Thread: Our military is not for training Mexican cops

Our military is not for training Mexican cops

No where in Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution does it authorize our military to train Mexican police or their military nor does it authorize raping the American people for such a "necessary mission." BULL.

No where in Art. 1, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution does it authorize our military to operate in Mexican towns and cities for the big money maker: the war on drugs.

No, I am not one of those folks out there who believes highly addictive drugs like cocaine, heroin and meth should be legalized. However, I can remember when America did not have this problem with the border. Try going back prior to the illegal passage of NAFTA. Yes, there were drugs coming into the country, but nothing like we're seeing now and the violence that comes with it. Of course, if the American people didn't need a crutch everyday to get through life by doing pot, cocaine, meth and heroin, there would be no demand for all those drugs to cook their brains. Every time an American does those drugs, they support terrorism and that's a fact.

Please go and look at this slide presentation. Read it - especially the charts: http://www.americanpatrol.com/10-FEATUR ... Slides.pdf

3. (U) Train the Mexican Military: Provide effective support (equipment and training) to enable the Mexican military to effectively counter irregular threats, provide effective support to LEAs and adhere to the rule of law.

There is no such thing as the rule of law in the corrupt beyond redemption country of Mexico. Our treasury is over drawn $13.3 TRILLION dollars with the total debt in mandates that have to be paid of ONE HUNDRED NINE POINT NINE TRILLION DOLLARS.

Even if it weren't illegal under our Constitution to steal the fruits of our labor to "train the Mexican military and provide equipment", how can the Outlaw Congress justify such an expenditure when we the people are being raped in taxes and driven into a state of beggars in our own land?

You will notice on page 17 of the slide presentation even more illegal funding by the Outlaw Congress to a foreign country:

Civ-to-Mil Engagement with Mexico

Building Partnerships Border planning and knowledge exchanges

Humanitarian Assistance Personal and health protective clothing / supplies (with USAID)

HAZMAT & Fire fighting train and equip (with EPA, OFDA)

Flood warning system in Mexico (with USGS)

Projects focused on Ciudad Juarez (with US Consulate)

Urban search and rescue, earthquake planning

The government of Mexico has been a facilitator in dumping their poor across our border for decades. Thieves who steal American jobs, identities and resources along with murderers and drug dealers. Vacation in Mexico? Hold a conference in any city in Mexico? When hell freezes over. Mexico isn't guarding their own border with Belize and Guatemala. More human waves of thieves go through Mexico to get to America -- along with terrorists who find it easy to move through the region.

Go read part of Felderman's speech. http://www.americanpatrol.com/10-FEATUR ... erman.html This is what is being done in our name and it is NOT for the general welfare or safety of this republic. Our military is becoming entwined with Mexico's. Once again, just like in South America, our military is crossing a border into a foreign country to train foreign troops. This is another gigantic step towards integration of the U.S. with Mexico in furtherance of world government. Wake the hell up America and stop being so naive. Millions of Americans now know about the drive to cement the "North American Union" -- integrate Canada, the U.S. and Mexico as one region of world government. The evil doers will not stop their efforts to destroy this republic and our military are being used to facilitate our own destruction:

Government's plan to dissolve America's sovereignty http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=45131

Corsi documents shocking reason U.S. won't secure nation's borders
August 13, 2010

"Global governance" is taking shape much closer to home than most Americans realize, as Jerome Corsi proves in his New York Times best-selling book that reveals extensive government plans to promote the gradual integration of the U.S. with Mexico and Canada – the so-called "North American Union." The U.S. government's controversial – many say outrageous – unwillingness to enforce immigration laws and border security is, at least in part, a result of the plans Corsi exposes in "The Late Great USA," published by WND Books. Understanding the plan to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada, says Corsi, is "the only context in which the current immigration travesty makes sense – and it must be stopped."

I do not receive any compensation for recommending Dr. Corsi's book, but I urge you to read it. The blueprint is right in front of your face, America.

Our border with Mexico could have been sealed off decades ago at very little cost compared to what has been spent to fail. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could put a very high fence across our entire southern border with Mexico for just the cost of materials. Since our soldiers are already active duty, they draw their paycheck and so do the National Guard in the four border states. Want an electric, secure fence 15' tall, it can be done and should be done by our military and National Guard who have the skills to get it done. Environmentalists say it won't be pretty or will hurt some eco system the size of a bathroom. This isn't about pretty you useful fools. It's about our survival and if I sound angry, you bet I am. Every time I write one of these columns about illegals and now this funding to arm and train Mexican police/military, I get angrier.

Next comes the border checkpoints. Put more resources right at those checkpoints. Make sure every truck (commercial or private) coming across is searched and too damn bad if it takes longer. I don't want the junk coming out of Mexico and have refused to buy anything from Mexico (that includes any produce or fruit) since NAFTA was illegally passed. A little inconvenience at a border checkpoint? How long do you think it will take this father to stop feeling the excruciating pain of losing his daughter?

August 11, 2010. After My Daughter's Death -- A Father's View of the Immigration Debate http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2010/08/ ... nt-mexico/

"My 16-year-old daughter, Tessa, was killed by an illegal immigrant in Virginia Beach three years ago while sitting at a stop light. Her friend Ali Kunhardt, 17, also perished instantly. Beautiful girls with tons of future plans, they had just stopped at a convenience store for a pack of gum at 10 on a Friday night. I can imagine that they were giggling about something as they waited for the red light to turn green. Tessa was in the passenger seat. I'll never forget her laugh. The explosion was so loud that witnesses said it sounded like a bomb going off, hit from behind by a black Mitsubishi going more than 70 mph. They were tiny, skinny little girls stuffed somewhere in the floorboards when the police and EMT crew arrived."

While those miserable excuses for lawmakers in the Outlaw Congress fight with each other over immigration and securing the border, I ask again: how many more funerals? Will you or your child be next? It doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican. This is an American issue that involves not just innocent lives, but our very sovereignty. This human invasion is just that and should have been addressed as such after Ronald Reagan opened the flood gates back in 1986.

Putting a secure, electric fence across our southern border can't be done! That's what racist Hispanic members of Congress who want to give amnesty to 20 million ILLEGAL aliens will chant. It can be built, but we've had one gutless Outlaw Congress after another, decade after decade. If it's not the feather headed females in Congress, socialists and communists supporting illegals, it's cowards like Sen. Jeff Sessions and Rep. John Boehner who never fought to lock down our borders when Bush was president. Remember, the Republicans had control of Congress for 14 years; eight years with a Republican president. The invasion was in full force while those cowards did nothing. The Democrats have done the same since they took "power" in January 2007. They have no problem sending BILLIONs stolen from we the people to enrich countries like Pakistan, but fight for years on end over a small amount to lock down our borders. The blood of every American murdered by an illegal alien or killed due to vehicular homicide drips from their hands.

We know the Mexican cartels are sending their poison across the border to feed the insatiable demand of Americans too weak in character to buck up and be real men and women. They have to have those drugs and now the violence has spread across our border.

Cities and towns across the U.S. are now dealing with the vicious MS-13 gangs from El Salvador. Think it won't come to YOUR neighborhood? Think again.

Fighting Back http://www.alipac.us/article462.html

"The senseless violence of MS-13 has shocked the local citizens of Nassau County, so the Nassau County Executive appointed a "gang czar" to deal with the increasing gang problem.

"A seasoned, dedicated officer, the new "czar," in reality, will find it difficult to accomplish what he has been mandated to do. His department, like many across the nation, is at its lowest staffing levels in recent history, and he has been given no additional personnel or resources to combat the problem. The public was placated by the appointment, but while politicians put Band-Aids on deep cuts, the problem continues to escalate on Long Island.

"And Long Island is not alone. Nationally, police departments are dealing with the surge in violence emanating from MS-13 members.

"In Charlotte, N.C., 53 gang members were arrested as part of Operation Fed Up, which targeted MS-13 members. Officials in the medium-sized Southern city say MS-13 has been involved in at least 11 murders in the Charlotte area since 2000. And with a membership estimated at 200, MS-13 is by far Charlotte's largest gang.

"Some 400 miles north of Charlotte, the northern Virginia and southern Maryland communities around Washington, D.C., have become MS-13 turf. Local authorities estimate that there are between 5,000 and 6,000 MS-13 members in the metropolitan area.

"And where MS-13 goes, violence follows. In July 2003, an 18-year-old federal witness was stabbed to death; last May, a 16-year-old boy had his hands almost completely chopped off with a machete; and a week later a 17-year-old was shot and murdered. All three crimes were tied to MS-13 members.

"The rapid increase in MS-13 activity along the corridor between Charlotte and D.C. is simply explained by Det. Tim Jolly, a gang specialist with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The area has the nation's second highest population of Salvadoran immigrants."

If the constitutional militia were reconstituted http://www.newswithviews.com/Vieira/edwin11.htm by the state legislatures, we would not be at the mercy of this human trash. The militia would be able to assist law enforcement in getting these vicious animals out of our country.

Drug smuggling is big business, but who else is doing the smuggling besides drug cartels?

Many years ago I read a book titled, The Big White Lie: The CIA and the Cocaine/Crack Epidemic http://www.amazon.com/Big-White-Lie-Coc ... 156025064X by a former 25-year DEA Agent and best selling author of Deep Cover. It opened my eyes to the big lie about the role "our" government has played for decades regarding what the author, Michael Levine, calls the "biggest, whitest and deadliest" lie ever perpetrated on U.S. citizens by their government". To sum up the book, "Drugs are unarguably a scourge on U.S. society, with incalculable direct and indirect costs in drug-related crime, deaths and injury. Levine hopes that his book will open readers eyes to the U.S. government's questionable actions in its unsuccessful "war on drugs", and the fact that, while the U.S. government taxes Americans billions of dollars for stopping drugs, it is at the same time, flooding its own shores with them."

Oh, that's just one book. Well, try this one: Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA http://www.amazon.com/Compromised-Clint ... 1883955025



That book was published in 1994 and sold a ton of copies, yet the "mainstream" media continued to exalt a traitor like Bill Clinton. An immoral individual who sold out this country for blood and drug money. The Bush family's hands are just as dirty. The authors of the book are not some "right wing nuts." Terry Reed is a former Air Force intelligence operative who served with the most secret project of the Viet Nam War, Task Force Alpha. "This was the most sophisticated and highly classified intelligence gathering unit of that period. At the age of 21, armed with a top-secret security clearance provided by the Defense Intelligence Agency, a near-photographic memory and strong mid western values, he was entrusted with America's dirtiest secrets. As a civilian intelligence asset he later worked for the FBI and CIA on projects the law had barred these agencies from undertaking. His problems began when the CIA found he had more patriotism than it had bargained for."

"John Cummings is a former prize-winning investigative reporter at N.Y. Newsday. He co-authored the Heist, Goombata: The Improbable Rise & Fall of John Gotti and His Gang and Death Do Us Part. For over thirty years, since the Bay of Pigs, he has studied the confluence of intelligence-gathering, money laundering and drug trafficking."

That book is fully footnoted and backed up with testimony and exhibits of documents.

Let me tell those in denial because of party loyalty: There is literally billions of dollars in drug money being laundered through Wall Street banks. That's a fact. Rogue elements in "our" government for decades, and, yeah, that includes Ronnie Reagan's administration, have been involved with cocaine and heroin trafficking. Who has turned a blind eye? The U.S. Congress, decade after decade. Where there's smoke there's fire and when billions of dollars are involved, there is rot and corruption:

A Witness List for House Hearings on Volume II of the CIA's Inspector General's Report on CIA Drug Trafficking http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/c ... _list.html

Expect Closed Door Hearings in June or July, 1998

"Volume II of the CIA's Inspector General's report took Congress to the CIA's house. It showed the dead body of its admissions regarding drug trafficking lying bloody in the open doorway. If Congress serves the people it will now enter the house and look around. It will press charges and it will see that criminals are punished for their crimes. It will pass laws designed to make sure that these crimes never happen again.

"Use these 143 names as a report card to see what Congress' will really is and who it really serves. Volume II is not closed until the House Intelligence Committee holds hearings. Your calls, letters and e-mails to make those hearings complete and well covered are having a serious impact. Let's see what you can do with this.

""Bo" Abbot - Former CIA/Air America pilot who has openly admitted to having flown drugs for the Agency on CIA aircraft. Now resides is Southwest U.S.

"Elliot Abrams - Former Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American affairs. Oversaw Nicaraguan Humanitarian Assistance Office for Oliver North and delivered subsidies to firms like Setco and Frigorificos de Puntarenas which CIA Volume II admits were dealing drugs. Worked with Albert Carone who was North's, Casey's and Bush's paymaster and bagman with the Mafia...

"Russel Welch - Arkansas State Investigator who was one of the first to uncover CIA drug smuggling at the Mena airport and connections to Bill Clinton. Ruthlessly suppressed.

"William Weld - Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division under Reagan. Stalled or aborted every criminal investigation into drug trafficking connected to the CIA and the NSC."

Yeah, right. Just more conspiracy fodder. It is exactly that attitude that has allowed the illegal activities by "our" government to continue over the decades. When I became an activist two decades ago warning about the plans for a new world order, like many others, I was called a conspiracy nut. I suppose that's why Bush, Sr., called for a new world order 162 times during his presidency and now we see the term used in headlines on web sites like Drudge. Oh, heck, go back to the pre-season NFL game or off to the mall. It might not become important enough until your son or daughter gets hooked on drugs and overdoses.

After the "new" Congress opens the door for business in January 2011, the American people have to demand not only what I listed in this column, http://www.devvy.com/new_site/boots_on_ ... 80210.html but all this corruption tied to fighting the "war on terror" and the "war on drugs" has to end. It is nothing but big business destroying this country and our God-given rights. It won't happen until the American people and the state legislatures stand up and say, Hell no! we are not going to put up with this rot any longer. For the love of God, THIS is what our soldiers having been dying in Afghanistan to protect:

We Tolerate The Cultivation Of Opium Poppies - 4:42 video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_gOaPeSCME

Does anyone in his right mind actually believe our NINE YEAR invasion of a non-threatening country is going to change their culture just because Bush/Obama/Soetoro want to shove "democracy" down their throats with a cruise missile or a million tons of ordnance laced with depleted uranium? Or kicking down the doors of innocent civilians? Our military have NO business training Mexican military and no where in the U.S. Constitution does it authorize the fruits of our labor be stolen from us to pay for the program described in the slide show at the top of this column. Leaving the border wide open is the problem along with Americans who continue to buy cocaine and heroin. What they are doing is enriching drug cartels and funding the violence we now see in our country and at the border. We don't need a nation of stoned out citizens. We need a nation of patriotic Americans willing to fight for our beloved republic.

"Replicating a pattern used by the Central Intelligence Agency during the Iran-Contra scandal of the 1980s, the secret state used a network of cut-outs and legitimate businesses to transport prisoners to Agency black sites for "special handling."

"During Iran-Contra it was "guns in, drugs out." Today one might say its "drugs in, tortured prisoners out." The results however, were the same; egregious crimes and lawbreaking on a staggering scale.

"Subsequent investigations by Narco News revealed that "this particular Gulfstream II (tail number N987SA), was used between 2003 and 2005 by the CIA for at least three trips between the U.S. east coast and Guantanamo Bay, home to the infamous 'terrorist' prison camp," Bill Conroy reported.

"In addition," Conroy wrote, "the two SkyWay companies are associated with individuals who have done highly sensitive work for the Department of Defense or U.S. intelligence agencies, public records show and Narco News sources confirm."

"According to AFP, the Mexican daily El Universal said "it had obtained documents from the United States and the European Parliament which 'show that that plane flew several times to Guantanamo, Cuba, presumably to transfer terrorism suspects,'" the French newswire reported. The plane was carrying "Colombian drugs" bound for the U.S. for the "fugitive leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, Joaquin 'Chapo' Guzman," when it crashed in the Yucatan.

According to El Universal, the Federal Aviation Administration's "logbook registered that the plane had traveled between US territory and the US military base in Guantanamo," and that its last registered owner was "Clyde O'Connor in Pompano Beach, Florida."

"The Independent confirmed separately in January of this year that "Evidence points to aircraft--familiarly known as 'torture taxis'--used by the CIA to move captives seized in its kidnapping or 'extraordinary rendition' operations through Gatwick and other airports in the EU being simultaneously used for drug distribution in the Western hemisphere."

Hugh O'Shaughnessy, confirming earlier reporting by Bill Conroy and Daniel Hopsicker said that "a Gulfstream II jet aircraft N9875A identified by the British Government and the European Parliament as being involved in this traffic crashed in Mexico in September 2008 while en route from Colombia to the US with a load of more than three tons of cocaine."

Since when were our military trained in local law enforcement to train someone else?

The original Zetas were trained at Ft. Bragg.

From 12/2009
Mexico's Zetas gang buys businesses along border in move to increase legitimacy

08:57 AM CST on Monday, December 7, 2009
By ALFREDO CORCHADO / The Dallas Morning News
acorchado@dallasnews.com
NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico – The Zetas, Mexico's notoriously brutal group of paramilitary thugs, are expanding their role as bully businessmen along the Texas-Mexico border, branching out from traditional criminal enterprises such as extortion and drug trafficking and buying legitimate businesses, U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials say.

The group, which authorities say operates a weapons and drug distribution hub in North Texas, now calls itself "The Company" and has over the past year evolved from extorting businesses to owning them outright, the officials say.

"They own used-car lots on both sides of the border, restaurants, discotheques, liquor stores," said Robert GarcÃ*a, a detective with the Laredo Police Department and an expert on the Zetas. "Basically, anything anywhere that moves to and from the border, or anything and anywhere they can launder large amounts of money, the Zetas have a hand in. They even own a dog-racing track."

Aside from money laundering, the Zetas are seeking legitimacy from those they have terrorized over the years, using methods such as beheadings and burning rivals alive. Investigators and civic leaders say the Zetas are trying to position themselves to become movers and shakers, even political players, in communities where they have a major presence.

Authorities say their strongholds include Ciudad Acuña, Piedras Negras, Reynosa, Matamoros – where they were created – and Nuevo Laredo, their biggest base of operation. All five cities border Texas.

"We could see them running for mayor, even governor, in the future," said one civic leader in Nuevo Laredo, who like most people interviewed spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

Operating legitimate businesses may be the new enterprise for the Zetas, but terrorizing Mexico remains their main occupation.


Continued violence

On Friday, two gunfights between Mexican troops and gunmen left 13 people dead in suburban Monterrey, an industrial hub in the northern state of Nuevo León, bordering Texas. Officials said most of those killed were gunmen working for the Zetas, and media reports said one was a top leader of the Zetas, Ricardo Almanza Morales, or "El Gori." A bystander was among those killed.

Hours later, a group of armed men believed to be Zetas stormed a police building near Monterrey, killed two federal police officers and freed 23 prisoners, according to media reports.

Last month in GarcÃ*a, also near Monterrey, the town's new police chief, retired Brig. Gen. Juan Arturo Esparza, was gunned down in an attack by some 30 assailants believed to be members of the Zetas. Five bodyguards also were killed. Morales had been accused in that attack.

In Ciudad Juárez, more than 2,400 people have been killed in criminal violence this year, some of it attributed to the Zetas. As mercenaries for La Linea, armed enforcers of the Juárez cartel, the Zetas are helping train new recruits in clandestine camps spread across Chihuahua state, according to a senior official with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

"The Zetas, by far, remain the biggest threat to Mexican security," said another U.S. law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity. "They're extremely dangerous, sophisticated and organized."

By now, the Zetas' reputation is the stuff of legend. Among its founders were commandos trained by the U.S. and Mexican governments to work as elite soldiers in the battle against drug cartels. They deserted instead and became armed enforcers for the powerful Gulf cartel.

They have become so powerful they are now regarded as a separate cartel, even overwhelming their former employers in a recent shootout in Reynosa.

The organization, including support staff, now numbers more than 4,000, according to U.S. and Mexican intelligence sources. They operate in small cells across the country, from Cancún to Sonora, to limit their exposure and to protect their secrets.

The leadership, however, remains a tightly knit group, reputedly headed by Heriberto Lazcano and Miguel Treviño, known as El Cuarenta, or 40. Both men have hefty bounties on their heads – $5 million by the U.S. government and more than $2.5 million by the Mexican government.


New lines of work

Also worrisome for U.S. law enforcement officials are ongoing efforts by the Zetas to corrupt U.S. authorities. In Laredo, federal authorities have launched an investigation into two Laredo police officers to determine whether they were on the payroll of the Zetas.

In addition to their legitimate businesses, the Zetas continue to seek new lines of criminal work. In Nuevo Laredo, they have warned water and electricity companies not to collect fees from companies that they extort or that fall under their control, U.S. and Mexican investigators say. They have stolen gasoline from trucks of the national oil company, Pemex, and sold it to their own customers, including Texans.

"They've evolved into a number of business lines, if you will, from wholesale drug importers into Mexico, including cocaine, to traditional organized crime activity, like the American mafia: extortion, kidnapping, to stealing petroleum," said the senior DEA official. "They've evolved into a multidimensional criminal organization. They're doing all kinds of things beyond what a regular cartel will do."

They have also appear to have taken steps to guard their brand name from copycats or opportunists.

A band of kidnappers who falsely identified themselves as Zetas to collect ransoms in Nuevo Laredo landed in jail this fall. They were killed behind bars. An investigation is under way, but one municipal official said the killings were "most likely carried out on orders from the Zetas."

"The Zetas don't like their names used in vain, plus they want to tell society, 'Hey, we've changed. We're not kidnappers or extortionists. We're one of you.' " the civic leader said.


Coexisting

The U.S. law enforcement official scoffed at the notion that the Zetas had changed, insisting, "They're nothing but thugs, cold-blooded killers."

But some residents of Nuevo Laredo have come to accept that sharing a city with thugs is less bloody than trying to fight them.

"We coexist, but with zero tolerance for their crimes," said Nuevo Laredo Mayor Ramón Garza. "We don't have the manpower or the responsibility to go after them. That's the job of the federal government. So our attitude is, you do your thing, but let us take care of our city so that our city can grow, prosper and heal from the past violence."

Coexisting with the Zetas, however, carries risks.

"The Zetas as businessmen have an unfair advantage over the small guy trying to make a living by playing by the rules," said Nuevo Laredo merchant Jack Suneson. He recently opened a shop featuring artisan work in San Antonio to cater to Texans afraid to cross the border.

GarcÃ*a, the Laredo detective, had this warning: "You can only play with the snake a couple of times before it strikes you."

Thank you so much, Newmexican. This is just incredible information that really makes the blood boil at the absolute pond scum stupidity of our government. Every time I learn some shocking news like this, I wonder how much more we still don't know.

It's time to clean house in November, and I so hope Americans understand enough about what is happening in our country at the hands of our governments to choose wisely and those the traitors off our public dole, once and for all, and never let such travesties happen again.

Unbelievable. Just unfrigging believable.
