Some Mexico news:

President Sheinbaum and her lackeys at the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH - an ostensibly autonomous state institution) are battling with the United Nations over disappearances. The UN says disappearances in Mexico are "generalized and systemic." With no sense of irony, or apparent grasp on reality, the CNDH replied that, "We reject that Mexico is experiencing a crisis of disappearances and more so reject that these are the result of State policy." They then ramble on about foreign meddling making things worse. Apparently 124,000 disappeared since 2006 is something that just happens?

In an incident causing widespread indignation, on Saturday afternoon, a poorly built structure collapsed in strong winds at the international AXE Ceremonia Festival in Mexico City, killing two photojournalists. That was at 5:30pm. The show continued until 2am with no interruption.

The festival was to proceed on Sunday and authorities said they would close the venue after the festival ended. In response to outrage over the deaths and refusals by artists, including mi querido Ed Maverick, to perform as if nothing happened, they finally cancelled the remainder of the event.

"It was not an accident, it was negligence," say the journalists' union.

The Mexican government's battle with reality and the United Nations continued today with the Senate passing a resolution demanding the UN remove Olivier de Frouville from his post as head of the Committee on Enforced Disappearances for daring to propose that disappearances in Mexico occur in a "generalized or systemic manner."

Apparently what forces the State's hand is when some UN functionary says something approximating the truth.

Apparently they can't be bothered with the 124,000 disappeared, the extermination camp discovered in Jalisco last month, or their own vapid promises to take action after the fact.
