Down in Mexico, Where the Peppers Grow

SHOCK VIDEO: Cartel Shoots and Kills Mexican Mayoral Candidate, Her Daughter and Two Other People During Facebook Livestream [More]

Damn lax American gun laws! Sue the manufacturers! Just in case anybody had any illusions about who’s pulling Claudia’s strings…

And the party of “commonsense gun safety laws” is fighting to keep cartel thugs here.

Everybody Ready for a Real ‘War on Drugs’?

Mexican president declines Trump’s offer of US troops to help fight drug cartels [More]

She’s right, but for the wrong reasons. If she allowed it, her corrupt government would cease to allow her.

I’m against it for the same reason I’ve consistently been against wars that our representatives have not declared– as required by the Constitution.

Surely, someone has factored in the likelihood of a sufficient percentage of the tens of millions embedded throughout the Republic becoming even more radicalized and adopting assymetric warfare tactics, e.g., “terrorism” wherever unhardened targets present themselves, that is, practically everywhere. Can we see the projections?

If the decision IS war, then anything other than real war will be a betrayal of those we order to put their bodies and their lives on the line on our behalf. And in this case, it would be impossible to “just” target cartels without also going after their stooges at all levels of the Mexican government.

The Power of Suggestion

“Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels”‘Suggests’???? You’re Kidding, Right? ‘Suggests’? [More]

No, I’m not kidding. I laid out some documented examples of corruption to build my argument, but if I was going to use the word “Proves” for the specific instance of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum being in league with the cartels, I’d need to provide more than circumstantial evidence. I’d need to produce documentation establishing that she’s in communication with, on the take, or under direct threat from specific cartels. Barring that, it’s the same reason why words like “alleged” are used.

The commentator, who “suggests” he was a CIA operative in Mexico who had a direct hand in getting DEA agents in and then out of the country with their captures, claims direct knowledge I confess I cannot. If he’d like to be a whistleblower and blow the lid off this, I can guarantee the same level of care Mike and I gave to our Fast and Furious sources– after vetting them .

Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels

Top officials, in all branches of government, the police, and the military, are in the pockets of the cartels. [More]

Don’t think of them as partners. Think of them as conjoined twins.

Should Be Easy Enough to Determine

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]

If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.

So… is anybody else looking into it?

A New Phase

In for a penny, in for a pound… and the cooperation means some in the Mexican government have picked a side that there’s no coming back from.

Know Thy Enemy

Should the U.S. Engage in Direct Action Against the Cartels? [More]

Herschel examines complexities.

One thing I’d add: The Mexican government serves at the pleasure of the cartels. By that I mean no official is beyond their reach if they really want to take them out, and even the ones who aren’t directly in their thrall know that and conduct themselves accordingly.

Scalp Hunting for Fun and Profit

Or they could do this.

Been a while since we discussed privateering

Good luck getting business licenses and insurance, and then navigating your way through the government contracting/procurement process. And lawyers– don’t forget lots of lawyers.

Hey, now that Trump has ordered only two genders, does that mean I can’t self-identify and apply for woman-owned business perks?

One Way to Thank Their Hosts

Brace yourselves. The deportation efforts will get hotter…I would not put it past the criminal illegals to use innocents as shields or hostages. Think typical Hamas embeddings among civilians, etc. [More]

Who wants to bet the victims won’t primarily be Sanctuary City Democrats who vote for “commonsense gun safety laws”?

This could go a lot of ways, including open fighting in cities. It may take an example with one of the newly-designated “foreign terrorist organizations” to get some to rethink that.

FAFO.

The Other Side in a Nutshell

This is why it’s fruitless to “debate” with with obnoxious, self-entitled fanatics who are too stupid to realize how wrong they are, and who presume to teach but don’t even belong in the class without passing the prerequisites.

Has the loudmouthed clownette “proudly” ID’d herself on social media yet?
