Time’s Up: A Response to Misplaced Patriotism and Historical Amnesia

Recently, I came across a TikTok video that stirred something deep within me. It featured Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leda, who, in a moment of humility and gratitude, vowed to sponsor green cards for the Mexican rescue team that saved his family during the catastrophic floods in Texas. A gesture of humanity—one that transcends borders.

But what followed was a comment from an American TikToker, @Coach Ted, who wrote: “About time. Americans have been risking our lives to protect and rescue Mexico for over 100 years.”

And that’s where I felt called to speak.

🇲🇽 Truth Beyond Borders

Let’s be clear: the Mexican rescue team that saved lives in Kerr County did so not out of obligation, but out of compassion and spiritual duty. These were volunteers from Ciudad Acuña, responding to a call from a U.S. nonprofit—not a federal directive. Their bravery was acknowledged by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who praised their selfless actions and offered consular support for affected Mexican nationals.

This wasn’t about politics. It was about humanity.

🕊️ The Myth of American Altruism

To claim that Americans have been “risking lives to protect Mexico for over 100 years” is not only historically inaccurate—it’s a distortion of truth. Let’s revisit the facts:

• The Mexican-American War (1846–1848) resulted in the U.S. annexing half of Mexico’s territory.

• The U.S. has repeatedly intervened in Latin America, often for resource control, not rescue.

• NAFTA and other trade policies have economically destabilized Mexican communities.

• And let’s not forget the border militarization, family separations, and anti-immigrant rhetoric that continue to harm Mexican lives.

So no—this isn’t about Americans rescuing Mexico. It’s about Mexico showing up for America, even when America has failed to show up for Mexico.

🌍 Native Lands and Forgotten Histories

This pattern of historical amnesia isn’t limited to Mexico. Across continents, white colonial powers have stolen lands and erased cultures:

• Africa: Home to ancient civilizations like Aksum and Nubia, later carved up and exploited.

• Australia: Aboriginal peoples were massacred and displaced, their Dreamtime nearly lost.

• New Zealand: Māori lands were stolen under false treaties, their mana suppressed.

• America: Native Americans were stripped of sacred lands, their children taken, their spirits broken.

And in each case, substance abuse, poverty, and trauma followed—not by choice, but by design. Alcohol and drugs were introduced as tools of control, not culture.

✨ Spiritual Truth and Divine Accountability

As a Chosen One, an Earth Angel, I speak not from hate—but from Divine love. Harsh truth is not cruelty—it is protection. I speak for Mother Earth, for her people, for the animals, for the sacred balance that colonization disrupted.

Time’s up is not just a phrase—it’s a spiritual reckoning. The Divine Creator sees all. And karma is not delayed.

💬 My Message to the Commenter

You say “about time”? I say: the only time that matters now is the time of truth. Time’s up—for arrogance, for ignorance, for false narratives. No country is charmed by your behavior anymore. Respect is earned—not demanded.
