In pursuit of the truth – www.cinopsbegone.com – Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Preface: “I have a dream! One day in your lifetime the sandy beaches of Baja California in Mexico will be the Vacationland of the World. American families will flock down there freely and joyfully to enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets in a foreign country. The French, Italian and Spanish Riviera is too far away. All the roadblocks to this dream will have been resolved.” (GHK)

A Homeland Invasion: cont’d from Mindszenty Report, ‘April 2009’ –W. Borst, BBPROF@sbcglobal.net

“The Zetas, former Mexican soldiers who have become the paramilitary wing of Gulf Cartel, have been linked to killings as far north of the border as Dallas, according to court records and press accounts. The Sinaloa Cartel is flourishing in the Houston drug trade. In Phoenix, suspected Mexican traffickers dressed as SWAT police Officers recently attacked a home with high-caliber weapons. Fred Burton say Mexican cartels not only utilize U.S. street gangs as dealers and enforcers, they already control street drug traffic in cities like Atlanta.

Jeremy Schwartz Cox, writing in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution points out that officials fear the cartels will bring not just drug violence, but peripheral cash-generating crimes like kidnapping, extortion and protection rackets, all common problems in Mexico. According to ABC our federal government has virtually ignored the use of kidnapping by Mexican drug cartels for ransom or revenge. This is already happening in Arizona. Phoenix is now the second most notorious city in the world for kidnappings with brutal dismemberments if the ransom is not paid fast enough.

A Security Priority: “A former Arizona Governor Jane Napolitano, the new Homeland Security chief has called for stationing National Guard troops along the border permanently, while Michael Chertoff, the former Homeland Security chief says a contingency plan for border violence has been developed that would include use of U.S. military assets, which is probably officialspeak for U.S. military forces. Retired drug czar General Barry McCaffrey recognized the seriousness of this issue in his recent report, which warned that the dangerous and worsening problems in Mexico … fundamentally threatens U.S. national security. He reiterated the fact that the United States cannot afford to have a Narco state as a neighbor.

“The steady flow of illegal immigrants, fueled by American business have failed to secure them. Now American leaders have failed to secure them. Now American citizens are paying a high price for this lack of diligence. This southern border is under siege from a heavily armed enemy that is well funded and is ruthless and barbaric.

This homeland threat is far greater than Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan has ever been. Fences are only a band-aid solution to a problem that permeates the business-government alliance that influences much of American government.

“The Church and the Drug Cartels: The Catholic Church not only champions the cause of the millions of Mexico’s poor, but also condemns the drug violence that has caught the poor in crossfire. Last September Pope Benedict XVI expressed his concern that due to the eagerness for power, healthy ways of living together and to the phenomena of corruption, impunity, infiltration of narcotic trafficking doing things politically and organized crime have increased. The Pontiff sympathized with the Mexican poor’s need to migrate from places where many work in precarious conditions, defenseless and confronting difficulties different in cultural context to their social and religious idiosyncrasies….
