This is just sad and my heart goes out to the families of the deceased. The infant daughter will now grow up without her parents, all because of the brutal acts of cowards.
   Now on to some thoughts with this.  We must do a better job at containing the border, and we must do […]

   Fascinating.  These guys have definitely tapped into a drug dealing business model that is far more superior than the major cartels. Small de-centralized  businesses, all getting their heroin from one region in Mexico, and distributing it ‘pizza delivery style’. lol And get this, they are focused on customer service and satisfaction.  Did the Xalisco […]

   This is a fascinating look at the inner workings and organizational methods of a drug cartel.  This is pure free market warfare, but practiced by thugs.  This is like pre-Westphalia stuff, and certainly deserves some attention if you are a student of the drug war and narco-terrorism.
    I also look at these cartels like […]

   This is good to hear, and I am glad that Steele is getting in there with some value added and highly organized services.  What is also interesting, is that most of my readership in Mexico, comes from Monterrey.  So for you guys reading the blog, congrats and I hope business goes well for you […]

   You learn something new all the time.  I am sure there are numerous tattoos and symbols that these drug cartels are rallying around, but this one is pretty unique.  At least law enforcement has another way to identify these jackasses.
    The other little piece of interest in this story, is about Senor B.  He […]

    Big news with the drug war down south.  The Mexican Navy kills Beltran Leyva, a major drug boss with a two million dollar bounty on his head.  No word if anyone actually collected on that bounty.
    The other story that grabbed my attention is the new security jefe in Tijuana.  This guy is definitely […]

   Now this is ridiculous. Yet again, my solution to this is simple.  The Mexican government should issue Letters of Marque and Reprisal to companies, both foreign and domestic, and give them the legal authority to destroy the cartels and get a […]

   This is a show I would like to see.  Oatman is famous in the executive protection (EP) world, and the courses he teaches are fantastic from what I have heard.  It is definitely on my list for future training. R.L. Oatman is also the author of several excellent books on the subject of EP and security.

      I apologize for laughing, but come on?  Obviously these guys have not done their homework with researching the track record of the U.N.
     You don’t bring in peacekeepers, when there is no peace to keep. The cartels and drug gangs would use blue helmets for target practice, and then go back to […]

 ”Even acting outside the limits of my role as mayor, I will end the kidnappings, extortions and drug trafficking. We are going to do this by whatever means, fair or foul.”
Asked if his new squad would operate outside the law, Mr. Fernández said: “In some ways, that’s right. What the criminals want is that they […]
