TED CRUZ SAYS MILITARIZE THE U.S. - NARCOMEX BORDER...... Time to end defending of the borders of Muslim dictators?

MEXICO PLANS INVASION TO EXPAND LA RAZA OCCUPATION!

“More significant still, a former Mexican official, Jorge Castañeda, threatened to unleash Mexican cartels onto the U.S. to retaliate for deportations of illegal immigrants and the construction of a border wall. “

  




EXCLUSIVE: Ted Cruz Suggests U.S. Military Response to Mexican Cartels




9

LUBBOCK, Texas — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz suggested that the U.S. military should be used against Mexican transnational criminal groups (cartels). The statements were made during a one-on-one interview with the senator at the end of May at the Bayer Museum of Agriculture in Lubbock, Texas. The senator made clear that he was not suggesting unilateral U.S. military action in Mexico, but rather a cooperative effort, as seen in Colombia.

The portion of the interview pertaining to Mexican cartels follows.
BRANDON DARBY: One of the things that’s very interesting about Texas on the border, as you know, there’s nine sectors on the Southwest Border, five of which are in Texas. Part of the problem that we have in Texas is that two of the most brutal criminal groups south of the border, which actually operate north of the border as well, as you know, are Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel. But unlike most of the other criminal organizations in Mexico along our border, which would be Sinaloa, Juarez Cartel, Tijuana Cartel. Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel are extremely brutal. In fact, the videos they release resemble ISIS videos. We try to challenge them as much as possible, but what more could the U.S. do? There’s talk of declaring certain factions as foreign terror organizations so you could appropriately go after the money and the politicians. Again, Tamaulipas, a state below Texas, the last two governors are fugitives from U.S. justice for being surrogates of the Gulf Cartel. Several of the governors in Coahuila are now in trouble because they were Los Zetas. What more could the U.S. do to to challenge Mexican transnational criminal groups who operate in our country, who kill our kids? What could we do to challenge them?
SEN. TED CRUZ: We could do a great deal more. What has happened in the last decade with Mexican drug cartels has been nothing short of tragic. Mexico is a great and wonderful country. The Mexican people are wonderful people. Growing up in Texas, we spent a great deal of time in Mexico. Most Texans have long and deep commitments to Mexico. Whether family ties, or business ties, or cultural ties. Where Texans vacation in Mexico. Mexicans vacation in Texas.
In the past decade, we have seen the control and reign of terror of the cartels wreak enormous damage to the nation of Mexico. Where ordinary citizens are terrified for their lives. Where crime and kidnapping becomes almost routine and the corruption that goes hand and hand with billions of dollars of illegal narcotic trafficking resources combined with vicious violent transnational criminal cartels has done enormous damage to Mexico and enormous damage to America.
What can we do about it? One of the things I think we should explore very seriously is something along the lines of what we did in Colombia: Plan Colombia. Where President George W. Bush worked with President Uribe to target the cartels and take them out. It was treated less as a law enforcement matter than as a military matter. Where our military went into Colombia and helped destroy the cartels.
It did so on the invitation of the Colombian government. Look, we should not engage in a military action in Mexico without the active cooperation of the duly elected government there.
DARBY: I’m going to interrupt you and I apologize for doing so. How do, this is the issue with Mexico: Mexico’s ruling political party, the PRI, is in fact largely funded by transnational criminal organizations. The current Mexican president, Peña Nieto, and I don’t expect you to respond to it. I’m saying. He was largely put into office by money from the Juarez Cartel. The line between Mexican cartel and Mexican political leader on the highest levels is so fine, if even maybe nonexistent. How do you do that in a country where there’s so much public corruption?
CRUZ: It’s an enormous challenge and rule of law in Mexico is profoundly imperiled. Where the justice system doesn’t operate. Where far too many of the police and the prosecutors and the judges are corrupt. Where cartel enforcers, even if they are apprehended, are released within hours. It creates an environment that makes it profoundly difficult for government leaders to take on the corruption. We need American leadership to try to work to find Mexican government officials willing to do so and we need to use the tools we have in our country to secure the borders and shut down the trafficking. Shut down the narcotics trafficking, the human trafficking. And do everything we can to protect the American citizenry from the enormous damage being inflicted by the cartels.

Understanding Narco-Terrorism



To defeat terrorism, the United States should use federal criminal laws to aggressively target narco-terrorists. While narco-terrorism is frequently mentioned in the news, it is rarely explained properly, and as a result, many skeptics doubt its impact. Understanding how drug trafficking fuels terrorism is necessary to craft effective counterterrorism policy and to triumph in the global war on terror.
Narco-terrorism describes the nexus between drug trafficking and terrorism. This term covers a wide spectrum of behavior, but there are four primary types of narco-terrorism. As a special agent with the DEA, I investigated narco-terrorism for over a decade. After the narco-terrorism law was enacted in 2006, I made the first, precedent-setting arrest for narco-terrorism and I was the case agent for the first two narco-terrorism convictions. The link between narcotics trafficking and terrorism is significant and has been repeatedly proven in court.
The Basics
The crime of narco-terrorism is prosecuted under Title 21 US Code 960a -- Foreign Terrorist Organizations, Terrorist Persons, and Groups. To summarize, it is illegal for anyone to violate federal drug law then provide anything of pecuniary value to a person or organization engaging in terrorist activity or terrorism.
Federal drug laws, as defined under 21 USC 841, cover the possession, manufacture, and distribution of controlled substances, which meet a minimum weight threshold. Terrorist activity, as defined in 8 USC 1182, includes crimes such as hijacking, assassination, kidnapping, and use of weapons of mass destruction. Terrorism is defined, under 22 USC 2656, as politically motivated violence against noncombatants. So, narco-terrorism can involve people engaged in terrorist acts or those belonging to groups designated as terrorist organizations by the U.S. Department of State.
Four Types of Narco-Terrorism
1) Narco-terrorism describes drug traffickers who engage in terrorist activities to protect their business. Pablo Escobar is an example of this type of narco-terrorist. Under Escobar’s leadership, the Medellin Cartel in Colombia systematically targeted judges, prosecutors, and police, with the goal of furthering the cartel’s cocaine trafficking. Under this type of narco-terrorism, violence is used to further business interests, not ideology.
2) Narco-terrorism also characterizes terrorists who sell narcotics to fund terrorist activities. For example, I investigated a Taliban commander who purchased and resold a multikilogram shipment of heroin to generate funds for the purchase of expensive military weapons. This commander was normally a terrorist, not a trafficker, but he engaged in this profitable heroin deal to facilitate his operations.
3) A less common type of narco-terrorism involves criminals who have an equal interest in both terrorism and drug trafficking. Khan Mohammed, the first person arrested for narco-terrorism, was a successful opium trafficker and also a Taliban operative targeting U.S. troops. Khan Mohammed was both a terrorist and a drug trafficker, motivated by both profit and ideology.
4) The most common type of narco-terrorism is expressed by the symbiotic relationship between drug traffickers and terrorists. In this form, traffickers only deal drugs and terrorists only commit acts of terrorism, but they mutually support each other. Haji Bagcho, the world’s most prolific heroin trafficker, provided drug proceeds, weapons, and logistical assistance to Taliban leadership. In return, the Taliban protected Haji Bagcho’s drug production laboratories, attacked police and military, and murdered people cooperating with the government. The Taliban and Haji Bagcho’s organization committed different crimes, but they both engaged in narco-terrorism.
There are other variations of narco-terrorism. State-sponsored drug trafficking, by a government using terrorism as an instrument of national policy, may be considered narco-terrorism. Another variation is when drug trafficking by itself is used as a form of terrorism. Khan Mohammed said, “May God eliminate them (infidels) right now and we will eliminate them too. Whether it is by opium or by shooting, this is our common goal.”
Why it’s Important
A significant percentage of the world’s terrorist organizations are tied to drug trafficking. In 2016, the DEA determined that 22 of 59 designated terrorist organizations were involved with narcotics. That is 37 percent of the world’s most dangerous terrorist organizations and it doesn’t even address two groups officially designated in 2016. The percentage of terrorist organizations associated with drug trafficking is likely much higher than 37 percent, because many groups engaging in terrorist activities are not officially designated as terrorist groups by the State Department. The Afghan Taliban is one example of an undesignated terrorist group, which is heavily involved in drug trafficking.
Terrorism is an existential threat to the United States and is a priority in our national policy. Drug trafficking directly supports terrorism and counterterrorism efforts can’t be effective if the funding is ignored. Apart from the connection to terrorism, drug trafficking alone damages the rule of law and destabilizes countries. Directing intelligence and enforcement efforts towards narco-terrorism has the dual benefit of targeting both traffickers and terrorists.
Using the narco-terrorism law to arrest terrorists and the traffickers who support them is an effective tool for incapacitating both types of criminals. Prosecuting narco-terrorists in the judicial system allows transparency in the process and provides a long-term solution for two of the most serious threats to our national security.

ILLINOIS IN MELTDOWN..... Americans flee the near bankrupt state as billionaire Pritzker and AFL-CIO pick it off

"The union’s endorsement of Pritzker sets up 
the 2018 Illinois election to be a showdown 
between two major party candidates who are 
not merely representatives of the financial 
aristocracy, but are themselves members of 
the highest layer of that elite. Pritzker’s 
speedy endorsement by the AFL-CIO, 10 
months before the 2018 primaries, is only the 
latest example of the bankruptcy of the 
unions and their prostration before the 
financial elite."

Illinois unions endorse billionaire J.B. Pritzker for governor
By Kristina Betinis and Alexander Fangmann
12 June 2017
On June 6, the Illinois AFL-CIO, the state-level union umbrella organization, voted to endorse billionaire J.B. (Jay) Pritzker as the Democratic Party candidate for governor in the 2018 elections.
Pritzker is an heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune and a tech industry venture capitalist worth an estimated $3.5 billion. He announced his candidacy in April. Once referred to as “Chicago’s second mayor” by Chicago magazine, Pritzker is intimately involved with the development of Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s policies.
He and many others in his family advise the Democratic Party nationally. Penny Pritzker, Jay’s sister, was most recently secretary of commerce under President Obama. Five of the Pritzkers are listed among Illinois’ 16 billionaires, and six more are billionaires residing outside the state.
The socio-economic situation in the state of Illinois leading up to the November 6, 2018 elections is dire. The state has been without a budget for two years, leaving its colleges, universities and vital health and social service agencies to spend down their reserves, take on debt and beg from the public in order to continue operating. Multiple credit downgrades have been issued by the ratings agencies. The budget impasse orchestrated by both big business parties continues to drag on, with the two sides unable to come to an agreement on how best to slash spending on state workers’ pensions, health benefits and workers compensation.
In the context of the economic downturn following the 2008 financial crisis, the state budget impasse has accelerated certain trends, including depopulation. Illinois is currently leading the nation in population loss, with more than 105,000 residents leaving in 2016. Cities are leading the demographic decline, but rural areas have been affected too, and some towns in the southern part of the state have lost 15 to 17 percent of their population in recent years. Where the state university system was once a big draw, a reported 16,000 Illinois high school students this year went to other states for college and university education.
The union’s endorsement of Pritzker sets up the 2018 Illinois election to be a showdown between two major party candidates who are not merely representatives of the financial aristocracy, but are themselves members of the highest layer of that elite. Pritzker’s speedy endorsement by the AFL-CIO, 10 months before the 2018 primaries, is only the latest example of the bankruptcy of the unions and their prostration before the financial elite.
The AFL-CIO’s endorsement of a billionaire venture capitalist to govern a state strained by the bipartisan budget impasse is a clear expression of its own pro-capitalist and anti-working class orientation. It supports reactionary measures to bolster the profits of the corporations at the expense of the working class. The claim that making corporate America richer will improve the lot of workers is the basis for the worthless promises made by Trump, whose entire cabinet is positioned to further enrich the capitalist class by destroying whatever remains of the gains workers made in the course of a century of bitter struggles.
That Illinois Democrats are choosing to run Pritzker following the defeat of former Democratic Governor Pat Quinn in the 2014 election, not to mention the presidential campaign debacle of Hillary Clinton, says a great deal about their disconnect from the needs and concerns of the state’s working class. The endorsement of a billionaire like Pritzker is largely based on the calculation that Rauner’s intransigence in maintaining the budget impasse is harming a wide swathe of business interests that rely on various forms of state spending.
According to a report published on CapitolFax.com, the executive board barely passed the resolution to endorse Pritzker. The proposal passed with 19 votes, the required minimum, with seven no votes, two abstentions and three unmarked ballots.
The Chicago Tribune reported that several unions, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the Illinois Federation of Teachers and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), were apparently concerned about the early endorsement, very likely worried that the selection of a billionaire like Pritzker undermines their ability to get workers to turn out for the Democratic Party.
AFSCME Council 31 said it would reserve the right to withhold its own endorsement of Pritzker in the primary election. Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis, speaking at a May 23 City Club of Chicago luncheon, sought to signal skepticism, asking, “Can one oligarch replace another oligarch?... What’s going to be different?”
Illinois AFL-CIO President Michael T. Carrigan defended the federation’s early endorsement of Pritzker, saying in his statement, “The board followed a process that included meeting with the candidates and evaluating issue questionnaires. An early endorsement is necessary in order to achieve our top priority in 2018--defeating Governor Bruce Rauner, whose anti-worker proposals and refusal to compromise on a budget are destroying Illinois.”
The reality is that the Democrats were destroying Illinois and attacking workers long before Rauner came on the scene. Under former Democratic Governor Pat Quinn, and with solid super-majorities in both houses of the Illinois General Assembly, spending on higher education and social services was slashed. A report from the Center for Tax and Budget Accountability shows that since the 2000, adjusted for inflation and population, spending on higher education has fallen 41 percent, spending on human services by 34 percent, and spending on health care by 22 percent.
Quinn narrowly lost the 2014 election to Rauner as a result of mass abstention by workers in response to Quinn’s role in attacking pensions. Quinn claimed to have been “put on earth” to cut pensions, and his administration introduced a widely mocked cartoon character called “Squeezy the Pension Python” to show how pensions were supposedly squeezing the state budget of funds needed for education and social services.

Luis Gutierrez Whines: 

Breitbart News Coverage of Illegal Immigrants, Muslim Refugees Too Harsh



8

Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) whined about Breitbart News’ coverage of illegal immigrants and Muslim refugees during his recent commencement address at Cambridge College.
“Breitbart and Fox News didn’t invent their opinions on Mexicans and Central Americans or Muslims,” he claimed the day after the London Bridge terror attacks. “They’re just recycling them.”
He told Cambridge College’s graduates, “I say lift the Muslim ban and tell the Supreme Court to say it’s unconstitutional and un-American.”
Gutierrez called President Donald Trump an “unqualified game show host” and said he saw “in our country great hope and great enthusiasm for resistance against Trump’s America and what it stands for.”
After the London Bridge attacks, Trump called for the “Travel Ban” as an “extra level of safety” and added that “we must stop being politically correct” or “it will only get worse.”
“We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!” Trump tweeted. “We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don’t get smart it will only get worse.”

We need to be smart, vigilant and tough. We need the courts to give us back our rights. We need the Travel Ban as an extra level of safety!


We must stop being politically correct and get down to the business of security for our people. If we don't get smart it will only get worse

Gutierrez said when it comes to immigrants, religious and ethnic groups, “whatever group is coming right now,” there is “always a chorus” of people saying “they are the wrong kind of people, they are criminal, they are disloyal, and they will ruin everything for the rest of us in America.”
He said they were “wrong about the Irish Catholics that fled Ireland” and they are “wrong about the Syrian refugee Muslims that come to America seeking a place of refuge.”
He told graduates that when he was growing up, the New York Times said Puerto Ricans like his parents “were bringing tropical diseases” to New York and would be on welfare and “lead a life of crime.” He also said there was “no one to stand up for my parents,” or the “Chinese when they were excluded,” or the Irish, or the “Japanese when they were put in internment camps, or the Jews when they were turned back to certain death, or the Italians everyone made fun of.”
He blasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions, claiming Sessions wants to “roll back voting rights and basic civil rights” and to “reignite the war on drugs.”
“I ask you to never forget as they try to roll back voting rights and civil rights that people were murdered, churches were bombed, people were lynched, they were beaten and brutalized so we can have these voting rights and civil rights,” he said.
Gutierrez also claimed Sessions wants to deport as many people as possible and “use the law to paint all immigrants as criminals.” He called on Trump’s administration to leave illegal immigrant laborers, parents, and those working in the fields alone and “go after the criminals that are in our neighborhoods, not after the decent people trying to make a better future in America.”
He told the audience that he became active in politics after realizing that his fellow establishment Democrats were “bigoted.” Gutierrez told the graduates that in the 1980s, Democrats in Chicago asked him to vote for a Republican candidate for mayor because the Democrat, Harold Washington, was black.
After Washington won the Democratic primary, “the Democratic Party of Chicago didn’t like it one bit because he was black,” Gutierrez said, adding that some Chicago Democrats wanted him to “vote against Harold Washington because a black person might move on your block, or went to school with your kids, or maybe married your daughter or your son.”
He said he was not “very political” at the time and just thought Washington, who would later endorse Gutierrez’s candidacy for Congress, was the best person for the job. Gutierrez said “these guys from the Democratic Party” were proving that “racism ran deep” and “something awoke in me.” He said he told his neighbors “what racist bigots they were” and urged them to not let “fear and bigotry” determine their votes.
Gutierrez told the graduates that they will have to play a role in “repairing the country from the damage that is being done today” and urged them to stand up “against the people who are surrounding the president and drawn from the most discredited corners of white nationalism, corporate greed anti-civil rights, anti-voting rights, anti-women, anti-environment, anti-gay rights, and extremists who are anti almost everything that should be top tier in America.”
He implied that Trump, Sessions, and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon would be uncomfortable with the “different ethnicities” and “different languages” in the crowd of “different colors.”
“You are the flavor of America,” he said. “You are building a stronger America.”
Gutierrez is well-known for his over-the-top rhetoric, histrionics, and outlandish predictions.
When House Republicans passed the American Health Care Act last month, Gutierrez compared the passage of “Trumpcare” to Pearl Harbor, Fort Sumter, and the invasion of Iraq.
“Attacking Pearl Harbor, firing on Fort Sumter and invading Iraq looked like good ideas to the perpetrators at the time,” Gutierrez said. “But in the end, they were huge blunders that harmed America and came back to haunt those who to took those actions. That is how I see this health care vote for Republicans.”
Gutierrez also predicted on the House floor in 2014 that George W. Bush would be the last Republican president if Republicans did not work with his fellow Democrats to pass a massive comprehensive amnesty bill. Two years after the bipartisan effort to ram through amnesty failed—largely because of Breitbart News’ relentless reporting on the matter—Trump was elected president.

IL comptroller warns of 'massive fiscal crisis' by end of the month



On May 31, the Illinois legislature adjourned for their summer break without passing a state budget. There is nothing unusual about this. The state House and Senate are solidly in Democratic control while the Republicans control the state house with Governor, Bruce Rauner and for three long years, the politicians in Springfieild have been unable to agree on a budget. This has led to a fiscal mess that the state comptroller, Susana Mendoza is now referring to as a "massive crisis." 
Comptroller Susana Mendoza must prioritize what gets paid as Illinois nears its third year without a state budget.
A mix of state law, court orders and pressure from credit rating agencies requires some items be paid first. Those include debt and pension payments, state worker paychecks and some school funding.
Mendoza says a recent court order regarding money owed for Medicaid bills means mandated payments will eat up 100 percent of Illinois' monthly revenue.
There would be no money left for so-called "discretionary" spending - a category that in Illinois includes school buses, domestic violence shelters and some ambulance services.
Illinois is in a fiscal death spiral. Their bond rating is one step above junk status. And the list of consequences for the state's failure to pass a budget is a tale of woe that no state or territory - not even Puerto Rico's current bankruptcy - can match.


















  • If there is no state budget by June 30, 2017, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced that they would be forced to halt all state projects that could cost 30,000 jobs.
  • The Illinois Lottery faces threats of removal from the Powerball and Mega Millions if there is no budget by June 30, 2017.
  • Illinois owes school districts more than $1.1 billion in categorical payments for special education, transportation, bilingual and early childhood services.
  • Illinois’ backlog of unpaid bills stood at record $14.5 billion as of May 31, according to Comptroller Susana Mendoza.
  • The state’s Medicaid managed care organizations are owed $2 billion.
  • Centerstone, a non-profit behavioral health organization that helps 16,000 clients in southern Illinois and the metro-east region, has shuttered offices and cut services amid the budget impasse, affecting 700 clients and 39 staff members throughout the state.
  • The Wells Center, a drug treatment facility in downstate Jacksonville that has been operating for 50 years, was forced to shut down operations because of the budget impasse.
  • Illinois’ unpaid bill backlog could hit $25 billion by FY 2019 if the state continues without a budget.
  • Students and parents are looking to out-of-state colleges due to the unstable climate within Illinois’ higher education system.
  • More than 1,500 employees have been laid off at public universities and community colleges throughout the state.
There is much, much more. Editor Lifson wrote today of two scandals at Illinois schools that reveal a culture of mismanagement. You pile the huge shortfall in funds that Illinois colleges are facing after June 30 if no budget is passed and you have the possibility that some schools will have to furlough students and lay off faculty. 
How much longer can this intolerable situation continue? The two sides are blaming each other for the budget impasse but it's hard to see how both Democrats and Republicans aren't both to blame. Rauner's austerity budget - which includes property tax relief - is a political toxic waste dump that even many Republicans can't stomach. Meanwhile, the Democrats have proposed a fantasy budget. The numbers being used by Dems are divorced from reality and would result in an even more destructive fiscal situation.
I think both sides are secretly hoping Washington will be forced to intervene and bail them out, although Dems and Republicans claim they desire no such thing. But if the fiscal crisis tips to catastrophe and the poor, the elderly, and other marginal residents begin to suffer the consequences of gridlock, the calls for help from Washington may be hard to ignore.
