Update: 12 Cops Killed Investigating 10 Beheadings...

Mexican police killed during hunt for headless bodies
20 Mar.`12 - Gunmen ambushed a police convoy on a rural highway near Teloloapan, killing 12 officers and wounding 11 more. The police were searching for bodies after the discovery of 10 severed heads

Gunmen ambushed and killed 12 police officers who had been sent to search for the bodies of 10 people whose severed heads were found in southern Guerrero state, authorities said on Monday. Guerrero state police spokesman Arturo Martinez said six state and six local officers were killed on Sunday night on a road leading out of the town of Teloloapan. Another 11 officers were wounded. The attack on the officers occurred as they were travelling in six patrol pickups and searching for the bodies of seven men and three women whose severed heads were dumped outside the town's slaughterhouse earlier that day, Martinez said.

The heads were left with a message threatening the La Familia drug cartel, whose home base is in neighboring Michoacan state. Teloloapan is near the area shared by both Guerrero and Michoacan states and known as Tierra Caliente for its steamy weather. The region is a violent, mountainous zone that has been used by drug traffickers to grow marijuana and opium poppies for years. It has been plagued by drug violence in recent times as drug gangs fight to control the area. Authorities say La Familia has been severely battered in the fighting.

Soldiers have been sent to the area but that has not prevented gunmen from killing priests, politicians, police chiefs, or anyone else who gets in the way. Two years ago, nine police officers were kidnapped in Teloloapan when they were investigating the death of a man in the village of El Revelado. The bodies of eight of the officers were found days later. Six had been dismembered. One was found alive. More than 47,000 people have died in drug violence nationwide since President Felipe Calderon began a crackdown on drug cartels in December 2006.

"Their arms, legs and heads were cut off,"...

7 dismembered bodies found in Mexico
March 27,`12 (UPI) -- Mexican authorities said they found the torsos of seven unidentified men in an abandoned vehicle near a military base.

Police found the dismembered bodies Monday about a block away from the Mexican army base east of downtown Nuevo Laredo, the Laredo (Texas) Morning Times reported Monday. "Their arms, legs and heads were cut off," a government official whose name was not reported told the Times.

Soldiers found messages left by cartel bosses at the site, the source said, adding the incident could foreshadow major violence between cartels. "We cannot deny that two organizations are in the heat of battle in an attempt to take over this part of the border," the source said.

A clear and present danger...

Peru guerrillas set aside rebellion for drug money
Thursday, April 26, 2012 - Shining Path tied to Mexican cartels

A rebel army that struck fear in Peru in the 1980s has dropped its Maoist ideology and evolved into a multimillion-dollar cocaine-smuggling gang with suspected ties to Mexican drug cartels. The Peruvian government, which thought it had defeated the Shining Path guerrillas, has reopened an intense military campaign after the rebels, who once styled themselves the “army of the people,” kidnapped employees of a natural gas company. “This group should not be called the Shining Path,” said Jaime Antezana, who is considered an authority on Peruvian terrorism. “This is a family clan that is driven by money. It is purely a trafficking operation that we believe has ties to Mexican cartels.”

Peruvian President Ollanta Humala in early April prematurely declared the Shining Path “totally defeated” after the arrests of two of the group’s remaining leaders in a rain forest in north-central Peru known as the Upper Huallaga Valley. But on April 9, in a southeastern jungle area, busloads of heavily armed fighters belonging to a faction lead by Martin Quispe, known as “Comrade Gabriel,” took 40 natural gas workers hostage. The daring attack prompted a mobilization of 1,500 government agents in U.S.-owned helicopters. The hostages were freed, but six security agents were killed. Mr. Quispe appeared for the first time on television, ridiculing Mr. Humala and claiming that his guerrilla faction is operating under a new name, the “Militarized Communist Party of Peru.”

Gen. Jose Saturnino Cespedes of the Peruvian National Police told The Washington Times that Mr. Quispe’s group “has no ideological affiliation.” “They are purely a drug-trafficking organization,” he said. On April 20, Peru’s top military officials declared a major offensive to hunt down Mr. Quispe and his band of fighters. His organization controls cocaine-growing operations in the Ene and Apurimac river valleys, a thickly forested, lawless region of serpentine valleys in the country’s southeastern Amazon. A U.S. official speaking on background said the group primarily buys drugs from small-scale farmers in the region and smuggles the cocaine to international trafficking organizations. “They don’t typically operate in a top-down, corporate-like structure, as the Mexican cartels do,” he said.

Woman Decapitated In Mexico For Posting On Internet

9/24/11

"Police found a woman's decapitated body in a Mexican border city on Saturday, alongside a handwritten sign saying she was killed in retaliation for her postings on a social networking site.

The gruesome killing may be the third so far this month in which people in Nuevo Laredo were killed by a drug cartel for what they said on the internet.

Earlier this month, a man and a woman were found hanging dead from an overpass in Nuevo Laredo with a similar message threatening "this is what will happen" to internet users."


.

If you know what gets your head cut off, don't do it. What did she post? You have to be careful what you post here also because the men in black will show up at your door and free speech goes out the window.

Well until they show up at the black panthers doorstep first, I don't think many need worry about them showing up at their house, at least until they blindly uphold the law in this nation in the way that it should be...Right now they (the men in black) are bound by their refusal to do anything about known homegrown terrorist, who are operating as intimidators in a racist manor in this nation right now, while accusing or jumping all over assumptions that others are racist, and this before all the facts are in to confirm the assumptions/accusations before they were made.

This is so sad. I hope the Mexican government will try to do something about this travesty if it can. It's like they need an army trained in terrorism to deal with the situations that arise there lately.

That's about the way it makes you feel doesn't it? Of course America doesn't have the guts to win a war ever again, so it's best not to get anything started.

 

[beagle9]

All of this is because America buys drugs. End America's drug problem and you end Mexico's drug cartel problem.

And, no, I have no idea how to do that.

Random drug screening for people on government assistance, welfare and EBT is looking like a great start, where as this has been a new program that I feel will have great results down the road in many ways for America.

Yes the rich also do drugs, but the weak are first targetted when young, and ignorant to the long term effects of doing drugs down the road, and what it causes for them & this nation. where as it is that split in the road when they are young, that determins their actions as adults later on, and this is all depending on which road they choose at the split, and how good they are found to be at doing drugs and supporting illegal activities when they finally choose which way to go from there.

Mexico should implement random drug screening immediately in that country, and maybe this will close the situation down quicker than all the bullets in the world could do for it....

Ten Years After Decriminalization, Drug Abuse Down by Half in Portugal

Drug warriors often contend that drug use would skyrocket if we were to legalize or decriminalize drugs in the United States. Fortunately, we have a real-world example of the actual effects of ending the violent, expensive War on Drugs and replacing it with a system of treatment for problem users and addicts.

Ten years ago, Portugal decriminalized all drugs. One decade after this unprecedented experiment, drug abuse is down by half:

Also drug dealing is no longer profitable, So I can see why some politicians wouldn't want to Legalize it

Journalists buried as Mexicans fear for their lives...

Fear spreads as Mexican journalists are mourned
4 May,`12 – Grieving, frightened journalists remembered three slain colleagues on Friday as young and energetic members of a press corps working under terrifying conditions in a state torn by a war between Mexico's two most powerful drug cartels.

Traffic dwindled from the streets and shopping areas emptied hours after the discovery Thursday afternoon of Guillermo Luna Varela, Gabriel Huge, Esteban Rodriguez and Irasema Becerra, who had been slain, dismembered and stuffed into black plastic bags dumped into a waste canal. It was a sense of dread familiar to Veracruz, where a cartel battle for control of one of Mexico's largest ports has spawned horrors such as the slaughter of 35 people dumped on a main highway in rush-hour traffic in September.

The state is a common route for drugs and migrants coming from the south on the way up to the United States. Much of the area around its main port city on the Gulf of Mexico was controlled until last year by the Zetas, a brutal paramilitary-style cartel founded by defectors from the Mexican army special forces and known for its gruesome butchery of opponents. Last year, the Zetas' territory in Veracruz came under assault from the New Generation, a cartel based in the western state of Jalisco and allied with the powerful Sinaloa cartel, which is led by kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. Drug cartels battling for control of smuggling routes often use threats, bribes or both to demand the support of local officials, prison directors and other influential people in the cities they are fighting over. Journalists have not been spared.

"We're living in madness," a Veracruz newspaper editor told The Associated Press, speaking on condition of anonymity for his safety. He said Zetas had wanted him to publish news about the killings of Sinaloa soldiers, and the New Generation had pressured him to suppress such reports. "The Zetas talk to you and tell you not to publish something, and the New Generation talks to you and say, 'If this isn't published, I'll mess you up.' So what are we supposed to do?" He said criminal gangs even had de facto press representatives, who e-mailed complete stories for media to publish. A local television reporter said his cameramen was warned off covering a story by the cartels. He also spoke on condition of anonymity out of fear.

At least seven current and former reporters and photographers have been slain in Veracruz over the last 18 months, forcing their surviving colleagues to work under precautions reminiscent of those in a war zone. Journalists let colleagues and family know by phone when they are leaving for work and coming home. They call ahead before covering a story to see if the area is safe. Once they go, they move in groups of four or five and scan areas from the vehicle before getting out, remaining in constant contact with their newsroom. Few talk anymore with strangers, a new reticence in an area once known for its tropical warmth and welcoming attitude to tourists and other visitors.

At least 23 people killed in Mexican border city
4 May,`12 — A state official says that 23 people have been killed in an explosion of drug-cartel violence in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, with the killers hanging nine of the bodies from a bridge and leaving 14 decapitated bodies in an abandoned vehicle.

The Tamaulipas state official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to provide the information. The city across from Laredo, Texas has been torn by a war between the Zetas cartel, a group formed by former Mexican special-forces soldiers, and their former allies in the Gulf Cartel.

Fourteen mutilated bodies were found in a vehicle left in the city center last month.

Sounds like Mexico could use a new director by what we once knew as an FBI or CIA director back in the early 1930's, in which was headed up by none other than J. Edgar Hoover & his no non-sense approach type of character in which he had within himself I guess.

Murder and crime was bad (terrible and terrifying back then also), as the mafia gangs ruled back in the day's most major cities and/or states, but J. Edgar Hoover & the American people having his back, had other ideas about that being the norm for the future of America, and when implemented correctly, alot of that mess went away just as fast as it came into play back in those days.

Times have changed of course, but applications may still prove do-able in these days and times for Mexico, just as it were back then when nessesary for this nation.

Why has Mexico been subjected to this type of undermining & corruption in that nation, I mean don't they have a central Intelegency agency, FBI or the like in that nation? How has corruption of this maginitude taken over in that nation (Drugs being just one ingriedient or conponent of it as is used) ? It has to be that the local governments (mayors and such) had been first targetted as weak, and then corrupted or threatened if not killed to break down the system of law and order in a city and/or town, and then right on up to some higher levels the same,, and all in order for this type of corruption to become so huge, way out of control, and rampant in that nation now. Yes fear has been used as a corrupting tool in order to encaptulate and rule over a people for centuries now in so many places in the world, but as in everything being the same either way, the tool of fear always has two edges upon it, so it can work one way or it can be used in another way, yet all depending on who is controlling it, and what their purpose is for controlling it, does the results then end up being either bad or good in the outcome.

Fear can be used in a good way or it can be used in a bad way, such as the laws over the elected or non-elected who are rulers or ruled in many cases.

Will Mexico win the war on drugs, or will Mexico have to take drastic measures in order to get it all under control somehow, even suspending many freedoms people have for a short period of time in order to do so? I don't think they would need to do that, but they may have to all depending on the over all strategy that is needed.

Could legalizng be one of the drastic measures worth looking into by the government, in order to first try and civilize the situation, and then regulate the situation quickly as would be found within the legalizing of it all somehow ?

Sounds like Mexico has some serious thinking to do amongst certain civil members of that nation, and there is alot of thinking that will need to go on outside of the box now, in which they have since placed themselves into, and sadly within the wildwest style of internal war that is raging within that nation for economic status, as is found or gained through drugs, and the selling and/or distributing of those drugs as an economic driver over other safer more civil economic drivers.

Legalization, with stiff regulation may just be the answer for Mexico and the United States in the end.

Then the people can decide freely of what they want for their lives (i.e. go in to buy drugs legally) and what they don't want for their lives (i.e. stay out of places that sell these drugs legally), and this in freedom of, just like when people choose to go into a bar or they not choose to go into a bar and drink, yet all within a structural framework and behind new laws that would then keep it all in check & under proper survielance of.

This may stop the murderous killing, but where would it all go from there on down the road a ways ? What type of nations would we all have as a result of bringing more things on line that cause the mind to be altered in ways that deminish peoples capacity over time, in order that they are not allowed afterwards to be all that they can be mentally and/or physically, just as God had intended for us all to be in life without these mind altering drugs hindering us and/or destroying us as a result of ?
