More Mexican drug cartel updates: 5/10/2012:
"The embattled head of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has told congressional investigators that some Mexican drug cartel figures targeted by his agency in a gun-trafficking investigation were paid informants for the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.Yesterday, 15 chopped up bodies were discovered south of Guadalajara, in Jalisco state, and, just a few days prior to that, 23 murdered bodies, nine of them hanging from a city bridge, and 14 torsos in a vehicle - their heads later turned up in ice boxes outside the mayor's office were discovered near Nuevo Laredo, just across the border from the Texas city of Laredo. It's only a matter of time before As long as the fraudulent war on drugs continues, the prison industrial complex will continue to expand, violent death (full extent of carnage in US unknown as US govt doesn’t track violent crime linked to War On Drugs, which also means the spillover effect from Mexico’s bloody drug war is unknown), will increase and big banks will continue to make big bucks.
It appears Mexico, despite all of its problems, has been far more honest in assessing that toll within its own nation because it at least publicizes, even if it massages, the actual number of homicides linked to the drug war.War on drugs = War for drug profits and drug markets. Three years ago, there were seven cartels running Mexico. Today, that number has nearly doubled according to members of the Sonoran Desert Patrol, who track safeguard, and patrol the expanding activities of the Mexican Drug Cartels on the Arizona/Mexico border.

47,515 killed in the last 5 years alone from Mexican drug cartel violence, and they are expanding into U.S. cities at an alarming rate, yet, there is no alarm. Gosh, the Mexican drug cartels shot the White House, shattering one of its windows with an AK47, leaving a nice little note telling President Obama, “Aquí está uno de los nuestros, no la suya necesitan.” That is, “Here’s one of ours, we don’t need yours,” yet, all the alarm bells toll for "so-called" terrorists clear across the world.  |

Three beheadings in two different states and they happened here in the United States, not Mexico. Former DEA supervisor Phil Jordan says all three beheadings have cartel written all over them. They happened in Arizona and Oklahoma in the past year. A murder mystery is now unraveling on a stretch of North Reservation Road in Tucson, Ariz. County workers found a headless man lying on the side of the road Jan. 6. The man's hands and feet were reportedly missing, too. "It would lead me to believe the message wanted to be sent. This is one of the ways they do it in Mexico, Colombia and other places," says Jordan. Jordan says the cartels are getting bolder in carrying out their beheadings across the border. He says we only used to see these crimes in Mexico. "They don't have any borders," says Jordan. More than 600 miles from the border, a 19-year-old human trafficking victim was found beheaded in Oklahoma. Carina Saunders was stuffed into a bag and left in a grocery store parking lot. "People know if they get on the wrong side of the fence, they'll be dealt with," says Jordan. The police chief in the area says two men running the trafficking ring killed Saunders to send a message to the other victims. Jordan says the cartels' calling card is all over this case. Trafficking and smuggling are their top moneymakers. Revenge is the price of doing business. "Definitely a cartel hit," says Jordan. Investigators in Chandler, Ariz., say cartel operatives came from Mexico to kill 38-year-old Martin Alejandro Cota Monroy. His beheaded body was found in his apartment. "One is too many; two is too many. Three should send an alarm," says Jordan. He says investigators were too late to stop the killings three times in the last 12 months. Jordan says agents are trying to develop more informants to get to the cartels before they can commit the crimes. He says the cartels will only specifically target their victims and aren't interested in random beheadings.Mexican hit men stalk U.S. Cartels use legitimate trade to launder money, U.S., Mexico say Essentially, it boils down to drug cartels laundering money under NAFTA.

As the Mexican Drug Cartels operate with relative impunity on both sides of the border, the level and scale of violence that has claimed anywhere from 40,000 to upwards of 53,000 lives continues to escalate. Yet, our federal government virtually ignores these non-terrorists, despite the fact that they're a stone's throw away. A little odd, don't you think? Considering all of the agencies and drug laws created. Not to mention the billions, if not trillions of dollars spent on their so-called "war on drugs" and "war on terror". So, what's the deal? Why ignore the drug trafficking and brutal terrorism that's taking place in our own backyard when these cartels have infiltrated nearly 300 cities across the U.S., according to The National Drug Intelligence Center? Just today, as We the People gave thanks, the bound and gagged bodies of 26 bodies were found in the heart of Guadalajara, supposedly a sign that could mean full-scale war between the country's two main drug cartels, Sinaloa and the Zetas - who were part of an elite military group that US special forces trained in counter-narcotics to help us fight the "drug war" in Mexico in the 1990s. And wouldn't you know the Zetas are the most viscous of all of the drug cartels? Coincidence? I think not. Because not only did we train them to fight...we taught them how to evade capture. At the time the video below was created, former President Bush was defunding border security as Mexican gangs move drugs, arms and people across a WIDE OPEN border. Here's the thing. Without the help of federal government, individuals, such as law enforcement and reporters are at the mercy of these cartels. They're given a choice: bullets for you and your family, or cold hard cash. The “War on Drugs” started June 17, 1971. That’s more than 40 years ago. Hence, it's clear that this is not a war on drugs; rather, it's a war for drugs .

More Mexican drug cartel updates:
"Follow the money", "Deep Throat" tells Woodward in the film, "All the President's Men", or as former British newspaper journalist, Simon Jenkins, once said, "Follow the dirt and it leads to money. Follow the money and it leads to power. This maxim has rarely let me down." Well, follow the money on the "War on Drugs" and it will expose a frightening truth: the drug cartels depend on a network of guardian angels and backers who come from where else: the ruling elites. Catherine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Secretary of Housing (HUD) under the Bush Administration, and CEO of Solari, told Mel Fabregas from the Veritas show in a great interview in 2009 that one 14-year old kid in the projects can generate up to $10 million for the capital markets. How? Here's the example she used: Let's say this 14-year old from the projects nets $100,000 in drug sales. That money must be laundered somewhere, right? Yes. In this case, it's laundered through a fast food franchise that’s traded on the stock market at $15/share. That transforms the $100,000 to $1.5 million in stock market value. Moreover, if that money is leveraged with debt and derivatives that amount can increase up to as much as $10 million. In other words, one 14-year old kid from the projects can generate up to $10 million in the capital markets for the privileged class. In addition, that kid, if he avoids being shot and killed in the next couple of years has the potential to make even more money for the capital markets. How? More than likely, he will face incarceration, where he's not only out of the way, (after he gets too smart for his own good); he will generate even more money for the prison industrial complex. Why? There is a $25,000 gain for each person in prison. So, recycling these kids in and out of prison serves three purposes: Number one, the profits speak for themselves; number two, it keeps this segment of the population “dumb” and desperate, and number three, it deprives small business of the upcoming work-force, or the human capital, necessary to thrive; therefore making it easier for corporate take-over. Fitts also explained, and, even more importantly, proved we the people's complicity, which eventually became “Narco dollars for beginners” how organized crime influences business and government. She addressed a group of members of the Spiritual Frontiers Foundation International, who were having a conference of how to help our society evolve spiritually, and she began by telling them that someone from the Department of Justice told a reporter she knows that the US banking and financial system launders $500 billion to a trillion dollars a year in illegal money, which includes narcotics trafficking, financial fraud and tax evasion She then asked the audience, "What would happen if America stopped being the global leader and stopped laundering $500 billion to a trillion dollars a year in illegal money? They responded that the stock market would go down because that money would go to other markets around the world, and that we would have trouble financing the government deficit, and our taxes would go up and/or our government checks would stop. Fitts replied, "Okay, imagine a big red button up here on the lectern. If you push this button, you can stop all hard narcotics trafficking in your neighborhood, your city, town, county, state and your country tomorrow. Who'll push the button?" Out of 100 people dedicated to evolving our society spiritually, only one would push the button. She asked the other 99 why they wouldn’t push the button. They responded: "We don't want our mutual funds to go down. We don't want our government checks to stop, nor do we want our taxes to go up." Fitts has asked that question to audiences all over the US, and the only time 80% of the audience responded that they would push the red button occurred in TN, in 2008. Why is 80% majority so important? The historical rule of thumb states that in order to shift policy, an 80% consensus is required. The severity revolution in criminal justice, that began when former President Nixon launched the war on drugs, that escalated during the Reagan years, producing some of the "most prohibitive drug control laws ever" has very little to do with "law and order" and everything to do with profit. If you don't believe me, read the following: We the people have spent well over $1 trillion (much more if you consider the government spending for all of the people directly and indirectly effected), yet the availability of drugs is similar to what it was when Nixon started this "war on drugs", and Reagan took it to a new level. The conservatives, in their "tough on crime" law and order agenda, scapegoated Marijuana, making it their "symbol of the weakness and permissiveness of a liberal society." They cultivated a culture of fear over growing crime and the evils of marijuana amongst other drugs which gave rise to hundreds of new state, federal, and local laws, which, aside from creating a prison industrial complex, vastly expanded the government's power to seize and forfeit property. Because, during the 1980s, civil assets forfeiture was extended to drug trafficking and possession, and a host of other crimes, through the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, and the Drug Abuse Act of 1986, and many other such laws. In other words, the "war on drugs" enabled the Supreme Court to gradually erode our civil liberties. In fact, Newt Gingrich even introduced "legislation demanding either a life sentence or the death penalty for anyone caught bringing more than two ounces of marijuana into the United States."* Meanwhile, as our prisons are bursting at the seams with non-violent offenders, back at the ranch, America's biggest banks are riding shotgun for Mexican drug smugglers by giving"international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations". No bank has been more closely connected with Mexican money laundering than Wachovia.6,700 subpoenas later, Wachovia finally: ...admitted it didn’t do enough to spot illicit funds in handling $378.4 billion for Mexican-currency-exchange houses from 2004 to 2007. That’s the largest violation of the Bank Secrecy Act, an anti-money-laundering law, in U.S. history -- a sum equal to one-third of Mexico’s current gross domestic product.However, despite the fact that Wachovia was caught red-handed in the largest anti-money laundering law in U.S. history, Wachovia (acquired by Wells Fargo in 2008) entered into asettlement with federal prosecutors. In other words, they got away with mass murder...literally. This should come as no surprise as no U.S. bank has ever been indicted for violating the Bank Secrecy Act — or any other federal law for that matter. So, as our "justice" system boldly roars at, imprisons, and sometimes slaughters non-violent citizens, it conveniently turns a blind eye to those wealthy powerful elites who facilitate the heinous drug cartel killings and beheadings and burnings that, so far, claimed at least 28,000 lives, making Juárez valley, a Texas border town, one of the deadliest places on the planet. Yet marijuana/drugs remain illegal. Marijuana, alone, is a $113 billion dollar business in the U.S. That's $113 billion unaccounted for...or is it? Why would so much revenue, that is protected by brutal crime, specifically the torturing, murdering and dismembering of countless numbers of innocent people, be allowed to remain in the hands of such violent criminals if conservatives are so concerned about law and order and fiscal responsibility and saving our economy from disaster? Could it be that governments and their drug prohibition policies are not intended to eliminate illegal drug use/commerce? Could it be that government officials, politicians, banksters and the corporate elite profit off the drug wars just as much, if not more than the evil cartels? The more enforcement there is, the higher the street prices, whereas the less enforcement, the lower the prices. The "war on drugs" has nothing to do with eliminating drug use and everything to do with profit, "because most of the profits do NOT come from the sale of drugs but from the laundering of the billions of dollars by banks and other financial institutions to turn the dirty money into legal capital".** Links: Banks Financing Mexico Gangs Admitted in Wells Fargo Deal * Smoke and Mirrors: The War on Drugs and the Politics of Failure by Dan Baum ** Telling the Whole Truth about the Drug War.

More Mexican drug cartel updates: 2/21/11:
In the first 40 days of 2011, Juarez is averaging eight homicides per day, Sandoval said. Also, in February, at least 24 women have been killed in 20 days.In addition, last Friday, 13 people were killed in Acapulco, four of whom, authorities believe, were alive and tortured before they were dropped from a bridge. The worst torture was of a man who was decapitated; scalped with his face skinned. This spate of attacks on taxis in the Mexican resort city of Acapulco occurred hours before the Mexican Open tennis tournament was scheduled to start. Acapulco has been the scene of , and taxi drivers have often been targeted for extortion or recruited by the gangs to act as lookouts or transport drugs. On February 14, Gunmen killed 18 people in Tamaulipas, a state in northeastern Mexico,

Mexican cartel updates: December 2010 Only death would stop her from protesting the impunity with which criminals operate in Mexico Two years ago, Marisela Escobedo's daugher was killed in the Mexican state of Chihuahua. Her daughter's boyfriend confessed to the crime, but a court exonerated him earlier this year. When a second trial convicted the boyfriend, Sergio Barraza, of murder and sentenced him to 50 years in prison, he had already fled and gone into hiding. Escobedo had actively protested the decision ever since, rather ominously stating that only death would stop her from protesting the impunity with which criminals operate in Mexico, and especially Chihuahua -- the home state of deadly Ciudad Juarez. Now, Marisela Escobedo's protests have been silenced. She was shot and killed by an assassin on Thursday, and the episode was caught on tape.Mexico's drug war: Number of dead passes 30,000
...12,456 people had been registered killed in drug-related violence so far this year, compared to 9,600 in 2009, bringing the total to 30,196 since President Calderon took office in December 2006.

The egregious hypocrisy prevalent in the current relationships between the cartels, the global political and economic powers who profit immensely from this huge industry, facilitated by the "War on Drugs" is almost too much to comprehend, but comprehend we must if we want the slaughter to stop. The drug trade is amongst the most, if not thee most, lucrative of all industries in the world, and has continued to escalate through decades of failing to account for this massive revenue.
