What the TV Won’t Tell You: The Bloodshed in Mexico is the Direct Result of a Decades-Long U.S. Proxy War

by Matt Agorist,The Free Thought Project:

You won’t hear this on the nightly news, but the unprecedented violence currently tearing through Mexico is not some random, isolated cartel uprising. It is the catastrophic and entirely predictable blowback of the U.S. government intentionally arming, funding, and protecting the very narco-paramilitary death squads that are now setting Jalisco on fire.

Yesterday, the sky over Jalisco burned black as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) unleashed a wave of coordinated narco-terror in response to the assassination of their leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes. The mainstream press is predictably regurgitating the sanitized official briefings, painting this as a heroic triumph of military intelligence over an isolated vacuum of evil.

The claim that the CJNG functions as a legitimate paramilitary force capable of taking down military aircraft is not hyperbole; it is a terrifying matter of historical record that the state tries desperately to downplay.

On May 1, 2015, during an initiative dubbed Operation Jalisco, the Mexican military deployed Special Forces via helicopters to capture the CJNG’s founding leadership. As a Eurocopter EC725 Super Cougar carrying military and federal police operatives descended, CJNG forcesused a Soviet-made RPG-27 rocket-propelled grenade launcher to blast the helicopter out of the sky, killing nine law enforcement officers and forcing the military into a humiliating retreat.
