Texas Drifter Border Violence Not New
Marshall’s Law Dateline – Border violence along Mexico’s Southern border is merely recycling history with different names. Consider the area north of the Rio Bravo River also called Rio Grande River during 1830’s; 1840’s; 1860’s; 1870’s; early 1900o’s the Bandit Years; 1930’s; and cotemporary times. Texas Drifter can remember back as recently as mid 1980’s when he was warned that the only security he could depend on along South Texas Southern Border was his own.
Mexico’s history from its beginning in the early 1800’s has been based on recycled civil war anarchy every plus or minus thirty years. Last Mexico violent upheaval was due to happen in the 1960’s; but was delayed due to greedy internationalists using illegal immigrants crossing porous border into America to serve as relief valve to promote free trade profits for Moderate Republicans.
Interfering for greedy profits, by corrupt Mexican aristocrats; and Moderate Republicans like Bush clan by delaying inevitable Mexican history, has not only delayed but will increase collateral border violence against American citizens. Combine Marxist Democrats offering amnesty for votes to illegals to stay in power, will only increase blood shed of American civilians on American soil.
How many American know that U.S. State Department maybe allowing private armed guards to protect Mexican Aristocrat nationals who purchased amnesty visas to enter America, and who are considered domestic war criminals by many Mexican citizens. These clandestine armed groups will eventually encounter Mexican death squads operating in America seeking street justice against Mexico corrupt aristocrats hiding out in America.
Only a fool would believe that eventually one of the thirty million to forty million illegal immigrants in America will not provide information for money to Mexican death squads on when and where to find Mexican aristocrats also hiding out on American soil.
When such a shoot out occurs in a very public location it will teach Americans a new concept called a “cultural defining event”. Consider the death and carnage which recently occurred in Tucson, Arizona which involved only one alleged deranged man with one pistol.
Image horrific carnage which can occur when eight to ten professional combat hardened mercenaries with fully automatic weapons and grenade launchers; shoot it out at some shopping mall. On one side are combatants trying to kill corrupt Mexican aristocrats, and the other side trying to protect corrupt Mexican aristocrats. Brutal reality is average American law enforcement is not barely equipped to manage such a eventual scenario.
One two to three minute confrontation which has been orchestrated by for sale visas by Obama’s and Moderate Republican State Departments could easily result in dozens of innocent American citizens killed and hundreds wounded. Two other examples of defining events include the following:
1. Why does ABC, CBC, NBC, PBS, and other pro Marxist fascist news media organizations not report with same intensity more near term children being murdered in Pennsylvania as casualties of late term abortions by one alleged doctor then total number recently murdered in Tucson, Arizona? Follow up questions, was not First Amendment adopted to protect uncivil speech? If Liberal news media accepts genocide of near term children as not being news worthy, way waste time trying to engage Liberal Democrats and moderate Republicans with civil or uncivil speech?
2. Second older “cultural defining event”. Never forget these words: no lawyer, politician, diplomat, bureaucrat, or free trader will ever protect your civil world from terrorists known as barbarians in past times. Only those schooled in managing uncivil world problems will be able to protect your civil world. Classic example is Billy’s Mark
William Long Billy Rogers was born in 1822. During April 1846 Billy was camped with his family’s wagon train on the Arroyo Colorado near Paso Real, Texas. The group of fifteen men, three women, and four children was transporting supplies for General Zachary Taylor during the opening days of the American-Mexican War resulting from Mexico’s opposition to the Republic of Texas joining the United States.
During the encampment, the group was surrounded about fifty members of Mexican Army militia unit. The Rogers party agreed to surrender under a flag of truce in return for promises of civilized treatment by the Mexican Army.
Two of the men were immediately shot. The remaining men had their throats cut and were tossed over one bank of the Arroyo Colorado. Since this is a family format, I will just say the women and children were abused, had their throats cut, and were also thrown over same bank of the Arroyo Colorado.
Unfortunately for the offending members of the Mexican Army, Billy Rogers did not die from having his throat cut ear to ear. Billy managed to walk and crawl for four days to help.
Billy was eventually able to identify the guilty for General Taylor who tried but was unable to apprehend the guilty. Billy turned to the Texas Rangers who managed to track down and kill twenty four of the guilty. After asking about the remaining guilty, the Rangers told Billy he would have to deal with the rest himself.
Billy after learning Spanish and turning to a Hispanic Texan woman (he eventually married) who also did not care much for Mexican military troops decided to follow the Ranger’s advice.
During the next several years Billy individually tracked down and personally cut the throats of every single remaining Mexican militia member who participated in the Rogers Massacre. Some historians put the number from twenty to twenty five, although Billy was the only one knowing the exact number.
Citizens in South Texas came to identify the bodies as those with Billy’s Mark and the incidents were never investigated or questioned by law enforcement. Such was life and death in an uncivil world.
Eventually times became more civil, and Billy was elected first as county sheriff and later to the state legislature. Billy eventually went on to become a successful businessman.
Billy’s Mark teaches all of us two lessons. First there is a time to be civil and time to be uncivil. Second, if you do have the stomach to know what it takes to totally defeat terrorists or barbarians show those who do what needs to be done the same respect Billy’s neighbors showed Billy’s Mark.
Translation, do not judge those fighting and dying in an uncivil world so you can have the luxury of going home every day to play with your wife and kids. I told you when I started this writing exercise, that as a farmer’s son many consider me simplistic.
A once admired sophisticated intelligence operations manager said better than I ever could: Their only business is to stay out of my business. Now maybe you can better understand laws of survival in the uncivil world of national security. Keep comments and criticisms coming, it is your right hope you exercise it.
Texas Drifter hopes that America can avoid the cultural defining event described above which has been orchestrated by Democrats seeking votes from illegals, and Moderate Republican seeking profits from cheap labor and investments from corrupt Mexican aristocrats. Texas Drifter also knows that hope is the weakest of all security strategies.
Why, because Americans tend not to get involved until enough Americans have been killed. Guess Texas Drifter is getting tired as I also hope that Americans do not use American’s military assets to solve problems that only Mexicans in Mexico can solve.
