The bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have evacuated without being harmed. As of this hour I cannot confirm 100% on the situation (I am at around 90%) - though the source is law enforcement in the area.

Founder of the San Diego Minutemen Jeff Schwilk tipped me off to this story and passes along the following information on the location. The ranches are said to be "near Mines Rd. and Minerales Annex Rd about 10 miles NW of I-35".

Whether it is lone members or squads is not certain.

Anonymous sources in law enforcement in the Laredo area tonight have passed on word that US law enforcement agencies are in the area and are weighing their options regarding the ranches. The media has been silent on this incident and some law enforcement in the area says that they are furious that the media is not reporting the whole story of the continued violence along the border. Their frustrations are understandable because keeping the truth suppressed continues to hamper law enforcement from receiving the true support they need along the border.

The ranch assaults come on the heals of attacks in Nuevo Laredo that shut the city down as a gun-battle raged in the streets. Los Zetas blocked off intersections with vehicles and used fragmentation grenades to attack Mexican law enforcement. In the end 12 were killed and 21 injured in the assaults. Citizens in the area were told to stay in their homes and bullets whizzed all around.

Cypress Times

The U.S. Consulate in Nuevo Laredo had posted warnings on its website hours before the gunfire was reported by Texas citizens, “We have received credible reports of widespread violence occurring now between narcotics-trafficking organizations and the Mexican army in Nuevo Laredo.”

The U.S. Consulate went on to say, “The consulate confirmed that fragmentation grenades were used in the attacks and that suspected drug-gang members had blocked several roads, adding that it advised ‘all U.S. citizens in Nuevo Laredo to remain indoors until the security situation improves.’”

US Citizens in Laredo called 911 after hearing gunfire and explosions just across the border. Laredo police spokesman Joe Baeza deflected the concerns of citizens with what I see as utter contempt. He said there was no spillover violence onto the US side and "We were getting reports from people who live on the river's edge that they could hear gunfire and explosions from the Mexico side," Baeza said, "We didn't have any incidents on the American side. It's hard for people to understand who don't live here ... They're not Vikings, they're not going to invade us, it doesn't work that way."

This was said just a day before the reported breaking news on the ranches being taken above.

Violence has been on the rise along the border. In April 2010 a Border Patrol agent in Laredo shot and killed an lllegal alien drug smuggler near the Rio Grande

Los Zetas

The Los Zetas are highly trained killers initially trained by United States Special Operations forces to combat the drug cartes within Mexico. As the drug war heated up the Zetas saw more money in working for the cartels and joined up with the Gulf Cartel.

In March, 2010 there was a fracture between the Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel when a Zetas leader was said to have been assassinated by the Gulf Cartel. They demanded that the killer be turned over to them. When the Gulf Cartel refused the Zetas captured 16 Gulf Cartel members.

Since March Los Zetas abandoned their stronghold in Reynosa and moved to Nuevo Laredo, just across from the border with Laredo, Texas. There are estimated to be over 1,000 Zeta members there.

Isn't it about time that we booted all of the Mexican Consulates out of the US, and declared war on Mexico? As Jorge Bush said... Let's fight em over there, so we don't have to fight em here! (2 images)

Bush told the Mexican people in numerous speeches at their rallies that we were going to fight them in Mexico? He told Fox this in 2005? You need to read the NAFTA that Poppy Bush passed and Clinton got ratified.

"See in my line of work, you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." --- George W. Bush (Rochester NY, 5-24-2005)

Bush is traitorous scum, like the Kenyan hObama and the Panamanian McStain. Try and hang, then deport the latter two's remains.

You think it an accident that these Drug Wars started the day after we installed Calderon?

And this is the FIRST time I've read an article that singled out the US trained Los Zetas v the Sinaloa.

G, my treat. I'll show you NYC (lets do the Jersey Boys) like you never imagined.

If you voted for Obama in 2008, you're too blame for this rotten mess we're now in. You broke it, you own it.

James, on a bad day, is more lucid than you could hope to be on your best day...by a factor of a google...

Local law enforcement was bombarded with calls from across the country Saturday asking about a report that the Zetas had taken over two ranches off Mines Road.

But officials with the Laredo Police Department, Webb County Sheriff’s Department and Border Patrol said they knew nothing about such an incident, while Erik Vasys, an FBI spokesman in San Antonio, said the agency does not comment on rumors.

The report, which spread like wildfire among blogs Saturday afternoon, appears to have initially been posted on a blog called Diggers Realm.

The blogger wrote that he got a tip from a San Diego, Calif., minuteman named Jeff Schwilk, who said that the Zetas, former enforcers of the Gulf Cartel, had crossed into the United States and taken over two ranches off Mines Road, about 10 miles northwest of Interstate 35.

Quoting Schwilk, the blogger wrote that there was a standoff between “the unknown size Zeta forces and the U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement on two ranches …”

But Investigator Jose E. Baeza, LPD spokesman, said he had not heard anything about the incident. Also, an LPD sergeant, who was on duty as a watch commander Saturday afternoon, said she had not heard anything about it either.

At about 4:30 p.m., Maru De La Paz, spokeswoman for Webb County Sheriff’s Office, wrote that the report about Zetas taking over ranches in Laredo is not confirmed.

An Internet rumor has been spreading for hours now claiming that Los Zetas, a notorious and extremely violent Mexican drug gang, has crossed the border and taken over two ranches near Laredo. The source seems to be a blog called Diggers Realm. See also this breathless account at examiner.com:

In what could be deemed an act of war against the sovereign borders of the United States, Mexican drug cartels have seized control of at least two American ranches inside the U.S. territory near Laredo, Texas.

Two sources inside the Laredo Police Department confirmed the incident is unfolding and they would continue to coordinate with U.S. Border Patrol today. “We consider this an act of war,” said one police officer on the ground near the scene. There is a news blackout of this incident at this time and the sources inside Laredo PD spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Word broke late last night that Laredo police have requested help from the federal government regarding the incursion by the Los Zetas. It appears that the ranch owners have escaped without incident but their ranches remain in the hands of the blood thirsty cartels.

Laredo Border Patrol is conducting aerial surveillance over the ranches to determine the best way to regain control of the U.S. ranches, according to the Laredo Police department.

One problem: It’s not true. Bob Owens of Confederate Yankee took the unusual and daring step of actually calling the Laredo PD and the local sheriff’s office to get the true story. Here’s a part of what he learned:

[Laredo PD Sgt. Perez] also provided me the number of the Sheriff’s Department. The deputy that answered the phone there was less bemused, having also dealt with this rumor multiple times in a short amount of time. She also told me that there was no invasion and no law enforcement siege, and that deputies were continuing normal operations.

So where and how Digger and Examiner.com’s Kimberly Dvorak got their “confirmations, ” I have no idea. But a simple phone call to the relevant authorities showed this was just another Internet myth.

What I do know, however, is that the situation on our border is serious and the dangers faced there are real. Those of us concerned about border security -and on the Right in general- face a hostile mainstream media and political elite looking for anything they can use to dismiss us and smear us as racists and extremists in need of being controlled.

UPDATE: The Laredo Morning Times hasn’t heard of any trouble, either. You’d think the local paper would know, wouldn’t you?

(Update 3: For those doubting the confirmation, I stand firmly behind Kimberly, but I have put together more on the confirmation and why this story truly matters at: "Why The Los Zetas Ranch Story Matters - Confirmation And Why A Media Blackout?". There are three confirmed sources within law enforcement.)

The US stole 1/3 of Mexico, demands drugs from them and wonders what's the problem.

If you voted for Obama in 2008, you're too blame for this rotten mess we're now in. You broke it, you own it.

If I kept tabs on all the subjects you were incorrect on I'd lose my mind and end up like War.

If you voted for Obama in 2008, you're too blame for this rotten mess we're now in. You broke it, you own it.

You're full of shit. The land was the Mexicans. The Indians hated the Mexicans far worse then the Americans. The Mexicans were far more brutal to them then Americans ever were.

And this is an implication that I should live within my means so that Criminal Syndicates can continue to Kill the Planet? LMFAO

And this is your attempt to think with your bible. A ZioFundy, who can't wrap his own 'lizard brain function' around the concept that humans have got a 'three stacked' brain.

But then that requires that you believe in EVOLUTION, and you zioFundys can't make that leap. The world is ONLY 6 000 years old.

Your problem, neb, is that you HAVE to keep track on all the subjects, if you;re going to make the charge that I'm wrong.

You don't do either without a firm understanding of the indigent labor available.

Like several other of the striking fishermen, Dag says cleanup workers are not being paid. "What are we suppose to do?," he asked. "We ain’t been paid yet. We’ve used almost everything we got to live out here already. Forty days, we ain’t seen nothing yet. What are we supposed to do for money?" Another fishermen complained to Louisiana’s WVUE station about the living conditions on the quarter ship. "We can’t lock our rooms and we all got to share one TV," he said. "I’m not in prison. If I wanted to be in prison I would break the law and go to jail."

It's ALL about the Depression. Note how the Depths of EVERY Depression can be found by looking at the Accompany Pogrom.

Like Marijuana was made illegal in order to have an excuse to get rid of hispanics.

I remember when asking for the driver's license itself was being debated. And Sandra Day in the middle of that one 8D.

And this Depression is NOT going away so you can expect the War to cross the border.

Get ready for lots more of the first paragraph and none of the second until collapse, now beginning on the NOGC +Florida:

" And now the War on Terror has sent the empire into overdrive. Fein presents at the end of his sixth chapter a devastating litany of post-9/11 presidential power-grabs and crimes against Americans' liberty. "President Obama, parroting President Bush, defines the ï¿½battlefield' as anywhere that an act of terrorism might conceivably be perpetrated. Accordingly, President Obama asserts unlimited power to order U.S. citizens killed anywhere in the world with no judicial or legislative checks if he suspects they are implicated in international terrorism. King George III would be envious." Indeed, this year it became public knowledge that Obama was continuing a George W. Bush program that permits the Pentagon to target for assassination any American abroad suspected of terrorist links. Even in the Roman empire, Saint Paul was entitled as a Roman citizen to appeal a capital charge before Caesar. The American Caesar has less regard for his subjects.

Fein does not offer counsel of despair. He concludes his book on a hopeful note -- albeit a distant one -- with a series of proposals for restoring the republic. Among his suggestions: "military commissions should be abolished," "the Federal Reserve Board should be abolished," "No monies of the United States should be expended to execute a law to which the President has affixed a signing statement, ""Deficit spending should be prohibited absent two-thirds majorities of the House and Senate, and federal taxes should be capped at 10 percent of national income." Some of these ideas will have to await a distant day to be fulfilled; others can happen speedily, if only the minority of Americans awake to the plight of their country will organize and act in their own communities and congressional districts.
