Good for them......when can I move there????

How long before DOJ files suit against Texas? Or liberal groups start calling for a boycott of Texas? Not that anyone in Texas would care. It would probably be a point of pride for most Texans if they did.

Longish article from the WSJ that discusses the problem. Background of the Zetas, discussion of direct confrontation between Mexican military units and the cartels.

At least someone got fed up on the Mexican sid eof the border.....LINK

"Nuevo Leon businessman Don Alejo Garza Tamez was killed at his ranch in Güemez, Tamaulipas, when he resisted an attack by gunmen who tried to strip him of his property.

Garza Tamez, 77 years old and originally from Allende, Nuevo León, and partner in the lumber El Salto, died at 05:00 on Sunday inside his country home after being attacked with guns of high caliber and fragmentation grenades.

Unofficial sources said that the businessman was an avid hunter, so he was in possession of a collection of weapons which he used to defend his property located 23 kilometers east of Ciudad Victoria on Linares road in the jurisdiction of Güemez.

Don Alejo had received threats from an organized crime group to force him to vacate his ranch, but instead, Don Alejo decided to stay and face the gunmen.

Although the Tamaulipas authorities did not provide any factual information, other spokesmen claimed that before Don Alejo fell dead by the hail of bullets and grenades, he managed to kill four of the sicarios who participated in the attack of his ranch.

The remains of Tamez Garza were returned to his family by Ciudad Victoria authorities, where they were eventually transferred to Monterrey."

A mexican newspaper reported that he received threats 24 hours prior to the incident, he basically told his workers to stay home the next day, and barricaded himself to stand his ground. He had little chances of winning, but at least he refused to kneel down to them and defended his property with whatever tools he had.

Mexico migrants told to form convoys

The Mexican government has advised migrants driving home from the US for the winter holidays to form convoys for their own protection inside Mexico.
They have also been asked to travel only during daylight hours.
The interior ministry said the Mexican army could provide escorts to protect convoys from attack by criminal gangs.

Mexico's northern border states are experiencing high levels of drug-related violence, making it dangerous to travel on some major highways.
Migrants returning from the US have in the past been targeted for robbery and extortion because they often bring back new cars, cash and other goods.

The interior ministry (Segob) said returning migrants should register with Programa Paisano, a government agency which protects the rights of Mexicans who travel in and out of the country.
They can also plan their routes on its website and phone free telephone lines for advice and to report any crime against them.

'Intense vigilance'
"The main recommendation to travellers is to drive by day and in groups, so we suggest they go to the offices of Programa Paisano to organise caravans to be escorted and monitored", the interior ministry said.
"For its part, the Mexican army will mount an operation of intense vigilance to provide security to people travelling on the roads".

An estimated 12 million Mexicans live in the US, and the money they send home is Mexico's second-highest source of foreign income after oil exports.
The US State Department has also warned its citizens of the danger of attack while driving in northern Mexico.

Alleged teen hit man arrested in Mexico

Published December 03, 2010

Mexico City – Mexican soldiers have captured a 14-year-old known as the "boy hit man," who was wanted in the central state of Morelos for several killings in which his victims were decapitated, the daily Reforma reported Friday.

Military officials consulted by Efe said they have reports that a person was arrested but were unaware if that individual is Edgar Jimenez Lugo, alias "El Ponchis" (The Cloak).

The daily Reforma, which published a photo of the minor being escorted by two soldiers, said Jimenez Lugo was arrested Thursday with two of his sisters at the airport in Xochitepec, Morelos.

The three were planning to travel to the northern city of Tijuana and from there to neighboring San Diego, California.

According to the daily, Jimenez Lugo is accused of working as an assassin for the South Pacific drug cartel and of "being responsible for decapitating and dismembering his victims."

Reforma said the suspect confessed to several murders while being interrogated by federal prosecutors in Morales amid heavy military security.

"I killed four people. I decapitated them. I felt terrible doing it (but) they forced me. They said if I didn't do it they were going to kill me. I only decapitated them. I never hung any bodies from bridges, never," Jimenez Lugo said, according to the newspaper.

"They kidnapped me and told me they were going to kill me," Jimenez Lugo said, adding that he planned to go to San Diego to visit his step-mother, who had sent him money for the trip.

One of his sisters arrested at the airport is accused of transporting dead bodies aboard stolen vehicles and dumping them, Reforma said.

"They had two cellular (phones). He (Jimenez Lugo) had one phone and his sister the other one. The proof of how they tortured people, how they killed them, all that, is in their cell phones," a military official told the daily.

The search for the boy began in October after soldiers arrested six suspected members of the South Pacific cartel.

One of the suspects told authorities that the bloodiest assassin in the group was Jimenez Lugo, whom soldiers had released because he was a minor, according to press accounts.

Morelos, which is close to Mexico City, has been caught up in a turf war between rival drug cartels.

Nearly 30,000 people have died in drug-related violence since President Felipe Calderon militarized the struggle against Mexico's cartels shortly after taking office in December 2006.

Many victims of the gangland violence have been found decapitated and hung from bridges, as the drug mobs seek more and more grisly ways to intimidate their rivals.

Los Angeles, Alta California - November 19, 2010 - (ACN) Texas Governor Rick Perry has suddenly gone 'loco.' He now thinks that he is the incarnation of General Sam Houston. Yesterday at a conference of the Republican Governors Association in San Diego, Alta California he said that he would support sending U.S. troops into Mexico to fight the drug cartel insurgents. Not since the fall of the Alamo and the subsequent Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836 have things been so bleak between the Republic of Mexico and the Texan anti-Mexican racists.

It is now clear that Governor Perry is utilizing the infamous Texas Rangers to instigate a fight with Mexico. Today, Captain Stacy Holland of the Texas Rangers made some inflammatory statements to the media. He said, “I never thought that we’d be in this paramilitary type of engagement. It's a war on the border.” Captain Holland is making it appear as if there is already a war between Mexicans and Texas. Captain Holland, who commands a fleet of 16 heavily armed Texas Ranger helicopters, said that he is a daily witness to numerous columns of drug cartel insurgents armed with AK-47s crossing into the USA. This is a totally fabricated lie at the most or a huge exaggeration at the least. The Texas Rangers have now launched what they refer to as a ‘counterinsurgency.’


Militant Governor of Texas preparing for war with Mexico
Governor Perry has chosen a brutal armed force to carry out his planned racist campaign against Mexico and Mexicans. The evil Texas Rangers have a notorious history going back to 1835 of murdering and lynching Mexicans. Their brutal repression of the Mexican population in early Texan history was tantamount to state-sanctioned terrorism. Although the exact number of Mexicans murdered and lynched by the Texas Rangers is unknown, historians estimate that it ran into the thousands. One case is particularly heinous. In March of 1881, a posse of Texas Rangers crossed the border into Mexico and illegally arrested Onofrio Baca on trump up charges. Mr. Baca was returned without extradition orders to the United States where he was handed over to a mob and strung up to the cross beams of the gate in the court house yard until he was dead.

The terrorizing of Mexicans by the Texas Rangers continued well into the twentieth century. On October 18, 1915 a group of Mexican insurgents derailed a train travelling towards Brownsville. The sinister Texas Rangers exacted brutal revenge. Two Mexican passengers aboard the train were shot on the spot for their supposed assistance of the raid. The Texas Rangers then decapitated eight suspected Mexican insurgents and left their headless bodies along the banks of the Rio Grande to rot.

President Barack Obama should move quickly to shut Rick Perry's mouth up. With the US already involved in two wars, it certainly can not afford another one. The US armed forces are already running on their last gallon of gas and the US economy is in the gutter. We are no longer back in 1835. It is doubtful that the modern day Texas Rangers can take on the well armed Sinaloa Cartel or the Zetas. Also, let us not forget the embarrassing General John J. Pershing's Punitive Expedition into Mexico that sought to capture the brilliant General Francisco Villa.

The best solution to the problem is for the USA to cure its huge appetite for drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin and crystal meth. There is no need to attack the supply and invade Mexico. Take care of the demand in the USA. Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush as well as Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have used these drugs and have contributed to the problem. Do not punish Mexico.


Hector Carreon is another one of their reporters. He is a former US Army veteran who has accused the US military of supplying weapons to the cartels.

They probably read about Dozer's "incursion" years ago and decided it was time for "payback"!

The "interesting" part came from the email I got it from and was in reference to the pictures calling Perry a militant.

If you follow the link there are pictures of the Texas Rangers doing their job, Perry firing a rifle being called a militant, and Perry posing with a student at the Alamo.

But if I had to pick something that was "interesting" I would chose the fact that the reporter says we need to leave the drug supply alone.
