Mis andanzas en México

by Leon Degrelle

The Cristero War began in Mexico due to the attempts of the freemasonic government of Plutarco Callas to crush and wipe out Catholicism in Mexico. Peasant militas fought against the Mexican Army to uphold the Church and their Faith. The government replied with ever increasing atrocities against the Catholic Cristeros to exterminate all opposition to the government. Leon Degrelle, a Belgian Catholic activist, who worked with Action catholique de la jeunesse belge (Belgian Catholic Youth Action) decided to travel to Mexico and see what the situation was on the ground and to document the alleged atrocities committed by the Callas government. Degrelle was, at that time, a young Walloon student and member of Action catholique de la jeunesse belge. His political ideas were based on the right of peoples to self-determination and of a united Christendom. He held this attitude throughout his life and founded the Christus Rex (Rexist) movement in Belgium. During WWII he was highly decorated and rose from private to General of the SS. However, because of this notoriety his history as a journalist and writer – and European visionary – has been largely forgotten. This is the story of his journey to Mexico, entering the countr incognito, living among the Cristeros and dodging government forces while compiling his evidence of government atrocities against the peaceful but determined peasantry fighting for their religious rights.

Ich habe die deutsche Fassung gelesen. Leon Degrelle erzählt von seinen Abenteuern in Mexiko-Stadt. Es spielt zwischen 1926 und 1929, als es zu bewaffneten Aufständen gegen die Regierung kam. Damals, als Student, wollte er die Ereignisse mit eigenen Augen sehen und sie aufschreiben. Seine Motivation für den Besuch in Mexiko ist seine Weltanschauung und sein Überzeugung vom Recht der Völker auf Selbstbestimmung. Diese Erfahrungen beeinflussten sein späteres politisches Leben als rexistischer Politiker in Belgien und später als Offizier der Waffen-SS(SS-Standartenführer).

A short account of Degrelle's trip to Mexico to gather evidence of it's war on Catholicism. He doesn't elaborate on the actual espionage as much as he describes the journey, the people he meets and the trouble with border officers. It isn't bad by any means but it was written for newsletters and such so it is short and not detailed. Mainly relevant as informing other Catholics as to what the Freemasons were doing in the Americas, as the American government helped fund this vile attack on Christianity.
