Some say the word Enemy has no place in a struggle for peace... they think it is synonymous with violent resistance. That is exactly what we are supposed to believe.

(SAN BLAS, Mexico) - One of my biggest criticisms of Neo-Con blowhards like Limbaugh and O'Reilly is that they whine and complain but offer no viable solutions.

I have been guilty of the same thing. It is easy to point out glaring injustices and obvious wrongs, but then what?

Mata Zetas - Has Los Zetas Cartel Met its Own Murderous Match?

Five masked men; one says they're called the "Mata Zetas," or Zeta Killers, an "extermination" force.

(SALEM, Ore.) - A group in Mexico says they are putting an end to the terror streak inflicted on the population by 'Los Zetas' cartel by giving them a dose of their own medicine.

(SINALOA, Mexico) - Borderland Beat has released video of a chainsaw decapitation that might be among the most gruesome video clips ever released. The images tell the story and the video is available via the link below.

I don't think we can over-saturate people with images of the cruelty of the cartel members, and it is a lackadaisical view of this madness in America that has allowed the problems to spiral out of control. So much for the drug war, it is like a cruel hoax designed to fuel the illegal side of narco trafficking.

Operation Fast and Furious - The Cover up Continues

Dept. of Justice Inspector General Cynthia Schnedar, may have compromised the investigation.

(OKLAHOMA CITY) - Although I have written only sparingly about the ATF’s misguided attempts to sell and track guns as they went into Mexico, Operation Fast and Furious, I have followed it with some interest.

Security Breakdown Turns into Education Crisis

Teachers in Mexico are told to hand over part of their pay to violent cartels, several dozen are currently missing.

(ACAPULCO) - For three weeks, thousands of students in the old Mexican resort of Acapulco have gone without classes. Their schools remain shut down by an atypical teacher strike that’s ground much of the educational system to a halt. Instead of striking for higher wages, better working conditions and fair treatment by supervisors, the teachers are demanding basic guarantees of life and limb.
