“Hezbollah at the Border”
by Connie Hair07/15/2010
SNIPPET: “Signs are growing that the terror group Hezbollah has expanded its long-established influence with South and Central American drug cartels into a working presence in Mexico.”
Why is it we have to go running off to other countries only to be embroiled in insurgencies when we don’t take care of the one in this country?
A bit Off Topic.

China in business with drug cartels
Examiner ^ | Feb. 4, 2011 | Dave Gibson
Posted on February 7, 2011 10:42:14 AM PST by AuntB
Last week, Mexican authorities seized over 23 tons of ethyl phenylacetate, which is used in the manufacture of methamphetamine. The drug component was discovered at the Pacific port of Manzanillo, in a shipment from China.
In April 2010, Mexican officials seized 80 tons of phenylacetic acid and its derivatives shipped from Shanghai, China. Imports of ethyl phenylacetate require authorization from the country’s health ministry, so the shipments are intentionally mis-labeled before leaving China.
Last year, an anonymous U.S. official told Reuters that between October and November 2010, Mexican authorities seized 818 tons of chemicals used in making crystal meth.
Due to rampant corruption among port officials, the cartels are allowed to receive large shipments of the chemicals from China which are transported to meth labs throughout Mexico.
The chemicals are used in a production process known as phenyl-2-propanone (P2P method), and cost much less than pseudoephedrine, thus increasing the cartels’ profits.
In 2009 alone, the Mexican police and military found 215 meth labs, a 400 percent increase of the labs discovered in 2008.
90 percent of the methamphetamine sold in the U.S. is brought into this country from Mexico and distributed by several street gangs such as the notoriously violent MS-13.
Now is that anyway for Obama’s national security force to act?

Well, it isn’t just gangs that use social media, jihadis do, too.

DEA Raids Car Dealership with Alleged Ties to Terrorist Group Hezbollah
Fox News ^ | 12/18/11 | Fox News
Posted on December 18, 2011 7:59:04 PM PST by Nachum
Drug Enforcement Administration agents have raided an Oklahoma car dealership that the government suspects may be one of about 30 such businesses in the U.S. involved in funding the terrorist group Hezbollah.
DEA agents say the car lot of Ace Auto Leasing in Tulsa is part of a huge network that is selling cars and drugs — and then using the money to support terrorism against the U.S., myfoxphoenix.com reports.
During Friday’s raid, agents could be seen carryout out filing cabinets and other items. They also questioned employees and took inventory.
“They’re making big time money and it’s going right into weapons acquisition, terrorist training, recruiting, corruption. Things needed to carry out terrorist attacks across the world,” said Rusty Payne of the DEA. “Some of that money is flowing back to the United States, back to these used car companies, to purchase more used cars to ship them to West Africa to sell those at a profit and then mix those used car proceeds in with the drug dollars.”

Abstract The phenomenon of homegrown jihadi terrorism may at first seem inscrutable. On closer examination it appears to be a kind of gang activity, rooted in particular communities and arising from informal social networks. Criminology has occupied itself with the study of gangs for at least the last 80 years and much of that may be directly applicable in terms of both theory and research findings. Individuals who are part of these terrorist gangs proceed through a process of radicalization that has been well-delineated. Whether an individual will transit though all the stages of radicalization, becoming part of a gang that will at least attempt acts of terrorism, will depend on differentials of opportunity and of association. It may be possible to develop a theory of Differential Jihadization, which can both explain the phenomenon to researchers, and assist practitioners in assessing the threat that a gang may represent. Future research should examine such homegrown jihadi gangs in light of contemporary criminal gangs, and the Internet is a likely common turf where members of both types of gangs can be found, observed, and compared.
Looks like the community agitator is doing a great job.
