Mexico Trucker Online

Hey people! We all know how the right wing loony toons have been using the terror/fear card to convince Americans of all the “terrorists” crossing the southern border and using that as an excuse to promote their nativist agenda. Some have made a reputation trying to get you to believe it is a Family Security Matter, when in reality, it appears nothing more than nativist BS.

The US Department of Justice,National Drug Intelligence Centerhas published the document NDIC Accomplishments, Fiscal Year 2007 which some are suggesting shows ties between Mexican drug cartels and Islamic terrorist groups.

The site in question, and I am not going to give them the pleasure of a link to this site reports:

“Information from intelligence and investigations on narcoterrorism that we have carried out identifies ties between Mexican narcotics traffickers, [and] those of the Philippines and Colombia, with elements belonging to foreign organizations designated as terrorists by the [U.S.] Department of State,” the NDIC document indicates. Based on information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the NDIC document emphasized: “The results of 74 investigations of narcoterrorism that have been carried out by the Special Operations Division of the DEA document that Islamic groups present on the common border of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay launder money, sell arms and traffic drugs of the main Mexican criminal organizations.”

Scares you doesn’t it? It is supposed to. It would scare me also if I didn’t have a brain and the ability to use it.

What does the intelligence report actually say that was subverted to promote this nativist point of view and scare us all into thinking the southern border is a hotbed of Terrorist activity?

In FY2007, the Doc Ex Branch supported several drug-terrorism investigations including a Doc Ex mission that identified links between southern Philippines drug traffickers and elements of designated foreign terrorist organizations, namely the Abu Sayyaf Group and Jamayah Islamiyah.

Hmm, last time I looked, we did not share a border, nor does Mexico with the Phillipines. Of course I don’t have the benefit of rural Arkansas home schooling so I could be wrong.

But it goes on to explain in further detail.

Doc Ex Branch has supported another drug-terror investigation aimed at disrupting and dismantling five Arab Tri-Border Area (TBA) drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) that operate in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay as well as in surrounding areas and in Europe and the Middle East. All five groups have been linked to Islamic Radical Groups.

There again, there is mention of Islamic or Arab drug trafficking organizations operating in countries far removed from Mexico and the United States. It seems they conduct their drug trade with Europe and their own countries. How interesting.

Ed Note: But hey, they speak English in Canada so it isn’t a problem is it!

Uncle Sam, occupied by the possibility of would-be terrorists among illegal aliens crossing its borders from Mexico, is now looking at Canada.

A recent U.S. government report says it would be easy to smuggle dangerous materials into the United States.

And if anyone wants to smuggle dangerous materials into the U.S., they have the more than 8,000 kilometers of US-Canada border to do so.

The independent Government Accountability Office (GAO) sent investigators to test how easily they could transfer large red duffel bags at four unguarded and unmonitored spots along the more than eight thousand kilometers of U.S. Canada border.

“The GAO, the investigative arm of Congress, described in a 13-page report delivered to Congress Thursday how easily they were able to penetrate the border at several spots.” (Canadian Press and Associated Press, Sept. 27, 2007. “The report claims that (it) shows how easy it would be to bring in radioactive material and other contraband.”

At a Capitol Hill hearing, U.S. Senator Ken Salazar of Colorado says there’s been far too much focus on the border with Mexico and not enough on the Canadian line.

Senator Salazar claims there are more international terrorist organizations in Canada than anywhere else in the world.

Senator Salazar is right.
