MEXICO AND "SELF DEFENSE GROUPS// COMMUNITY POLICE UNITS






















Armed Self Defense Groups.... Auto Defense Groups... Community Police Units.

Pick a title if you like, but the reason why these "groups" have come into existence in Mexico is undeniable.

Regardless of the social economic status of a society, if a percentage of that society feels they are not protected by the very government that exist to serve them, then what recourse does that segment have?

It sounds simplistic and it is!

Three years ago, I was engaged in a rather lengthy debate over the theory of Mexico becoming a "Failed Nation State".

It was then that I began my argument that Mexico's status cannot be judged by purely economic indicators.

As I realized I was getting absolutely nowhere with the individuals wrapped into my discussion group, I place an alternative concept in front of them.

Is it possible for a nation to suffer from regionalized, temporary collapse of Continuity of Government?

Could a section of a nation fall into lawlessness and yet the nation survives with an overall passing grade by the "experts"?

Luckily for me and my side of this argument, we were still involved in two classic examples; Iraq and Afghanistan!

Well, to make a painfully long story short, I won that round of the debate and we set out on a path that has lead to my detailed and recognized hardened viewpoint of where Mexico now stands.

Yes, Mexico has a history of armed rebellion and we all know the current form of government was founded on a "revolution".. a revolution I would submit to you failed soon after the new "Revolutionary Government" was formed!

So, what is the difference this time around?

Why should it be a note worthy event to see these groups popping up in Mexico?

Is it really going to make a difference?

The short answer is....yes... it is different this time around and we better realize that quickly!

Over the course of the next few days, I will go into greater detail as to why these groups and their actions are vital to those who depend on Mexico remaining economically stable.

I will discuss who makes up these groups.

Who is trying to damage them and why? Hint... More than just the DTOs are involved.

Finally;

If you have not caught the "clue" yet, this concept of Self Defense organizations growing in Mexico is easily the most dangerous sign coming out of that country.
