Why won't the US classify cartels as terrorists?
#3

Tony the terrible was based in Matamoros Mexico which is just south of Brownsville Texas. He was paying the Mexican Marine commander a certain amount of money each month to keep their hands off his local chapter of the of the Gulf Cartel.

When the Zetas ran/were in Matamoros the whole city just about shut down. If you drove a bus an made 25$ a week the Zetas wanted 20%. Businesses were required to pay protection fees. No pay and you and your family could be killed. The Gulf cartel was a kinder gentiler Cartel..

Another Cartel ( I do not remember who now)wanted to move into Matamoros so they made contact with the Marine commander and offered more money per month. Not even a week later the Marines attacked Tony's hacienda with 3 APCs; one of the APCs had a quad 50 Caliber. Not sure but I seem to remember there were about 100 Marines involved in the attack. Tony was killed as were all the Cartel soldiers except for 4 individuals who escaped and came to Houston to hide out; they were all dual citizens of Mexico and USA. Mexico is a Narco State and many cities in the USA are home distribution and money laundry bases for certain cartels.

Yep does not make a pretty picture but it is the way it is/was.
I am far removed from that crap however anyone who wants to know a bit more you can check out one of the better sites called Borderland Beat  https://www.borderlandbeat.com/2024/05/c...es-in.html

Quote:At 18 seconds into this broadcast the agonizing moans of a dying man can be heard loud and clear. His head is being violently removed with what looks to be an 8 inch knife by a right handed assassin. The cameraman pulls back from the close range recording to reveal that the victims arms and legs were removed beforehand.

Quote:A former U.S. Border Patrol agent was sentenced to 87 months in prison Friday after his previous conviction on drug distribution and bribery charges.
“The level of the betrayal here is a reflection of Mr. Hernandez’s greed, of his individual betrayal," said Tara McGrath, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of California.
55-year-old Hector Hernandez admitted he took bribes to smuggle narcotics and people across the U.S./Mexico border while on duty.
“Public servants take an oath, and when we take that oath, we honor it and we stand by it,” said McGrath.
When there is this much money involved the Cartels can buy just about anyone at any place.
