Throughout this ferocious war on drugs, we have seen many crimes against humanity. There are so many people suffering that it is impossible to cover everything. Sometimes we as correspondents concentrate so much on the big stories, the big events we know that the public (you) would be interested in, that we sometimes forget to actually concentrate on the people who are actually suffering through this day by day nightmare, which is why I have decided to cover a certain individuals story.
This person contacted me desperately asking for help, and willing to share the story with this blog. I will keep the identity anonymous, but I was asked to publish the name of the person involved. I will translate this for you guys, and I know we try to make these postings with pictures and videos, but this story requires no pictures.
This is a long story guys, so bare with me. I will translate this story word per word, and try to make it as reader friendly as I can, since sometimes when you convert Spanish to English, it doesn’t completely make sense. (Unless your name is bugss, then you have amazing grammar skills).
I will post first, the story in english, then my comment, and at the bottom I will post the entire story as it was typed, just incase you guys want to read the original.
This is Her Story...
Well my boyfriend, Alberto Ramirez Barcenas, he was living in Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, and I live in Reynosa. Every Tuesday, he would come to Reynosa to visit me, but on Tuesday 2nd of march of 2010 I called him to tell him not to come on that day, he was to show up until the following day, Wednesday 3rd of March.
He later called me at around 3:39pm to let me know that he was ok, and that he would show up on Wednesday, after confirming he was coming, he wasn’t supposed to call me anymore, but on that same day, Tuesday 2nd of march of 2010, I received a call from his phone at 9:45pm, I thought it was odd of him to call, but I answered. I pick up my phone and say, “Hello”, but nobody answers, again I repeat, “Hello?”, but still nobody answered.
I got scared because I did not know who the voice behind the phone belonged to, I started to say “hello, hello?!”, but the call dropped. I called my boyfriends phone again, but nobody answered. I called him 16 times, but still nobody answered, the phone would ring and ring but no answer. I then send him a text message to his phone, asking him what was going on, but no answer. I text and called him all night.
On Wednesday, I called his phone again, but the phone kept sending me to his inbox every time. I tried calling him all day but the call would not go through. It wasn’t until Thursday morning when I called his phone that I finally got a different outcome, his phone would not ring, but it sounded busy.
After countless times of trying to call his phone, it got to the point where it just would not ring at all, that’s when I got really worried. I was worried because I didn’t even have a number for his family, to at least call them to ask them if they knew what was going on.
Thursday afternoon I receive a call from one of his sisters, asking me if he was here in Reynosa with me because he had not showed up for work, and he had barrowed his Cousins Truck. I decided to tell her what had happened, about the voice on the phone and what he said on the radio. It wasn’t until after I told them, that I found out that his niece had seen his truck in a Caravan with the insignias of the CDG in Miguel Aleman.
After that, his sisters, his mother and his cousin all went down to the Municipal Police to report him as a missing person. The cops there where interrogating them, trying to make sure he wasn’t working with the “Guardia” (Zetas), but no, he was working as a security guard in the bridge of Miguel Aleman and Reynosa.
Since he had lost his job and couldn’t get employed anywhere, one of his cousins who had been in an accident and needed special care, hired him as a nurse. He would help him with therapies and would take care of him during the night shift.
His work schedule was from 8pm to 8am, that’s why I thought it was strange that the man behind his cell phone would say that, because he should have been at his work. After that I left to Miguel Aleman, to investigate what was happening.
Before parting for Miguel Aleman, I called a friend of mine, he works for the Mexican Military, to ask for his help. He told me that his superiors had told him that they could not intervene, that’s when I send an email to “Octava Zona Militar” sedena8zm@hotmail.com, pleading my case to them.
They answered immediately, and asked me to send them more details, but after I did, they stopped responding, so I decided to go to Central Zone of Reynosa, where I found the military.
I talked to the “Comandante” and I explained my situation, but he only told me I had to go directly to the main military headquarters here in Reynosa, or to call this number, 899-926-6633 so that they could update me on my case, but nobody answered the phone.
I decided to go to the military headquarters, but once there I wasn't allowed to go in. After that I decided to go back to Miguel Aleman, and that’s where my boyfriends family told me what had happened.
My boyfriend had left his house in the “Col. Americo Villareal, in the “Poblado Los Guerra”, in Miguel Aleman, approximately around 7 in the afternoon, since he goes into work at 8pm. He was driving his cousins truck, a 2001 grey storm ford, with Texas plates. He was wearing a square shirt, color melon with yellow, green and light blue stripes, with a khakis dress pants.
So he left his house to his job, that’s when a cousin of his saw him, at what used to be a restaurant in Don Miguel, at around 7:15pm. He was going towards his job, in the center of Miguel Aleman, so he was on time for his job.
He was doing good time, and more since the bad people and narcos of Miguel Aleman warn people not to leave their houses after 8pm, they said they didn’t want to see anyone in the streets after 8. That’s the main reason my boyfriend would leave so early to get to his job before the deadline.
My boyfriend called me on the 2nd of March, at around 9:54pm, but he left his house and his cousin saw him at around 7:15, from his house to his job, maximum turns into a 10 minute drive. He never got to his job, and between the time his cousin saw him, to the time when I got his call and heard the man on the radio, there is a big time gap.
I think that this people, the “narcos” got a hold of him, and where driving him around, when my boyfriend saw they where not going to let him go, he probably called me without them knowing so that I would know he was not coming back. This happened Tuesday the 2nd of March.
His niece saw the truck in a Caravan with CDG insignias on it, the officers had not found the truck, and his cousin did not want to give us the plates of the truck because he wanted no trouble with this people. Days went by, and I was left with no other option, but to wait..
On a Friday afternoon, I received a call from one of my boyfriend’s sisters, she told me that she had gotten a call letting her know that they had found some bodies, and she needed to go to check the bodies, see if she could identify any of the bodies as her brother.
They ran some DNA tests on his mom and sister to make sure that the DNA did not match with any of the bodies, but they had no results, because the bodies had been found in a decomposition state.
According to them, that’s how they found them. The bodies where found by the Mexican Military in a piece of land where they where going to set up camp, they saw that the land had been removed and that’s where they found them.
According to them, when they did the autopsy on the body, they had already been dead for 9 days, they could not make any DNA tests because our samples, by the time they got to the laboratory, they where no good.
His family then proceeded to try and identify the body by its belongings. His brother said he identified one of the bodies by the shirt he was wearing, he said it matched the shirt my boyfriend was wearing, so we concluded that it was him. They received the body with the coffin sealed shut, since the body was already in a decomposition state.
We buried him on the 17th of March, 2010 in Miguel Aleman.
I swore at what was supposed to be his tomb, that I would have revenge on his death, that I would find the people responsible and I would make them pay, because it was not possible that a person who never did anything wrong, could end up like that.
After that, I left back to Reynosa and I did not give up on my investigation. When I was back in Reynosa, for reasons beyond my logic, I find out that my boyfriend is not dead, he is alive and they are holding him captive.
A friend of mine helped me with this, he was investigating for me and he found out that they have kept him alive ever since. The worst part though, is that the people who are keeping him captive, have not asked for a ransom or a condition to let him free.
The only thing I know is that he is being held captive after 2 months since he disappeared, and after his whole family buried what they thought was his body. I don’t know if this people will let him go, or when, and I know that his family will think I am crazy if I tell them he is alive, but here I send this note directed to the “Cartel Del Golfo”.
If you have my boyfriend captive, please don’t hurt him, he is innocent, he is a hardworking and very much loved person. A lot of people love him because he is a very happy person, and he has never been involved in anything bad.
Please tell me what you want, or until when are you planning on letting him go. You always say that your work is against the “Zetas” not against the innocent people. If that is really true, then prove it, prove to this town that you came here to finish with the injustice being committed by the “Zetas” and give us a sample of your good will. Please contact me through this media, so you can talk directly with me and see what I can do so that you can let him go. I am under your disposition and orders. DIOSA EGIPTA, Thanks and I await your response.
She kept telling me how it is important for people to stop being afraid, how we have to show this people that we can communicate and are not afraid to speak out. She said she does not fear for her life, she only fears for her children. Just like her, everyday people who are in no way involved with the organized crime, get sucked into this situations. After all of this, Calderon is trying to tell us, "Most of the people killed in this war, are criminals"..
Are you kidding me? How can politics sit there and tell everyone that the war is under control, when we see the gunfire and deaths everyday. Mexico is at war, while Calderon is taking trips to see the CarShows.. Below is the story exactly as it was typed to me.

I pray that he makes it safe back home and this young woman finds the strength to keep her fight going until she gets her loved one back alive.
ReplyDeleteKeep the words comin' RM & BB's! The world needs to hear these sides to the story.
Heart rending.
ReplyDeleteAll the best wishes to you Senora. Hope it works out for you.
Very good my friend, I am glad you printed it, hope all turns well!
ReplyDeleteI hope, the courage that your love has endowed you with is blessed until your loved one is safe again, with you. Sadly, it is the people whom pay , HORRIBLY, for the indifference of corrupt officials throughout all history.
ReplyDeleteI find it disgusting to see Calderon casting his lying eyes upon glistening beauty while this woman lives every moment in torment.
what can we (the people out there who desperately care) do to help stop this ridiculous violence?
ReplyDeletethere is always two sides to a story. i wonder if he was truly as innocent as she says. that is a long time to keep someone captive for no good reason. these guys have a way of getting right down to it and if it was a case of mistaken identitiy, then they would have let him go after a few bruises. there is something about truth that is universal. it has a certain ring to it, and unfortunately its not ringing loud enough to the CDG. sad.
ReplyDeleteI ask myself the same question everyday..
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to realize that we live in a world, where a kilo of cocaine, is worth more than human life.
PS. Thanks alot Buggs, you and your magic.. You made this piece possible.
My personal response to...
ReplyDelete" what can we (the people out there who desperately care) do to help stop this ridiculous violence?"
Now that, time for complacency has ended, this has climaxed into all out violence and, corruption abounds in the Governments of both sides. May I suggest a few things?
#1. If you live in the U.S., STOP voting along PARTY LINES . They by definition, have an allegiance unto their party as a whole, NOT to the will of the American people nor, to any ideas that they as an individual may have had before becoming indoctrinated by their party ideology. Vote INDEPENDENT . It is the only way that the makeup of our Govt. will begin to change, to listen. It doesn't matter how many Americans want to affect change if the Dems. or Reps. don't reflect our will. An independent person CAN of course, become corrupt . However, it is our best chance at installing those whose ears are not covered, eyes are not blinded and hands are not tied. Then be involved, write or phone those representatives, relentlessly.
#2. Keep educating yourself on the issues through alternative sources such as this blog rather than exclusively by propagandist mainstream media. When you hear the truth, it unravels and reveals the lies you have heard. At times those lies come in the form of silence. " Come on Doll! Are ya gonna believe your lyin' eyes or are ya gonna believe what I tell ya?!"
#3. Don't EVER use ANY of these drugs. Not even casually, legalized or not. Whether they SHOULD be legalized or not is a whole other issue . Has the high taxation rate of cigarettes or of ANYTHING for that matter, affected the method of operation of the U.S. Government in any measurable way? Did the introduction of HUGE state lotteries "help" our schools ? Remember, it was THE major selling point to legalize state lotteries. The funds will just be siphoned off as usual by our own corrupt government to carry out its corrupt agendas.
I'm sure, there are many ways to be a part of a solution. These are a few that come to my mind immediately.
I don't completely agree with you on that.
ReplyDeleteThis cartels got tired of being stupid, and are trying to play psychological warfare here. What they do is kill people, and blame it on the other one. Do you think that all the executions with the cardboard messages and all that, do you think they're all accurate? Wouldn't it be smart if you try to incriminate your opposition and try to get the people to hate them? Like I have always said, if you control the citizens, you control the state. Have them happy, and they'll be going out of their way to help you. Unfortunately a lot of my people think that way. Right now, from reliable sources, I hear that in Tampico the CDG actually are helping the people. Close people to me who I personally know and talk to everyday, have told me that the CDG gave long weapons to the police and are doing routine check ups. The person told me that she was stopped and the CDG kindly told her to please go back home, if she wanted to drink she could do it from her house, she wouldn't want to get confused with a Zeta.
I've been told this by couple of people from Tampico, now it's not to say that all CDG members are like this either. It's impossible to completely lean towards one side because they both have faults. Yes, Zetas are responsible for a huge amount of murders, and have been so unjust to people.. Extortion, Kidnappings, Decapitations.. But what people seem to forget is, that while the Zetas where doing all that for years, where was the CDG? The CDG is a lot older than the Zetas. Where they asleep during all the injustices? No! They where sitting there counting their money and padding the Zetas on the back, "Good Job!".
Why was Ociel captured? Ociel was captured because he was flashy, and because it wasn't good for the company. Of course there was resistance, but you wouldn't want to give it away by not shooting a couple of rounds. Do you think they really couldn't get him out? Ociel went around trying to kill border patrol, and threatening ex FBI agents.. He was drawing too much attention.. Now answer me this, El Costilla, how many times have you seen him on the news? Or how many pictures can you find of this fella? Tony Tormenta got into a lot of shit as well, he was the owner of a couple of night clubs in Matamoros, and he started some shit a couple of times, and he was punished for it to. I don't know, I guess what I'm trying to say here is, that he didn't have to be guilty to be picked up by the CDG, they really don't care.. Now I'm not saying that this woman is right and he actually is alive either, I really do hope he is, but the most logical answer is usually the right one.

ReplyDeleteJust trying to help the lady out, I am not here to judge.
ReplyDeleteEl CDG has an official youtube page, maybe she can contact them there and possibly get in contact.
http://www.youtube.com/user/LanuevaFederacion
If he said he was a nurse, they probably have him in one of their sudo-hospitals, taking care of the injured, there is a large number of bullet wounds in these confrontations and the cartel guys can´t take their ¨sicarios¨ to hospitals so they have to treat them in-house. That´s if he´s lucky.
ReplyDeleteAt the end of the day all Mexican´s claim their family members are innocent, but the truth is somebody is suppling the cartel with warm bodies, and professional drugtraffickers don´t empty 3 AK47, 30 round clips into an innocent bystander. But nobody admits that they allowed their sons to join the cartels to fight in this social revolution that is in effect, under the guise of a Drug War.The poor are tired of being poor and oppressed and are willing to sell their souls to the drug cartels to live the Narco dream. Even if it only lasts a short while. And as long as you have an infinate number of pawns, the chess game can go on forever...MM38
That page is a fake. They take the videos, edit them with text and that's it. Don't get drawn into their game, if that youtube page really belonged to the CDG, then they would have been the first to air all the videos they have as uploaded.. But they didn't, they where released elsewhere first.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a fair comment MM38. That's like calling the murders the military have caused "Collateral Damage". I agree, we don't always accept our wrong doings.. But innocent people die everyday, and they might not empty 3 clips into an innocent person, but 3 military execution placed shots?
ReplyDeleteRiseM, Ok so you don´t want to call the murders of innocent civilians collateral damage, let´s call it the lesser of two evils. If the Military would not be out on the streets trying to control the cartels, there would be a higher number of innocent casualties at the hands of the traffickers controlling the general public, enforcing their territories, and aquiring wealth. By means of drug traficking innitially and then by stealing it from the upper class.
ReplyDeleteThis happened 100 years ago, and 100 years before that here in Mexico. And just like in previous revolutions, a large number of people have to die, some are innocent, some not so much.
Also crime would be as rampant as it is now but without support of Government at any level (not local, or state, or federal) because the drug gangs would have infiltraded them all and the result would be total anarchy. And the overall majority of Mexico, the lower class, would want a socialist or communist regime to come to power. Even though history has shown us that these types of governments simply do not work. And you don´t let your dumbest kids take over the family´s business just because you have more of them, you give it the one that´s most educated and has the most potential. Even if he is the minority of your brood. MM38
Who ever said that democracy and communism can't be mixed? The problem with that is that, although you are correct and I completely agree when you say that without the military, perhaps things would be worse. But the bottom line is, innocent people don't have to die, they die because of peoples greed. People who don't care, people who where raised to think that human life is expendable at ones own personal will. All throughout the history of human kind, we have been taught that "Collateral Damage" is acceptable to a certain degree, well I don't fucking agree with that, I'm sorry.. I'm sorry because if people valued life they would do everything in your power to protect it. There is nothing more valuable than a persons life. What alot of this people don't understand is, that behind every piece of meat, there are individual thoughts, feelings, ideas, loved ones and many many more things. A human life is the most fragile thing you can have, because although you may say that we have an abundancy of human life, there are no two people the same. What else can you compare to it? And i'm not preaching either, I know that sometimes the "eye for an eye" sounds really appealing. The bottom line is that I don't think that in order for one side to achieve victory, innocent lives have to be sacrificed. People die because other people don't care, it's easy for someoen to give an order that will cause the deaths of thousands of people, when you don't have to see them die. It's easy to sit in a chair and declare war on organized crime, when you don't leave your fucking house without dozens and dozens of body guards. How can they expect for Mexico to be without corruption, when police officers are charges the ammunition they shoot. Some cops even go around without bullets because they can't afford them.
ReplyDeleteMexico is not a democracy, far from it. Mexico if ran correctly, could be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, it is because of politicians greed that it is what it is today. They are filthy rich in oil production, but they don't process it. Pemex is a whole crime organization in its own.

What the people of Mexico need to do is to start arming themselves. Unfortunately, this is no longer about being afraid. YOU ARE GOING TO BE KILLED at some point or another and I've always thought that if you must go down, then go down fighting.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, the people of Mexico need to organize themselves and form their own little organization where people can run to for help. Law enforcement in Mexico can no longer be trusted. This should not be any type of official organization, but more like an underground group whose sole purpose will be to fight fire with fire.
Third, snitch. If you know someone who is involved with the drug cartel, be it CDG or Zeta's, don't do anything immediately. Find our where they live, get their license plate, and as much information as you can about that person. Take that information that the underground group who should immediately take action to get rid of the cartel one by one.
Fourth, pledge to do it for the good and not for the bad. For turning a blind eye in the past the people of Mexico have bumped into a wall that is bigger than themselves and almost bigger than the government. But all walls crumble, and the fastest way a wall will fall is if you start hacking at it from the bottom up. However, a wall will not fall if at the same time you are hacking at it you are also giving it support. So do it for the good, for the better, and for the benefit of the people of Mexico.
Lastly, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, cousins: If one of your relatives is involved with the cartel, you need to act with your conscience. While the love of a relative is good, you must act out for the innocent who have no fault in this war. Your relative/relatives is assisting in the killing, maiming, and emotional scarring of innocent people. If there is a way you can stop your relative, do it now! In my opinion, it is best that one bad person goes down than 100 or more innocent die. Usen su conscienca! Dejen de soportar el crimen organizado y dejen de suigarse por miedo, amor, o porque creen ser incompetentes encontra el crimen organizado. Al fin, si no se defienden, van a caer de todas forma si no ponen firme sus pies y empiesan a tomar control. Armensen! Defiendensen! Denuncielos! Protesten!
O que? Prefieren murir arrolliados?
