13 years is a far off prediction to make. I can give some basic estimates off of what i see in current trends. These represent my personal opinions:Water stress and rationing.Water stressed cities and water rationing/water bills in place. Households are only allowed to use a certain amount of water, you have to pay a bill on water too. Water related black economy is in place with Water Tanker mafia operating in cities by paying off cops and smuggling/selling water in urban areas. Cops regularly bust poor people for hoarding water from broken city pipes. Unfortunate episodes of drought like the Thar drought will take place more often in the hinterlands.Pakistan turning into a water-scarce country, say experts828 children died in drought-hit Thar in three years, NA panel toldGrowing Chinese Expat communityA growing Chinese expat community and a large infusion of Chinese culture into Pakistan. I’m not sure about the exact amount, but Pakistan could become home to a large and growing Chinese expat community who will primarily be concentrated in Lahore, Punjab and Islamabad-Rawalpindi but also spread across in smaller communities and compounds dotting the country. Some of them will be settled close to CPEC related projects while others might start their own private businesses and mix with the local population. We might have government and legal systems in place facilitating their travel across the country and security provisions. There might also be an uptick in marriages between Chinese people and Pakistani people and it might not even be restricted to Uyghur Muslim Chinese and Pakistani Chinese. I have observed that Chinese people are pretty secular minded and don’t normally make a big deal of converting for marriage. This is a personal observation, feel free to correct me.How Pakistan is becoming China's land of opportunity“China Town” Likely to be Established In KarachiGrowing infusion of Chinese culture into PakistanChinese cultural infusion into the country deserves it’s own separate point. Pakistan as a nation state has a curious case of identity related issues due to our somewhat hybrid state as a Muslim majority country located between the greater Indian civilization sphere and the Greater Iranian-Turkic-Afghan cultural spheres. In this state of half-existence, we technical don’t fully qualify for inclusion in either cultural sphere. Pakhtuns and Baloch identify more with Iranian-Afghan culture than India from my observations. Punjabis tend to be split between the ones embracing their South Asian identity or fully cutting themselves off from local stuff to embrace Islamic identity. Sindh on the other hand is a pretty self-contained culture in it’s own right. Because of this void in our identity, our multi-cultural and multi-ethnic nature and somewhat fluid existence, Pakistan has always proven fertile ground for the importation of foreign culture and ideology whether it’s the Arabization under General Zia, Afghan cultural influx in the 80s and 90s, the Indian media influx and Bollywood culture under Musharraf and the PPP 2008–2013 government or the current Chinese cultural influx under the democratic government of 2013–2018. This also fits in with the Pakistan’s ancient heritage as a crossing point between greater civilisation spheres, as it sits adjacent to Turkic, Iranian, Afghan, Sikh, Hindu and Chinese civilisations and culture.We will see a sharp uptick in Chinese food consumption, Chinese language use, Chinese clothing and goods, Chinese business presence, Chinese architecture and Chinese cultural practices like Chinese dragon symbols, fire crackers, new years celebration related stuff, their garden styles and maybe even some Feng Shui in more wealthier, liberal suburbs. Chinese cultural symbols will definitely become more visible if not commonplace in Pakistan by 2030.A lot of this stuff has happened already or is currently happening. The Ali Baba CEO is setting up his presence in the country. Property prices are rising in certain areas as Chinese buy real estate here. Chinese goods and services are becoming mainstream across the nation. Chinese people intermingling, roaming the streets of Pakistan in major cities will be a common sight rather than a rarity in 2030, as evidenced by the Dawn News video about Chinese businesswomen selling cellphones in Karachi:Dawn.comPakistan also has a large and growing number of people learning and using the Chinese language. Chinese Confucian language centres are swamped with so many language students they have to do classes multiple times a day to accommodate them all. Confucian centres have had mixed results across the globe depending on the politics of the region, but due to the close nature of Pakistan and China’s relationship they have been met with a large amount of success in the country.Even certain projects of CPEC are designed to enhance the projection of Chinese soft power via culture in Pakistan. This is an extract about the fiber optic line being placed from Pakistan to China:“A national fibreoptic backbone will be built for the country not only for internet traffic, but also terrestrial distribution of broadcast TV, which will cooperate with Chinese media in the “dissemination of Chinese culture”.”We might soon see Chinese news channels, TV shows and films translated and played on local media here. The massive popularity of Turkish dramas in Pakistan offers a precedent. It remains to be seen whether Chinese media finds a foothold in this conservative Muslim country.Confucius Institutes expanding rapidly to meet demand for Chinese language skills - ICEF Monitor - Market intelligence for international student recruitmentMandarin lessons to become compulsory in PakistanPakistan embraces language lessons and Chinese cultureMother China: A 'Chinese revolution' sweeps across PakistanDawn.comPak-China ties getting stronger through cultural corridor: Sun WeidongBut all in all, several aspects of Chinese culture, Chinese people, their language, media, architecture, diet and practises will become pretty visible, if not commonplace, by 2030.A Different EconomyWe will transition from a agricultural-semi industrial economy to a more logistics-semi industrial-commercial economy with a reduced role for agriculture.Part of this will be due to water shortages and land loss reducing agricultural output. Part of this will be due to Chinese investments changing the economic landscape and bringing certain new sectors into greater prominence. The CPEC investments total somewhere around 20% of our current economic size. If you sink 50 billion into a 1 trillion USD economy, it might not change that economy much and just be absorbed without changing the economic footprint of different sectors. But in a smaller economy like Pakistan which is only around 270 billion USD, 50 billion USD will change how much different sectors contribute to the economy, which sectors employ how many people and so on.An authoritarian democracyA contradiction perhaps, but one that can only work in Pakistan. We are seeing even today the uneasy nexus between the Armed Forces, the Establishment, the Elected career politicians, the Judiciary and the Islamists settling into a stable equilibrium. Neither having the required power to overtake all the others. And some, not having the capacity to do so.Pakistan is an increasingly large and complex country. Both in terms of size and internal factionalism. A coup cannot control and contain the entirety of the nation as it could in the past. And neither does the inclination for a coup exist anymore (for now).Similarly, the PML-N has seen the limits of its power in the face of an energetic and fanatical PTI and an assertive Judiciary.Without going into details, suffice it to say that all the different factions like the courts, the Army, the PML-N, the PTI, the Islamists and so on have seen the limits of their power during the tussle to redefine Pakistan from the 1998–2017 period and they have all settled into an uneasy but currently steady equilibrium that we see today. A limited democracy. A flawed republic.But the increasing trend towards authoritarianism has been the one key element common to all these factions. Mass surveillance, deportations, border controls, militarised law and order, suspension of normal procedures for quick and easy enforcement and so on have continue regardless of which way the power of the pendulum swings.After taking a beating from all sides during the turbulence of the 2008–2013 period when the country was transitioning between military rule and civilian rule, the state is starting to settle and reassert itself.There is a growing and gnawing fear that Pakistan is in for some immense challenges ahead in the near future. And that fear is translating into increasingly harsh and punitive government measures for controlling citizens and mass surveillance. And these measures pass because of the flawed nature of our democracy, lack of civil society, general consensus among most government power centres that they are needed and a populace scarred by terrorism for decades willing to accept them.Missing persons, jailing for criticism of powerful institutions and people in public, harsh and questionable sentencing under anti-terror laws, mass surveillance of private lives, torture, abduction and death penalties will become more frequent. Military courts will be a permanent part of the judicial system and sentencing/trials for terrorism or related charges will be “off the books” for the most part. Terror will be wielded as an instrument of the state to impose harsh law and order.Pakistan's Military-Democracy ComplexMilitary courts resume in PakistanPakistan, currently, is a competitive authoritarian regime and not a democratic oneA two front military deploymentAs the war in Afghanistan intensifies, placing significant pressure on the Afghan government, we might see a tense border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. There will be heavy fortifications, artillery exchanges and extremely restricted travel across the western border similar to the border with India.Under defence policy in the Trump administration, which is increasingly defined by the Generals appointed by President Trump, we are seeing a larger troop commitment by the US to Afghan government defence against an increasingly stronger Taliban insurgency. The US will not be willing to give up all of it’s military presence and nation building investments in Afghanistan are spending so much blood and treasure on the country in nearly 2 decades of war.However, if the US government does change policy on Afghanistan after a change in Presidents and does begin a pullout, it’s quite possible India might send troops and arms to prop up the Afghan government.India is currently undergoing a transformation in foreign policy and taking a more muscular foreign policy approach on the back of its growing economic and military capability. India, similar to the US, might not allow investments in Afghanistan and a friendly regime go to waste if the US were to pullout and the Afghan government were to face a collapse. A small but significant deployment of Indian forces in Afghanistan to assist the current government might be a possibility by 2030 if the Western ISAF mission were to abandon Afghan government in the face of an increasingly aggressive Taliban offensive. We might even see other smaller nations like Bangladesh and Nepal sent small support contingents as well under an Indian umbrella.Of course, this possibility might not come to pass if the Afghan troops manage to hold out against the Taliban with ISAF air support/special ops backup. Or if a political settlement is reached with Russia-Iran-China-Pakistan acting as mediators between the Afghan government and the Taliban.Whether or not ISAF remains in Afghanistan or leaves and is replaced by India or we see the Afghan government alone, the situation at the Western border is likely to remain tense enough to necessitate military deployment on 2 fronts.Even if the government collapses and the Taliban take over the entire country, a 2 front deployment might still be in place. The last 16 years have changed Afghanistan for a long time to come. There will always be an influx of terror from the West, necessitating a fortified and controlled border and the military troops needed to screen it.This would mean more defence expenditure as well. Which would either add to our debt, be absorbed by the economic growth enabled by CPEC or be made up with foreign aid (the SCO’s counter-terror budget for example).More technology, more advanced infrastructureDue to the capitalist and relatively open nature of Pakistan’s economy and the current trend of Chinese investments in Pakistani infrastructure, we are likely to keep up with a lot of tech trends in the world.Military tech aside, Pakistan in 2030 could see more advanced cellular comms, wireless payments, subways, urban metros, renewable energies and even some electric vehicles.Technological progress doesn’t automatically mean a better life though. Pakistan experienced a massive boom in internet, cellular tech and urban mass transit but at the same time experienced massive law and order problems, terrorism and flooding. But the point here is, that by 2030, this trend is likely to continue.China’s WeChat app and its ushering in of wireless digital payments, scheduling and other options could cross over into Pakistan as well. The current CPEC project laying down a fibre optic cable from Pakistan to China and China’s Ali Baba entering Pakistan’s e-commerce market could enhance this integration of digital economies and services in Pakistan and China.WeChat faced issues with it’s adoption in countries like Vietnam because it contained a map that showed the Nine Dash Line as China’s border in the South China sea which angered countries like Vietnam and Philippines who oppose those claims. Pakistan, however, does not have any sentiments over that dispute so WeChat could become on of the mainstays in the country’s digital market, especially if it is integrated with the country’s e-commerce and digital, wireless financial transactions infrastructure.This makes sense historically as well as ever since Musharraf opened up the economy during his tenure, we’ve pretty much automatically adopted tech from abroad in our localised setting. Whether it’s Netflix, Uber or what not. And this is likely to continue.And the CPEC investments in infrastructure (urban rail lines, metros), fiber optics and e-commerce will also usher in more up to date tech in everyday Pakistani life.Pakistan Has A Growing Tech SceneOpinion | Pakistan, the Next Software Hub?Major partner in Chinese lead regional orgs like the SCO rather than Western institutionsSAARC will be dead by 2030 barring a major Chinese diplomatic intervention to act as a mediator between India and Pakistan. The road to peace between India and Pakistan increasingly passes through Beijing as the systemic barriers to peace between India and Pakistan are making it increasingly difficult for a bilateral process to work.SAARC’s death suits both country’s just fine. It allows India to focus on BIMSTEC and BBIN. And Pakistan focuses on the SCO. Pakistan has long advocated joining a regional forum where India isn’t the only economic heavyweight (and thus, the sole power) as was the case with SAARC and the SCO with it’s Russian and Chinese members meets this criteria perfectly.This will be compounded by the fact that the only major economic, diplomatic and counter terror alliance that Pakistan and India will share in common will be the SCO. And the SCO is dominated by the policy agenda set forward by China.Pakistan will be increasingly embedded in the SCO and possible majority of its economic, diplomatic, military and counter terror activities will be under the auspices of the SCO regional framework. Economic integration and regional cooperation will be increasingly defined with China, Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan (the latter with a pinch of salt).How the entry of India and Pakistan transforms the SCO’s agendaSAARC Is Dead; Long Live SAARCGreater Debt Problems and more Debt relief and servicing with the AIIB and Chinese state banks rather than the IMF/World BankPakistan’s debt problem is unlikely to go away anytime soon. Declining exports might soon be compounded probably by the GCC countries kicking out Pakistani labourers and workers from their countries due to Pakistan’s refusal to be involved in their disputes with Iran. Pakistan’s debt issues will plague it well into the next decade.Because of cooling ties with the US that has the most significant voting rights in institutions like the IMF and World Bank, its possible that future debt servicing will not be possible from the IMF. Instead, Chinese banks like the AIIB might take up Pakistan’s debt management programs.China bails out Pakistan with over $1 billion in loansEurobond debt paid off with Chinese loan - The Express TribuneMore state fragility, urban pressure, crimeWith a population straining at 200 million, a huge youth bulge and growing stress on scarce economic resources, it’s a blunt fact that there will be an increased threat to the state from large segments of society unable to get jobs and business opportunities.While CPEC related projects and investments will stave off pressure from the government for a while, until and unless massive investments are made in education and training sectors, new business opportunities created, exports boosted and trade accelerated: the country is in for some deep problems. More and more rural to urban migration will occur as well on the backs of a declining agricultural sector, environmental degradation and lack of rural opportunities in general. This will stress city infrastructure and collect large groups of people in one place which is always a recipe for disaster during times of tense political and economic crises.Three trends i’m uncertain about:Will we lean more towards Iran or the GCC in 2030?Will religious conservatism be less or more in 2030?Will CPEC integration occur with India, Iran or both or neither?The Iran-GCC issue is in a state of flux. On one hand we are in trouble with the GCC as they deport more of our labor force, we refuse to send troops to Yemen, strictly stay out of Saudi lead military force against Iran and have committed ourselves to defend Saudi Arabia only from a hostile invasion.On the other hand, we just shot down an Iranian drone, our border with Iran is unstable with border guards being killed and mortars being fired and delays in economic integration.The situation remains in a state of flux and it’s hard to determine whether we will stick with our current neutrality, lean towards the GCC or lean towards Iran in 2030.The religious conservatism also deserves some analysis. The long war on terror has upset the forces of political Islam who have lost key strongholds in their north western regions to upstart parties or establishment parties pursuing a primarily economic rather than Islamist agenda.On the one hand we see the old conservatism and ultra conservatism even still at play as we see ISIS encroach in the region, religious mob violence, honor killings and terrorist violence persist. On the other hand we see massive reduction in non-state Islamist actors holding sovereign territory as military offensives kick into gear, intelligence operations nab more terrorists, the western border is sealed, refugee camps emptied and more violent factions law down arms to join mainstream political activities. There has been quite an opening up of Pakistani society with more media channels having quite liberal content, more women in the work force and higher educational standards. It’s a far leap over what our society was like in the 90s.Pakistan has never been a resource rich country like the GCC so it has always had to balance some aspects of modernity and progress with its traditional, conservative form of Islam in order to remain a viable threat to it’s eastern neighbor.Nowhere is this balancing act better symbolized than by the Hijabi female fighter pilots in the Pakistan air force, walking the fine line between modernity and traditional values.What our society will look like in 2030 in terms of this balancing act and which way we swing more, remains to be seen.And ofcourse, the last point is a question over what path the future of Indian, Pakistani and Iranian relations take. CPEC integration with the giant economies of Iran and India is a goal for China as part of it’s OBOR project and even Pakistan seems quiet open to the idea.Shun ‘enmity’, join CPEC: Pakistan Army commander tells IndiaWhether all three countries involved manage to resolve their differences and push forward in economic integration is a question that remains to be answered, although given the current border crises that just popped up between China and India, i have a pessimistic viewpoint on what the future could hold.Pakistan, due to its somewhat hybrid identity has shifted constantly as a society throughout the decades of it’s existence and has proven fertile ground for foreign cultures, ideologies and social concepts to take root.Similarly, her position as a nexus between major competing powers and Geopolitical forces has shifted her economic, political and military fortunes considerably and they too have remained in a state of flux. Add to that the upcoming pressures of water stress and overpopulation.I could be 100% wrong about everything i predicted in this answer. Or 100% right. Or somewhere in between. That, is pretty much Pakistan in a nutshell.

Mexico City - Sometime in the near future.In a successful coup d'état against the current administration, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is ousted from power, with the aid of the Mexican Police, Armed Forces and disillusioned Mexican citizens. Taking the necessary precautions to ensure that the coup is contained to government installations and does not devolve into another Mexican Revolution. With Obrador and his government brought to their knees, I relish the moment and proclaim that the days of the Federal Constitutional Republic which has brought nothing but poverty, corruption and chaos to the Mexican people are well and truly over. Announcing the rise of a temporary coalition government. One that will serve the state and its people, for the sole benefit of the people.As the leader of the successful coup, with my influence and support from the police, military and general population, I am placed in control of the new government with full Presidential powers, effectively becoming the 59th President of the United Mexican States. Upon being sworn into office, I immediately begin creating my new Presidential Cabinet and establish a National Socialist/Fascist government of my own. Appointing only the best politicians and supporters to prominent positions in the government by merit, or force the incumbent to pledge their allegiance to me.Following the creation of my new political cabinet, I order the Mexican Armed Forces to rally all available forces at Campo Marte and prepare for all-out offensive operations, against the infamous Mexican Drug Cartels. Simultaneously, I call for a special session of Congress in the Mexican Senate, where I set plans to pass my own Enabling Act. Stating that in order for the government to carry out the necessary procedures against the threat of cartel violence across the nation, the Senate will have to support the act. Giving my administration the power needed over the legislation which will have sole rights to make constitutional changes whenever necessary.And having certain civil rights such as freedom of speech, press and association temporarily suspended until further notice. Privacy rights in relation to telephones, internet and postal communication, are revoked and the government assumes the right to intervene in any situation to restore order. The rights to use military force, passes from the Congress of the Union, to the President. Taking any refusal as a statement of opposition that will be subdued as soon as possible.Although many view my proposition as a sign of power hunger, with no alternative and the promise of peace, the Mexican Senate is forced to pass La Ley de habilitación de México. Now with the support of the government secured and the military mobilized, we prepare to do what no President has successfully done before, go on the offensive.Using the full military strength of the nation against the savage drug cartels, we launch offensive operations on locations where cartel activity is most prevalent, while ensuring that the offensive is contained as much as possible. Clearing the areas and liberating the citizens that had lived in fear for so long. Pushing the cartels out of populated areas into isolated locations, and unleashing hails of rocket, artillery and armor upon them. Utilizing any/all means possible to stay one step ahead of our enemies; from the use of tactical drones, to civilian aid, to spy rings operating within the cartels. Any/all cartel members and sympathizers that are captured are placed in prison or are executed on the spot depending on the severity of their crimes, captured cartel leaders are extracted of all useful information through interrogation and are then executed and discarded. Eventually several groups discover our spies within their ranks leading to their deaths. At the same time, this leads to the leaders becoming more and more paranoid, believing that even their most trusted colleagues could potentially be informers leading to infighting between cartel factions. With their leaders busy killing each other and the factions in disarray, this in turn allows Mexican forces to mop up enemy resistance and liberate cartel controlled regions much more efficiently, despite great destruction of property and high casualties.After months of heavy fighting, the drug cartels are either eliminated or forced to flee. With the capture of many drug lords, the government is able to acquire access to their vast amounts of wealth, which is immediately seized in order to fund public works programs, the economy and other government projects. Meanwhile, vast amounts of captured drugs are destroyed, while captured weapons are taken apart for thorough examination. Following their capture, all former cartel members including an extradited Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, are stripped of all their assets and are later tried for crimes against the state, and executed. With the Drug War in Mexico officially over, we are then faced with the monumental task of rebuilding the lands devastated by our nationwide offensive. This is now the time to rebuild Mexico bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. From here, my focus after assuring that Mexico truly becomes sovereign is the economy.Implementing a system I refer to as “industrial democracy”, in which ownership of large businesses and companies are redistributed to the employees, making out of every worker a stakeholder and partial owner that can elect or be elected to a board of directors who will supervise the industry. Believing this will solve and bridge the divide between enterprising Capitalists and unionizing Socialists, to create a better of both sides. Stating that the added responsibility and also capability will serve as incentive for workers to want to work harder and make what is now their financial asset prosper. Also ordering for absentee shareholding to be penalized, having these shares seized back but paid off at a reduction.Another policy I advocate for is one in which political candidacy and government should be revolutionized; instead of people of a certain neighborhood voting from someone of their neighborhood, people from the industrial, medical or military field etc, elect representatives from their respective profession. A representative from industry, medicine, military and so on, to create an election for specialists in the nations fields of employment to serve as the new representative government.I also move to abolish income tax while raising luxury taxes and reform El Banco de México (Central Bank) to end exploitation and redistribute money back to the hands of the common citizen. All fields of business soon find themselves in a prosperous position since specialists from each from of employment now help determine the policies and contributing their voice to understanding of how every piece of the Mexican machine operates. Systematically achieving self-sufficiency by eliminating lagging facilities or practices, and implementing improvements that lead to more jobs and quality products.At first, my abolition of income tax deals a blow to the national budget, however my ideals that primarily the Mexican people require the money to purchase basic goods, further bolster this by cutting taxes on goods such as gasoline and food to cheap prices. This is further cushioned by the Mexican people utilizing the extra currency they now possess, to purchase luxury goods whose tax rates have been increased substantially.Within months, I implement policies to ease cultural tensions between native Mexicans and immigrants/minorities living within the nation. If tensions became high, repatriation and education programs are enacted to return immigrants to their countries of origin with compensation and new skill sets. Those who choose to remain are required to learn the Spanish language (if not from Latin America) and adopt Mexican culture or be settled in specially constructed ghettos or be otherwise ostracized from Mexican society.With the economy recovering at an exponential rate, I spend my first months in office consolidating power; using intimidation, eliminating all opposing political parties, banning trade unions and creating my own Secret State Police (Gestapo). Any assassination attempts or threats against me, the government or the nation a whole, are used to my advantage granting me even greater emergency powers and using them to transform Mexico into a totalitarian state, proclaiming the establishment of a new Hispanic Reich. Simultaneously, I send Diplomats to many foreign countries such as the Vatican, the United States and throughout Europe in order to ensure the recognition of the new government as well as maintaining diplomatic and economic ties intact. Passing my government off as Right-Wing Populist while keeping my National Socialist/Fascist ideals to myself, revealing them when the time is most appropriate. I also begin sending economic and financial support to other Nationalist movements around the world, such as the French Rassemblement National, the Alternative für Deutschland, and the Greek Χρυσή Αυγή (Golden Dawn) among others, allowing them to speak at much larger venues, and advising them on what major platforms they should follow in order to draw ever greater numbers of supporters to their cause.Meanwhile in Mexico, life for the average citizen is considerably better than before, the Mexican people are united and the many tensions between wealthy and poor are essentially eliminated. For the younger citizens, a youth wing of my political party is created, referred to as the “Jóvenes Coronianos”. In order for them to gain greater appreciation for their country, youth hostels are built all across the nation, enabling the youth to hike from one beautiful town to another seeing their fatherland with every effort being made to strengthen their minds and bodies. My industrial democracy system oversees great public works projects across the nation, creating new employment opportunities for the mass millions; building new bridges, dams, and roads where there are none. All while ensuring that these projects do not unnecessarily destroy the Mexican landscape or wildlife habitats and forests. Concerning the countries use of electric power, in order to transform Mexico into a greener country, the government also builds fields of solar panels, wind turbines, and utilizing techniques from Sweden, collect and burn garbage to provide heat and free electricity to millions of households across Mexico.To help the workers get cheap transportation, car manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Mitsubishi and General Motors are nationalized and instructed to produce cheap and efficient automobiles for the general public by any means possible. Also for the common people, villages of single-family homes are erected everywhere, eliminating apartments. The monthly payments are so low, that almost anyone can afford his own house.In a matter of months with very few exceptions, there are no homeless, or beggars as the government distributes food, water and other resources wherever required, lowering prices of food and setting a daily calorie intake of 2,300 calories. Crime is almost non-existent because habitual criminals are in prison or concentration camps. All this is reported in the newspapers and is known by everybody. Any social and political taboos are eliminated, and like any totalitarian government, no negative comments about the government or its leaders are permitted. Simultaneously, the Mexican music and film industries are thoroughly cleansed of any/all forms of decadence and depravity.Concerning the use and selling of firearms to the general public, unlike the old government which often confiscated the weapons of the Mexican people, new gun control laws are introduced. Inspired by the Firearms legislation of Switzerland, sales of semi-automatic (not full automatic) weapons and sidearms are permitted after passing extensive background and health checks, and purchase of special state issued licenses. For further safety, compulsory military service applies to all male Mexican citizens, with women serving voluntarily all of which pledging loyalty to the nation and its leader to always be ready to fight and if necessary die for the Hispanic Reich. With a rule of one gun per citizen, gun clubs are also opened all over the country for the use of firearms for sport.With the economy on the road to recovery, my next objective is to build up the Mexican Armed Forces. Seeing its current state, I realize that it is time for an upgrade, reorganization and a massive increase in the military budget. I launch a massive armaments program and reinstate conscription, enlisting aid from the United States and the Russian Federation to send military advisors to Mexico in order to oversee the creation and training of a new modern military, purchasing military grade weapons and equipment. As well as turning to the Republic of Chile for inspiration on new uniforms and military doctrine. Building large powerful aircraft carriers as well as air forces, naval fleets, tank and artillery divisions and equipping the new military with the latest gear and weaponry. Gradually transforming the Armed Forces of Mexico into a significantly powerful fighting force.Mexican Armed Forces at this point, are similar to these soldiers. Begin from 1:33 onwards to view training.With the nation continuing to grow, I pay a visit to the White House in Washington D.C. meeting with President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, where we discuss plans for greater economic ties; trading imported goods and raw materials in exchange for technological and military advancements. As well as improving relations between our countries signing a Treaty of Friendship, setting plans for greater military cooperation and if possible, discussing the possibility of a revision of the Treaty of Tlatelolco. Thereby granting Mexico the ability to produce weapons grade Uranium in order to develop nuclear weapons. Later taking a tour through several U.S. states attracting massive crowds of American citizens and at times, the public response is one of scorn and admiration. Taking time to visit Texas, and like any dutiful son, visit my parents. When they ask me what I do now, I respond: “Do you remember learning about Emperor Agustín de Iturbide?” they nod their heads, “Well, I’ve become a sort of Emperor.”Soon leaving Texas and continuing my tour across America. While most from the Conservative and Republican Parties view me as a hero and the leader Mexico needed, others particularly from the Liberal and Democratic Parties view me as an abuser of power and a murderer due to my bloody offensive against the former cartels. But for the most part, support is high throughout my state visit earning a great deal of respect and perhaps jealousy from President Trump.Following my visit to the U.S. I travel to South America and make a state visit to the Federative Republic of Brazil, where I meet with President Jair Bolsonaro where we discuss the possibility of forming an economic and military alliance. Both being anti-Establishment and pro-Nationalist, it is imperative that we nationalists unite in order for our respective nations to survive. President Bolsonaro agrees and signs a defense pact with Mexico, with similar meetings being arranged with other national leaders:· Argentine Republic – Mauricio Macri· Republic of Austria – Sebastian Kurz· Czech Republic - Miloš Zeman· Hungary – Viktor Orbán· Italian Republic – Matteo Salvini· Republic of Poland – Andrzej Duda· State of Japan – Shinzo Abe· Republic of Korea – Moon Jae-in· Republic of China (Taiwan) – Tsai Ing-wen· Republic of the Philippines – Rodrigo Duterte· Republic of India – Narendra ModiThe message is clear: to unite in defiance of the status quo, for the preservation of the sovereignty of our nations and the end of the United Nations Globalist agenda. Forming a highly formidable anti-Establishment bloc, while continuing to aid Nationalist leaders still striving to attain power in their countries.Within a year, the nation under my leadership as Führer of Mexico is at a similar state as the United States in terms of technology, science, standard of living etc. In its first year, my industrial democracy transforms the United Mexican States from a backwater 3rd World Country to a well-respected world power. With our nation prosperous, I seek to unite all of mainland Central America into a Greater Hispanic Reich. Sending letters to the leaders of the Central American countries from Guatemala to Panama, calling for a peaceful unification, reminiscent of the former Viceroyalty of New Spain and later the First Mexican Empire. Promising that all nations that accept will be allowed to retain their traditions and cultures and that their nations will equally share our prosperity in exchange that their citizens obey any/all Mexican laws. Due to desperation and seeking prosperity, several nations such as Guatemala, El Salvador, and Panama accept, while the remaining countries are either hesitant or decline. In spite of this, I continue to persist leading to sour relations between our countries. The three nations that accept are annexed peacefully into the Hispanic Reich to the Panama-Colombia border. In order to keep relations intact, I continue allowing the United States to use the Panama Canal as they please and order for American assets in the region to remain untouched.Eventually, worsening relations with Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua become too much to bear. As the three nations begin mobilizing their militaries, I order the Mexican military to invade and annex the remaining Central American states putting an end to hostilities between our countries. Taken by surprise and completely overpowered, the small nations stand no chance against our new and improved war machine. Immediately following this campaign, the Caribbean states of Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti and the surrounding nations become fearful of being the next target and issue Declarations of War against Mexico.I immediately respond by ordering my forces in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea to invade and occupy all nations in the area with the exception of U.S. territory. Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic are simultaneously invaded, all falling within days. Days later, Mexican Special Landing Forces invade the Greater and Lesser Antilles islands, all falling in quick succession. The Landing Forces are instructed to capture the islands to use their naval ports as bases for our submarines and warships to be able to enter the Atlantic. Engineers are also sent in to begin construction on fortified positions (if there already are, reinforce them) to establish a formidable defensive perimeter. The island of Cuba is now surrounded, I offer the Cuban government a chance to surrender and end hostilities, but President Raul Castro refuses and vows to fight until the end. The United States takes notice of our activities and to our surprise, express their support of our campaign against Cuba as they tend to view the Communist government as a thorn in their side and still harbor resentment. Operation Cuba Libre (the invasion of Cuba) is swift and brutal, our Mexican blitzkrieg quickly smashes through Cuban defenses and advances deep into Cuban territory. The going is made much easier due to the aid of anti-communist guerrillas operating throughout the island. Within two weeks, Havana is seized with major government and military leaders including Raul Castro himself either being captured or committing suicide.Once the Cuba and the Caribbean are secured, I divert a small portion of my armies to South America in particular Colombia for being the birthplace of the cartels and Venezuela in order to gain access to unlimited supplies of oil and topple their corrupt Socialist governments. Like with Cuba, the U.S. declares its support of our invasions and liberation of the people from their oppressive regimes, providing us with intelligence reports on the landscape and locations of government and military assets. Within a month, Bogota and Caracas are captured and both governments are ousted and replaced with coalition governments sympathetic to our cause.Upon my return to Mexico City, I am greeted with a Hero’s welcome. Having achieved so much for the nation, building it from the ground up bigger, better, and stronger than ever before and uniting the people behind a common cause. Support for me and my government is at an all-time high, but even with all the things I have achieved up to this point, I feel as if my duty as Head of State and Government of the Greater Hispanic Reich and my service to the international community are incomplete. I feel as though there is far more to be done, there are still many more people across the world that are in desperate need of aid and I believe we are among the only ones who can do anything. I instruct the Mexican government and our Nationalist bloc to make any/all necessary preparations to provide help to the peoples in any way, and always be ready for potential conflicts and whatever else the world can throw at us…

Because the US is full of stupid, selfish, gullible and cruel people (many whom are racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, classist shitheads) who voted for the Congressmen and presidents, and hung onto every classist word spouted by media talking heads, that launched the War on the Poor starting 40+ years ago.The (previously very large) middle class population thought there would be something in it for them if they used their votes to cut poor people’s throats. But in doing so, they became the admirals of their own destruction - which they are now realizing 40 years too late after most of the middle class fell into poverty (which is why 62% of Americans can’t scrape together $1,000 for an emergency car repair bill today).Now, we can debate how much of this was the fault of a well-orchestrated brainwashing Edward Bernays-style PR campaign designed to slowly siphon all the wealth in this nation up to the top 1%, but the fact is Americans always were stunningly selfish and cruel.These politicians promised the middle class more wealth while telling that once-sizable voting bloc that the reason they didn’t have what the rich had was because the “hard-working middle class” was being sucked dry by poor single mothers who popped out babies just for the welfare check while sitting around eating bon-bons all day, and the rest of the ‘undeserving poor’ (those who just couldn’t compete in the job market) who were sucking up too much tax dollars and consuming too many resources. [1]TRUTH: The affluent consume far more resources and leave a much bigger carbon footprint than all the poor combined - it’s not the poor who have the luxury of being able to afford basic medical care (while the better off run to the doctor for every little sniffle), let alone expensive elective procedures like plastic surgeries.It’s not the poor that use mega shittons of natural gas and electric to fuel over-priced suburban 3,500+ sq ft vinyl-sided fuckboxes where everyone gets their own master bedroom suite with an adjoining bathroom, backyard heated in-ground swimming pools, a second home that’s a beachfront vacation home, consuming jet fuel by flying to their “important” professional meetings on frequent flyer miles, while demanding sub-poverty-level priced labor to care for their kids, clean their McMansions that they’re never in, and landscape their lawns.I’ll never forget one of Reagan’s statements where he told a crowd of middle class voters that it was unfair that they had to work hard just to afford a few pounds of cheap hamburger while “some strapping, young buck on food stamps piled his shopping cart with T-bone steaks” that their taxes paid for. [2] Or how Reagan’s slashing the Medicaid budget by 18% was justified by a large middle class voting bloc because “government isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.”[3]And I’ll never forget when Rush Limbaugh took talk radio by storm, catapulting himself into wealth and fame by spewing what is now known as “hate speech” against poor welfare mothers, as well as middle and upper class women who were demanding equal access to high-paying professional careers so they too could get a slice of the economic pie (which made them “feminazis”) - and how men of every race across all socio-economic class lines lapped up his verbal sewage as if it were fois gras.I lost count of all the times that Congressmen Dick Armey and Newt Gingrich referred to our paltry welfare safety net (which was punitive and never enough to live on and get you on your feet) and equal opportunity employment laws as assaults on “freedom” by the “nanny state”; and that what we really needed to end poverty and inequality instead of Great Society programs for the poor and labor rights, was less legal rights for victims of discrimination and other abusive employment practices and less taxpayer-funded social programs for the poor and more “family values” and “personal responsibility.” They touted marriage as the best and only solution to women’s and children’s poverty rather than actual enforcement of anti-discrimination laws and a more generous welfare safety net for the disabled, the jobless/unemployable poor, and the discriminated and marginalized.Newt Gingrich was the same Congresscritter who divorced his first wife in order to marry a ‘younger model’ (who had no qualms about being a homewrecker), serving his ailing first wife with divorce papers while she was battling cancer in the hospital because she wasn’t “young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of a president. And besides, she has cancer.” [4] Of course, he later ended up trading in wife #2 for a younger, thinner, beautiful blonde replacement.Ironically, these “nanny state” programs that Gingrich and Armey and countless other Congressmen and their middle class supporters railed against were also the very things that provided social stability and economic security for the middle class by stabilizing the poor.It never dawned on those with the most privileges, freedoms, and opportunities in this country that a marriage license was no insurance against abandoment and destitution for women, and that poor women from generational poverty at the very bottom of the social heap were always viewed as liabilities and potential “gold-diggers” - even poor men didn’t want us for any commitment. And therefore as poor women, we didn’t have many, if any, reasonable marital opportunities.Society always viewed poor marginalized women as not being suited for anything except prostitution, or as temporary bed partners for men to use and then discard (whether a pregnancy resulted or not) for something to “sow their wild oats” into before “settling down” for marriage to a “proper” (read: “middle class and preferably virgin”) woman.AFDC was supposed to provide a social floor for the poor - especially for poor unmarried women so that there would be an option for economic survival outside of prostitution. (Joining a nunnery wasn’t a feasible, much less palatable, option for most poor women either.)And this country’s poorest women at the very bottom for whom college wasn’t an option (for any given number of reasons besides learning disabilities or low IQs) usually couldn’t get into any of the good-paying unionized blue-collar middle class skilled trades jobs, either. Blue-collar middle class union men screeched like scalded cats that they resented these “women’s libbers taking away men’s jobs” - but those same men didn’t want to economically support poor women through even just a stingy inadequate welfare benefit on their tax dollars, either.All of these factors were ignored by middle class voters and the dominant culture’s voices demanding the elimination of welfare, subsidized housing under Section 8, federally subsidized job training and placement programs under CETA for economically disadvantaged youth and adults, Head Start, and many other now non-existent social programs that previously enabled 80% of the poor gain a toehold onto the lowest rung of the middle class jobs ladder and eventually work their way up out of poverty and solidly into the middle of the middle class - enabling them to repay via their income taxes ever dollar in welfare aid they ever received (the term for this is “paying it forward”).AFDC also provided a social floor for upper-middle class women who were stay-at-home mothers that ended up abandoned in their middle-aged years by their “breadwinner” husband, left unable to economically fend for themselves and their children with little to no recent work history and fewer job opportunities than men to begin with - after Mr. “Family Values” Alpha Dipshit had a mid-life tantrum that ended with him hiding assets from his aggrieved wife by stashing “his” money in a Cayman Islands bank account, buying himself a Ferarri, and dumping his first family for the younger hottie at the office.An invisible group of casualties of the War on the Poor with the gutting of what social safety net we once had prior to Welfare Reform are the young upper-middle class women that are being crushed between society’s demands of them to have kids, and the demands of hostile corporate work envirnments amidst a very justifiable fear of ending up in utter destitution in their middle-aged and older years when they will be pushed out of the economy due to age discrimination - whether they can afford to retire or not.[5][6]The effects of Welfare Reform and the dismantling of what paltry social safety net system we once had were very briefly addressed during George W. Bush’s presidency when a struggling older woman stated she was exhausted from working three jobs just to try to keep herself and her family together, housed, clothed, and fed, Bush remarked how “uniquely American” this was.[7]Time after time, middle/upper-middle class cold-hearted dismissiveness and apathy towards the working poor’s plight was framed as “if you weren’t too stupid or lazy to get a college education you wouldn’t be poor and miserable and exhausted from working three or four low-wage jobs.” The consensus among a sizable segment of the American population was that poor women who died from exhaustion from struggling just to survive working three and four jobs [8] somehow got what they deserved.Just last month, a recent college graduate working as an intern, just starting his career in investment banking, died from a brain aneurysm on the job while at his desk in Chicago as a result of being literally stressed too much on the job and worked to death. [9] Did he get what he deserved, too?This is life in post-Welfare Reform America. This is what having no safety net looks like.Maybe some day the majority of Americans will connect the dots.Footnotes[1] https://www.csus.edu/indiv/c/chalmersk/econ184sp09/albeldawelfarereform.pdf[2] Innocent mistakes[3] RONALD REAGAN: "GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM"[4] US Election 2012: Newt Gingrich's ex-wife Marianne gives 'explosive' interview [5] A third of the homeless people in America are over 50.
