Mexican drug cartels’ PR war
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2011/12/201112209947441679.html
From guns to the media, Mexican drug cartels have turned to new and unusual tactics to intimidate their rivals.
Videos of drug-related massacres have been sent to news networks and posted online.
The gangs have also tried to win support through public displays of strength.
But as Al Jazeera’s Rachel Levin reports, people in the southern city of Cuernavaca are not impressed by the cartels’ campaigns.

one question..its a simple one..who gave/sold them the guns?

Well, I know the good old U.S.A. in their wisdom supplied the ammunitiions to the cartels, and I think that The Attorney General. Eric Holder had a hand in it. Naturally, this will be covered up and he won’t even recieve a hand slap let alone an investigation and punishement for his ridiculous deeds. After all,,,he is connected to the Justice Department.
It has a simple answer: we did of course.
The situation is far worse than we in the US (outside TX-AZ) usually ever hear, check out http://notirex.com/category/blogdelnarco/ (it is the blog mentioned in your video) if y’all don’t already read it.
The cartels have killed a number of bloggers who’ve covered their operations. http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2011/11/mexican-drug-cartel-killed-another-blogger/44785/, so it isn’t precisely accurate that the cartels want media coverage: they want coverage and then to kill those who cover it.
Also, the cartels and the cops and the military are all corrupt, and they are bankrolled not by just illegal mafia type organizations but by the richest men in Mexico: the problem goes way beyond the cartels.
