Thread: Homes of Americans getting destroyed in Mexico

I have been watching this board and my wife is from Mexico and now a proud American. I have traveled to Mexico alot and really love the old times! If anyone can see if they have or have any information on this I would like to know. This reminds me of when people (Americans lost their homes in Baja in the 80-90's.
This is just a BB but I have followed and been in this area lots of times.

This is the first part of the thread:

from the Lan Manzanilla board posted at 5:28 PM today:

"Bulldozers are on the beach RIGHT NOW destroying palapas. They may leave the hotels so they have places to stay. No one is allowed access to the beach. I was asked by the people of El Rebalsito if anyone has a boat/panga and would be willing to go take pictures of what's happening, that would be extremely helpful. You can't land on the beach, but could get close enough to take photos. I'm in touch with a reporter who writes Mexico news for The Atlantic Monthly, The New Republic, and other publications. The media really wants pictures and the only way to get them is approaching by sea, so please, if anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated. You can post them here or post your email address and I'll get in touch with you. Thank you. "

Thanks for any info and sorry to say this is what America is becoming fast!
I have emailed Vdare before and did again to see if he has any info.

So why should they be able to own here?

If there is any racism here, it is all on Mexico

No, anyone can own outside 100 km of a beach. If you buy by the beach you have to go through a bank trust.

There is ref to Manzanilla at this link. I had friends that used to go to Manzanilla every year for the fishing. It was a beautiful and friendly place then.

Cartels dispute the area of Colima

Colima – Two simultaneous attacks on Pubic Security forces in Manzanillo prompted the Governor of the state to convene an urgent meeting of State Pubic Security Police forces.

The State Attorney General (PGJE) said that three police officers lost their lives and another was seriously wounded in the attacks which prompted an intense response of several different police agencies in this port city.

In the first attack, henchmen armed with AK-47’s and AR-15’s fired upon uniformed officers who were patrolling in the tourist zone. In that attack, two policemen fell.

In the second attack near Salahua, one policeman died and another was wounded.

After those attacks, authorities deployed checkpoints around the city in an effort to catch the henchmen.

The port (of Manzanillo) is the principal point of commerce on the Mexican Pacific coast but has been turned into a Port of Entry for massive amounts of illicit chemicals and cocaine.

The size and intense commercial activity of Manzanillo facilitates the movement of illicit cargo to the east and eventually into the United States. This has aroused the intense interests, not only of big businessmen, but of the criminal organizations and cartels who move drugs. They are fighting for control of this transportation network bringing in products from Asia and South America. This fight has cost the lives of 31 people, and wounded 22 just this year. And, this fight has caused the kidnapping of 15 innocent people, the seizure of hundreds of munitions, arms, grenades, vehicles and narco-laboratories.

Authorities are afraid that in the coming days the fight for control of this area between Los Zetas, La Familia and others will escalate.
