    Default Cartel member leads Mexican authorities to secret mass grave.

    Just another day in Meh-he-ko. Shame on Trump for wanting to keep these savages on their side of the fence.

    A tip from a cartel member led Mexican police to a secret site containing more than 30 graves in the state of Veracruz.

    Each grave may contain several people, Mexican authorities said, according to The Daily Mail.


    The site covers such a large area that Jorge Winckler, the Veracruz State attorney general, said, 'We will begin the extraction of remains, but we do not know how long it will take us.”

    Workers began digging up the area on Wednesday, and have only recovered remains from about 10 percent of the entire area were many more graves are believed to be, the newspaper said.

    Secret mass graves have become commonplace in Mexico, where tens of thousands of people are reported missing. Cartels tend to be behind the secret grave sites, where they discard people they kidnapped or rivals they have killed.

    Lucia Diaz, whose son, Guillermo Lagunes Dias, has been missing since he was kidnapped in 2013, was quoted by The Daily Mail as saying: 'It shows what we already know -- that Veracruz is strewn with corpses. That is the reality of the state and of Mexico.”


    The discovery of the mass grave in Veracruz comes just days after Mexican officials confirmed the discovery of up to 30 bodies in clandestine burial sites in the state of Sonora.

    Veracruz has been the scene of bloody turf battles between the Zeta and Jalisco drug cartels, but the state also has suffered waves of kidnappings and extortions. In September, authorities found a mass grave -- one of the largest in recent years -- with 168 human skulls in Veracruz State. Prosecutors found the field after a witness told them that "hundreds of bodies" were buried there. Investigators used drones, probes and ground-penetrating radar to locate the pits.

    Violence in Mexico has worsened in the last year, with homicides running at their highest rate on record and surpassing the previous peak set in 2011.

    Earlier this month, a woman with gunshot wounds was executed inside an ambulance in Mexico’s Pacific state of Guerrero, and paramedics were reportedly beaten by the perpetrators.


    Recently, the archdiocese of the central state of Puebla said in a statement that Rev. Ambrosio Arellano Espinoza, a 78-year-old priest, was apparently tortured during a robbery attempt. It said he had been found with severe burns on his hands and feet, but was at a hospital in stable but serious condition.

    While hundreds of mass grave sites date back to the height of the drug war from 2010 to 2016, some are more recent

    Whatever you do don’t fight for your country. Just run away.

    Sort of my point. A mainstream Mex might have an old musket or maybe a sword squirreled away somewhere. A cartel kid has access to .50's, RPG's, grenades, every sort of machine gun ever made, .45 pistols laying around like autumn leaves...

    A lot of people don't get this, but it's true. If a cartel shows up at your door, you either agree to work for them or they kill you and your family.

    Yep. You can go from being a wealthy landowning farmer to raking yards in South Carolina in a heartbeat down there...

    Yep, and the cartels have their hands in the smuggling business from multiple articles and documentaries I have seen. (You probably have a better pulse on their culture, zero offense intended.) Is that true?

    I have told this story on here before.
    My boss of 15 years lives and deer hunts in Texas, his buddy owns a ranch close to the border.
    A few years ago, my boss climbs a ladder and opens the door to the box blind atop it and there is a large duffel bag in it.
    He calls his buddy and tells him; landowner buddy says, "just move to another stand as soon as possible and don't mess
    with it.
    Later that evening, landowner tells him he has seen that before and if you want to live, you "see nothing/hear nothing around here".
    Also said, scouts were probably watching thru binoculars or drones the whole time. Also says he has never been approached or made a deal
    by any smugglers but goes to the mail box once or twice a year and has a Christmas bonus envelope from an unknown source.
    Now you can be quick to say that the landowner is part of the problem or you can realize he just wants to keep himself and his family alive.

    One of my main employees and one of my best friends came here when he was 15 from Guerrero Mexico. He came because his dad had cancer and he couldn’t make enough money there to provide any type of care or treatment. He laid between mattress on a truck. He worked and sent most of his money back home. His dad died when he was 18. Fearing the rising cartel he did not return home. He earned his citizenship in 2009. Fast forward to 2012 and he found that his mom who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011 was not doing well he still did not go back. I even offered to pay and or go with him. Still he would not go. For days I could see how heavily it weighed on him and I insisted he go back and be with his dying mother but he wouldn’t. I talked to his wife and she explained what was happening on the border when folks like him were approached by the cartel to be mules. It’s either oblige or get your head cut off or the likes. I’ve tried to put myself in his shoes during that situation and I simply can’t. No matter the race or nationality you just never know what someone else is dealing with

    MEXICAN SOLDIERS QUESTION, DISARM TWO U.S. ARMY TROOPS IN APPARENT CONFUSION ABOUT BORDER LOCATION, INCIDENT DOCUMENTS REVEAL
    By James LaPorta On 4/19/19 at 7:58 PM EDT

    Two U.S. Army soldiers sat in an unmarked Chevrolet Tahoe owned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the west side of an El Paso County, Texas, Colonia known as Las Pampas.

    It was April 13, and the Army sergeant and private had set up a hasty observation post north of the Rio Grande River, but south of the border fence in U.S. territory. The soldiers were members of B Battery, 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington.

    The unit, part of the southwest border mission President Donald Trump first ordered in October 2018, recently had their deployment extended to September.

    At roughly 2:00 p.m. local time, the soldiers observed five to six individuals dressed in green pixelated military camouflage uniforms and carrying weapons, which appeared to be FX-05 Xiuhcoatl, an assault rifle designed and built for the Mexican armed forces.

    The armed men swiftly approached the U.S. service members, crossing over from the Mexican side of the Rio Grande River into U.S. territory, ordering the soldiers out of their vehicle at gunpoint.

    What transpired on that afternoon of April 13 near the small town of Clint, Texas, underscores the confusion between the physical location of the border fence and where the geographical U.S.-Mexico border begins and ends.


    In Texas, the border fence does not align perfectly with the topography of the precise location of the U.S.-Mexico border—this creates a buffer zone between the actual, often invisible, border and the fence.

    Additionally, while parts of the Texas border with Mexico are fenced, much of it is not because of a variety of issues, including ongoing litigation, private-property rights, treaty provisions, and floodplains.

    Newsweek obtained a copy of the serious incident report generated 30 minutes after Mexican military members briefly detained and held at gunpoint U.S. military service members after believing the U.S. Army soldiers were in Mexican territory when in fact, the Mexican military had unknowingly crossed into U.S. territory. The report was reviewed by U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Timothy D. Gatlin, the commander of 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment and briefed to U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Buchanan, the commanding general of U.S. Army North.

    The U.S. Army soldiers said the Mexican soldiers moved tactically fast on the unmarked CBP vehicle. The Army soldiers did not have enough reaction time to activate a 911 emergency on their Nano Shout, a cell-phone size two-way satellite GPS tracking device, which also doubles as an emergency beacon when soldiers are in need of additional U.S. military units.

    Speaking in Spanish, the Mexican soldiers instructed the sergeant and the private to move to the front of their vehicle where they were “gently searched," according to the incident report.

    The sergeant’s service pistol, the Beretta M9, was removed from his hip by the individuals and thrown inside the unmarked U.S. government vehicle.

    The U.S. service members reported they did not see “any identifiable seals or symbols on the individual’s vehicle,” and “could not identify any patches or name tapes on the uniform except for the Mexican flags.”

    The Deputy Director of public affairs for NORAD and U.S. Northern Command John Cornelio said in a statement to Newsweek on Friday a joint inquiry by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Defense Department revealed the gunmen to be Mexican military members, who believed the U.S. Army soldiers were south of the Mexican border.

    “After a brief discussion between the soldiers from the two nations, the Mexican military members departed the area. The U.S. soldiers immediately contacted CBP, who responded quickly. Throughout the incident, the U.S. soldiers followed all established procedures and protocols,” the statement said.

    The U.S. service members reported hearing someone from the south side yell “Vamonos” in Spanish. The Mexican military members went back to their vehicle, described as a “dark blue Ford pickup truck with a tactical rack in the back.”

    The Ford pickup departed the area, heading westbound on the Mexican levee. The U.S. service members did not see any identifiable seals or symbols on the dark blue pickup truck.

    After the encounter, the service members notified CBP by service radio. CBP agents responded to their location roughly 10-12 minutes after the incident, according to the report.

    Once on site, the CBP agents back-tracked the footprints of the Mexican military members and determined the individuals entered U.S. territory about 50 feet north of the Rio Grande River, said the Army’s serious incident report.

    Members of 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment responded to the location to check on the well-being of their soldiers.

    Fucking field artilery says everything you need to know. Probably the most ate up sector of our military. While under fire I have joked with a buddy asking him if it was bad enough to call for fire. He replied “it’s not that bad yet. I’m still alive”. I’ll never understand how we can track a cell phone to within 3’ but a GPS guided artilery round can miss by several kilometers
    Seeing these soulless vanilla ice lookin Yankees on a bassboat is worse than watching a woman get her implants taken out. It's just wrong. Get back in your Lund and go back to infisherman.
