This is a helluva dilemma for Pres. Scheinbaum in Mexico.
It’s bad if the CIA has gone operational in the country & she doesn’t know about it.
But it’s also bad if she has authorized CIA’s activities. Given Mex’s nationalism, that would be compromising sovereignty.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Per the centrist European Democratic Party, it’s time to end reliance upon the Mastercard & Visa payment systems bc the US can no more be trusted.

After the EU, the UK is also moving towards payments autonomy. According to The Guardian, major British banks are exploring a national alternative to Visa and Mastercard, amid fears that US-owned systems could be switched off in a geopolitical crisis. 1/2
