The Pacific cartel is 3 sub-cartels. And former Guate special forces are amongst the Zetas. Caifanes?

There are actually three cartels, Gulf Cartel, Zetas, Pactic Cartel. Throw in the Mexican Army and the Mexican Navy (Marines) and you have a five way mix. The cartels are actually out manuvering the Mexican miliatry. The mexican miliatry has just been effective enough to disrupt things so that now you have the robberies, protection and other crap.Now the people in Monterrey with means no longer drive from Monterrey to the valley to shop but rather they hire private iarcraft to fly to them to the valley. If driving to Monterry from here, it is best to convoy during the day only, even if using the auot pista. Along the border no one goes into Mexcio at night if it all. The good restuarants are now moving from Mexico to the US side.As Gill says it will be interesting although if a revolution were to occur now the Naros would probably win. Thye have too much money.Bruce----- Original Message -----From: [email protected]Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2011 3:10 AMSubject: Re: Re: [Texascavers] Monterrey safety update& for years, the Mexican constabulary/bureaucracy has been underpaid and individuals try to improve their financial status via versions of the mordida.

parties, independent bandits) have all been putting pressure on the
police & local governments to the point that the police are totally
ineffective and, perhaps, in cahoots with any and/or all of them. It
results in general lawlessness and promotes and encourages robberies
by bands of free-lance bandits--on all levels. What you have is chaos
and confusion as to what's really going on, where, when, why, and by
whom. The solution, when it comes, and the getting to it, is gonna be
interesting. And don't forget: Every 100 years there is a revolution
in Mexico.
