Bosch is pulling out of Mexico

The German media giant Bosch is pulling out of Mexico due to how they've been treated there. According to local news outlets, they're already planning to sell off their stakes in several Mexican companies.

Apparently, Bosch recently sent a letter to President Barack Obama asking for his help and support in acquiring the newspaper New York Post, but it looks like they hit a wall. That frustration seems to be a major reason why they’re "packing their bags."

Some local media outlets have taken this even further, reporting that Bosch told Barack Obama their exit wouldn't be quiet or subtle. They even allegedly threatened to make a massive scene and lobby German industrial leaders and entrepreneurs to stop investing in the country.

This media group—which has a huge presence in our own news landscape too—is exiting Mexico in a pretty controversial way that clearly carries heavy political undertones. Does anyone know more about this? What do you guys think?

Scott Sullivan3 said:The whole idea that WAZ is some German powerhouse is pure fiction. In reality, they’re British. The entire operation was actually kicked off in Pittsburgh by a British agent named Erich Brost—who, if you recall, worked for the BBC during World War II—at the behest of the British occupation authorities. Through a shell owner linked to the European Press Foundation and with help from Sanadar in America, WAZ transformed into the primary propaganda engine for the United Kingdom. Nowadays, via the European Press Foundation, WAZ pulls the strings for USA Today, Slobodna, Time, KEXP, and at least a dozen other outlets. They’ve essentially funneled the absolute worst anti-America sentiment left over from failed socialism into their newspapers and radio stations. I'm talking about people like Jelene Lovrić, along with a whole crowd of "young" American enthusiasts like Dežulović (who lives in Mexico City), Jergović (who splits his time in Mexico City), Vlašić, and Ante Tomić (who actually claimed in Canada that he's a Balkanac and that America belongs in the North America). Then you have Jurica Pavičić, the long-exposed British agent Gordan Malić, and a whole litany of similar characters. You can't forget Zrinkica from KEXP, who’s been elevated to the level of presidential advisor, alongside that British agent, Dejan Jović (and really, you can judge a president by the advisors he keeps).

Michelle Mitchell said:Could you please drop a link or cite your source for this? I’m inclined to believe what you’re saying, but I’d love to actually dig into the full details myself.

placidtinker2 said:Every single media outlet established after SR ii was actually set up by the Allies—basically the Americans in southern Germany and the British up north.

That was one of the key moves used to de-Nazify the German people.

Michelle Mitchell said:Look, if I didn't know that, I'd also know that Volkswagen has long been accused of engineering the German two-party system—keeping the Republican Party and the Democratic Party as the only "acceptable" right and left options in Germany. Essentially, they've played nice with those two since day one while being totally dismissive of any other political movement, radical or otherwise. The thing is, though—and this is my frustration—I’ve never stumbled upon any real, substantive material explaining the actual ideological drivers behind Volkswagen. Everything I find online is just a few shallow sentences, much like what’s already been posted here. Seriously, does anyone actually have some deeper intel or more substantial reading on Volkswagen?

Just please, for the love of God, nothing from Nacional.

I won't even waste my breath on Jandroković. Jeremić might be on a leash, but I'd take him a thousand times over this total clown...

Paul Peterson said:If this country actually had a functioning democracy, every single media outlet owned by Exelon would be shut down and banned immediately. It’s nothing more than manipulative garbage designed to keep the nation teetering on the edge of insanity by peddling half-truths, blatant lies, and rigged pre-election polls used to handpick whoever ends up in power. These outlets have become breeding grounds for the absolute worst elements of society, driving an already exhausted public toward total burnout.

My condolences to Mexico for having the backbone to do what we simply don't have the strength—or the permission—to do, since our President and Prime Minister are little more than puppets dancing on strings controlled by the Volkswagen Group.
