El pueblo mexicano dysfunctional? Por supuesto, todos los paises los que son manejado por los EUA son los mismos. It’s our number one export. Even bigger than arms. Es por eso que todo el mundo necesitan armas. Let me ask you Senor Brinkley, who are the major US drug kingpins? Are we even looking for them? Or is the ‘war on drugs’ just another marketing tool for our weapons industry? Y pobre Mexico, tan lejos de Dios y tan cerca de los EUA. Esta violencia en Mexico solo es Manifest Destiny en accion.

Senor Brinkley the drug cartels have been murdering US citizens for many years now. Everyday in every city and town.

Only by good peope finding their courage and standing up can the purging bad people from the world begin. If that day comes, the violence will be much worse but toward a better end. Waiting for governments is futile.

Every where we look in the US right now, we are a country on a dangerous edge. We do not have just one major crisis, but rather, many. We do not trust our government, or the priorities it gives to the classes of people. There almost seems to be a sense of contagious insanity happening thruout the world. If people cannot govern themselves as individuals, the government is weak. The government is a ‘thing’, our bottom line is what is happening to the goodness of the people, and what will it take to care again.

War on American Soil

Earlier this year, the Chief of Police of a small town was murdered after only one day on the job. After the attack, the town’s twenty officer contingent resigned out of fear.

The highest ranking law enforcement officer in the country was murdered in his own home. The week prior, a director of organized criminal investigations was shot in the head, murdered by two men.

On August 13, 2008, paramilitary terrorists invaded a drug rehab, dragged several patients outside and murdered them.

Since President’s election in December 2006, more than 5,000 people have been killed drug wars.

Welcome to Mexico!

Violence within Mexico, historically a dysfunctional country, has escalated for years. Now this violence is crossing our border into the United States. Kidnapping for ransom is common. Our border patrol personnel are targets of snipers sitting in Mexico, knowing our people cannot cross the boarder to track them down. Mexican people are terrified. Many have moved their families to the United States for safety but the drug lords are also moving here. Earlier this year, the Department of Homeland Security revealed that three Mexican police chiefs were seeking asylum in the United States.

Mexican drug cartels now control drug distribution channels in the United States. The drug cartels have actually created partnership deals with local gangs. The fear is that Mexican drug cartel violence will also move north of the border. Our local police officers could be targeted by the cartels. Senseless, vicious murders and beheadings (a trademark of the cartels) will be common occurrences.

What happens when the drug cartels start murdering innocent Americans in the United States? What happens when Americans are kidnapped in the United States, then taken to Mexico for ransom? If Mexico cannot eradicate the cartels, the cartel violence will spread along the U.S. Border States.

We will then have a war on U.S. soil against the drug cartels. But what kind of war? Will the U.S. authorities consider the drug cartels a criminal matter or a narco-terrorist issue requiring military response? As the cartels move fluidly back and forth across the border, U.S. authority stops at the border.

What are U.S. authorities doing now to prepare for the coming invasion of violence in our Border States?

Hola Michael,

Muy interasantes todos tus reportajes ya que nos brindan un punto de vista mas real sobre lo que pasa en nuestra tierra. Este es mi primer comentario ya que no estoy de acuerdo con tu opinion. Este señor Figueroa y su papa no son “blancas palomitas.” Se han aventado buenas transas tanto en Agua Prieta como en la sierra alta (Bacerac, Huachineras y Aribabi). Sigue hechandole ganas a tu chamba y camina con cuidado ya que te mueves en un medio peligroso. Saludos!!

Now, for my English-only speaking friends…I am not translating what I said above, but to recap.: This dude Figueroa is not Mother Theresa and there is a reason why his name in on someone’s to do list.
