The Mexican &#8220;government&#8221; reported that 47,515 people have been killed in drug-related violence between late 2006 and September 2011, with 12,903 killings having occurred in the first 9 nine months of 2011 &#8211; an 11% increase [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Burning Mexican Flag" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/mexican-flag-burning.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />On Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Felipe Calderón&#8217;s failed government released the updated death tolls from Mexico&#8217;s ongoing drug war. The Mexican &#8220;government&#8221; <a title="NY Times - Mexico Updates Death Toll in Drug War to 47,515, but Critics Dispute the Data" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/12/world/americas/mexico-updates-drug-war-death-toll-but-critics-dispute-data.html?_r=1" target="_blank">reported</a> that 47,515 people have been killed in drug-related violence between late 2006 and September 2011, with 12,903 killings having occurred in the first 9 nine months of 2011 &#8211; an 11% increase over the same 9 month period in 2010.</p>
<p>Those 12,903 killings equate to approximately one drug killing every 30 minutes of every day for the first 9 months of last year.</p>

<a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/gallery/miscellaneous/drug-war-stabbed-corps.jpg" title="&lt;strong&gt;NOTE:&lt;/strong&gt; This looks more brutal than the killing actual was. The lack of significant bleeding from most wounds and the lack of defensive wounds on the victim indicate the knifework was post-mortem." class="thickbox" rel="singlepic1007" >

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong class="highlight">30 Minutes Work For The Zetas Cartel</strong></div>
<p>Most of Mexico&#8217;s drug war killings haven place in just eight of Mexico&#8217;s 31 states, five of those ones that share a border with the United States. Yet, as long as those deaths are Mexicans and the happen south of the border, Americans won&#8217;t care and America will <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/an-unwanted-war/" target="_blank">fear to do anything</a> about the chaos and hell raging across the failed state to our south.</p>
<p>Nothing to see here. Move along! We wouldn&#8217;t want to upset anyone or force them from their comfort zone.</p>

<p>This is the true beginning of immigration reform &#8211; <em>real</em> immigration reform &#8211; because it strikes at the festering core of illegal immigration by punishing those within America who enable, aid, abet, and profit off of these criminal foreign invaders.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left-image" title="Marisol Valles - Guadalupe's new Police Chief" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/marisol-valles.jpg" alt="Marisol Valles - Guadalupe's new Police Chief - Her rape, murder, and mutilation are assured" width="150" height="150" />It may have taken a little over three months for savage animals in the Mexican drug cartels to get rid of the Chief of Police for the battle-torn Mexican towns of Práxedis Guadalupe Guerrero and El Porvenir, <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/garcias-rape-and-murder/">Marisol Valles Garcia</a>.</p>
<p>A relative <a title="MSNBC - Report: Female police chief, 20, flees Mexico Criminal group 'wanted to force her to work for them,' relative says " href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41904784/ns/world_news-americas/" target="_blank">reported</a> that she and two relatives &#8211; likely her husband and infant son &#8211; had fled to America after receiving received death threats.</p>
<p>Praxedis G. Guerrero town secretary Andres Morales, however, <a title="El Paso Times - Praxedis G. Guerrero official: 20-year-old police chief is not seeking asylum in U.S." href="http://www.elpasotimes.com/newupdated/ci_17532778" target="_blank">said that this report</a> had not been confirmed and was merely rumor. Morales claimed that Garcia had requested some time off to attend to personal matters concerning the health of her infant son, and that she was expected back to work soon.</p>
<p class="highlight" style="text-align: center;">~*~</p>
<p>With conflicting reports, both of dubious origin, I find it impossible to guess whether or not Marisol Valles Garcia and her family have fled to America. I hope so though since what the cartel vermin would do to her and her infant son doesn&#8217;t bear dwelling upon.</p>
<p>Some will say that her fleeing Mexico was an act of cowardice. I disagree. When a person takes over a police force of 13 agents &#8211; 9 of which are unarmed women &#8211; 1 working patrol car, 3 automatic rifles and a single pistol, it cannot be rightly called cowardice to not go up against either the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels or to flee the area when presented by them with an untenable offer.</p>

There's a far simpler and, I believe, <em>much</em> more likely rationale for Obama's foreign policy inconsistencies:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So what exactly is the foundation of Obama&#8217;s foreign policy? What are Obama&#8217;s goals for America&#8217;s international relations?

<p>There&#8217;s a far simpler and, I believe, <em>much</em> more likely rationale for Obama&#8217;s foreign policy inconsistencies:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-33078 aligncenter" title="This Space Intentionally Left Blank" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/intentionall-blank.jpg" alt="Infographic: Obama's Foreign Policy Goals - This Space Intentionally Left Blank" width="450" height="450" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">Infographic: Obama&#8217;s Foreign Policy Goals</strong></p>
<p>There are two rules one should always remember: <em>&#8220;The simplest explanation is most likely the correct one&#8221;</em> and <em>&#8220;Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>I firmly believe that Obama already displayed the extent of his foreign policy. He apologied to all and sundry for America&#8217;s status as a superpower, vilified the actions of his predecessors, and thought that our enemies would now begin to like, if not America, at least <em>him</em>.  </p>
<p>Beyond that, I don&#8217;t think that Obama <em>has</em> any foreign policy goals.</p>
<p>As the international situation grows ever more fluid and we in America move towards the 2012 Elections this is something to keep firmly in one&#8217;s mind.</p>

<p>But, by and large, America will do nothing about it, even when it spills across our southern border and into our towns and cities.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve seen the <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/a-filthy-problem-in-az/">ecological damage and pollution</a> that Illegal Immigrants repeatedly cause as they sneak their way into America:</p>

<p>But, aside from trying to clean it up and bemoaning that it happened in the first place, America will do nothing about it.</p>
<p>Mexican troops in full uniform and &#8220;battle rattle&#8221; have crossed America&#8217;s borders under arms hundreds of times in support of the drug cartels and have, in the course of doing so, repeatedly attacked American Border Patrol agents.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="450" height="368" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rk4QGHj1bqM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="368" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rk4QGHj1bqM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Yet America&#8217;s federal government will not only do nothing to quell these armed incursions into our sovereign territory, they have striven to take actions that <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/obama-v-america/">lend material aid and comfort</a> to these foreign enemies and prevent our border states from protecting themselves in even the most basic fashion.</p>
<p>Unless something fundamental in America&#8217;s viewpoint and philosophy changes drastically, nothing substantive will be done to address and/or correct any of these horrific problems and the threats they pose to the men, women and children of America.</p>
<h3>Beyond Mere Politics</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s no way any American can deny that politics plays its part in our government&#8217;s abject failure to deal with the situation that has arisen in Mexico and regularly spills across the border into America. But, even if we removed the Democrats&#8217; pandering to the Liberals and minorities and the Republicans&#8217; refusal to go against the wishes of the businesses who rely and profit upon illegal immigrant workers, the government will <em>still</em> not doing anything meaningful about the situation.</p>
<p>Restabilizing Mexico and removing the cartels&#8217; influence would require significant levels of armed force and a lengthy occupation of that nation -  in other words, it would require a war and subsequent peace-keeping efforts quite similar to what we fought in Iraq.</p>
<p>Mexico is just too close to the US for any administration to authorize such an action. We share 1,969 miles of contiguous land border &#8211; a border that is largely unfortified and difficult to patrol &#8211; and it would be impossible to contain the war south of it.</p>
<p>This is made far worse by the fact that the US has already been infiltrated by over 6 million Mexican illegal immigrants at any given time, any or all of whom might take up arms against America&#8217;s civilian population if the US authorized the use military force to prop up Mexico&#8217;s government.</p>
<p>Add to that sickeningly huge number of enemies already behind what would be our lines the 700,000 &#8211; 1,000,000 Black and Latino &#8220;gangbangers&#8221; who make their living off the drug trade.  They are well-armed, experienced in urban warfare, inured to savagery and violence, and hold a deep and abiding hatred of America in general and for Whites in particular.</p>
<p>No; given all that, no POTUS and no Congress is ever going to do anything about the drug-driven chaos in Mexico no matter how much it spills across our borders. They would never want to be the ones who brought that sort of war to American soil.</p>

<p>That she will end up raped, murdered, and dismembered is almost a foregone conclusion.</p>
<p>Chief Valles Garcia will be leading an amazingly <a title="Reuters - Mexican student takes over police in drug war town" href="http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCATRE69J62F20101020?pageNumber=1&amp;virtualBrandChannel=0" target="_blank">courageous force</a> of 13 agents, one working patrol car, three automatic rifles and a single pistol against the thugs of the Mexican drug cartels which war upon each other and the Mexican government&#8217;s forces for control of the area. Nine of her agents are women and will not be armed.</p>

Maricones poco &#8211; ustedes permite que sus esposas e hijas a luchar sus batallas. Ustedes me hace mal!</em></p>
<p>This young woman is amazingly brave, quite beautiful, totally committed to her people, and whole orders of magnitude better than the residents of the Mexican border state of Chihuahua can reasonably hope to ever deserve. But the cowards and filth in the Juárez Valley &#8211; <em>who will still claim to be men</em> &#8211; will sacrifice her and her family to the drug cartels while they hide in their hovels.</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong class="highlight">Chief Marisol Valles Garcia&#8217;s Fate?</strong></div>
</div>
<p>I very much do not look forward to reading about Marisol Valles Garcia’s rape and murder or to see pictures of her dismembered corpse; nor do I look forward to reading about what the Cartel thugs will do to her infant son. I fully expect to though unless something is done about the Mexican drug cartels &#8211; and I don&#8217;t see either Calderon&#8217;s failed government or the average <em>pocho</em> being either willing or able to do <em>anything</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of vodka; it&#8217;s one of my preferred spirits. There is one brand, however, that despite its quality, reasonable price, and easy availability that I do not purchase nor allow my family to do so &#8211; not that they would in the first place. That is Absolut, which was once one of my staple brands of vodka. The reason for my boycott is clear and simple:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-23834  aligncenter" title="Absolute Celebrates Atzlan" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/absolut.jpg" alt="" width="335" height="430" /></p>
<p>If in an &#8220;Absolut World&#8221; Atzlan has completed it <em>Reconquista</em> of the American Southwest, or even if they just thought that such an ad was appropriate to use in Mexico then they are the enemies of America.</p>
<p>Since I do not lend aid and comfort to the enemy, I do not purchase their products and encourage all other Americans to do the same.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: right;">&#8211; Edmund Burke<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0300107986?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=jnolan0f-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957&#038;creativeASIN=0300107986">The Yale Book of Quotations</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=jnolan0f-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0300107986" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Treason takes many forms, not all of which are obvious. One of the worst and easiest to commit is lending tacit support to America&#8217;s foreign or domestic enemies by doing any form of business with them whatsoever or lending them any aid or support even by proxy.</p>
<p class="highlight" style="text-align: center;">~*~</p>
<p>Keep your eyes open. Travel light but load heavy, and always put another round in the enemy after they’re down. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

All that actually happened was that Judge Bolton failed to hand Obama&#8217;s legal myrmidons a <em>total</em> defeat.</p>
<p>For Americans the preliminary injunction against enforcing some of the more active and probably more effective parts of Arizona&#8217;s SB 1070 is sad and more than a little frustrating, but it is a fair and practical measure for the court to take. With several lawsuits pending against Arizona&#8217;s new immigration law in addition to President Obama&#8217;s attack upon it, it makes sense to block enforcement of those parts of SB 1070 that would most likely result in the legal chaos and morass of wrongful imprisonment and civil rights lawsuits resulting from their being enforced and then overturned after they had been applied to people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="right-image" title="obama-angry" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/obama-angry.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="147" />Friday, May 29, 2010 President Obama demanded that the Us Supreme Court review and set aside an Arizona illegal immigration law. His federal regime thinks that it is <em>inappropriate</em> for the individual states to have such laws.</p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s administration, in a brief submitted by Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, said federal law <em>should preempt</em> state efforts.</p>
<p>From the <a title="Washington Post - Administration opposes Arizona law that penalizes hiring of illegal immigrants" href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/28/AR2010052804319.html" target="_blank">Washington Post</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The Obama administration on Friday urged the Supreme Court to review and  set aside an Arizona law that sanctions employers who hire illegal immigrants, saying it would disrupt the &#8220;careful balance&#8221; that Congress  struck in federal immigration law.</em></p>
<p><em>The act in question is not the strict new Arizona law that President Obama and other members of his administration have criticized. That measure authorizes police to question the immigration status anyone who appears to be in the country illegally.</em></p>
<p><em>The law being challenged, the Legal Arizona Workers Act, imposes tougher  sanctions than federal law for hiring illegal workers. If the court  chooses to hear the case, its ruling could show how receptive the  justices would be to arguments that enforcing immigration laws is a  federal responsibility that cannot be usurped by the states.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s somewhat interesting that Obama has chosen to attack the State of Arizona over this particular law, <a title="Arizona State Legislature - HB2745 - Legal Arizona Workers Act (PDF)" href="http://www.azag.gov/LegalAZWorkersAct/hb2745h.pdf?inDoc=/legtext/48leg/1r/laws/0279.htm" target="_blank">Legal Arizona Workers Act</a> which was enacted in 2008, rather than over the other, more recent anti-illegal immigration laws that Arizona, in the wake of <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/homeland-insecurity/">continued willful failure</a> by the federal government to <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/denying-atzlan-nsfw/">protect and defend</a> America&#8217;s borders, has been forced to enact.</p>
<p>One is forced to conclude that Obama, ever a fan of any nation except America, is bowing before the will of Mexico&#8217;s Felipe Calderon, whose failed government has a <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/ningunas-vueltas/">vested interest</a> in keeping these illegal immigrants employed within America. Obama&#8217;s timing is especially suspicious since it comes so soon after Calderon <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/excuse-me-felipe/">instructed Obama</a> on how to use America&#8217;s National Guard along the Mexican border.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s worse for America though is the disturbing trend being shown by Obama&#8217;s regime. President Obama has a very dangerous attitude towards the law, especially the intersection of federal and state laws. Currently he is jabbering that Arizona&#8217;s law should not &#8220;usurp&#8221; federal authority because it stricter than federal law &#8211; <em>which Obama refuses to enforce in the first place</em>. In the recent past, however, he has <a href="http://blog.jonolan.net/politics/holder-leashes-dea/">refused to exert federal authority</a> when a state&#8217;s &#8211; California in this case &#8211; laws were looser and in direct contravention of federal law.</p>
<p>Essentially, President Obama&#8217;s philosophy seems to be that, if he likes a federal law, he will use whatever means he can dream up to prevent the State&#8217;s from having sterner and more effective laws. Conversely, if he doesn&#8217;t like a law, he will bend over backwards not to exert federal authority to enforce it even if a state passes laws that directly conflict with- and attempt to nullify it.</p>
<p>This is a philosophy that is inherently dangerous and is an existential threat to America as a Constitutional Republic. Anyone who adheres to such a philosophy is an enemy of America and has no rightful business being allowed to survive within America&#8217;s borders much less fill, and thereby foul, the position of President of the United States.</p>
