Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has launched a new employment program as the nation braces for thousands to return home amid America’s deportation campaign.  BBVA Research believes there are around 4.1 Mexican nationals illegally residing in the US, accounting for around 37% of the total undocumented population. Sheinbaum’s new proposal has been met with much criticism by the Mexican people, as they believe the government abandoned rural areas long ago.

The Conexión Empresarial Paisano platform is listing 63,880 new job openings through 220 companies across all 32 states. The current plan is to provide 50,000 of these new openings to people deported or willing to return from the United States. “Mexico wants them to know they are welcome and that they can find dignified, well-paying work,” said Francisco Cervantes Díaz, president of the CCE, to Síntesis.

Salaries are pennies in comparison to US minimum wage, although the cost of living in Mexico is drastically less. Operational roles will begin with a monthly salary between $424 and $843, while tech jobs will earn between $800 and $1,600 monthly. The average cost of living in Mexico for a single person is around $1,300 per month, according to some estimates, with a family of four averaging a bit beneath $3,000. One-bedroom rentals range from $329-$563 monthly, while a three-bedroom could cost upward of $990. Naturally it is cheaper to live outside major cities, as monthly housing costs in places like Monterrey or Mexico City are much higher.

It is clear to see why people fled Mexico for a better life in the United States, with even the lowest paying part-time jobs offering more. Based on 2024 data from BBVA Research, 35% of Mexicans fell in the “working poor” category, which is a historic low. Yet, in 2022 43.5% of the population lived in poverty. The average person earns a mere $373 monthly or 7,441 pesos.

It will be difficult for someone earning a living in the US on the USD to return to a nation offering a fraction of the pay in pesos. Millions were sending dollars back to their families in Mexico, aiding the Mexican economy in general. People are justifiably upset that the government is now offering jobs to people who have already chosen to flee the nation, believing this is merely political virtue signaling.

The Failure of the London peace talks last Week was a critical defining moment. The “peace talks,” which were meant to take place in London on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, collapsed as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Wytkoff cancelled their attendance. Instead, Wytkoff headed for Moscow for his fourth meeting with Vladimir Putin. This was indeed what some will refer to as a watershed moment for European powers, demonstrating that they are not about to lure Trump into supporting their war of conquest and vengeance against Russia for the days of the Bolsheviks.

Zelensky now knows that he cannot play Trump as a fool. Now he has cleverly tried to con Trump into still creating World War III by changing the label again. He met with Trump at the Vatican for the Pope’s funeral. Zelensky’s new scheme is to get NATO protection without being a member of NATO. His proposal is now that he could not join NATO, which will provide the security guarantees with pretend peace-keepers against future Russian aggression, when this entire war began with Ukrainian aggression against the Russians in the Donbas.

The solution has always been to honor the Minsk Agreement, which Merkel and France intentionally lied about when they negotiated, playing Putin for a fool while Ukraine built an army. Honor that peace agreement, and 1.1 million Ukrainians would still be alive today, and 8 million would not have had to flee their country.

 

 

Putin even tried to explain the importance of the Minsk Agreement to avoid conflict. Zelensky understood that he was throwing his country into the meat-grinder all on the orders of the Neocons and NATO, who he now says they acknowledge he cannot join NATO, so they will provide the same protection just as a security guarantee without membership.

Allow the Donbas to vote and separate, as took place in former Yugoslavia, also resulting in countless deaths in the Kosovo War. It was the West that lied and wanted this war, pretending that they were defending Ukraine’s territory, which they could have also said about the breakup of Yugoslavia. Why not oppress all those ethnic groups to stay together?

It was former German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) who in 1888 foretold of a coming great world war that would “come out of some damned foolish thing in the Bakans.” The ethnic hatreds in this entire region are insolvable.

Ukraine MUST be divided like Yugoslavia, or there will NEVER be peace. Zelensky is playing Trump as the fool all over again. He does not propose NATO’s Article 5 protection, but he did express optimism that there could be guarantees similar to the protection it offers. Trump better not just count his fingers shaking hands with this piece of shit determined to create World War III and the NATO protection as Article-5-like guarantees that would still bring all of NATO into Ukraine if it is still not a member. You cannot trust Zelensky or any of the EU leaders, including Starmer.

Trump – you cannot be this stupid!!

The EU was hoping to get Trump to fund the insane war against Russia, as they are building their military in preparation for what will become World War III, the same strategy they pulled with the Minsk Agreement to buy time for Ukraine to create an army. This time, it is an EU army. The phrase “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” is attributed to Anthony Weldon, who wrote about it in his 1651 book, “The Court and Character of King James.” The saying emphasizes the importance of learning from past mistakes to avoid being deceived again. They are playing both Trump and Putin for fools once again.

Starmer, Macron, and Zelensky were hoping to fool Trump into providing an open-ended security guarantee for a Zelensky regime while Europe bought time to create its EU Army. They honestly think they are clever and more intelligent than everyone else. Moreover, they were seeking to defraud the United States with Ukraine’s rare earths pretense promising to sign some deal with Trump when last January 16th, 2025 Keir Starmer flew into Kiev and signed a 100-year partnership with Kiev worth £3 billion a year indefinitely while Zelensky signed over the bulk of Ukraine’s resources and infrastructure capital to British interests – not American. The deal was part of this idea of resurrecting Europe to rise against as the leader of the world, as if they were Charlemagne trying to revive the old Roman Empire.

The deal was supposed to boost London’s financial markets. However, as always, they expect the USA to fund the expenses while they reap the profits. Even Boris Johnson explained, without the US security guarantee, “not a penny can flow from this investment.” Indeed, Starmer also confirmed that the “US backstop is vital” for London to reap the profits, which would include rare earths that they would then mark up and sell to the USA. As Marco Rubio explained, “President Trump isn’t going to take that. He’s not going to get gamed. He hopes Zelensky isn’t trying to hustle the United States; that’s not going to be productive here.” This is an outright fraud against the United States.

 

 

Of course, Zelensky is a Neonazi and he gets his instructions from the Neocons and London. He pretended to be Christian and joked about confiscating the assets of Russians and Jews. He announced he was suddenly Jewish ONLY after he became president.

This is what the Ukrainians were doing to Jews. They killed the woman and threw her child into a grave alive, so they did not waste bullets on Jewish Children. This is what Zelensky would joke about on stage before becoming president.

These horrible world leaders, willing to sacrifice their own people for personal hatreds, should be in prison. They think that they are smarter than Trump. Sorry to say – he is not Biden! Playing Trump for the fool, both Britain and France had to back off from sending in their peace-keeping troops to Ukraine, which would have protected this deal of strip-mining Ukraine. So now they have revised their scheme to get Trump to agree to NATO protection in an Article-5-like proposal, which they will still use to blame Putin as the aggressor, so that they can strip-mine Russia, or so they believe.

They have also played Putin for the fool, assuming he, too, is stupid and would agree to their terms. At the same time, they build a European army to achieve their ultimate goal of conquering Russia and gaining the $75 trillion in assets that Russia has in natural resources. Getting their hands on that, they believe, will elevate Europe to rule the world since that is twice the value of the US national debt.

Upon the death of Pepin, Charlemagne (768-814 AD) became king of the Franks in 768 AD, initially as co-ruler with his brother Carloman I. However, Carloman suddenly died unexpectedly and unexplained in December 771, conveniently leaving Charlemagne as the sole ruler of the Frankish Kingdom. He then began to expand his empire, conquering tribes. He became the King of the Lombards in 774 AD, and then Emperor of the Romans from 800 AD. It was about three intervals of the 309.6-year cycle until another Frenchman sought to conquer Europe – Napoleon. Here we are, 224 years later, with eyes once again on conquering Russia.

 

 

Putin is also not dumb. I would NEVER agree to such a proposal involving the EU, which has never told the truth, has its eyes on the conquest of Russia, and I would sign a mutual agreement with China that if one is attacked, the other will come to their defense. Then the old Cold War will rise again, but the EU is just not trustworthy.

Ukraine is engaging in terrorism, not warfare. They are violating every principle of international law, targeting even an engineer in Russia who worked on the modernization of Russia’s electronic warfare in Ukraine. This is NOT a legitimate target in war. Ukraine is NOT an honorable adversary. All rules of engagement should be forgotten. So, people who design weapons in Ukraine are legitimate targets for assassination now? That was not how wars were fought.

Moscow will dictate the terms of peace if that can even exist. Zelensky has betrayed the Ukrainian people for all the money. He is so hated in Ukraine, and he knows he would never win an election, so he keeps extending the Martial Law, and the politicians who support him keep filling their offshore accounts with untold amounts of money. Zelensky would have to flee Ukraine forever, and even that will not guarantee his safety. It will be a Ukrainian who assassinates this ruthless individual. If he were an Albanian, they would kill Zelensky, his wife, children, and the dog. Just as Ukrainians are engaging in targeted assassinations of civilians, this places all Ukrainians on a list for assassination.

My ADVICE to Trump: insist that an election take place, and send in Americans to monitor the voting. We have the technology to allow online voting securely. All Ukrainians would be allowed to vote in the Donbas, as well as the 8 million hiding in Europe. Let the Ukrainian people vote on their future – not this obvious piece of shit and that disparages “shit” for he is far worse.

Despite all the fake news, Ukraine is losing and will NEVER survive this Neocon war.

This is NOT my opinion – this is the Computer forecast!

Zelensky is taking the EU with him!

COMMENT: Hey Marty
The conservatives failed to pivot against the Trump screw up.
Trump has push the Canadians right into the globalists arms.Is Trump that stupid.
He should have endorsed the PPC party to take of the floodlights on Pierre.
Pierre walks and talks like Trump..Canada is not awake enough to see the globalist plot.
Woke Canadians hate Trump.
I tried to contact the conservatives to change tactics or they would lose.Instead they parrot axe the tax on every tv ad .
They needed to expose Carney as a You Will Own Nothing campaign against his cult religion of the Wef.
Show the Davos elite flying in their planes.
Show that the Wef is the Trillion dollar private club.
Show the Clips of Carney bragging about him being one of the elite.
Show the clips of Klaus bragging about penetrating Canada including the Ndp.
Show the clips of Klaus , Yuval Noah actually saying what will we do with all these useless people.The Wef clips on 15 minute cities, mocking God, chipping us, becoming Gods, and them saying on camera we need to reduce the population by BILLIONS.
WHY dont the conservatives not hit back.
I see that on social media the people all think Carney is a financial wizard with experience.
Liberal supporters think the Wef is a harmless think tank.They have spun a counter conspiracy that the IDU is the threat .
The IDU is a far right wing Trump ideological
Religious cult.

annonymous

REPLY: I agree. Inferior strategy on the part of the Conservatives. It is like they want to lose. There is no question that Carney will preside over a sharp recession into 2028. He has fueled the fire against Trump, but in the process, he has ensured that the economic ties with the United States will suffer, as he hopes to align more closely with the EU, which is aligned with the WOKE agenda to the end. I think Trump’s rhetoric of Canada becoming the 51st State was a political mistake.

If that had been a real merger, then Canada would have gotten two senators for each province. They could have joined with the Democrats and killed the Republican Party, making sure that Marxism would finally destroy the US economy, reducing productivity with equality, and fulfilling our computer forecast that China will emerge as the financial capital of the world.

 

COMMENT: Marty, you were right. These people are myopic and have no idea of how the world economy functions. They reveal their ignorance, blaming Trump’s tariffs for the coming recession, when you pointed out that even China turned them down, as did Europe, as soon as your ECM turned them down one year ago. The fake news and analysis is unbelievable.

Jed

REPLY: I know. It was inevitable that the decline in the world economy would be blamed on Trump and his tariffs when it is really all about excessive regulation and taxes on a global level. Anyone who blames the tariffs has ignored history and has bought into the propaganda of the Democrats that blamed the Great Depression on tariffs during the 1932 election. No serious economist has ever agreed with that since the Smoot-Hawley Act was a response to Europe, and it was passed in June 1930, after the crash had already begun. It was focused on agriculture.

These are the idiotic statements that prevent society from learning anything at all. At last November’s World Economic Conference in Orlando, I warned we were headed into a recession in the USA, but most likely a depression in Europe. That forecast was before Trump’s tariffs, just as the Smoot-Hawley Tariff came after the 1929 Crash in June 1930.

 

COMMENT: Carney is lying about everything. He is telling people the US is over and Canada will now lead the world. Anyone can look up the facts. U.S. total trade is 22.7% of world trade. $32.1 trillion. Canada’s total trade is $1.6333 trillion, or just 5.1%. He is lying to the public and the world.

You are right. This is a dangerous man.

SL

REPLY: The fact that he is supposed to be an economist means that these comments are deliberate lies to manipulate the people for nefarious reasons. Like Zelensky, he does not care about the people of Canada. This is the Globalist Agenda.

Carney Can Still Seize Control of Canada even if he loses to the Conservatives!

In Canada’s parliamentary system, the formation of a government depends on the number of seats won in the House of Commons, NOT the popular vote. This is highly confusing to Americans, for the outcomes can be very distorted.

If Pierre Poilievre (Conservative Leader) Wins More Seats, what happens?

If the Conservative Party wins the most seats (even without a majority), Poilievre would typically be invited by the Governor General to form a government as Prime Minister. He could attempt to govern with a minority, seeking support from other parties on key votes. If no party has a majority, Poilievre would need to demonstrate he can maintain the confidence of the House and form informal alliances or ad-hoc agreements with other parties.

Carney’s Path to a Government Victory.

Mark Carney would NOT negotiate with Trump and would certainly make the trade war a real thing. He could form a government despite winning fewer seats than the Conservatives by negotiating to create a coalition or formal agreement with other parties, such as the NDP or Bloc Québécois, to collectively hold a majority of seats, even if he receives fewer votes than Poilievre.

Now let’s dive deeper. Since Mark Carney is Canada’s 24th Prime Minister, he might try this first, but if Poilievre’s party has the most seats, constitutional convention usually gives him the first chance to test the House’s confidence. If Poilievre fails to secure confidence, losing what is called a throne speech or budget vote, then the Governor General could then invite Carney to try forming a government with cross-party support.

In Canada, a government survives only if it retains majority support in key votes. Back in 2008, a proposed opposition coalition tried to replace Stephen Harper’s minority government, but Harper prorogued Parliament to avoid a confidence vote. This underscores the political games at play that are not just procedural nature but backroom deals.

Therefore, on Monday, if Poilievre’s party wins the most seats, he will likely become Prime Minister. However, Carney could only form a government if he secured a majority coalition and Poilievre failed to win confidence, a rare and politically contentious scenario.

This is why Carney is a real threat to Canada, for he has made it clear that he is a globalist and will destroy Canada’s economy to try to overthrow Trump, just as Zelensky has done to his country, also on the Globalists’ directives.

COMMENT: By almost any metric, Canada is worse off than it was 10 years ago when the Liberals took power. Canadians are poorer. Public services have deteriorated. People are dying waiting for medical care. Even life expectancy and the birthrate have dropped. And that’s not all.  While housing costs have gone up by $43 per day since the Liberals were elected, violence — including gun violence — has spiked across the country. The national debt has increased, military preparedness has dropped and the economy has stagnated.

FG

REPLY: Carney is doing a good job of exaggerating Trump’s comments. That’s who he has been running against – not the Conservatives. Carney is part of the LEFT Globalist Agenda.

COMMENT: Martin,

Had to laugh here’s a comment about Janice Stein and Mark Carney.

As my father in law always said, “in the valley of the blind the one eyed man sees the most.”

The world is full of Academics that have no clue, too many people playing business and politics with other people’s money and lives!

“Janice Stein Endorsed Carney .
Canada’s Leading, Most Respected Political Scientist and International Affairs Expert Janice Stein
saying “Mark Carney is the “World’s Leading Economist” and Could very well lead the “Whole World” through the Trump Crisis, let alone Canada.”
Stein isn’t just a leading voice in Canada—she’s recognized worldwide for her expertise in conflict resolution, global governance, and international relations. When someone of her global standing says this, it’s a big deal!
Janice Gross Stein is Canada’s leading, most respected political scientist and international affairs expert.”

When a third of the country works for the Government, and a third is living off the Government, it sure makes it hard for the other third to vote for a Government.

Unfortunately, this Monday, Canada will witness another Liberal win, which will confirm your forecast that Canada will split!

It’s just time!

Jim M

REPLY: Carney was a key player in this Net-Zero nonsense, and he has lied about everything and acts like he is running against Trump – nobody else. I have not yet confirmed that the coup at the WEF was also in hopes of supporting Carney to claim he is not truly linked to Schwab, since he is no longer there. Trudeau resigned to avoid a NO CONFIDENCE vote, which would have led to the loss of power for the Liberals. Every step of this game is to retain power for the LEFT.

Carney is the instrument of Canada’s demise, for the LEFT will always burn down their own houses to protest against the RIGHT. Carney offers nothing that will benefit Canada, and the joke that Canada will replace the USA as the new leader of the world is laughable. Canada is highly socialistic, so the “income inequality” is lower, just like Communist Russia and China, which ultimately caused their demise. The productivity of the US compared to Canada explains the cost of the more regulations that Canada adopts, following Marx’s socialist philosophy.

• United States: $76,643
• Canada: $56,316
  The U.S. GDP per capita is about 36% higher than Canada’s in nominal terms.

The U.S. indeed has higher inequality, so that median income disparities may be less pronounced. The U.S. generally has higher labor productivity due to greater investment in innovation and technology. The U.S. population (332 million) is nearly 9x larger than Canada’s (38 million), the US economy accounts for 25% of the entire world’s consumer spending, which is why the US is the reserve currency of the world because everyone has to sell whatever products for export to Americans – not Canadians.

Carney’s Vision of Replacing the United States as New World Leader

There has been a coup at the World Economic Forum because these very LEFTIST views and agendas are collapsing. So, Carney wants to lead the world on a sinking ship? As one reader put it.

Military:

The 2025 Canadian federal election will be held on April 28 to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament. The problem with Canada is that the Parliamentary System does not allow the people to vote for who should lead the country. Carney would never become president in the United States, where 42% would be the loser. The problem is that governments are cobbled together with coalitions, and this is what prevents any true economic progress for the future.

The LEFT has been declining since its high in 1949, necessitating coalition governments to remain relevant. Trudeau only won 32.62% of the vote in 2021. Carney should beat that since the 2021 election was most likely the bottom of a 72-year cycle. Additionally, the higher percentage of the workforce employed by the government in Canada naturally gives them an edge over conservatives. The rate of the US workforce employed in government is 13.8%, compared to 18.6% in Canada. This is what has lowered the Marxist view of “income equality” in Canada vs the USA.

We will do an Update on the threat of Canada Splitting soon.

COMMENT: Nigel Farage said that your WEC events were the “alternative to Davos,” but you also don’t gouge people as Schwab does. He charges between 500,000 and 700,000 CHF to be a member and 27,000 CHF to attend Davos. Your forecasts come true, theirs never do. Our firm did not renew for 2025 after Trump won the election. Our board follows your projections, not those of the World Economic Forum (WEF). You’re correct, you went there only for political connections, not for the forecasts. Their failure to achieve Agenda 2030 is apparent. Schwab’s board members have been placed in high positions, from the ECB and the EU, as well as with the gullible like Trudeau and Carney in Canada.

Nigel’s Reform Party is now also in first place. This is because he shares your philosophy, not Schwab’s.

You are the only real forecaster and the genuine alternative to Davos.

DH

REPLY: Thank you. In all honesty, Schwab was never right because he is an academic caught up in the Marxist theory that the government has the power to control and alter the direction of the economy and society. Nobody has ever been able to change the business cycle, let alone “flatten the curve” of a virus.

He stuffed political positions with his star pupils and bragged about infiltrating so many cabinets, especially those of the Liberal Party in Canada and in New Zealand. 

 

 

The lockdown destroyed the economy because these people only look at a single issue and cannot understand that (1) we are all connected, and (2) the lockdown failed to reverse the climate change nonsense, which was the fundamental objective, nor did it stop the virus that comes back seasonally. The WEF was proud of the lockdowns.

What they just did to Schwab is consistent throughout history: the LEFT is always the most violent. They always view themselves as the victims of the RIGHT because they work for their money and get ahead. The LEFT revolutions of 1848 and the early 20th century have killed hundreds of millions. Nothing will ever change in this regard.

By the way, Musk owns less than 13% of Tesla. They are destroying their pensions. But the LEFT is never known for its intelligence.
