Good Afternoon! This is an adventure to the critical places in the world by the COVID pandemic time: to the U.S. Southern border, and Mexico, illegal immigrants grounds; to Mali, Jihadists occupied land; to India, the drug business promised land. This is a story about searching for gold and giving a helping hand to those who need it. It is written like on the front between fights. Both Shakespear English & Brooklyn slang bounds it together. If you do not like gold already, after reading this book you surely do. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you very much.

Biden & the admin try to put all attention to the impeachment trial. The circus cannot hide the misery of Biden & Sanders. There is still left trillion d Trump's admin money. The B-squad stopped its distribution and ask 1.9 trillion more. 500 billion dollars is rarin´ to feed the Fed admin.
CNN is ignoring Trump's defense team's detailed explanations that the house managers didn't have a single piece of evidence against Trump. Jack Tapper and CNN want to condemn Donald John Trump.
Naow, they make their closing arguments. And then, at last, the voting. In no case, the Dems shall win. It was clear before and now ... huh, huh ... that Blackfella puts his hands here and there and is totally fucked up as a schoolboy or Calamity James ... terrific ... Guiding light & North Star ... The attorney boy just learns fancy words. Perhaps when he shall be ol, he maybe sees a dinky candle lighting the whole world. He shall, I hope, read our books and say: fuck, just a Kiss.
Van der Veen makes the point. Now the voting.
DONALD GREAT TRUMP, NOT GUILTY.
Trump gives an announcement. He thanks rightful members of the Senate and Congress. He says he cannot ignore 75 million hard-working Americans. Making America great again has just begun. And he shall, days to come, share with patriotic Americans the goal. The freedom convey is coming.
The Antifa scabies, who entered House as Trump's supporters, were paid by CNN and NBC to take videos inside the Capitol House. The leader John Sullivan was paid 70 000 d for that video where the Capitol Police Lieutenant Michael Byrd shot Afghan war vet Ashli Babbitt.
Adam Kinzinger and Pat Toomey got hard words from Reds and their families. Adam's relatives call his impeachment vote shameful act and Pat's county Reds say: “We did send you to present us, not to get manipulated. You embarrassed us when believing the House Managers' counterfeit tweets and anachronisms. Come back from W-swamp, we must talk about your future.”
The U.S. national debt runs right quick. In the springtime for Biden, it is over 27 914 500 000 000. The Fed takes loans. But do not put green to make profits but into sectors that don't work.
Biden lets the folks know that there are over 400 000 corona deaths. But there are 510 015 deaths. 100 000 deaths have come after he was elected president.
Biden tells: “Putting WW1, WW2 and Vietnam war together, you get fewer deaths.”
The U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen informs that tax increases on corporations and high-income individuals would be used to pay for part of the infrastructure plan. Companies that are green or eco-friendly shall get benefits. Others shall be punished with sanctions and taxes. Trucking companies shall also get benefits. They shall build infrastructure for electric vehicles.
Trump cut the corporative tax from 35 % to 21 %. Biden is planning to give money, especially to minority small businesses. The President plans to put 2 trillion into the infrastructure next four years. In January retail surged 5,3 %. Manufacturers are ahead of the curve. Consumer spending went up in January.
The House Budget Committee approved Biden's 1.92 trillion stimulus package (votes 19-16). Congress approves it later in the week and it shall pass the Senate with 50 Dems votes + Kamala Harris's vote.
Couples shall get 2 800. Price tag: 422.3 billion. Then state, local and tribal governments get 350 billion. They start growing the administration. And it means entrepreneurs pay the bill. Pandemic-related unemployment benefit provision a 400-a-week federal add. Price tag: 245,8 billion. Aid to help reopen the schools. Price tag: 128,6 billion. Child tax credit expansion. It enlarges per child to 3 000 d. Child under 6 3 600 d price tag: 109,2 billion. Multiemployer pension plan aid. Price tag: 81,5 billion. Minimum wage increase. First fed minimum goes from 7,25 d per h to 9,50 then by 2025 to 15 d. It means a minimum of 3.75 million jobs lost. Tens of thousands of small businesses going down. Price tag: 45,4 billion. FEMA price tag: 47 billion. Coronavirus testing 48;5 billion. Aid for metro transit system 27,9 billion.
The foreign investors own 40 % of the National debt, China 1,1 trillion. 78 % of that debt goes to the Fed administration. Biden's administration has a debt of 21 trillion. Sanders and Biden have a simple solution: put those companies pay 11 % more taxes. Well, profit shall go down and inflations wake up.
The pandemic killed 110 000 restaurants. If the minimum wage goes up from 7,25 to 15 d, small restaurants cannot hire 5-10 workers. The owners must do longer days and cannot manage. And if restaurant prices go up, it means much fewer tips to those restaurant workers. And many restaurant workers can take care of their children with those tips, not with their salary.
The so-called additional value means the opposite of what Karl Marx said; entrepreneurs work much more than their employees to get additional value, so profit. And oil, gas, and coal industry are getting problems and their prices go up. In the U.S. the old-fashioned socialist process is happening to destroy patriotic values and history, and talk instead of pseudoscience, racism, black history, and white power oppression.
Biden has put the U.S. back to the WHO, rejoin the Paris climate agreement, revoke a permit to Keystone XL pipeline, pause energy leasing in ANWR revoke an order that aims to exclude undocumented immigrants from census, stop construction of border wall, end harsh and extreme immigration enforcement, Combat Racism against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders, pause new land leasing oil and gas leasing on lands and waters, reopen Obamacare marketplaces begin to end remain in Mexico program, revoke Trump proclamations that aimed to suspend the entry of immigrants during the pandemic, cancel Trump's business orders. And B attacks police: House will vote next week George Floyd justice in Policing Act. Biden says he is ready after that to sign a law about the police reform bill.
Bernie Sanders accuses Walmart, McDonald's. He argues that growing the minimum wage doesn't mean jobs are lost. He talks that small businesses shall get help 899 billion.
Biden hasn't yet signed the laws of sexual minorities, cos he wants the stimulus package to go through. But there are coming laws that justify gay and lesbian lives as rightful and full honorable. Happy drag Queens of NYC!
Happy Bianca del Rio, Lady Bunny, Sasha Valour, Peppermint. There shall be fabulous, hilarious performances of RuPaul´s drug ring in gay bars and parties. You can't walk two feet in NYC without stepping on a drag queen. You know in Bushwick those Broadway songs and there you find those who try to win RuPaul´s drag race. Wigstock festivals, dark blue fairy good mothers, those old-timers from Brooklyn's drag revolution shall get their honor back.
The generation of DIY shall soon applause to CNN's intellectual drag queens as they already do in NYC parliament. And big DeBlasio shall always be their fav, while Cuomo is just a pig.
Then mislead rednecks from rattlesnake-Arizona shall make acquaintance with the new generation judithbutlers on snatch games. Thanx to Sleepy Joe, America's drag superstars may start their trips real & virtual to the free world. What shall real cowboys and bull riders think about? If socialism is too hard staff, the generous and sweet children of Buschwick, nightgown hosts, and experimental masterminds can help about that. You can make an honorable visit, thanx to Joe Biden, to Broadway Mondays, Illusions, Beauty Blender, and just St. Patrick´s dames ... Biden shall give the helping Fed money to National Miss Comedy Queen and Tina Burner and virtual queens can come soon take back their wigs and heels to real stages. They can pay their rents and drags and do just 3-4 shows a week.
If there are 155,76 million workers in the U.S. and half of them, 77,88 million, work in small businesses and minimum wage go to 15 d, then 2025 it shall generate 107 billion higher wages for workers. Well, inflation shall eat about 5-7 % of it. They can consume more. But cos minimum wages go up, the entrepreneurs cannot afford to keep so much working force, which means that prices go up. That means inflation.
35 % of small businesses went off in some months thanks to lockdown. Now they get fed money more and wages go up gradually. How many small businesses go down? How many employees of those 77,8 million lose their jobs? If the shops get more customers with better prices, it means small businesses shall replace the working force as much as they can with the past time working force and investing in tech. Tech doesn't cost 15 d per hour and does not belong to the labor union.
The U.S. has 30.2 million small businesses. The Congressional Budget office & its chairman Bernie Sanders say that 15 d minimum wage takes 900 000 people out of poverty, and 1.4 million employees lose their jobs. If 10,06 million small businesses shall kick out their workers, how does the employment number go up just 1,4 million? Let's count. If those 10,06 million small businesses lay off their working force, it means a minimum of 10 million unemployed persons more. And how about those rest 20,13 million other small businesses? If the small business working force goes to 67 million, how many small businesses go down? Probably not all 10 million. Perhaps just 10 %. One million companies. It means after the pandemic starts 45 % of small businesses go down. Well, new ones come all the time, and those businesses with trouble, most of them, survive.
Biden's administration has promised to give sanctions and high taxes to the firms which do not follow green orders. How you can put solar panels and wind power at once to Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio, and so on? Trump has put a lot of blacks and Latinos into the chemical and manufacturing industries. What happens to them? And tip workers in restaurants?
This 1.9 trillion stimulus package tells very little about using high tech. The stimulus package includes 10 billion for cybersecurity and IT tech. 288 billion goes to small businesses. New wave tech firms get benefits. They surely can keep their workers. Details are on the table. Senate shall vote. How that little money for 30,2 small businesses shall be shared? First to minority businesses?
If the U.S. national debt is 28 trillion and 60 % of it, so 16,8 trillion, comes from inside the U.S., what do those loaners get from it? They get profit. Treasury bonds get government and sell government securities: treasury bills, notes, bonds, and inflation-protected securities. The U.S debt to China is 1,3 trillion and Asian countries altogether 5.4 trillion.
The three biggest creditors in the U.S. are the so-called Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the federal home loan banks. The last depression came from there. The secondary market takes those loans and sells them. To invest in bonds is very safe. To pay debts the government must press more money. The government gets money from taxation, treasuries, and so on but debt runs up very fast. When the government takes now a 1.9 trillion loan and makes its administration bigger with 500 billion, it means dept running much faster up. Fed administration isn't profitable at all. Bernie Sanders wants a big administration. Who pays that giant administration? Companies. Their taxation goes up from 24 % to 35 %. The government cannot go bankrupt, but the dollar may lose its world currency position.
Sanders cannot count.
We are at 117th St, 156 R, Danny-boy´s Coffee & Bakery. We sit on the red chairs. And take baker rolls, made with fine and draw chocolate hazelnut butter, and one with nutella, one with pistachio cream.
On the table is my budget analysis. Hell Mary, in the big picture it is easy to say that no money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law; and a regular statement and account of receipts and expenditures of all public money shall be published from time to time. But our Book Towns Group, and its centers and houses, festivals have taken a big blow from lockdowns and even our paradise island accounts show no profit. Our deals with NYC clubs, European billionaires, and festivals make no profit. Political leaders are careful, and budget data and analysis are bad. Revenue, outlays, budget deficit, debt held are not good at all. Special and emergency appropriations fuck up.
I see only one outcome: we must do risk inventions right now, borrow money, and let our banker Bop risk it all with loan guarantees. I look at spending and revenue, and it is -150 M d. Tax cuts are almost zero. Health care, health insurance premiums, premiums for long-term health care insurance swallow so much. Hmm, mortgage interests, capital gains are so poor. Our social safety net is gone to rags and ruins. I call Bob, and ask debt immediately, to make my survival acts. I say to him do not think about risks at all, I take the risk. I have played a few budget games and simulations and think that work-inflation/deflation-price and our companies print (tech usage) money (using algorithms, products) worldwide (conquer the net), need the information of the gold price, charts, tech, data, reports. We must have gold.
I say something: "The Biden´s admin tries to unite everybody to its dystopia. I do not want to be a cyber crook and worm my way into people´s retirement accounts. Company insiders’ gifts of stock to charity are usually a telltale sign of a top in the price. Let´s go to gather priorities, where nobody else doesn´t go. Do not mean CA where it takes an hour to get from the beach to the snowcapped mountains, and not to the 742-evergreen terrace. Let´s go to spearchucker´s motherland.
Thousands of people showing up have reportedly overwhelmed Customs and Border Protection processing facilities, with nearly all of them running overcapacity. As of Sunday, nearly 16,000 migrant children were in U.S. custody. The administration has also denied requests from various news organizations to look inside the border processing facilities where migrant children are being held.
Biden, on Sunday, said he plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border at some point. He told reporters there’s a lot more that could be done to persuade families to stop trying to cross the border, including giving people the option to apply for asylum from their home countries. Democratic lawmakers have raised alarms about hundreds of kids packed into big open rooms. House Democrats passed two bills last week that would offer a pathway to citizenship or other legal protections to millions of undocumented immigrants, including farmworkers and younger immigrants known as Dreamers. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. It happens every year. Biden says that the vast majority of people crossing the border were being sent back, including many who were single adults. If so, who are those thousands after thousands of people who had already gone through?
Well, we use already our real Brlnrs, those gunrunners and scrippers in Europe and some of them in China. We need more muscular energy in Africa, Saudi Arabia, and India."
You look surprised: "Do you mean ..."
I: "Yes, there are diamond and gold mines in those areas. Need some experts from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. There must be some San Marcos boys at the border right now. No need to open history books about Mayans & Spaniards. Those heirs of Mesoamerican culture know how to find gold with their bare hands.
Metalwork and craftsmanship. In Guatemala. There are the most minerally rich sites in Quiche, Alta and Baja Verapaz, Solola, Totonicapan, Huehuetenango and San Marcos. Im especially looking at boys from Cerro Blanco. Goldcorp and Glamis Gold and Bluestone Resources are there. But these boys know better. They have lived there all their lives. Why put them to clean some COVID-bar floor. Let´s give them an adventure & the chance of the lifetime.
The Pacific Rim Mining Corporation has put its greedy fingers to El Salvador´s gold mining. I like to find El Dorado mine -boys. Cerro Blanco gives 1,24 million ounces and it is 160 km southeast of Guatemala City. But El Dorado gives more: 1.4 million gold-equivalent troy ounces. I hope we shall find the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) boys, cos they know both how to dig & smoke.
The corrupted Salvador government shall send us more gold diggers if the sum is right. They convince the world that El Salvador´s Parliament has forbidden all metal mining projects. What a joke. We must meet Cabana area boys, and if there are some kids near to the Holy Catholic Church, the better, cos Church has organized very good mining systems there. They say that the archbishop of San Salvador is a very good mining strategist. We must look at these Jose Luis Escobar Alas techs.
And, last-but-not-least is Honduras-kids. They are specialists of gold in quartz. We must say goodbye to the San Juancito boys and look towards La Tigra National Wildlife Preserve. Bab, there are our most pro boys. Those boys are good kids, love tropical birds, and are as quiet and serene as the landscape. Especially, Im looking for El Rosario boys. And from there they have looked so bootiful Valle de Angeles, Cantarranas, Santa Lucia, and Tegucigalpa. It is a strategic place, and so those kids are strategic kids. They know that You can find iron and quartz without gold, but you cannot find gold without iron and quartz. And they read the streams! I hope I find boys from the Guyape and Patuca rivers in the Oancho department."
You: "Shouldn´t we go to Timbuktu?"
I: "Yes, yes, ofc, with the kids. Frank arranges a plane for us, and it shall be a really great thing."
You. "When we go the border, they shall arrest us right away."
I: "They do not. Cliver can make excellent documents, and they follow Biden´s administration´s orders, cos it pays the border construction things, not the local state, so black-and-white at the right time in the right place, makes wonders."
You: "And where Frank shall land, in Arizona or Texas?"
I: "Biden did halt construction of new border barriers immediately upon taking office. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said the Fed suspended all bollard barrier and gate construction on January 21, 2021 and suspended all work on border infrastructure on January 23, 2021.
I need your skills, Bab, cos you speak Spanish. We are going to El Paso. No need to go to Donna or El Paso, itself. Do not need to talk too much with the Customers and Border Protection (CBP). We do not go to the Border Patrol tent and begin to ask stoopid questions about gold there. No need to begin to talk about clothing, food, and diapers. And we keep long distance to Thomas Saenz, president of the Mehican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Im not going to bribe any millionaires anymore. But we take with our water and soap. Those kids are so dirty.
I take Cliver also with us, cos in El Paso are Bloods and Crips. But Im not now interested in them or Gangster Disciples, Chuco Tango, or West Texas Tango. Im interested in Barrio Azteca ..."
You interrupt me: " But why, why we must meet those horrible people?"
Im surprised: " Bab, El Paso is located on Interstate 10, a major drug trafficking route that links the HIDTA region to many national-level drug markets using. I-20 and I-25.
You know, several Mehican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) are struggling for control over the El Paso/Juárez plaza. The boys use the region as a national-level distribution center and transshipment point for illicit drugs destined for major markets throughout the United States and as a staging and transit area for illicit drug proceeds smuggled to Mexico from these markets. Bab, we talk about La Entrada al Pacifico.
This trade route has not yet been developed to the extent that would support the volume of cargo shipments and truck traffic necessary for traffickers to conduct large-scale smuggling operations. Now they are opening it, to the net that does, illicit drugs transporting through the West Texas HIDTA by Mexican DTOs are destined for markets in the eastern United States, primarily Atlanta.
Gangs are defined as groups or associations of three or more persons with a common identifying sign, symbol, or name. The region is used by Mexican DTOs as a principal smuggling corridor and staging area fordrug transportation to markets throughout the United States, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Houston, Miami, New York, and San Francisco.
So what? So, the kids must be good, cos their work includes alien smuggling, weapons transportation, and terrorist entry into the United States through and between ports of entry. Most drugs smuggled into and through the region pass through the El Paso/Juárez plaza, a major drug-smuggling corridor extending from the “boot heel” of New Mehico to the eastern boundary of Big Bend National Park. (As I said via I-20 and I-25.) So what? So, Mehican DTOs exploit the robust, legitimate cross-border economic activity and social interaction between El Paso and its sister city, Ciudad Juárez, Mehico, and, on a smaller scale, between Presidio and Ciudad Ojinaga, Mehico, to conduct their smuggling activities. DTOs frequently arrange their smuggling activities to coincide with periods of high traffic volume, reducing the likelihood that their vehicles will be inspected. Mexican DTOs also use the sparsely populated arid desert and semiarid mountains and canyons of the West Texas HIDTA region as well as the numerous low-level water crossings along the Rio Grande River to conceal their smuggling activities.
Ofc, kids are used to smuggling cocaine and marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine, diverted pharmaceuticals, and precursor chemicals. The West Texas HIDTA has identified 6 Mexican DTOs as well as 157 multistate and 526 local DTOs that conduct drug trafficking activities in the area. These DTOs use their own financial resources as well as those of corrupt Mexican businessmen and government officials to conduct their trafficking activities; law enforcement reporting reveals that Mexican DTOs have also enlisted the corrupt U.S. officials to assist in their drug trafficking operations but to a much lesser extent.
There are already g the Vicente Carrillo-Fuentes Organization, also known as the Juárez Cartel, which previously dominated the plaza; Armando Corral-Herrera Organization; Ismael ZambadaGarcía Organization; Juan José EsparragosaMoreno Organization; Joaquin Guzman-Loera Organization; and Arellano-Felix Organization, commonly referred to as the Tijuana Cartel.
You say: "Please, go to the point."
I: "Tja, Mehicans have strengthened their control n by forming working alliances with various prison gangs, street gangs, and outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) to transport, stash, and package illicit drugs and to assist in money laundering activities. Mexican DTOs take advantage of the organizational networks that these gangs have established to distribute drugs in the area. And ... and ..."
You: "And what? Are you playing games with me?"
I: “And ... there it is."
You: "What?"
I whisper to your ear: "MyVictoria, Barrio Azteca, the most dominant and violent prison gang in El Paso, has a working relationship with the Juárez Cartel."
I continue: " No laboratories have been seized recently, whereas some mom-and-pop laboratories have been seized in the past in the El Paso area. Only small amounts of methamphetamine had been produced at the seized laboratories; most of the drug was intended for personal use by the laboratory operators or distribution to small networks. Cannabis cultivation, both indoor and outdoor, is limited in West Texas because of the wide availability of Mehican marijuana. Marijuana, methamphetamine, and heroin are transported from production sites in Mexico to warehouses and stash houses near the border for staging prior to being smuggled into the United States. Cocaine, which is obtained by Mexican DTOs from Colombian DTOs in South America, is transported through Mexico to these same staging areas. Mexican DTOs contract with other Mexican organizations to transport the drugs from these staging areas into the West Texas HIDTA region, where the drugs typically are consolidated and stored in stash houses. All illicit drug shipments smuggled from Mexico through the El Paso/Juárez plaza are controlled by a Gatekeeper5 that regulates the drug flow from Mexico across the U.S.–Mexico border into the United States. Gatekeepers collect “taxes” on all illicit shipments, including drugs and illegal aliens, moved through the plaza. These taxes are then sent to associated cartel accounts. Gatekeepers use any means necessary to ensure that taxes are collected from smugglers, including extortion, intimidation, and acts of violence. Gatekeepers also bribe corrupt Mexican police and military personnel so that smuggling activities can proceed without interruption.
Most drugs are smuggled through the three-official international POEs located in the HIDTA—El Paso, Fabens, and Presidio—which consists of a total of seven crossings located along with the West Texas–Mexico border. Most of these crossings are located within 50 miles of the El Paso POE, which processes most of the cross-border traffic.
Yes, I know there go 740,000 trucks and 143,000 freight railcars, but I know more. La Entrada al Pacifico, a new trade route expected to be completed on Sunday, will most likely increase the flow of illicit drugs and precursor chemicals into the West Texas HIDTA region from Mehico, including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamine from Mehico and cocaine and heroin from South America. The trade route could also facilitate bulk ephedrine and pseudoephedrine smuggling into Mehico and the United States as a result of the increase in Asian cargo that will be transported along this route.
This four-lane highway will extend from Port Topolobampo in Sinaloa on the Pacific Coast of Mehico through Ojinaga, Chihuahua, to the Presidio POE, serving as a major trade route for the movement of cargo from the Eastern Pacific Ocean to the Southwest Border. A large portion of Asian cargo is expected to be redirected from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Mehico when this trade route is completed.
So, the kids are the key when looking at this new bootiful road - La Entrada al Pacifico. Drug traffickers take advantage of the sparse population, relatively open border, and rugged terrain to conceal their drug smuggling activities. Couriers smuggle significant quantities of illicit drugs into the area at numerous low-water crossings, using vehicles, horses, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) as well as on foot. You know, asylum-kids are very good foot-soldiers.
Traffickers use makeshift strips in northern Mexico to offload and store illicit drugs near the border pending transportation into the region. They could also use strips on the U.S. side of the border to fly directly into the area, using low-level flights to avoid radar detection.
The primary transshipment point for drugs smuggled into the western half of the HIDTA is El Paso, while Midland/Odessa is the principal transshipment point for drugs smuggled into the eastern half of the HIDTA. These transshipment points are used by Mexican DTOs to supply significant market areas, including Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, and Kansas City. Most drugs are transported from the HIDTA region to distribution centers over interstate and secondary highways. 506 street gangs and 20 prison gangs are involved to varying extents in retail drug distribution.
Barrio Azteca controls cocaine, heroin, and marijuana distribution in El Paso. However, the gang’s activities have been limited as a result of a “safe zone” injunction that prohibits its members from being on the street after dark. Barrio Azteca has connections to Mexican DTOs operating in the El Paso/Juárez plaza, providing them with a direct source of supply for heroin and other illicit drugs. Mexican DTOs operating in the West Texas HIDTA region also use traditional depository financial institutions (DFIs) and money services businesses (MSBs). Such as money transmitters and casas de cambio located in the area to launder drug proceeds within the HIDTA region. La Entrada al Pacifico has the potential to become a primary smuggling route for the flow of illicit drugs from Mexico into the United States in the long term. Planned upgrades to Port Topolobampo Scheduled road construction in Copper Canyon will result in increased trafficking through the Presidio POE."
You: "So?"
I: " We go to La Entrada al Pacifico, find a certain Barrio Azteca-gatekeeper. Every common tourist understands that road San Pedro-Cuauthemoc-Chihuahua-Aldama-El Marrion-La Mula-Ojinaga must be very important, so road 16. But, but, Bab, that is the bluff. It goes via 45. There is the so-called kid´s highway to Fabens. Trump´s wall is in very bad shape, cos corrupt lawmakers tell that there has been very hard wind, and Biden doesn´t give money anymore. They say that the wall looks good, but it may collapse any day. Actually, Barrio Azteca-gatekeepers open it by night and put the fence ´alright´ by daytime. That´s it."
You: "With you, there is always more. So?"
I: "We keep away from Border Crime Initiatives (BCI) / Investigations, Enforcement, K-9, Attorneys and staff, Emergency Management Unit (EMU) / Emergency Preparedness, High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Initiatives (HIDTA) / Enterprise, Task Force, Anti-smuggling, Multi-Agency, Transportation, Source City, Attorneys and staff, Investigative Support Center (ISC) / Intelligence support and deconfliction. Do not need a hard drive.
We meet some, how you pronounciate it in Spanish, barjo asˈteka -boyz. Frank & SEALs call them los asˈtekas -m-fuc***ers. Frank says that in that area there is a strengthened regiment of them, some 5 000 Catholic sunshine boyz.
They call themselves beloved El Paso del Norte Muertes, or something like that."
You become not over the moon: "We go to the land of drug trafficking, human trafficking, arson, murder, assault, auto theft, burglary, extortion, intimidation, kidnapping, and robbery?"
I: " Ai, if we wanna find gold in Africa, Saudi Arabia, and India. We for sure find those experienced kids from there, cos 70 % of the cocaine to enter the U.S. does so through the area, and La Entrada al Pacifico has its heard in Fabens. Los Mexicles & Sinaloa have not yet found out what Eduardo Ravelo-boyz are doing at F with Juárez & La Línea. In the Fabens area, about 50 square km are Apehangers and about 10 000 kids altogether. Barjo as´teka-kids are interesting, cos they give an oath to God, and Senor Eduardo. Nearby is, by the by, some Sinaloa´s Los Salazar boys but we do not concentrate on them. Barjo as´teka -crims in prisons are famous for their massacres. One time the Mehican authorities were able to militarize one prison area with more than 200 federal police officers, 50 soldiers, two helicopters, a plane, and an unknown number of state and municipal police forces. But not before that. They have also assassinated the U.S. consulate.
Well, Trump made good. With his help Barrio Azteca Capo Eduardo ´Tablas´ Ravelo was arrested. Rene Gerardo Santana Garza, known as ´El 300´, was arrested. Juarez police arrested the leader of the group's ´Old Guard´ fraction, Jesus Alfredo Martinez Mendoza, alias "El Freddy or El Ferro. The high ranking Barrio Azteca leader Jose Dolores Villegas Soto, who is known by his moniker ´El Iraqui´, and aliases ´El Iraki´ and ´El Lolo´, was arrested. La Empresa Ungle and Goofy were arrested. And tens of lower-ranking dons and waqas.
Then came Biden, and come peace, and Barrio Azteca is more powerful than ever. You know, there is The Gnome. And he loves stories about Girolamo Savonarola, that cray cray priest from Florence, who had in Renaissance time a dictatorship with the street kids, who tear in pieces a lot of artists, scientists, and noblemen, in the name of Punishing God. When that mighty Gnome is torturing and killing people, he quotes Girolamo: ´The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet within our reach, is joy. Take joy.´ He has taught his Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras kids well. They pray: ´Quedarse nadando entre dos aguas´. But Bab, we go to the borders and make an ambush and take a bunch of the golddigger-kids not to Limbo but el Paraíso no está en ninguna otra parte. Está dentro de tí. Y no se encuentra después de la muerte. Está en es ..."
You look at me again: "That is a very truff place, Tapio. We talk about survival."
I nod: " Must take care of that part. I call Frank. --- Hello, MyBoy, how is your father for spuds? Really? That´s fantastic. Anyway, tomorrow at 6 am, JFK, normal proceedings. Yes, M27 IAR sound fine. No, not M4A1, oh yus, M26 MASS I luv it, well take it, Maxwell Atchisson AA-12 is ok. Yes, our time colt, must be Colt RO635 9mm SMG. Where do you need M136 AT4? What, Dave takes M32 MGL Multi-Shot Grenade Launcher? Shall he start a private war? Yako, Im not insulting anybody, bro. No, you are not a scro. See you, baibai & peace out."
I call Cliver: " Heay, there, waddup? Do you have still your Glock? Nang. Buy a lot of bullets cos tomorrow is D-Day. We are landing at Mehico. Need some kids who know what Limbo means. What do you mean that your gf doesn´t want you to go? Your fame shall grow, and you shall be phamous. No, not aboriginal who steal stuff. At 6 am, JFK. Give my regards ... Hello? “
Hmm, these millenniums are so susceptible. They believe life is grand thef auto: San Andreas. And they think that in real life are likewise so many things you can do besides follow the main story. Like, being a taxi driver, paramedic, pimp, valet parker, street racer, truck shipment driver, pool shark, gambler, and so on. And then you can just say ´don't take this personally, but you gettin' jacked´.
You look still not happy. I begin to hear in my ears Reel Big Fish ska thing We´re Not Happy + Til You´re Not Happy. I pus-pus your finger where the emerald ring is. I wink and try to smile: " Green shall rain. And you do not need to do much. Just speak some words with these Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador high-interest kids."
We go hand-in-hand, smell the roses and the world smiles back to us.
When New Yorkers begin to celebrate, it signals gr8 things to happen to the rest of the world.
In NYC, everything shall go back to normal cos the show will go on, and the city plans to reopen Broadway. New Yorkers know what they are doing; prepare the brisket and matzoh ball soup, skip the unleavened bread, and don't forget to be careful against the coronavirus.
The Jewish holiday, which marks the Hebrews' deliverance from slavery and returns to Israel, begins on sundown Saturday and runs until nightfall April 4. Yes, Celebrations this year likely will involve more in-person get-togethers than in 2020, when the city just started lockdowns and mass social distancing. Many New Yorkers, especially the elderly, have been vaccinated against COVID-19 and the city is gradually returning to normal. Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday said this is the city's last Passover celebration under coronavirus restrictions.
The 92nd Street Y is hosting a Seder on Zoom starting Sunday at 7 pm. The program is free, but participants need to register ahead of time. The event is coupled with a food drive conducted with City Harvest for Jewish New Yorkers who struggle to put food on their tables. Central Synagogue in New York City has a family Seder led by Rabbi Rebecca Rosenthal and Jeremy Sipe set for Saturday night on Zoom. The Seder will last for about an hour and include readings from the Haggadah. The Jewtastic text is traditionally ready at a Seder before families log off and continue the celebration at home. The Lower East Side's iconic shops offer a Passover menu with chopped liver, gefilte fish, and more for Manhattan pickup and delivery. It might be best to order early.
And you know, this legendary deli is just down the street from Russ & Daughters. Its Passover menu is available for both pickup and delivery, making it easy to stock up on pastrami, brisket, and kugel.
When New Yorkers begin to celebrate, it signals great things to happen to the rest of the world, too.
All adult New Yorkers who live and work in the city's 33 hardest-hit neighborhoods should be eligible for the coronavirus vaccine. And already on Friday temperatures reached 73 degrees, and some wind gusts reached 50 mph. There is surely springtime for NYC.
Parents quickly leaped on an opt-in period open until April 7 that gave them a chance to send their children back to classrooms. About 25,000 more students — and counting — will be back in New York City's public schools´ classrooms this year. It remains to be seen if the new sign-ups take a significant bite out of roughly 700,000 students whose parents opted to keep them fully remote as schools reopened in September.
Cuomo on Friday announced the state will partner with SOMOS — which has a 2,500-provider network in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens — and provide it with 1 million doses. And when you become a good person in the U.S. then fake news attack you and try to put you in jail.
So it surprised nobody real or deep New Yorker that the governor — who once held daily, if not more, briefings with reporters — has taken fewer and fewer questions from the press amid ongoing scandals over sexual harassment accusations against him and his handling of nursing home deaths in the pandemic. Instead, Cuomo has increasingly turned to make appearances with friendly audiences, such as in communities of color where his support is strong.
It is strange when Latinos love you, then it is a sign that something is so wrong with you - or fake news thinks that way. So it happened with Trump and now with good person Cuomo. The worse sinners like Bernie and Alexandria are celebrities - cos they are stoopid and not liked by many great Hispanic human beings. Cuomo said New York City's vaccination effort is still leaving too many people of color behind. The city's population is 27 % Black, yet only 19 % of that group is vaccinated.
But nothing can stop the happy days are soon here again. Three dolphins swimming in the East River. Think, of three dolphins near WNYC Transmitter Park on Tuesday. One Cailin Doran named deep New Yorker posted the videos on Twitter for all of New York City to see. And it's just such a bright light in everything that happened over the past year. Doran — a dancer, singer, actress, and choreographer originally from California— trekked from her Upper West Side home to Brooklyn that morning to get a coronavirus test. She just thought it was such a bootiful day, she got a coffee and sat on the pier and there were dolphins. You know, three is a holy number in the great book, and it is always a good sign. Her last video shows the dolphins breaching the surface under the city's skyline.
And in NYC are hotels for bees; wheels for a dog; café owner hears what customers need; never say "no" to this group of friends; live and drink wine for free. World War II veteran Gardner Leo Signor, who died Sunday at the age of 101, was part of a generation who fought tyranny and fascism overseas and was able to live to tell about it. In fact, Signor outlived all of his immediate family. So much so that when he died, there was no one left to honor him in New Hampshire. The Concord Police Department made sure the state's native son got the funeral he deserved. "It seemed wrong for him to die alone," Concord Police Deputy Chief John Thomas told his great bros. A big parade is planned next month to honor Keri Stromski, a beloved Aquebogue, New York, kindergarten teacher battling breast cancer. It's no surprise to those who know the teacher that she shifted the focus to spotlight the kids. Front-line workers of all stripes have been recognized for their sacrifices during the pandemic, and the unsung heroes have been the children.
Prospective renters in New York City have swimming in deals since the coronavirus struck — and a new tool aims to help them score better bargains. A $3,500-a-month three-bedroom apartment in Park Slope, for instance, would be a great deal. That price is $943 less than the neighborhood's average for apartments that size, according to the calculator. Rents across New York City have dropped sharply amid the COVID-19 pandemic — between 15 and 20 %. And NY surpasses 50K COVID deaths.
As more local businesses and venues reopen, it becomes safer to gather in small groups. Not only can you find fun stuff to do in your area this spring, but you can also share any events you may be organized so that all your neighbors know to stop by garage & estate sales, local shows & festivals, workshops & virtual gatherings, fundraisers & volunteer opportunities, sporting events & camps, any other local happenings.
It is a bootiful Easter morning at 6 am. El Paso International Airport is the gateway to West Texas and, well, to all over the great U.S. There was in WW2 the 385th Bombardment Group, 491st Bombardment Group, and 497th Bombardment Group who take care of their part that Hamburg and Dresden were sent to the stone ages.
We go from gate A2 and are in a hilarious mood. We do not have face masks and terminal guards begin to come nearer to us. Frank shows his SEALs thing, and the airfield boyz back up. Cos Aeropuerto is four miles from downtown Chucotown. Well, we are interested in the borderlands east of El Paso and west of San Antonio. But for your shake, we go to Chicos Tacos, where they serve the best tacos you will ever eat in your life. The boxing promoter Joe Mora did a good job, and his Chico´s has entered in local legend for its rolled tacos, a special tomato soup-like sauce, as. I just love Mora´s family. Even Jim Ward and his band Sparta are the fans. And Paul Rodriguez, and sport Oscar de la Hoya, Eddie-boy Guerrero, and AOC fan Julian Munoz love the place, too.
Cliver says to the waiter: "Im all goot nouthed give me taquitos quickly man. I have heard that here is the real meat before Saturday Night Lights." A lady upfront becomes very rude and upset and talks bad mouthing about him. Cliver laughs and says: " First of all it doesn´t seem very clean and you have a dank bathroom feel to it. We ordered the rolled tacos in whot seemd to be sitting in week-old dog juice. I cannot eat this fuck. Give me a bean burrito or I begin pop smoking here. You can´t screw that upright? Well, I try to choke down my dog food. This hits me like a ton of bricks. If you go into the grocery store and open a can of refrained beans and slap it on a tortilla that shall be gourmet compared to this. It´s eating out of a garbage can! You should change the name of this place to $#!t on a shingle."
I say on my behalf: " This is fantabulous, heavenly taquitos. A triple of tacos is so loaded with cheese. Real Mehican food."
You are more than happy, too.
Well, then we change our look to the borderlands. We take a Buick and begin to drive the road 10. We go from Cielo Vista to Stoneheaven, then towards Sparks. Gateway Blvd W is fast and fine. There is Fly interchange Inc., Three Frontiers Express, FedEx Freight, TxDot, Gamer Logistics.
You say: " So how long shall this take?"
Frank: " Just 20 km from Sparks. A lot of bushes and dead round. A lot of rattlesnakes."
I try to look at the bright side of that desert:
"Did you see those groups of wanders? They are for sure El Salvador immigrants. They just walk there on the right side of the highway. They and nobody else seem to care a fuck. The name Fabens comes from an attorney G. Fabens who was born in the Wild West in 1857 and died before WW2. Even Sam Peckinpah loved this place his film gives here great explosions, car chases, and intense shootouts. This is the land of great Hispanics. A lot of youngsters and old-timers, just some 10 % hard-working people.
In Trump´s time, the pecan fields in Fabens provide peaceful scenery, but not anymore. The farmers around were accustomed to waving to Border Patrol agents while they were out in their fields. They didn´t find ever in their backyards clothes and other items of an illegal immigrant crossing their lands. They felt secure & safe. They didn´t think it was necessary for military action of military protection. Now they pray for 2 000 - 4 000 National Guard members to the border to help fight against illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Kamala Harris and AOC who have free access to the security cameras sights laugh at these calls. The Border Patrols had sensors near peasants´ pecan orchards that will trigger agents as soon as there was moving along the area. Now Barrio Azteca Limbo-boyz have torn them all off.”
We are arriving at Fabens. The day is still bootiful, sunny. Highs in the lower 80s. East wind 5 to 10 mph.
Meanwhilst, Alexandria (Ocasio-Cortez) tells Kamala (Harris): " Border Patrol’s lack of accountability and oversight paired with its culture of violence has resulted in the loss of lives of both migrants and American citizens. Since January 2010, at least 120 people have died as the result of an encounter with U.S. border agents. Many more have been brutalized, in some cases causing life-altering injuries. SBCC has tracked these deaths based on media coverage and/or press releases from Customs and Border Protection at the time of these incidents. They have killed two people already this year: The 29-year-old man was picked up by Casa Grande Border Patrol agents on March 25, and, according to Border Patrol, showed ´signs of medical distress´ while at the Tucson Coordination Center. He was pronounced dead two days later. Diosmani Ramos was shot by a border patrol agent sometime around 7:38 am on Friday, January 29th, 2021 in Hidalgo Texas, about a mile away from the Hidalgo port of entry. Diosmani was holding a stone, and the border agent shot him in the chest when he refused to drop it. Diosmani was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead at 9:00 am. Murders, we must attack at once against Border Patrols. They are violent imperialists, racists, fascists, and people of color haters."
Dimwitted lazy dunce, on the White House table is a strategic border report from the Southern Border. It is not open. People are celebrating Easter, and have no time for extra news, except the trial of Derek Chauvin. When El Paso sheriff Richard Wiles send his report three days ago, he was angry as hell and cannot understand why the state or the Fed do not take his calls at all. He tries to protect lives, property, and the rights of people, maintain order, enforce the law impartially, provide quality police service in partnership with other members of the community, and borders are open.
He laughs at those women reporters who come to the border and write shit like that. He throws the last fox news report on the table which tells: Far too many children are abused, sexually assaulted, or trafficked on their treacherous journeys through central America to our border. A Doctors Without Borders survey found that 31 % of women and girls and 17 % of boys were sexually assaulted on their trips to America. So familiar are migrant parents with the assaults on children that girls are loaded up with birth control before they embark on their trip. To the cartels — these kids are a commodity — no different than the illegal guns or drugs they bring into our country. And human smugglers´ business is booming — every day they’re making upwards of 14-million dollars trafficking people across the border. The children who are stolen into human sex trafficking rings face a horrifying future, from which they will never mentally or emotionally recover. Other children don´t make it to this country at all.
He shakes his head. His strategic report is totally different. He cleans his gun and thinks: “ Those mo***ers, those bastards, the situation is being exacerbated by the Biden administration’s expulsions of migrants into Ciudad Juarez” under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Title 42 public health order, Dylan Corbett, executive director of the Hope Border Institute. McAllen Mayor Jim Darling lamented the politics that surround the issue. ´It’s not quite a running joke but it’s too bad that Republicans tour the border and focus on beleaguered law enforcement officers and Democrats come to tour shelters´, he said. Then both sides hold press conferences to push their point, go back to Washington and don’t talk to each other.”
Overwhelmed and underprepared, U.S. authorities are releasing migrant families on the Mexican border without notices to appear in immigration court or sometimes without any paperwork at all. And Mehicans are poor shit: this week marks 26 years since Selena Quintanilla, the “Queen of Tejano,” was gunned down by the president of her fan club.
He throws another paper on the table: officials of a small border town in Texas' Rio Grande Valley have seen an uptick in car pursuits compared to the same period of time last year, and they say it’s due to more narcotics and illegal crossings at the border. Reports are now coming out saying that 171 thousand people were apprehended at the border in March of 2021. He mutters: “At this rate, 2 million will be apprehended at the border this year. Thank you, Joey. You are the Best President ever for not American Citizens.”
Richard looks at the vid where smugglers drop two Ecuadorian toddlers over the border wall and run away. He knows that while the officers are going to take those toddlers, hundreds of illegal immigrants are attacking the open border.
The Washington Legislature has approved a bill aimed at shutting down one of the country's largest for-profit, privately run immigration jails. It makes the situation worse. The gang members come more together. And Washington leftist attorneys are now saying that Labor Department investigation revealed that Backyard Farms dismissed domestic workers to make room for foreign workers and paid them less.
Richard´s men and state workers are opening a new tent facility to process migrants in Eagle Pass. There are already thousands of undocumented immigrants and hundreds more are coming every hour.
Wiles lols at the news that the governments of Mexico and the United States are discouraging non-essential border travel this Easter weekend to prevent a new spike of COVID-19 on the border. He shakes his head cos a private Christian camp in northern New Mexico is looking for volunteers and donations as it prepares for the potential arrival of immigrant children from the U.S.-Mexico border as federal holding facilities become more crowded. He looks at a report where members of the Texas Department of Public Safety’s South Texas Special Operations Group say smugglers threw a 6-month-old from a raft into the river.
Richard writes in his report that migrant smuggling is up five-fold in a rural stretch of the Far West Texas border area. He puts there a quote from Chihuahua Deputy Attorney General Jorge Nava´s border report from Fabens in the outskirts of El Paso all the way to Sierra Blanca.
His report includes that El Paso Sector needs initiative and the national strategic plan. CBP must intend to expand the Fabens Fining Range capacity. CBP has had The Environmental Assessment for the Expansion and Operation of the Office of Border Patrol Fining Range near Fabens, El Paso County, but not anymore.
USBP agents must qualify with a range of small arms weapons. Qualification with a variety of weapons is critical for law enforcement duties. The existing Fabens Firing Range is situated on 15 acres of land currently provides 18 firing lanes. 1 100 USBP agents from the El Paso, Ysleta, Fabens, and Fort Hancock Stations currently use the existing facilities to qualify on small arms usage each quarter. A new, larger range is needed to accommodate the increase in agents in the El Paso Sector. Richard writes about operational and programmatic concerns.
According to a report on Friday, DEA agents were already on track to exceed drug seizures from both 2020 and 2019. He tells about tons of USBP agents found methamphetamine caches in the Fabens area.
Richard´s report tells that the agency has found in this fiscal year already 3 100 pounds of meth, heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine. This has come with migrants and drugs entering the country. Last Friday, CBP officers at Hidalgo arrested a man after discovering $1.5M worth of meth. the Biden administration has weighed the option of sending illegal immigrants to the U.S.-Canadian border for processing. The CBP will request planes to transport the migrants to northern states.
