FBI warns of drug cartel arming
The FBI is warning that one of Mexico´s most brutal drug cartels is attempting to violently regain control of drug trafficking routes in the United States and has been ordered to engage law enforcement officers to protect their operations, according to an intelligence report obtained by The Washington Times.
Los Zetas, the enforcer of Mexico´s infamous Gulf Cartel, is reinforcing its ranks and stockpiling weapons in safe houses in the U.S. in response to recent crackdowns in the U.S. and Mexico against drug traffickers, said the FBI San Antonio Field Office’s Joint Assessment Bulletin. The bulletin was dated Oct. 17 and was sent to law enforcement officials in the Texas region.
Can we PLEASE build that flippin’ wall? Don’t we have a right to be safe? Seems to me that every single so called law maker has violated their oath of office. Don’t they swear to protect and defend the Constitution? If those we send to D.C., are so busy bashing each other political party, they tend forget the job they were sent to do. That includes making sure OUR law enforcement has the tools to protect us, and our country.
Hamas Demands Release of Notorious Killers
Hamas is demanding the release of approximately 1,500 terrorists in exchange for kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. Many of those 1,500 criminals have “blood on their hands,” meaning they took part in attacks in which Israelis were murdered. Channel 2 News examined the crimes committed by five of the terrorists on Hamas’ list on Saturday night.
Once again, Hamas points it out: One young Israeli is worth MORE than all their terrorists combined!
Obama criticises ‘ugly’ tactics
“In the final days of campaigns, the say-anything, do-anything politics too often takes over…” he said in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“The American people don’t want to hear politicians attack each other – you want to hear about how we’re going to attack the challenges facing middle-class families each and every day.”
Well, Bubba Hussein is the king of ‘say anything, do anything’! Instead of being able to tell the truth about himself, and his plans to turn this nation into a 3rd world country, he speaks empty promises to the gullible. Damn! We’ve got a WHOLE lot of gullible, don’t we!
Spending Stalls and Businesses Slash U.S. Jobs
Layoffs have arrived in force, like a wrenching second act in the unfolding crisis. In just the last two weeks, the list of companies announcing their intention to cut workers has read like a Who’s Who of corporate America: Merck, Yahoo, General Electric, Xerox, Pratt & Whitney, Goldman Sachs, Whirlpool, Bank of America, Alcoa, Coca-Cola, the Detroit automakers and nearly all the airlines.
Proof that D.C. doesn’t have a clue what it is doing! No doubt there would have been some layoffs if they hadn’t tinkered. All they’ve done though, is make matters a LOT worse. WE don’t trust YOU, so WE aren’t spending what little money we have left after you raid our pockets. And just why hasn’t any of those fatcats been put in hand cuffs? Probably because they are still too busy spending their bailout checks.
Huge cocaine seizure in Colombia
Colombian police have seized a 10-tonne consignment of cocaine with a street value of $200m (£126m) which was reportedly about to be sent to Mexico.
The drugs were found in the Caribbean city of Barranquilla in two trucks where they were camouflaged in boxes filled with children’s modelling clay
That’s an awful lot of blow destined to destroy lives.
