The contributors at Borderland Beat aim to cover newsworthy and relevant stories related to organized crime and security in Mexico. However, this means that we sometimes miss the many small footprints left by organized crime groups around the country. This article aims to cover more of these events which do not merit a full article.

Cjng raising hell & fucking with all kinds of people in most of these states that were stated 馃槀 no wonder people from chiapas are welcoming cds with open arms.
ReplyDeleteBut let the cia, and mx government keep hitting cds to weaken them for cjng so Mexico could be a complete disaster then it already is with violence, disappearances, extortions and such
Is it finally obvious that they aren’t “fighting” for anything?
DeleteLooks like a modern day genocide to me…
Anyone remember when they found that abandoned stadium full of makeshift furnaces, that the Zetas were using to burn corpses by the bus load?
They got 500peso for cheering their owm death squads
Delete8:51 he actually has a point though. Let's see whenever amlo presidency runs out let's see how next 6 years pans out . Wonder if CJNG going to keep spreading or if finally they are going to go after them
DeleteWho wants to make a bet this Natanel Cano guy ends up with a cancelled show in TJ as well… all publicity and marketing…
ReplyDeleteLizard boy never a dull day in Mexico.
DeleteMurders, kidnapping non stop.
No lizards here, guey 馃

keep mx in turmoil is probably on the cia agenda but you’d think the US gov would want mx to thrive in order to take chinas spot as a manufacturing hub for world markets.
ReplyDeleteWhy on earth would the US want it's biggest trading partner, a nation it shares a massive border with, in turmoil? I hear this all the time from Mexico truthers. Makes zero sense.
Delete@937 Destabilization (chaos and genocide) will lead to "gentrification" thus a "New Mexico" will be built..
DeleteJust look at the cities in the US that were once complete shit-holes during the 70s-90s and have gradually been gentrified.
953 is high on his own supply. I know I know everything wrong in the world is because of US. Tonto
DeleteThanks to Elmo's government, everything is wrong in Mexico.
Delete11:58 its also to keep the value of the dollar higher than the peso and for canadian mining companies to keep exploiting Mexico with the destabilization of mx. They did it to gadaffi when he tried challenging the dollar and other countries in the middle east
Delete@1158 — lol what’s so hard to believe? It’s more naive than anything to think the whole situation was “natural”…
DeleteJust like a prison could shut down all the drugs and contraband if they wanted, the US (and others) could as well…
Same goes for MX taking down the cartels, they have a major fucking military that spans air to sea, along with all the help they need from the US.
They could stop all this but they don’t want to, I will not be a moron and think that they can’t…
Busted! @09:37 you are definitely an intelligence analyst at a major three letter agency
Delete@404 — Lmao El Huaso??? Paranoid-Schizophrenia is very real and quite common…
DeleteWhat year was most dangerous in chiapas? Chiapas never been that bad like other states
ReplyDeleteOddly enough and I have a good source .. A lot of blow gets pushed into and through Chiapas .. back in the Amado days my uncle who was a crooked-ass judicial in Juarez used to make monthly trips to Chiapas in his 18-wheeler packed to the rim with used “tires” 馃 .. another state that pushes a lot of dope and doesn’t make any noise is Yucat谩n word is that they go as far as executing people and taking them over to Quintana Roo to dump the bodies to keep Yucat谩n quiet .. maybe there is something about the game that all the flashy loud mouths from Sinaloa, Tj , Juarez, Laredo, Durango and specially Michoac谩n can learn from these guys.. handle yo business and keep your mouth SHUT !!
DeleteChiapas is about to get bloody as zacatuercas..
ReplyDeleteGenocide is terrible
Onother made up senseless war by the US
Population control perhaps?
I’m sure some point during the pandemic was the height and explosion of terror in the state… sucks, they went so long without being fucked with..
