¿ A good "Mexican"-ized version of Emmanuel Goldstein ?
I don't want to insult anyone's intelligence because we all know who Emmanuel Goldstein is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Goldstein

But the "Mexicans" have pretty much become just that in the press anyway

I trust in the worldly/cynical/hilarious minds of DU to create a perfect version of this just like "Chimpy McCokespoon" was the perfect name for George W. Bush.

Have at it.

5. Orange County is Aramchek
from Philip K Dick's post-death publication of Radio Free Albemuth (a draft of VALIS but a much different novel).

Aramchek was the Goldstein of future right wing American fascisism and was imaginary, based on the brand name on the manhole covers of the "POTUS" childhood neighborhood in Orange County, CA.
