An indictment was handed down Aug. 30 by the Southern District Court of New York that shows a connection between Hezbollah - the proxy army of Iran and a designated terrorist organization - and the drug cartels that violently plague the U.S.-Mexico...a well-known international arms dealer was trying to orchestrate an arms-for-drugs deal in which cocaine from FARC - the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which works with Mexican drug cartels to take cocaine into America - would be traded for thousands of weapons housed by a Hezbollah operative in Mexico.
This most recent case brings up several questions:
Why would a member of Hezbollah be in Mexico? Why would Hezbollah need thousands of weapons in Mexico? Why are members of Hezbollah willing to work with FARC? Perhaps to exchange weapons for drugs? If Hezbollah has guns in Mexico and wants drugs, isn't it logical to assume that it is trading with more accessible Mexican drug cartels?
This is just the most recent incident in which it's clear that Hezbollah may have a presence in Mexico and along our southern border. There have been more incidents - which have been ignored by the Obama administration and the Department of Homeland Security...
The evidence is there: Hezbollah's cooperation with countries across South America; Highly sophisticated tunnels for transferring drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border, ones very similar to the tunnels dug by Hezbollah into Israel; The close relationship between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and the increase in Iranian nationals traveling through Venezuela to receive false documents, which they use to cross into the United States.
...(during summer) it was reported that Jameel Nasr (Arab name), a Mexican national with ties to Hezbollah in Lebanon, "entrusted with forming a base in South America and the United States to carry out operations against Israeli and Western targets," was arrested by the Mexican government.
Days later, a cell-phone-detonated car bomb - the first of its kind reported used by Mexican drug cartels - was deployed just across the U.S.-Mexico border in Juarez. On Aug. 27, another car bomb exploded in a U.S.-Mexico border state...
Doing drugs just got a whole more dangerous.
THANKS OBAMA! Hezbollah thanks you too.
Are these his ‘brownshirts’?
Obama needs to send in the Big Red One. Show em who’s boss.
Here is a link to a video made by a Spanish journalist who infiltrated terror training camps that Chavez is running with Islamic terror groups in Venezuela. It is in Spanish, but you will get the gist. Maybe someone can id the kinds of weapons they’re using.

Hezbollah in Central America, Obama in North America. Lawsuits filed against Arizona. Sounds like their plan is coming together.
Unfortunately a US State mounting a defense of our southern border will effectively commence an act of secession. As to exactly why that should have to happen is an interesting question...
Yep. Getting my pitchfork oiled up and my torch ready.
Iran should still be a smoldering pile of rocks after 1979,we have not had men for presidents for a long while.
The world would be a better place, and the last 30 years would have been much different, if Iran had been turned into a pile of smoldering rocks after 1979. It certainly would have concentrated the minds of the rest of them. But it’s not too late...

Yes it is never too late.
One more reason to legalize drugs. Instead of empowering Al Capones now we’re empowering Al Quaedas.
The drug war is completely destabilizing Mexico, filling our prisons, and eroding our Bill of Rights.
Who or what is the big red one?
Not the big red one. The Big Red One.
It’s the US Army 1st Infantry Division. When The US Army needs someone to get something done, they know that they can send in The Big Red One, and it will get done. They’ve been on the front line of many of the famous battles in US history since WWI.
