In Photos: Police torture, Stormtroopers and the next Mexican Revolution
Coyoacan is a sleepy (at least for Mexico City), leafy and green middle class suburb in the south of Distrito Federal, home to many of the capital’s intellectuals and politicians. It is also where the National Autonomous University of Mexico, UNAM – one of the largest and most important universities in Mexico – has its biggest campus.
Strolling along one its main drags – Avenida Mexico – is some of DF’s graffiti.
The above stencil says: “They torture you at home,” and depicts a federal police officer holding his shield. The visual gag is a play
on pizza and fastfood delivery services that offer home delivery and
services: “Servicio a domicilio.”
Below, the image of a Starwars Stoomtrooper is underlined by the initials of
Mexico President Felipe Calderon’s party – Partido de Accion Nacional.
My interpretation? That the PAN, to dissenters in Mexico, signifies the new empire.
Finally, the legendary revolutionary Emiliano Zapata, a leading figure in Mexico’s 1910 Revolution, is depicted in this wall-stencil. Beneath him, it says: “We’ll see each other in 2010.”
The 1910 Revolution in Mexico overthrew the then-president and dictator Porfirio Diaz.
A hundred years earlier, the 1810 Revolution saw Mexico win independence from its conquistadors, the Spanish (that war is also known as the Mexican War of Independence).
It appears revolutions happen in Mexico every hundred years.
This image predicts the next one.

The FEDRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES and of course also CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT ALL HAVE THE SAME INSURANCE. The OBAMACARE the one they want to pass is NOT THE SAME AS WHAT CONGRESS has. THE MEDICAID INSURANCE is 100% better than the OBAMACARE INSURANCE. DO YOUR HOMEWORK you might just JOIN US. I would not wish OBAMACARE on my worst enemy.
