“I know we the border is a lawless area, but some of this makes no sense from the drug gang point-of-view.”
You’re right, it doesn’t make sense from a drug gang point of view.
However, it does make sense from a reconquista point of view. It’s called a “probing action.”
NAFBPO seems to have their information correct.
11:18 am Today
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.
The approximate location of the U.S. ranches are10 miles northwest of I-35 off Mines Road and Minerales Annex Road. Just off 1472 (Mines road) near Santa Isabel Creek south of the city of Laredo, Texas.
The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers. The group was once part of the Gulf cartel, but has since splintered and now directly competes with the Gulf cartel for premium drug smuggling routes in the Texas region.[snip]
In the middle of the night on March 9, 1916, life in Columbus changed dramatically. At 1:00 A.M., between 500 and 600 Mexican revolutionaries, led by General Francisco “Pancho” Villa, crossed the border into the United States. Villa divided his troops and attacked Columbus from the southwest at approximately 4:20 am. This attack caught the entire town, as well as the army camp, by surprise...

Poncho Villa’s raid precipitated Pershing’s punitive expedition into Mexico which was the occasion for some heroics by young George S. Patton. The expedition itself however, despite the use of aircraft for reconnaissance, failed to bring Poncho Villa to justice.
“Obama will only defend Blue States who supported him. Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi can all go to h#ll, as far as he is concerned. They are Red states. “
That’s become apparent, hasn’t it?
UNbelievable!!!
Exactly. This isn’t a drug related action, at least not primarily. It is a reconquista aka armed invasion action, in this case a probing action to measure the response of US and Texas authorities.
The reconquistas will configure their next action accordingly.
IOW, this is literally an act in preparation for actual low-intensity war.
Obama has failed his oath of Office. He needs to be IMPEACHED!!!!
Dear Mod....is there a chance we can get this out of ‘bloggers’ and in breaking news?

This is awesome. Thanks for the ping, and lets hope Drudge picks it up. The nation NEEDS TO KNOW.
The directions are way off though according to google maps. The area they are describing is northwest of Laredo.
bookmark for later.
sEEMS SOMEONE ELSE AGREES WITH ME.

But...I haven't heard of this claim either, so I'm curious to see some corroboration as well.
He'll be picked up and bussed to the polls too.
