Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, U.S. Warned

The headline should read: Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, and the current U.S. Administration Plans to do NOTHING (except take another vacation).

jimmy carter is laughing his ass off, I'm betting he's happier than a pig in shite that he's no longer holding the "worst" president spot.

Mexican Assassins Headed to Arizona, U.S. Warned
By The Washington Times
Published October 16, 2010
| FoxNews.com
Drug smuggling gangs in Mexico have sent well-armed assassins, or "sicarios," into Arizona to locate and kill bandits who are ambushing and stealing loads of cocaine, marijuana and heroin headed to buyers in the United States, the Department of Homeland Security has warned Arizona law enforcement authorities.

In a memo sent in May and widely circulated since, the department said: "We just received information from a proven credible confidential source who reported that a meeting was held in Puerto Penasco in which every smuggling organization who utilizes the Vekol Valley was told to attend. This included rival groups within the Guzman cartel."

Joaquín Archivaldo Guzman Loera heads what formally is known as the Sinaloa Cartel, which smuggles multi-ton loads of cocaine from Colombia through Mexico to the United States. One of the most powerful and dangerous drug gangs in Mexico, it also is known as the Guzman cartel, which has been tied to the production, smuggling and distribution of Mexican marijuana and heroin and has established transshipment outlets in the United States.

The Vekol Valley is a widely traveled drug smuggling corridor running across Interstate 8 between the Arizona towns of Casa Grande and Gila Bend, continuing north towards Phoenix. It gives drug smugglers the option of shipping their goods to California or to major cities both north and east.

The Homeland Security memo said a group of "15, very well equipped and armed sicarios complete with bullet proof vests" had been sent into the valley. It said the assassins would be disguised as "groups of 'simulated backpackers' carrying empty boxes covered with burlap into the Vekol Valley to draw out the bandits." Once identified, the memo said, "the sicarios will take out the bandits."

Interesting little dirt airstrip about 3 miles north of the 8 and west of the Vekol Valley wash.

PSM, Isn't there some acreage ~ 1/2 mile SW of that strip for sale?

Maybe it would make for a nice shooting range.

How far away is "Table Top" from the strip?
We drive by there twice a month. There's plenty of acreage available.

Unfortunately, your shooting range will shoot back.

T.T. is south of the 8. Several good OPs available. Truckers have been warned not to stop between CG and GB.

I updated the post after your response and before I found the strip.

Also, I recall the East Valley Astronomy Club are in the wash sometime during the year.

Should be interesting.

I believe you!

PSM, there appears to be a "Vekol Valley Illegal Immigration Patrol " working the area.

Check it out at http://vandal49588.blogspot.com/2010_05_16_archive.html

BTW, there appears to be several strips up around there, I presume you mean the one that doesn't look like a strip until you get up real close.

The President acts like eveyrthing is just great. Maybe he needs to meet with the people near the Sawtooth mountains who have had their homes burglarized. I think he needs to read the local news and see the hundreds of pounds of dope that seem to be seized everyday. Or the thousands and thousands of cash dollars being found in safe houses or vehicles.

Better yet. The illegal who decapitated another man in an apartment over on the east side. Instead him and Janet bury their heads in the sand and act as if nothing is happening.

That area... hell, much of this entire state... is dotted with small landing strips set up by ranchers, miners, residents in remote areas, and... well, lots of people. Couple that with many old "aux" fields from the WWII days, and there is a plethora of places to park planes.

Did anyone catch this part of the article toward the bottom of the page? Is this in reference to the 15 armed men or the interagency communications?


"This particular information proved to be inaccurate."


I have driven the 8 between CG and GB many times and it is nothing but open desert until you get near a road or town. Covering the vast amount of area that makes up that corridor is a challenge in itself going off of the known routes, let a lone the possibility of locating 15 pax bushwacking. They would need a serious resupply capability to stay in place for very long if they are moving overland on foot. With that said, I do know one of the local farm pilots saw 2 armed individuals in an obvious OP out that way not too long ago and called it in to the Border Patrol so they are out there on occasions.

I checked out that link. If you read that guys blogs(Harry L Hughes), it's quite apparent he doesn't like the Jews/mexicans or any other race. I think it's safe to say that he is a racist slash boarder line white supremacist.

And, the heavyset guy in cammies next to him is none other than supposed ex-Marine J.T. Ready... until recently a neo-Nazi in these parts, who has distanced himself of late from such groups.

(I checked. Ready WAS in the USMC. He was court-martialed twice, the second time for assault. He received a BCD in '96. He almost got to be a "master of ceremonies" in the 2006 Mesa, AZ Veterans' Day parade - due to embellishing his military record, and omitting the C-Ms and BCD. He was discovered. Through 2007 and 2008 he was a prominent local neo-Nazi. He tried to get into Republican politics. Local Rep. congressmen wanted him removed from his precinct post. He is good at getting into pictures with unsuspecting, and sometimes a bit dim-witted, politicians.)

These are the clowns the MSM, etc. try to broad-brush all who opposed "open borders"!

Here are two pictures:

I noticed the neo-nazi picture on his site.

Perhaps running around like that at night in the wash is a good way to get tagged and bagged by someone with a quality Ratheon product.
