A vast army of heavily armed criminals has embedded itself in every major city in the United States. In fact, nearly every community in America is now affected by these thugs. Drugs, theft and brutal violence are all part of the every day lifestyle of the members of this army. They aggressively recruit our young people and floods of illegal immigrants are joining their ranks. Once civil unrest erupts in America, they will go on a crime spree that will be absolutely unprecedented and they will burn large areas of some U.S. cities to the ground. So who am I talking about? I am talking about the rapidly growing gangs that are terrorizing cities all over the nation. The FBI tells us that there are now 1.4 million gang members involved in the 33,000 different gangs that are active inside the United States. The number of gang members in the U.S. has increased by 40 percent since 2009. Just think about that. That is absolutely astounding. Just since 2009, the number of gang members has increased by 40 percent. The FBI says that 48 percent of all violent crime in this country can be directly traced to gangs and that this is a national crisis that is progressively getting worse. Unfortunately, the federal government refuses to secure our borders and is allowing new waves of illegal immigrants to enter the United States every single day. A substantial number of those illegal immigrants end up involved in these gangs. Yet the federal government just stands by and allows it to keep happening. One day, the foolishness of this policy will be evident to all.
In many areas of America today, families live behind windows that have bars on them and they won't ever go out at night because it is just too dangerous. There are some communities that have pretty much been entirely taken over by the gangs, but instead of addressing the problem the federal government continues to spend a massive amount of resources checking out what might be in our underwear at U.S. airports.
Meanwhile, criminal gangs are thriving. They are becoming incredibly powerful and increasingly sophisticated. The following is from an FBI press release....
Gangs are increasingly engaging in non-traditional gang-related crime such as alien smuggling, human trafficking, and prostitution. Gangs are also engaging in white-collar crime such as counterfeiting, identity theft, and mortgage fraud.
You can find much more background information about gang activity in the United States from the FBI right here.
You have probably heard of some of the largest of these gangs.
For example, the 18th Street Gang is the largest gang in the state of California. It is said that they have 15,000 members in California alone, and that on average they are responsible for at least one major crime in Los Angeles County every single day.
It has been reported that police in Los Angeles are extremely hesitant to ever venture into the areas most heavily controlled by the 18th Street gang. They are absolutely brutal and they do not back down to anyone. The following is what Wikipedia has to say about the 18th Street Gang....
A US Justice Department report from 2009 estimates that the 18th Street gang has a membership of some 30,000 to 50,000 with 80% of them being illegal aliens from Mexico and Central America and is active in 44 cities in 20 states. Its main source of income is street-level distribution of cocaine and marijuana and, to a lesser extent, heroin and methamphetamine. Gang members also commit assault, auto theft, carjacking, drive-by shootings, extortion, homicide, identification fraud, and robbery.
Another very prominent gang that you may have heard of is the Latin Kings. It is reported that they have 18,000 members in the city of Chicago alone. They are believed to be the largest Hispanic gang in the entire nation.
One of the gangs that has law enforcement authorities the most concerned is MS-13. There are chapters of MS-13 in 42 states now, and if you cross a member of MS-13 there is a good chance that you will lose a limb or be hacked to death with a machete.
This tough economic environment has made it even easier for these gangs to recruit new members. Today, there are way too many young people sitting around with nothing to do.
Back in the year 2000, more than 50 percent of all Americans teens had a job. This past summer, only 29.6% of all American teens had a job.
When you have lots of teens and young adults sitting around with nothing but time on their hands, bad things are prone to happen.
As the family unit continues to decline in America, young people are looking for a sense of belonging. For many youths, a gang becomes a new "family" for them.
But unfortunately, these new "families" do not exactly teach "family values". Instead, they teach our young people about how to be brutal and violent.
And we are seeing evidence of this out on the streets every single day. For example, a group of 6 young thugs recently attacked a 64-year-old Vietnam veteran in Philadelphia and beat him up so badly that he almost died....
Kate Schaefer, the victim’s wife, told Eyewitness News, 'They just smashed every bone in his face. I can’t tell you the words. I guess I was just happy that he was alive.'
During 2011, we saw a large increase in "group crime" behavior. Some of the incidents have been absolutely horrific. For example, the following is how one local ABC News affiliate described the "flash mob" attacks that took place at the Wisconsin state fair earlier this year....
Milwaukee police said that around 11:10 p.m., squads were sent to the area for reports of battery, fighting and property damage being caused by an unruly crowd of "hundreds" of people. One officer described it as a "mob beating."
Police said the group of young people attacked fair goers who were leaving the fair grounds. Police said that some victims were attacked while walking. They said others were pulled out of cars and off of motorcycles before being beaten.
Can you imagine taking your kids to the state fair and having them witness that?
But this is just the beginning.
These gangs are becoming very organized and they are becoming very heavily armed.
The FBI says that rifles, machine guns, grenades and even artillery rounds are being found in the possession of gangs more frequently than ever.
Some examples of this were recently posted on military.com. These gangs seem to have a particular affection for AK-47s....
In late July, 27 AK-47s were stolen from a Fort Irwin warehouse, officials said. Those close to the case, who would speak only under the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the subject, said investigators believe gang members were involved in the theft.
Sadly, that same article noted that members of the U.S. military have even been arrested for trying to sell weapons to these gangs....
In November 2010, three former Marines were arrested in Los Angeles for selling assault weapons to members of the violent street gang, Florencia 13, according to the NGIC report. That same month, a Navy Seal from San Diego and two others were arrested in Colorado for smuggling about 18 military-issued machine guns from Iraq and Afghanistan to be sold and shipped to buyers in Mexico.
Those that want to steal guns are becoming increasingly bold. For example, 21 machine guns were stolen a while back right out of an LAPD training facility.
Down in Miami, thieves have become so bold that they have actually been breaking into parked police cruisers and stealing guns and ammo out of them.
When people are stealing guns directly from the police, that is a sign that it is very late in the game.
Our politicians spend so much time talking about the violence in Afghanistan and Iraq, but the truth is that the area right along the U.S./Mexico border is far more dangerous.
Just check out the following information from CNSNews.com....
According to the Mexican government, from January through September 2011 2,276 deaths were recorded in the Mexican state of Chihuahua, which borders Texas and New Mexico.
A Nov. 2011 Congressional Research Service (CRS) report states that over nearly the same period – January through October 2011 – 2,177 civilians were killed in Afghanistan, where a U.S.-led war against the Taliban is underway. It did not provide a breakdown of responsibility for that period, but said that in 2010, 75 percent of civilian deaths were attributed to the Taliban and other “anti-government elements.”
Per capita, a person was at least nine times more likely to be murdered in Chihuahua last year than in Afghanistan.
Many of the areas along our border with Mexico are open war zones.
But do we hear about this much in the mainstream media?
Of course not.
Just across the U.S. border lies the city of Juarez, Mexico. Juarez is considered to be one of the most dangerous cities on the entire planet because of the brutal drug war being waged there. In fact, Juarez is the murder capital of the western hemisphere.
But most Americans have never even heard of Juarez.
Complete and total chaos reigns in vast areas of northern Mexico, and yet most Americans don't even realize that there is a problem.
Overall, more than 35,000 people have been killed since the Mexican government declared war on the drug cartels back in 2006.
You would think that would warrant some significant news coverage.
But no, the mainstream media can't talk much about that because then the people might actually start demanding that we secure our borders.
Amazingly, instead of securing our borders the Obama administration has been busy sending guns down to the drug cartels in Mexico.
That is what this whole "Fast and Furious" scandal is all about. As I have written about previously, ATF agents purposely allowed thousands of guns to be sold to individuals that they believed would get them into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
But so far, nobody in the Obama administration has been held accountable for this.
During 2009 and 2010, 70 percent of the 30,000 guns that were recovered by authorities in Mexico were determined to have come from inside the United States.
That is a major problem.
These Mexican drug cartels and the gangs that work with them have become very heavily armed and they have become very bold.
It has been reported that Mexican drug cartels are now openly conducting military operations inside the United States. Scouts for the cartels maintain strategic lookout bases in the hills of southern Arizona, and the federal government has even put up signs that warn tourists to say out of certain areas. The cartels very much try to avoid any confrontations with our border patrol or with our local police, but once they are approached they are not afraid to open fire.
One very frustrated border patrol agent told Fox News the following about what is going on in his area....
"To say that this area is out of control is an understatement."
So how in the world can the federal government allow this to go on?
Well, a big part of it is that Barack Obama does not want to do anything that could scare away his Hispanic voters.
In fact, he is doing just about everything that he can to portray himself as "Hispanic-friendly".
A few months ago, I wrote about how the Obama administration has announced that there will now be a case-by-case review of all deportation cases involving illegal immigrants. Those involving "criminals" will be prioritized and almost all the rest will be thrown out.
Yes, you read that correctly.
If you are an illegal immigrant and you have not been convicted of a crime that means that you almost certainly get to stay in this country.
So that is basically a big green light for even larger waves of illegal immigrants to enter this country.
That means that the ranks of the gangs will swell even more.
The chaotic drug war that is going on in northern Mexico has spread into many areas of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. With each passing day, the gangs that are embedded in all of our major cities are getting stronger. They are a ticking time bomb that eventually will go off.
One day, when mass civil unrest erupts in the United States, the gangs will have a field day. Given the opportunity, most gangs will gleefully indulge in brutal violence, looting, arson, rape and mindless property destruction.
Sadly, this all could have been avoided.
Instead of strip-searching old women at airports, this is what we should have been dedicating our law enforcement resources to.
Instead of spending billions of dollars spying on the American people, the federal government should have spent billions of dollars on securing our borders.
Unfortunately, we made the wrong choices as a nation and so now we are going to pay the price.
I went ot the link that you included, and it is pretty sad what is going on. What I thought interesting is in one clip it shows Juarex, Mexico as being probably the deadliest place to be, and then right over the border, they mentioned El Paso, TX as being one of the safest cities in the USA. I am willing to bet it is the fact that Texans practice their 2nd Ammendment rights and also that Texas has a “Castle Law” regarding the lawful right to defend your property (castle) with deadly force if need be.
I know the drug cartel are strong and have lots of arms, but if they know that citizens will shoot back, they will stay away, guaranteed. They are cowards and terrorize people that they think they can and be successful. I will bet you everything I have, if more and more Americans start killing drug cartels as they enter their areas, there may be a war, yes, but there is no way they are going to beat millions of law abiding gun owners who are fed up with what is going on. Many people in the southwestern states have large amounts of heavy fire power avaialable to them.
Every state in America should have a Castle doctrine for people to be able to lawfully defend themselves against firearm toting criminals and to make it loud and clear to criminals and drug cartel….you come in my neighborhood …you may die.
I will conclude with something that many will not want to hear, but as far as supply and demand goes, from what I have gathered, most of the drugs that these Mexican & Columbian cartel are selling, are to people living in the good old USA! So, part of the problem is Americas lust for drugs is causing these cartel to stay in business. Consider if there was no demand for meth, crack, heroin, etc. The drug cartel would move on…..
We can be sad to see a image of a body in the street due to a drug deal gone bad. I am sad to see that, however, a man reaps what he sows and if you are going to play that game, you had better accept all the dangers associated with it. The real tragedy for me is when, these coward drug cartel who have no regard for the law, society, human life or God, just selfishly decide that they will start shooting anyome in sight and often a bystander gets hurt/killed.
Nice juxtaposition, if it’s true.
Ciudad Juarez – one of the most violent cities on earth. More violent than Afghanistan. More violent than northern Nigeria.
El Paso – one of the safest cities in the U.S. And it’s just a few breast strokes across the Rio Grande from Juarez. Piece of cake for any Olympic swimmer in training.
“All in all, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.” — W.C. Fields
I wouldn’t be caught dead in Juarez. (Yes, I would be, most likely.) And just if you’re wondering… if a Mexican swimmer wins a gold medal in this summer’s Olympics… I told you first. Hee!
Your’e like the guy that blames the victim. Drug dealers don’t make money on “new” clients, but on those they have hooked. They’re selling to people that cannot help themselves, so why blame Americans?
Why doesn’t law enforcement just admit they don’t want to deal with then just hire the Hells Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos, Pagans, Mongols and other large 1% biker clubs to enforce a dead or alive bounty on these illegal alien mudbutt punk street gangs … I guarantee the problem will be over with in a month!
There you go.
I was stationed in El Paso, TX, which is right across the border from Juárez. Our leaders always talked about how safe EP was, but we were forbidden to go to Mexico. Not that it’s a bad thing, considering all the crap going on down there. The first apartment my wife and I lived in was quite literally just down the street from an international bridge. We went down there and drove the border highway and looked in sheer shock how bad Juárez looks, and we didn’t even see any violence. It breaks my heart to think of how vibrant the city was before the drug war.
I fear that the violence will spill over into the Sun City, regarded as the safest city over half a million in population. Once that happens, it’s going to get 10x worse here in the US. Eventually it’ll spread to my hometown in Indiana, and it’ll get so bad that if you don’t have an MP5 or an AR15 (or three) you won’t have the firepower to fight these cartels off.
Our “leaders”, lie everytime they open their pie holes.
NAFTA not only put a lot of Americans out of work—it also caused countless farmers in Mexico (especially Southern Mexico) to lose their livelihoods. And many of those campesinos mexicanos turned to drug smuggling. The War on Drugs, a nightmare promoted by neocon RepubliKKKans and the spineless Democraps who cave into them, has been profitable for the prison/industrial complex in The Banana Republic of America—and it has also been profitable for the drug trade because prohibition increases the value of drugs. Why do you think a Mexican journalist received a bunch of death threats when he advocated the legalization of drugs in Mexico? Los narcotraficantes realized that legalization would cut into their profits. Ron Paul is absolutely right: the War on Drugs and the BRA’s failed drug policy have been major factors in the narcoviolencia that has been plaguing Mexico.
Between NAFTA and the War on Drugs, many BRA politicians (both RepubliKKKans and Democraps) have been major contributors to the narcoviolencia in Mexico and have helped to create a vicious, multi-headed beast in our back yard—a beast whose tentacles reach north of the border into the BRA as well as into Central American countries such as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. And when los carteles de narcotraficantes mexicanos work with Mexican, Salvadoran, Honduran and Guatemalan gangbangers, you truly have a match made in hell.
Que dios nos ayude.
So, what’s the answer?
Set up a 21st century Berlin Wall? (Let’s call it the “Tucson Wall”)
Legalize marijuana? Cocaine? That’s how the drug gangs are getting their profits, right? Make these substances legal, thereby shutting off the profits of the Zetas and other Mexican drug gangs?
I don’t know. And that’s why I’m not running for President.
I suppose we can all get into it with paranoia about the government, butt that only makes an ass out of most who try.
I suggest we just go along with the plan, and see whats up?
We have done this to ourselves.
When we declared independence as a nation, we did so did so aided by God.(read the documents, He is clearly referenced)
Now we have declared our independence from God and rather than find the meaning of life through its Author, we search for meaning through everything else.
Our children have been taught that they are just a bunch of random DNA strands forged by evolutionary chance. Rampant sexual activity, alcohol and drug abuse are the natural results of this education, along with the rise of occultic practices (check out all the gang tattoos that contain pagan symbols/devils/death).
If we continue to reject God as a nation, we can beef up our borders all we want,it won’t make any difference, the true corruption lies within ourselves.
…, Unless the LORD watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain. Psalm 127:1
Well said, I enjoy reading your posts.
This is liberal Hell. For years the useless cry baby liberal said you can’t touch the illegals cause your a racist. The same useless liberals that want to disarm you. What did the useless repulibcans do to close the border NOTHING. We have a Government bought and paid for they are nothing but greedy self center useless thieves. They are3 just doing what their puppet master tell them to do. I blame the American people for not finding their backbone and standing up and saying ok you useless liberals you want the illegals you pay for them. That’s right you liberals have to pay 50% of you income in taxes to give the illegals their free ride. You know free housing free medical free food stamps. That is the only way a liberal can understand reality.
there are a lot of progressives who hate ileagal immigration and would deport ALL illeagles tomorrow and turn the borger with Mexico into a North/South Korea type border.
Illeagles are not wanted and not needed. Stay in your own country and fix it.
That may be Gary, but personally, I have never met one of those progressives.
You just met me!
quite being puzzies – you call them “floods of illegal immigrants ”
They are not “immigrants” – they are aliens.
An “immigrant” has an intent to acquire legal citizenship- these criminals have NO desire for such- they are here to TAKE< steal, rob, murder, whatever they want ……..stop being coopted by political correctness
Michael, I noticed that you advertised the book ” The Harbinger “. Have you read it, and if so is it worth getting?
I have seen a video presentation about the book, but I have not actually sat down and read it yet.
The material that I have seen is quite compelling. If you have not heard it yet I would check it out. It is stuff that you have not heard anywhere else.
And Jonathan Cahn is excellent. I would recommend his stuff anytime.
Michael
The article says there has been a 40 percent increase in illegal alien gangs since 2009 and goes on to call it “ASTOUNDING”. Yeah, but what’s more astounding is a government that is so utterly corrupt as to allow this,that’s right they ALLOWED IT,to happen.
“Yeah, but what’s more astounding is a government that is so utterly corrupt as to allow this,that’s right they ALLOWED IT,to happen.”
Which makes the citizens/electorate even more stupid, allowing the government to do that. Yet more astounding!
A wall on our border would not be the same as the Berlin wall, and I’m tired of people saying it. The Berlin wall kept people in, not out. A border wall would be more akin to the Great Wall of China, or Hadrians wall in England. A protective barrier against invaders. I live in a small town in Iowa. Before the Mexicans arrived, we would have to go all the way to Des Moines to find someone selling heroin. Now I can find it being sold a block away.
” I live in a small town in Iowa. Before the Mexicans arrived, we would have to go all the way to Des Moines to find someone selling heroin. Now I can find it being sold a block away.”
There you see – immigration makes our lives easier! The “liberals” were right all along!
yest, many still believe in open borders for all……and then accuse you of racism if you have a issue with that and ask you if you support deporting black, white and Hispanic citizens…..
I would like to tell you about a war story here, it was taken in 05 after Katrina hit New Orleans, right from the army’s mouth, folks better wise-up about living in the city or near one, but this truly happened in New Orleans, after so many weeks of New Orleans being shut off to the world, bodies where everywhere of rape and murder victims, gangs would cut the heads of of the people that where in the floating caskets because you know that area was so below sea level that caskets where floating in the streets, they propped these headless bodies on top of the hoods of their cars as ornaments, a lot happened there that has never been told to the public.
One day, all those prison tatts will look like targets.
Surprised there was no specific mention of the rising gang activity within the military. Gang members enter the military, become expertly trained in heavily artillery, and then use those military tactics to overwhelm our police forces. This is an old video (posted 2008) and it has even older footage in it (2005), but I don’t doubt that this is still happening. http://youtu.be/AVLWhfMkExk
“A substantial number of those illegal immigrants end up involved in these gangs.”
What’s this substantial number? Where are the facts?
Also, did you know that the MS 13 Gang that you are portraying in the main photo is a gang that was started in the United States and spread to Latin America? I just thought I would throw this interesting fact out there. The MS 13 gang is one of the largest and most dangerous gangs in the world and it is a fact that it was started in The United States of America not in a foreign country.
[...] had pounded randomly on this door in hopes of getting help. In some major U.S. cities, the gangs have virtually taken over. In an article entitled "City of Ruins", Chris Hedges described what life is like today [...]
my nephew lives in elpaso tx, it is a very dangerous town to live in. the stories he relates to the rest of the family is horrible.
its not getting any better.
protect yourselves. be safe.
Thanks for the enlightening read Michael. There are many globalists in the United States who want to see it fail and come under the hands of an elite ruling class that hopes to rule the entire world. The US is the last remaining obstacle and all their insidious efforts are paying off. We have been dumbed down, pacified, gutless and drugged up. Jefferson said our greatest duty as a citizen to be informed. The social engineers have longed steered us down a different path, the bread and circus path, and we are no longer informed and fight wars for the MIC corporations and foreign nations rather than for the right reasons. All this because “the ends justify the means” for the global elite. What a mess…
Anyone caught here illeagaly needs to be shipped out. Anyone with a gang tat; shot on sight.
It doesn’t matter which joke you elect in to office, they will continue to do nothing about this problem while encouraging illegal immigration more and more. This is not by accident. They are doing this on purpose. Obungle is the most blatant about it. The devil bush signed an agreement to make canada, mexisludge, and north america one country. Why do you think they allow the evil mexicans to overrun your town more every day? They don’t care about you. They don’t care about your daughter being raped and murdered by cockroaches. I don’t see what they gain by destroying this country but they’re doing it rapidly. It’s time to take back control from the evil parasites before it’s too late.
they are outnumbered but way too dumb and ignorant to think armed citizens would blow them away, they believe they are untouchable and their younger dumbed down brothers and sisters are ready to replace them when they meet the bullet head on! a vicious cycle that we must kill, literally or send them out to the pacific north west to die or back to their own countries to fend for themselves and be killed off by rivals!
Bring our boys,from all over the globe home, to rid our country of these organized thugs before they get rid of us.
