For a change of focus of the antidrug war
México. - On the public debate formed by multiple personalities of the politics and of the information, among which we can mention to: the president from Colombia, Juan Manuel Santos; the former presidents from Mexico and Brazil Vicente Fox and Fernando Cardoso, respectively; the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, writer Misha Glenny, among others. This debate had coincidences, with diverse tones in that the current politics of war to the cartels of the drug traffic, it has not diminished the quantity of drugs in the street and the reach of these drugs they are now nearer. Becoming evident the arguments that are frank of the general director of the office of the organization of United Nations for weak for the Control of the Drugs and the Crime, Antonio Maria Costa that like mentions work argument, “the drugs are harmful for the health and they should be regulated whose position is not opposed to the decriminalization of the narcotics”.

On the contrary, he has left evidencing the casual bond among the reinforcement of the police-military persecution undertaken by the governments and the invigoration of the criminal groups dedicated to the drug traffic, and even the nexuses of complicity between some and others: it is pertinent to bring up that that exposed in the debate by Julian Assange that the cables diplomatic public facts for their organization have given light of the moral double of some powers that they impose political of combat to the drugs in third countries and at the same time they are erected in regimens accomplices and organizations that produce them and they traffic.

For a strategy change to the war
The debate was organized on Tuesday 13 of March, for Google and the British organization intelligence2, and most of the participants coincided with diverse speech shades in that the current combat politics to the drug traffic has thrown disastrous balances: the drugs are more today within reach of the population that the organizations dedicated to the move drugs around and sale of narcotics have been more powerful for four decades, and the number of bodies increases as a result of the government efforts to combat them it has multiplied for hundred of thousands.

They are taking the fight to transnational criminal organizations, but there is still a lot of work that to make, and we are anxious of continuing granting the support that they request in that fight". When being questioned by JM, he commented that the violence has continued being increased. It was not a jump tremendous this year, and he added that the trip alerts, as those emitted for Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, and “they are indicative of the problems of security along the frontier”. At the same time it considered that the strategy of decapitation of the cartels has been successful, counting that 22 of the 37 of the most wanted for drug dealers have been “taken out of the board". The general affirmed that, “in a constant way we are improving our cooperation of security with our good friends in Mexico."

The illicit money
From some place of the American senate, the general in boss of the North-Comm, talk H. Jacoby, it has considered “unacceptable” the number of bodies there been last year in Mexico because of the " war " against the drug traffic, and he has said that the detention of the bosses has not had a positive appreciable effect"… While the federal executive, Felipe Calderon this preparing the scenario, for the apprehension of the ‘Chapo’ Guzman to be impelled in some position outside of Mexico and to continue sucking of the budget like bureaucrat that it is imitating Ernesto Zedillo or Vicente Fox, giving conferences abroad as good humanist and protective of the poor. While in the northeast of Mexico new combats live glimpsing the Mexican holocaust but mainly, they increase the collective feeling of insecurity.

The illicit financial flows as percentage of the foreign debt in Mexico were increased by 15 percent in 1970 at 28.7 in 2010, with an average of 16.8 percent in the period 1970 - 2010. The abrupt increment of this index took place basically after the entrance in vigor of the NAFTA, in 1994. Accidentally, in the strategy of war of Calderon at beginnings was absent the combat to the illicit flows and the laundry of money, that is to say an aspect that should include from the beginning, or what is the same thing, before beginning to throw bullet in some dive of bad death. It seems that the fraudulent billing is the favorite method to transfer illicit capital outside of the country. The sources of the study are the smuggling (25 percent of the total) and the surcharges to import goods (75 percent). Mexico lost 398 thousand 700 million dollars due to the net illicit flows of exit, what represents 9 thousand 700 annual millions during the 41 year-old period. These data contribute to the deterioration of the economic governability.

The censorship in the social nets
It is incredible that Twitter that soon will complete six years of success, change politics, when it has played an important paper in social movements around the world, in the Arab spring, in Wall Street Occupy, the indignant ones in Madrid, in the already coarse of Mexico. In Mexico it was expected that it had an important list in the elections that they come. However, the company with main headquarters in San Francisco, California announced officially the last week of January that has acquired high technology to be able to censor the messages of its users of a country, and to leave that they are seen in the rest of the world, when it considers that its content violates the legal order of the countries where it is seen.
