While much of the world is focused on Brazil’s Oct. 30 presidential elections, we should also pay attention to an alarming political development that could mark the end of democracy in Mexico.

The Mexican government is planning to dismantle the National Electoral Institute (INE), the country’s highly respected independent electoral body.

The INE has played a key role in Mexico’s transition to democracy since the late ’90s, when it became an autonomous government institution. It has since guaranteed free and fair elections in a country that, before 2000, had been ruled by a single party for the previous seven decades.

But now, Mexico’s populist President Andrés Manuel López Obrador wants to dismantle the INE and replace it with a much smaller and weaker electoral body.

3. They are completely graphic in the publication, mind-boggling!

They get information which is completely direct and convincing. Don't know how they manage to side-step becoming targets, themselves. Their subjects are as rough as humanly possible, I'm sure!

I posted a story in the last week about a doggie discovering a severed head they had placed somewhere to scare someone. I just saw they have a short video of this doggie trotting rapidly down the sidewalk in the dark as a couple of people in a car followed him, or her, filming his trip with his discovery, probably on the way to surprise his human!

Graphic short video at this borderland article:

You can be sure it looks real!

Unbelievable.

It's a source unlike any other, by all means!

4. Trump ushered in a world-wide threat to democracy. No question about it. We must fight to keep

ours.

5. These authoritarians have always been out there millennia before him

It's just that such a figure finally bubbled up here and got elected to a leadership position, thanks to the magnification and media-glorified fascist rhetoric and propaganda vomited forth via tech of our own creation.
