The boss employs two spies that watch over the action of the brigadier to ensure loyalty and that he does not get too powerful. At the bottom of the structure are criminal cells specializing in various types of criminal activity or functions such as drugs, prostitution, political contacts, and "enforcers." A similar structure places an elite leadership on top which is buffered by support and security personnel from the street operators who are commifting the crimes. Street operators are not privy to the identity of their leadership.

And in the sense that they are being portrayed as in the media. They are <strong>not</strong> in opposition to the rulers of America and, in this case, the rulers in Mexico.<br /><br />They are, in fact, working <strong>for</strong> them. <br /><br />That is the critical difference. And it is critical to understand this if ever this murder and mayhem is to be stopped.<br /><br />AP has done a great job in demonstrating how this is, in fact, government run and orchestrated.jameshttp://www.winterpatriot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-80789701227722539632011-07-18T21:09:52.910-04:002011-07-18T21:09:52.910-04:00AP, great post!

It like Dave said recently quoting Butch Cassidy, "Who <em>are</em> those guys?"<br /><br />"Know thy enemy", indeed<br /><br />Odin's Raven - this is a little different to the Roman scenario you describe.This would be like the Romans assisting the barbarians in destroying the barbarians own country and then marching in to 'save' the barbarian population from the mayhem the Romans have themselves sponsored. <br /><br />You describe the Romans <em>losing territory</em> from the actions/corruption of their middle ranks.<br /><br />The Americans, on the other hand, are <em>extending their territory</em> through the actions/corruption of their ultimate leadersjameshttp://www.winterpatriot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481838326205496616.post-49289435086273484762011-07-18T19:56:44.955-04:002011-07-18T19:56:44.955-04:00The late Romans supposedly had a problem with corr...The late Romans supposedly had a problem with corrupt governors and military officers assisting barbarian raiders and sharing their loot.

The region from Riga to Brest-Litovsk circa 1920-25. Porous borders, private armies and behind it all the operators in clear sight.<br /><br />I've warned, and I know you have too, that Paul is a Hapsburg agent of the reconquista and would love nothing more than to snatch Tejas back for the Roth. His obsession with gold and Fort Knox also lends grist to the mill.<br /><br />Nice work, thoroughly informative.INCOMING!!!!!!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06597034666699426965noreply@blogger.com
