Vatic Note: This below is a story that highlights the courage of a non paid, non professional, investigative reporter for a blog in Mexico that is doing the job, the professionals are not doing. I used to live, many years ago, down in San Diego, Ca. I can tell you that these kinds of things were not as prevalent as they are today in Mexico. Why are the Attorney General and the Bush Cartels doing this?
The AG with Fast and Furious, selling the Bush Cartels in Mexico, American made military weapons is one aspect, and we covered that on another blog even before we found out about Fast and Furious. And the other aspect is the multipurpose Bush mafia uses these cartels for. To get these cartels to attract members, it takes a top down economy where the only hope of ever having anything in life is through illegal drug running. Unfortunately, the bad guys know this and it why they keep the wages low or non existant.
One of the reasons for Fast and furious by the US, is to take Mexico's oil from them that is controlled by the Elite Spaniards in Mexico, another is the drug running, of course to fund black ops here, that are criminal, and the other reason is to create instability along the border with the USA so the powers that be can institute the North American Union.
There are additional reasons as well that include banker money laundering, and the Zionist bankers/mafia also use these cartels as provocateurs in cities like Los Angeles etc, similar to what the CIA/MOSSAD do in the Middle East to provide a justification for all kinds of illegal acts by our government using the provocations they engineered, as an excuse to clamp down even more on our civil rights and the regime change in Mexico in order to gain control of their massive oil reserves, just like they did in Iraq.
Well, this blogger is bringing all of this to life. She was unknown for a long time, but they have recently discovered the bogger was a "she" and courageous as all get out, why? Because her life isn't worth a plug nickel as she is exposing all this that had to be kept quiet if it was too work. Well, now we will see since its made the news both in Britain and here. Exposure is the peoples' weapon of mass destruction.

Blogger Risks her Life to Document Mexico’s Drug War
For three years Blog de Narco has chronicled Mexico‘s drug war with graphic images and shocking stories that few others dare show, drawing millions of readers, acclaim, denunciations – and speculation about its author’s identity.
(This story was produced in partnership with the Guardian, where a version of this story also appears.)
Blog del Narco, an internet sensation dubbed a “front-row seat” to Mexico’s agony over drugs, has become a must-read for authorities, drug gangs and ordinary people because it lays bare, day after day, the horrific violence censored by the mainstream media.
The anonymous author has been a source of mystery, with Mexico wondering who he is and his motivation for such risky reporting.
Now in their first major interview since launching the blog, the author has spoken to the Guardian and the Texas Observer – and has revealed that she is, in fact, a young woman.
“I don’t think people ever imagined it was a woman doing this,” said the blogger, who asked to use pseudonym Lucy to protect her real identity.
“Who am I? I’m in my mid-20s, I live in northern Mexico, I’m a journalist. I’m a woman, I’m single, I have no children. And I love Mexico.”

This is the first time Lucy has spoken directly about the motivations for running a blog which could cost her her life. In the early days, her male colleague who manages the technical side engaged in a few short, anonymous email exchanges with reporters, but neither has spoken out since.
The telephone interview was arranged through an anonymous intermediary. The Guardian then took steps to verify that Lucy was in control of the blog.

‘They stole our dreams’: blogger reveals cost of reporting Mexico’s drug wars
She and her colleague live in daily fear of retribution, either from the cartels or government forces. She revealed that a young man and woman tortured, disembowelled and hung from a bridge in September 2011 – murders which shocked even atrocity-hardened Mexicans – were collaborators on the blog.
“They used to send us photographs. That was very hard, very painful.” The threats, she said, have recently become more serious.
Despite those fears, however, Lucy has written a book that gives an inside account of the blog and provides the most gruesome, explicit account yet of the mayhem that the cartel wars have brought to Mexico. Dying for the Truth: Undercover Inside Mexico’s Violent Drug War, is now on sale in English and Spanish, and documents a full year of killings from 2010, a pivotal year.“They used to send us photographs. That was very hard, very painful.” The threats, she said, have recently become more serious.
