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.
