Attack on Monterrey casino leaves 63 dead and is an act of DOMESTIC TERRORISM

The attack on a popular Monterrey casino yesterday afternoon that left 63 people dead and dozens more injured, mostly women, has elevated the narco violence into Mexico into a de facto act of DOMESTIC TERRORISM and the response to this cowardly attack against innocent civilians should be treated as such. A $30 million peso reward has been offered by the PGR for information leading to the arrest of the individuals involved. One of the cars used by the gunman, a Cooper Mini has been found and is undergoing forensic examination and a sketch of one of the gunmen, based on ….Read More

Did you survive ROADCHECK 2011?

Roadcheck 2011 is one for the books for the most part. So, did everyone survive? From Canada to Mexico, there was supposed to be scores of Federal, State and local truck inspectors working round the clock in the annual CVSA 72 hour blitz known as “Roadcheck”, or to some of us, “Vacation Time”. I fall into the former category for the 25th year in a row. I learned my lesson early on. Stay the hell off the roads during this revenue enhancement effort. It helps that my birthday always falls in the middle of the “blitz”. Time to go back ….Read More

Is this the "New Mexican Revolution"? - Uprising and lynching in Ascension Chihuahua!

The good people of Mexico have has enough and the attempted kidnapping of a young woman in Ascension, Chihuahua, a small town south of the New Mexico border, could well be the catalyst for Mexican citizens to begin to take back their country from the grips of the narco terrorists. The blatant abduction attempt abduction of a 17-year-old female worker of a seafood restaurant  touched off a burst of mass outrage that left two suspected young kidnappers dead and a small town in open rebellion. Alerted to the kidnapping, townspeople and soldiers mobilized, freed the victim and detained five alleged kidnappers; ….Read More

MEXICO CITY — Mexican troops acting on information from U.S. officials took out drug kingpin Arturo Beltran Leyva in an assault that provided a rare victory for President Felipe Calderon but left a power vacuum that could lead to more violence. In a carefully executed attack, heavily armed Mexican marines quietly evacuated an upscale apartment complex in Cuernavaca Wednesday before some 200 troops stormed the building and demanded the surrender of Beltran Leyva, one of the world’s most brutal drug lords. Gunmen fired on the marines who then launched an attack that lasted nearly two hours. Nicknamed the “boss of ….Read More
