As the possible collapse of our Southern neighbor becomes a
possibility, I wanted to have a page that relates to Narco-Terrorism
as it seems to be the core of their problem. I also
want to thank Marvin (KA5HMI) for contributing to this page by sending
links that relate to this topic.

02-12-2009: Narco-Terrorism is a threat to Texas. It is
what is happening down in Mexico and along the border. With nearly
355 people reported kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona in 2008 alone, it is
definitely intruding into our Country. Nuevo Laredo has not had a
Police chief since 2006 because the Drug Cartels are pretty much running
major parts of Mexico.
We saw "Drug Wars: Silver or Lead"
tonight. Rusty Fleming who is the producer of this documentary about
the drug wars on the border. He is from Waxahachie and is well known to
many in the state for his work on the drug issue. It is worth seeing.

Well, more later, I have to go to Home Depot and be back before
my wife gets home with the groceries from
Sam's Club. Later...
