By Itzli.
Welcome to another round of news and gossip related to the Cártel del Golfo (CDG, Gulf Cartel). It’s been two and a half weeks since we first did this sort of article and there’s been a few things that almost made me do a new one that we’ll start off with.
For those that missed it, I did an update to the last article on March 1st to answer a question about increased violence in Ciudad Victoria. I won’t repeat all that or really do much of an update other than there have still been killings taking place and it’s being said that Cártel del Noreste is behind the increased violence. Situaciones de Riesgo (SDR) reports have been surprisingly quiet in Río Bravo; instead, the majority are taking place between Reynosa and San Fernando.
What has caught my eye is the number of police actions taking place:
March 3rd in Río Bravo- Guardia Estatal seizes weapons, marijuana, and vehicles
March 3rd in Reynosa- Army seizes methamphetamines and a stolen vehicle
March 4th in Miguel Aleman- Guardia Estatal seizes marijuana
March 4th near Linares- Fuerza Civil seized weapons
March 10th in Ciudad Mier- Army seizes weapons and an armored “monstruo” truck
March 10th in Camargo- Army seizes vehicles, an armored “monstruo” truck, and marijuana
March 10th in Ciudad Victoria- Policía Estatal seized weapons and vehicles, 3 arrested
March 10th in Matamoros- Army seizes weapons
March 11th in Río Bravo- Army seizes weapons and vehicles
March 12th San Fernando- Methamphetamines found at checkpoint near La Lomita
Another thing worth noting is clashes between cartel members and government forces. Before dawn on March 4th the Matamoros Faction of the CDG got into it with the Marina in Santa Rita, a small town in the San Fernando municipality near the coast. One cartel member was killed and eleven arrested (four of them were injured). It appears that this was a cell under Escorpión 18.
A somewhat similar event took place in ejido Paso Real, on the southwest outskirts of the city of San Fernando on March 10th, this time the Guardia Estatal was attacked and three Zetas Vieja Escuela (ZVE) cartel members were injured in the shootout.
The Broken Ceasefire
The big story revolves around the ceasefire that was reached between the Cártel del Noreste (CDN) and Los Metros CDG that was reached on February 25th. Days later more information came out, citizens who fled towns like Peña Blanca that had seen back and forth control were told they could return home safely. The dividing line between forces was presented as being Los Guerra straight south to a point just west of El Zacate and then a diagonal line to Doctor Cross before going south again to General Bravo, with the southern part being a neutral zone, although China itself appears to remain under the control of Los Metros.
March 3rd, Guardia Estatal helicopter gets shot at near Arcabuz, which would be in CDN but near the border line. Same day Los Metros forces under Leonel Artemio “El Chaparro” Bazán García clashed with Fuerza Civil in General Bravo. A day later a CDN member was arrested in China. Also on March 4th a CDN member was arrested in Doctor Coss after an attack on a Fuerza Civil and military forces traveling there to provide backup. It was said that CDN leader Juan “La Sombra” Cisneros Treviño was giving them orders via radio. On March 6th reports of at least three cartel roadblocks between China and General Bravo as well as armored vehicle movement to the northwest. If that didn’t look like enough of a powder keg, last week on March 11th the bodies of three decapitated women were left in El Zacate. I’m surprised pictures never came out as widely as it was reported. Next day someone was arrested with weapons after attacking Fuerza Civil in Los Aldamas.
You’d think with all that going on that would be the area where the ceasefire would break down but nope, a shootout took place yesterday evening outside Los Guerra and two CDN members were killed. Another clash took place in Nuevo Leon in San Bartolo, just south of Cadereyta Jiménez. So the ceasefire has been broken after lasting shorter than five Danny Divitos, I mean four weeks. The question is will this turn back into full scale war or will they somehow get past this and continue the ceasefire? In recent days it seems that they had been taking advantage of peace, with Los Metros allegedly reinforcing the CJNG in Zacatecas and CDN making moves in San Luis Potosi.
Itzli....Always uninteresting bro,thanks for the long time work you continue to do
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with Matamoros? And Los panteras? Are they still around? And Los Rojos? And La Columna. Are they truly independent now?
ReplyDeleteThere wasn't much to say about Matamoros, they're still fighting, take it for what it's worth but I did read a claim that they retook Abasolo recently. Panteras seem to be virtually non-existent after Pantera 24 got arrested, the only one of their crew I know of is Flaco and it seems like they merged with ZVE and Los Sierras in San Fernando. Rojos are very quiet, still control Tampico but very little information comes out about them. Side note though, I'll write about it eventually but heard for a while R2 is out of jail and got more information on what he's up to. Columna is another one I wish I had more information on, they are still in control of their territory doing their thing without much information coming out. There's a rumor they're working with Matamoros to keep CDN out of the middle part of Tamaulipas but I'd like to see other sources.
DeleteObtuse too. You’re thin skinned bc of your need to mention “a certain someone.” I’ll never in my life understand the hubris needed to write about a place you don’t live and claim to be a “researcher.” You’re an aggregator and there’s nothing wrong with that. You aggregate information from secondary sources (not primary). Problem is when you swerve out of your lane. The invitation is open - I’ll show you around and let you “investigate and report.” 😉
DeleteTampico is quiet bc there are agreements. La Columna is independent which doesn’t preclude cooperation on common interests.
Delete@10:15AM
DeleteNow that's an eloquent way of expressing oneself, rarely seen here, for which I salute you!
As for the invitation, I'm pretty sure that Itzli would much rather continue being aggregator than taking advantage of your generous offer.
Having an ear to the ground has somewhat ambiguous meaning.😁
10:15
DeleteHistorians don't live in the in the past, they can't for obvious reasons, but it doesn't mean their profession is invalid. Your reasoning is fallacious.
Its like all the anglos that are infatuated with the italian mafia from 20 30s to the 80s. Nothing to do with these people, and they become "experts" on things they dont know about or have lived. Like what is the reasoning? A subject that has nothing to do with a person and these people have an addiction.
DeleteI wish i could post a pic of some bricks with Itzlis and thrse not in the game people namea on the pictures.. yall mods ever seen shiny blue pearly pure coca??? Bet yall haven't .
I saw some movie and this fairy was master of military tactics because he had read alot but had never fought or served or anything.. well someone grabbed hi. And through him. Out the window lol
Im in expert in baseball but i have never played in my life. Lmaooooooo. Tracas
Yall should post each comments location. Pinche Aden christopher Bartholomew Gonzalez from idaho talking mob shit when he never stepped foot in the game.
Itli come down to gdl ,Come lay down on some bricks or how about want to try to shoot with a glock switch??? How about drilling third hole on an AR lower?? Want to come assault and clear a house?? Want to see someone cry out for God after previously claiming to be an atheist??? All the atheists love saying there is no good untill they are tied up and they feel the pain and then start saying porfavor dios ayudame !!!!! Hallelujah!!!
Delete@1129 thankfully that comment won’t make us all stupider for having read it because it’s just too damn stupid.
Delete@1:48, 1:53..... ya bajate del avion wey.... go lay your head on a brick in a rehab center
DeleteOhh shit another weirdo in comments answering his own posts,we need another one of these like a fuckin hole in the head..
DeleteWeally indelectual for us
I can't believe someone is dumb enough, and paranoid enough, to think people are responding to their own post! What a weirdo.
Delete10:16 AM
DeleteYou sound mad bro,weally weally mad,fuckin clown,answering your own posts,how sad is that shit?

DeleteI rest my case.
Lol you’re thin skinned. Cd. Victoria has been contested for some time now. There’s no particular “uptick” in violence. It’s business as usual.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect I don't understand why you claim I'm thin skinned. In the article I said there was an uptick, I chose that word specifically because it means a slight increase, therefore there is already violence in Ciudad Victoria but seeing a bit of an increase. I get questioned in comment about it and I post the SDRs that lead me to that gave me that impression while acknowledging that relying on the SDRs may lead to the wrong conclusion. Here's the deal, yeah Ciudad Victoria has been contested for some time now, despite what you think I can tell you a lot of it off the top of my head I've never said otherwise. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but all I'm getting at is that CDN seemed to have backed off of "calientando la plaza" a while back and now it APPEARS they are once again focusing on that.
Delete"thin skinned"?
Delete...you be mixing metaphors, foo!
😂
6;28 is a dork.
DeleteLol haa
DeleteMr thin skin you tell us whats going on since you are an expert in all things cartel,seeing as you belong to a cartel.I swear man,now you cant write about something if you dont live it,that puts most rappers out of work then?
Delete@556 more like living in the hood, and listening to some suburban rapper writing authoritatively about what’s happening in the hood without ever having stepped foot in the hood, or knowing anyone who actually lives where you’re writing about. I live here 🤦🏻♂️ As I said prior, it’s okay to be an aggregator, but there’s a credibly and accuracy issue when you swerve out of that lane. Want to know how we who live here know factually what’s happening? From other people who actually live here.
Delete@4:51
DeleteYou keep talking about credibility and accuracy yet you're committing a tu quoque fallacy by merely asserting that x doesn't live in y, therefore, x isn't believable. Your thinking is uncharitable and fallacious. Please substantiate yourself!
Just because you use big words doesn’t mean you understand them and you obviously don’t. There are details that have been “reported” here that I know to be false. And for the record, 2nd and 3rd hand information is notoriously unreliable. Do we even have to address that fact “big word person?” There isn’t a writer here who has primary sources. Now, mind you, primary sources aren’t always correct or tell the truth for that matter, but it’s far far far superior to the alternative. I’ll say it again bc apparently you don’t understand - this site is an aggregator of news already in the ether - and there’s not a thing wrong with that. The problem lies in swerving out of that lane and making “analysis.” When someone ventures, for but one example, “there’s an uptick in violence in Cd Victoria, when there is no such “uptick” (the people who live there can tell you that) and you have no primary source to support your bald speculation, you’re out of your lane and in oncoming traffic. Now, I get it - you’re some rando on the internet fascinated with this material (only you know why for heavens sake - your time could be better spent bettering yourself), and talking trash from the comfort, privacy, and protection of your US basement and its a form of empowerment for you. But don’t think you can come here, drop “fallacious” and impress anyone. You’re not.
Delete@6:06
DeleteYou're straining to defend yourself. You originally claimed, fallaciously - it certainly was illogical - that because someone doesn't live in the place they're reporting it follows they're not credible. But now you add the charge, and thereby move the goal post, of primary sources. Geez, read the title, it has the word "chismes" in it. Hello! Also, read the first sentence! It has the word "gossip", ring a bell?
P.S.
Nothing I wrote was remotely impressive nor was it meant to be. Relax. It's OK.
As always these are great posts bro! You do an amazing job of keeping us in the loop.

Como chingas con tus chismes. Pareces vieja guey
ReplyDeleteAver, eso sera gran insulto? Ni modo amigo, aqui ando y aqui estas viendo los chismes y criticando como una mujer sin mejores cosas que hacer.
DeleteLa verda no peca pero incomoda compa. No sirves pa reportero. Pinche vato vale verga.
DeleteAndale pues, manda tus reportes mejores y los publicamos. Si no sera mejor que no gastas tu tiempo en leer los mios, obvio no los vas a gustar.
Deleteplease do not stop with standard reporting, Italian. No one can always say oh- itzli is so interesting or that she is a moron all the time. It is still 7:50 in Michigan.
Delete''but it's annoying, buddy. You're no good as a reporter. Damn dude, you're worth shit''
DeleteSays the soft twat who sits on his arse and keeps coming back to read whats on BB?
I wouldn't waste time replying to these bitter fuckin haters they are going to winge no matter what is written,they dont write anything but criticize other peoples efforts for no apparent reason ? Dont visit BB its so easy go elsewhere,basically fuck off
DeleteSDR means something diff where I’m from, in the US of A. It means I cold call people for a living. Saludos Itzli
ReplyDeleteWhere's the story of those 6 soldiers killed by those cjng scumbags in Michoacan and Jalisco. It turns out the 2 of the 4 arrested by the armed forces were former Gafes. That's why they managed to kill 6 of those soldiers. 3 of that group were also killed by the army. It turns out that they're bodyguards for el tío lako. A regional boss of the cjng. The same coward that escaped from Michoacan when he was throwing a party for his daughter. He'll be captured sooner or later after that grave site. Bet those cartels voted for el PRI or PAN. I guess they voted for MORENA. Thinking that the political party will kiss they're asses. They made a big mistake.
ReplyDeleteEl Hamburgruesas goons were also involved. Got caught in Zacapu and let him go a week later. Heard he shit and pissed his pants when he got arrested and let him change before coming out. Probably pay back for this.
Delete8 23.
DeleteWhat does him pulling a magic trick and escaping from a party have anything to do with being a coward????
His daughter had a really big party,so music alone probably at least 500k usd so believe when I say he also paid the government extra to be able to enjoy a family event with mayors from towns invited as well as military officers.
abra cadabra cupcake
8 23. The politicians run to the narcos for money to finance their campaigns and buy votes. Governor of Michoacan is a nephew of el abuelo farias. Rocha is a fixer for Ivan guzman.
DeleteLol just like american politicians run to aipac for funding so do mexican politicos run to narcos.
You are a funny a guy...
demonia is a ‘bad girl’.
DeleteDeport Sic006 to CECOT!
ReplyDeleteOG EL COSS IS KING !!!
ReplyDeleteCallese alv Perro sarnoso
DeleteI get El Coss and El Gross(RIP) mixed up sometimes 😟
DeleteThe patron Osiel has the plazas on lockdown! Nuff said!
ReplyDeleteYou mean his nephew because if oziel wld step in moros his own nephew wld have him killed. El contador is the cdg boss like it or not.
DeleteLeave the cartels alone , with out them you would starve .
ReplyDeleteThx for taking time and reporting about tamps. And you are right about the police ops. I thought the same but not limited to tamps but all over mexico.
ReplyDeleteKeep on and dont care about the guys who think they know.
Wow what a bad read. Ⓜ️Ⓜ️
ReplyDelete''Wow what a bad read.''
DeleteLook at mr alpha male over here

DeleteThe spoof wasn't even alpha male enough to put a comma after "Wow"..
He must have been raised in the jungle by wolves 🐺
Is it true that p-1 men are moving to cdn territory to start a super cartel ?
ReplyDeleteAhora los metros van a reforzar a quien en zacatecas? Que bien que vallan y los maten alv alla por lambe huevos. Digan lo que digan los escorpiones no necesitan a ningun otro cartel. Los metros le dieron las nalgas a las jaliscas y ahora tienen que pelear sus guerras en otros estados y encima de eso todo el dinero de reyonsa y la frontera chica se va para sus patrones en colima y jalisco. Pendejos.
ReplyDeleteBien sabes la movida amigo. Todo lo que ha logrado Primito en fin es gracias al Jardinero y asi parece que los CJNG quieren refuerzas en Zacatecas y Los Metros no quedan de otra de reforzar los. Igual cuando los de F1 dieron todo los que tenian in Zacatecas al CJNG.
Delete755 El Mayo tiene el mismo abogado que el abogado que el Z40 juan pablo penilla el asesor de america que arreglava todo en tamaulipas sabes lo que significa eso indio. Quiere decir que desde siempre han tenido sociedades los fronterizos con sureños. Sabes porque guey??? Porque toda la material viene del sur porque alla es producida. En la frontera no se produce nada mas que pollos y extorsion y cobro de piso si no tienes mercancia para vender o cruzar.. asi que siguele llorando payaso del valle que los patrones estan en jalisco o colima. Sin el sur no hay mercancia. Son arreglos mayores . Porque los golfos no tienen terrenos en el sur porque ya no son super empresas como antes y perdieron esos terrenos.
DeleteSi tu tienes frontera tienes que conseguir mercancia para poder generar billete,en tamaulipas coauhuila chihuahua sonora baja california no hay agua no hay bosques no hay nada y aparte estan a un lado de los gringos y sus drones. Ubicate y aceptala la realidad. Es trabajar en equipo.
Saludos desde la Vaca Argentina en Andares ....
@1:07 Como se nota que no saves mas que mamar riata.. Chihuahua tiene mas bosques que cual quier estado payaso del sur .. tambien tiene un chingo de llanuras y desierto .. no mas la tercera parte de Chihuahua es bosque, y con eso tiene mas que Jalisco o michoacan .. averigua primero pinche morro pendejo
DeleteThere will never be peace in Tamaulipas. These idiots don't know how to keep a truce going. I also would really love to know what that girl in the picture is thinking. She's posing with a CDG hat on. She just exposed herself to the world and the enemy. They will track her down and kill her. She will be easy to identify with tattoos on her right hand. Does anybody remember Joselyn Alejandra Niño? This girl also posed in pictures. She had a tattoo in her right arm which made her get identified easy. They got to her and chopped her up in pieces. Please girls taking these pictures is not cool. If you want to be cool date me Nuffy! Nuff Said!!!
ReplyDeleteCatch your eye huh? There's more on her on twitter, she's 22 years old and an "operadora" for Los Metros. Have a picture of her geared up too. Like you said, another Joselyn, playing sicaria going to end bad.
DeleteThanks Itzli. I will look her up. Hopefully Buffy won't catch me. Nuff Said!!!
DeleteHere's the BB article on Joselyn Alejandra Niño if people want to read it:

We remember Jocelyn, but can't believe it's been 10 years already 😟
DeleteBordertown cartels have never been the brightest (cdn, cdg, juarez, caf look like wannabe cholos)
DeleteY si me quiero cruzar por DO si se podra o es mejor Mier?
ReplyDeleteHello, I'm interested in fishing the TMPS coast. I wanted to tow my boat down from Austin behind my f250. I have heard that highway 101 is safe now, for daytime driving. The fishing is good this time of year, so I would be leaving in the next week or so. Sounds like the cartels are mostly in the border area.
ReplyDeleteBringing a late model truck is always a risk. Where specifically are you thinking of going?
DeleteYes it should be safe. Just make sure you don't play the wrong narco corrido songs in your truck. You also might want to carry your registered gun from home just in case. Don't stop for anyone at all. It could be a trap. Finally make sure your truck has gps wired to it. If you get jacked then you will know the location. Nuff Said!!!
DeleteYou'll be alright stay respectful and act like you do this all the time.
Delete538
DeleteThat's right, nuffs, make sure your gun from home is registered, so they Mexican cops will know it's alright !
Do you TRY to be stupid, or does it all just come naturally?
Don't risk your life for a fish 🐟
DeleteThe cartel will look at you like you look at the fish, as something to catch, kill, and maybe eat 👀
DeletePlease write again if you return!
DeleteWould like to hear your opinions and about your experience.
You sure are way more brave than me, a boat and f250!
Mind you, there's another bad hombres, not just the cartels.
Your seriously asking these hateful motherfcukers on here?They will want you to be caught or hurt dont trust none of these hating rats,they will put you on a bum steer these people they hate gringos and the U.S for real
