US Army Special Forces Trained Mexican Cartel Members

Founders of the Zetas drug gang learned special forces techniques at Ft. Bragg before waging a campaign of carnage.

(U.S. BORDER WITH MEXICO) - It was a brutal massacre even by the gruesome standards of Mexico’s drug war: 72 migrant workers gunned down by the "Zetas" - arguably the country's most violent cartel.

How Drug Money is Buying Our New Congress

Supreme Court ruling is a drug baron's dream...

(CINCINNATI) - Republicans and “Tea Party” candidates are expecting to take over congress in a very few days, a “big win” totally underwritten with drug money. There is no secret about it. By June, $200 million in “foreign” contributions had already come into the GOP and Tea Party and not one cent of it is accounted for.

It is “corporate” money, money that doesn’t have to be American, doesn’t have to be legal, money that would put any normal American in prison for years if they had one cent in their pockets.

Fighting Femicide in the Americas

Terrorizing Women: Femincide in the Americas, is a book that examines women’s murders in Mexico, Central America and South America.

(LAS CRUCES, N.M.) - In a room hidden away in the basement floor of a campus building, gut-wrenching images greeted visitors.

A “life-size collage” constructed like a statue projected women’s faces, missing persons posters, death masks and other snapshots of sexual violence. Nearby, a poster of a skeleton and blind-folded girl depicted the “duality” of femicide (also known as feminicide) in the form of a victim coming back to life to give a potential victim advice.

US Special Forces are Operating in Mexico

On the surface US military intervention in Mexico might be justified. However we must remind ourselves that in the past the underlying motives for US incursions have been based around economic investment issues.
