“This is a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty of Mexico…”-Andrés Manuel López Obrador (aka AMLO), President of Mexico
On the evening of 05APR2024, Ecuador conducted a police raid of Mexico’s embassy, in violation of international law! Mexico says it is now ending diplomatic relations with Ecuador.
Ecuadorian police raided Mexico’s embassy because former Ecuadorian vice-president Jorge Glas had been taking refuge in the embassy since December 2023: “I am very worried because they could kill him. There is no basis to do this, this is totally outside the norm!”-Roberto M. Canseco, Mexican Chancellery & Political Affairs
“Me acaba de informar Alicia Bárcena, nuestra secretaria de Relaciones Exteriores que policías de Ecuador entraron por la fuerza a nuestra embajada y se llevaron detenido al exvicepresidente de ese país quien se encontraba refugiado y tramitando asilo por la persecución y el acoso que enfrenta. Se trata de una violación flagrante al derecho internacional y a la soberanía de México, por lo cual le he instruido a nuestra canciller que emita un comunicado sobre este hecho autoritario, proceda de manera legal y de inmediato declare la suspensión de relaciones diplomáticas con el gobierno de Ecuador.”–Andrés Manuel López Obrador (aka AMLO), President of Mexico

On 30JAN2023, USCG Cutter Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) captured 4-thousand kilograms of hashish and 512 kilograms of methamphetamine, in the Gulf of Oman. This was the first drug seizure in 2023 for Combined Task Force (CTF)-150: “This is just the beginning of our work in delivering maritime security operations in the region to stop illicit activities and drug smuggling. This comes as a result of a valued partnership between CTF 150 and all partner nations in Combined Maritime Forces.”-Captain James Byron, United Kingdom Royal Navy, current leader of CMF-150 (so, even the U.S. led anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Oman are commanded by Red Coats!)
Also on 30JAN2023, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence gave a short history of the U.S. Tactical Analysis Teams (TATs) deployed to Central and South America, in the name of taking the Reagan era War on Drugs international. The first TAT was formed and deployed in 1989. Obviously, to me, it has been a resounding failure, but don’t tell that to the taxpayer funded U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, or U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).
