Apparently, United States Ambassador Ronald Johnson follows the Negotiation Manual with Mexico (Never give an inch: figthing for the America I love), written by Mike Pompeo where the former Secretary of State shares the recipe for his success in bending Mexican officials.
They accept the decisions of President Trump’s Government regarding Mexico under one condition: not to reveal the truth to Mexican public opinion. In reality, it is about the production of content for the morning. That is, modify the real facts to the “sovereignty” format where “cooperation and non-subordination; the free determination of peoples and non-interference” are part of the morning catechism.
Ambassador Ronald Johnson agreed to spread President Sheinbaum’s “sovereignty” version of the alleged surrender of drug trafficker Rayn Wedding to US authorities in the old embassy facilities.
Johnson, upon accepting, must have ascertained the preparation of the montage. FBI Director Kash Pattel quickly confirmed that Wedding was arrested in an operation in which an anti-kidnapping commando from the group participated, the same one that acted on January 3 at the La Carlota military base in Caracas to lift up Nicolás Maduro.
Canadian journalist Thomas Daigle, from the CBC newspaper, detected that the photograph of Wedding a few meters from the American embassy, and which was part of the morning shoot, was produced by AI.
President Sheinbaum denied this, saying that the image does not reveal that it was produced through AI.
Yesterday, Donald Trump thanked the Mexican president for suspending oil deliveries to Cuba. The timing was perfect. The warning occurred last year and the time limit was December 31. Sheinbaum delivered.
The Pompeo method was activated this week when the Mexican president could not find the best words to deny the Bloomberg report.
He does, but no; the no, but yes, are part of what Octavio Paz wrote in The Labyrinth of Solitude: the double mask of the Mexican.
Neither the National Palace nor the Foreign Ministry have realized that the Trump government’s press releases are becoming less and less similar to the releases of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Some call them “narratives”, in reality they are morning stories (storytelling).
The photograph of yesterday’s call between Presidents Trump and Sheinbaum is the same as the previous 15: the president, smiling, and a distorted and gray secretary, in the background, smiling. The good thing is that no AI was used.
The Pompeo method, applied to Marcelo Ebrard at the beginning of the 4T, would have to win the Oscar for best political performance.
