Truth About The Drug War In Mexico 2010

Juarez Mexico 2010 ~ Part 1 ~
Setting the military loose on the civilian population and turning Juarez into a police state is bad policy and ITS NOT WORKING. Reality is proving my point. Why is it that small minded people cannot see that decades of the same failed drug policy are not going to all of the sudden start working... sad.

UPDATE 12-11-10

"US has lost faith in Mexico's ability to win drugs war, WikiLeaks cables show" FROM THE ARTICLE: "the army was "incapable" of processing information and evidence for judicial cases. "It has taken a serious beating on human rights issues from international and domestic human rights organizations, who argue with considerable basis, in fact that the military is ill-equipped for a domestic policing role." " http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/dec/02/us-mexico-drugs-war-wikileaks

ANOTHER ARTICLE STATED: "An Oct. 5 cable describes a dinner that the Mexican Attorney General's Office hosted for a delegation from the U.S. Department of Justice, quoting Gutierrez as saying the Merida Initiative was too hastily crafted to be effective." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20101202/lt-wikileaks-mexico/

The above articles about the wikileaks in reference to the failed drug war help to prove my point .

@GoodArithmetic

Very well done and thought provoking.

Anyone who makes films that question wrongheaded policies will get hate comments from a legion of militant right wingers who are sometimes paid by think tanks ever since " John McCain's YouTube problem "

They should listen to author Charles Bowden on Juarez ( Democracy Now clips posted on YT)

This is one of the best videos I've watched in a long time. I consider myself well-informed, but did not know the reason behind the drug war. Thanks for setting me straight! Like I always say, the US uses the world for its toilet, and this is a fine example of that.

People in America always talk about the drugs coming from Mexico and how bad they are. But they hardly ever mention all the American weaponry going south and the damage it does. Which is worse?

goodarithmetic@ Thank you Sir for your brave and well made post. I am tired of fighting among Mexicans and Americans who lack the truth and reality of this situation. You are 100% correct in asserting that it is a war on people...poor people. Whenever I even mention that this "war on drugs" is a business I get labeled a traitor, anti-american, leftist. I will show this video to as many people possible to see if they can..not open their yes...but at least aknowledge they HAVE eyes. Thank You

Truth is hard. Hard to believe. Hard to understand. But the words in this video are as accurate as any I've heard relative to the mind-boggling violence, suffering, apathy,  pure and simple: evil. It belies any faith in our governments and proves the never-ending MO of the military/industrial complex. The questions asked in the video do have answers but they won't be easy or quick. In the meantime how many innocent lives have been shattered by fools and cowards with guns? God help us from evil.

Excellent video quality and comments. I wish you could help us here in Mexico, we need a good push from brave and well informed people like you.

But.....sadly enough, the US will go thru great turmoil in the coming years, we have it here now but the time will come when the ignorance and waste of time of many americans will make for the collapse of such a great nation....and the demise of many others due to its dependencies. May God bless you.
