Two Buses Fire bombed in Ciudad Quetzal
Two buses went up in flames this morning (Wed) when unknown attackers threw a firebomb in one, and sprayed the other in gasoline before torching it also. The buses belong to a man being investigated for a bombing on January 3rd which killed nine people. The National Police are investigating whether the attack is a vendetta. The owner of the one bus is believed to have bought it with extortion money. However, a union official believes the attacks are for failure to pay extortion of about Q300,000 per month, which is over $37,000 US. He estimated the losses would amount to Q200,000.

More than 30,000 Children Work with Criminal Groups
(Mexico City) The head of the Human Rights Commission for the Federal District says that over 30,000 children are involved with criminal groups, and commit some 22 types of crimes. He said that the problem is that from an early age children and adolescents have no institutional mechanisms to access their rights, like education, health, in the case of adolescents to work, which means this generates a breeding ground for recruitment into the ranks of organized crime,”he said.

Mexico is and has been a failed state for quite some time. Most everything that is read or view on national TV minimizes the violence and supports the Mexican government.
The drug cartels rule and run Mexico with almost no exceptions, the police and military may have small sucesses here and there with arrests and confiscations of drugs and firearms, but they are well beyond their means of control of the country.
Mexico’s future looks dim and it dims further with each passing month.

We must keep calling, faxing and emailing our representatives until the get tired enough to do the right thing. Americans are being murdered – the latest, a missionary, who was shot on her way home with her husband. Washington doesn’t care. If it did, they would have brough our troops home and lined the border with them. The corrupt third world country of Mexico has declared war on us. They are winning by stealth occupation, and now by killing our citizens. And if anyone has noticed, our government stays silent and doesn’t ever demand an investigation. They are turning our country over to uneducated, poverty-stricken criminals who should never be allowed to apply for citizenship if they’ve once broken into our country. Keep after your reps until they act!
