Foreigners want to create paramilitary groups in Cabo
Carrie tried to suggest on the Gringo Gazette a few weeks ago a way to put a control on the level of police bribes and corruption. This is the local
newspaper (on the government payroll) answer!!!
Extranjeros pretenden crear grupos paramilitares propios
El Sudcaliforniano
21 de mayo de 2010
Aracely Hernández F.
La Paz, Baja California Sur.- Ante la inseguridad que se vive en Los Cabos, la estadounidense Carrie Duncan, convoca a sus paisanos radicados en ese
polo turístico internacional a conformar un cuerpo militar para ejercer los propios extranjeros su ley y convertirse en los "vigilantes" de las
acciones del gobierno federal, estatal y municipal, así como tener bajo lupa al sector público y al privado, según lo manifiesta.
Pese a que Carrie Duncan ya había sido deportada, la extranjera, como no se siente "segura" en Los Cabos, en lugar de retornar a su país, opta por
buscar hacer su propio gobierno mediante un cuerpo paramilitar de los que abundan en su nación ya que según ella, los policías y mesero roban y
extorsionan al turismo.
La editora del tabloide "Gringo Gazette" ha venido convocando a reuniones, como fue en el pasado 21 de abril en el restaurante Amarone, donde Duncan
propuso abiertamente la creación de una milicia.
Asimismo, la extranjera convocó a otra reunión el pasado 6 de mayo en las oficinas de la propia editora, en su pretensión de continuar con su proyecto
de fortalecer la milicia que ya ha iniciado tipo "ku-kux-klan" seguramente, porque de acuerdo su columna publicada en Gringo Gazette, el pasado marzo
29 de 2010, narra cómo el turismo es robado y extorsionado por la policía y meseros de bares y restaurantes en Los Cabos.
Afirma la extranjera que en Baja California Sur "La Ley es el problema" junto con las instituciones en sus tres niveles de gobierno. Además, asegura
también en su columna, con caracteres enfatizados que "El gobierno es el problema".
Durante su reuniones se refiere al gobierno estatal y local como "un grupo de pin... pende... rateros, con los que se pretende acabar".
Carrie Duncan, un personaje ampliamente conocido en la comunidad de Los Cabos por su abierto racismo contra los mexicanos, así como su hostil actitud
para con las instituciones nacionales y gobiernos locales, tal y como lo ha venido señalando en su publicación editada en inglés y que se distribuye
entre la sociedad extranjera radicada en el sur de la entidad, resalta su actitud discriminatoria, racista y su rechazo hacia la cultura local.
Cabe mencionar que todo indica que esta persona fue deportada de México por insultar a las autoridades del Instituto Nacional de Migración.

Bad idea!
These crazies are also running around in the Northern California mountains, where I live. They are extreme right wing survivalists, many of them white
supremists. They fire semi-automatic rifles day and night in the canyon just below my house. They are preparing for a racial revolutionary war. I know
who they are for a fact!

Doesn't the article state that she has been deported? My Spanish is not what I'd like it to be. And I do know that she had been deported a few years
back for getting too political in her editorials, but was able to legally gain re-entry.

I don't mind her political criticism (legally shes is not supposed to do that if she's not a citizen), but sometimes i do find her "editorials" not
very Mexican friendly (she lives here, go figure).
Now, if someone would translate many of her editorials to spanish, and reprint them in a Mexican newspaper, then all hell would break lose.

Jesse- I don't know if you've ever met her. She is a very interesting and complex person. I give her props for having been able to grow her tourist
advertising rag into what it has become (revenue-wise). And in reality, that's really only what it supposed to be. Never supposed to be a crusading
journal. Of course, it did not happen in a vacuum, inasmuch as David Flores, a Mexican citizen, has done much of the leg work for her. But, once
again, I have to ask, whether she has been deported for the second time.

Google translation
La Paz, Baja California Sur .- Given the uncertainty that exists in Los Cabos, American Carrie Duncan, invites his countrymen living in the
international tourist center to form a military force to pursue its own foreign law and become " vigilantes "of the actions of federal, state and
municipal as well as having under the microscope to the public and private sector, as manifested.
Although Carrie Duncan had already been deported, the foreigner, and does not feel "safe" in Los Cabos, instead of returning to his country, chooses
to look to their own government through a paramilitary body which abound in their nation since according to her, the police and rob and extort waiter
tourism.
The editor of the tabloid "Gringo Gazette" has been convening meetings, as was the April 21 in the Amarone restaurant where Duncan openly proposed the
creation of a militia.
Also, the foreign convened another meeting on 6 May in the offices of the publisher itself, in its attempt to continue its project to strengthen the
military has already begun such as "Ku-Klux-Klan" Certainly, because according his column published in Gringo Gazette, last March 29, 2010, tells of
how tourism is stolen and extorted by the police and waiters in bars and restaurants in Los Cabos.
The foreign claims in Baja California Sur "The law is the problem" with the institutions at all three levels of government. Moreover, in his column
also ensures, with characters emphasized that "The government is the problem."
During his meetings referred to state and local government as "a group of pin ... hangs ... thieves, which aim to stop."
Carrie Duncan, a character well known in the community of Los Cabos for his open racism against Mexicans and their hostile attitude toward
national institutions and local governments, as has been pointing out in his book has been published in English and is distributed among the foreign
company based in the south of the state, highlighting their attitudes, discrimination, racism and rejection of local culture.
It is noteworthy that all indications are that this person was deported from Mexico for insulting the authorities of the National Migration Institute.

Two possibilities
She's actually promoting vigilantism, OR being set up.
Either way...she's gone.

The problem for Mexico is Duncan exposes the bribery and extortion that goes on daily involving American Tourists. She has done this with first person
letters written by those so harmed. Its possible some of the letters exaggerate what actually happened, however, the victims at least are heard, err
one side at least. I think they want her gone to stop the spread of information, gosh, who would ever think that a Country that benefits so much from
the tourist dollar would clean up the system, or just plug the leak of news as that is much easier. How many people have driven through Constitution
lately and been pulled over for DWG? Last time they tossed her out of Mexico, she continued to run the Gringo Gazette from California. I hope she
lands softly....

What a contrast between countries. You can get deported for voicing your political opinion in Mexico is you are not a citizen but if you are illegal
in the US not only can you have mass demonstrations but can get tons of $$ for "entitlements"!
If we legal Mexican residents were treated half as good as the illegals in the US with translators, free health care, etc, there might be a rush
across the border south. Wonder how the Mexican government would like that???

No, what you mean is if the Mexicans IN CONTROL OF GOVT AND THE POLICE could read her stuff, she wouldnt be here.
The average Mexican, who is more subjected to the corruption of the govt and police force in Cabo, would probably agree with much that she writes
about.

As seen on The Baja Western Onion today:
Ripped Off By Police? - The Gringo Gazette is in the process of collecting factual stories from people who were extorted by the federal police on the
road to the airport. If you have had this problem, please write to us, giving as much detail as possible, including time of day, date, name of officer
and license of the police car. We will be presenting these letters to Comandante Roberto Chalico, the head of the federal police in Los Cabos. We keep
being told that they can do nothing about it without proof, so let's give it to them. Thank you for your help, Carrie Duncan, Publisher Gringo Gazette
carrie@gringogazette.com, none, 14 30865
Huge $400 Fine (by) Cabo Cops (Courtesy, La Paz Gringos) - Be careful around the Cabo airport with the Hwy Patrol. I dropped someone off on the way to
store my car nearby. Got pulled over for expired registration (South Dakota). Told me they would impound my car if I didn't pay $400 US on the spot.
Took me to the airport ATM that dispenses $$$US and I paid Officer Garcia of the Federal Polizia the $400. He told me his name was Hernandez, but
Garcia was on his badge. At least I made my flight. - Deborah, groups.yahoo.com/group/lapazgringos/
Maybe something good will come out of this. Just like in La Paz INM...if someone had not started the process, then "El Jefe" would not have been
exposed.

I admire her temerity! However, I think she is putting herself in a vulnerable position or even danger. Of course, she is aware of her risks and
chooses to act. Very bold!
