https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK0it5GZcaM Dr. Oswaldo Zavala discusses his book “The Cartels Don’t Exist” in which he examines the questionable narrative that the Mexican drug cartels are in control of the government. In fact, he points to evidence that it is the U.S. and Mexican security state apparatus managing the drug cartels. He deconstructs how the state’s false narrative of being the victim of the cartels then is reproduced by mass media, ambitious but naive journalists, film (e.g. Netflix’s Narcos, Sicario, Infierno), popular literature, telenovelas and soap operas. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon https://www.patreon.com/empiregeopolitics PayPal https://www.paypal.me/geopolitics Bitcoin http://geopoliticsandempire.com/bitcoin-donate Websites https://twitter.com/Oswaldo__Zavala https://www.gc.cuny.edu/Page-Elements/Academics-Research-Centers-Initiatives/Doctoral-Programs/Latin-American,-Iberian,-and-Latino-Cultures/Profiles/Oswaldo-Zavala https://www.proceso.com.mx/585253/el-fascismo-inimaginable-la-casa-blanca-en-las-series-de-television-en-la-era-de-trump…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1g5uxnJpe8 Andreas Bummel discusses the historical idea of world government and how existential civilizational threats such as climate change, thermonuclear war, and systemic global financial collapse necessitate the creation of a world parliament. We discuss numerous aspects of the movement, the role of regional unions, a global currency, and criticisms which include the threat of the world state becoming a tyrannical global leviathan. He discusses the change in global consciousness needed and the movement to create a UN Parliamentary Assembly. Finally, he describes how a democratized China could become a leader in global governance. *Support/Donate to Geopolitics & Empire: Patreon…
