Book Review by the American Patrol Report
by Wilson Beck (Author)
October 19, 2009 [Click here for other chapters in this review]
Chapter I – America's Wakeup Call from Mexico
Beck links today's' brutal war of the Mexican cartels to the Aztecs.
"The drug-cartel's intent in 2006 and today is identical to that of the Aztec's as described in Diaz's account of the Aztec counter-attack on the Spanish conquistadors as they lay siege to Tenochtlatlan (current day Mexico City) in 1521."
"The Al-Qaeda with all their online bravado of video beheadings, sharp knives, and ski-masked disguises are not half as brutal as these professionally-trained Zeta mercenaries."
He explains how crime and gangs have followed illegal aliens across the border. He says the disease of organized crime "is unabatedly spreading into the U.S," citing FBI and Dept. of Justice findings that 70 to 80 percent of the nation's total crime is attributable to organized criminal gangs from south of the border. The scary part, he says, is that the federal government is "looking the other way."
Beck asks many questions that need answers, among them:
"Why has Mexico Lindo (Beautiful Mexico) become Mexico Peligrosso (Dangerous Mexico)?"
"Why does the vast majority of the Mexican population refuse to subjugate themselves to the rule of law?"
"Why does one of the poorest countries on planet earth have one of the highest numbers of millionaires per capita?"
and
"Why does the U.S. government refuse to enforce immigration laws?"
Chapter II – The Collapse of the Golden Age of Mexico
Beck makes an important point about the differences between the British settlement of what is now the U.S. and Spain's settlement of Mexico. When Cortes landed in 1519 there were between 10 and 30 million people in Mexico. When pilgrims arrived in 1620 there were fewer than 5 million Indians in what is now the U.S. And, the culture south of the border was well developed based on agriculture, whereas American Indians were hunter-gatherers.
"When the Spaniards first gazed upon the city and floating gardens of Tenochtitlan (Mexico City), they were dumbfounded by what they saw. It was planned and built in a geometric grid with wide avenues, floating vegetable and flower gardens and beautiful pyramids." "the cultures of central Mexico rivaled most European cultures in terms of architecture, engineering, math, and Astronomy, " Beck Reports
To the north, the indigenous population was either dead or on reservations by 1900. To the south the Spaniards began to intermingle with the indigenous people of Mexico. "The vast majorities of modern day Mexicans cling to their indigenous roots rather more than they do their European or Spanish roots," Beck writes.
"The biggest difference between Mexico and the U.S., historically, is that the Spaniards interbred with the indigenous people and the English did not."
Beck describes how he became interested in Mexico and the Mexican culture. He tells of travels in Mexico in the early 70s and the culture shock he got when returning to the U.S.
He goes on to how he asked himself how Mexico got into such a mess, retracing the history of Mexico City and the Toltecs and Aztecs moved in.
"If I could understand what happened to the Teotihuacan culture"
Beck describes the Collision of cultures and how the Toltecs and Aztecs destroyed 1000 years of the "Golden Age of Mexico.
Beck cites recent reports of killings in Mexico. "This type of inhuman behavior became the norm throughout Mexico during the Aztec Epoch and continues today."
"In many ways, these barbarian cultures, which culminated with the Aztec Empire, reminds me of the millions of illegal immigrants now crossing into the U.S, each year. And I suspect that if this illegal immigration continues to go unchecked, the results may very well be the same. The advancement of a great culture not only halted but became the foundation of an aberrant, cannibalistic culture."
"The Aztecs had nothing to do with the Golden Age of Mexico."
Aztecs were used as laborers in the fields and in the dirtiest jobs.
The creators were destroyed – the inheritors took over.
Toltecs were invaders – Aztecs were immigrants, he says.
"The way the Aztecs snuck into the Valley was analogous to the way millions of illegal Mexicans immigrants are sneaking into the U.S. today."
"Today, during many of the ritualistic-type dance festivals in the small towns of Mexico, the participants don attire which imitates both the barbarian Aztec and Apache, not the Teotihuacan culture."
"The young men are enamored with the idea of being descendants of the Aztec and the Apache."
"The modern Mexican is the descendant of the invading hordes of nomadic barbarians from the north to which Apache tribes belong."
"These are the ancestors of the modern –day Mexicans, who are still decapitating the heads of their enemies in the state of Michoacan, Guerrero, Chihuahua, the Yucitan, and others."
"This mass migration of millions of uneducated, unskilled, barbarians is not so different than that which is happening in the 21st century in the U.S."
"This was the Aztec world that collided with the 16th century Spaniards in 1519, when Hernan Cortez and his 600 men landed on the east coast near the present-day port city of Veracruz, Mexico.
