2,500 Ciudad Juárez Cops Driven from Homes by Cartels

Posted on by

The break down of law and order in Mexico has reached the point where Cartels are not only challenging governmental authority, but pushing governmental institutions out of areas they control. Juarez is now a feral city sitting within view of El Paso, Texas. The security implications of this are frightening.

From Fox Latino:

The entire police force in the violent Mexican border city of Ciudad Juárez was ordered to leave their homes and stay in a hotel for their safety after the recent killing of five officers by a local drug cartel.

The gang threatened a week ago to kill one policeman a day unless Police Chief Julian Leyzaola resigns.

Juárez Mayor Héctor Murguía said Wednesday that the attacks carried out since the warning are a response to toughening police action against drug cartels in the city across from El Paso, Texas.

The mayor said there is no way Leyzaola is stepping down. He said most of the officers are “angry because of the attacks,” but are deeply committed to fighting crime.

Police spokesman Adrian Sánchez said officers were ordered to stay away from their houses after Monday’s shootout between assailants and policemen. That assault and previous attacks happened as officers were going to or from home.

The city’s government said it has secured 26 million pesos ($2 million) to house officers in hotels but did not specify how long that would last.

A policewoman who moved to a hotel in downtown Juárez said Wednesday that officers feel “more like soldiers, living in barracks than police officers.” Still, she said, “I don’t want my family to become collateral damage if I become a target.”

The officer, a single mother of two, agreed to discuss the matter only if not quoted by name because she was violating department rules that bar her from talking to journalists.

Sánchez said the police department will assess the results of the measure after a month and then decide whether to continue.

“So far it’s been successful,” Murguía said.

At least 10 banners bearing threats to Juárez’s police chief appeared around the city last week. The messages were signed by the New Juárez Cartel, an offshoot of the La Linea or Juárez Cartel, a major target of law enforcement actions in recent months.

In other news the Cartels are said to have their own air-force of ultralights designed to drop payloads. It’s only a matter of time before they’re dropping bombs on U.S. soil after taking off from a Juarez based air based

Federal Government Gives Out Free Cell Phones and Airtime to Welfare Recipients

Posted on by

Call me Kreskin but you and I both know these are not being used to get jobs.Your tax dollars at work – and via Occupy Wall Street’s demands for more we see that this still isn’t enough to satisfy the vast, entitled masses who think I should work to support them.

From The Economic Collapse Blog:

Did you know that the federal government is giving out free cell phones and free cell phone minutes to welfare recipients?  It may be hard to believe, but it is true.  Right now, there are companies that are running advertisements specifically targeted at low income Americans informing them of the fact that all they have to do is sign up and they can get a free cell phone and hundreds of free cell phone minutes every single month and it will all be paid for by the federal government.  Some have referred to this as “The Obama Phone”, but that is not exactly accurate.  The outrageous federal programs that are paying for this were initiated before Barack Obama entered the White House.  But the fact that welfare recipients have been receiving free cell phones and free cell phone minutes under both the Bush and Obama administrations has been confirmed as being true by Snopes.  All of this is paid for by “the federal Universal Service Fund”.  That is one of those annoying little taxes that you may have noticed on your phone bill.  So what is essentially happening is the federal government is taking money from all of us so that they can provide free cell phone service for welfare recipients every single month.

That post points us to the FCC website where this information is found:

The Lifeline program provides discounts on monthly telephone charges, and Link Up provides a discount on the cost of commencing telephone service for qualifying low-income households. Lifeline and Link Up are supported by the federal Universal Service Fund (USF). The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with the help of the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), administers the USF. Here are some frequently asked questions about the Lifeline and Link Up programs.

[…]

Lifeline provides discounts on one basic monthly telephone service (wireline or wireless) for qualified subscribers. These discounts can be up to $10.00 per month, depending on your state. Federal rules prohibit qualifying low-income consumers from receiving more than ONE Lifeline service at the same time. That is, qualifying low-income consumers may receive a Lifeline discount on either a home telephone or wireless telephone service, but may not receive a Lifeline discount on both services at the same time. Lifeline also includes Toll Limitation Service, which enables a telephone subscriber to limit the amount of long distance calls that can be made from a telephone.

Link Up Up provides qualified subscribers with a one-time discount (up to a maximum of $30) off of the initial installation fee for one traditional, wireline telephone service at the primary residence or the activation fee for one wireless telephone. It also allows subscribers to pay the remaining amount they owe on a deferred schedule, interest-free. Federal rules prohibit qualifying low-income consumers from receiving more than ONE Link Up discount at a primary residence. That is, qualifying low-income consumers may receive a Link Up discount on installation or activation charges associated with either a home telephone or wireless telephone service. Qualifying consumers may be eligible for Link Up again only after moving to a new primary residence..

However The Economic Collapse Blog points out that there are companies providing free phones and minutes to welfare recipients – after all they simply milk the government of the money the government takes from me.

So what happened to food stamps and rent assistance? What’s next cars? Why are you suckers with jobs out there working to support this system? Go Galt!

Michael Coren on the “Caledonia 8”

Posted on by

Six years ago a group of “Indigenous” Canadians, led by White communists and anarchists, assaulted and occupied land in Caledonia section of Ontario, Canada. Using the supposed breaking of a treaty as a pretext (and no real consensus has ever been reached on that point) “Native” protesters – and by “Native” we are also talking about a contingent of Ward Churchill style Indians – began a campaign of extortion, harassment and violence against White, Black and Asian Canadians. The violence was so bad many of the residents of Caledonia were not only hospitalized but permanently disabled by beatings administered by protesters. Residents of Caledonia had their homes and property stolen and re-distributed by the “protesters” and there have been several murders associated with the protesters.

In other words it’s a lot like what Occupy Wall Street wants to become. This report has a comprehensive list of the atrocities committed by these anarchists complete with pictures of the damage.

The worst part of the story though has always been the fact that Canadian police and the court system sided with the protesters, going so far as refusing to protect the populace from the rampage. This has resulted in several multi-million dollar lawsuits that the crumbling province can not afford.

The police have arrested eight people recently in the area – for protesting the violence. The charges were dropped and the group is planning another protest. Micheal Coren interviews one in this clip. I post this because the Caledonia occupation is a template radicals use to plan their attacks. Occupy Wall Street is already using this playbook so it is instructive to see the damage these tactics can cause over time:

Race Controversy Over Michigan Republican’s Superbowl Ad

Posted on by

US Senate candidate, Pete Hoekstra, is under fire for an ad that appeared during Superbowl Sunday.  His opponent is Democrat incumbent Debbie Stabenow, often criticized for her spend-it-all mentality.

Critics call the ad racist towards the Chinese as it features a supposed Chinese woman, though obviously an Asian American, against a stereotypical backdrop of a rice field using broken English.  She’s thanking Debbie Spenditnow (Stabenow – Spenditnow, get it?  yeah, I think it’s a reach too) for benefiting the Chinese economy by spending American money.

Is it racist?  I don’t know.  Personally, I think it’s in poor taste along with the tacky website replete with Chinese flags, red dragons and such.  Detroit black ministers are predictably crying racist being completely innocent of any sort of race baiting themselves.

Being a cynic, I think it’ll be just another season of idiotic attack ads.  But this tactic may work for Hoekstra.  Debbie Spenditnow is a phrase now embedded in Michigander’s minds.  Unfortunately, so is the image of another tacky while male Republican.
