Total Gun Ban Total Failure: Mexico!

03 October 2015 (20:26 UTC-07 Tango 01, 02 October 2015)/11 Mehr 1394/19 Dhu l-Hijja 1436/21 Bing-Xu 4713

“You don’t need a lot of guns to commit a lot of homicides if they’re in the wrong hands.”-Matthias Nowak, Small Arms Survey

“Don’t bring firearms or ammunition across the border into Mexico. Don’t carry a knife, even a small pocketknife, on your person in Mexico.  You may become one of dozens of U.S. Citizens who are arrested each month for unintentionally violating Mexico’s strict weapons laws.”–U.S. Consul General, Tijuana, Mexico

A gold AK-47 in total gun ban Mexico!

“A look at six countries with widely differing gun legislation and gun homicide statistics –Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Honduras, Chile and Uruguay — shows that gun legislation, on its own, means little in terms of gun violence….  Mexico is commonly considered to have some of the strictest gun legislation in the region -– there is only one, military-owned gun store in the country. Civilians are prohibited from owning military grade weapons, cannot carry a gun outside their home, and must undergo rigorous background checks to obtain an ownership license…..    More than half of Mexico’s homicides were committed with a gun…..”–InSight Crime

“….the Mexican government released new data showing that between 2007 and 2014….more than 164,000 people were victims of homicide.”–PBS Frontline

And for proof you don’t need a gun or a knife to commit a horrific murder check this recent event out: “2 men burned to death by mob in Mexico for alleged car theft.  Two men were burned to death in the same area in 2013 after they were accused of raping and killing a woman.”

More deaths in Mexico than in Syria?

False Flag or Incompetence? U.S. controlled Egypt kills 12 Mexican tourists!

14 September 2015 (20:26 UTC-07 Tango 01, 13 September 2015)/23 Shahrivar 1394/30 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/02 Yi-You (8th month) 4713

“A joint police and army force were chasing terrorist elements in the western desert area of Al-Wahat and they wrongfully dealt with four 4-wheel drives belonging to Mexican tourists who were present in a restricted area. The incident resulted in the death of 12 people and the injury of 10 Mexicans and Egyptians….”-Egyptian Ministry of Interior

The U.S. installed military junta in Egypt admitted they accidently killed 12 tourists from Mexico and Egypt, thinking they were Islamic State insurgents!  10 tourists were wounded.

Tour vehicles filled with Mexicans and Egyptians were ambushed by the junta’s police and army personnel.   However, evil junta administrators claim the tour bus convoy just happened to be driving through the same place where a battle was already taking place.

The Obama regime backed junta came to power in 2013 by ousting the democratically elected Mohamed Mursi.

AGOSTO-12: Mexico’s oil industry turns to China for help!

30 August 2015 (09:46 UTC-07 Tango 01)/08 Shahrivar 1394/15 Dhu al-Qa’dah 1436/17 Jia-Shen (7th month) 4713

Petróleos Mexicanos (PeMex) is about to take possession of the latest offshore gas compression rig, built in China.  The rig will be used in the Gulf of Mexico to compress gas at a rate of 61 million cubic meters (200 million cubic feet) per day, at a time when U.S. oil companies have killed off more than 100-thousand U.S. jobs.

AGOSTO-12 is said to be able to handle category 3 hurricanes and will reduce environmental pollution by recycling and reinjecting unused gasses into the Cantarell oil fields. It’s expected to operate for at least 25 years.

Fracking causes Oklahoma quakes, ironically shuts down oil wells!

World War 3, North American Front: United States ‘THE’ drug lord in Mexico’s drug war?

30 July 2015 (15:47 UTC-07 Tango 01)/08 Mordad 1394/13 Shawwal 1436/15 Gui-Wie (6th month) 4713

“The corruption is not just inside Mexico….Of course what is happening in U.S….has a lot of impact…If you have huge White Elephants, tons of cocaines, tons of methamphetamine, that cross the border…everyday and no one sees these Elephants? It’s because also here in U.S. exists corruption.

…the proofs, in several criminal cases in federal courts here in U.S., that the cartels used to launder their money in the banks of U.S.!

….or banks from England…”–Anabel Hernández , interview with CCTV    

“…he had under his control all the guards…El Chapo was seeing his lawyers everyday, and through his lawyers he was controlling from jail his organization, the Sinaloa Cartel, so he never lost not even a piece of his power when he was arrested and imprisoned….that’s why there was never a war inside the criminal organization, because it was always under El Chapo’s control.

….the arrest of El Chapo was never real, it was never a serious thing, that’s why El Chapo never denounced anyone…..I have that information in my possession, through transparency reports.

‘How many officials you have arrested for their links with El Chapo?’ They [government officials] said none! ‘How much money have you seized from his accounts?’ Not a single peso!

Who has been arrested, his family members, his collaborators, those who helped him with money laundering, the answer is the same, not a single one!

…..everything is part of a great deception, a great deception by the Mexican government and also a great deception by the U.S. government, because instead of recognizing that it is a matter of corruption, the U.S. and Mexican government prefer to make an invention and say that this guy is so smart and that he can fool everyone and keep distributing tons of cocaine worldwide. That’s absurd!

….he is not Steve Jobs …He is the best example of the globalized corruption, because his power is not only in Mexico, his power is around the world.

The Sinaloa Cartel’s revenues cannot be transported in a suitcase, that money is transferred trough HSBC, Bank of America, City Group,  and that’s proven.”–Anabel Hernández, interview with teleSURtv

Business/Economics

Sears Kmart closings 30 July 2015: Worth more dead than alive! Taxpayers getting stuck with the bill, again!

In Mexico, it’s been revealed that the independently owned (Carlos Slim’s Grupo Sanborns) Sears Mexico is making money hand over fist.  In the 1st quarter of 2015 Sears Mexico saw sales increase 7.1%.  This is a clear sign that the economy in Mexico is better off than the economy in the United States: “They’re still very viable in Mexico. There’s a nice long runway for growth.”-Martha Shelton, Itau BBA

It was discovered that taxpayers in one school district barley missing the bullet when the Houston County School Board gave up on buying the abandoned Sears building.  The original plan was to spend big taxpayer bucks on turning the old retail center into a tech school.  Turns out such a purchase would have violated Alabama law! (you’d think those exalted school board ‘officials’ would’ve known that at the start)

In Louisiana taxpayers are about to be stuck with the bill (again) because Lake Charles city ‘officials’ are stupefied about the lack of action with an abandoned Sears property.  In 2006 dumb city administrators spent big taxpayer bucks buying the property after Sears said ‘Bye Bye’.  But it seems they made a deal when they sold it to a property developer for $1.065-million USD.  But wait, it’s not over!  The deal required the developer to actually develop the property within 42 months.  There are only 18 months left, if the developer doesn’t come through the city of Lake Charles must buy back the property!

In New Philadelphia, Ohio, the Community Reinvestment Area program ‘investing’ taxpayer dollars (in the form of property tax abatements) tearing down the old Kmart. It’s expected to cost about $18.3-million!

For the past few weeks Eddie Lampert’s new finance shell game REIT Seritage SRC Finance LLC has been busy buying up Sears stores.  $17.2-million spent buying two properties in Tennessee.

Evercore ISI Institutional Equities has issued an analysis of the value of Sears Holdings, and basically Sears and Kmart stores are worth more dead than alive.  Evercore told its investors that even with Lampert’s new Seritage purchases the value of Sears Holdings stock is too high compared to the actual value of the stores/properties.  To put it another way, if the value of shares of Sears Holdings were ‘corrected’ investors might be better off shutting down and selling the stores/properties.

In Pennsylvania, Sears Holdings issued a WARN for the Brookhaven Kmart,  it’ll be shutdown by September.   And Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PREIT) announced it will tear down the Exton Kmart.  In news interviews, administrators with PREIT admitted they don’t move forward with any project without state taxpayer funding.

It was finally revealed (through a WARN) how many Californians will lose their jobs when the Cupertino Sears operation shuts down; 98.

And what’s that about Sears & Kmart losing millions of dollars?  The March of Dimes reports that their biggest donor is Kmart!   Kmart has donated $9-million so far this year!  Apparently Kmart employees are better at raising donations than getting customers to buy products.

Yankees go Home: Mexicans target U.S. citizens! Warning issued by U.S. government!

“The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens about the risk of traveling to certain places in Mexico due to threats to safety and security posed by organized criminal groups in the country. U.S. citizens have been the victims of violent crimes, such as kidnapping, carjacking, and robbery by organized criminal groups in various Mexican states……

The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico was 81 in 2013 and 100 in 2014.

….U.S. citizens have been temporarily prevented from leaving….

More than 130 kidnappings of U.S. citizens were reported to the U.S. Embassy and consulates in Mexico between January and November of 2014.

U.S. government personnel are specifically prohibited from…..the states of Coahuila, Durango, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, San Luis Potosi, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit.

…..criminal organizations have erected their own unauthorized checkpoints, at times wearing police and military uniforms, and have killed or abducted motorists who have failed to stop at them. You should cooperate at all checkpoints.

U.S. Citizens should avoid participating in demonstrations and other activities that might be deemed political by the authorities as the Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners….”-U.S. Department of State, 13 April 2015

Where are they going? South of the border is the number one destination, just ask Jesse Ventura! 2014 to be another record year for rejection of U.S. citizenship!

02 June 2014 (18:30 UTC-07 Tango 01 June 2014)/03 Sha’ban 1435/12 Khordad 1393/05 Geng Wu 4712

Fate is twisted, after decades of U.S. citizens pissing and whining about ‘Mexicans’ swarming into the United States the shoe is now on the other foot!

Now, U.S. citizens are literally swarming into Mexico.  As of 2010, U.S. and Mexican government data estimate the number of U.S. citizens living in Mexico at between 740-thousand and 1-million!  That’s a record.

Compare that to the claims of the evil British empire member Canada: 2011 data shows just over 311-thousand U.S. citizens calling the Great White North home.

It must be noted that Brazil is challenging Canada’s position as number two destination spot.  Unconfirmed reports say as many as 350-thousand U.S. citizens live in Brazil.

The capitol of the evil British empire (and mortal enemy of the United States) United Kingdom might be the third destination spot for ‘Americans’:  The 2001 U.K. census puts U.S. citizens at 158,434.

Israel and Italy are challenging United Kingdom’s number three spot. Israel claims 185-thousand U.S. citizens, while Italy claims as many as 200-thousand.

Unfortunately there are no hard and fast numbers, as each country conducts census surveys on their own terms, and even the U.S. government keeps lousy track of U.S. citizens living abroad.  But no country can come close to Mexico’s one million U.S. citizens! Heck, even ex-Navy SEAL, action movie actor and former governor of Minnesota, Jesse Ventura, now calls his Mexican home his “government in exile”!

Probably the best source for tracking ‘Americans’ living abroad is the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS), due to Congress passing draconian tax laws against U.S. citizens living abroad.

Thanks to the  FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) and FATCA (Foreign Asset Tax Compliance Act) the IRS has stolen $55-billion from ‘Americans’ living abroad.

In fact, ever since 1996 the IRS has issued quarterly reports (through the Federal Register) revealing those ‘Americans’ who officially reject their citizenship (officially called expatriation), and 2014 is going to be another record year.  I counted the names on the latest report and counted about 1-thousand rejected their citizenship during the months of  January to March.  Compare that to the same time in 2013 when about 670 rejected their citizenship.  If the trend continues, say 1-thousand every quarter for 2014, then you could estimate that 4-thousand ‘Americans’ will reject their citizenship.  Now compare that to all of 2013 when about 3-thousand ‘Americans’ rejected their U.S. citizenship (which was a record year as well).

Martial Law U.S.A. Mexican Style: New study shows Mexican anti-gun laws a big fail, and don’t blame U.S. guns! Government behind most of the violence!

19 April 2014 (13:36 UTC-07 Tango)/18 Jumada t-Tania 1435/30 Farvardin 1393/20 Wu-Chen 4712

A new study by David Kopel, Adjunct professor of advanced constitutional law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law, has revealed that the anti-gun laws imposed on Mexicans in the 1970s is a big fail, and it is not because of U.S. guns being smuggled in, it’s plain old government corruption!

Here in the U.S. we’ve already had shining examples of ‘elected’ officials, who claimed to be anti-gun, being caught in gun running ops.  And what about the 40 British anti-gun politicians arrested for owning and selling illegal guns?  And then there’s China with an out right ban on guns yet somehow, year after year, record numbers of guns are captured by Chinese NAZI cops!

Kopel’s research shows that since the implementation of Mexican anti-gun bans, in the 1970s, gun crimes and violence has only skyrocketed in Mexico.  And who are the ones with the most guns?  Government agencies and ‘drug lords’!  Two former Mexican federal officials admitted that only 14% of ‘law abiding’ Mexican families actually own illegal guns, and most of them because they live in crime ridden neighborhoods where the cops refuse to go!

The study also shows that government officials, backed up by cops, have created highly publicized false flag gun confiscation ops to justify the anti-gun laws.  Kopel found most of these to be totally bogus (hence “false flag”).  This reminds me of the recent NYC cops who set up a gun buying op (false flag sting) and then tried to claim illegal gun selling was rampant in order to justify more and more anti-gun laws. Turned out the only “customers” buying the guns were the cops under the guise of a “sting” op.  And let’s not forget the son of a NYC cop caught gun running.

Kopel was able to determine that guns in the hands of ‘drug lords’ were not being bought in the U.S. specifically for Mexicans: “…..of the Mexican guns that are successfully traced to the U.S., the average firearms age is fifteen years, according to data compiled by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives. The age of these guns is strong evidence that they were legal American guns that were stolen and then sold into the black market–and not guns which were bought at a gun store as part of a plan for them to be immediately transported to Mexico.”

Apparently, the only ops to run U.S. guns into Mexico are being done by our own government: “…’Fast & Furious’ and ‘Wide Receiver’ programs run by the Phoenix BATFE office, to facilitate the export of new American guns to Mexican drug trafficking organizations.”

The study is called Mexico’s Gun Control Laws: A Model for the United States?

More Fukushima WIPP Fallout: Nuke worked buried alive! More nuke workers contaminated at WIPP! Mexico upset!

28 March 2014 (15:18 UTC-07 Tango)/26 Jumada l-Ula 1435/08 Farvardin 1393/28 Ding-Mao 4712

In Japan, a throwaway worker at Fukushima Daiichi was buried alive while rebuilding a warehouse just to the north of reactor Unit 1.  They were trying to shore up the foundation, the worker was down in a hole when a wall of fresh concrete and mud buried him.  He died at the hospital.

A new documentary shows how prized horses were left to starve to death because of the Fukushima Daiichi melt downs.  The owner of the horses was able to return and save some, but at least seven of the horses, used in a thousand years old ceremony, died of starvation.  It’s called The Horses of Fukushima.

Another electric power company is suing Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo).  The other company just happens to have the same initials as TEPCo, but its name is Tohoku Electric Power Company.  Tohoku Power officials say TEPCo owes them at least $1.67 million USD for Tohoku Power’s forced evacuation of the Fukushima radiation zone.  TEPCo officials replied to Tohoku Power’s claim by stating “We will deal appropriately with the demands.”    

So far, TEPCo has been reneging on compensation payments to individual victims.

In New Mexico, U.S.A., four more nuclear workers at the nuke weapons waste storage site, known as WIPP, are contaminated.  That brings the number of officially contaminated workers to 21.

Two New Mexican senators, Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich, demanded an explanation from the Department of Energy (DoE) why required safety inspections were not performed: “The health and safety of the workers at WIPP and the surrounding community are our top priorities and it is extremely concerning to learn that a fire in the mining portion of WIPP was a preventable circumstance.”

Four safety inspections per year are required at WIPP, but an investigation revealed that only two inspections were done during a three year period!

After early reports said inspection teams were heading down WIPP, turns out an inspection team of eight people will actually enter the deep mines next week.

Supposedly, two weeks from now, the U.S. EPA will deploy mobile rad monitoring units at WIPP.   The idea is to provide airborne radiation monitoring since it’s become obvious that people can’t trust the DoE’s own monitoring.

In the city of Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, officials are expressing concern over the ongoing WIPP problems.  Mexican news media says Juárez is within the nuke evacuation zone of WIPP.  Officials from the U.S. DoE and EPA are going to visit Mexican cities to convince them they are in no danger.

Exceptional Failed State: Obama regime Army recruiters ripping off fellow military personnel! Gangs joining en mass, then being recruited to fight in Mexico?

05 February 2014 (09:51 UTC-07 Tango)/04 Rabi ‘ath-Thani 1435/16 Bahman 1392/06 Bing-Yin (1st month) 4712

“…law enforcement officials in at least 100 jurisdictions have come into contact with, detained, or arrested an active duty or former military gang member within the past three years.”-FBI 2011 threat assessment

Since 2007 the FBI revealed that the U.S. military is recruiting convicted criminals, gang bangers and even the mentally ill to go fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, and possibly in Mexico. In 2011, the FBI identified at least 53 gangs within the U.S. military. (explains the war crimes taking place)

Also, Army recruiters (who could be considered a type of gang) have been ripping off their fellow personnel of their recruitment bonuses, by the millions!

State National Guard recruiters, as well as Reserve and Regular Army,  were paid million of dollars in recruiting bonuses under the Recruiting Assistance Program (RAP), which is not meant for official recruiters.  At least 800 recruiters are facing charges of falsifying documents regarding who recruited who.

The program specifically stated it was for soldiers to recruit new soldiers, and personnel already serving as recruiters were not allowed to get the bonuses (as they get incentive bonuses anyway).  An investigation showed many recruiters actually pocketed the money that was supposed to go to soldiers, by tricking new soldiers to sign paperwork that transferred the RAP money into the recruiter’s bank account!

And why did the Department of the Army start the RAP in the first place?  Because since the beginning of the illegal War on Terror, Army National Guard recruitment crashed to record lows, which proves how little support for the War on Terror there is.

Now, news out of Mexico that many U.S. military personnel (who were members of gangs before they joined up) are now fighting in Mexico, for the drug lords.  Recently former U.S. military personnel were convicted of a 2009 murder, that was ordered by a drug lord: “We have seen examples over the past few years where American servicemen are becoming involved in this type of activity. It is quite worrisome to have individuals with specialized military training and combat experience being associated with the cartels.”-Fred Burton, STRATFOR Global Intelligence

The use of former U.S. military personnel by Mexican drug lords not only involves former enlisted personnel, but former officers as well.  One officer, who was caught in a sting op, bragged that he could steal weapons for the drug lords from U.S. military bases.  Some U.S. personnel are being recruited to make ‘hits’ inside the United States.

“Our ideals and principles, as well as our national security……..That’s what makes America different. That’s what makes us exceptional.”-Barack Obama, 10 September 2013
