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.

The Killing Continues in the State

Killing Continues in Chihuahua State

This article appeared in El Ágora de Chihuahua on August 5, 2008. This translation is rendered as closely as possible to the original wording. (See the orginal article here).

Ciudad Juárez – August 6, 2008 – A former agent of the Municipal Police of Chihuahua died today during a clash between gangs of drug traffickers in the city of Delicias, while in the meantime the owner of a lot of cars and his assistant were executed in Chihuhua when they were within their office.

The event in Delicias occurred in the afternoon when Luis Rodriguez Pacheco, who was a ex-police officer of the municipality of Chihuahua, died in a clash between gangs of drug traffickers. Additionlly, another person named Eloy Renteria was reported injured.

The execution occurred at South San Pedro River Street and Second Street in the downtown area, generating an intense police mobilization ending in the detection of an abandoned Suburban truck, inside which were found weapons and traces of blood.

Moments before in Chihuahua, two men including the owner of a car lot called ''Bravo Automotive,'' which is located on Technological Street at Walnut Street, was found murdered.

So far the names of those killed have not been released, but unofficially it was learned they were the owner of the place and his assistant.
