Iran Consistently Inconsistent

Iranian sanctions imposed by the west are in full effect but are these sanctions really effecting Iran’s ability to do business on an international level? Oil is still flowing out of the country to destinations like Taiwan and refined petroleum, money and armaments are still flowing in. Iran has proven itself to be a lucrative black marketer and is flush with enough cash to help out their long time ally Syria. With the fighting in Syria escalating the countries cash reserves  are dwindling at a rate of $1 billion per month. For Syria's President Assad to continue slaughtering the people of Syria he is going to need a cash injection on a monthly basis. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has seen fit to step in and endow Assad with a monthly stipend. Laundered through Lebanese banks the cash is moved at the direction of President Assad himself. 

Ashton and Jalili

With Iran's ability to support it self as well as Syria wile subverting international sanctions what motivation is their for serious talks in Baghdad with the P5+1 this month. After the last P5+1 talks in Istanbul Prime Minister Of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu was furious due to the  lackluster involvement of the negotiators. After getting wind of the meeting Netanyahu went went ballistic on US Senator Joe Lieberman saying that, “my initial impression is that Iran has been given a freebie”. The PM may be right! It has been leaked that the European P5+1 representatives along with EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton actually lobbied for Iran. Ashton reportedly believes that Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons and their  tactical or strategic ballistic missile delivery systems. 


Last Thursday the Iranian negotiator Saeed Jalili made remarks during a speech at a conference in Tehran on the “resistance economy” of Iran Jalili said that “The resistance of our nation has helped us effectively defend the rights of the Iranian people in the talks. In addition, the people are standing firm on their rights and will not relinquish an iota of them.” Jalili added, “After the Istanbul talks, we heard some (negative) comments from the Westerners. I warn them to be careful when making comments so that they will not make miscalculations.” 


 He also said, “Some are saying that the time for negotiations is running out. However, I tell them, ‘What is running out is the policy of exerting pressure.’” 
   
Commenting on the sanctions imposed on Iran over the allegation that it is seeking to produce nuclear weapons, the Iranian official stated, “Those who assume that they can exert pressure on the people or hinder Iran’s progress through sanctions must be aware that they are playing on our field. Following the path of pressure will only make the Iranian nation more resistant and united.”


In respect to the  talks between Iran and The P5+1 group in the 2009 meeting that took place in Geneva, The issue of 20 percent enriched uranium had been broached and Jalili said, “We told them (at the time), ‘If you are willing, we are ready to buy the fuel… otherwise, we will produce it ourselves.’”

During the conference he recounted that “However, I have never forgotten the smiles of certain people who had participated in the talks,” suggesting that Iran cannot produce the fuel.” he added.  “If Iran had been provided with 20 percent enriched nuclear fuel, it could not have succeeded in producing the fuel itself.” Intimating that Iranians are not technically adept at such achievements. 

Ahmadinejad and Obama

The scuttlebutt around Washington a few weeks ago was that a CIA operative had been negotiating with a member of the VEVAK, Iran's foreign intelligence equivalent of the CIA. The alleged messages that were exchanged came directly from President Obama and President Ahmadinejad. Through this shadowy exchange an agreement was reached in witch Iran would be able to continue to enrich uranium and keep what they had in their stock piles as long as the program stayed in conformance with the IAEA. This information was uncovered by Israel’s DEBKAfile when the Mossad exposed the backdoor dealings and in turn reported them  directly to PM Netanyahu. The PM immediately called Great Britain's PM David Cameron and France's president Nicolas Sarkozy asking the two leaders to intervene and “get a straight answer” from Obama. 


From the standpoint of Israel the Baghdad talks are critical to the Jewish states homeland security. PM Netanyahu is worried that the P5+1 will fall into a Iranian trap leading to Iran continuing their enrichment program covertly. This is one of the reasons why the PM is playing the “bad cop” and continues to speak with an iron tongue, to keep everyone on their toes. Playing the “good cop” Israel”s Defense Minister Ehud Barak came out with a written statement consenting to Iran's enrichment of uranium to a low level of 3.5 percent, as well as  allowing a few hundred kilograms of 3.5% enriched uranium to remain in that country. The DM's remarks were issued in good faith so that the P5+1 can continue their talks unabated. Other concessions like the ability to acquire fuel rods and plates for their research reactor may be on the table as well.

With Israel becoming more flexible on the low enriched product it is unlikely that they will budge on the more potent 20% uranium that is currently being produced and stockpiled. It will be at Israel’s insistence that any form of nuclear material enriched past 3.5% leave the country and any remaining low enriched material be monitored by the IAEA.

Russian suitcase nuke

Looking at the situation practically the Israeli stance makes a lot of sense from a negotiators point of view. If Iran were to achieve weapons grade 90% enrichment and build a warhead capable of being deployed strategically, a stable ICBM platform would still need to be developed. The development of such a system would be quit apparent to Iran watchers because of the extensive testing that would need to take place. The existing Shahab 3 platforms that Iran is using are just not capable of the performance needed for nuclear deployment. Taking the strategic weapon of the table for now what needs to be seriously considered is the tactical nuclear weapon. The small size and low yield is much more practical for the Iranians or any of their surrogates to deploy. For example a 10 kiloton tactical device can be launched from a land based mobile launcher or a shipboard launching system. They can be hidden in trucks cars or light planes. Even smuggled in from Gaza via their tunnel system and detonated above or below ground level. Depending on the means of deployment and detonation one 10 kiloton device would completely destroy a 2 mile radius of Tel Aviv killing 100,000 people. The after effects would be felt for years. 


The following paragraph was taken from a research paper written for the National Resources Defense Council and authored by Thomas B Cochran and Christopher E Paine. The paper was revised April 13 1995


“The Nagasaki bomb witch produced a 20 kiloton explosion with 6.1 kilograms of WGPu falls on the low technology curve, however only three kilograms of WGPu compressed the same amount would still have produced a 1 kt explosion. A non nuclear weapons state today can take advantage of the wealth of nuclear weapons design information that has been made public over the past 50 years, and do better. As seen in figure 1 to achieve yield of 1kt, we estimate that from1 to 3 kg of WGPu is required, depending upon the sophistication of the design. And from figure 2, we estimate that some 2 to 7 kg of HEU is required to achieve an explosive energy release of 1kt. Table 1 presents the same results of tabular from. We estimate, for example that as little as 2 kilograms of plutonium or about 4 kilograms of HEU are required to produce a yield of 10 kilotons.”

Leaving all that technical mambo-jumbo behind a “dirty bomb” is currently feasible now with the resources Iran possess in their inventory. A dirty bomb is comprised of a conventional explosive such as dynamite or C-4 plastic explosive. The size and weight of such a device can vary tremendously, from a hand carried suitcase to a fertilizer truck bomb. The bomb would be packaged with the uranium enriched to a low level or with the wast from nuclear reactors known as radioactive iodine. Deployment of such a device would probably take the form of a suicide bomber detonating the device in a enclosed environment such as a subway system, convention center or shopping mall.


Facts that can not be ignored by the P5+1 are that Iran and Syria are state sponsors of terrorism and have proven themselves to be resourceful at circumventing sanctions. Trusting the Iranians with with any type of radioactive material is a nightmare waiting to happen. Reuters news agency tweeted this morning that “Iran's foreign minister says Western pressure over nuclear program is futile in talks with world powers in Baghdad.” 

Green On Blue, What We Gonna Do?

An Afghan villager unlocks the door of a suspected homemade explosives factory for U.S. Army Spc. Timothy Rodgers in Afghanistan's Ghazni province, May 4, 2012. Rodgers is assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division's 1st Brigade Combat Team.

Afghan friendlies attacking coalition solders is becoming more common on bases in Afghanistan. These attacks of known as “green on blue attacks”. Most of these attacks result in the death of the Afghan as well as the coalition solder.The Defense Department believes recent incidents in which members of the Afghan National Security Forces have attacked their coalition trainers are individual acts of grievance, a senior DOD spokesman has said.
“It’s often difficult to determine the exact motivation behind an attacker’s crime because they are, very often, killed in the act,”

Navy Capt. John Kirby, deputy assistant secretary of defense for media operations, told reporters at the Pentagon.Kirby said these types of attacks have only been tracked since 2007. Fifty-seven such attacks, he added, have occurred during this time.
“Based on the limited evidence that we have been able to collect, we believe that less than half, somewhere in the neighborhood of three to four out of every 10 [attacks] is inspired, or resourced, or planned or executed by the Taliban or Taliban sympathizers, In other words, that it’s related to an infiltration attempt.”
Kirby said it may not even be a deliberate infiltration, but a “legitimate soldier or police officer [who] turned Taliban.”Yet, the majority of attacks, he said, are acts of individual grievance.
“You know how seriously affairs of honor are to the Afghan people,” Kirby said. “We believe, again, that most of these [attacks] are acted out as an act of honor for most of them representing a grievance of some sort.”


The spokesman said Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of International Security Assistance Forces in Afghanistan, believes the recent video of U.S. Marines urinating on the bodies of Taliban inspired at least one attack.Regardless of the motivations, Kirby emphasized the attacks leave lasting impressions on the families of the service members who’ve been killed.
“We believe the majority of all of them are individual acts of grievance, but look, that doesn’t lessen the pain for family members who suffer from this. It doesn’t lessen the importance of it whether it’s an act of infiltration or not. It’s an issue that we’re taking very, very seriously, But we don’t believe the majority of them are Taliban inspired, resource planned [or] executed.”

Wounded U.S. soldiers lie on the ground at the scene of a suicide attack in Maimanah, the capital of Faryab province north of Kabul, Afghanistan on Wednesday, April 4, 2012. A suicide bomber blew himself up, killing at least 10 people, including three NATO service members, officials said, the latest in a string of attacks as spring fighting season gets under way. A senior U.S. defense official has confirmed that two U.S. soldiers were among three NATO forces killed in a suicide bombing in northern Afghanistan.

British Army Lt. Gen. Adrian Bradshaw, ISAF’s deputy commander, told Pentagon reporters during a May 9 video teleconference from Kabul that Afghanistan’s National Army and police force are working to “root out this problem with great determination.” The general went on to to say that“We've had several hundred National Directorate of Security counterintelligence operatives now join the Afghan National Army on attachment,” Bradshaw told reporters. “They are embedded down to battalion level, and they are carrying out rigorous counterintelligence operations. The commanders are taking great note of where their people go on leave [and] whether their families have come under pressure.”


The British general said the vetting process for Afghan army and police recruits has been refined and there’s also “retrospective vetting of people in the force” with a “ruthless” approach to those members displaying signs of enemy complicity. “So a number of effective measures have been taken, and we continue to bear down on this problem very seriously indeed.”

On May 1, 2012 Pentagon Press Secretary George Little told reporters that Three Afghan men killed two U.S. troops in southern Afghanistan. “We believe there were three attackers, [and] two of the attackers were subsequently killed” by coalition forces. Our hearts go out to the families and the loved ones of the two U.S. service members who were killed.”


While precise details are unclear, Little said, reports indicate the two attackers who were killed were Afghan security force members, and the third was an Afghan civilian. He acknowledged a rise in so-called “green-on-blue” incidents involving Afghan army and police members killing NATO International Security Assistance Force troops. “These are troubling incidents when they occur, and we fully recognize that we’ve seen several of these incidents in recent weeks.”


U.S. military leaders are working to strengthen security measures at partnered facilities and to step up their scrutiny during vetting processes for Afghan army and police recruits, Little said.
“This has been something that has been on the radar screen … for some time,” he said. “This is a war zone. There’s no such thing as zero risk. But our strategy of working closely with [Afghan forces] is not changing.”


Little said U.S. forces will “stay the course” in Afghanistan. The overall trend in relations between the two sets of troops is positive. He noted some ISAF advisors have returned to work in select Afghan ministry buildings in the Afghan capital of Kabul. Marine Corps Gen. John R. Allen, commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, ordered all ISAF members to withdraw from such work locations after two U.S. officers were killed while working at the interior ministry Feb. 25.
Those killings and a reported 20 Afghan deaths occurred as violent protests swept Afghanistan after ISAF troops inadvertently burned religions materials, including Qurans, at a detention facility in Bagram, Feb. 21.

Allen’s order that some ministry advisors resume their duties in Afghan government buildings reflects the need for ISAF forces to maintain close coordination with their Afghan counterparts, Little noted.
“It’s important to get back to work.” 


Little said the transition of security lead to Afghan forces continues throughout the country, and completing that transition is ISAF’s goal. “Our commanders in the field … are staying focused on the mission [and] understand the stakes involved.” 


There is a “strong sense” among ISAF leaders in Afghanistan that “we must do everything we can to carry out the strategy, [which] we believe has been working some time.”

Green-on-blue incidents are particularly troubling, he acknowledged, but should not obscure the larger picture of overall progress in Afghanistan. The insurgency is “on its heels,” he added.
Afghan forces have suffered losses alongside their ISAF partners, including over the past days while “trying to tamp down the protests in Afghanistan, and to quell the violence,” Little said.
The strategy, approach and mission in Afghanistan are not changing, the press secretary emphasized. “Our mission is one of transition, and it’s working,” Little said. “We have over 300,000 [Afghan security forces] right now who are working alongside ISAF personnel to help secure their own country. And that’s the end state we are looking for here.”


War in Afghanistan has never been conventional, and it’s not contained within neat battle lines, he said. “But we’re working through it, and the Afghans are working in good faith with us to execute the strategy,” he added.

Chinese Invade US Military Installations.

Chinese delegation at SOCOM Miami Florida

China now spying in plain sight, the head honcho of China's military machine is currently touring military installations in the US. The country that steels our secrets, hacks our computers and manufactures toys covered in lead paint is now touring West Point, Camp Lejeune, U.S. Southern Command headquarters in Miami and the  Pentigon. On the eve of a major intelligence leek revealing that the latest AQAP bomb threat was uncovered by a double agent the Chinese must be thinking that Americans are fools and that the real chink in the American armor is in the White House.

Leon Panetta said in a press conference that China and the US have to develop better cooperation in relation to cyber-security. “But because the United States and China have developed technological capabilities in this arena it’s extremely important that we work together to develop ways to avoid any miscalculation or miss-perception that could lead to crisis in this area.”

Gen. Liang Guanglie, defended his countries actions vociferously through an interpreter he said that, “I can hardly agree with the proposition that the cyber-attacks directed to the United States are directly coming from China ... We cannot attribute all of the cyber-attacks (against the) United States to China.”

Geeks working in the government and the private sector have been consistent on the issue of China hacking proprietary information from American companies and the military. China has stolen everything from the tread pattern on Timberland boots to high-tech secret specifications on the F-22 raptor. China has been caught dead to rights with their hand in the American cyber cookie jar however the track-backs that have lead to China have not exposed any single government entity within Beijing.

By rolling out the red carpet for the Chinese is a major mistake by the Obama Administration to think that this visit will somehow form a bond between the two nations is just plain ludicrous. The Chinese will take this opportunity to use there cell phones to and i pads to document as much as possible. This guided tour of American military installations will not be a deterrent to the Chinese but an opportunity for a delegation their experts to better understand American week spots

Beijing refuses to acknowledge their cyber-spying activities and claims that they are also a victim of attacks. But in reality how many Chinese products are reverse-engineered and then reproduced to be sold on the world market. Chinese hackers that are backed and directed by Beijing commit the bulk of the cyber-attacks that aim to steal critical data from U.S. companies and government agencies. Estimates by information security analysts put the cost of stolen intellectual property and data by the Chinese in the billions of dollars.

Prior to WWII Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto spent many years in the US, form 1919 to 1921 he studied at Harvard and later the admiral was posted at the Japanese Embassy in Washington DC as a navel attache. In Yamamotos capacity as a navel attache he had opportunities to tour US navel facilities and during a tour of the US Navel War College the admiral was convinced that navel aviation was the wave of the future and he also developed his strategy of “gun boat diplomacy”. After analyzing what he experienced during his visits to navel installations Yamamoto remarked that the US Navy was made up of golfers and bridge players. With Samurai lineage Yamamoto was a disciplined officer devoted to his country and his service he could not understand why a nation like the US with its vast educational and industrial capability could not muster the best and the brightest into their Navel service. When his higher-ups decided to go to war with the US Yamamoto was against it because of what he experienced during his time in the US. A plane was devised to lure the American Navy across the pacific and the Japanese would pick them off one by one. The plane included engaging American forces it in a Decisive Battle in the northern Philippine Sea between the Ryukyu Islands and the Marianas Islands. This plane with battleships meeting in the traditional English “crossing the T” exchange between forces had many assumptions and many variables that Yamamoto disagreed with. Admiral Yamamoto came up with the one massive strike plane that was carried out at Pearl Harbor. The strike on Pearl Harbor was an attempt to strike the US Navy so hard in a single blow that they could not recover fast enough to complete any actions against Japan. However the American aircraft carriers where out at sea at the time of the strike. As a result Yamamoto's plane was only partially successful.

Japan went to war at that time over oil, rubber and their desire for expansionism. China is doing the same thing but they have chosen to do it on an economic, financial and technical battlefield. Today we are witnessing the Chinese expanding their Navy, exporting missile technology to North Korea and Iran, supplying weapons to Syria, undercutting economy in Europe and the US by monetary manipulation, so why are we letting the fox in the hen house? It is surly a mistake made by a naive, inexperienced and armature political strategy coming out of the White House. Mistakes in foreign and domestic policy seam to be the norm with the Obama administration the Next big blunder coming down the pike is the G8 in Chicago. Obama has begged Taliban leaders to join the meetings discussing the future of Afghanistan. The last time the Taliban was invited to the negotiating table it was at the Grand Peace Jirga in 2010 and the Taliban boycotted the Jirga and attempted to disrupt it through rocket firing and suicide bombing. That could be the reason why the airspace will be closed over Chicago during May 18, 19 and 20. The Taliban has held fast on their demands of their prisoners held in Bagram detention center and Guantanamo Bay should be released. (Taliban and al-Qaeda Terrorists currently being released as previously reported in Holders Terrorist's or Tourists) Foreign troops should immediately leave Afghanistan and at least 10 southern provinces should be surrendered to the Taliban where they can establish the Islamic Emirate style government that they formed in 1996.

What would Admiral Yamamoto be reporting to his supervises if he was in Washington today? Would it be Obama's handicap on the golf course or Obama being America's handicap in the White House?

The Martinez Link

Two dead in two days one killer? that is the question Saturday April 28, 2012 when the dead body of Regina Martinez was found in her home in the Mexican city of Xalapa, the capital of a coastal state Veracruz. A neighbor investigated after seeing the door to Martinez's home open all morning. Martinez an investigative reporter for the Magazine Proceso. After entering the home and discovering the body the neighbor called the local police. This places the murder of Martinez in her home during Friday evening or the early morning hours of Saturday. The police originally listed the cause of death as strangulation but her body was badly beaten and tortured most likely the killer was after information relating to a news story that she had reported on for the news magazine. The police suggested at the seine of the crime that Regina Martinez was killed trying to thwart a burglary in the home. The police noted that several items were missing such as a cell phone, a computer and a flat screen TV.

The burglary angle to the Martinez murder is an interesting one because on Friday a story that was published in Proceso authored by Martinez detailed the murder of a public official. ( “Ombudsman investigates the death of former leader Veracruz PRD” ) The story as reported April 27 2012 by Regina Martinez is reprinted hear in it entirety.

 Xalapa, Veracruz (approved). - The Attorney General of the State (PGJE) investigates the causes of death of the regional coordinator of the Social FA (FAS), Rogelio Martinez Cruz, which occurred on Thursday 26.

The PRD in Veracruz former leader was found dead in their home, located in Colonia Veracruz port Broken Bridge, to the prosecutors came to attest to the facts.

Following the ministerial diligence, the ruling body was taken to the Forensic Medical Service, in order to carry the autopsy.

Without even knowing the result, authorities ventured to give a first report in the sense that Martinez Cruz "died of natural causes."

This first assessment is at odds with the version of the current candidate for federal deputy for the Progressive Movement coalition, Uriel Flores Aguayo, who said family members and witnesses revealed that the house of the leader of FAS "was in complete disarray," and missing some personal belongings of the victim.

After lamenting the death of his partner, Flores Aguayo asked ministry officials to make a thorough investigation of the facts.

According to police sources, the body of former leader PRD, 47, was found around 10:00 am on Thursday 26, when several residents of the colony Broken Bridge came to his home to visit him and noticed that the door the house was open.

According to witnesses, upon entering the house they found the body of the former leader of the PRD city "lying on the ground lifeless," so he immediately gave to the authorities concerned.

It ruled that Martinez Cruz was killed to steal, because housing was "in a mess" and had disappeared a screen, a DVD and speakers.

Following the incident, the state leader of the Broad Front and former deputy local Social, Uriel Flores Aguayo asked the PGJE to investigate the case, because apparently the body of his companion showed signs of suffocation, "so we urge the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation, "he said yesterday.

The similarities are striking, it seams as though the two stories could be interchangeable, the obvious differences stand out but what about the underlying motives of the two murders. Solving the Rogelio Martinez Cruz murder will be the key in discovering the reasons why Regina Martinez was murdered. The killer and the facilitator most likely are one in the same.

Bring Out Your Dead

Mexico the most dangerous nation in the world and is under siege from narco-murders locked in a drug civil war. This past week in Mexico drug cartels have been displaying their murder victims like trophies in public. The dead have been found displayed in plain sight Friday morning, as if to convey the blood lust that the cartels are capable of. The gruesome sight of 9 bodies Hanging from a bridge in Nuevo Laredo with their hands bound hanging from the neck and showing signs of torture were found with a message displayed on the bridge overpass. The Message identified the 5 men and 4 woman as Gulf Cartel members and that they where killed by the Zeta Cartel. The display of the bodies was probably a waring to federal law enforcement in the US but most of all to the rival Gulf Cartel and Sinaloa Cartel. The dead were clearly visible from across the US border in Laredo Texas.

The same day a car described as a “safari vehicle” was discovered at the Customs Brokers Municipal Building with14 decapitated bodies inside. The headless bodies were in plastic trash bags. Following that discovery police found several ice coolers on the pedestrian bridge out side of Nuevo Laredo City Hall, A bomb disposal unit from the army was called in for fear that the coolers may have contained explosives. The coolers were found to contain the severed heads of  the 14 individuals previously found across town. The heads remain unidentified but in all likelihood they were members of Los Zetas and were killed in retaliation to the 9 dead bodies found hanging that morning.

Text of banner in Spanish

“Pinches golfas, así me los voy a ir acabando a todos los pendejos que mandes a calentar la plaza. Les voy a ir poniendo en su madre, en algo la tienen que cagar, y ahí le vamos a poner en su madre al pinche gringo, ahí está todo puto poniendo carros bomba y el pinche Juanito Carrizales todo puto porque le mate al pinche joto del Tubi que estaba llore y llore como vieja parturienta y el pinche metro 4 ahí andabas pidiéndole chicle al comandante Lazcano cuando te traía a puros vergazos, el R1 en Reynosa puto y ahora ahí andas de pinche mitotero, pero está bueno, ahí está tu pinche gente, los otros se me pelaron, pero ahí me los voy a chingar, al rato caen puto. Ahora ahí nos vemos bola de parapatras puto”

The banner text translated to English courteous of Borderland Beat

“Fucking (Golfos) whores, this is how I’m going to finish off every fucker you send to heat up the plaza. You have to fuck up sometime and that’s when I’m gonna put you in your place. That’s when we are going to fuck up "El Gringo" that keeps setting off car bombs, Juanito Carrizales that keeps crying like a bitch because I killed that fucker "El Tubi",  "El Metro 4" who asked Comandante Lazcano for mercy when he was kicking the shit out of him, "El R1" in Reynosa, now you’re pitching a fit, that’s OK, I left you your guys, the others got away, but Ill get them. Sooner or later. See you around fuckers.”


The reference to A car bomb is most likely the April 24th attack on the justice center in Nuevo Laredo that houses the State Police of Tamaulipas. That attack seamed to be largely symbolic because only minimal damage was sustained by the building and no police officers or public officials were injured however a man a young boy sustained injuries from the blast. The army and State Police responded and quickly sealed off the aria. The operation was without a doubt under surveillance by Sinaloa Cartel observers, once the police and military formed up at the blast sight then 2 grenades were hurled into the police cordoned aria triggering 2 vans with gunmen firing automatic weapons. Fortunately for the police and army soldiers the drive-by shooters were wildly inaccurate and no casualties resulted from the attack. A elaborate banner was found at the Customs building and it was a warning to Mayor Benjamin Galvan of Nuevo Laredo from The Sinaloa Cartels leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

The long standing feud between the Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel has left the Golfos seriously weakened, subsequently the Zetas have dominated the illicit drug trade on the eastern shore of Mexico. The Sinaloa Cartels  leader Joaquin” El Chapo” Guzman taking responsibility for the attack on the justice complex in Nuevo Laredo is just another shot across the Zeta's bow in an attempt to take control over the entire northern border of Mexico. Currently the Gulf Cartel has a hold on a small portion of the border in the aria of Matamoros Mexico just across the border from Brownsville Texas in the US. In a desperate move to save his the Gulf Cartel organization it seams that Juan Reyes Mejía González known as “El-R1”the leader of the Rojos faction of the Golfos has struck a deal with El Chapo. The Sinaloa Cartel boss has made several alliances in the past that has increased his territory and power in Mexico. One of the biggest alliances he has formed is with Eric Holder and Barack Obama the Attorney General and President of the United States. El Chapo is just very well connected because there is nobody on the planet that is lucky enough to be getting away with the crimes that he and his associates are charged with. One example of his LUCK is the fact that Emma Coronel, his 22-year old wife and a former beauty queen, crossed into the U.S. in mid-July of 2011 and gave birth to her twin daughters on Aug. 15 at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, California. Birth certificates listed Coronel, who holds U.S. citizenship, as the mother but the spaces for the father’s name are blank. The FBI calmed that they tracked the Pregnant woman from her home in Mexico to the hospital. So did the FBI track her movements back? How hard would it be to track a 22 year old woman with newborn twins back to Mexico so she could present the newborn AMERICAN offspring to their drug kingpin farther?

It seams as though tracking newborn twins is just as difficult as tracking illegally purchased firearms to Mexico that ended up in the position of the Sinaloa Cartel. El Chapo is certainly on the move in Mexico his organization is on a rampage and the American White House seams to be helping the man that is on the list of Mexico's 10 wealthiest people.

The known death toll attributed to the “War on Drugs” in Mexico for one week is 43. Those are the ones that have been reported or found. Some of the dead have been journalists murdered for reporting on crimes by criminal organizations, government officials, military and police personnel. These people died for doing their job in an honest way to inform the citizens of Mexico.

The Los Zetas will continue to kill their opposition and post their signs, the Sinaloa's will continue to kill their opposition and post their signs, the journalists with back bones will continue to post their stories and die, the police will continue to bring out the dead.

“True, This! —

Beneath the rule of men entirely great,

The pen is mightier than the sword. Behold

The arch-enchanters wand! — itself a nothing! —

But taking sorcery from the master-hand

To paralyze the Caesars, and to strike

The loud earth breathless! — Take away the sword —

States can be saved without it!”

Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton

I killed Osama Bin Laden: You Cant Say That, Mr President.

May 1 2012 President Obama was taking his victory lap in Afghanistan with his top secret transcontinental trip to Bagram AFB meant to boost his popularity. In an attempt to reinforce his status with the Military and the American people the Prez was on a mission to confirm his hero status using the excuse of an agreement signing with his co-conspirator President Hamid Karzai. In doing so he only reinforced the fact that he is with out a doubt the American narcissist in chief. President Obama and his speech writers realized that by addressing the troops and American People from a war zone he needed to deliver a speech with a conservative slant or he would loose the retired and current military vote. So he went on about how the American military did their service admirably, and he was right in his withdrawal strategy.

Pandering to the military a few days earlier by addressing the troops at Fort Stewart, GA the president signed an executive order regulating collage recruiters and restricting their activities on military bases. In an attempt to tie-in his campaign of student loan restructuring to collage age voters the Prez is pandering to recent collage age Americans and soon to be discharged  servicemen and woman looking to take advantage of their GI benefits package. President Obama painting a picture of predatory collage recruiters pandered to the troops by intimating that the recruiters are making a fortune in commission by deceiving brain damaged warriors and signing them up for courses they could not possibly complete. 


President Obama with his I Killed Osama Bin Laden presidential campaign is blowing up in his face right before our eyes. He has chosen to enlist ex-president Clinton for the purpose of narrating a campaign commercial touting his distorted heroic view of his participation in the Operation that killed OBL. Operation Neptune's Spear as it is officially known was conceived by Admiral William McRaven, he hand picked the operators oversaw their training and coordinated the entire operation from his command at JSOC. Admiral McRaven reported to the CIA's Leon Panetta and Panetta in turn reported to the president. The CIA developed the operational intelligence by means of enhanced interrogation through Operation Rendition, on the ground in Pakistan gathering human intelligence and through electronic means. This operation was 100% out of the hands of the White House till the time came for the briefing so  President Obama could give his blessing and Neptune's Spear could go real world.

Just a reminder to Americans the ones that keep you safe are not in the White House, or in the House of Representatives or the Senate but they are the ones in the dirt, with a gun and a knife. They are the ones in far away lands hiding in the shadows laying their lives on the line often unarmed but always on guard. They are the ones that come home incomplete leaving a limb behind from an IED blast. Some come home so mentally scared that life will be an existence of torture, and many commit suicide. Some come home draped in the flag that they love and fought for, paying the ultimate sacrifice so the United States remains the bastion of freedom that we all enjoy. 


During President Obama's narcissistic lap of personal glory Army Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond Odierno presented the Slver Star to Sgt. M. Joshua Laughery at Fort Polk, La. The very same day the president was blowing his own horn Sgt. Laughery received his medal that others nominated him for. The Silver Star citation honoring him for his gallantry in action during a battle in Afghanistan's Wardak province on Sept. 12, 2011 distinguishes him for extraordinary heroism In action against an enemy of the United States. People like the operators of SEAL team 6 and Sgt Laughery are the heros that keep this nation safe not the empty suits wandering the halls of federal buildings in Washington DC, with very few exceptions. The next time your at the super market and you see a service man or woman say thank you because he/she is not just a cog in the military machine but is a hero in their own way. Decorated, or not, these people are truly the ones that deserve the respect of the American people not the politicians that spend millions of other peoples money to get into their office and maintain their dishonest and corrupt lifestyles. Barak Hussein Obama would not know duty, honor or country if they came up and bit him on the ass.
