Notice how little coverage of the Drug War in Mexico gets in the main stream media?  After all, more people have been killed in Mexico, in the last three years, than in Afghanistan or Iraq.  Mexico is just “south of the border” from the U.S.

If you don’t mind the Spanish language, or gory pictures and video, then go to Narco Blog.

This “war” in Mexico is not about drugs, but about controlling the people of Mexico through chaos.

One of the interesting things I’ve noticed is that most of the victims of mass killings are poor migrant workers, many not even from Mexico.  I often wondered at the logistics of some of the mass killings, because it would take a lot of personnel, and organization to pull it off, you know like a military or police force.

One mass killing involved hitting the people in the head with a sledge hammer!  How do you get 20-30 people to stand still while you hit them with a sledge hammer?  For one thing you’d need a lot of people of your own, with weapons, to intimidate the victims.  On top of that investigators say heavy equipment was used to bury many of the mass killing victims.  Sounds like an organized operation involving a lot of logistical planning. Well, several weeks ago a Police chief and at least 25 police officers were arrested in connection with one mass killing.  Mmmm

The “drug gangs” are blamed for the mass killings, but what about the continuing arrests of police and military personnel for their connection to many killings?  This could indicate that the “drug gangs” are so powerful that they’ve taken over government agencies.  Or it could be that this really isn’t about “drugs”.

Several survivors of kidnappings say they were being used as ransom to raise money for the gangs, or being forced to join them.  This goes against the idea that the drug gangs are making money from drug trafficking.  If they’re making billions every year from trafficking drugs into the United States, why do they need to hold poor people hostage for money?   One farmer could only pay half a ransom, so the gangs returned to him only half of his son.

Logic will tell you the main reason why people get involved in drug trafficking is to get lots of money.  It doesn’t make sense to waste that money going around killing a lot of poor people, and it makes even less sense to kidnap poor people for money they don’t have!

The other concern is why would gangs want to impress poor people into their ranks?  The more personnel you have in your illegal drug trafficking operation, the more you have to divide any profit from your sales.

This thing in Mexico is starting to look and sound like whats going on in parts of the Middle East and North Africa, only on a bigger scale.  In the predominantly Muslim world, so called al-Qaeda is kidnapping for ransom, forcing people to join them, and committing seemingly random and illogical attacks and bombings.  And by the way, notice that most of the “religious radical” attacks are against the very people of the region (mainly poor people), not the foreign occupiers?

Is the Mexican “Drug War” just another front in the sinister global “Control through Chaos” operation being run by the Elites?   If you’re a Christian you should remember the story of the statue with the feet of clay.  The leader of Babylon was concerned with taking on a certain enemy.  He had a dream about a statue.  The head was gold, and symbolized the elite.  The statue’s make up changed as you moved towards the feet.  The feet are made of clay, they represent the poor people of any society. Nebuchadnezzar was told in the dream that if he wanted to bring down his enemy, he had to attack the poor people of his enemy’s territory.

Notice that the majority of people being targeted, around the world in the “War on Terror” and in “Drug Wars”, by both the government forces and the terrorists/drug gangs, are poor people.
