Dear Editor:

Keeping America Safe: The View from the FBI

Re “Focus on Immigration Crimes Is Said to Shortchange Other Cases” (front page, Jan. 12): The FBI remains highly committed to the investigation of public corruption and organized crime.

First, uncovering and investigating public corruption by public officials at all levels remains the top criminal priority for the FBI. Today, more FBI agents are assigned to public corruption than ever before, an increase of 38 percent since 2003. Over the past three years, the FBI helped prosecute nearly 2,500 corrupt local, state, and federal officials—a substantial increase over the previous three years and the highest number of prosecutions for such a period ever.

Second, after 9/11, with the FBI’s shift of some resources to fight terrorism, the larger white-collar crime program was restructured. Fewer cases were opened involving “low-hanging fruit” investigations and comparatively small amounts of money. State and local authorities have the jurisdiction to investigate these crimes. FBI resources have targeted corporate and securities fraud, which poses the greatest threat to the nation’s economic security.

Finally, today there are three times as many organized-crime task forces across the country and around the world than at the time of 9/11. Given the counterterrorism and counterintelligence demands, there are fewer FBI agents dedicated to organized crime. But the impact has not diminished: More arrests were made last year than in any year since 2001.

Necessarily, following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the FBI shifted resources to strengthen national security. But there has been no reduction in its commitment to keep America safe—whether from traditional crimes, terrorism, or foreign intelligence collection.

    Hey, SHANE, who gives a shit about some movie you saw and wheather you liked it or not. This article is about a country that out corrupt government wants us all to embrace in their idea of a North American Union. We don’t need this shit. We have enough of our own problems.

    test

  9. Amarillo Says:

    Considering that the writer doesn’t live in Mexico, this report is not so bad. But let me set a few things straight.

    The ruling party in Mexico (PAN) isn’t bought by the narcos, PAN created them. The PAN is quite officially allied with the Republican Party (just ask John Mc Cain; he is the coordinator of the international branches), and it was none less than Daddty Bush who organized the drug dealing business for his party to have some undeclared money “for special purposes”. This system was also installed in all the countries where they have branches, and that’s why we have this problem in Mexico now.

    Though this crime wave brought an additional (and perhaps unexpected) benefit for the PAN. Now people will claim for more “government protection” and they will get that. Well, they’ll get the version the Repubs and PAN prefer: submission or slavery, as you want to call it. They have always wanted to enslave the “stupid” humans, and they are going for it - big time!

    Regarding the Juarez Citizen’s Command, I’m not totally convinced yet that they are genuine. Could be, but could also be another dirty trick of our PAN/Repub government to further their agenda. But we should know pretty soon. In any case, when Mexicans finally decide that enough is enough, they definitley know how to cast off a yoke. Not even the cruelest and trickiest government can prevent that. Google for “Cuchillo Parado” (standing knife). That will tell you a lot.

    What’s going on in Mexico is part of a plan to enslave the whole world, but Mexico might just be the variable they miscalculated.

  10. Trannysaurous Rex Says:

    1 — taking the o riley route: shut up,
    2 — the movie was pretty decent when compared to what has come out this year.
    3 — troll
    4 — trolled me worse than the actual troll
    7 — Agreed.

  11. Blunt Force Trauma Says:

    This is due to the fact that the citizens of Mexico are tired of both the corruption of government, at all levels, and of the drug cartels that have the politicians and police in their back pockets. This could turn out badly for these groups if both the cartels and the corrupted officials are seeing their profits being hampered by these groups’ actions.

  12. electrictim510 Says:

    I think this is also partially incited by the world leaders to make Mexico look “out of control”, so that the NOW looks like a good idea.

  13. electrictim510 Says:

    Oops. NWO I mean

  14. Porfirio Diaz Says:

    Last i checked, #9, the ruling party is PRI not PAN…Good point though
    PRI took over where i left off. Same thing, just the face changes every 6 years.
    1910 was a war for the banks to totally control natural resources, under the guise of nationalism. It worked.
    Mexico is always the variable miscalculated. The banks tried for a communist takeover after 1920 but the people would not drop the Catholic crutch. Pike new this would be the result.
    But that wont stop them, 1810, 1910, 2010. All over central Mexico the highway sign with the #s 2010 mark the path that Father Hildalgo took for the independence of 1810, before we chopped off his head and hung it in a bird cage at Alondigas. The masonic symbol of unity (the double 0) takes the place of the 0s in the sign. It is the same symbol you find in your Salem cigaretts, Dr. Peper cans, Master Card, DG, and Chanel products. A hypnotizing device you can spot every day.
    This is the third revolution my good buddy Albert Pike wrote about to take over the Americas.

  15. I hate my Federal Government Says:

    good work USA, looks like our awesome drug prohibiton laws has not olny ruined millions of lives but now a country has completly fallen apart. SWEET!! PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!!!!!

  16. coyote Says:

    There government could fix the drug problem if they wanted to. But like the US government it’s more profitable to have the drug problem then not.
    One more reason that politicians should only make enough money to get by on. Take the personal money out of the politics ( Campaign donations, outrages pay, etc. ) and then they start to focus on the real problems.
    I could end this in a week if I was president in Mexico. I would give them that war they want. The people in these towns know who the drug cartels are. Swarm down on these cartels and blow them off the face of the earth and leave there stinking corps where they lie for the next person to see when they think about joining one of these cartels. And should you be taken alive and found guilty of aiding and abetting these tyrants then you just earned yourself a very long retreat at one of Mexico’s fine jails that we all hear about.
    I’m with the citizens of Mexico. Enough is enough. The only thing that I would do different is besides killing one a day in addition to that for every citizen that’s killed or hurt 10 of there cartel members die. Plus I would kick the CIA, FBI,and DEA out of the country.

  17. A Patriot Says:

    You mean the drug cartels that are funded by the US CIA.

  18. 2bwise Says:

    I wonder if this takes away from the nwo “effort” to invade Iran in that U.S. troops will have to re-deploy to Mexico?

  19. illakilla Says:

    ummmm first off you spelled “peace” with “piece”….i think that would be the first step in producing some peace lol second, this shows how blind the world is. There are tons of murders and blood being split over the border but the media barely covers the amount of violence and how its spreading, only when it gets extremely bad they will blame it on mexico

  20. SQ Says:

    wow, the NAU speculation is really unfolding right in front of our eyes. It’s like things are begining to fall in place.

  22. THE TRUTH WARRIOR Says:

    Maybe now the average Mexican citizen can dump the horribly-corrupt, slavemasters that have been ruling that country for 500 years! Public hanging anyone?

  23. Stuart Jones Says:

    LOPEZ OBRADOR SHOULD RUN AGAIN!!! THEY SHOULD HAVE REVOLUTION & OVERTHROW THOSE RICH BASTARDS & WHORES FRENCH REVOLUTION STYLE!!! THEN “ALMO” CAN BE THEIR NEXT PRESIDENT!!!

  24. DrSlump Says:

    ITS STARTING!
    Pawns are reaching their effective potential, soon the second raw - real fugures, string pullers - will come to play. When this happens, there will be no turning back. NWO plans will be exposed and very fragile. That will be our chance, unfortunately - only chance.

    Anti-NWO movement has achieved greate victory by exposing NWO plans and thru this - delaying and making them to, in hurry and without all the time they had till now, change their evil plot. They are getting angry and bold in their actions (latest youtube censorship). This is good - will further expose their agenda, but this coin has also a bad side - will probably speed up some of the actions so dont be surprised if one day we will no more hear AJ on the radio and this site, well to put it in simple words - error 404. All this maybe even in those 90 days we are supposed to have.
    Why I think The Final Push is getting awfully close? Well, if they will wait too long - world will start to stabilize and recover - they will loose, for a loooong time, chance to make any move at all. They will have to, for at least next 2 generations, go underground and start everything from scratch.
    So prepare for the worst. IMHO next three months will be crucial.

  25. notax Says:

    good.. please start with government officials which are the ones that promote corruption. then go down the line with the police, which they are also in the narco-game. I am sure that after getting rid of these two tiers of trash, things should be much better.

  26. 911truth1 Says:

    why would mexico stop the gangs and drug lords if they are like the american government criminals the are the biggest two drug runners in the world mexico and america there criminal government is just as criminal as ours

    ALL YOU FEDS OUT THERE CAN KISS MY ASS!!!!! WE KNOW THAT YOUR WATCHING THIS SITE AND OTHERS.

  28. JewAgainstZionism Says:

    The easiest solution is to legalize drugs…that would instantly take away the drug cartel income.

    Badabing Badaboom

  29. TONY Says:

    Another argument for legalization of drugs. If decriminalized there would be no cartels to deal with.

  30. public ed Says:

    Begin, Began, has begun…lol

  31. rebelgirlwithacause Says:

    #27 ROCKY….RIGHT ON!!!! You said it so eloquently!

  32. Amarillo Says:

    Number 14 is a little outdated. The PRI was the ruling party in Mexico. Starting with Vicente Fox, it is the PAN.

  33. ewkeane Says:

    the global elete waterloo? perhaps, but to be sure, just what is the true cause of mexican radical revolution? mexico is no stranger to civil war, and any calls by americans for military or economic intervention must be shouted down. its a bad deal to get cought up in a civil war, and double if you support the wrong side. could the mexican dope trade be funding the wrong side? i demand a boycott of mexican maryjane. buy american, stay out of war. we have enough problems, already (and an aristocrat system to disestablish, via legislation, courts and prisons). read “War Is A Racket” by General Smedley Butler, USMC, a most highly decorated marine officer. His views should be taught in high school.

  41. amble Says:

    I agree legalize all the shit.

  42. Wake Up! Says:

    Well the Mexican people had their guns taken and given to drug runners and dealers. Need to start filtering guns back into Mexico for the people to start taking their country back. Mexicans have allowed themselves to stay 3rd world for too long!

  43. sam u. l. Says:

    if you guys really wanted to improve this site, you would check your grammar and spelling more. i read articles on this site all the time that are are fill with elementary errors. not to harp on it too much, but it takes away from the credibility of the articles when you write “than” rather than “then,” or when you use a semi colon where a comma should be, use apostrophes where one isn’t needed, and have run on sentences or sentence fragments. you guys do a lot of good work, but a cursory examination of these homegrown articles for grammatical mistakes would make this site seem a million times more professional.

  44. sam u. l. Says:

    missing -ed on “filled” is duly noted :|

  45. John Galt Says:

    Decriminalize the big money drugs in America. Remove the incentive of profit from the cartel. Load the boarder with surveillance. Next they will be so much violence that they will want to flee. Who wouldn’t. Fill the FEMA camps with Mexican refugee’s.

  46. eris Says:

    I’m probably not the first one to mention this, but come on guys. It’s “Has Begun” not “Has Began”. If you want to publish a credible news site the editors need to exercise at least some grammatical control.

    I know that the forums are fairly direct examples of free speech, but you should also consider filtering some of the blatantly racist comments that pop up here. That’s not censorship. Anytime your forum republishes that crap it magnifies the effect. That kind of crap also allows your enemies to post blatantly racist and other degenerate comments that drive away readers and damage your reputation.

  47. shane Says:

    my quote “wow this is like in that batman movie with the whole “killing one person a day” In all fairness, i thought the movie wasn’t very good.”
    #4″Hey, SHANE, who gives a shit about some movie you saw and wheather you liked it or not. This article is about a country that out corrupt government wants us all to embrace in their idea of a North American Union. We don’t need this shit. We have enough of our own problem”

    To number four, “why so serious” haha

    Anyway I am fully aware of what this means, and I am sure anyone who actually posts does to. I just kinda find it useless to button mash the buttons until my fingers bleed as going on an angry rant is like yelling into a mirror. You preach to the choir, we are all aware, and any outsider will not consider these comments valid as there is to much random racist comments. Put get put off when they see people screaming “get the jews!” and whatever. Most of the people who post are so beyond reason. I will tell ya, all the jewish people you know will be like the masons you know. They could and probably do have evil leaders like we do, but the people on the bottom are just as screwed as we are.

    The Nwo is a wall, that will be dismantled brick by brick, and all this random hate just buys them time to rebuild and reinforce that wall.

    Oh and on a side note number 4, you obviously cared enough to respond, if one really doesn’t care they go do something more useful than go on a rant.

  48. Devils Advocate Says:

    I hope the Mexican people revolt. God bless them if they do. Those poor people are made of much tougher stuff than most of the pansy ass “men” in this country. We have become soft from years of easy living. They need to repatriate all the illegals in this country to help in their own revolution.

  49. rogdix Says:

    Just LOOK at the face of Michael Chertoff, Head of US Homeland Security!

    Is he an American or is he the perfection of a Jewish Zionist? Look at his face and his eyes.

    Amercans, welcome to Zionist control.

  50. wretched Says:

    39 million wow, i wonder how much of that the CIA takes for its cut

  51. rogdix Says:

    I agree. If you can’t write, - then don’t put us through it. Do us all a favour; don’t post. Life is hard enough without having to deal with trying to interpret illiterates.

  52. John Q. Public Says:

    The Revolution in Mexico has BEGAN ? Get an education and stop such sloppy “journalism”.

  53. razor Says:

    YOU PEOPLE ROCK…..THE WORLD IS WAKING UP AND IT’S A COMFORT TO KNOW LIKE MINDED PEOPLE, CAPABLE OF DISCERNING TRUTH AND REALIZING WHO THE REAL CULPRITS ARE. THE GOVERNMENT WILL COLLAPSE UNDER SHEAR STUPIDITY AND AMERICA WILL HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO ORGANIZING.

  54. Sam Says:

    I understand that this article does not contain the best grammar, however it is important to note infowars carries stories they don’t write them.

  55. ewkeane Says:

    the cia take their cut of cash, run it through a bank, and earns a few points a year on it. who says there is no black market? the black market happens in law offices with contracts that are enforced at govenment expense. everything is for sale in the jolly pirates shop, and he will accept blood soaked money in trade (for a small discount).

  56. Lightbulb Says:

    Easiest way to fix the problem…

    LEGALIZE IT!

    END THE WAR ON DRUGS!

  57. WeeBee Says:

    So, the peon in Mexico are threatening to start killing these drug-gang criminals until there is peace. Just wait, the Mexican cops & troops will crack down on the people’s movement against the drug cartels faster than flys swarm a pile of shit. The Mexican government can’t allow the largest piece of their income to evaporate.

    SCREW ALL OF THIS! Wall off the border. Seal the crossings. Airlift arms & ammo to the Mexican people. Let them settle their own scores. Look the survivors over real close before making any further decisions.

  58. Terry Lee Says:

    That not a revolution… that is a total meltdown in the making.

  59. roaddog Says:

    I agree with some here, it’s just a step toward the nau. Rile the herd up to accept the plan with little or no resistance.

  60. Pandoras out... Says:

    WeeBee….walls also keep you in…

  61. Amarillo Says:

    One more thing: the highest drug enforcement authority of the US (El Paso Intelligence Center - EPIC) is located in El Paso, TX, just across the border from Juarez. Coincidence? These things don’t happen by coincidence. The reason they are there is two-fold: there are in Texas, home of the founder of the Republicans’ drug dealing business (Daddy Bush), and they make it easier for the Mexican drug dealers to “show their appreciation” in exchange for being declared an “informant” who can’t even be touched by the DEA. It’s “business as usual”.

  62. steve Says:

    the batman movie was great ya dick hole.

  64. BADHOG Says:

    Replace ” Drug Cartels ” with ” Corporate America ” and “Corrupt Mexican Government ”
    with ” Corrurpt US Goverment (all of them) ” and it all sounds too familiar. It’s good to hear that the Mexican people are organizing to stand up against this shit, but, these groups will soon be labled ” terrorist organizations ” and will have the wrath of both the Drug Cartels and the Government brought down on them. Whats the trigger that will set our OUTRAGE! off?

    Things are going to move quick folks. If there ever was a time to get prepared and to let the world know about the New World Order, it’s right now. I know with 100% certainty that if we unite around the world against this crap, we will not be defeated. No time for gloom and doom.

    So many people so little time, but more people know about the New World Order than you may think.
    People are spreading the word. I send everyone I know to http://www.warnthepeople.org . After going there they get it and I didn’t even have to get into an argument:o). Anyway, everything I see and hear tells me that things are moving quickly and not in the right direction.

    I stopped living in fear a long time ago. I’m determined to make a difference and hope you’ll join me in spreading the word. Failure is not an option. My children deserve a future. We can defend our freedom but only if we UNITE!

    Ed Bradley

  72. IBDriving Says:

    One more thing every time you get disgusted or mad about our government, write your congressmen. Don’t be afraid they already know who you are. Here is what I last wrote yesterday:

    In my lifetime, I am 53, I have never seen such disregard for our constitution! In both the Clinton and Bush administrations many bills have been signed that reduce and even eliminate the inalienable rights our founding fathers recognized as rights belonging to individuals above the powers of government. I believe our congressmen would restore the faith of the public if they were to work toward reestablish the intent of the founding fathers.
    The patriot act establishes anyone who creates a disturbance on an air plane as a terrorist and now one thousand innocent citizens are incarcerated. For instance the woman who spanked her two children on a flight and now she is in jail under the patriot act law. This act has proven to be used against our general public who were not terrorist! The act establishes me as a terrorist for criticizing our government as I type this. As a matter of fact the definition of insurgent is on who chooses to disobey a law. Which most of those who hold a drivers license are guilty of. This does not make one a terrorist.
    I believe the TARP bill was an act of terror since it granted unconstitutional power to the Secretary of the Treasury and gave 700 billion dollars to the elite investors who control those financial institutions. When they were the ones who were suppose to control the policies that should have prevented the need for a mortgage bail out. Which the mortgages were not purchased as the T.A.R.P. name implied!!! It is an act of terror because it has put our children and their children in bondage with a huge debt so the elite rich European bankers fortunes were preserved or even increased!!!
    The federal reserve is a terrorist tool to destroy the U.S. economy! We borrow money from the same European families so they can print dollars out of thin air. Which again puts us under a huge national debt. (this is the real reason for the bailout- the derivatives had to be covered)
    This minting of money is unconstitutional Congress is suppose to make the money not a foreign corporation.
    The house has before it a bill that will give another cabinet member unchecked power to make at will any model gun he so chooses banned. Which most certainly infringes upon our rights.
    I also believe that presidential orders are unconstitutional power. They should be a stop-gap measure not a law making action unless passed by both houses of congress.
    It seems that we have selective enforcement of our laws and regulations. President Kennedy signed a presidential order that ended the federal reserve and yet it still operates. If congress does not move on a presidents recommendation he just makes a presidential order with no balance of power check!
    These concern really have created a distrust in the system, where before I held that the system was the answer.
    One last item I have heard that there is suppose to be a con - con, constitutional convention, in the makes. I certainly hope not since the convention powers could reshape our country’s existence. Which could be a real offense to the silent sleeping majority.
    I hope you can restore our constitution and the operation of our government to one that our founding fathers would be proud of!!!

    PS: If I evade 48,000 in taxes can I be a cabinet member?

Dear Editor:

Dear Mr. Webster,

             Upon review of numerous articles on the rising of kidnappings in Mexico, I find your articles and experience to be the most helpful while contemplating if we should travel and outsource much of our operations (telecommunications company) to Hermosillo, Sonora in Mexico.  To be more specific, the company we would be outsourcing to is Vangtel, the newest member to their parent company, The Offshore Group (www.vangtel.com). Although most of the abductions seem to happen around the borders, you specifically mention Hermosillo by stating 70+ drug trafficking related executions have occurred there between 1/07-7/07 (American Chronicle…article 59356).

 Again, with all of your experience as an investigative reporter and being a world renowned expert on globlal economics, illicit drugs, and terrorism, I would be honored with any of your opinions, suggestions, and or comments you may offer on this company and/or the risk/safety factor of doing business in Hermosillo.

 Sincerely, Rune Johnson Rjohnson@aninetworks.com

Dear Editor:

Thank you for the very interesting coverage of border security issues.  I am deployed with Operation Border Star working in a Joint Operations Intelligence Center and use your articles to aid me in my daily work.  Often, I have been able to get the "Big Picture" by comparing your news articles and other sources available to me.  Keep up the great work!

Dear Michael:

 

If Not But for... Rense.com.... I would not have been privileged to yet another of your magnificent reports -- Great Work!!  Where the hell is the MSM on this?  Or maybe I should say Lame Stream Media, as it is known?
 
Way up here in Montana, we too are experiencing some of the invasion, and all that goes with it. 
Yet, I must say -- for the most part, I really like the Latin People -- and wish, at times, I were in Margaritaville -- as we fondly refer to it from the infamous Jimmy Buffett song.  Yes, this pristine little island lies just off the coast of another of our soon-to-be enemies -- Venezuela. 
 
Damn --- what  friggin mess we have created for ourselves -- speaking as a former combat 'air-cavalry' scout helicopter pilot in VN (Custer's Alma Matta) and later -- attack helicopter test pilot -- tough decidedly "not" a military man -- as in " we're kicking ass" -- and "Bring em On" --  God, how stupid!
 
Oh well.... thanks for your continued efforts toward "awakening" the slumbering masses.
 
Take care,

Dear Editor:

Dear Mr. Webster,
 
You totally fail to answer the question of "why" Bush won't shut down our Southern Border and stop the 5,000 to 10,000 illegal aliens (not "immigrants", by the way) from breaking into the U.S. every day. The answer is as plain as the nose on your face:
 
Bush is a globalist sell-out traitor. As he demonstrated recently by trying to block the execution of an illegal alien Mexican murderer in Texas by siding with the Socialist One Worlder UN Court, he wants no part of nationalism or patriotism to tarnish his treasonous acts. The Border stays open because it's all part of his NAU plan to merge Mexico, the U.S. and Canada.
 
How you missed that, I have no idea.
 
Sincerely,
 
David Levin levin_david@msn.com

Dear Editor:

Hi Michael,

Thanks for that great article! Even as somebody who is living in Cd.
Juarez I learned some new details from it.

Though there is something that surprises me. You most likely know that
the EPIC (El Paso Intelligence Center), the office that coordinates
all US efforts against drug smuggling and dealing, is located just
about 3-4 miles from the border, on Biggs Airfield, Fort Bliss, El
Paso, TX.

There neighborhood should be a deterrent to drug dealers, shouldn't
it? Unless...

Hope to read something about it in your next article.

Dear Michael, 

I just read an article you wrote on Santiago Vasconcelos the head of the federal 
anti-organized crime unit known as SIEDO on February of 2008.  We just got 
called that my uncle Jesus Hernandez from Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico was kidnapped 
last night.  I don't know much about the capture but I do know that he owns a 
bar right by the border of El Paso. I visited with him two years ago and by what 
I witnessed he had a close connection with the police officers (at least some of 
them).  His wife, who he is currently seperated from him and lives in Seattle, 
Washington phoned my uncle to inform him about the news.  I have tried to get 
some sort of information or who I can contact in Juarez to see if my uncle has 
been detained by the police in Juarez.  We really need your help, anything you 
can do would be greatly appreciated.  I don't have that many resources but if 
you could point me in the right direction I could take it from there. 

PLEASE HELP US!!

Mr. Webster

Your article, “U.S. Military Being Sent to the Border with Mexico”, is inaccurate and contains erroneous data that was taken out of context from the information that was provided by Gen Renuart to El Paso Times Journalist, Chris Roberts, during the commander's recent visit to Joint Task Force North, based at Fort Bliss, Texas.

The article is erroneous when it states that a special U.S. Military Task Force has been created to protect our southern border with Mexico; no such special task force has been created.  In addition, the information pertaining to the F-22 Raptors and AWACs is also erroneous -- these aircraft are not conducting patrols over the southern border under the auspices of USNORTHCOM.

As an element of U.S. Northern Command, Joint Task Force North, established in 1989, continues to provide homeland security support to the federal law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility, to include both borders and within the Continental United States.  Mission focus, counter-drug and narco-terrorism support to the Primary Federal agency tasked with boarder security due to unique capabilities that exist within the U.S. Armed Forces.

In addition, the National Guard continues to provide support to the U.S. Border Patrol as part of Operation Jump Start, in Texas, California, Arizona and New Mexico. The National Guard is helping to secure the southern border by providing surveillance, construction, and logistics support to the U.S. Border Patrol.

Please contact me if you would like further clarification or visit www.northcom.mil for correct information on the command.  You have done your audience a disservice in disseminating erroneous information.

Mr. Kucharek: 

I don't normally feel the need to explain or give reasons for my articles and sources. As I've been an investigative reporter for over 35 years. Your e-mail got my attention due to the actuations it contains. So in the interest of my readers and more accuracy in journalism I respond in hopes that you and/or your dept can develop into a reliable source for me for many of the same matters we are addressing here and so I can be more accurate lets keep the channel of communications open. More often than not when I try to contact someone at the DOD they do not come to the phone and often don't return my calls. So hopefully we can develop a professional relationship in the interest of truth. I would hope that in the future the General and his staff would contact all the media in the area not just his favorite. After reading the article you refer to I contacted some of my sources at Ft. Bliss, FBI and DEA these contacts verified the general information in my story. We also have reports from citizens that claim they are seeing Rapters flying on or near the border with Mexico. I myself have seen Awax aircraft in and around the El Paso and other areas. I have also talked with troops who say they have been working near the border. Your taking issue with the headline of the story is interesting in as much as most folks in the media understand editors write most of them.

You say that the article is erroneous when it states that a special U.S. Military Task Force has been created to protect our southern border with Mexico; no such special task force has been created.  Yet in the very next paragraph you flatly state in your e-mail “As an element of U.S. Northern Command, Joint Task Force North, established in 1989, continues to provide homeland security support to the federal law enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility, to include both borders and within the Continental United States.  Mission focus, counter-drug and narco-terrorism support to the Primary Federal agency tasked with boarder security due to unique capabilities that exist within the U.S. Armed Forces”.

You go on to say “In addition, the information pertaining to the F-22 Raptors and AWACs is also erroneous -- these aircraft are not conducting patrols over the southern border under the auspices of USNORTHCOM”. You should know, so tell me if USNORTHCOM is not doing it than what air force division is? As I stated above many citizens are reporting seeing them. So if you truly feel there are erroneous statements in the article or any in the future you can help me avoid that by you and other U.S. Government departments by responding to my questions. Your charge of the article in question as being taken out of context, inaccurate and contains erroneous data is false. And I stand behind my article.

So lets take this opportunity to give the General a chance to accurately reply to his following statement and please tell us what he is referring to: Renuart, who visited Joint Task Force-North, which is under his command, declined to discuss any details of threats uncovered along the border with Mexico, but he said many agencies, including JTF-North, have made "it a very difficult border for someone to take advantage of." My questions are: 1. What threats uncovered along the border with Mexico he was referring to? And 2. What agencies including JTF-North, have made "it a very difficult border for someone to take advantage of?" And 3. In what way have they made it very difficult?

Please contact me should you have any further issues and please provide what you can that is true and timely information on what USNORTHCOM is actually doing or not doing.

Dear Editor:

F-22's are laden with very sophisticated sensors which broadcast to a Network Centric control point for sharing in real-time whatever is being observed. The F-22 pilot, free to just fly, doesn't have to work the sensors on his aircraft as they are communicating to and receiving updated information from the control center.

All the pilot has to do is fly a proficiency training mission over areas which intelligence and control center personnel deem worthy of observing.

Previous debates have featured such notable names as Liz Cheney, Natan Sharansky, Nadine Strossen, Daniel Ayalon, Michael Crichton and Christopher Hitchens, among many others. Motions debated have included "Global warming is not a crisis" and "Better more domestic surveillance than another 9/11," among others.

The debates are held at Asia Society and Museum,

725 Park Avenue

Dear Editor:

Renuart's quote "who visited Joint Task Force-North, which is under his command, declined to discuss any details of threats uncovered along the border with Mexico, but he said many agencies, including JTF-North, have made "it a very difficult border for someone to take advantage of." That would explain why there have been recent reports of U.S. military being seen on the border".

He is blowing sunshine up our posteriors!

The risk is not a military attack and it has not been ever since we sent General Blackjack Pershing after Poncho Villa almost 100 years ago.

The risk is infiltration by terrorists who will camouflage themselves among the thousands of illegal immigrants who our government allows to cross our borders anonymously every night. How is a squadron of F-22 Raptors going to have any impact on this risk? When these terrorists eventually attack, their deeds likely will not be anywhere close to the border.

These guys are going to sit on their base waiting for an attack that is never going to happen.

This is just another example of the government pretending like they are taking action when in fact they are doing everything possible to keep the border open and the cheap labor flowing.

If they really wanted to protect the border they would keep the National Guard deployed and they would actually give them a security mission rather than just giving them administrative duties. Instead, the Administration is withdrawing the few remaining National Guard in July.

Dear Editor:

Los Zeta is a dangerous group, more reasons to close our borders. Many of them are already here, causing problems to businesses.

I am afraid things may get worse before they get any better.

Los Zetas

Dear Editor:

The military training comes in handy with the arms the Zetas carry, including 9mm weapons and infrared technology - all parts of an armory equivalent to an American SWAT team. Drug money pays for it all.

The Zeta arsenal could make the group attractive to other groups, like al-Qaeda or the Mara Salvatruchas.

According to one of there own jailed members during an interview with law enforcement said, “there are some of the Maras and al-Qaeda inside the organization". The phenomenon of the Maras, is a violent Central American gang that originated in Los Angeles and has become a nightmare in the region. ...

Dear Editor:

The article seemed to be focusing on the military for use against terrorist/rogue nation assault (anti-ballisitic missiles; air-air and air-ground defense; Mexican military and criminal drug caretl incursions).

Perhaps I read it wrong but I did not get a sense that they had any intent to focus on or significantly participate in the mundane illegal alien operations of the Border Patrol.

Use of the military in 'local disasters' is a recent Administration fiat and violates the posse comitatus restriction of our Constitution.

Oooooooo wee, wait 'till La Raza hears about this! US military on the southern border. Long overdue. Warning to drug dealers and the Mexican Federales who back them: These folks don't shoot you in the butt with a popgun. Mess with them and it's the last thing you'll do.

Dear Editor:

Considering the number of OTM crossing the border - this is great.

Nothing like a few of America's finest to put the fear of God into anyone thinking about "breaking our laws".

Considering Mexico's reputation, wouldn't be surprised to hear about a few gun battles taking place. Our military has better aim than theirs.

Sock-it-to-them!

Answer to The Maryhunter...our government is not going to do anything about it under the current regime Bush and company! The governors in each state have a lot to do with helping to stop this genocide of our people. It is up to us to stop what is occurring to our nation.
 

First, we must vote intelligently for our next leader and not base our vote on religion, race, gender, or politics. The only one I have researched to help us, the citizens (patriots) in this devastation is Senator Barack Obama.

If he does not win the Presidential election we will have to fight this One World Order plan by ourselves...thus the forthcoming 21st Century Revolution to bring down our current government.

Dear Editor:

I guess now mainstream American will know that in addition to al-Qaeda terrorists crossing into Texas by the dozens, we now have commando-style heavily-armed foreign soldiers regularly violating our border and attacking our citizens. When will our government say enough is enough? How many American deaths will it take? Our sovereignty is violated on a regular basis. It is appalling and beyond negligent - I’d call it a severe dereliction of duty - for President Bush to ignore our border crisis.
