Mexico’s Narco-terrorism spreads…

The head of Homeland Security, Secretary Janet Napolitano (shown left), acknowledges signs of rising violence in Mexico, but says that violence has yet to spill across the border. She assures Americans, if and when it does, Homeland Security has a plan prepared!
Napolitano says violence has yet to spill across the border.”
However, according to the Dept. of Justice and the DEA, Mexican drug-gang activity now reaches from coast to coast and operates in at least 230 of Americas largest cities.
Jeremy Schwartz, Cox News Service recently reported, Powerful and well-organized Mexican drug-trafficking groups have seized control of drug distribution throughout Ohio, flooded local markets with increasingly cheap heroin and are using Columbus and Dayton as distribution hubs for southwestern Ohio and parts of Indiana, local and federal U.S. drug-enforcement officials say. The situation in Ohio reflects a larger national trend
Larry Holifield, DEA’s director for Mexico and Central America, states, Mexico’s drug gangs have been highly successful in the past two decades, gradually replacing Colombian gangs in the United States to control the profitable distribution of cocaine from coast to coast. Holifield says Mexican cartels are now the most powerful in the world.(2) Mexican gangs also dominate the growing methamphetamine trade, producing 53 percent of the drugs on the market in “super-labs” in Mexico as the U.S. tightens its laws. Much of the rest is made in clandestine labs in California, also run by Mexicans, U.S. officials say.
Meanwhile violent Mexcian and Central American gangs such as Mara 18 that were born in Los Angeles have returned to their homeland and now move back and forth between here and there without much resistance, often bringing in large shipments of cocaine and returning with cache’s of guns and money. These gangs are engaging in all manner of crime from murder to kidnappings. Shown here on the far right is a Mara 18 member 
These are incredibly violent people and amazingly they are often naively welcomed by sanctuary cities, much to the frustration of their local police. In the North State cities and towns such as, Stockton, Sacramento, Yuba City, Chico, Hamilton City, Orland, Willows and Redding are now havens for dangerous Hispanic gangs which are growing like an epidemic thanks to the drug money.
California’s Attorney General, Jerry Brown says these new terrorists pose a far more immenent danger to us than Islamic terrorists that have captured the near total focus of federal agencies.
Shocking news about Phoenix, Az. The number one most dangerous place in the world for kidnappings is Mexico City, but the number two most dangerous place for kidnappings, in the entire world, is Phoenix, Arizona! This is where Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano resided as Governor until just a month ago and yet she somehow missed the fact that her own capitol city was the very epicenter of Mexico’ drug trade violence in the US. More than 340 kidnappings reported last year, but local police said the real number is much higher since many cases go unreported because the victims are often involved in drug or illegal alien smuggling.
Immigrant smuggling is also a lucrative line of work: A ring that moves a load of 30 illegal immigrants through Arizona can gross $45,000 to $75,000. Smugglers can quickly get their hands on large sums of money sometimes in the middle of the night. In one case, someone who turned to authorities about a kidnapping brought more than $300,000 in ransom money to the Phoenix police department in cereal boxes.
“We’re in the eye of the storm,” Phoenix Police Chief Andy Anderson told ABC News of the violent crimes and ruthless tactics spurred by Mexico’s drug cartels that have expanded business across the border.

People are scared and they have reason to be,” says Michael Shifter, a Latin America specialist at Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington think tank. “The economic crisis is just going to aggravate the situation. It’s very hard to imagine how things will get better in the short term.” For the full story click here.
The San Diego area has also seen a rise in kidnappings over the past year, with two or three reported during busy weeks, and some victims were mixed up in drug smuggling.
“violence has yet to spill across the border”, is probably the most absurd announcement by any official in the Obama Administration to date. This stunning remark was in direct contrast to local law enforcement officials throughout the country who have been reporting violent Mexican drug gang activity here for years! How is it that Napolitano missed the news reported every day right in her own Capital city of Phoenix? It makes one wonder what other enormous elephant is in her livingroom that she has missed noticing? The fact that she could make such a stupid comment and still remain as the Homeland Chief is itself a statement of no accountability.
1. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano assumed the job on January 21, 2009, and is the first woman to serve in that office. An American politician from the Democratic Party, Napolitano was serving as governor of the state of Arizona when designated by then-President-elect Barack Obama to be his Secretary of Homeland Security. She was confirmed by the Senate and sworn in one day after Obama’s inauguration.
2. The DEA says more that $14 billion in illegal drugs are smuggled into the U.S. every year through Mexico.
