everything seems to be going well in the film, The Fourth World War.

until we get to talking about Mexico.

This movie was made about 3 years into the Fox government and the film goes on to say/imply that thigns are getting better in Mexico now that the PRI is gone and Fox is here. I think this part is towards the end of the film.

Just watch closely.

The social and environmental conditions in Mexico are getting worse and worse everyday.

Plan Puebla Panama is another globalization pact similar to NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO, etc. yet is not mentioned in the "Fourth World War" due to it's relatively recent appearance. This globalization pact targets Mexico south of the town of Puebla and streches through Central America to Panama..

Plan Puebla Panama is the globalization pact that attempts to drain southern Mexico of forests (bosques), water, minerals and biological diversity. The biotech corporation Grupo Pulsar is Mexico's version of Monsanto, using biopatenting as their form of intellectual property theft. International Paper and Weyerhauser are promised huge tracts of rainforestland for logging and plantation forestry by the PPP architects..

"Although the Mexican president remains the PPP's lead promoter, he is not its mastermind. Documents penned more than two years ago by planners with Mexico's then ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) provided the general framework for the PPP.

But the real force behind the PPP is not based in Mexico City, rather in Washington DC. The IDB, for instance, designed both the PPP and its South American counterpart, the South American Integration Infrastructure Initiative. Bank president Enrique Iglesias is the head of the PPP Financing Commission, while a Presidential Commission, with one representative appointed by each involved nation's president, is technically responsible for program design and implementation. The group holds regular meetings—often in Spain or other countries outside the region—and the IDB plays a key role in those discussions."

It is relevent to discuss PPP after the movie, since this is a somewhat new development..
