Topaz Posted March 14, 2009 Report Posted March 14, 2009 I was watching C-Pac and they were airing the US committee on Mexico and the drug war. It seems the drug industry is making 60-80 BILLION and some how the money is getting into the US and the committee wanted to know how. One Rep. said that in the Houston paper reported that the drug cartel were ordered to kill this guy wearing a Dallas shirt and that he would be at this certain restaurant, well a guy walked out wearing a Dallas shirt and he was killed but it was the wrong guy. They got the right guy the next day with 3 bullets to the head the next morning when he opened hios door. The committee is now saying the drug war in Mexico is now spilling over in the US and its more important than the two others wars they are in. Quote

Henry Kissinger tried to bring Latin America to the US's attention back in '91 Having travelled/lived/worked in Mexico for over 25 years now the latest news doesn't disturb me at all, the closer one is to the USA the worse the drug violence is-it was ever thus.

I've heard one US company is post-poning some of it s work at its mexican plant and brought it up to Texas because of the violence. It may be old news but those US senators were very concerned over the Mexican/ US border and the killings. Quote

gradkiss Posted March 19, 2009 Report Posted March 19, 2009 US Senators are some of the most clueless people extant. I was in Mexico about one year ago, and really enjoyed it...I did not notice anything unusual...seems though that when the US gets intop finacial trouble...as history will show...the uS always finds a deversion. I laugh, because...I noticed too, you'll start hearing again about UFO's and that Big Foot...lol I read the day before about the military buildup in Russia...plus today, I read iran is going to get a missle band from Russia. Just south of Mexico, is a place that gives the women the profits from their oil...plus gives donations to Veitnam...Russia is backing them. The US wants what Mexico has...it has oil and mineral reserves that are $'s in those old Senator's eyes...that's about the case. As I have told others...the Dollar is not backed...there are many policys in Washington...that are disparaging the people. Such are taxes...in the 1800's...they had a civil war...then they wrote the 13th amendment...seems that did not work...so they wrote the 14th amendment...themn Congress wrote the 15th...that enabled them to tax in any amount...no matter what the census was or the several states said. In other words...we are still enslaved...and they are not descriminating 100 percent...they do it to everyone... It's stupid to get paid, as government officials do...then turn around and tax themselves. But , back to the subject....I have lots of hopes for Mexico....especially in the future , for the Snow Birds...oh never come here to Long Beach, California...you'll end up with a ticket....lol Quote
