The Drug Cartel 3/24/09

 

Last week I traveled to the state capital, Austin, Texas.  I was invited by Rebecca Forest, founder of IRCOT, a non profit advocacy group which identifies and supports legislators and legislation strong on homeland security and national border control.

 

I had been looking forward to the opportunity to discuss current issues affecting our country, specifically the illegal invasion of individuals aligned with the Mexican Drug Cartel.  I was not however, prepared for the ominous account Ms. Forest shared with me regarding our battle with the drug cartel.

 

Recently there have been a handful of news stories about “suspected”
murders that took place which “may” have been motivated by drug money and perpetrated by gang members. These infrequent but compelling stories raised my level of interest and apprehension.  However, listening to Rebecca describe the ongoing atrocities being committed by these foreign born gangs elevated my level of concern to an entire new level of anxiety.  The sophistication of the organizational structure, the advanced technical equipment and resources in place and openly utilized by these organizations forces me to question where the media is in this war on “narco-terrorism”.  One should consider the media to be complaisant in their reporting if not negligent in this direct and ongoing attack on American society.

 

Allow me to share with you a high level review of what we as a country are up against in this drug war.  First of all the drug cartel is utilizing the most advanced and sophisticated communication tools available in today’s technology driven world.  I am referring to advanced satellite surveillance and communications between the leaders of the cartel based in Latin America and the “ground troops” deployed here in the USA.  The ground troops are comprised of both foreign born illegal immigrants and US citizens.  Illegals are often members of notorious gangs you may be somewhat familiar with.  The most notorious of these various dreadful groups are MS 13 and the Mexican Mafia.

 

These sophisticated organizations are expanding their influence across Texas and throughout America by recruiting members from our schools, communities and prisons.  As a recruit they are trained in murder, torture, blackmail and an assortment of life destroying techniques. The training often takes place abroad.  Unfortunately a US recruit has the ability to travel across borders at will which benefits the cartel enormously.  Once trained and deployed these domestic narco-terrorists await orders from the cartel.  They are placed on a “retainer” of $500.00 a month.  In addition they are supplied with large quantities of cocaine and are monetarily compensated $50,000.00 for every “hit”
performed.

 

You may be aware the city of Phoenix, Arizona received the ominous distinction as the American city with the most abductions and kidnappings. Many of these missing individuals will never be seen again as gang members are often instructed to incinerate the bodies in specially prepared containers smuggled into our country specifically for this purpose.

 

The amount of money involved in the drug trade is mind-boggling.
Subsequently the ability to compromise and corrupt individuals who are responsible for protecting our sovereignty is all too possible.  Indeed as citizens we often feel confused and betrayed when our representatives fail to implement and enforce the common sense measures to effectively
secure our borders.   I am not accusing any particular individual of
corruption; however, we must be diligent in recognizing blackmail, and payoffs are indeed achievable when one considers the billions of dollars flowing within the drug trade.

 

With all this considered, NCDAS has decided to assist IRCOT and allocate our resources and political capital behind several House Bills currently under consideration.  NCDAS will endeavor to meet in person with the various legislators sponsoring immigration related bills and legislators who have not committed to voting for the bills.

 

Although NCDAS has as a policy of concentrating on national sovereignty issues, I believe the battle of our borders is indeed paramount to maintaining our society and subsequent freedom.  I am concerned that as the cartel gains a stronger footing in America and potentially within our government, we as citizens will pay the ultimate price.

 

It seems to me the innocent often loose their rights and freedoms when the government is faced with crime and terrorism, (as in the second amendment).  I for one want to take the battle to the enemy and defend our country.  As in any military campaign, the first order of business is to secure your front line.  In this case the front line is our southern border.  It is time to build the wall we were promised.

 

We must take control of our countries borders, for a country with no borders will not survive as a nation for long.

 

I want to thank Rebecca Forest of IRCOT for meeting with NCDAS and for her continuing diligence in defending American sovereignty.

 

GOD Bless America!
