Shhhhhhhh, Listen... The Heads Are Talking

It’s happening. In the past fews days Mexico has began to violently swivel on it’s delicate axis. The lines are no longer clear, everything has blurred. We have been sucked into sometype of surreal vortex, there’s no turning back, looks like we’re all in for the long haul, ready or not.

Shhhhhhhh, Listen... The Heads Are Talking

In the past two days, more than sixteen bodies have been found decapitated. In those same two days, hundreds of anonymous banners have been placed around the nation, government officials have voted to more than double police officials pay, nationwide marches are in movement, and people are talking. The talking isn’t isolated to the rich or the poor, the political parties P.R.I. or P.A.N, educated or ignorant, men or women; as I stated before the lines are blurring. The good, bad, and even the heads seem to be speaking a common language.

Shhhhhhhh, Listen... The Heads Are Talking

The sixteen heads gifted in these past two days seem to be advance pay in our yearly decapitation allotment. The acts themselves are nothing new to Mexico. The drug cartels started their head rolling lessons two years ago when the first two heads were literally rolled across a disco’s dance floor as a messege to the government. These new, unidentified heads, all sixteen of them, seem to be delivering an even louder messege, not to the government, but to the people. Someone’s feeling pressure. These feelings seem to be causing anger, eratic behaviour, and loss of control. Could our nation’s common citizen reconciliations have caused such reactions?

Shhhhhhhh, Listen... The Heads Are Talking

Is it possible for the good citizens and the bad government to create a united force against against the murdering evil? Can we all take a stand, together, in efforts to win back our country? Can good cops oust bad cops? Can decent politicians denounce the corrupt? Can the rich and poor forget about money? Can we all fight for the release of one country, our country?

Surely the are far more of us than there are of them. Is it true, by faith and belief, we can be delivered from evil and forgiven of our trespasses? We, as a society, allowed this to happen. Our national deafness and silence allowed the corruption which in turn empowered the drug trade and cartels. We, as a nation, must remember who we are, where we came from, and together decide where we want to go. It is time for those who created the monster to unite in it’s final destruction.

Shhhhhhhh, Listen... The Heads Are Talking

Let the talking heads give us hope, instead of fear. Let us stand up and stand tall. We must push forward and not back down. It will not be quick, painless, nor easy. It will surely get worse, before getting better, but we can make a difference, together. We deserve unity, our children deserve security. Mexico deserves peace.

The deaf will now hear and the mute will speak.
STOP THE VIOLENCE..

The post made a very scary and eerie reading. It kinda spooked me. The way you have written it would scare away potential travelers and/or investors in Mexico. When Mexico aspires to develop at a rapid pace now, such publicity may prove to be detrimental to Mexico's cause.

Hi John,
It’s not my intention to spook anyone, but I hardly think my post will create the downfall of Mexico. I am not revealing any hidden secrets about my country, actually it the post is much milder than many international media posted on the web and circulating international media channels.

The truth is, we are living a very real and ugly situation...that’s not to say we are hopeless and our time is near. Quite the contrary, citizens have finally awakened due to these horrific crimes and we now realize we have helped to create a monster and we must be an active part in recreating and uplifting of the good and beauty in Mexico.

The best thing that is happening in Mexico is there is some kind of a public movement against violence and general government apathy towards its people.

I am optimistic that the government will be forced to rethink about how it dealt with rising crime and other issues now. We can't afford to see Mexico failing.

Bob,
Thanks for your comment. I hope we succeed. We the people are not looking for revolution, we want peace and respect and realize to do so we must remove corruption and hate.. The word play of ”talking heads”, although morbid, is true. These horrific acts have scared us silent and sent us in the past. This violence is increasing and it seems the government cannot or will not stop it. Citizens need to take responsibilty as well.

John,
Ir is not my intention to scare anyone, but I’m not exposing any delicate information... In fact, my entry is fairly mild compared to what is shown on major news channels across the world.
The ”talking heads” title is word play on a very real, yet ugly truth. The truth is these types of horrific violence are awakening the citizens faster and faster. The same citizens who love Mexico and want the return of peace and unity.

Great writeup Oscar. I am delighted to see Mexicans are not shying away this time and using whatever platform they can to voice their concerns and write about the issues plaguing the beautiful country.

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your comments and support. We have no other choice, we need to save our country. We have hidden the truth and ran from it for too long.

Oscar, keep up the good work. People can bring changes when there is collective will. I hope one day Iraqis will also rise up as a single voice and crush the violence mongers. We are also getting fed up.

Thanks Dana...

It’s not about portraying my country as evil.. It’s about truth, and what one needs to do. We need to seek it, and create change, for the better of all.

Oscar,
I hope Mexico has reached its lowest point where things can’t get more worse and situation must start to improve because of pressure of people...
Hope this darkest hour will pass and there will be a strong people’s movement towards light...

I can’t believe that mafia has resorted to such symbolic gestures. The things must be really out of hand if such acts are occurring; with regularity it seems. What initiated them is what I’d like to know.

But if the public is gearing up for something then this is the time for some vigilantes to rise from amongst the populace I’d think.

Corruption, power, and greed initiated it. People who have been held down by iron fist and find a way, although illegally, to surpass it, won’t let go of the power easily...The extreme acts like this are only symbolic ofthe desperation to remain in control.
