“I guess the satellite intel and the Helicopter gunships were off line

They had scouting aircraft and armored cars. Pretty much the equivalent of the day.

But they never caught Pancho Villa.

Patton did manage to personally eliminate at least one of Villa's lieutenants, with one of those famous ivory gripped pistols.”

Those cockroaches would last about the time it takes the bullet to travel the 2600 feet, ONE second!

(1) it's a conceivable scenario. So is virtually anything the himan mind can imagine. We do not take imagined scenarios and publish it as factual news.

(2) virtual silence from the mainstream media would be expected. Very wrong. 99% of the "media blackout" of stories such as this are BS. I was a TV reporter / anchor for more than 30 years. We would be so all over such a story, you cannot imagine. "With the very rare exception of one case of trying to free a kidnapped child, I participated in absolutely no "media blackouts."

(3) a lack of response by our 'representation' in D.C. would be par for the course. <Nothing from DC needed. Austin could handle it just fine.

The current resident of the White Hut may be afraid to deal with them, but the next one won’t. I suspect that at some point the drug cartels will be named as terrorist organizations a new ballgame will begin.

People are getting fed up with this.

So the story has been debunked.

Now we need to figure out how it got out in the first place. Was someone playing our intrepid reporter?

No, she isn’t even a reporter, more like a columnist.

She lied. She had no sources in Loreado. Happens all the time on the net.

Here is just a tiny representative handful of the countless huge stories the mainstream media conveniently ‘overlooked’ in 2009 and 2010. Are you prepared to claim that they represent only one percent of the major stories that erupt in about a year’s time? I am prepared to say that this representative sample of ‘ignored stories’ is just the tip of a gigantic political censorship iceberg.

The corruption in this administration, and in the halls of Congress, is abominable. Crimes occur in Washington every day the magnitude of which make the Watergate scandal look like a walk in the park. And yet the mainstream media choose to look the other way, because the realization of a political agenda sits much higher on their list of priorities than informing the American citizens about what is really going on in the halls of government.

If the average American were made aware of just a handful of these stories that wreak of vile corruption – and the hundreds of others that do not make it into our daily ‘news reports’ each year -- the political climate in this country would change so dramatically that the opportunity to restore America to her former greatness would seem inevitable, rather than the dying ember it appears to be today.

There were conflicting reports coming out of Loredo ‘authorities’...they should have all FLAT denied it.
That said, too much time has passed. If I lived within 50 miles of the place, I’d be there to find out. We should have had more confirmation from locals by now.

I do suspect that this story will turn out to have been fabricated. My debate with MindBender is beyond the strict facts (or lack of them) of this story -- but has more to do with his apparent belief that the media don't really pick and choose what they will relay to the American people.

Best to you and yours, AuntB --

the opportunity to restore America to her former greatness would seem inevitable...

That opportunity approaches even now, the question
remains will we be prepared to take the actions necessary to curtail this usurpation from happening again? Will what ever administration we put in place investigate and punish
those who have corrupted and abused our system of government?

These are criminal actions taken against the people, and
if unpunished, will only result in continued attempts
at socialist control. Without some form of justice, all our desire for a just government will disappear at the next liberal socialist administration that gets control.
If they were to come to power again, they will take
steps to ensure their complete dominance.

Just as Obama and his administration learned from the
failed Clinton attempt and resulting lack of any consequences for his criminal acts, Obama has managed to push debilitating policies that will constrain freedom and liberty, a truly ruthless regime will not allow an opposition to restrain their drive for total government.

That opportunity approaches even now …

As is usually the case, dear Friend, your optimism far exceeds mine. I pray every day that your (and others’) outlook is justified, and that I am simply looking at my beloved republic from an unnecessarily dark perspective.

As I see it, America is now infected with an apathy, self-indulgence and sloth that represent the core reason for our impending fall. Yes, there are courageous and vigilant pockets of citizens ... 'tea party' organizers and faithfuls among them ... who remember the vision and sacrifice of, and stern and heartfelt warnings issued by, our Founders ... and who revere the American Constitution as the most magnificent blueprint for governance ever conceived by the mind of man.

But such patriots find themselves in an ever-decreasing minority. America's 'leadership' in Washington, the mainstream media, institutions of 'higher learning', and the ever more powerful 'entertainment industry' now hold the reins of public opinion with an iron-fisted grip. All four of those powerful opinion-makers for more than six decades have been systematically infiltrated by left-leaning ideologues bent on 'transforming' our Founders' vision into something frighteningly grotesque and diabolical: the implementation of an ideology that considers individual human liberty ... and all of the belief in 'right' and 'wrong', progress, productivity and sense of personal responsibility that that precious commodity engenders ... to be its most threatening enemy.

It is a mass ignorance of our noble roots, combined with a laziness and unwillingness to consider them at all, that has allowed evil men to gain, and scheme to retain in perpetuity, the upper hand. And the U.S. Constitution, and the concept (and reality) of individual liberty, have found themselves premeditatedly murdered in the process.

The pockets of citizens who actually see the emperor without his clothes have now begun to feel a kinship with that courageous young Chinese student who attempted to face-down a military tank in Tiananmen Square. The tanks are indeed mobilizing. They have become arrogant with power and will no longer be denied the completion of their assignment ... and the majority of the citizenry is too busy watching reality TV to recognize and acknowledge their movement. President Obama's popularity remains consistently in the neighborhood of 50%, in spite of mountains of liberty-loathing, criminally unconstitutional pronouncements and policymaking. And our open borders, rampant voter fraud, and the registering of questionable (at best) people who have no business voting in a free republic, are crafted to ensure that a constitutional conservative will never again occupy the White House.

For the first time in America's history, the mass 'ignorance is bliss' philosophy embraced by the American populace, as well as the massive, historically unprecedented unconstitutional power grab being perpetrated by Washington, can no longer be turned back. Educational indoctrination is irreversible; election results will increasingly find themselves dictated by groups such as ACORN and SEIU; as taxes and bureaucratic regulations on small businesses increase, more and more American jobs will be government jobs and fewer and fewer will be in the private sector; and as an increasing number of Americans find themselves standing in unemployment lines for much more than a year (while our 'altruistic leadership' increases the unemployment compensation timeline), America will become an entirely socialist state, with the citizenry completely dependent on government 'largesse' and bureaucratic dictate for their very existence. Not only has our current 'leaderhip' amassed massive unconstitutional power, but they intend to stack the deck so that that power is now omnipotent and irreversible.

What is more evil than men conspiring, in smoke-filled rooms, to serve as mini-gods, and couching in pious, altruistic words a gargantuan crusade to seat themselves as a ruling elite and render their countrymen subservient to their rulings?

Answer: A populace whose heritage and forebears were noble beyond anything ever before experienced by mankind, and yet who have chosen to passively allow the success of the above.

God bless all American patriots! Receive your peace of mind from the knowledge that there will indeed be a final judgment, and the Judge who sits in that seat of authority knows the real content of every man’s heart.

(No response necessary. Continued best to you and yours in these troubling times ... )

“The approximate location of the U.S. ranches are10 miles northwest of I-35 off Mines Road and Minerales Annex Road. Just off 1472 (Mines road) near Santa Isabel Creek south of the city of Laredo, Texas.”

As I posted previously, you can’t be south of Laredo and NW of IH35. Map reading 101 would tell anyone that. At least that part of it is a hoax.
