  • Physical Silver Demand Explodes in Mexico-More Silver Sold in Past 2 Weeks Than Entire Q1! 
    by http://silverdoctors.com/ 
    I’m bringing this story as an exclusive to readers here : after the latest attacks on the gold and silver markets, physical demand for the famous one ounce silver “Libertad”  has soared in Mexico. In January, February and March, the total Libertad sales by the Bank of Mexico was 46,714, 82,634 and 44,063 ounces, respectively. As of Wednesday April 23, Banxico had already sold more than 174,000 ounces this month!
    -
    In other words, more silver was sold by the Bank of Mexico in just the first 23 days of April than were sold in the entire first three months of the year combined!

    Domestic savers are awakening from a long sleep well, prompting in 2012, it had unafuerte fall in demand for these coins,as we reported in January. After this “break” last year, Mexican investors are returning not to liquidate ounces, but to buy all they can.
    -
    And according to data provided by the Bank of Mexico (Banxico) to this reporter, through official OFI006-8614 , on Wednesday April 23, they had already sold more than 174,000 ounces this month.
    -
    In other words, more silver was sold in just the first 23 days in April than were sold in the entire first three months of the year combined, and most likely the majority of sales occurred during the last two weeks! In January, February and March, the total of these coins put into circulation was 46,714, 82,634 and 44,063, respectively.
    -
    Why sell like hotcakes? Well, input silver Libertad coins are prices not seen since 2010, about 350 pesos each to date. A 40 percent cheaper than just two years ago in late April 2011, when they played their record over 610 pesos. Most of the banks offer their customers, but I suggest you compare prices before buying.
    -
    The most important thing is to understand that the main reason that this demand has been fired, is that gold and silver are the ultimate safe havens, real money,which has been offering half of the economic crisis that is far from over in the world. It’s as if someone had put a lifeguard present sinking ship.
    -
    It is gratifying that Mexico is not the exception to the rule, as in other parts of the planet is also experiencing this fever for physical precious metals. In the U.S., the Mint (U.S. Mint) had to cancel this week selling their coins tenth ounce of gold, then sold their stock. To date sales accumulated 203 000 500 ounces of gold, rather than the previous two months together and that total January.
    -
    In a previous post, figured out how the World Gold Council (WGC, for its acronym in English), described as a “massive wave” the appetite of investors for monetary precious metals. Also how in China and India, the main consumers internationally, there are reports of high premiums, that is, cost overruns, that people are willing to pay just to get coins or bullion, on the other hand, are scarce in Dubai .

Reality Check: Fast and Furious Operation Was Really About U.S. Supporting A Drug Cartel?

January 10, 2013 Posted by | GeoPolitics, Social Trends | , , , , , , , , , , , | Comments Off

US Government Let Mexican Cartel Hit Men Kill in U.S., Senior Lawman Told Stratfor!

  • Who runs the America and the west? A Satanic cabal ! The global drug trade is owned/controlled by the 13 Satanic bloodlines which run governments. The drug trade is controlled via Illuminist intelligence agencies: CIA, MI5/6 … etc. This is not to say that everyone in these agencies are Satanists. It is the people in the top echelons who are Illuminists-Satanists!

    Feds Let Mexican Cartel Hit Men Kill in U.S., Senior Lawman Told Stratfor! 
    by , http://thenewamerican.com/ 
    The U.S. government allowed Mexican drug cartel hit men working as “confidential informants” for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to murder people inside the United States, an American federal law enforcement supervisor told the private intelligence firm Stratfor in e-mails released by WikiLeaks. ICE neither confirmed nor denied the allegations when contacted by The New American.
    -
    The explosive leaked documents containing the claims were part of a massive batch of e-mails stolen by hackers from the Texas-based intelligence-gathering firm. Among other startling allegations, official sources in the Mexican and U.S. governments told the company that American special-operations forces were in Mexico under the guise of fighting the drug war.
    -
    Additionally, a U.S.-based Mexican diplomat and other sources claimed that Washington, D.C., was working with certain favored drug cartels — especially Sinaloa — in an effort to put smaller criminal organizations out of business. The e-mails echoed allegations made in numerous reports and statements by officials, drug-cartel operatives, and other sources, indicating that the U.S. government was deeply involved in the narcotics trade.
    -
    Perhaps the most astounding information, however, had to do with the U.S. government allegedly allowing Mexican cartel hit men across the border into the United States to murder targets. A Stratfor source identified in the documents as “US714,” whom the firm described as a “US law enforcement officer with direct oversight of border investigations,” made that explosive accusation in an e-mail dated April of last year.  
    -
    “Regarding ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] screwing up informants: They [ICE] were handling big hit men from Juarez and letting them kill in the U.S.,” explained the federal law enforcement supervisor, who in a separate e-mail also said American troops were already in Mexico engaged in joint operations with Mexican forces. 
    -
    Instead of expressing shock about the major allegations against ICE, a Stratfor employee responded by mentioning that the intelligence-gathering outfit had already written about the issue, pointing to a 2009 piece published online entitled “Confidential Informants: A Double-Edged Sword.” In that article, Stratfor highlighted the story of a confidential ICE informant, Ruben Rodriguez Dorado, who was involved in the murder of yet another confidential ICE source in Texas.
    -
    When asked by The New American about the federal law enforcement supervisor’s allegations in the correspondence with Stratfor, ICE refused to either confirm or deny the accusations. Instead, ICE spokesman Brandon Montgomery with the Department of Homeland Security offered a statement explaining the importance of confidential informants to criminal investigations.

China in Closed Door Negotiations To Purchase Mexican Crude Oil Without Using US Dollar!

  • China in closed door negotiations to purchase Mexican crude oil without using US Dollar! 
    by Von Helman, http://www.indymedia.co.uk/en/ 
    Mexican crude oil to be sold to China without using the US dollar as its trading currency     
    -
    Sources inside the Mexican government refuse to confirm that the Mexico government has been in secret negotiations with China over possible crude oil sales to China without using the US dollar.
    -
    China officials claim meetings held with the Mexican government and Petróleos Mexicanos (or Pemex) are for investment and economic growth inside Mexico. Crude oil purchases fall under this heading however officials on both sides in the past have stopped short of publicly discussing crude oil or any talks related to any special agreements relating to crude oil purchases.
    -
    Sources inside Mexico claim this week that China has in fact brokered a secret deal with Pemex to purchase crude oil using currency means other than the US Dollar. The details of this agreement are still unknown at this time but China is expected to make a public announcement within the next few days.
    -
    Over the past ten years with new trade agreements China has invested billions of dollars inside Mexico. China has helped the Mexican government create jobs and has financially supported investments in the privatization of ports and infrastructure throughout Mexico. Mexico continues to privatize large sectors of its economy and China is line to benefit from additional investments inside Mexico.
    -
    Since the 2009 global economic crisis Mexico’s central bank has been quietly purchasing large quantities of gold. Mexico Central bank buys 100 tonnes of gold

    Global finical markets are very concerned with trading oil in other currencies other than the US Dollar as doing so is actually helping to rapidly destabilize the US dollar even further. Russia and China announced this week that they have also entered into an agreement between the two countries to trade crude oil using their own currencies and not the US dollar.
    -
    Many experts have warned such actions of replacing the US dollar as the trade currency for crude oil in any country will cause the US immediate, sever, and devastating consequences that could lead to the US Dollar losing its value almost overnight. Factoring in that Mexico is one of the largest exporters of crude oil to the USA this news is especially troubling for the US Dollar.

    As more countries around the world openly admit they are losing confidence in the US dollar there is no doubt that the US dollar is in grave peril of imminent and total collapse. In a news conference last week before federal policy makers the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said; “I don’t think our tools are strong enough to offset the effects of a major fiscal shock, so we’d have to think about what to do in that contingency”

Hasta La Vista US: Mexicans Wave Goodbye as Crisis Deepens!

Russia And Mexico Both Buy Nearly $1 Billion Worth of Gold in March!

  • The bull market in gold and silver still has a long way to go. The great parabolic increase in prices is still ahead of us! Central banks are dumping USD for gold! That tells you how much confidence they have in fiat currencies!
    -
    Russia and Mexico Both Buy Nearly $1 Billion Worth of Gold in March! 
    by http://www.goldcore.com/ 
    Mexico, Russia and Central Banks Continue Diversifying into Gold While gold demand from the western investors and store of wealth buyers has fallen in recent months, central bank demand continues to be very robust and this is providing strong support to gold above the $1,600/oz level. IMF data released overnight shows that Mexico added 16.8 metric tons of gold valued at about $906.4 million to its reserves in March.
    -
    Russia continued to diversify its foreign exchange reserves and increased its gold reserves by about 16.5 tons according to a statement by its central bank on April 20.
    -
    Other creditor nations with large foreign exchange reserves and exposure to the dollar and the euro including Turkey and Kazakhstan also increased their holdings of gold according to the International Monetary Fund data. Mexico raised its reserves to 122.6 tons last month when gold averaged $1,676.67 an ounce.
    -
    Turkey added 11.5 tons, Kazakhstan 4.3 tons, Ukraine 1.2 tons, Tajikistan 0.4 ton, and Belarus 0.1 tonnes, according to the IMF. Ukraine, Czech Republic and Belarus also had modest increases in their gold reserves.
    -
    Central banks are expanding reserves due to concerns about the dollar, euro, sterling and all fiat currencies. There is an increasing realisation amongst central bankers that gold is a less risky alternative to most paper currencies and a recent survey showed that that majority of central bank reserves managers were favourable towards gold.
    -
    Signifying the mood of caution among the world’s central bankers, 71% of those polled said gold was a more attractive investment than it had been at the start of last year. Central banks added 439.7 tons last year, the most in almost five decades, and may buy a similar amount if not more in 2012, the World Gold Council and many analysts believe.
    -
    Turkey’s central bank increased the proportion of required reserves that commercial banks can deposit in gold last year. The changes have increased the amount of bullion the country, which owns 209.6 tons, declares in its official reserves.

Chiapas Governor 6 Minutes Before Earthquake: “We’re Ready for The Mega Earthquake Drill”!

  • Is this a coincidence or was the earthquake man-made? You decide. This earthquake was initially reported as 7.9 before being revised lower to 7.4.
    -
    Chiapas Governor 6 minutes before earthquake: “We’re ready for the mega earthquake drill”! 
    By Mario Andrade, DeadlineLive.info, March 22, 2012
    The Mexican State of Chiapas held a ‘mega earthquake drill’ just minutes before the 7.8 Richter scale earthquake registered in Southern Mexico, according to the news website ADNPolitico.com. Governor Juan Sabines Guerrero sent a message from his Twitter account just six minutes before the actual earthquake. The translation of the message is the following:
    -
    “We’re at the State of Chiapas Civil Protection Center. Everything is ready for the 7.9 Richter scale earthquake simulation.”
    -
    Six minutes later, and about 500 kilometers west of Chiapas, in the neighboring southern state of Guerrero, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake was registered. The earthquake was so massive that over a hundred aftershocks were felt throughout the following day.
    -
    The Chiapas Civil Protection ‘mega earthquake simulation’ was planned since last February, according to state officials. The purpose of this drill was to test the responsiveness of the State Civil Protection System and the general public upon the occurrence of a large scale earthquake, and to allow the exercise participants to evaluate and provide feedback on first response protocol.
    -
    The Chiapas state government said that this geographical area is located in a region between three tectonic plates: The Cocos Plate, the Caribbean Plate and North American Plate.
    -
    State officials also emphasized that earthquakes are very common in that region. “Just in January, there were 188 earthquakes with epicenter in this state, over 50% of registered earthquakes in the country. That’s why we must be prepared to avoid or reduce undesirable effects of these earthquakes.” said a Chiapas state official.
    -
    The mega earthquake drill involved nearly 43,000 public officials and more than 19,600 school facilities. A list of documents, details of the simulation, location, and the drill schedule can be found on the Chiapas Civil Protection Website.

End of Nations: Canada, The US And The “Security Perimeter”! The North American Union (NAU) !

  • End of Nations: Canada, the US and the “Security Perimeter”
    by James Corbett grtv.ca 
    When Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and US President Barack Obama announced the much-anticipated border agreement between the two countries at a press conference in Washington last week, those mainstream media outlets that bothered to cover the story at all compensated for the lack of details about what specifically is going to be accomplished by this accord by focusing on issues of no practical significance.
    -
    The Globe and Mail, for example, ran an entire article about how Harper and Obama’s personal “friendship” allegedly effected the deal, which was in reality and admittedly struck by bureaucrats in months of closed-door negotiations.
    -
    A variety of trade magazines and corporate websites released vague laudatory statements about the “streamlining” of the border. But the story itself, which generated few headlines at all in the American media, was not about what specifically will change at the border so much as the border is increasingly being redefined as just one part of a broader security perimeter that in fact encompasses both the US and Canada.
    -
    The agreement in fact comprises two so-called “action plans,” one entitled Beyond The Border and the other the Regulatory Cooperation Council. The former plan focuses on border security with the explicit aim of creating a security perimeter that encompasses both countries. The latter is meant to harmonize regulations for business, facilitating cross-border trade.
    -
    The security agreement uses the threat of terrorism, crime and health securities to announce an increasing merger of the two countries’ border security, including an integrated entry-exit system that will involve full sharing of individuals’ biometric details between the two governments by 2014 and even the creation of integrated cross-border law enforcement teams with authority to collect intelligence and conduct criminal investigations on either side of the border.
    -
    The regulatory plan, meanwhile, aims to standardize agricultural regulations on such items as maximum pesticide residue limits as well as develop standards and regulations for potential future products and industries like nanotechnology.
    -
    Although the plans detail certain steps that can be or are being taken, the majority of the information is about agreed-upon shared values and the possibility of cooperation. In light of the relative paucity of detail about these “action plans,” media outlets chose to illustrate the general points of the agreement with seemingly random examples, such as this one about breakfast cereals.
    -
    Keen-eyed observers of this trivial example of the effects might have noted a striking similarity to the way that Prime Minister Harper tried to deflect criticism of the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement that sought to merge the governments, security forces and regulatory framework of the US, Mexico and Canada, back in 2007 by talking about jellybean regulations.
    -
    On one level, reducing these agreements to regulations on cereals and jelly beans marginalizes the legitimate criticism and fears about the erosion of national sovereignty implicit in these talks. It also serves to keep the public disinterested in the issues by painting them as dry and unimportant talks about bureaucratic affairs.
    -
    What this similarity in rhetoric unwittingly reveals, however, is how this latest agreement is in fact nothing new, and can only be properly understood as the latest point in a continuing process of merging the bureaucratic, regulatory and military functions of Canada and the US that has in fact been taking place for a decade.
    -
    In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the two countries began work on reshaping the nature of the world’s longest undefended border. This resulted in the Canada-US Smart Border Declaration, an agreement signed in December 2001 that contained much of the same rhetoric as the recent agreement, including vows to coordinate security and law enforcement efforts in the name of facilitating the flow of people and goods between Canada and the States.
    -
    This led into the Security and Prosperity Partnership, a trilateral framework between the governments of the US, Canada and Mexico that began a process of regulatory integration. Formally launched in 2005, the SPP quickly caught the attention of the public on both sides of the border, and as freedom of information requests shed more light on the process, including the almost total domination of the partnership in closed-door meetings by big business, the SPP’s annual summit quickly became a flashpoint for political activism.
    -
    In the light of public scrutiny, the SPP was shelved in 2009, but many of its initiatives and recommendations continue on behind the scenes. SPP documents, for example, show how Canada’s controversial no-fly list was in fact part of a trilateral agreement, with the 2006 report to leaders in fact mandating the program’s June 2007 launch date.
    -
    Meanwhile, the military merger of Canada and the US has proceeded in its own series of mutual agreements, beginning with the creation of NORTHCOM, the United States Northern Command, in 2002, which charged the US military with the protection of the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Mexico and Canada.
    -
    In February of 2008, the Canadian and American militaries signed an agreement allowing troops of either country to cross the border and carry out operations in the other country in the event of an emergency, such as civil unrest.
    -
    In 2010, the two countries signed the shiprider agreement, allowing the operation of specially designated vessels to patrol the shared waterways of the two countries by joint crew, consisting of both Canadian and American law enforcement. This agreement is cited in the new border proposal as an example of how cross-border policing can be implemented.

Obama Weighs Military Options in Mexico

mexico_drug_war1

  • The drug war in Mexico is escalating. There are real doubts the  Mexican government can handle it victoriously. With a population well over 100 million, the collapse of Mexico can destabilize the entire North America. America will be affected greatly.
     
  • Alex Johnson comments In Mexico’s drug wars, fears of a U.S. front :
     
    With U.S. forces fighting two wars abroad, the nation’s top military officer made an important visit last week to forestall a third. He went to Mexico.
     
    Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, made the trip to confer with Mexican leaders about the Merida Initiative, a three-year plan signed into law last June to flood the U.S.-Mexican border region with $1.4 billion in U.S. assistance for law-enforcement training and equipment, as well as technical advice and training to bolster Mexico’s judicial system. 
      
    The assistance is intended to help Mexican President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa step up his war against drug cartels. The drug lords and their soldiers are blamed for having killed more than 6,300 people since January 2008, including more than 1,000 in the first two months of this year alone.
     
    That’s about 100 people every week for the last 14 months.
    The cartels usually do not target civilians, but dozens, perhaps hundreds, have died in the crossfire.  “It’s a real war,” says Jorge Ramos, mayor of Tijuana, Mexico, across the border with San Diego. “We’re not faking.”
     
    The point of the U.S. initiative is not just to quell the violence in Mexico. More important for the Obama administration, it is to keep the violence from spilling across the border more than it already has, especially in the border states of Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico. The concern is very real. Mexican drug cartels already control about 90 percent of the cocaine trade across the United States and most of the market for marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin, with operations in 230 cities, according to the U.S. Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center. They have essentially supplanted the Colombian and Dominican criminal groups that terrorized major U.S. cities through the 1980s and ’90s, the agency said. 

       …….
    Texas pleads for U.S. troops
    Now, to hear Texas Gov. Rick Perry tell it, U.S. resources are being focused too much on Mexico and not enough on Americans on this side of the border.
     
    Last month, Perry called on the Department of Homeland Security to send 1,000 troops to the U.S. side of the border. Complaining that the federal government had not done enough to protect Americans in the border region, Perry dismissed potential constitutional concerns about assigning active-duty U.S. personnel to military operations inside the United States, saying bluntly, “I really don’t care.”
     
    Similar fears are taking root in Arizona, where law-enforcement officials last month urged the Legislature to dedicate more state resources to protecting communities in the border region. The Mexican city of Sonora, they said, was emerging as a central battleground just across the border.
        
    “This is organized crime,” Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard testified before a state Senate panel. “The enemy we are combating is extremely well organized, extremely disciplined and extremely well trained.”
     
    Nor is the threat merely regional. The National Drug Intelligence Center lists 230 U.S. cities in 45 states where the drug trade is controlled by Mexican cartels. Many are concentrated along the Mexican border, of course: 30 in Texas, 27 in California and nine in Arizona, for example. But the center also lists 22 cities in Washington state and five in Idaho. With their long unprotected northern border, the states are a prime gateway for cartel-affiliated drug smugglers into Western Canada.
     
    Twelve cities in North and South Carolina, where large Latino immigrant populations fuel the states’ textile industries, are on the list. So are eight in Ohio. In Alabama, which has six cities on the list, Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry said investigators believed that the torture-murders in August of five men in Birmingham were linked to Mexican-controlled drug operations.
      
    “It was clear to me that I was not fishing in a Shelby County pond,” Curry said. The list even includes three cities in Hawaii and one in Alaska.
     
    “The fact that they have taken over the drug trade in North America is one thing, but what they have done is they are proliferating throughout the United States,” said Fleming, the author of “Drug Wars.”
     
    “You can look at the drug problem, and that’s one facet of it,” he said. “But when you start having narco terrorists operating on U.S. soil with the abilities that these organizations have, you have now instituted a tremendous threat to the national security structure of our country.” 

     
  • There is no doubt the fighting will spill over into America. This will be the beginning of a new war for America. The real intent is the merger of Mexico and America followed by Canada ie the North American Union (NAU) as defined in the SPP (Security & Prosperity Partnership).
     
  • So, what is President Obama’s next step in this brewing crisis? Mark my words it will be a military ‘assistance’ option, sending US troops into the fray. Anne Gearan reports in Mullen offers Mexico update to Obama :
      
    President Barack Obama was briefed Saturday by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen about the drug wars in Mexico and wanted to know how the United States can help.
     
    “Clearly one of the things the president was interested in was the U.S military capability that may or may not apply to our cooperation with the Mexicans,” said a U.S. military official who requested anonymity because the discussions were private. “He was very interested in what kind of military capabilities may be applied.”
     
    Mullen briefed Obama on Saturday morning about discussions with Mexican military leaders about the drug wars there. Mullen, who was in Mexico on Friday, has referred to the recent spike in violence as a crisis. Mullen has said Mexico could borrow from U.S. tactics in the fight against terrorism as it battles a crisis of drug-related violence along the U.S.-Mexico border.
     
    On Saturday, the military official said the additional U.S. help could come in the form of U.S. equipment and intelligence-sharing. “We’re already sharing information with the Mexican military and have been looking for ways to expand that particularly in the realm of intelligence,” the official said.
     
  • Now you understand why the Federal government has never been keen to defend the integrity of American border with Mexico. You also understand why the Feds have been lax in enforcing illegal immigration laws especially with regards to Mexicans. We will see the eventual merger of the 2 countries soon. See also:
