The truth is that the real story of the suppression of the Thuggee was based on modern police forensics, led by one man, William Henry Sleeman. He correctly realized that the Thugs were much like a giant criminal gang, and he treated them as such.
As such, he coerced captured Thugs to give each other up, plotted all their favorite ambush sites, identified their leaders, etc. The army was pretty much at his command, as available, and there were hangings a-plenty, if they felt like surrender, or bullets, if they didn’t.
It also helped that nobody liked the Thugs, and were more than happy to see them gone. It was a highly effect law and order campaign.
Doesn’t it all come out of West Africa?
Don’t visit Mexico until the drug wars end
There are several sects of Voodoo/Vodun - Voodoo orig came out of West Africa with some of the slaves (not all slaves practiced voodoo), but developed different rites/rituals pantheons and developed separately in the West.
Much like how some protestant denominations developed differently here in the states, but moreso.
sounds like my next family vacation may have a little dangerous thrill factor.
Where was Van Der Sloot at the time of these crimes???
All the victims had drugs in their systems. Which isn’t to excuse these vicious murders, but just for the record.
You’re right.
However, it’s just more evidence that the border needs to be closed, yesterday.....
Meanwhile, 55 bodies recovered from old silver mine in Mexico.

The manly Spaniards ran to kill men like these.
ROFL, good one!
Zorro?
Same here...We stayed down south of Playa de Carmen at a very nice resort, but I figure the jungle surrounding it is filled with Charlie’s cousins and they would love to kill us if we ever returned...
What’s interesting is my wife mentioned we should take a trip down to her hometown, she still has relatives down there, we could drive, yet I feel that in and of itself paints a target on us the second we get in line to buy the insurance required to drive in Mexico in Nuevo Laredo...
Considering I cannot carry a firearm for protection, I told her “Have a nice trip.”, I’d almost rather visit Detroit...
Correct!!!
BTTT
guess it is good I am poor now. my brother & all his family are going there next month & encouraged me to join them
terrible that travel is so crazy anymore.. and travel the Mideastern countries? HA, fargttaboutit
“You old white people. It is your duty to die.”

HISPANIC LEADERS SPEAK OUT!
Augustin Cebada, Brown Berets; “Go back to Boston! Go back to Plymouth Rock, Pilgrims! Get out! We are the future. You are old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you. Leave like beaten rats. You old white people. It is your duty to die . . Through love of having children, we are going to take over.
Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council. “They’re afraid we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They’re right. We will take them over . . . We are here to stay.”
Excelsior, the national newspaper of Mexico, “The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot.”
Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez, University of Texas; “We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. The explosion is in our population . . . I love it. They are shitting in their pants with fear. I love it.”
Art Torres, Chairman of the California Democratic Party, “Remember 187—proposition to deny taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens—was the last gasp of white America in California.”
Gloria Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor, “We are politicizing every single one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country . . . I gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, “I’m going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back.”
Mario Obledo, California Coalition of Hispanic Organizations and California State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Governor Jerry Brown, also awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Bill Clinton, “California is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave.”
Jose Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General, “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’ in California.”
Professor Fernando Guerra, Loyola Marymount University; “We need to avoid a white backlash by using codes understood by Latinos . . . “
Are these just the words of a few extremists? Consider that we could fill up many pages with such quotes. Also, consider that these are mainstream Mexican leaders.
THE U.S. VS MEXICO:
On February 15, 1998, the U.S. and Mexican soccer teams met at the Los Angeles Coliseum. The crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Mexican even though most lived in this country. They booed during the National Anthem and U.S. flags were held upside down. As the match progressed, supporters of the U.S. team were insulted, pelted with projectiles, punched and spat upon. Beer and trash were thrown at the U.S. players before and after the match. The coach of the U.S. team, Steve Sampson said, “This was the most painful experience I have ever had in this profession.”
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non-European countries can come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government contracts? It’s called affirmative action or racial privilege. The Emperor of Japan or the President of Mexico could migrate here and immediately be eligible for special rights unavailable for Americans of European descent. Recently, a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated. Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for these immigrants.
Corporate America has signed on to the idea that minorities and third world immigrants should get special, privileged status. Some examples are Exxon, Texaco, Merrill Lynch, Boeing, Paine Weber, Starbucks and many more.
DID YOU KNOW?:
Did you know that Mexico regularly intercedes on the side of the defense in criminal cases involving Mexican nationals? Did you know that Mexico has NEVER extradited a Mexican national accused of murder in the U.S. in spite of agreements to do so? According to the L.A. Times, Orange County, California is home to 275 gangs with 17,000 members; 98% of which are Mexican and Asian. How’s your county doing?
According to a New York Times article dated May 19, 1994, 20 years after the great influx of legal immigrants from Southeast Asia, 30% are still on welfare compared to 8% of households nationwide. A Wall Street Journal editorial dated December 5, 1994 quotes law enforcement officials as stating that Asian mobsters are the “greatest criminal challenge the country faces.” Not bad for a group that is still under 5% of the population.
Is education important to you? Here are the words of a teacher who spent over 20 years in the Los Angeles School system. “Imagine teachers in classes containing 30-40 students of widely varying attention spans and motivation, many of whom aren’t fluent in English. Educators seek learning materials likely to reach the majority of students and that means fewer words and math problems and more pictures and multicultural references.”
