MEXICO CITY — The Mexican army killed the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” in an operation Sunday, a federal official said.
The official, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said it happened during a military operation in the western state of Jalisco.


It followed several hours of roadblocks with burning vehicles in Jalisco and other states. Such tactics are commonly used by the cartels to block military operations.

The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest of El Mencho.
In February, the Trump administration designated the cartel as a foreign terrorist organization.

Idk, the Egyptian Serapis, the Cult of Isis, and Mithraism (literal military cult) were pretty conservative and didn't oppose the established order as opposed to the rebellious Christians. Pretending Christianity wasn't a rebellious anti-Roman movement is a bit naive. Whatever conservatism that was there came from the Judaic tradition, as we all know how transgressive those Christian Gnostics were.

To keep it on topic, the mystery cults were a lot like Santeria in terms of syncretism. They both profess to still be "Christian" and "conservative" while adapting the older beliefs of the natives or sometimes just making up new practices.

Render on Caesar.
Christians were not opposed to Rome societally. They were opposed to the forced Emperor worship. Which it's self was as recent as Christianity. And it wasn't rebellious in the sense that there weren't Christian rebellion, because Christians never took up arms against Rome. They also didn't do things like deny paying taxes or working their jobs (unless that job required some pagan religious act), Christians wanted Rome to be Christian, not Rome to not exist.

Following up on my earlier post the most die hard lefties in Latin America are the descendants of the Spanish born in the colonies that are direct descendants of the conquistadores. They’re like Elizabeth Warren but they are virtue signaling even harder because their ancestors were the conquistadores and they’re trying to deflect the blame onto the Empire. The Spanish empire had many faults but one of the good things it did was checking the power of the conquistadores and their descendants.

They basically were a class of soldiers that were bummed the reconquista was over and wanted new lands to pillage. They were basically the mixture of Muslims and Iberians that converted to and from Christianity when it was convenient. They were seen suspiciously because they basically were culturally Muslims but religiously Catholic. They basically wanted all the spoils conquest would bring but were bummed that the peninsula was reunited. At that point there was exploration to and some trade with the new world and there were rumors and speculation about the wealth in central and South America. The conquistadores weren’t kings men they were basically soldiers and veterans that went awol. The best parallel I could give is it would be like if a charismatic guy convinced a bunch of us soldiers and veterans to overthrow the Arab Emirates to get their oil money and to get laid. But many of the soldiers were former Muslims/jihadists that converted to Christianity but specifically a strain of prosperity gospel evangelism and they still had a lot of their old habits.

Cortez specifically was very ambitious and really had some chutzpah. He not only convinced a bunch of soldiers to ignore direct orders to land in Mexico to look for gold but he literally fought a battle against the men sent to arrest them. He killed the representative of the governor who in turn is the representative of the king. This is a very big deal because the king of Spain is a Catholic king. He was both their spiritual and political leader so killing the man meant to arrest him was akin to killing someone appointed by God. The Spanish crown did want to conquer America but they didn’t want to try too early and essentially Cortez set off a chain of events that messed up their plans. Cortez would eventually be arrested but he had a lot of charisma and honestly was lucky to not be executed brutally. The crown was pissed because they weren’t ready to conquer the new world and it inspired a bunch of other men to go AWOL and do the same shit. They then spent decades tard wrangling the conquistadores to bring them into compliance.

Basically the Spanish crown had to conquer the conquistadores to establish their authority in the Americas. A lot of the conquistadores also married into local political factions/family rivalries. Which continued their old wars and grudges, especially in the former Incan empire that had rival claims to the throne. So that is why some of them will pull an Elizabeth Warren.

Anyways the reason this is relevant to a lot of lighter skinned Mexicans or Latinos being a problem is that the institutions of Spanish America were created to tard wrangle them. The crown saw a lot of them as suspicious characters because of their relatively recent conversion to Christianity and the fact that they went awol in the first place. As a result the Spanish empire would not allow the Spanish born in America to have political positions of importance. Those would only be filled by Spaniards known for their loyalty to the crown that were born in Spain. They were strictly forbidden from owning businesses in the colonies they administered. They were also forbidden from marrying the locals. This was necessary to avoid corruption. The Spanish crown also had a bunch of spies and inquisitors to keep tabs on the colonies, but specifically the conquistadores and their descendants. The government officials would literally only marry other Spaniards born in Spain and would send their pregnant wives back home to give birth to keep their status. Unfortunately with time the Spanish crown would get corrupt. Part of it is that they won the lottery and then got really bad at managing money. A part of it was that they were also part of the Holy Roman Empire and spent a lot of money trying to keep the Dutch down unsuccessfully. The Dutch were mad because of poor monetary policies that kept them down and because they were Protestants. They also wasted a lot of cash trying to win the hand of Queen Elizabeth. This ended up in them scrapping the old system and selling off political positions. The people who could afford it were the Spanish born in the Americas. They would then use their position to enrich themselves and screw over the mestizos and natives.

Naturally the old system made the descendant of the conquistadores very resentful. When napoleon placed his brother on the Spanish throne it gave them the opportunity to break free completely which they did. Afterwards they took punitive measures on the Native American nobility which aligned with the European nobility. The Spanish crown literally trusted the family members of Montezuma more than the conquistadores and made his grandson a Duke. So after independence the revolutionaries intentionally murdered and suppressed the natives and the Spanish from Spain, literally committing genocide against both as retribution. From then on they have continued their habits of using the state to enrich themselves at the expense of the nations interests. They aren’t nationalistic in the sense of they care for her country so much as lining their own pockets. At one point they were very pro-Spanish heritage and used that as justification for putting down indigenous groups but they’ve pivoted recently to eschew themselves of their ties to Spain à la Elizabeth Warren. This is because they like to emulate France and French politics because they like to follow trends. They basically are desert Canadians that also seethe at America and Americanism. You can know their positions and feelings on things by looking at the most retarded European leftists and then doubling the retardation. They also like progressive policies because it allows them to raid the tax payers while also soothing their feelings of guilt.

During the revolution the natives were largely loyalists. This is because the Spanish crown checked the conquistadores and their descendants power. So that’s why you will see some of the darker Latinos identifying with Spain. And also because the local nobility were literally assimilated by the European nobility. So they had 0 desire or incentive to put an end to the monarchy because they knew they’d lose social and political power. The Warrenesque larping from white Latinos is literally just a deflection to Spain and a way for them to blame them instead of taking responsibility for their hundreds of years of mismanagement and corruption.

It’s just going to get worse. The cost of living in Texas is high and the pay for jobs is lower than in other states. Most of the new infrastructure is built to cater to rich retirees aka boomers.

A post boomer Texas is going to be a dry decaying metropolis of more illegals(especially Jeets who will probably be grave robbing boomer graves) and homeless (add in all the millennials and Gen Z who didn’t get a cent from their selfish boomer parents and can’t afford rent). It’s going to collapse.

I’m thinking of getting the fuck out after my parents pass but not sure where the fuck there is left to go.

Honestly I am thinking of escaping into Ohio the Cincinnati area to be honest. I love dallas and the skyline will always be in my heart and mind or if the US is really bad maybe el Salvador or Japan if I have funds.
I love the state but the economy is not good post 10 years from now once the boomers die off the middle class dies off and without them you're fucked.
I want to live in a purple area still not every lefty is reddit personified.

Santeria is literally just Voodoo with a catholic coat of paint. It's entirely african, and any claims otherwise are false. It's also a favorite of Marxists in Latin America entirely because it's black and demonic, Hugo Chavez was a literal witch doctor and Santeria was the de facto state religion under Chavista Venezuela.

If anything, Santeria and Voodoo even existing is a damning indictment on Spanish and especially French colonial rule. That should have been stamped out centuries ago.

This is a feature not a bug of the Catholic world. The Protestant world tends to be anti iconography in many ways.
The reason you have the virgin de Guadalupe exists.
The reason why the church tolerates witchcraft over heresy.
Many native peoples were encouraged to bring their local tradions into christ. This is why you will see Voodoo priestesses also in many cases help the local church ladies with more mundane spells. (Think good luck, fortune, and etc...)
This is why Catholics in the Phillipines practice the crucifixion of christ every year while the Christians in the Methodist church are doing communion via grapefruit juice and wheat bread.
And is right now having a debate on if progress pride flags should belong on the front of churchs.

I mean I think worshiping some ancestors over others is perfectly normal.
Heck it's happening in my country under my eyes. The Commies were Romaboos and now the Democratic government goes on about how we are all true Dacians. You'll see some fucker from Bucharest, probably with Greek or Aromanian blood in his veins LARP about Zalmoxis while some guy still wearing sheep skin in a mountain in the middle of nowhere telling you how Romania was Christian since the 1st century and he's descendent from Trajan.

Assuming the early Christians weren't a part of the Jewish revolts, it's possible they learned from that disaster. To be against emperor worship and against the rites of the city religion of rome was to be against Rome at the time, and what they eventually did was just replace the emperor to a Jewish spiritual leader, symbolically speaking. Pretty much all the mystery cults aligned with emperor worship and sacrificial rites, especially the Egyptian ones.

Not entirely - the Santa Muerte cult (influential cartel cult) is almost entirely native. A lot of the voodoo appropriation is just natives taking folk magic/sorcery that is "proven" to work, since apparently the result of the Haitian revolution was due to African voodoo, this obviously amps up the lower classes. Most African voodoo is just that, folk sorcery with African spirits that could potentially align well with other religious spirits (archetypes/syncretism/sympathetic magic). You're right though - both commies and Freemasons are into this stuff for obvious reasons that involve subversion and cult control.

What a great idea. Let's train this military that is known to be paid off and affiliated with drug cartels. Let's teach them everything we know how to do. Nothing bad could possibly come of this.

Last time our special forces trained their special forces, the whole unit went rogue and formed the Zetas. I don't want a repeat, thanks.

The only way to destroy them is to turn Mexico into a functioning country or to completely legalize all drugs, prostitution, gambling, and all the vices they rely on for their bottom line. I’ll let you figure out which is more likely to happen.

I agree and I don't think anyone has the stomach for it.
Crime never goes away, best we can hope for is to convert cartels in the normal business.

Until humanity stops generating damaged people, the world will always have a demand for drugs.

Don't want to derail this thread but Santa Muerte is something very, very new (as in, last 40 years), and the iconography is almost entirely European. Mesoamerican gods of death are not often spooky skeletons, and when they are they don't look like the literal grim reaper, with a scythe, which is a European icon. It was born out of a religious experience a peasant had, which was rejected by the Catholic Church because it seemed more demonic in nature, and the cult has mostly been taking strength recently. I've explained this before but it's basically a demonic cult out of the Satanic Panic more than some syncretic belief. It's also not really practiced by natives who are still by and large the most catholic demographic in Mexico. Syncretism is mostly about patron saints for towns instead of patron gods, and rituals and dances that used to represent native mythology being transformed into dances celebrating the life and birth of Jesus, or His crucifixion, or even events like the Spanish reconquista.

It’s not so much them that causes the big snowball initially, it’s their rehab rat progressive millennial/older Gen Z offspring that they drag along with them for a “fresh start”

Every boomertopia area is rife with rehab facilities and half way houses, and it’s not for the boomers but for their insane drug loving kids.
