Rancher claims Mexican cartels takeover Texas ranch -Police blotter confirms story is not a hoax
San Diego Examiner ^ | August 10th, 2010 | Kimberly Dvorak

After 16 days of denials by Laredo law enforcement and local officials regarding a Mexican drug cartel takeover of a Laredo area ranch, a Texas police blotter proves the alleged incident did in fact happen and that multiple agencies responded to the scene of a seized U.S. ranch.

Think about it for a moment.

One of the most brutal drug cartels operating in Mexico crossed the U.S. border and took a ranch from its lawful owner.

Intimidation has arrived along the southern border.

The police blotter tells the story of the events that unfolded on July 23rd;

“On Friday 7-23-10 Laredo Webb informed that their county SWAT Team is conducting an operation in the Mines Rd. area. According to LT. Garcia with LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) received a call from a ranch owner stating that the Zetas had taken over his ranch. As per the 17 (reporting person) he informed them that they stated La Compania (area name for Zetas) was taking the ranch and no one was permitted on the ranch without permission. SO (Sheriff Office) will have an unmarked green Ford Taurus with two officers stationed at Los Compadres and a white Chevy Tahoe with two officers stationed at Mineral Rd. The LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) will maintain surveillance in the area and advise if action is taken. Susp (suspect) Veh (vehicle) are described as a gray or silver Audi, a BLK (black) Escalade or Navigator and a van truck with a logo of a car wash spot free on the side. Border Patrol also has their response team on scene. Also known info of BMW’s and Corvettes entering and leaving the area. Auth LT Lichtenberger if assistance is requested LPD (Laredo Police Department) will secure the outer perimeter. (07/24/10 07:42:10 NR1873)”

Cartels have crossed the sovereign borders of the United States causing multiple agencies to respond and the end result was a media blackout. It’s well documented that media blackouts in Mexico are happening because the cartels are threatening reporters and news outlets with bodily harm. The question is why American law enforcement agencies are giving reporters the “We can neither confirm nor deny the incident happened line?”

It was a law enforcement officer on the scene that also confirmed the incident in fact happened and officers on the ground said they “considered this an act of war.”

The cover-up surrounding this story has reverberated throughout other federal law enforcement agencies. A recently retired ICE veteran, John Sakelarides had plenty to say about the latest U.S. incursion.

“What do you call an invasion by foreign nationals who are armed and occupy territory belonging to a sovereign nation? An act of war. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Anyone who is denying this is what has occurred and that it constitutes an act of war is either an idiot or is somehow involved in this act of war.”

He continues to say, “If they (those covering-up the story) are elected representatives or government officials and they are aware that an act of war has been perpetrated against the United States, and refuse to admit it has occurred, much less do anything about it, is violating their oath of office.”

The approximate location of the U.S. ranch taken by the Zetas was 10 miles northwest of I-35 off Mines Road and Minerales Annex Road.

The Los Zetas drug cartel is an offshoot of the elite Mexican military trained in special ops, many of whom were trained by the U.S. military. The mercenary organization is said to include members of corrupt Mexican Federales, politicians as well as drug traffickers. The group was once part of the Gulf cartel, but has splintered and now directly competes with the Gulf cartel for premium drug smuggling routes in the Texas region.

The leader of Los Zetas cartel is Heriberto “El Lazca” Lazcano and the Zetas are considered the most violent paramilitary group in Mexico by the DEA. These drug cartels routinely kidnap tourists, infiltrate local municipalities and smuggle large quantities of narcotics into the U.S. marketplace.

A media firestorm ensued after this reporter posted a story on Saturday July 24, 2010. Now that the story is corroborated, it will be up to local media to track down what events took place after the Zetas seized a U.S ranch.

What does it take to get this government off its duff? This is an armed invasion, and Zero does absolutely nothing. If this radical criminal is elected again, I'm developing a bugout plan.

Those of us who were excoriated when we first began talking about this have been vindicated!!! Everyone Thought the government could not possibly have covered something like this up and kept it out of the media. We have a government that is more evil then most realize.

The only comment after the story

Well, it looks like a gigantic lie. Hell, I could create a white on black image with no sheriff logo or county logo and say it's real. You need to take this fake story down. If you don't, I'm going to tell everyone I know to stop reading material from this site because it is worse than Jeff Rense and Alex Jones.

When Pancho Villa did much the same, we sent John J. Pershing and George Patton into Mexico. They took armored cars, and even aircraft. Lots of horses too of course.

They didn't get Villa, but they did get lots of his henchmen, and he never invaded the US again.

If the useless POS in the White House wont do anything, Congress CAN and SHOULD call out the militia as provided in the Constitution Article I, Section 8. “The Congress shall have power ...... To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.”

DO IT, DAMMIT.

It is time the states armed themselves. The Federal government has failed to its job. The state governors should avail themselves of their armed citizens, form their own militias, and secure the border, since the Federals won’t.

” When Pancho Villa did much the same,....”

When Pancho did much the same, it was banner headlines, instead of news blackouts and denials....

Don’t expect congress to do anything. The majority of them are gutless wonders just like the piece of crap we have in the WH.

Ranchers need to take matters into their own hands. Just remember; dead men tell no tales.

The former sheriff of Midland Co. TX stopped a pickup several years back at a sobriety checkpoint. The truck had several middle eastern types along with automatic weapons and explosives. The feds picked them up, along with all the police reports. I heard him talking about it on a local talk radio station in Lubbock. He refuses to talk about it now. Can’t vouch for its truth, however.

Good idea. I would get between them and the border. Don’t let them out and then wipe them out. It’s time, not for the National guard, but the Marines or Navy Seals. But..........out President is the biggest coward in the country. He doesn’t have the balls to even go there and see what is really going on.

Local law enforcement has already shot down this supposedly follow up confirmation story.

Can’t be true...just true that Texas prisons are full of gang members from many south of the border and south of its border lowlifes.
