Los Zetas Really Did Seize Control of Texas Ranch
Posted by Dave Blount at August 12, 2010 9:15 AM
Remember the report of Los Zetas drug lords from Mexico seizing control of ranches in Texas? Due to the climate of "transparency" we live in, no one could be sure if it was really happening or not. The authorities weren't talking. Now we learn that a ranch seizure apparently really did occur:
The police blotter tells the story of the events that unfolded on July 23rd;
"On Friday 7-23-10 Laredo Webb informed that their county SWAT Team is conducting an operation in the Mines Rd. area. According to LT. Garcia with LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) received a call from a ranch owner stating that the Zetas had taken over his ranch. As per the 17 (reporting person) he informed them that they stated La Compania (area name for Zetas) was taking the ranch and no one was permitted on the ranch without permission. SO (Sheriff Office) will have an unmarked green Ford Taurus with two officers stationed at Los Compadres and a white Chevy Tahoe with two officers stationed at Mineral Rd. The LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) will maintain surveillance in the area and advise if action is taken. Susp (suspect) Veh (vehicle) are described as a gray or silver Audi, a BLK (black) Escalade or Navigator and a van truck with a logo of a car wash spot free on the side. Border Patrol also has their response team on scene. Also known info of BMW's and Corvettes entering and leaving the area. Auth LT Lichtenberger if assistance is requested LPD (Laredo Police Department) will secure the outer perimeter. (07/24/10 07:42:10 NR1873)"
Cartels have crossed the sovereign borders of the United States causing multiple agencies to respond and the end result was a media blackout. It's well documented that media blackouts in Mexico are happening because the cartels are threatening reporters and news outlets with bodily harm. The question is why American law enforcement agencies are giving reporters the "We can neither confirm nor deny the incident happened" line?
One possible answer is that it would be highly inconvenient for Comrade Obama, who is preparing to wash away the country in a tidal wave of handout-seeking Third World peasants by declaring amnesty for illegal aliens, if the public were to become aware that Mexico's violent chaos is already spilling over into our virtually undefended country.
The implications of this invasion could hardly be overstated:
The cover-up surrounding this story has reverberated throughout other federal law enforcement agencies. A recently retired ICE veteran, John Sakelarides had plenty to say about the latest U.S. incursion.
"What do you call an invasion by foreign nationals who are armed and occupy territory belonging to a sovereign nation? An act of war. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Anyone who is denying this is what has occurred and that it constitutes an act of war is either an idiot or is somehow involved in this act of war."
He continues to say, "If they (those covering-up the story) are elected representatives or government officials and they are aware that an act of war has been perpetrated against the United States, and refuse to admit it has occurred, much less do anything about it, is violating their oath of office."
As for the mainstream media, if it has any credibility left at all after hyping Obama into office, it won't after ignoring this.
Los Zetas are not garden variety drug dealers. In parts of Mexico, they almost pass as government.
The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops, many of whom were trained by the U.S. military. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers. … [T]he Zetas are considered the most violent paramilitary group in Mexico by the DEA. These drug cartels routinely kidnap tourists, infiltrate local municipalities and smuggle large quantities of narcotics into the U.S. marketplace.
A couple of lessons have been learned:
1. Although rumor should not be passed off as fact, don't be too quick to jump down the throat of those who report stories that our secretive rulers won't confirm.
2. Never trust the sneering liberals at Snopes.
