NANCY CONROY THE GRINGO GAZETTE AND "GUERILLA ATTACKS AT PEMEX PLANTS"




If you have read the latest edition of The Gringo Gazette, you will see the headlines, "Guerrilla Attacks At PEMEX Plants." At first reading, I thought wow, the natives are restless, finally !!

But, upon further investigation, my reaction was shortlived. According to John Ross and La Jornada, the explosions could be a "hoax".

So, here are both of the articles, side by side, and I was going to submit a letter to Nancy, but I figured she wouldn't publish it.

WOOHOO, that's okay Nancy, just keep scaring the bejeezus out of everyone which means less touristas and more waves for moi. heehee. BTW Nancy, I'm really not completely down on you, but for cryin out loud, Wildcoast never did do a study on the sun and saltwater effects on nitrates, and although yes there is complete - absurd - out of control - development down here and I'm talking about the Trump Towers - with no infrastructure to support it, it would be nice to have a professional study done on the water pollution conditions at Campo Torres. And, keep up the good fight on exposing irregularities in the Baja pre-election campaigns and our friends, Hugo Torres and Hand Rohn. Seriously !

See you guys later.

YAH, we're having a little swell, outasight.

Do you think the reason he doesn't care is that he and Carl Rove have a pre-planned fake Al Queda attack on the American people ready to go? Or is it because he is just an asshole? Well, he's an asshole in either case. And have you asked yourself, what's Carl Rove up to these days?

NO END IN SIGHT





Apologies for not being around and covering or at least mentioning more loss of our civil liberites in the United States, and the unfortunate recovery of George Bush from his surgery where we were all hoping he would just die on the operating table, Cheney would have a massive heart attack, and that would be the end of that. Did someone say they found polyps on his brain?

Here's a media watcher for you lucky ones living in the cities where this film will be realeased on Friday, July 27th:

SURGE IMAGES





I don't know if you guys had a chance to catch this yesterday from ABC News. The following scenes are graphic, and we can thank the Republicans in the Senate for not allowing an up or down vote by using the filibuster, which remember, they tried to get rid of last year, to exit Iraq. And we can thank Nancy Pelosi for killing any efforts to Impeach Bush & Cheney. And we can thank Bush the maniac of all maniacs, who has now sent Laura out to smile and wink at the cameras and blame this whole mess on the press.

My question is this folks, when do you think Bush will pull the plug on further coverage that exposes the realities and the absolute quaqmire and the atrocities and the suffering, carnage and death he has created ? And, what are you going to do about it when he does?

OAXACA ERUPTS IN VIOLENCE



This just never ceases to amaze me, no coverage of what is going on in Oaxaca from the US mainstream media, although BBC has been covering it. From the Narco News, firsthand reporting of the Oaxaca violence:

DIANE FEINSTEIN IS A TRAITOR FIRE HER ASS REPLACE WITH BOB FILNER





Oh my, Diane Feinstein has asked the GAO to reevaluate the Bajagua Project. If that isn't freekin hypocrisy, calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. Diane, you've made millions off the illegal Iraq War, plus you are a lacky for AIPAC; for you to call on the GAO to investigate anything - if you had any morality and ethics at all - you would call on them to investigate YOU.

TEXT


Thanks Bob, for fighting the good fight plus voting against continued funding to the SOA.


For those of you who may have forgotten:

Christ on a crutch, what is it going to take to get rid of these crooked and corrupt politicians, and shame on the Democratic Party for not censuring Diane Feinstein.

I guess when you have millions of dollars, you can get away with anything, right Diane?

ECHEVERRIA OFF THE HOOK








From this mornings headlines, Echeverria walks:

TEXT


Well, if you believe this, that Echeverria was not at least complicite in the Tlalelolco massacre,not to mention using Napalm against the "subversives" in los montanas, then I guess you also believe that there were weapons of mass destruction.

Did you guys know that Echeverria also worked as a CIA operative under the code name Litempo-8?


TEXT


See you guys later, and just want to mention the waits at the Border are outrageous, from 2 to 4 hours. Even our Vet, who lives in Jamul and maintains an office down here, has commented that he never recalls such long wait times. "Why?", he asked. The first thought which came to my mind was because the the USA is gearing up for another fake Al Queda attack on the American people sometime soon to prolong their stay in Iraq, and as an excuse to attack Iran or Pakistan. They are bombarding us from all directions, including CNN releasing an "old" Al Queda tape to drive us to fear again, they are desperate, like wounded animals. Bastards.

Take care everyone.

DRUG GANG THREATENS JOURNALISTS

I originally picked this story up from the Wayne Madson Report, and searching for two days now, could find no other dailies in the USA publishing this Reuters story; nor could I find the two Texas newspapers which pulled their reporters out of Nuevo Laredo for security reasons. In addition, the San Diego Union has not run this story. Seems like the only folks who felt comfortable in running this are from New Zealand:


TEXT


Everyone can understand why the San Diego Union would not run this, their reporters are based in downtown Tijuana behind locked gates, but once again, it is the public who will suffer from lack of information, and it is the Cartels who will have their way of not being exposed out of fear of reprisal, keeping the status quo, keeping the tourists dollars coming in and living in a state of denial along our Border.

Afterall, Donald Trump is just hot to sell his Trump Towers, and the greedy Gringo real estate snakesalesmen are just rubbing their hands together waiting for new victims to buy into condos and houses which have raped the environment with no infrasturcture to support them surrounded by a sea of violent crime. I can't prove it, but rumor is that the Cartels operate much of the construction business here, and I imagine they are feeling the pinch since slowly, Americans are waking up and not falling for the sales pitch. Seems the Baby Boomers are alot smarter than these guys anticipated.

So, keep up the good work people, avoid pulling out your checkbooks and keep putting pressure on the yahoos to at least deliver sewage treatment so you can swim in the ocean, even with the bullets whizzing by. And, if your absolutely must smoke marijuana, grow your own or buy it from the USA farmers who grow it, boycott the assholes from Mexico.

Meanwhile, many thanks to the Wayne Madson Report, and our friends in New Zealand, plus the original Reuters report for having the guts to report what's really happening here.


TEXT


Stay safe everyone, and stay cool, it's hot out there.



UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

An obscure link I found has stated that one of the newspapers that pulled its reporters out was the San Antonio Express News, however, going over to the San Antonio Express News, there is no mention of this story:


TEXT


Also noted was that the New Republic has picked up on this story, and typically dumb republicans, the great true believers of George Bush,are discussing it in reference to building the great wall, instead of addressing the core of the problem (heh what's new?). DUH. God, true believers are such a pain in the ass.

Solution: Legalize it, create treatment centers instead of Black Ops and private run prison centers and put the Cartel Bastards OUT OF BUSINESS once and for all. running here...catch you guys later.

LEWIS LIBBY & HANK ROHN



While the July 4th holiday winds down, and we are licking our wounds over the outrageous pardon of Lewis Libby, another incident of making up the rules as you go along has happened in Mexico.

Everyone was waiting on the edge of their seats to hear what the decision of the highest court would be regarding Hank Rohn's "delayed" bid for the governorship of Baja California.

Now, Mexican Law clearly states that if an official is holding office, which Rohn was as the Mayor of Tijuana, that official can not run for another office. And Mexican Law also states that if the highest court is hearing a case regarding an official, that official cannot campaign for office. That didn't stop Rohn. He plastered Northern Baja with campaign posters and made several campaign appearances during the court hearings.

Just as we should not be surprised over the pardon of Libby, we should also not be surprised that the highest court in Mexico, the same court which handed the presidency to Calderon on a silver platter, has today, given Hank Rohn the green light, despite the law, to run for governor of Baja.

Pay attention, America, because this guy's next bid will be for the presidency of Mexico. It's frightening enough him being the Mayor Of Tijuana, scary to think he very well may be the next governor of Baja (by hook or crook), and a real nightmare if he goes all the way to the top, which sure looks like his game plan to me.

Aw, shucks, he comes from such a nice family.


Goodnight, from Baja California... donde estan los zapatistas? y donde esta La Constitucion de Los Estados Unidos ?

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST-ROSARITO POLICE CHIEF KILLED




I just happened to be in town when this HUGE funeral for the Chief of Police was taking place. Asking around, no one seemed to know anything. Nothing was reported by the San Diego Union. Mum was the word. Why not? It isn't difficult to figure out why Nancy Conroy's papers go missing around these parts, by golly, she was the only person who reported this. I'll give you the link, but I'll retype the story, because her site is a bit difficult to read.

ROSARITO POLICE CHIEF KILLED - page 11

Insecurity Threatens Tourism

"On Saturday night, June 16, Israel Karo Vazquez, Chief of Rosarito's commercial police was shot and killed while driving his truck through La Gloria, a community just north of Rosarito. This incident occurred just three days before the be-heading of three Rosarito police officers, in June of 2006. City officials have down-played the incident, basically refusing to discuss it, and most tourists are totally unaware of the event.

Vasquez had only been in office for one month. The incident occurred at approximately 10:30 pm. Vasquez was off duty and reportedly was on his way home to take a shower.

State police investigating the crime reported that Vazquez had been shot from a 38 Special handgun. Major Tijuana newspapers stated that Rosarito city officials were not talking, and the only comments to come from the Mayor's office were, "we regret the loss of our friend".

Some information began to circulate that perhaps Vazquez was shot by a passenger in a truck. Most of La Gloria is a busy congested area, and it is likely that there were witnesses, but none have stepped forward to make a statement.

Alfredo Perez Hernandez, Rosarito's Chief of Public Security, said that Federal Police were investigating the crime. Perez also pointed out that the officer was not wearing his uniform and that the incident occurred outside of Rosarito's city limits, implying that perhaps the shooting was not connected to police work and could have been a personal matter.

The shooting has brought security issues to the forefront of the current election, and all the major political parties are claiming that security is their number one priority.

Funeral services for Vazquez were held on Monday, June 18, at the Nuestra Senora de Fatima Catholic Church in downtown Rosarito. Father Landa presided over the services, and a nun blessed the coffin at the end of the ceremony.

Rosarito's Mayor Anonio Macias did not attend the funeral services, but he was present at the burial.

Former municipal policeman Eduardo Arreola Rodriquez has now been appointed to the position as Rosarito's new Chief of Commercial Police."

Thank you for that, Nancy. What she didn't mention is that this is the second Chief of Police of Rosarito murdered within the last two years:

TEXT

The frontpage questions why surfers have not been coming down here. Knowing surfers, it is doubtful that this is due to confusion over passports requirements. The word is out; it is just too unsafe, period. The violent assault on tourists over the last two years has been widely publicized - and quite frankly, Baja , the Baja we used to know and love for wide open spaces and starry nights is a thing of the past. The constant police shake downs, the kidnappings, the armed robberies, the carjackings, the murders, the overcrowding, the outrageous development, the pollution and the hustle of the touristas just make most surfers shake their heads and say, "later, it ain't worth it."

See you guys later.

Goodnight, from Baja California.
