The other Mexico story



Over the years, I've met and followed the work of Mexican journalists covering the cartels.  They are often people who started their own magazines or blogs.  They are brave and will write a lot that the cartels do not want the world to hear about.
Yesterday, we learned of another casualty in Mexico:  
A veteran journalist who had chronicled the bloody conflicts among rival drug cartels in his home state, Sinaloa, and the culture of violence they inflicted on the broader society, was killed by gunmen on Monday near the newspaper that he had co-founded, the authorities said.
The journalist, Javier Valdez Cárdenas, 50, was in his car when he was intercepted by the killers, according to Ríodoce, a weekly he founded with Ismael Bojórquez in the city of Culiacán in 2003.
At least 104 journalists have been murdered in Mexico since 2000, while 25 others have disappeared, according to the press freedom organization Article 19.
The death of Mr. Valdez, who had shared prizes from Columbia University and the Committee to Protect Journalists, raises pressure on the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto to address the killings more forcefully.
Yes, it would be nice if the Peña-Nieto administration would address the killings, but what can he really do?
Journalists like Valdez Cárdenas are out in the battle zone daily.  They are the ones who dig up the stories about killings, corruption, and everything else that makes up this bloody story south of the border.  They usually do their work without bodyguards or expose their families to torture and late-night threatening phone calls.
So the killing goes on south of the border.
The L.A. Times ran a story two months ago about the massacre south of the border:
Last year, there were 20,792 homicides in Mexico – a 22% increase over 2015, and a 35% jump over 2014.
The Mexican government always reminds us that the violence is not always cartel-related, but experts say that half of it probably is.  They also always say that tourist sectors are generally free of violence, and that's true of the Caribbean resorts.
Nevertheless, Mexico is not the country I recall living in some years ago.
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk), (YouTube) and follow me on Twitter.


IMMANENT COLLAPSE THE  PENA-NIETO REGIME AND FALL TO THE LA RAZA DRUG CARTELS ON AMERICAN OPEN AND UNDEFENDED  BORDERS.

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.  




“Mexico in a country whose four wealthiest billionaires control as much wealth as the bottom half of the population—the 65 million that live in poverty (which includes 13 million living in extreme poverty)—and where the top 10 percent as a whole accounts for 67 percent of Mexico’s national wealth.”


 THE TRUMP WALL LIE! WAS IT THE FIRST BROKEN PROMISE?



"If true, it shows Trump being the ultimate cynic and not having the courage to state his true beliefs to the American public who elected him.  That's always been my biggest problem with Trump: his lack of integrity and consistent belief system." ----- ED STRAKER

TRUMP FOLDS TO LA RAZA MEX FASCIST MOVEMENT
Says the “WALL” will now be only “NO TRESSPASSING” signs posted every hundred miles!
“He's showing more empathy for illegal aliens than he is for American citizens.  Shouldn't it be the concerns of Americans he should be considering first, before the feelings of illegals?  These people are taking taxpayer money and American jobs, some committing crimes, and many are not assimilating and speaking English, and Trump wants them to stay?
