by Jack When it comes to depravity ISIS has nothing on these guys, they are every bit as evil and perhaps worse. They also pose a more imminent threat to US citizens, our security and even our economy. I’m talking about the Mexican drug cartels. So, why aren’t we going after them with the same zeal as ISIS terrorists? Read on and find out. . . IGUALA, Mexico – Background to Murder:
Sep 26th – There had been several student protests in recent weeks over the deteriorating conditions of their school. As a result the student protesters had become a mild nuisance to the local police. But, when 43 of them boarded a bus to stage yet one more protest, it set in motion a series of events that would end in a mass murder.
Last week-end, Oct 5th, 28 charred bodies were found in shallow graves near the area where the students went missing. Federal police speculate these are likely most of the missing students.
It was well known that most of the 22 city police officers had been corrupted by a local drug cartel and that the mayor was in their hip pocket too. In fact he was married to a woman related to the local drug king pin.
Tough-looking civilians guarded Maria Villa, the wife of the mayor at a social event. Beyond this ring of thugs protecting Mrs. Villa was protected by the police force that had long been infiltrated by the drug lord. The police knew the bus route and planned to intercept them long before they could get close to her event. Mrs. Villa was going to talk about social services to local dignitaries and she didn’t want the students to mess it up.
This was the situation that these well-meaning students were headed into and they were completely unaware of the enormous risk they were taking. They only knew they wanted to improve their schools and they thought protesting at the Villa’s event might help them get some attention and ultimately raise the money needed. However, the drug lord took that as a sign of disrespect for Mrs. Villa, so 6 of the young protesters were slaughtered in a police ambush. Another 25 were wounded as they fled. The remainder of the students went missing.
Imagine this busload of teenager pulling up to the police roadblock. Then they’re ordered out and suddenly the shooting starts! They scatter in all directions, running for their lives. And the police, well, they have a field day firing their American made M-16s at the fleeing kids, picking them off like so many animals. With each volley of shots, the teens start to fall as pink mist envelopes their bodies. Bits of flesh and bone fly as they fall down. The wounded dying are executed by a shot to the head. The lucky ones escape by running miles across the rough ground. The unlucky are either dead or taken hostage. What horrors happen next to these kidnapped teens we can only imagine.
What kind of human being could wear a police uniform, swear an oath to uphold the law and then use that power to murder unarmed, innocent children over nothing more than a protest? I can understand one crazy cop, but when many officers take part in wholesale murder there is something very wrong, something very sick going on. And it’s not just in this one place, we see this horror happening repeatedly all over Mexico. Yes, something is very wrong with Mexican society when such things can happen on such a widespread basis.
It’s now up to DNA testing to determine if any of those missing children were among the 28 dead bodies in the freshly dug shallow graves.
What would you be feeling right now if this was your child in that grave and the cops had done it?
Hold that thought as you read on and see what role our president plays in this. The police department of Iguala, all 22 members, have been taken into custody by Mexico’s federal police for interrogation. They’re trying to get to the bottom of what happened, but if past performance is any measure, chances are they won’t be getting to the bottom of anything. Some of the local police have already been released. Much of Mexico’s government is totally corrupt, thanks in large part to their massive drug trade fueled by American dollars. We can’t escape our responsibility here and we shouldn’t. Our fingers may not have been on the triggers that killed those kids, but our money paid for it and this is something you need to think about long and hard.
All drugs in Mexico are now controlled by a handful of ruthless drug-lords that have morphed into powerful regional warlords. They dominate and control through terrorism and American money. Even the highest elected State officials are at great risk, that is, if they are honest. No one is safe. High ranking Federal Police are not beyond the reach of Mexico’s organized crime cartels. Even our American consulate in Mexico has been attacked – see pic on left and below right.
We were outraged by the Benghazi incident, but we’re barely aware of the attack in Juarez in 2010. Cartel hit men shot a pregnant American consulate worker and her husband to death leaving their baby wailing in the back seat of their car. Drug hit men also killed the husband of another consular employee and wounded his two young children. In Aug. of 2012, an armored US embassy vehicle was fired on, two embassy staffers were wounded…12 federal police on the payroll of a cartel were arrested for attempted murder.
This marks the 3rd attack on the United States and our embassy people in 2 and half years. Click on the photos and see up close what our drug dollars did.
President Obama used this tragedy to take to the press podium shortly after the first attack. He really had no choice, so he denounced the “brutal murders” and vowed to “work tirelessly” with Mexican law enforcement officials to prosecute the killers. Unless golfing is his idea of working tirelessly, then this speech was just more hot air.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton provided her own hot air when she said the killings underscored the need to work with the Mexican government “to cripple the influence of trafficking organizations at work in Mexico.” Have you seen any crippling of the influence of trafficking organizations? The truth of the matter is this drug situation has only grown worse.
I get the impression that the Mexican Cartel Bosses could care less what Obama or Hillary said. They know these two politicians were just blowing smoke at the American public. After several subsequent attacks on Americans and no arrests of anyone of any significance, these two politicians suddenly quit talking about it, as if the attacks never really happened at all. I’m sure Obama and Hillary were embarrassed by it, but that’s about as far as it went. No doubt this embarrassment was [underscored] after a U.S. border patrol agent was killed by a Mexican drug smuggler using an American made firearm that was part of a large shipment of guns allowed to be smuggled into Mexico by the BATF.
As of this date, a significant number of Mexican federal police have been kidnapped, tortured and murdered, including a DEA agent lured away from a meeting by his friend, a Mexican federal drug agent who turned him over to the cartel. A Mexican army general tasked with destroying the drug operation around Cancun was barely moved in before he was kidnapped along with his driver and bodyguard. He lasted less than 3 days on the job. No one has taken his place… position is open if you are interested? The methods of torture that these Mexican narco-terrorists use equal or exceed anything ISIS has done to their captives. I wonder why they are not getting the same attention in our media? It’s hardly a secret. Headless Mexican corpses are often draped over their freeway overpasses, just so the masses will bear witness to their brutality.
Thousands of innocent citizens, including some Americans, have been kidnapped and killed by narco-terrorists, yet little is done about it. The DEA estimates that about $64 billion dollars a year is syphoned off from our pockets to line the filthy pockets of the Mexican drug lords. The human cost to our society is far worse and so it’s indirect cost in terms of broken homes, gang violence, turf wars, crime committed under the influence of illegal narcotics. Nearly 9% of our entire population is currently using illegal drugs which equals 22 million Americans age 12 and older that abuse illegal drugs. This is according to the government’s 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
J. Edgar Hoover once said whenever more than 10% of the people violate a law it is no longer enforceable. We’re coming dangerously close to his dire prediction. And remember these drugs are coming almost exclusively across the Southern border – this is a clear and present danger if there ever was one. The rise of fatal overdoses over the last 15 years is alarming.
In 2010 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported 38,329 fatal drug overdoses in the United States. That is more than double the 16,849 fatal overdoses observed in 1999. Every day over 100 Americans die from illegal drug overdoses. This exceeds the total number of people killed by guns in homicides, suicides and accidents! And look at the outcry over firearms by liberals! Even a dimwit must conclude we have our priorities wrong and you ought to be asking why?
If you somehow still think this terrorism in Mexico is not really our problem, a 2011 DEA report said that no less than seven major Mexican drug cartels are now operating in over 1000 cities across America. This includes Sacramento, Stockton, Oakland, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles and dozens of other cities.
The map shown below marks those cities affected by narco-terrorist drug trafficking. In the last 10 years a number of shootouts (and deaths) in Butte County, involved law enforcement and Mexican nationals that were directly tied to Mexican cartels. Yet on our home front President Obama’s seems fixated on Ferguson, Mo. or the death of Trayvon Martin, because of racism. One on hand he’s quick to judge and act because of his personal bias and on the other hand he’s uncharacteristically quiet about the horrific problems here because of narco-terrorism.
The great evil in Mexico is increasingly spilling across the border into America. So, don’t let Obama’s misplaced concerns lead you into a false sense of security. The terrible truth about terrorism linked to illegal drugs is staring us right in the face. Obama has a not so well hidden agenda to protecting his failed border policy while urging Congress to grant citizenship to millions of potentially new democrats that came here illegally. Bringing attention to the horrors of the drug trade would be counter-productive to his goals. Narco-terrorism is here because President Obama and previous presidents played politics instead of protecting our Southern border with the vigilance the situation demanded. This also explains why violence coming Mexico has even visited Chico recently. The situation has gone viral. So, don’t ever underestimate how serious this problem is. In very real terms, we are linked closer to those murdered children in Iguala, Mexico, than you may care to imagine.
The American people share a complicity as drug consumers and we will, and we have, paid a heavy price for our part. Now take another look at that drug map above. You may wonder, why are we not demanding our President and Congress to do something about it? This drug situation is close to being out of control.
The bottom line is, if ISIS is worthy of airstrikes, with or without Syria’s permission, why not hit the cartels where they live? (Or at the very least secure our border and stop the smugglers )
Here is some hope and change for you

Weak leadership creates a vacuum. The evidence of weakness is showing up in every bloated bureaucracy we have. From the IRS, to the CDC, to the Justice Department, to Homeland Security, to the Secret Service, to the VA, to Defense we see failure, incompetence, political activism, and sluggish, raged response…and apparently zero preparedness thinking.
We also see another cover-up attempt by the WH staff prior to the 2012 election.
The article is long and details, but worth reading from top to bottom.

Drug users in America are clueless, but who would have imagined 45 to 50 years ago, when drugs were pushed into main stream American life, that it would lead to such related evil. I mean seriously human trafficking, mass murder, kidnapping, decapitated bodies and mass graves.
I remember all the justifications. I wonder how they’d justify this…if they weren’t so clueless!

Just say no. No to the drugs. No to the cartels. No to the terrorists, rapists, kidnappers, muderers and pushers!
