"Would some god the giftie gie us,

"Curriculum Vitae of the United States of America" is the work of an educated, independent Mexican of the middle-class. Though some of the statements are of debatable nature, on the whole, the work places the international behavior of the USA in a most unfavorable light. An important number of members of the Mexican middle-class would agree with the general thrust of this study.
Generally speaking, the Mexican upper-class, whose business interests may be linked to a good relationship with US business leaders, would wish to turn a blind eye to the record mentioned in this work.
I did not elaborate the attached study; my only intervention has been to translate the original work from Spanish, into English.

CURRICULUM VITAE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
1776 – USA declares its independence from England.
1777 – Mexico sends ships loaded with silver to support those fighting for Independence, led by George Washington, in their struggle against the British Empire.
1787 – France sends warships to assist Washington’s revolutionaries in their fight against the British fleet.
1803 – USA purchases New Orleans from Napoleon Bonaparte’s France, but takes possession of the entire Mississippi river basin.
1813 – USA invades Canada.
1817 – USA invades Florida and fights against Spanish troops.
1819 – USA signs the Adams-Onis Treaty, by which the USA, in its Article 3, renounces forever all its rights, claims and pretentions, to the Territories situated to the West and South of the Sabine River, the line which at present divides Texas from Louisiana. (In other words: USA renounces forever all claims against Mexico).
1823 – USA intervenes in the Mexican Empire and dismembers it, overthrowing Emperor Iturbide and depriving Mexico of its Central American Provinces of Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. (These were made independent of Mexico, just like 80 years later, the USA made Panama independent of Colombia, and made Guyana-Esequiba independent of Venezuela).
1823 – Having caused the disintegration of the Mexican Empire, USA proclaims the Monroe Doctrine.
1829 – USA intervenes in Mexico to overthrow Gomez Pedraza and impose Vicente Guerrero as President. (First President of Mexico to be imposed by USA.)
1831 – USA breaks up the State of Grand Colombia, and divides it into 4 separate nations.
1835 – USA invades the Mexican province of Texas; with irregular troops, USA attacks the Mexican military outpost at San Antonio, Texas, and captures the commander, Martin Perfecto de Coss, brother-in-law of Mexican general Santa Anna.
1836 – With mercenaries and irregular troops, USA attacks the Mexican Army on the outskirts of what is today Houston, and captures General Santa Anna. The province of Texas is declared an independent nation named “Republic of Texas”.

Perchance the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo of 1848 has legal value?
1848 – USA intervenes in France and attempts to impose a national official celebration for February 22, the birth date of George Washington, in order to commemorate in Europe the victory over Mexico. The monarchies of Europe oppose the measure, and in a flash, a Revolution breaks out in 1848 in all European countries, except Russia and England.
1850 – USA intervenes in Venezuela. USA and Britain sign the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty, under which Britain renounces its claims on Panama, in exchange for the USA depriving Venezuela of 160,000 square kilometers of territory of Guyana-Esequiba, which Britain annexes to British Guyana. Thus, the USA remained the only power with interest in Panama, which belonged to Colombia. To the present day, Venezuela claims the territory of which it was deprived.

The new Constitution is proclaimed by Venustiano Carranza on February 5, 1917, and the 15,000 soldiers under the command of General Pershing leave the country the next day, once there is assurance that in the future, all the petroleum fields are national property.
The present Constitution of Mexico, like that of Iraq, was called for, debated, drawn up, legislated, approved and proclaimed while the country was under foreign military occupation, which constitutes a most serious invalidation of the national will, and for which reason it is deficient in legal validity, on par with the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo

2. That the government Unions had added one million illegal votes.

2005 - USA intervenes in Mexico. USA attempts to jail Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO), in order to eliminate him from the struggle for the Presidency. The population of the Federal District (i.e. Mexico City) carries out the greatest concentration of people in the history of the Western Hemisphere. The Pentagon is alarmed and the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff , General Myers, travels to Mexico immediately and has an interview with the Secretary of Defense General Ricardo Vega, who then takes him to an interview with President Vicente Fox. General Myers asks Fox to refrain from jailing AMLO. Fox removes Brigadier General Rafael Macedo and sends him to Italy, under the shelter of the fearsome CIA Masonic Lodge "Propaganda Due". The new head of the PGR (Attorney General of the Republic) Francisco Cabeza de Vaca withdraws the charges against AMLO, and he is set free to attempt to win the Presidency in 2006.
2005 - USA intervenes in Mexico. Fox is saddled with the "ASPAN Treaty" ("Alliance for the Security and Prosperity of North America").
2006 - The number of assassination attempts, acknowledged by the CIA, on the life of Fidel Castro now numbers over 100.
2006 - USA intervenes in Mexico. USA instructs 5 Mexican state governors, who are on the payroll of the CIA, to betray their party, the PRI, and to use the electoral machine in their States to support Felipe Calderon of the PAN. Even so, AMLO is 20 points ahead of Calderon. CIA uses Ricardo García Cervantes of the PAN to frighten the First Lady, telling her that if AMLO wins the Presidency, he would jail her sons. The First Lady pressures her husband Fox to prevent the arrival of AMLO as President, and prepares Fox by making him more receptive to what President George W. Bush would request from him. Thus, on March 31, 2006, when AMLO was 20 points over Calderon, Bush Jr. travels to Cancun and has a private interview with Fox, with no assistants present, and no Press. The immediate result of this Fox-Bush interview was that - mysteriously - the next day, all polls together began to propagandize that AMLO was only 5 points above Calderon in the polls, and strengthened the campaign that "AMLO is a danger for Mexico". The recent revelations on the part of the formerly proscribed newspaper reporter Nino Canun, during a press conference hosted by AMLO, confirm the complete truth of this investigation and what has been said above.
2006 – USA intervenes in the Mexican presidential election. The nationalist AMLO is ahead in the election at 10 p.m., by 5 points. Suddenly, the CIA activates an algorithm on the computers of the “IFE” (Federal Electoral Institute) and in a few minutes Calderon receives some 2 million votes, placing him about 200,000 votes ahead of AMLO. The algorithm was incorrectly programmed and the same difference of 200,000 votes remains for several days after the counting of the votes had concluded – something that is statistically impossible. Officially, Calderon won by 200,000 votes, equivalent to one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the total.
2007 – USA intervenes in Mexico and Colombia. USA creates a Bogotá-Mexico axis whose purpose is to incorporate in a “NATO Jr.” the armies of both countries.

2007 – USA intervenes in Mexico. USA dynamites 4 gas pipelines in the states of Veracruz and Tlaxcala, in order to pressure the Mexican Government to approve the “Merida Initiative” and the new security treaty with the USA and Canada; Mexico thus goes beyond being very cooperative, to collaboration, and the security of Pemex falls to American troops disguised as mercenaries, or to Mexican military on the payroll of the CIA, to ensure an important source of financing for the Agency, through the theft of oil and gasoline of Mexico and other countries. The other important source of income for the Agency being the drug traffic.
