1/3 = Our SOB
Since I mentioned Panama as the necessary keystone of a Suspenders to answer China's Belt, I should take note of yesterday's election in Panama. Is this a new AMLO type who could change things, or is this just another US puppet?
During his campaign, Cortizo, a US-educated former agriculture minister, vowed to clean up Panama's political scene, following a corruption scandal involving Brazilian engineering firm Odebrecht, and the Panama Papers leak of millions of documents detailing tax evasion by the world's wealthy. Other issues included rising unemployment, the education system's decline, and the state of the capital Panama City's water service and garbage collection. Panama is a strategic location for commerce in the region, anchored by the heavily trafficked Paama Canal shipping route and a recently expanded international airport. The Central American nation is one of the world's fastest-growing economies and has recently attracted increased interest from China.Won by 1/3 instead of 2/3. Focus on "corruption". US-educated. Nuff said. Also: The Sorosian recapture of Macedonia is complete. ¶ 5:39 AM
