Welcome from the borderland of far West Texas

Recent developments in México may soon lead to historical changes in that country and could have dire consequences for us as well.
New drug cartel aliances and more ruthless behavior have led to beheadings, executions, torture and extortion at an unprecedented level. Few of these events are being reported in English in the US. We provide English translations of Spanish articles appearing in Mexican newspapers and on Mexican news sites along with a few pertinent videos produced here in the US.
