Rosarito strong-arm robberies
Last Saturday night, Five men carrying military automatic weapons,masked and dressed in AFI style uniforms robbed Ricky's bar located just south of
Calafia. On Tuesday evening the process was repeated at Bahia Cantiles located north of Puerto Nuevo.
The robberies were well coordinated and carried out with military precision. Patrons were not excluded.
I would advise caution when visiting any bar/restaurant in the area, especially after dark. Carry minimal amounts of cash and leave valuables locked
in your vehicle.

Like taking candy from babies. These guys are heavily armed. There ain't one Rosarito cop who would risk it.

Can La Familia PLEASE take over Rosarito Beach to protect us?! We have no protection with the police in hiding. At least they protect the people.
So this is what I have been reduced to... hoping a better group of narcos would run our area... geeesh.

All this crime is being seriously under reported in the US newspapers, much to Hugo Torres' delight, I suppose. In the past
week three restaurants have been robbed commando style in Rosarito: Bahía Cantilles, Ricky's Place and La Estancia. Also, last Tuesday when that
Rosarito cop was shot at the AM/PM in Poplota, they did not report that the same guys who shot him then drove by the main police precinct station in
Rosarito and shot it up.

Exactly, makes no sense whatsoever. The projected image is of AFI uniformed officers making a public scene for no benefit other than to make a scene.
You see in the news recently a huge increase in news of cartel influence-hundreds if not thousands of reports, many cartel 'interviews', it seems
exaggerated, orchestrated and theatrical. The cartel's influence hasn't changed, while the reporting has along with very public incidents.
It would appear on the surface that at the moment there is an attempt to conflate evidence that a huge threat exists from the Mexican cartels
influence, while we know that there is huge influence from 400 billion in US funding, hundreds of millions of funding for news stories, massive
sensationalizing over non-existent "flu" threat etc... and there are huge drug profits.
So it would appear that Mexico is under a heavily funded assault to hurt the regular people economically and to make it a scape goat worldwide
suggesting (falsely) the need for greater military funding and to use these issues as a distraction from issues which should be addressed such as
improvements in education, infrastructure, and health.
New boss same as the old boss.
While I would not deny the validity of some reports-such as the Ricky's incident, in general, it appears to be highly funded and massively
orchestrated attempt by the US to create the image that Mexico is the source of problems that must be addressed by US military while in fact these
issues are largely orchestrated by US military operations.
In particular, the huge and sudden increase in media hyperbole is evidence.
The solution is forget about looking to politicians or military for help-they are of no help, take it upon yourselves to organize locally and manage
your cities locally and stop funding the military and restrict their presence, military belongs on bases and on the borders not in cities.

Keep in mind as well there are many posters here on BN who are clearly not Nomads per se, they are highly invested in disruptive behaviour, and media
spin.
If you want to see how the media spin is being cast you can view news across many sources with news feed gathering tools or sites like

Woooosh,
Where does La Familia operate, Baja or Michoacan? I saw a reference on another string saying they don't allow sales of Meth in Michoacan.

Here's some cartel stuff. Interestingly, the table of contents makes no mention of Arellano Felix.

Local communities are severely underfunded in the best of times. Now, with tourist revenue dwindling most are dead broke. The local police force can't
afford protective equipment, vehicles or matching weaponry besides being corrupt to the core. The local citizenry is intimidated and protection
strong-armed by the cartels and police.
The only agency who can battle the cartels and protect Mexico's citizens is its military.

Ricky, who initially thought it a joke, was rifle-butted to the floor. The patrons were forced to empty their pockets, remove jewelry and lie on the
floor. The place was full. private party for 50 plus the regular bar customers. They were in and out in minutes.
No one was shot but as anyone who's been through this can testify, everyone was psychologically raped.

Not even if Mexico begged. We'd sooner close the borders, build an Israeli style wall and just turn our backs. The Congress hasn't the stomach or
Obama the cojones.
