The Fake Peace of Michoacan

Translated by Chuck B Alamada for Borderland Beat from a Proceso article

Written by Jose Gil Olmos (Proceso)
Thursday, 14 September, 2016

MEXICO CITY- Once again, organized crime continues to dominate in Michoacan despite the siren’s call by president Enrique Peña Nieto and the government of Silvano Auereoles (PRD political party) with the arrest of Servando Gomez La Tuta, leader of Los Caballero Templarios. It was all a lie since there was an agreement under the table between both governments (Federal and State governments) with the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG) and other local narco groups disguised as autodefensas which again, have been empowered with weapons and terror.

The official lie begins with the then Peace Commissioner of Michoacan, Alfredo Castillo, acting on behalf of President Peña Nieto with the purpose of taking back territory away from the Caballeros Templarios via the autodefensas of Tierra Caliente. Autodefensa groups became the combat weapon, especially with all those autodefensa members that had deserted from the Caballeros Templarios and became known as the “arrepentidos” (the regretful ones) which were under the command of the brothers Uriel and Juan Jose Farias Alvarez AKA El Abuelo, both linked to CJNG.

 These two brothers are key to understanding the dark pacts of Peña Nieto with the CJNG which again have Michoacan in their hands and continue to cause suffering, violence, and terror with executions, extortions, and the trafficking of drugs, especially of meth which is shipped to the US from the Lazaro Cardenas Port. However, for this story, it is important to also notate the presence of another character that is also key. Colombian General Oscar Naranjo Trujillo, who made a pact with the Farias brothers and helped form the autodefensas of Michoacan as groups with paramilitary tactics with weapons and money from the federal government.

From February 24, 2013 when the first autodefensa groups emerged in the region of Tierra Caliente, Michoacan, there were several suspicions regarding their origin and financial backing. At the moment, the government of then Governor Fausto Vallejo accused them of being backed by CJNG and labeled them as criminals. The Caballeros Templarios through mantas (banners) and videos from La Tuta also accused the autodefensas of being backed by CJNG. The greatest suspicion was that they were backed by the Mexican military and by Peñas government that provided weapons, protections, and money to support the thousands of members that had joined as the months went by.

 Such suspicion was corroborated by the former mayor of Tepalcatepec municipality, Guillermo Valencia, who confirmed that Colombian General Oscar Naranjo Trujillo, on November of 2012 was in that municipality and also in la Ruana (the two towns where the autodefensas of Michoacan were born) and that he met with the Farias brothers. Colmbian General Naranjo was an advisor on the subject of national security for President Peña Nieto from June 14, 2012 when he was still the presidential candidate. The General kept a low profile during the two years where he was an advisor to Peña Nieto. It was wise for him to keep a low profile as he was accused of being behind the paramilitary groups in Colombia during the 90’s when he was chief of the national police and considered “the best police officer in the world.”

However, the presence of General Naranjo did not go unnoticed to Los Caballeros Templarios. On November 8, 2013, in 8 municipalities, including Morelia, banners and flyers from this group appeared accusing the Colombian General of being behind the autodefensa groups of Michoacan, at the expense of the federal government. This is how, under the real command of the Farias brothers who were linked to CJNG and with the blessing of the federal government, the autodefensas were able to have an organizational structure headed by the General Counsel (Consejo General)-composed of 37 commanders that represented each zone or territory won. Doctor Jose Manuel Mireles was among that high command and he would go on to become the spokesperson for the entire movement; a position that would subsequently cause problems with Jose Manuel Farias AKA el Abuelo.

Doctor Mireles was the only person within the autodefensas that defended the original idea of becoming a protector of the people. It was for that reason that he refused to put down his weapons or becoming a fuerza rural. This caused him to become an obstacle to the government and was subsequently arrested under fabricated charges.

In just a few months after the birth of the autodefensas, they were able to have fifteen thousand fighters in different places and were able to accomplish within one year what former Mexican President, Felipe Calderon was not able to: liberate and take back the territories in Michoacan that had been dominated by organized crime for 12 years; break the link that the Caballeros Templarios had with the government of Fausto Vallejo; disarticulate the leadership structure that imposed tax laws and extortions to business owners, entrepreneurs, professionals, farmers, and Chinese miners; and put an end to the co-government (politicians and organized crime) that existed in most of the 113 municipalities.

Once mission accomplished, on January 26, 2014, General Oscar Naranjo resigned and returned to Colombia where he joined the administration of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos. Alfredo Castillo (the peace commissioner) also resigned and Peña made him the sports commissioner. While the autodefensas in Michoacan became Fuerza Rural and while many others joined the ranks of the new criminal group in Michoacan, CJNG that had pacted with the government of Enrique Peña Nieto and has now positioned itself as the most powerful cartel in Mexico today and one of the most important in the world of drugs.

    1. 7:25 I was one of the first to see las patotas de Oscar Naranjas in mexico, in the name AutoDefensas, later in the patterns of planning and attacks on the people, on the treason against epn former buddies ct and on the attacks against Dr Mireles for refusing to kiss alfredo castillos de kagada's shitty ass.
      Later, colombian hackers were singing about how they helped epn steal votes too, the whole shebangs imported from colombia's #1 mañoso, alvaro uribe velez, and his #1 fan boy helper, his minister of defense, juan manuel santos, better known in cuba for his name of "santiago" since he was wearing the mask of a young communist revolucionario when he went to confer with fidel castro, there are photos...

    2. You are a pendejo. Your comment makes no sense. Did you understand what the article says? You are putting the blame on all the beautiful people of one of the greatest states in Mexico when in fact the article clearly says the government initiated the auto defensa movement to get rid of the CT. The poor Dr was in a loose loose situation. There are videos of him clearly saying that the ADs were not going to tolerate any organized crime but el Abuelo had a different plan

    3. @7:51...you substitute the "I" and "e" with a 1 and 3 to imply 13 or surenos. You got alot of nerve talking shit about michoacanos messing a place up you dirty lil graffiti tagging mugroso.

    6. Chivas its H3 not CT Mencho and his croonies still haven't bien able to get the part of Michoacan that he really wants because the people there are the same people that kicked him and Los cunnis out of Michoacana. People here in the states are even heading down there to help them fight Mencho and his croonies what happened in La Mira is just an example they already kicked Menchos people out of Lazaro Cardenas they have them on the outskirts of the city as I speak.

      Delete
    7. 10:08 no it is CT reorganizing. H3 and viagras work with mencho. People are trying to confuse the situation but it is CT gaining strength and causing havoc.

      Mencho has exponentially gained ground and overtaken all target areas. It sounds like you are in support of CT and that is sad, remember how it was in Mich over a decade ago?

      Help fight Mencho...good luck with that one. you should get your ass down there and help keep innocents safe as in Cheran. not fight anyone unless is that last resort. and don't name the enemy as this or that, ALL are the enemy that kill, rape, kidnap extort innocents. the fight should be good vs evil. the fight should be against all evil the malevolent 2%

Of course, mexico is not going to kill to get rid of 10% of its population, it would only be about 10 200 000 criminals that have murdered about one million people all over mexico since the 68 revolution of the mexican government against the people was started by the US for all the marbles...

  3. I respect the hell out of Jose Gil Olmos. He stayed shoulder to shoulder with the truth

    "Doctor Mireles was the only person within the autodefensas that defended the original idea of becoming a protector of the people. It was for that reason that he refused to put down his weapons or becoming a fuerza rural. This caused him to become an obstacle to the government and was subsequently arrested under fabricated charges."

    When Anabel Hernandez joined Proceso she and Proceso conspired to spread bullshit about Doc Mireles. Her and her "documented proof" that no one else is allowed to see.

    One headline broke his heart and he said he would do no more interviews with Proceso. the headline translated insinuated Doc M was prepared to "give them war if they want war" meaning the government. He was stunned. He has never proposed that and knows the only lasting solution has to be in conjunction with the government on some level.

    as for Hernandez, he asked me, with frustration and sadness in his voice, "WHo is this Anabel Hernandez?" "I do not know her and have never spoken to her" he meant that she never once tried to reach out to him to discuss himself, his background, his hope and goal for the people of Michoacan.

    He always made himself available to reporters, from the high profile noticias biggie to the little narco blogger, yours truly.

    1. No not new, there are a few brave reporters that take the risk and it depends where they are. regional reporters are in greater danger than a reporter who remotely writes for mainstream media such as DF.

      I sent you an email just now! to the outlook addy.

      and lastly, foreigners including canadians can get a mortgage in the US...they pay 1.5 to 2% higher inters, and must provide way more docs and take a liitle longer. having a SS# helps to expedite the process. or by using one of the canadian bank branches in the U.S. and yes foreclosures can be filed in civil court by no U.S. citizens that own property. you mentions the houses being"much cheaper in the states" that was when the bottom fell out of the market a few years back ...canada was not hit by the recession and had stable prices. but they are much higher now. for example similar houses in Houston and Toronto are priced 45-50% higher in Houston. Location is a huge factor. I sold multiple homes last year. two similar homes, two different states. One sold at 92 per sq ft, the other 760 per sq ft.

    1. I remember going to Michoacan when I was young in the late 80s early 90's and seeing all the narcos in their new trucks sporting big gold chains. There were disputes and killings among themselves but they left the people alone. Narcos were not feared some actually helped out poor people in their communities.

  8. Wow, that sums up all the confusion. The reporter did his research and put all the peaces to the puzzle, that's why the fake autodefensas/cjng/viagras are so strong. The government had a Colombian general actually go to michoacan and set the autodefensas up with local drug cartels and government and gave them guns. That goes to show that michoacan is one of the most important plazas if not the most important. No wonder Dr. Mirales is still in prison, he was against the government. Sad to say but the real autodefensas have no chance at all but at least they can protect their communities until the rurales go to attack them. The rurales are basicly viagras in uniforms with the license to kill. Real spit

  13. The people extorting in Michoacán a few years ago were NOT Caballeros Templarios. They were outsiders including but not limited to Salvadorians, jalisciences, colimenses, & hondurans who said they were CT to scare the people into giving them money. Some of them were cjng members heating up the plazas. I'm not defending the CT but it's the truth. CT didn't have to extort, they trafficked crystal meth, heroin, cocaine & small amounts of marijuana. I know this because I was a CT associate.
