Los Zetas Drug Cartel Seizes 2 U.S. Ranches in Texas (merged threads) (American, invasion)

Why is it no major "news" network has reported on this yet?

Well, the problem is that we don't know if this is true or not. There's a good chance that it could be, but we don't know that.

This is not in Obama's best interest so the MSM will not be reporting on it and FOX is cautiously slow.

I was gonna be like, "Is it true that a Mexican drug cartel has taking over ranches in the US?"

- Laredo Police Department -

Let us know if you get through to them and if they admit or deny the incident.

I don't see it in any Texas online MSM sites.

I called the Laredo police headquarters and no one answered the phone. Perhaps they saw my MD area code and knew why I was calling.

Either that or the PD has been taken over by the Cartel!

Of course,that does not mean the ranch story is true.

Maybe someone living in Texas can call the Laredo police headquarters. I tried, but I live in Maryland, and no one answered the phone. The number is: 956-795-2828.
