"La Tuta", Lord of the Videos, Captures the Government On Tape

By Jose Gil Olmos for Proceso  translated by Reed Brundage MexicoVoices
With the spread of various recordings in which he appears with several players in Michoacan politics, making agreements or giving orders and demonstrating the power he has gained over the government of Fausto Vallejo and the political institutions of Michoacán, Servando Gómez, "La Tuta", became the Lord of the videos.

The teacher from the rural municipality of Arteaga, founder of La Familia Michoacana and the Knights Templar, has shown that he has a very clear vision of the political and strategic use of the media and social networks. His criminal group is the only one, among those that exist in the country, which has in its structure a special area dedicated to implementing a communications policy to impact public opinion and the government.

During the administration of Fausto Vallejo, the leader of the Knights Templar held meetings with various officials, including the interim ex-gobernador, Jesus Reyna, and the son of the former governor, Rodrigo Vallejo Mora, who were recorded as being tied up and subject to his will.
So far, five recordings have been leaked that demonstrate the intimate links between organized crime and the political class of Michoacan, which, according to Father Gregorio Lopez, vicar of the cathedral of Apatzingán, is linked almost entirely to the Knights Templar.

In a society of images, broadcast video and photographs have become an important part of the strategy of any group that wants to impact public opinion, influence government decisions or strike back at the actions of their opponents. This is well understood by "La Tuta", who knew very well the value of the recordings of the meetings held with various players from Michoacan politics.

"Information is power", this is the starting point of "La Tuta's" strategy, who, in key moments, has dispersed video images or compromising photograph of meetings, such as the ones he had with Reyna and VallejoMora. In that sense, the video recently released by Reporte Indigo also stands out; it shows PAN deputies at a party with prostitutes, after an alleged meeting for legislative work, a party also attended by an alleged drug trafficker.

In 2015 there will be elections in Michoacan for the governorship, the local Congress and 113 municipal mayors, while, at the federal level, new members of the Chamber of Deputies will be elected. The spread of these videos with compromising pictures may be a foretaste of the foul play that different political groups will deploy in the campaigns to impact the image of their opponents.

But beyond this, and the media strategy of organized crime and political groups which these videos reflect, is the close link between these two groups, the political parties and criminal groups, that, as time passes, more and more meld together, integrating into one body a single power group that begins to govern some states such as Michoacán, Tamaulipas and some others that are about to enter this facet of co-government or of the capture of the State by drug traffickers

  1. You can't just fight the cartel.you have to fight the government. In the military they all ways say if you aid the enemy you are the enemy. And the government can't be more clear by arresting Dr.morales who's side there on.

  5. If anyone who is running, for any political position at any level n of government, does not agree with the local mafia boss or special interest groups, someone will simply show up at your door and "politely" ask you to withdraw or not to show up for elections. If you don't play by their rules you will simply disappear or your family members will suffer. This is the reality. And it's not only tied to drugs and cartels...its tied to the rich families at town levels and city levels as well as country levels. That's why there are absolutely no honest politicians in Mexico..because someone will simply not allow you to even participate. Mexico will never get rid of this problem even with civil war cause even if there is one, the leaders of that civil movement will simply replace the afore mentioned ruling parties. It's embedded in our blood and thats the truth. For each honest person there are 10 dishonest ones. Mexico is full of rotten apples and the rotten ones will always prevail over the good ones. Sorry if I offended anyone.

  7. How childish of you. So you won't investigate as to what this group is about? Your just gonna stereotype them cause they are a group of Mexicans with guns? This man Servando Tuta is not a cartel drug organization, he's not lord of the videos, he's another angry citizens of mexico that has a group of other Mexican citizens that know the government is corrup . so the templarios has ties to government officials so they officials won't have ties to actual cartels. You know the ones that actually have their business model to sell drugs. No borderland beat you are not doing journalism the correct way. Is this site ran by people who have absolutely have no grasp in the situation that's happening in mexico. All you see is gangs so you will paint all as gangs and you never speak on their side on the economic issues mexico has since it bows down to the united States. On why theirs no jobs because america owns most of mexicos income therefore the people have no jobs. And people like LA tuta, nazario, and Subcomandante Marcos all know what's going on and they work towards a better mexico. You borderland beat are just immature TMZ style investigators. Just looking at crust of the subject cause its interesting, and you never actually disect the subject as journalist do. Whos your source? Someone's delirious grandmother? How can you still sit their and claim this man is a cartel member when he's having meetings with politicians when he'd filming himself speaking to the public speaking to reporters. CRIMINALS DONT OPENLY TALK TO THE PUBLIC. Obviously he's not hiding, he's done nothing wrong but protect alongside his group, protect michoacan from and drug or kidnapping organization that want to cause harm inside michoacan. The gulf cartel is the same they are a group of united Mexicans with guns that fight of bad faction of capitalist. ITS A CAPITALIST VIOLENT FREE FOR ALL IN MEXICO AND THATS WHAT YOU AT BORDERLAND BEAT DONT SEEM TO UNDERSTAND

    2. Another dumb ass blaming everything on the USA.there no jobs because everyone with money is getting out so they don't get kidnapped. I was going to put in a go cart track in nuevo Laredo. But even if it did good and I made money I'm worried that the zetas would try to extort me.that's why there's no jobs.

    3. Coward there's no jobs because of ppl like you.

    4. 5:34pm even the lonely shoe shine guy gets extorted by cartel and he makes very little money. Why call someone a coward because he puts his families safety first over everything. God help those of you who think Tuta is some saint and the US is the devil. You are totally brain washed. But what do I know I only make $80k a year the legal way.

You sure they already supply most of meth in California because of a new alliance between the La eme and the CT, right now la tutas organization produce most of the meth in mexico thats why cartels like Menchos group are traditionaly meth producers but since tuta controls it he has to take out tuta thats the only reason the CJNG got into a war with tuta for controlling the meth production amd smuggling bot for the people thats all bullshit

  11. Unbelievable! This Bugs Bunny looking La Tuta the Fruitcake is still out and about? Someone, please put a shotgun in his mouth and pull the trigger. His time is a ticking away, only a matter of time know before the USA discloses the faggots location to the Marina's and our agents side by side for the takedown. Ask Chapo and Z40! Two more scumbags that never should have been taken alive but executed on sight like the silly wabbit La Tuta needs to be. I bet that fuck cant sleep at all. Always paranoid now and he keeps hearing foot steps. This coward won't fight when they have him surrounded, his yellow belly ass will be begging for his life! Coin toss.....heads a bullet through the head, tails slow dismemberment by chainsaw inch by inch while he is being doused with boiling water. Good night, good bye and good riddance for La Tuta and the sooner the better.

  13. 3:56 dear, honey, la puta tuta has said himsel on video that he IS a criminal, he taxes the government, and the workers, he steals orchards, mines, from mines, from miners, from farmers, his "people", a bunch of drug addicts, rape and kill at will, they can't be better than the zetas, who they kicked out of michoacan, la puta tuta is a crook ond a goon, his own kids engaged on extortion, kidnapping and drug dealing...
    --DR MIRELES, and his supporters, have been victims of the crimes and abuses of the ct and of la familia michoacana, and possibly of the zetas when they were there, his children study, go to school, he himself asked his father for authorization to join the AD, how about that, at over 50 years old,
    now that former AD members have jumped like chapulines for plata o plomo reasons, Dr Mireles has stayed the course...
    --so mister ct apologizer, don't waste your time trying to convince us of la puta tuta's innocence or his heroic deeds in the name of his comrades, to protect his people by murdering, robbing, kidnapping or extorting them, because it makes you look and smell like shit, la puta tuta shit!!!

  14. CHIVAAA! this is the guy who hates you and BB ( and us) so much?
    now i see why he was not posted, he is FULL of SHIT, i need to warn you chivism his complaints and condemnations were much more interesting than his thesis of a revolutionary tuta, which is just RIDICULOUS.
    --thanks for being there for us chivis, many people can't see it, but everything helps, even the laughs these clowns get from us, it is no sin to be biased for justice, for equality, for the law, except for some custon made laws that really suck...

  21. i remember when LAS TRUCHAS industrial project started, many mexican business geniuses criticized the pipe dreams of the daydreamers who started it, when it transformed into SICARTSA, and proved everybody wrong, the PRIvatization craze started, with politicians moving miners around from state to state, milking the mines all they could, leaving them without resources, until under salinas de gortari to calderon takeover of mining in mexico by the likes of arcelor-mittal, mexico makes no money off mining, and keeps no gold or silver from it, after 500+ of mining in mexico, mexico has no noble metals on its banks vaults, like any banana republic, --but it has "credits" that enable the country to get deeper in debt, and learned bitches will walk to hell and back touting the merits of such "credits".
    --president BENITO JUAREZ who did not study in harvard, but went to the US as a wet back to roll cigars, said "NO HIPOTECAR EL PAIS", what is there that is too hard to understand?
    --not for nothing Jesus whipped the money changers out of the temple, all the problems in the world are because one bank or another's greed, and the ambitions of their disciples.
    --la puta tuta is all about money, foreign and domestic...or both...
    --Dr Mireles is all about some little decency, for his people, and that is all the mystery there, what is so hard to understand?

  22. King Tuta-nkhamun has yet another new video out...this time telling two lady mayors what to do...the only surprise at this point, is that one of them isn't stroking his King Kong nuts under the table...maybe she is. i think the constant posting of these videos will hurt King Tuta-nkhamun more than any of the other cartels or ADs could hurt him....this constant battering of the government's image will force them cease to protecting him at the cost of the protecting their own interests (they can't save him if they can't save themselves)....unproven speculation of corruption all day long is one thing, but video proof can't be waved away so easily...if this don't get him, his resilience and hootzpah will start winning people over, he'll become a legend, all across Michoacan, people will forget Mireles and be chanting,

    "A la bim, a la bam, a la bim, bom, bam
    King Tuta-nkhamun
    Ra, ra, ra"

  23. There's a lot of propaganda on both sides, so it's hard to believe anything. One thing is obvious though, this La Tuta seems to understand the system and takes good advantage where he can. It's hard to blame him for doing that.

  25. 3:56 we hate la puta tuta mainly because he is UGLY, then because of his crimes, next, because he is a traitor to his own criminal peers.
    @10:47 while bill gates made his own fortune, and was smart from an early age, and knew enough of the law to secure his money and property, and send production "offshore", much of it to china, and too many other ands to mention, CARLOS SLIM HELU made his fortune from criminal associations with drug traffickers, criminal police corporations, political corruption financed by no other than himself, many times in partnership with other lebanese, jews and whoever wanted to work with his arab platform.
