-skinned. I just happen to be very light. And I just decided that I just wasn't satisfied with, you know, what was going on in the United States. So I decided, well, you know what? I have my citizenship.

Why not come down here and see how it does give it a year? Uh, about six months into it I decided, okay, I'm gonna stay. And then a year and a half into it, uh, I said, I'm definitely gonna stay. And that's kind of where I'm at now. Isn't creation a come up? I don't know what that, um, I am a Mexican also. Oh, wow.

That's great. Awesome. That's awesome. You know, you know, I, I, I have a long history of, of being my, I have, I have, my family has been in, in politics indirectly. Um, My whole life, my brother who just passed away was into politics. Uh, my other brother's wife who just passed away, unfortunately, she was very big into politics, various roles in the background, and I always just had a different way of looking at things.

But I was too busy in my own life and I didn't really care much. But now that I've gotten older, I decided to take a little bit of different approach. And although I've always worked with young people, I decided to be more of a voice of reason and, uh, freedom. Mexican Kent. That's a funny, funny phrase.

you know, it's, it's, it's, um, uh, it's so funny that you said that because the, the, the, the people in Mexico are very diverse. Uh, there's a lot of people who are light-skinned like me. There's the moos who are dark-skinned, and then there's other ethnicities here that come from all the whole region. In fact, the current mayor of Mexico City, she's first generation from, from Russia, uh, Russia area.

I think she also, I thought it was Poland. No hung, no hungry, hungry Russian background. She's a first generation Jewish person. who lives here and who's running for mayor, who's mayor? Um, I won't go into her if you watch my videos, you pretty much know what I think about her, but she's first generation. And the bottom line is, um, Mexico is a very, uh, amazing country with a v lot of culture, a lot of poor culture that has made it great, uh, even though they have little, little means.

So it's very, uh, very diverse and that's why I like it here actually. It's a fun community to live in. And, uh, I have a lot of people that I, um, work with here, uh, young people, um, street vendors, and uh, I love it. I love it. So,

Well, Bryce, you're right. Poverty is ly rising in the United States. Um, one of my biggest dissatisfactions, and one of the reasons I left was because living in Santa Monica, I've been going there since I was a kid. I love it there. Santa Monica, California team was just an amazing. It has the Hispanic culture.

It has, uh, the, uh, beauty, the beach, the the Ferris wheel on the part on the, on the, on the pier. Nice long walks I would take every day. Then I start going to Venice area and it just start getting worse and worse and worse. And since I'd been going to Santa Monica since I was 16 years old, I just was blown away by it.

And yeah, the peer. I love the peer, but I started seeing a lot of homeless and I started seeing politicians coming in and out, in and out, and they never were addressing the issue, and I just felt dissatisfied. Uh, the last seven years of my life, living in California Santa Monica, before I came to Mexico. I was very disappointed with what I saw, and I started looking at the demographics and the numbers.

And the numbers weren't jiving for me. What I mean by the numbers is, uh, you know, I work in it and I had to do what they call, you know, we had to do balance sheets and the balance sheets always have to match up, but I was noticing the balance sheets weren't matching up. And I decided, well, either I have to do something about it or I need to go somewhere where I can do something about it.

So that's why I ended up. Yeah. You know, it's funny that you said that because politicians on both sides have been addressing the issue, but wouldn't do nothing about it. For example, in 1920, I know 1942 was the, uh, there was a act, a Civil Rights Act for, um, helping the homeless. I forget, I forget the name.

And when I started researching this, I couldn't believe that this act was in place and passed by Congress. And the Senate, and here we were a hundred years later and nothing had happened. No, not a hundred, but 70 years later, nothing had happened. So then I realized billions of dollars were being spent and nobody was, somebody wasn't accounting for those dollars.

For example, I worked with a lot of homeless in, in Washington, Seattle, Washington. In fact, ironically, a funny story is I was at the Union Gospel Mission in Santa Monica co. I mean in Seattle, Washington. And one night, a, a guy walked in and wanted to do a, a speech about drug addiction, and that person was Robin Williams.

Okay. As I saw him do his speech in front of all the people who were living there and sleeping there and paying $5 to be in the union gospel missing per night. I was pretty blown away by a lot of things. Um, I was blown away by himself, how he acted in his body. and his stories. But then I was also saddened because when I looked at what was happening in the Union Gospel mission, the people were having to pay $5 to sleep in this place.

And at the same token they were having, they were having a bedbug epidemic epidemic. So not only were they having to show up to sleep there at night at 4 30, 5 o'clock at night, They were because the doors shut down at six 30, but they also were sleeping and paying $5 to sleep in bed bucks. And that kind of was the crest of why I said there's a problem here.

So then I started going to Goodwill because Goodwill is based outta Seattle. So I went there and I started working in the backend department. Cause you know, I was a little bit of, people knew who I work. I had a, a company. So then as I was working with, um, the company I had was an employment agency and I was hiring felons and people who were at high risk and couldn't get jobs.

So I hired them to do jobs that were actually pretty good jobs, uh, that, uh, companies would let us work with them on certain things. And, uh, that means they had visibility. They, they were never ashamed of what they were doing, uh, because no one knew their backgrounds. And at the same token, we had a. Good control because they knew that I was there and working for them as well.

But I started working the Salvation Army and I No, Goodwill. Oh my gosh. After two to three weeks of several meetings, I just, I couldn't do it anymore. I said, I can't do this because I'm seeing too many things that are, are bad. They're taking advantage of the customers, they're taking advantage of the funding.

Uh, it's just, I, I don't want anything to do with. So I just backed off and moved on and, uh, my business didn't associate with them anymore. Uh, brown versus Board of Education. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Brown versus Board of Education. You know,

after dealing with this stuff long enough, you start second guessing what's this all about? And that when I say second guessing, I don't mean second guessing. You see what it's. You're just always a little stunned that you're actually having this conversation with yourself and that stunning conversation is the crest of the problem, and that's, that's, it's just brown versus education is class example.

America has legislative laws so that they don't have to hold their word. Well, that's a good way of saying it. I like to say it a little differe. I like to say it that America, United States has built process so that way the process can be the bad guys, so that way they can always look like they're doing good.

That's politicians. But the process is distinctly written so that two things happen. A, they are not accountable to the process. And B, they put bodies in front of them that are accountable so people can attack them. The policing in in, in United States is the exact same issue when I was in Washington State because I was working with so many people who were felons and who were on probation.

be with, you're the oaxacans, careful with the Oaxaca cheese tacos. Those things are . They'll up. You're right. Okay. You much and bye-Bye guys. See you tomorrow. Bye. Right. Thank you. Thank you.

NoGo, another Shinebomb liberal bull crap. That doesn't work. If you read this case, it's pretty funny. It's a story about a man who abandons his children and then finds a new wife, and then they hide their identity so they can't be found, so they don't have to pay back all the money they owe.

The. And the children and the state. Let's throw them in prison. Better yet, let's kill them both. Yes. Let's sever their ties and cut their throat because they deserve to die so their children can cry at their funerals. Oh, see, this strategy is such a liberal mind mess—that unprofessional. Successful politicians like shine bomb and liberals just end up throwing fathers and mostly fathers and a few mothers in prison just go to the United States.

There are millions of dead deadbeat dads living in prison. Wow. That accomplished a lot. Right? So you could proudly say your father's in prison. That's what you want. Casa 996.

This is a liberal mind mess. This is precisely what I'm talking about. US policies that are failures. Failures. But you know what it does? It locks up men. Yes, it locks up men—Mexican men in prison. So Misal politician mayor, is that your object? or are you just not smart enough to look at the history of what happens in the United States where you got your education, and now you're just abusing Mexicans?

I didn't grow up with a father. No, My brothers didn't grow up with a father. No, my sister did grow up with a father. My mother was beautiful, just like most Mexican. But she took the responsibility and made us proud, and taught us how to work. She didn't use the government to make us move forward, like shine bombs in Mexico City want to because they're lazy and just want to throw men in prison so they can stay in power.

They're on outside, eh? No. No, not at all. Throwing men in prison because they're deadbeat dads is not the solution. There is a so, But see, it takes somebody with the brain who's seen it happen to understand how to solve it. Indeed that isn't Shinebomb, but she just doing American ideas that fail. Fail the Mexican man.

Hm, What a shame. What a waste of time.

4M IMMIGRANTS, WHAT IS NEXT? The path for the future. #immigrants #mexico #crises

So welcome to another episode of yo soy. We are out of Mexico City. And we talk about what's happening in Mexico and what's happening in the United States for Mexicans. I choose to use Mexicans as my demographic. I am Mexican as well as I choose to use Mexican because there are 70 plus million of us in the United States.

And also, there are 120 million of us in Mexico. So there are a lot of us, and my goal is to teach and make sure we understand the power we have as Mexicans to make the change on both sides of the border, which are the United States and Mexico as Mexican. So here I go today; I wanna talk about immigration, illegal immigration.

I want to talk about the impact it has on the United States and what it's doing to Mexico. As far as my perspective, I work in Dallas, Texas. So I have to travel through McMillan, Texas, many times to make a connecting flight or if I want to take a bus to Dallas from Mexico. When I do this, I'm often amazed by how often I arrive at seven o'clock in the morning and can't get off that bus.

Or at least I can say I can't get on a bus until two o'clock the following day. Why? Because I'm seeing shiploads of immigrants coming from the Catholic diocese center, across the street from the Greyhound in the Callen. And they're walking across every time a new bus shows up to go to Dallas or another city.

So when I do this, I'm always amazed, as an American and Mexican citizen, that I'm being pushed to the side to get transport services by our government. They're not shipping them to. Dallas or Austin? No, by any means, because the buses they have on 'em are often tagged cities like Oklahoma, Phoenix, Tucson, Seattle, Portland, Florida, and many other cities.

And you have to ask yourself, how is the government giving money to this Catholic church to pass people to another part of the country? It's like an old machine, though. I sit there, and I watch every day, people come in speaking Spanish to these individuals and then giving them lunches, having them sign a piece of paper, and then giving them some other things inside of the envelope.

Every one of these individuals has a phone. That's another fascinating thing. How can they have phones? So when you see the system happening, it's pretty shocking. I recently heard Venezuela is emptying its prisons and setting all their individuals from Venezuela that were in prison into the United States, another travesty amongst the American people.

But I wanna talk about Mexico. I had been a Mexican citizen. I just found out that my grandmother came from Mexico. And she went through this same border that I've been taking this bus on to come to the United States when she was 17 years old, turns out she was a dreamer. We never knew that my grandmother was a dreamer at the time, which was in 1928.

She came. To become a citizen or try to become a citizen. So after many years, she had a whole family. We have a very big family. She had, she was married, and she had a large family. She established herself by working in the fields and as a house cleaner in various cities in silver city, New Mexico, and then in Phoenix, Arizona when I was.

I have to tell you that I know this story very well because I used to go to my mom's and my grandma's house. And then she would take me to work because I was at green goal. I was at green goal. I was a white guy, and so she would take me. So when she cleaned the house, I could play with the doctors and children.

And I would go there, and I would watch her clean, and then I would go play with the other kids, the little white kids, like I was Okay. And so I enjoyed it. I didn't know Spanish very much. My mom didn't know, and my grandmother didn't know very much English, but we could communicate as a grandmother and a FA as a mother and my son.

Now I say all this because this is very important to understand. I believe in immigrants. I believe that if you look at the total number of immigrants and poor people in the world, our 1 million before this last year happened, that we allowed into the country. We allowed 1 million every year.

That will million is now turned to 4 million in one year, one year. And you have to think about how what kind of impact that Hass. I don't think a lot of those individuals are coming from Argentina, Venezuela from other parts of the world. They mysteriously are getting across their continent, into our continent, coming up through Mexico and out.

Let's talk about the real problem, though. The real problem is the coordination between governments in Mexico. And between the United States and the handshake of money being passed to allow that to happen. You can't forget. This is not something that isn't a business. Transportation is always a business.

When Greyhound is giving all these tickets, it is a business. Okay. They're not doing it for free. I know because my chicken prices are rising, so they're not doing it for free. So they're truly all doing this to make. Greyhound is making a ton of money by transporting 4 million people throughout the United States, as well as airlines.

Think about that 4 million tribes; the average ticket maybe it's a hundred dollars. That's four one $400 million. Greyhound is made for the transport of illegal immigrants across the United States. Corporate America. Once again is making a bank. Okay. Now they say that the cartel is shifting across Mexico.

Maybe that's true in some hands; that's not better than tricking drugs, but isn't it fascinating? The two items that are making the cartel money are human trafficking for the United States, as well as selling drugs to the United. They are transporting the little guy to the United States, and the owner transports humans, as well as drugs, probably along the same transport lines.

So when you think about how our government works, we think about how the Mexican government is working, and we can't stop to realize that it is the transportation of these people and products. The drugs are coming from China. The people come from south America and other continents. Through South America, money is being made.

Who's paying this money? You can't forget who is paying this money. That is the American people, the United States, people have been paying for this service sadly for many years. People kept saying that both Republicans and Democrats didn't wanna stop illegal immigration because they got cheap labor. That's not the way it works.

My friends, this has nothing to do with cheap labor. There's everything to do with the laws that allow this to happen. And the lawmakers creating this paradigm to occur, where they're allowing laws to not allow for change too. That's right. As a Mexican, I grew up wondering what was going on. Why can't we solve this problem?

Why does my family, some of them not illegal, not legal? How is it that they cannot be legal? The process has always toyed against them because when it comes down, it goes down to voting, voting, voting. As I said, Mexicans didn't have political power until 19 after the 1970s.

Because they were counted in us census during my investigation luck before I knew where my grandmother came from, which was Mexico on the other side of Sonora, right above Mexico City. I was fascinated that she didn't show up in our census. Until 1940 in New Mexico. So what that means is that many people, many Mexicans, weren't showing up in our census.

And as I found out in history and reading the books, it wasn't until 1930 when they first started counting Chicago's, and then it wasn't again until 1970 when they continued counting Chicanos. So that means for 40 years, they kept it quiet. Which means we could not get political power. That means we didn't have the right representation in neighborhoods to get political power.

We couldn't get housing. We couldn't get fair housing loans. We couldn't get, we couldn't get fair education loans. We always got little money. If anything, because our numbers didn't play. So this is what I'm saying. We have to do to make a change. We have to be smart. We have to go up there, and we have to vote and understand how to be the difference.

Not how to have hope. No, that's a line that Cesar Chavez first used in his 1984 Commonwealth speech in San Diego. And then Obama took it later and stole lucky, still everything else. The reality is that we have to have hope. We have to be the change again. Obama took it, used it, and Caesar Chavez wrote it.

Reality is very simple. Right now, we have a unique time in which Mexicans on Mexican on the United States side can apply for their citizenship and can. That means they can influence solving the corruption that we have in Mexico. That honestly is not as bad as the corruption in the United States.

The United States is pretty bad in Mexico. We still have hope and the ability to make something special happen. We do this by voting and making sure that we push out the politicians who are not suitable for Mexico, who don't care about the. Because see, the good thing about Mexico is those politicians have been in for quite a while.

We know who they are. For example, the mayors of Mexico City. She's been in office for five years before she was in the United States, but she's done nothing to help the youth of Mexico. She built a train station that just was redoing another train station that everybody used anyway, and didn't have a problem so she could give money to the Chinese who built the train.

Once again. Infrastructure that could have been used for education. So we could help the young Mexicans become more educated, make better decisions and elevate their lives. Now we all know Mexicans are hard workers. God knows my whole life. I remember I made a joke once, and I just stood up and I said, I told my mom about being in a gang bang, and I got a scar right here.

Here's the scar right here. You can see the scar. I got to scar from a gang bang. And my mother says to me home, if you wanna get outta these projects, gang banging isn't the way to go. Because if you gang bang, you're gonna end up dead or you're gonna end up owing somebody else for your life.

As a Mexican, you must work three eight-hour daily shifts to get out of these projects. When she said to that meeting, I was blown. Was I doing that? I didn't realize I was doing that. I was living my life de local. I was teaching John to smoke weed. I was enjoying myself. And then I realized that day that she was right.

I can work my whole life and work in the kitchen and graduate from the Chinese kitchen, or I can get an education. I can change myself. I can look at all players and evaluate them, not emotionally subjectively. I can say you are a woman, but you have done nothing to help us Mexicans. So I cannot support you. You have been a man and a politician for 20 years and nothing to help us Mexicans.

So I cannot support it. You are a politician, you've been a politician in the United States for 20 years, and you are Mexican. I don't care if you're Latino at this point. And you're Mexican, and you've done nothing to help the Mexican, and you keep saying, why do I say the Mexican and not the. Because that Mexicans represent 80 to 70% of all Latinos in the United States.

That means we have power, and it's time to take it. It's time to look at both sides of the wall, and it's time to let Mexico be to take away what Fox did and what slim did and what all the other prominent Mexican politicians have money in their pockets. It's time to tell them to step up or step to the side and go back into your condos in your villas in Paris or Hollywood, go to your Epstein's islands, and leave us alone.

Because it's time, the world is in. Flux it's in fast flux, and it's time.

I wanna thank you for joining me. This is yo soy. I hope to talk about more positive things and a better future, but it's time we work. Now, we have a field of lettuce. We have a roll of carrots. We have hundreds of trees. That the apples have to be picked, the grapes put into our basket so we can help the future of all our Mexican young people who are trapped by the lack of ability because corporate America hasn't given it to us because Mexicans, before us have sold us out because Latinos have jumped onto ours.

And taking power from us that we deserved because we had the numbers and worked fairly. If you don't stand up for who you are, then you will be nobody. Cuz those who stand up for you will lead you down a path that takes you off the hill's edge to yours. Because they don't care about your future.

You have to care. We have to, as an older generation, help the young understand how to have a vision and how to work for it. And that isn't how to pluck the grapes. Sure. We can do that. That isn't about how to build houses. Sure. We can do that, but we also teach them to examine political power.

Corruption and teach them how we do not be that. And we don't allow them to be our future Risa. This is your soy major Domo list.com. You can find our podcast information as well as any objects or hats that you wanna buy to support us and donate to us because we are here to try to make something. For Mexicans on both sides of the wall.

Hi. I want to welcome everybody to this episode of my Yo Soy podcast. You can find us everywhere on all podcasts and all platforms, and we want to ensure that if you go to our links, you can see where you can donate to our movement. I guess I was recently just. Hold on, let me turn off that thing. Sorry. I had some things.

It shouldn't be loaded in the background. Let me get rid of those.

I’m I I was recently just asked, what am I trying to do with my movement here at yo soy? I call it a movement only because I'm very concerned about Mexico's future and what's happening in the United. So if I had to pick a movement, the movement would be to bring back the strength of the Mexican voter, both in the United States and Mexico; Mexico has an inquisitive voting system.

Several years back, five presidents ago, it was stolen just like it was here in the United States. At five o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, the president mysteriously got voted in through illegal votes that everybody in the country had come to the knowledge that it was unlawful.

So in this vein, I am concerned about computers and computers, interjection and the voting system, and the magical way these computers create bad votes or votes through fuzzy logic. So with that being said, I talk about it in many other videos I've done talking about how this happens, and we're not going to talk about it today.

What we're going to talk about today is how we can make Mexicans on both sides of the United States, meaning north of the United States and south of the United States, and inside the United States be part of the voting process and make sure we get represented. As I said before, in 1970 wasn't until 1970 that Richard Nixon gave us the ability to vote as a Mexican body.

Unfortunately, in 1980, that was further decorated by the use of calling us Latinos. Now it's furthered by calling less Latin X. So here we have a constant breakdown where Latinos aren't being equally represented. In the government, because they're being split off amongst groups that, again, get divided even further in this case, Mexicans, which I believe are 90% of the total Latino voter population, are not getting equal representation.

Today. We have this big, phenomenal event. With illegal information going across the border, a wall and low wall, people were sent into Martha's vineyards. People were sent to Democrat states. I have a friend who's a liberal, and he says to me, you're ridiculous, Mike. And I said, wait a second. First, Florida is not a state that receives illegal aliens, except Cuba.

These guys came from Venezuela, not through the waters, but they were sent there. So I had to explain that I go to McAllen, Texas, a lot to go up to Dallas, where I do work, do some work, and have a project. So I saw that I could get into McAllen, Texas, at seven o'clock in the morning. Still, I could not even get a bus into Dallas until two o'clock, one o'clock in the morning, because of the float of migrants coming from the Catholic church services across the now I'm a humanitarian. I believe in the strength of humanitarianism, helping poor people and giving them new opportunities. Hey, that's what I do here in Mexico in Mexico City. But the reality is this. I also believe in the rule of law. So I don't find that situation very comfortable.

I’m I find it very uncomfortable. People talk about, oh, the reason why immigration hasn't happened over the last four or five us. President is because they want cheap labor. No, I do not believe that's why it hasn't happened. I think it hasn't happened because the laws have not given us the power to make a change.

What does that mean? That means the voting laws. It wasn't until 1970. As I said, Mexicans were people living in Mexico when it became the United States before the states.

I forget what they're called right now. Okay. They didn't quite state yet. New Mexico is a classic example. So what I'm getting at is that there were territories. So these states only became states in 1914, in 1911. I believe it is the two states, new Arizona and New Mexico, where my family came from.

So what that means is Mexicans were always in the United. Like I said before, when 19 seven in 1930, when there was an immigration survey done called the census, they stopped counting Mexicans and started calling us something else. At the time, they called us Chicanos; then, they started calling us nothing.

Okay. Because they didn't count us. It wasn't until 1970. Will that create an imbalance? A power for people living in those areas, meaning California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Colorado, all those states were hugely Mexican by birth. They have been there since 18 hundred. So we have to remember how we got here and why we don't have the power to make a change.

It's through voting because voting determines the balance of power right now. We have an exciting time where Mexico has a leader for only two more years, only two more years because many liberals are trying to come in and take his place as globalists. We can't let that happen. What we have to do is we have to work hard and get the Mexicans in the United States to vote for Mexicans that are genuinely caring about the Mexican people.

The reason why they left in the first. The reason why a lot of Mexicans left is not to leave their people. They look for the greater opportunity because of the presidents in the past and where they said corrupt. Now corrupt is a big word because obviously, the United States is very corrupt right now.

So I'm not going to say that either one's better or the other. I'm going to say they're equal. The United States is more corrupt because they're lying about it. At least in Mexico, I was told once a friend said his family's part of the PRI party. He says you know how this works. I said, how does this work? How this works is once we get into power, and become senators and representatives in the government, then all of our family succeeds.

I said, what? Yes. Then we can hire each other and get money and make some money. And then next time it happens. When we get out of office, then boom, we get kicked out, and we hope we had enough money to survive and we have enough land or enough businesses, or we did well enough to go to the United.

Once again, that is the imbalance of power done to create power by the rich; that way, they propagate your poorness. The same reason I kept saying to myself, why is our current mayor building a train of all things? We need water in Mexico City. We need better transportation in the city. People from place to.

We need better infrastructure. So that new up-and-coming young people like my assistant, who's only 23 years old. Like he can move into a nice apartment and feel the power of upward mobility, but that's not what the government wants, but that's the same thing that happened in the United States.

So let's take a lesson from a bad. Okay, because when you start building infrastructure so much that you start using all the tax dollars and you take part of that tax dollars, and you're giving it to your family, friends to do infrastructure, to do projects, then you know what happens? 30% of it goes to the actual project expenses increase.

So what happens is the government is perpetuating its ability not to help the poor. I describe rather quickly, broadly. What's going on? So let's talk about how we can become part of the great movement that I see happening in Mexico. I don't care about the United States right now. The United States has its problems.

They have a leader, and there's a leader who's willing to help them. And it worked before. And maybe he'll come back in power, who knows, but the problem is the base is messed up in the United States from the judicial system, all the way to the presidential and how they get there and who gets.

We don't need that. In fact, to move even better. Let me take away this phone call to make that even better. The way we could move forward is by participating in what's being allowed us to do today. Sadly, the reason why the shine bombs in Mexico city don't want to have the education of the young increased is that then they will do what they tell them.

It wasn't that they didn't have the change because it's a busy restaurant. It's because they didn't know how to count the change. They didn't know how to use a calculator. It wasn't to like start talking to people, and they didn't know how to use the register to get change. Did I start realizing they didn't know how to give change?

Just from the hand, when I saw that, I said, wow, that's what they're doing with this vote. They don't want Mexicans to become more educated. They don't want the youth that is selling on the streets. I love those youth who are selling on the streets because it's exciting to see them do things with their hands and be active instead of worrying about crimes.

Instead of joining the drug cartel, instead of doing all the easy things, they're working hard for the day's work, then I start to realize. Ah, these elite class in Mexico they're doing this on purpose. They don't wanna improve their education. They don't want to raise the people in Mexico because if they do, they stand a chance to expose their lack of education.

Their lack of being able to make things right, their lack of caring for the future of Mexico and the young. Then I realize, ah, that's part of the game. Now that I understand it. What am I gonna do? What I'm gonna do as an educator is I'm gonna educate. I'm gonna help people understand how, if they want to participate, they can participate.

And this is my secret evil plan that I'm sharing with you that we all can do today. We don't have to wait till tomorrow. If you're a Mexican citizen, if you are a Mexican who lives in the United States and maybe went there illegally or got there illegally, or got your papers. If your father and mother were growing up in Mexico, if your grandmother, now I hear, was born in Mexico, you can vote and don't have to go back to Mexico.

You don't have to go back to Mexico. No, quite the opposite. Let me give you a classic example. When I got my Mexican citizenship, I did it in Los Angeles. The embassy gave me my citizenship. And then they said, do you want to vote? I said, sure. I want to vote. So they said, here's your card, what's your address?

We'll send this information to your current address; you can only vote from that area. I said, what? I can vote in Mexico in the United States. Heck yeah, I'm gonna do that. So what I did was I got it. I got my vote. My and I used it everywhere. I go as my ID and my ability to vote now. When I went to Mexico City, that was in an instant where my family was from.

So I had to switch my voter preference so I could vote, but more exciting than all of this. By doing this, we can now vote, even in the United States, if you're a Mexican citizen as a United States citizen. So now we can participate in improving the things that drove people away from Mexico into the United States and create opportunities for the Mexicans that are here, who are fighting to get to the next level.

Just like my young assistant. He's 23 years old. He's trapped. He's got an education. He doesn't have enough. He has so many things for him, but he's trapped. What should I do, Mike? Should I go to the United States? Should I go to another country outside of Mexico? What should I do? And I say, trust me, give me three years.

I want you to work hard. Listen to what I'm saying. Listen to my words. Look at how you can change your life and start acting on them. So we are the first step. We created a small business. I financed him so he could start building this business. That's him, it's not mine. It's him so we can learn and gain revenue, and he can start moving to his next one.

And his next one, and I said, I'm going to do this one first, the next one, we're gonna participate the next one's after that, let's see how it goes. And I'm gonna reach out to Mexicans in the United States. I'm gonna reach out to groups who wanna participate in making Mexico. Amazing because Mexico has. A lot of countries don't have it has hard workers and God-loving people.

It has resources that it hasn't been sold off to the highest dollar from another country. And right now, it has a president who cares for Mexico. Is he perfect? Heck no. How did you expect somebody to live through and run? As much as he could do to get to the presidency, he had to live with the corruption of all the presidents before.

Push it aside because he was maybe a little bit, not dog enough, not fight enough. That makes sense. Is he perfect? Heck no. Does he care? Yes, sir. And that's what matters. He cares about the Mexicans of Mexico. All of. He's not using Mexico as a launching pad. Go live in Spain to go live in Ireland, a beautiful home in Hollywood.

Now his son was in Texas, but that's a different story. So what I'm trying to say to you is that we have a great opportunity, and the way we do that is Votar. And we do that on both sides in the United States and Mexico. Of course, I'm gonna ask you to please participate and donate to my movement so I can make it a movement, make it a cause we have the little merch we're trying to sell, so the people can use that money to do more things.

We can travel more. We can see more of Mexico and relate to you about how we can make this fantastic. So that's my promise to you. I grew up in the United States in a poor Mexican family. We lived in the projects. We had to work for everything we had. My opportunities were not based in the United States. That killed me because I didn't have enough money to go further.

And to go further, I had to sell out certain things I wasn't willing to do. Yes. Hollywood asked me to sell out. Yes. They promised to open 20 stores for me if I participated in their actions. And I said, no, by no means, would I participate in such Tom Foolery, such consultations to people and to be an educator and to love family.

So I said, no, that's an important thing.

Thank you. Please donate to our cause. You can find that in my Snapchat, not Snapchat; I would just in my TikTok also go to our website. We called majorDomolist.com. You'll find all our information, and that's my podcast for today. I wanna thank you very much, and I'll see you in the next couple of days, and hopefully, Rodrigo will sit next to me, because he's always so busy with that new job I gave him.

Okay. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.

Hi. I want to welcome everybody to this episode of my Yo Soy podcast. You can find us everywhere on all podcasts and all platforms, and we want to ensure that if you go to our links, you can see where you can donate to our movement. I guess I was recently just. Hold on, let me turn off that thing. Sorry. I had some things.

It shouldn't be loaded in the background. Let me get rid of those.

I’m I I was recently just asked, what am I trying to do with my movement here at yo soy? I call it a movement only because I'm very concerned about Mexico's future and what's happening in the United. So if I had to pick a movement, the movement would be to bring back the strength of the Mexican voter, both in the United States and Mexico; Mexico has an inquisitive voting system.

Several years back, five presidents ago, it was stolen just like it was here in the United States. At five o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, the president mysteriously got voted in through illegal votes that everybody in the country had come to the knowledge that it was unlawful.

So in this vein, I am concerned about computers and computers, interjection and the voting system, and the magical way these computers create bad votes or votes through fuzzy logic. So with that being said, I talk about it in many other videos I've done talking about how this happens, and we're not going to talk about it today.

What we're going to talk about today is how we can make Mexicans on both sides of the United States, meaning north of the United States and south of the United States, and inside the United States be part of the voting process and make sure we get represented.

This guy is a #globalist trying to position Mexico as a horse trader ( Trojan horse ) for #china.

He is advocating the deterioration of #Mexico potential for its youth for short term poltiical profits. This was exactly what #fox did during #nafta. #Mexico and its leaders cannot be horse whipped by #China and the #US it has to have the vision of the #quetzalcoatl it must both fly like its self and be as wise as the dubious serpeant. 

Distribution is important but always subserviant to manufacturing and every wise business man knows this @armandogonzalezm2 stop selling #mexico out. #whitexican #Mexico #us

#Mexico to #Us and her Independence #yosoy statement on a vision for #mexico #mexicocity

I believe that the world is in huge flux, not even
from my financial viewpoint but also from a military viewpoint. The war in Ukraine
is just an example of the Globalists and the United Nations going too far. I
live in Mexico City. And I'm watching the globalist as our mayor continue the
practices of the globalist mindset.

She worked for the United Nations, and she's
continuing that drive, cuz that what put her into power. She comes from married
to a man who was in corruption with the government before this current
administration. So, Mexico has a clear decision of what to do in its future. To
follow its path, as AMLO has set.

Or continue to believe and move away from globalist
independence. There are many people in the past in Mexico who fought for
independence from the French, it's an important juncture that Mexico can stay
away from that kind of mindset that got them involved with the French, to begin
with. As much as I love history, I feel it's important not to repeat it.

In this case, we are hitting toward independence
celebration on this. 16th of September. I hope to be there outside celebrating
and hoping to hear about the future of Mexico. And that is not following the
path of the globalist agenda. I hope to hear that it's reaching out to Mexicans
on both sides of the border and the wall to bring unity to the Mexican people
that have been severed for well over 40 years in the United States for
political power and not to give Mexicans power.

We have a time when Mexico could truly rise and be a
nation that the world understands is self-supportive and strong within its
people and has great pride as it does. Mexico is an exciting time of future
opportunity for the youth, for the millennials who are being lost in the United
States can prosper in Mexico by finding development and being part of the new
generation. I believe that the 16th of September is important not only for
setting the future but to understand the past and how to make sure we do not
pick people in power who are failures and will be failures in the future.

nation that the world understands is self-supportive and strong within its
people and has great pride as it does. Mexico is an exciting time of future
opportunity for the youth, for the millennials who are being lost in the United
States can prosper in Mexico by finding development and being part of the new
generation. I believe that the 16th of September is important not only for
setting the future but to understand the past and how to make sure we do not
pick people in power who are failures and will be failures in the future.

So here we are another episode of yo soy. I have Rodrigo Morales sitting with me. He's actually my co-host today on all days. And he is my assistant actually Rodrigo. And I go way back. We actually, met him when he was 14. We made a movie together. Yeah, called a, he told me he wanted to be a movie star.

So I. Hey, you wanna join us? We're making a movie. Yeah. Yeah. At that time, I used to want to be, an actor. Also, I broke some big girl, ah, at times. So I wanna be in a movie and seek her and make some kind of jealousy. Oh, you wanted to make you jealous, huh? Yes. We didn't know that one. That's good.

You know what, that's one way of doing it another way is, to make sure that you, just do good, good work. You were a Netflix movie too. Yeah. Yeah. I was in a movie in 2020. I made a movie with, a Mexican director, the movie it's asphalt goddess. Asalto goddess. Yes. Asphalt goddess.

How do you say it in Spanish asphalt? So that was a fun experience. And you were a bad guy in that movie, right? Yeah. It was a bad guy and yeah, it was a great experience. It was my first experience on stage and from the camera and also with, very good actors. Yeah. Post me.

I wasn't a good actor. No, you gotta watch your words. I understand English too. It was, you were a great actor. These guys made a lot of teachers before. Yeah. Before appearing in that movies and just teasing. Huh? So now in Mexico city, and I've been doing this podcast, Yo Soy, and, the name actually came up with Yo Soy.

I remember we made it, we made some hats. We've made some merch because that's what you do in the world. So you can go to our major, do major Domo list.com website, and you can find our merch as well as you can find your products in the, I just forget the name. What's it called Sobe Mercado.

S U B E Mercado you'll see it on our landing page. And you can buy stuff that we found here unique in Mexico. Yeah. Inventory will be changing all the time, but today we wanna talk about an interesting subject yesterday. I RGO was busy cuz he's working on a project in, in, in his city where he grew up called Roma, Norte.

See? Yeah. Yeah. Roman Norte and he's working on an apartment so he can in fact. Rent it out if he wants yeah. Or live in it in a nice place. And one of the things that happened, and I thought it'd be a great story to talk about today because we're talking about reform in Mexico, things in Mexico from an American perspective and a Mexican it's on both and from a Mexican perspective because he's Mexican okay.

He grew up in Roma and, he has a little history here actually his whole life. And we thought it'd be a great idea to talk about what's going on in one subject matter. I talked about what we're not gonna talk about today was gentrification. Yeah, he and I have had a lot of conversations on gentrification, but today I decided I wanted to talk about something different.

I wanted to talk about what's happening with the president, president Andres. Manuel said. And Manuel Lopez. Oh yeah. AMLO I just say as I can't say it all. And more importantly, we're talking about. Azure reform. And right now there's a big fight between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, because Mexico, when they created the north is called NAFTA at first, and now it's called some other agreement.

I don't know what it's called USMC was negotiated with the last president of the United States. But the first one starts way back from Clinton. I have a huge history with Clinton, not myself, but from politics. My brother worked with political sides. Anyway, long story short, I won't go into that, but I wanted to talk about the electrical reform last year.

It was it this year, it went for a vote. Yes. And it failed. Yeah. It failed. It failed. Didn't have enough, ammunition behind it. I believe that I understand why it failed. I think it failed on purpose. But we're not gonna go into that. We're gonna go into a. And I, when I was talking to RGO today, he was giving me telling me a story.

He called me in a panic because something happened in his apartment and he didn't know what to do. Next. What happened was his electricity, his gas was turned off. His gas was turned off. That's right. And as he started revealing the story to me, I became fascinated by the story. And when he came back to my place to our studio here, he started telling me more of the story.

And then I said, we need to do a podcast because I want to talk about it. The electrical reform. Yesterday I did a small video talking about the electrical reform and how, people are starting to say, wait for a second, electricity, gas, power, anything that touches the people is a critical element of life in that country.

Yeah. So it's a national security concern. It's a true natural security concern. And if a government doesn't protect that from the people. Then other countries can control those people. Okay. For example, what people don't know is Walmart it's a huge conglomeration in the United States. It's bought land all over the country.

And the reason why he's bought is bought this land, not to build new stores is because underneath that land is natural water. Yeah. So he's selling the resource. Under the Wells. Some states like California are getting wise to that. So under charging anybody, if you have land and you happen to have natural water underneath you, they're starting to charge you for your own water.

So now you see the government controlling private enterprise in the United States. We thought it always was precious. Yes. Now in Mexico, that's not the same. The government owns all the buildings when it boils down. You live in a building that's, probably a hundred years old. Okay.

It's older. And when the gas was turned off, I want you to tell me in your own words what happened when the guy knocked on the door, and you couldn't turn on the gas, tell me what happened. The guy arrives, and he goes, to my roof and sees all the full installation. She came back to my apartment, and he tells me, your installation is good, but, unfortunately, we, we can't turn on your gas.

And I said, why? And they say you because you have your boiler inside your bathroom. And that's why that's was like, I, I. That boiler has been there like, ten years ago. What's the trouble? So they made me a contract and made a new agreement with them to turn on my gas. And also they made me move my boil.

From another place and they gonna charge me every month, a price for that work. So let me get this straight a month ago, you had gas in your apartment. There was no problem. Yeah. You're paying your month every time you can afford it. Yeah. And then, all of a sudden, it got disconnected for various reasons.

And now you have to. For a gas company. That's now a private gas company, right? Yeah. It's not the Mexican government. No. It's private. It's a private company, a Spain company from Spain. It's a company from Spain charging him to turn his gas back on when it was working perfectly a month ago.

Yeah. So let me explain why we're having this discussion; let's first go back to who owns the infrastructure. The building is owned by Mexico They lease it to you guys, or however it happens, they lease; you bought a long-term lease from it, correct? Yeah. Your mother did what your family did. And you've been living there since you were a little kid and a baby, right?

Yeah. Now, construction work was done on it. You guys fixed it, somebody fixed it. So you're using it. Then all of a sudden, the electricity, and the gaskets turned off, and now you have to pay more to get it redesigned. So that meets the requirements of this private company that now you have to pay gas to yeah.

This is my problem. This private company was this deal with Binette from 2012 to 2018, he struck a deal with these private companies that privatized certain industries. And ha this is what AMLO is fighting against. He doesn't want the privatization of these utilities that are basic structures for all of Mexican.

Yeah. Okay. Everybody needs gas so they can have hot water in their apartment. Yeah. Everybody needs electricity. So they have electricity in the apartment. Everybody needs these certain infrastructure things that you're paying taxes for. Correct? Yeah. The government, you are paying taxes for something.

Okay. So clearly, what pian Netto did was pretty smart for the government is now the government isn't paying for anything, even though you're paying taxes to them. Because what's happening is they have the politicians in Mexico, just like they do in the United States, have set policy by working with private companies, to privatize certain commodities and necessities you need to survive as a Mexican.

And now when you have to do an upgrade, not because you have to, but because the government's forcing you, I know when he first called me and said, because of the government. And I started laughing. I'm like, yeah, that's the government rules, but those rules were initiated because who's making money?

Then when he told me, the gas company came back and said, oh, gotta, what's a deal for you? $59.99 a month, fast sauce. You can pay for this upgrade. We're gonna give you what you don't need, but because the government mandated it and we as the good guys are gonna help you. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel?

Do you feel like he's a good guy? I feel like an assault. An assault. He's insulting your pocket. Yeah. 10 PEs at a time. Okay. And what's the Mexican skin wage, 120 pesos. Okay. And if you're paying 120 PEs a month to fix this thing, when we find out tomorrow, That's gonna be highway robbery, and you will be insulted.

Yeah. Insulted and assaulted. Double assaulted. See, that's what I'm talking about. I'm gonna get on a subject matter that people don't like a lot, but I criticize this mayor from Mexico city a lot. Like you don't agree necessarily, or I do agree. The issue is this.

She's building this train that goes through Mexico, and I call it the train through nowhere that money, those billions of. That can use to build that train in nine months. So she has something good to show us that she can try to run for president. Okay. And she's done something for Mexico, and react shows that she's done nothing for Mexico because those billions of dollars could have easily paid for this guy's gas improvements.

Okay. But instead, they advised away the government to stick it to the Mexican, the poor Mexican, because they let. PTO with the monies in his pocket. He's in Spain now, right? Yeah. He's in Spain with 500 million vessels. I heard. Okay. Five, Hey PTO, send him some money. He needs some money. Okay.

Yeah. To pay his gas bills, please, he's even asking nicely. So here we have a solution that the government gave the Mexicans that isn't a solution. It's only a solution for the. So now every vessel that he pays for taxes is okay. Is not going to help him in his crisis of getting hot water to take a shower.

It's not helping him in his crisis to have water. He can drink from the tap. It's not helping him to build out this infrastructure side of the building that the government ultimately owns. To improve the building. And everybody living in this area, especially in Roma. Roma is a highly gentrified area.

And I don't wanna talk about that. Unless this podcast will get forever, but it's highly gentrified. I do remember, though, I didn't wanna talk briefly about it. Okay. When I first met Rodrigo in, I met him at that fountain. What was the fountain called? Place three. Okay. It's a beautiful fountain.

I recently learned that the fountain was the only three ever made and that France sent it to Mexico as a peace. Okay. A friendship in culture. It's a statue of David. Okay. When I met him there, soon after that, I met his parents, and we went out to eat in the Roman area. We had some tacos, tacos, of course, because we were Mexican.

We always eat tacos anyway. So he had some tacos and six or seven years later when I came back to Roma, I couldn't identify. I was like, where's that taco stand we ate at? It's just so different and costly. I remember that night that only cost me like a couple of hundred vessels. Okay. And that we all ate your brother, your little brother, your father, everybody.

That was the rich man and 200 vessels. Okay. Yeah. Now the same, no cost me 800 vessels easily. Okay. So what I'm saying is here in Mexico city, there's a lot of change. There's a transformation in where the government is acting more like American go. The politicians are thinking more like political politicians were, where they find and devise ways to stick it to the Mexican.

Yeah. Okay. Where they're actually in this particular case, when all Rodrigo wanted to do was to turn on his electric, his gas. So he could actually maybe rent the place or do something with the place and all of a sudden, even just live in it, he can't; he has to take cold, hot showers in my place. In our studio, but that's part of the deal.

That's okay. But the reality. What's happening is the government is going in transition. Yeah. We have politicians like shine bomb who are globalists, who talk about things like green energy, but then in the same instance when Mexican kids need them to help, they're not there to help, oh yeah, there is that private company there to help, to charge him more money.

Okay. To improve the Mexican infrastructure he has. Out of his pocket plus his taxes, and today he still has no hot water. Yeah. That's what happened. so to the Mexicans right now, to the Mexicans. Yeah. It's a serious issue. Can you think of other issues just like that, that you see happening?

Yeah. You, it's a place called it here in Mexico is, there has an issue in the gas price. Because I think two, two months ago, the gas had the highest prices in history. Oh really? Yeah. It cost us, four months ago, 10, maybe nine passes and goes to the 15, 17.

Oh, wow. Almost the total price. In that area, the government builds a state company. Okay. Call it the gas for poly star. So gas, it's gas for the weld. For the wellness gas for the wellness. Yeah. Gas for the belt. How does that work? And they sell the gas in that, in the whole area. They put away the price companies and take it over.

Take to stop it. Yeah. To stop the price. Gouging price gouging. Yeah. What's once again, one of the fallacies in the United. Is the government not there to help the citizen, although the government's supposed to be there to help the citizen in Mexico? We're seeing a transition where half of the government wants to help the citizen, but the other half likes the money that has in their pocket.

Okay. So you're not so willing to help the citizen. Yeah. And unfortunately, both those people are politicians and there's a lot of conflict. When AMLO brought up the electrical reform it was killed. It was killed by the same politicians trying to run for president when he was gone.

Yeah. So it's ironic that they said, oh, we're gonna leave it till next time. You're gonna leave it till next time because you're not gonna solve the problem. Cause you don't wanna solve the problem because it was available to you to solve. And Rodriguez's example is the example of what I'm talking about.

Here. We have a situation where a young millennial-aged Mexican. Yeah, Mexican educated. Who's trying to improve his life level, himself up from his family before him. And he's stuck. He's stuck having to pay for things. Now that the generation before him didn't have to pay because Pena-Nieto wanted to make some laws and no politician after him has being willing to fix those laws so that the Mexican didn't have to get stuck. Yeah. Paying for infrastructure that they do not even own. See, that's the biggest pre here in the United States. When you improve infrastructure, the theory is that, you're gonna own, it only makes it better for the next time you sell it.

You're not selling anything. My friend, because the government owns it. You may lease it to somebody else for a short period and make a little markup. But that's about. So the reality is these American ideas do not work in Mexico because the basis is not the same. And that's the problem we have.

And Roger goes, examples is just one of many that I see as I'm walking through Mexico city all the time. I don't wanna make this podcast too long, but I wanted to introduce you to Rodrigo. And I talked to him very much, and he's my sidekick in Mexico. And he speaks fluent Spanish. When I fluent taco.

Okay. And I cook though, and he's happy you. And the reality is this is the podcast about electrical reform. We didn't talk about it explicitly, but we talked about it in the real world of how it's impacting Mexicans and future podcasts RGO will be here, and we'll talk about more subject matters and, more importantly, to support us.

We do majorDomolist.com and make sure to go to our website, and look at the stuff that we're doing. Look at our podcast. And more importantly, join us the next time we have a podcast. Yeah. Thank you very much, guys. See ya. Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Okay. So you're not so willing to help the citizen. Yeah. And unfortunately, both those people are politicians and there's a lot of conflict. When AMLO brought up the electrical reform it was killed. It was killed by the same politicians trying to run for president when he was gone.

Yeah. So it's ironic that they said, oh, we're gonna leave it till next time. You're gonna leave it till next time because you're not gonna solve the problem. Cause you don't wanna solve the problem because it was available to you to solve. And Rodriguez's example is the example of what I'm talking about.

Here. We have a situation where a young millennial-aged Mexican. Yeah, Mexican educated. Who's trying to improve his life level, himself up from his family before him. And he's stuck. He's stuck having to pay for things. Now that the generation before him didn't have to pay because Pena-Nieto wanted to make some laws and no politician after him has being willing to fix those laws so that the Mexican didn't have to get stuck. Yeah. Paying for infrastructure that they do not even own. See, that's the biggest pre here in the United States. When you improve infrastructure, the theory is that, you're gonna own, it only makes it better for the next time you sell it.

You're not selling anything. My friend, because the government owns it. You may lease it to somebody else for a short period and make a little markup. But that's about. So the reality is these American ideas do not work in Mexico because the basis is not the same. And that's the problem we have.

And Roger goes, examples is just one of many that I see as I'm walking through Mexico city all the time. I don't wanna make this podcast too long, but I wanted to introduce you to Rodrigo. And I talked to him very much, and he's my sidekick in Mexico. And he speaks fluent Spanish. When I fluent taco.

Okay. And I cook though, and he's happy you. And the reality is this is the podcast about electrical reform. We didn't talk about it explicitly, but we talked about it in the real world of how it's impacting Mexicans and future podcasts RGO will be here, and we'll talk about more subject matters and, more importantly, to support us.

We do majorDomolist.com and make sure to go to our website, and look at the stuff that we're doing. Look at our podcast. And more importantly, join us the next time we have a podcast. Yeah. Thank you very much, guys. See ya. Okay. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Hi, I'd like to welcome you to another episode of Yo Soy. We can be found at majordomolist.com make sure to join us and buy our products so that we can prosper and have more money to share our thoughts and ideas and do more productions. We are based out of Mexico City and we do have a guest host who also works with me.

Unfortunately, he's out. And I wanted to discuss a little bit of the subject matter. That's been happening on social media lately called gentrification in Mexico City. The reason I wanna bring this subject up is that I find that, in reality, it's not happening in Mexico City as people are describing it.

I was part of the city council in Portland, Oregon, where we worked on a gentrification project for two and a half years. I was actually a business owner. I owned cafes in Portland, Oregon. And they brought me on the board at the city council to discuss the issues and try to solve the gentrification issue that they felt was happening in the gay area.

In conclusion, what I discovered was happening in Portland was not gentrification. What was happening was business people trying to figure out what to do with their investments and how to move forward, and the perception in the gay community that they had no choices or alternatives to move.

Luckily in that committee, one of the steering committee members became the mayor, the governor, and also during the time. So it was great working with the great team discussing this issue. Now, living in Mexico city, I'm finding the gentrification issues squander up again, and I'm fascinated by it this time, as I'm looking at it from a different.

I'm not looking at it, just from a lens of what I think I'm looking at it from what I saw in the past and how I'm seeing it happening today. What I'm seeing happening today in Mexico city is quite different than what I would call gentrification. What we do is we have a lot of people coming from the United States, different parts of the country coming to, to immigrate, to United, to Mexico.

And whether they're using the nomad laws or they're different other things, it is all the same as far as they're concerned in the Mexican. Mexican people who are living in Mexico they're frustrated, especially the younger generation, 20 to 35-year-olds, because their housing is just out of control. It's out of control because this current mayor Claudia Shinebomb, who is a globalist, who was part of the UN, who went to USC, who came from a very wealthy family, who is married to a person that they say is quiet.

As a politician. And what happens here is we have a dynamic where housing is allowed to have happened in Mexico City. Gentrification is happening because those housing people can't afford it. So think about that for a second. The reason why these new housing developments are happening in Mexico City is to bring money into the economy.

So the logic is if we bring money into the account, into the economy, then it helps all Mexican. . But if that money that's coming into the economy, isn't supporting the local community, meaning that money is coming in from outside sources. Then that is nothing for the Mexican economy, except for the one or two shops.

Because the housing that is coming into Mexico city is not afforded by everybody clearly. And families aren't coming to Mexico City. The city's just investors. People wanted to use it for Airbnb and because they're nice units, et cetera.  for example, let me give you an example. I live in a very nice complex.

It's an urbanized component. It's right near porta. It's in downtown Mexico city in the historical district. And, honestly, nobody can afford it here, among the people that live in Mexico City. But why is this gentrification coming up? Gentrification's coming up because it is a PO issue.

Where politicians are allowing this to happen. So their benefit, for example, they're allowing developers to come in. They're allowing them to build buildings that people in Mexico can't afford, but outsiders can. So that increases the rents for their profit but does nothing for the community in Portland, Oregon there was a lot of programs in which a developer has.

include in their project so much low-income housing. For example, if a unit has 20 units, five of those units have to also include low-income housing. This is a positive direction to take an attitude to take when they're developing projects because that only helps the local community as well as brings much-needed housing in a more infrastructure driven.

Stronger-driven environment. And this is a solution that would help gentrification. Unfortunately, what we're seeing now is the politicians of Mexico City, especially the liberal ones like shine bomb who have globalist ideas. They're trying to, on one hand, stroke the environment that they're creating growth in the city, and on the other hand, make sure that the city's people are not happy so that they feel like the newcomers coming into Mexico.

Will never be adopted or accepted. And that's why right now in social media, a lot of younger Mexicans who are coming of age, are complaining about gentrification. The gentrification began nurtured and has continued through the policies of a failed politician in Claudia  Chinebomb, Claudia of course, came from a UN background. She went to USC. She got her degree in UNAM, and she came from a wealthy family who immigrated here at some point in the future, and things have changed. They have tried to become the first family of their type to move into Mexico and become president as she, as well as trying to become the first president woman.

Once again, it comes back to, it's not in the value of a president woman. I feel. A no, no-brainer to me. It's great to have a great leader. I don't care if it's a woman. I don't care if it's gay. I don't care if it's transgendered. I don't care if it's a woman, a strong leader with good ideas is what we want.

And sexuality means nothing to me as a person. And more importantly, talent is what matters. In this case, we have a mayor who's come here, and I was shocked a year ago and had a woman's March that they spray painted the museum of tolerance with all those woman things that were very derogatory.

And I was shocked because Claudia, as a woman-lived person, allowed this to happen, especially the part of a Jewish historical monument. That's just a co couple of feet away from my a. And to see all the spray paintings on the wall angered me and made me realize that she has no gumption even of her historical past and why her parents or her grandparents moved here, to begin with.

So with that, once again, it made me start doing bigger research, and I started realizing that she is not part of what I would want to miss in this future only because she is of the past and the bad past.  so I wanna talk about gentrification. The reason why I wanted to talk about gentrification is to understand what's happening in Mexico City today, the benefits of Americans or Europeans, or whoever's coming to bring their ideas, their thoughts, their culture into Mexico city, as well as Cher and love the culture of Mexico City.

As it, it has over 500 years of history is phenomenal.  of course, I like the not urban areas that I even the building I live in is too modern for me. And I'm searching and searching, trying to find housing so I can move into a more traditional type of housing location. But I realize that the issue here is not that the government, which controls most housing in Mexico or all of Mexico for that matter, is contriving for the highest bidder.

Commercial kind of people in the United States or otherwise, so they can make money in their pocket and not build the infrastructure of Mexico itself. Let me give you an example. That example is right now, the mayor has built a line, one of the trains I take off often, and that train has now been pushed back.

So that way in the nine months project, they put a brand new train to go inside. It comes from China that project benefits, China, that project benefits. The construction company, that's both European and us based that project benefits everybody. But Mexicans, the reality is this. There is not one Mexican of wealth that will drive that train to work every day.

Not one. I doubt it ever because they didn't take the train before, and now that they have a nice brainy shine, shine bomb, the red train does mean that now people are gonna start taking it from that. It'll be the workers that use that train and rely on that train to go to work every day, maybe to commute, take their families to port and park, or go to the historical district to share in the

None of that will change because if it's an old or new train, the train wasn't a problem. There was a train for a problem. Several years back, the construction was faulty, a fast track that caused all these. What I'm seeing is ch bomb is creating the same disaster that she was in charge of before. People say she wasn't there when it began. It doesn't matter. She's the mayor, she's in charge of it now. And now she's starting a new project. That's fast-tracked to do a seven-month project to bring a new train into Mexico city that's of the Chinese brand. There's nothing from Mexico City.

Meaning it does nothing to help the poor people. It does nothing to help the infrastructure where that money could have been used on education. That money can have been used to improve the water capacity in Mexico, as well as the usage of safe water to drink daily. None of these things were done, but it could have been done because that shows you their idea, that if we put a shiny package on a present.

That it's still not a good present, but it appears to be. And that is the main way these politicians think let's put something shiny and give the people cold, and they'll be happy. I do believe that certain debates that we're having with social media today. Gentrification in Mexico City is truly a way to divide the young people not to accept the growth happening in Mexico City.

That can be positive if done correctly, but instead, because it's being done incorrectly, the politicians are just throwing confusion everywhere. So that way, they can try to win an argument because they're the people of power, and they manipulate the votes as it is. So I want to talk about gentrification.

And I'm saying that Mexico city does not have a gentrification problem. It is having an identity pro problem because the reality is the young generation is aware because of social media and the digital world we live in today. And that they're being confused on the purpose of the, they would make bad decisions about looking at what the problem is.

And the problem is the corruption in the shine bombs and those kinds of politicians selling. Bill of goods isn't for the people. It's for their wealth, their pockets, and to try to gain power, which they don't deserve. They deserve it if they can fix everybody to do bad things, huh?

Here is my positive take on this Sunday morning's take on thoughts of the world and what is happening today as of yet.

Hi everybody. It's Sunday, May 15, and today I decided to do something a little bit different, even though every day we do our Spanish, we're gonna talk about motivation And how to succeed, and the principles that I have followed for the last 40 years of my life and has carried me through the darkest times and the richest times of my life. I've often told people that you have to pretend that you're floating down a turbulent river where the banks oftentimes are far apart and you're on your tom sawyer raft with no hutch next to you or huck next to you and you're on your own. You float down the river and you deal with turbulent daytimes every step of the way, every inch, every hour, every minute. And then lo and behold, you look down the road and you see somebody swimming. So you put them up on the raft and lo and behold its huck, You get on the river raft, you float down the river and you two have a great time and then all of a sudden you see an obstacle in the road. So you both challenge it together and you test the path of friendship as you move down that path, you go to a different stumbling block, and then before you know it, you see more people cheering you on because they see you going on that turbulent rap and they want to help you. So you move along, you have new people who help you, they throw you sacks of lunches that give you an opportunity and you take that opportunity without taking advantage of it or being opportunistic about the next opportunity. You enjoy it. And the people who give you also enjoy the satisfaction of helping you. You take that and you go down the road and before you know it, you come to a narrow edge and you both decide this is a stopping point. So you stop your float, you get off your raft and you enjoy the timing people that you have whiter there. But something in your heart is telling you there's a bigger path down the road. So you talk to your partner and you say, hey dude, I'm gonna move on. It's time for me to go. So you jump on the bar and he says farewell, and he decides to stay. The people all cry and you leave, you float down. The river becomes turbulent again. You find yourself in the same spot you were before and you start asking yourself, what am I doing, Why did I decide to move on when I had such a comfortable life where I was. So you contemplate sitting alone on your raft, You could have just been well been in a prison cell, you could have been very well in the throngs of a kidnapper who has tied you down and put you in their basement, You could have been in the bunkers of a war that you didn't want to fight, You can be in the middle of a meeting in which you know, everybody is wrong for working selfish reasons and you're sitting there alone saying to yourself, what am I doing? This is the important juncture of the road that we all have to come to and we have to use our instincts to decide what to do next. We have to validate those instincts and decide if your instincts are emotional, are ego-driven? Are they money-driven? Are they family-driven? Are the others driven? And you have to decide all of those things before you make your decision? And because when you put all that input, you may decide because of family reasons, you're not going to go there, but because it's your financial reasons, you can't go there or you're gonna have to decide is because your conviction and what you believe and what you know to be true gives you the opportunity that you feel is out there, so you have to speak up and you tell that group you're wrong, sorry guys, you're absolutely wrong that day will be the day that you become a leader. That doesn't mean every loudmouth person is a leader because often times people will say things out of their breath to show visibility and try to be important. That doesn't make you a leader. Hitler used preposterous statements to maneuver and manipulate doubt in people's minds, but because he controlled the media and the controlled every people around him because he surrounded himself around people who would do what he said because of this. He was able to manipulate and kill at Well now remember his killing was justified. So remember when you have lawmakers making laws, they are justifying their actions or the actions they feel the people around them should subculture into. So they take the goodwill of the people and they modify it for their interest and their interest is always in the hole. But what if that isn't true? What if their perception of the whole is like you sitting in a room with 20 people who are all saying the wrong thing in unison? But you know what they're saying is wrong? How do you know that the three principles that you're living by your instincts, your validation of those instincts and the openness of your mind, of those instincts to challenge yourself and allow others to challenge you are always right. Is there not? As we get new information, we ...

Chasing Ghosts: My visit with the Ghost of Aguacate in Mexico City

Have you ever experienced something that later you realize was exactly what you wanted to happen? But, didn't expect what was happening? This is my story with what appears to have been the Ghost of Aguacate.

A narrow and cobble-stoned alleyway, its width is just shy of 14 feet. It’s also the legendary site of demonic manifestations.

The Barrio of Santa Catarina is a colonial neighborhood that retains some of its best features from the 1600s: the Callejón del Aguacate (Avocado Alley) is among the most noteworthy.

17th-century architecture and a scale that barely admits modern vehicles define the alley as both nostalgic and somewhat macabre. It’s a combination that’s made this alley the setting of many a legend.

The most famous is one of a child and the soldier who resented the overt attention the boy paid to the soldier’s uniform and regalia. It is claimed that the soldier simply struck the boy, unaware of the child’s delicacy. The boy is said to have fallen dead at the blow.

In his combined derangement and penitence, the soldier is said to have hung the corpse from the Avocado tree for which this particular alley got its name. Locals report having heard cries in the night, especially among the creaking branches of which many seem to crowd in upon the alley. Some others promise they’ve seen the passage of a tiny shadow.

A niche at the corner of the alley still bears a figure of the Virgin Mary. The same legend claims the child’s murderer placed it here, to expiate his sin and to beg for pardon.

Open to the public, it’s a public street. As a residential area, some discretion is advised especially when visiting at night, which is generally discouraged. Having never received affirmation of any divine forgiveness, it’s said the soldier may still be seen, desolate, devastated, staking out the alley’s shadows, redemption forever receding yet further into the deepest blue shade running between the stones.

Lesson 6: Practicing The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe in Spanish (Part 3 of 3) (El Curervo) plus A Un olmo seco, de Antonio Machado

But the raven, fixed, motionless, in that grave effigy, said only that word, as if his soul were linked in it, not a feather shook, not an accent could be heard from him... I then said at once: «Others before they have gone, and the dawn at dawn, he too will fly away as my dreams have flown». Said the raven: "Never again!"

Por respuesta tan abrupta como justa sorprendido, «no hay ya duda alguna -dije-, lo que dice es aprendido; aprendido de algún amo desdichoso a quien la suerte persiguiera sin cesar, persiguiera hasta la muerte, hasta el punto de, en su duelo, sus canciones terminar y el clamor de su esperanza con el triste ritornelo de: ¡Jamás, y nunca más!».

By a response as abrupt as just surprised, «there is no longer any doubt -I said-, what he says is learned; learned from some unfortunate master whom fate endlessly pursued, pursued to death, to the point that, in his mourning, his songs ended and the cry of his hope with the sad refrain of: Never, and never again! .

Mas el cuervo provocando mi alma triste a la sonrisa, mi sillón rodé hasta el frente de ave y busto y de cornisa; luego, hundiéndome en la seda, fantasía y fantasía dime entonces a juntar, por saber que pretendía aquel pájaro ominoso de un pasado inmemorial, aquel hosco, torvo, infausto, cuervo lúgubre y odioso al graznar: «¡Nunca jamás!».

But the crow provoking my sad soul to smile, I rolled my chair to the front of bird and bust and cornice; Then, sinking into the silk, fantasy and fantasy tell me then to put together, to know what that ominous bird from an immemorial past wanted, that sullen, grim, unlucky, gloomy and hateful crow when it croaked: «Never again!».

Quedé aquesto investigando frente al cuervo, en honda calma, cuyos ojos encendidos me abrasaban pecho y alma. Esto y más-sobre cojines reclinado-con anhelo me empeñaba en descifrar, sobre el rojo terciopelo do imprimía viva huella luminosa mi fanal, terciopelo cuya púrpura ¡ay! Jamás volverá élla a oprimir, ¡ah, nunca más!

I stayed there investigating in front of the crow, in profound calm, whose fiery eyes burned my chest and soul. This and more-on reclining cushions-with longing I insisted on deciphering, on the red velvet where my lantern printed a vivid luminous imprint, velvet whose purple oh! She will never oppress again, ah, never again!

Parecióme el aire, entonces, por incógnito incensario que un querube columpiase de mi alcoba en el santuario, perfumado. «¡Miserable ser-me dije-Dios te ha oído, y por medio angelical, tregua, tregua y el olvido del recuerdo de Leonora te ha venido hoy a brindar: bebe, bebe ese nepente, y así todo olvida ahora!». Dijo el cuervo: «Nunca más».

The air seemed to me, then, by incognito censer that a cherub would swing from my bedroom in the sanctuary, perfumed. «Wretched being-I told myself-God has heard you, and through angelic means, truce, truce and the oblivion of the memory of Leonora has come to you today to toast: drink, drink that nepente, and thus forget everything now!». Said the raven: "Never again."

¡Oh, Profeta -dije- o duende!, mas profeta al fin, ya seas ave o diablo, ya te envía la tormenta, ya te veas por los ábregos barrido a esta playa, desolado pero intrépido, a este hogar por los males devastado, dime, dime, te lo imploro. ¿Llegaré jamas a hallar algún bálsamo o consuelo para el mal que triste lloro?. Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!».

Oh, Prophet -I said- or goblin!, but a prophet at last, whether you are a bird or a devil, the storm sends you, whether you see yourself swept to this beach by the shelters, desolate but intrepid, to this home devastated by evils Tell me, tell me, I implore you. Will I ever find some balm or consolation for the evil that sadly cries? Said the raven: "Never again!"

«¡Oh, Profeta -dije- o diablo! Por ese ancho, combo velo de zafir que nos cobija, por el sumo Dios del cielo a quien ambos adoramos, dile a esta alma dolorida, presa infausta del pesar, si jamás en otra vida la doncella arrobadora a mi seno he de estrechar, la alma virgen a quien llaman los arcángeles Leonora…». Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!».

O Prophet, I said, or devil! For that wide, combo sapphire veil that shelters us, for the supreme God of heaven whom we both adore, tell this sorrowful soul, unfortunate prey to sorrow, if never in another life will I hold the captivating maiden to my bosom, virgin soul whom the archangels call Leonora…». Said the raven: "Never again!"

«¡Esa voz, oh cuervo, sea la señal de la partida -grité alzándome-, retorna, vuelve a tu hórrida guarida, la plutónica ribera de la noche y de la bruma…! ¡De tu horrenda falsedad en memoria, ni una pluma dejes, negra! ¡El busto deja! ¡Deja en paz mi soledad! ¡Quita el pico de mi pecho! ¡De mi umbral tu forma aleja…!». Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!».

"That voice, oh raven, be the signal for departure," I cried, rising, "return, return to your horrid lair, the plutonic shore of night and mist...! Of your horrendous falsehood in memory, do not leave a pen, black! bust lets! Leave my loneliness alone! Get the beak off my chest! From my threshold your form moves away...!». Said the raven: "Never again!"

¡Y aun el cuervo inmóvil!, fijo, sigue fijo en la escultura, sobre el busto que ornamenta de mi puerta la moldura…. y sus ojos son los ojos de un demonio que, durmiendo, las visiones ve del mal; y la luz sobre él cayendo, sobre el suelo flota…, nunca se alzará…, nunca jamás!

And even the motionless crow! Fixed, remains fixed on the sculpture, on the bust that adorns the molding on my door…. and his eyes are the eyes of a demon who, sleeping, sees visions of evil; and the light on it falling, on the ground it floats..., it will never rise..., never again!

Lesson 4: Practicing The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe in Spanish (Part 1 of 2) (El Curervo)

This is part 2 of 3 of reciting The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe

El cuervo de Edgar Allan Poe

Versión de Juan Antonio Pérez Bonalde...Una fosca media noche, cuando en tristes reflexiones, sobre más de un raro infolio de olvidados cronicones inclinaba soñoliento la cabeza, de repente a mi puerta oí llamar; como si alguien, suavemente, se pusiese con incierta mano tímida a tocar: “¡Es – me dije – una visita que llamando está a mi puerta: eso es todo y nada más!”.

One gloomy midnight, when in sad reflections, over more than a rare folio of forgotten chronicles, I sleepily bowed my head, suddenly I heard a knock at my door; as if someone gently began to knock with an uncertain timid hand: “It is – I said to myself – a visitor who is knocking at my door: that is all and nothing more!”.

¡Ah! Bien claro lo recuerdo: era el crudo mes del hielo, y su espectro cada brasa moribunda enviaba al suelo. Cuan ansioso el nuevo día deseaba, en la lectura procurando en vano hallar tregua a la honda desventura de la muerta Leonora; la radiante, la sin par virgen rara a quien Leonora los querubes llaman, ahora ya sin nombre… ¡nunca más!

oh! I remember it very clearly: it was the harsh month of ice, and its spectrum sent each dying ember to the ground. How anxiously he wished for the new day, in his reading trying in vain to find a respite from the deep misfortune of the dead Leonora; the radiant, the unparalleled rare virgin whom the cherubs call Leonora, now without a name… never again!

Y el crujido triste, incierto, de las rojas colgaduras me aterraba, me llenaba de fantásticas pavuras, de tal modo que el latido de mi pecho palpitante procurando dominar, «¡Es, sin duda, un visitante-repetía con instancia- que a mi alcoba quiere entrar: un tardío visitante a las puertas de mi estancia…, eso es todo, y nada más!».

And the sad, uncertain creaking of the red hangings terrified me, filled me with fantastic terror, in such a way that the throbbing of my throbbing chest trying to control, "It is, without a doubt, a visitor!" bedroom wants to enter: a late visitor at the doors of my room..., that is all, and nothing more!”.

Poco a poco, fuerza y bríos fue mi espíritu cobrando: «Caballero, dije, o dama: mil perdones os demando; mas, el caso es que dormía, y con tanta gentileza me vinísteis a llamar, y con tal delicadeza y tan tímida constancia os pusísteis a tocar, que no oí», dije, y las puertas abrí al punto de mi estancia: ¡sombras sólo y… nada más!

Little by little, my spirit gained strength and energy: «Gentleman, I said, or lady: a thousand pardons I ask of you; but, the fact is that I was sleeping, and with such kindness you came to call me, and with such delicacy and such timid constancy you began to knock, that I did not hear", I said, and the doors opened at the point of my stay: shadows only! and nothing more!

Mudo, trémulo, en la sombra por mirar haciendo empeños, quedé allí-cual antes nadie los soñó-forjando sueños; más profundo era el silencio, y la calma no acusaba ruido alguno…, resonar sólo un nombre se escuchaba que en voz baja a aquella hora yo me puse a murmurar, y que el eco repetía como un soplo: ¡Leonora…! Esto apenas, ¡nada más!

Mute, trembling, in the shadows to look making efforts, I stayed there-as no one dreamed before-forging dreams; deeper was the silence, and the calm did not accuse any noise..., resounding only a name could be heard that in a low voice at that hour I began to murmur, and that the echo repeated like a breath: Leonora...! This just, nothing more!

A mi alcoba retornando con el alma en turbulencia, Pronto oí llamar de nuevo, esta vez con más violencia: «De seguro-dije-es algo que se posa en mi persiana, pues, veamos de encontrar la razón abierta y llana de este caso raro y serio, y el enigma averiguar: ¡Corazón, calma un instante, y aclaremos el misterio…: es el viento, y nada más!».

Returning to my bedroom with my soul in turbulence, Soon I heard calling again, this time with more violence: «For sure-I said-it's something that sits on my blind, well, let's see if we can find the open and plain reason for this case. strange and serious, and the enigma to find out: Sweetheart, calm down for a moment, and let's clarify the mystery...: it's the wind, and nothing else!».

La ventana abrí, y con rítmico aleteo y garbo extraño, Entró un cuervo majestuoso de la sacra edad de antaño. Sin pararse ni un instante ni señales dar de susto, con aspecto señorial, fue a posarse sobre un busto de Minerva que ornamenta de mi puerta el cabezal; sobre el busto que de Pallas representa fue y posóse, y ¡nada más! Trocó entonces el negro pájaro en sonrisas mi tristeza con su grave, torva y seria, decorosa gentileza; y le dije: «Aunque la cresta calva llevas, de seguro no eres cuervo nocturnal, ¡viejo, infausto cuervo oscuro vagabundo en la tiniebla…! Dime, ¿cuál tu nombre, cuál, En el reino plutoniano de la noche y de la niebla…? Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!».

I opened the window, and with rhythmic flapping wings and strange panache, Entered a majestic raven from the sacred age of yore. Without stopping for a moment or showing signs of fright, with a stately appearance, he went to perch on a bust of Minerva that adorns the headboard of my door; on the bust that Pallas represents he went and settled, and nothing more! Then the black bird changed my sadness into smiles with its serious, grim and serious, decorous gentleness; and I told him: «Although you have a bald crest, surely you are not a nocturnal raven, old, infamous dark raven wandering in the darkness…! Tell me, what is your name, what, In the Plutonian realm of night and mist...? Said the raven: "Never again!"

Asombrado quedé oyendo así hablar al avechucho, si bien su árida respuesta no expresaba poco o mucho; pues preciso es convengamos en que nunca hubo criatura que lograse contemplar ave alguna en la moldura de su puerta encaramada, ave o bruto reposar sobre efigie en la cornisa de su puerta cincelada, con tal nombre: «Nunca más».

I was astonished to hear the owl speak in this way, although his arid response did not express little or much; Well, it is necessary that we agree that there was never a creature that managed to contemplate any bird perched on the molding of its door, bird or brute resting on an effigy on the cornice of its chiseled door, with such a name: «Never again».

Mas el cuervo fijo, inmóvil, en la grave efigie aquélla, sólo dijo esa palabra, cual si su alma fuese en ella vinculada, ni una pluma sacudía, ni un acento se le oía pronunciar… Dije entonces al momento: «Ya otros antes se han marchado, y la aurora al despuntar, él también se irá volando cual mis sueños han volado». Dijo el cuervo: «¡Nunca más!».

But the raven, fixed, motionless, in that grave effigy, said only that word, as if his soul were linked in it, not a feather shook, not an accent could be heard from him... I then said at once: «Others before they have gone, and the dawn at dawn, he too will fly away as my dreams have flown». Said the raven: "Never again!"

Por respuesta tan abrupta como justa sorprendido, «no hay ya duda alguna -dije-, lo que dice es aprendido; aprendido de algún amo desdichoso a quien la suerte persiguiera sin cesar, persiguiera hasta la muerte, hasta el punto de, en su duelo, sus canciones terminar y el clamor de su esperanza con el triste ritornelo de: ¡Jamás, y nunca más!».

By a response as abrupt as just surprised, «there is no longer any doubt -I said-, what he says is learned; learned from some unfortunate master whom fate endlessly pursued, pursued to death, to the point that, in his mourning, his songs ended and the cry of his hope with the sad refrain of: Never, and never again! .

Mas el cuervo provocando mi alma triste a la sonrisa, mi sillón rodé hasta el frente de ave y busto y de cornisa; luego, hundiéndome en la seda, fantasía y fantasía dime entonces a juntar, por saber que pretendía aquel pájaro ominoso de un pasado inmemorial, aquel hosco, torvo, infausto, cuervo lúgubre y odioso al graznar: «¡Nunca jamás!».

But the crow provoking my sad soul to smile, I rolled my chair to the front of bird and bust and cornice; Then, sinking into the silk, fantasy and fantasy tell me then to put together, to know what that ominous bird from an immemorial past wanted, that sullen, grim, unlucky, gloomy and hateful crow when it croaked: «Never again!».

Quedé aquesto investigando frente al cuervo, en honda calma, cuyos ojos encendidos me abrasaban pecho y alma. Esto y más-sobre cojines reclinado-con anhelo me empeñaba en descifrar, sobre el rojo terciopelo do imprimía viva huella luminosa mi fanal, terciopelo cuya púrpura ¡ay! Jamás volverá élla a oprimir, ¡ah, nunca más!

I stayed there investigating in front of the crow, in profound calm, whose fiery eyes burned my chest and soul. This and more-on reclining cushions-with longing I insisted on deciphering, on the red velvet where my lantern printed a vivid luminous imprint, velvet whose purple oh! She will never oppress again, ah, never again!

Parecióme el aire, entonces, por incógnito incensario que un querube columpiase de mi alcoba en el santuario, perfumado. «¡Miserable ser-me dije-Dios te ha oído, y por medio angelical, tregua, tregua y el olvido del recuerdo de Leonora te ha venido hoy a brindar: bebe, bebe ese nepente, y así todo olvida ahora!».

My name is Michael. Ortega, IMDB: Michael A. Pina. my actor and producer credentials, and website 3mof.com. I am a dual citizen Mexican and American who moved to Mexico City on April 1, 2021. Since arriving, I have amassed over 3.1 Million views at restaurants and Hotels in Mexico City. Having owned Airbnb units in the United States and boutique cafes and restaurants, I have immersed myself here in Mexico City in my quest to learn the language better for acting and to make more films about Mexican culture.

In my journey here, I have visited some fantastic places and made some fun clips about culture. I have had a bit of succession posting my pictures on Google Maps, and I felt your location would be a significant focus of one of my postings.

I have seen anything from 7,000 to 30k views of my postings within weeks and have seen on my return weeks later the establishments very busy I do this mainly through social media. Specifically, Instagram and Google Maps showcase what I see with my tastes.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona Michael Pina grew up in the Dupa Village Projects by a single mother. Born from a father who migrated from Nogales when he was 2, and a mother whose family came from New Mexico and lived there before New Mexico became a State. Michael like many Mexican Americans of his time, speaks the only language he knows, English. His family, although speaking fluent Spanish, chose to not allow their children to speak the language to assure they could grow up in an America that perjured those who had strong Mexican accents. Michael does comedy in the Los Angeles area and often talks about how, his not being able to speak the language of his family, has as well created a point of prejudice in his life by Mexican immigrants. He often proclaims, "I am a Mexican with White Privilege". Michael and three of his brothers of a family of five, all graduated from Arizona State University, he with an engineering degree, and a degree in Physical Education. Mike also was a gymnast at ASU and helped coach the ASU Gymnastics Team to its only Men's NCAA Championship in 1986.
