A terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has established another home base across the border in Mexico.
"They are recognized by many experts as the 'A' team of Muslim terrorist organizations," a former U.S. intelligence agent told 10News.
The former agent, referring to Shi'a Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah, added, "They certainly have had successes in big-ticket bombings..."
Now, the group is blending into Shi'a Muslim communities in Mexico, including Tijuana. Other pockets along the U.S.-Mexico border region remain largely unidentified as U.S. intelligence agencies are focused on the drug trade...
The agent, who has spent years deep undercover in Mexico, said Hezbollah is partnering with drug organizations, but which ones is not clear at this time... According to the agent, the organization sees the U.S. as their "cash cow," with illegal drug and immigration operations. Many senior Hezbollah leaders are wealthy businessmen, the agent said...

WHY ARE WE NOT SURPRISED.
DOH!
HEZBOLAH SETTING UP OPS ACROSS THE MEXICAN BORDER.
. . . AND THE BAND PLAYED ON . . . WHILE OTHERS REARRANGED THE DECK CHAIRS.
I would humbly suggest there are billions of reasons for that. Drug cartels are awash with untraceable billions in cash. Officials and politicians in the "right" positions on both sides of the border can benefit handsomely - or they can take the risk of being in the way!
Those reasons are as old as time...
Of course, millions of newly minted Liberal voters and cheap labor are attractive reasons as well.
Thanks for the ping!
BTTT!
I wonder why NOBODY is proposing it.
There’s only one way to defund the ‘cash cow’ of the drug trade.
It was the only way to shut down the violence brought about by Prohibition, too.
The country is not ready to face the unpleasant and harsh facts yet and it will produce other problems as well. But when it gets bad enough we won’t have any choice.
Thanks newzjunkey for the topic and thanks neverdem for the link.
What are the odds they might be the same ones associated with decapitations?
Something has always struck me as peculiar with that signature murder technique. I wonder if it isn't more spiritually induced in the mind of the criminal. Past generations of Mexican criminals weren't as preoccupied with the spectacle of decapitation, but simply settled for the death of their adversaries. It was closer in keeping with their Catholic cultural influence.
With the Chinese and other international aliens in Mexico, influencing their economy, and not to the betterment of the common man, there is probably a panoply of activity ongoing in Mexico which is never being reported.
Hezbollah is even now overrepresented by even one in the Mexican trucking industry.
