REYNOSA - Trusted CHANNEL 5 NEWS sources confirm a potentially dangerous situation is unfolding along the border.
According to multiple law enforcement agencies, the Zetas are preparing for an assault on the Reynosa area. The battle is supposed to begin this weekend. We're told it will likely last longer.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS contacts at DPS and other law enforcement agencies have confirmed this information is "legitimate and very real."

Reynosa is a small town over the border from McAllen, Tx. Approx 45 m/1hr (est) drive west of of the coast. I visited both of them a couple of times years ago to see friends and really liked the area. Reynosa was considered somewhat safe back then (as long as you went with someone who knew the area and didn’t head into unwanted territory as any town). I was hoping all the border crime would stay west of that area. Must have been too much to hope for.
Not sure how true this is anymore, but initially the Zetas were practically Special Forces in the Mexican Army. So, imagine, say, Delta Force, breaking off from the military and working for drug cartels. That’s the Zetas (or at least, that’s how they started).
(Regarding the leaked memo)
Also, I read that a former Mexican Federal Officer was recently killed in Reynosa, he was head of their Public Works.
I’ll take the two in the lighter colors to launch an offensive against me.

You obviously don’t watch ‘Secret Warriors’ on Discovery.
The Policia Federal has an elite intervention force to be reckoned with.
That’s my thought....why hasn’t the US sent Military troops with a plan to take all these thugs out on our border, since they do cross it? Just knock them all off. After all what part of “WAR” on our border doesn’t this administration understand?
RE Zetas: Kill all they send, and they won’t send anymore.
For every American citizen that dies, take one hundred Zeta heads.
“Cry havoc & let slip the rednecks”.
Problem solved.
WTF is a ZETA?
The zetas are the enforcement arm of the drug gangs. They are mercanaries who are armed up with mitilary weapons. The last time they went postal, they attacked 8 Mexican army bases in a very well coordinated attack. Now they are fixin to raise hell in Reynosa, the sister city of McAllen, Texas. And on our side, the Texas department of public safety (state troopers) and the border county and city law enforcement are the only ones on our side of the border to protect US citizens from an agressive foreign army. Meanwhile we have two large army bases, Ft. Hood and Ft. Bliss. Hey Feds, how about some help here.
Notice the zetas don’t try this crap during deer season?
“You obviously don’t watch ‘Secret Warriors’ on Discovery. The Policia Federal has an elite intervention force to be reckoned with.”
They’ve been saying that for decades, decades, yes, decades. Every last “elite intervention force” has been on the take. They usually operate on behalf of someone in government who is corrupt. I saw that show and the only thing I could think of is that even the President of Mexico is a criminal, so just who are these “elite intervention forces” working for?
“...Cry havoc ...”
The worst possible thing ANY outside force could do is to remind Americans that we are STILL Americans...the best natural Riflemen in the World. As natural to us as breathing...
If these people keep this crap up, they will find out, much to their extreme hazard, that that particular “Americanism” still holds true.
Not “behind every blade of grass”, but behind every rock, hill, scrubbrush, arroyo, tree, window, door, etc.
From Wikipedia:
Los Zetas is a criminal organization in Mexico dedicated mostly to international illegal drug trade. This drug cartel was founded by an elite force of assassins from Mexican Army deserters and is now integrated by corrupt ex-federal, state, and local police officers, as well as ex-Kaibiles from Guatemala.
This group of highly trained gunmen was first hired as a private mercenary army for Mexico’s Gulf Cartel. Since the arrest of its leader, Osiel Cárdenas Guillen, as well as other events, the two entities became a combined trafficking force, with the Zetas taking a more active leadership role in drug trafficking.[2][3][4][5] Since February 2010 Los Zetas have gone independent and became enemies of its former employer/partner, the Gulf Cartel.
Los Zetas are led by Heriberto “El Lazca” Lazcano and are considered by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as probably being the most technologically advanced, sophisticated and violent paramilitary enforcement group in Mexico.[6][7] Los Zetas have expanded their operations to Italy with the ‘Ndrangheta.[8]
I took this photo on the occasion of my grandmother's 100th birthday which we celebrated on the farm.
The only security is at the Int'l bridge over the Rio Grande. There are Border Patrol in the area but stretched to the limit. Many have been calling for Troops along the border. I believe the Feds are scared to death of an International incident that will bring us into a shooting war with our good neighbors to the South. I've got to get my parents off the frackin' border but they won't budge. My family planted those orange and grapefruit orchards in 1954, the year i was born. Thats where i learned to drive a tractor and irrigate fields growing up.
Not so sure about that. The Mexicans did at one time have a very powerful army and caused problems for our country for nearly a century.
So did the French and the Spanish. Now, not so much.
