Great work. I like to hear the small victories against these bad guys.
ReplyDeletedear chivis due to too many factors i do not register in forums so i must say my goodbyes from here. I will miss what you bring to the table, the grandmotherly way you informed me about the plight facing Mexico first and the USA second.
ReplyDeleteI thank you with deep respect.
our fight continues and i know you will continue doing more than your share, it's in your nature.
anonymously yours
Obviously the military and naval forces are doing great work in cleaning up the mess in Mexico!!
ReplyDeleteThere is amble evidence of the military disappearing reporters, taking bribes, and being involved in the gun/drug running markets.
ReplyDeleteIf the Mexican military is doing that, they're not supposed to be...
Not only is it the military, it's the police, politicians taxi drivers. I knew of a politician that was being sponsored by the CT. It's all of who you know and give a helping hand to.

nothing from krgv yet
People are always that if mexico asks for help to destroy the narco there will be someone else to supply that need. I'm one thousand percent mexican and am absolutely tired of all this bs going on in mexico. We here in the us have enough against us and these criminals are just feeding to the stereotype. We are not criminals nor do we condone any criminal activity.. I know i speak for most of us here. If anybody else wants to keep supplying dope let them. We as mexicans have the responsibility to turn any dope dealers into the police even if they are family. Honest work honest money honest living..
ReplyDeleteLol, they throw 400 kilos at the military to pass six tons. The military reports the bust and turn it over to the general. Then it disappears just like all the good citizens that have knowledge of it or act like they do. If this author thinks the Mexican Military or for that matter, the Mexican Government is striving for law and order in Mexico, let me give him some help. The Mexican Government and the Mexican Military are the biggest cartel. The just aren't the smartest. It is ok Chris, keep banging your drum though, It's ok.
ReplyDeleteOn the Mexican side a lot of the goverment officials, the police & military are corrupt but then what about the American side?...How are thousands of kilos of Cocaine, Marijuana & Meth smuggled? Either a lot of American goverment officials, police & the DEA are on payrolls OR are incompetent!! (About the Mexican & American Politicians, CIA plus the Elite Bankers, they are dirty & without scruples)..Illegal narcotics trade is Capitalism at its crudest.
