KPBS Radio ^ | Jan 7, 2017 | Jean Guerrero

Protests of rising gas prices in Tijuana led to the temporary closure of southbound vehicle lanes at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing in San Ysidro on Saturday afternoon. The protests and the closure were repeated on Sunday.

Last week, I ran across a headline about Obama turning off energy to Mexico, so I've been trying to find info about it. Seems like there has been some riots there.

Seems like a result has been some additional pressure on the border especially in California. I don't really know what is going on, but thought I'd post this in case anyone was planning on driving across the border.

This is story that is not being reported possibly significant
Huge spike in gas prices began rather suddenly and just last month or so
And growing social unrest

Yes that would be nice. They are driving into California to buy gas. It’s getting violent in Mexico from this as well as the cartels. Civil war in Mexico - more refugees across our wide open borders.

Yes, I somehow sense that it is important too. I couldn’t figure out why Obama would be doing anything regarding Mexico and energy - inciting Civil War on our border would make sense, and the timing goes along with the planned riots for inauguration day, as things could get worse over the next week.

Yeah.

Lot of civil unrest in Mexico.

Press, of course, ignores it. Only covers agenda, not news.

And almost all our ships are in port. I wonder how many Chicoms are undercover in the various ports where all those Chinese Shipping Containers come in?

I hope I’m just being paranoid for nothing.

All carriers are docked from what I understand. I’ve read that has occurred on several occasions in the past.

Poor choice of words - I was talking about the carriers. And I didn’t say all, I did say almost, because I assume that at least some of them would be going back out - though with Obama who could count on anything?

Per Fox News it is consider noteworthy:

“It is believed to be the first time since World War II that at least one U.S. aircraft carrier has not been deployed.”

If you want to check out their news in English and not filtered by their leftist main stream media, this is a good place. There is more recent news but this gives a good background on the gas price increase.
