Politic?

This is a blog dedicated to a personal interpretation of political news of the day. I attempt to be as knowledgeable as possible before commenting and committing my thoughts to a day's communication.

Drug Terror

It seems that drug lords and Islamist jihadists have much in common in their vicious penchant for remorseless blood-letting. Little wonder that in countries like Afghanistan tribal warlords and Islamists both find involvement with opiate drugs irresistible to fund their cause for domination of society, enabling them to continue their murderous course of targeting schoolgirls, their teachers, innocent passersby, and just about anyone who presents by chance as a victim to instruct those who defy them that there is honour in atrocities.

Mexico, on its way to becoming a viable North American state, achieving benefit from more open markets for trade and services with its continental partners, fell by the wayside, thanks to the imperatives of drug trafficking. When a dread cancer is in the process of establishing itself, its presence must be identified and swiftly eradicated. Given the opportunity through lack of attention and due diligence it will thrive, metastasize, and corrupt the body in which it resides.

In Mexico now, no one is safe. Not ordinary, uninvolved civilians who just happen to be in the wrong place at the right time, nor police, nor federal agents, nor armed troops, or even government ministers are safe from heedless slaughter. Police chiefs of towns which have been infested by drug dealers become society's first-line defence in the past tense if they refuse to avert their attention from these predators.

Horror stories of mass killings by drug gangs have resulted in seven thousand deaths, along with torture, decapitations, bodies hanging in public view, or found at roadsides commonly seen atrocities. Mexico's government has deployed almost 50,000 troops in an attempt to staunch the flow of blood and drugs. In that order, or any other; some cessation of each would suffice to indicate a modest but welcome modicum of success.

But there is no relief in sight. The drug lords and their gangs simply move on and forward in their determination to utterly destroy civil society for the greater good of their freedom to distribute illicit drugs. It is their will to wallow in the proceeds of moving drugs. Which will, for the most part, destroy lives in greater abundance than their law-and-life-mocking attacks on law enforcement in the country.

The most warped mind would be challenged to visualize more brutal scenarios of utter disinterest in the value of human life. These gangs represent a barbaric throwback to a time in the dim history of the world when roving psychopaths had few organized entities to halt their conscienceless attacks on people, robbing them of their lives and their worldly possessions.

A successful raid by special forces marines that placed a boss of a major drug cartel permanently out of commission, and which also saw the death during that operation of special forces marine Melquisdet Angulo saw him praised as a hero by the Mexican navy. His naming had dire consequences. Following his funeral, when his family were gathered in the family home they experienced a surprise visit.

Gunmen firing assault rifles broke down the door of the home with a sledgehammer and shot everyone in the home to death. His mother will no longer stand as a beneficiary of a lifelong government pension as a tribute to her son's bravery in confronting the druglord and his vassals.
