Organized crime, cartels, armed groups... are the reasons why people are being threatened & fleeing Mexico & Central America: Excellent article about how payment to criminal groups has woven its way into everyday life, in every purchase from avocados to lumber to cigarettes. #OrganizedCrime #Cartels #Immigration #MexicanCorruption #Mexico #CentralAmerica https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/05/23/mexico-cartels-tortilla-exortion-crime/

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador took office in 2018 pledging to cut down on gang violence, but killings last month reached the same historic highs as when he first started his presidency. With his tenure set to end and elections set for June 2, cartels have stepped up their bloody turf wars against one another, and residents are caught in the crossfire.

so it's now TWO #BOEING #WHISTLEBLOWERS who have been found dead within months of going public, right?!?!

so, are we clear now why i call #billionaires and their corporate oligarchies, #MAFIAS? am not being dramatic.

there is no other way to describe companies like Apple, Google and their intentionally carved out #monopsonies as #cartels or mafias when there are mass killings involved like Merck with Oxycontin or targeted deaths like Boeing and their whistleblowers.

capitalism kills.

Mexican President López Obrador Called Our Story “Slander” and Our Reporter a “Pawn.”

Here Are Some Facts.

After we wrote about a suspected cartel donation to the Mexican president’s 2006 campaign, he’s gone on the attack against reporter Tim Golden.

Golden won’t be attending AMLO’s press conferences, but here, we respond to some of his questions.

#Americans should know what most Mexicans and Colombians already do: the drug #cartels are operated from the USA.

A bunch of journalists, Anabel Hernández, José Restrepo, Guillermo Sherer, Carlos Fazio, have done research on the cartels, and all them have reached the point where it's the Mexican government, Army and Navy the ones that operate the cartels, either directly or by omission. But it doesn't end there.

Le Chiapas, au sud du Mexique, saisi par la violence des trafics

"La région du Chiapas est le théâtre d’affrontements entre les cartels. Pour toute réponse, l’État fédéral envoie l’armée, une mesure mal vécue par la population. La militarisation réveille les blessures du passé au sein des communautés indigènes qui ont subi les exactions des paramilitaires contre le mouvement zapatiste."
