update and correction of manta text
Violence
erupted in the city of Acuña, Coahuila yesterday. People near the scene report the shootout that began at 5:15 AM soldiers
were clashing with organized crime gunmen.
Ciudad Acuña lies back to back with the Texas border city of Del Rio.
In the early
morning hours a military convoy was patrolling the southern outskirt of the
city, when a white Dodge Durango carrying armed gunmen was spotted by
soldiers. Attempts to pull over the
Durango failed ensuing in a chase through the San Antonio Colonia and ending at
Lazaro Cardenas.
The gunmen
then initiated a shootout which commenced at the intersections of 20 of
November and Alvaro Obregon streets and continued for 90 minutes.
Five were
killed in the shootout and one injured, four gunmen died at the scene a fifth
subsequently died of his injuries at the IMSS hospital in Acuña.
One soldier was seriously injured in the
conflict and was transferred to the larger city of Piedras Negras via
helicopter. Piedras Negras is 80 miles
east and is adjacent to Eagle Pass Texas.
Los Zetas cartel are in control of the Ciudad Acuña plaza.
and Texcoco for new photos
Meanwhile, also in Acuna, a perplexing and ominous
manta (banner) appeared on the pedestrian bridge of Emilio Mendoza Cisneros
which directed to a "Jesus" secretary of public safety.
Strange is why the manta, which address Zacatecas
issues, were hanged in Acuna. I was able to get a clear view of the text and the Jesus referred to in the manta is secretary Jesus Pinto Ortiz.
The banner includes the photographs of three
unidentified people, but one I have identified as the secretary. I have placed notes in quotation marks to try and give clarity to the confusing text. (Pinto Ortiz is in the photo below)
The message reads:
“You took the war to Zacatecas [ I believe this
refers to the City of Zacatecas]. [but]The
war was against the State,[ now referring to the state].
You brag about being
the one who decides the direction of the war and took it to Zacatecas. lying and supporting golfos of the State, because they declared it themselves
and there is proof about it; we’ll see how you answer the citizens for the
consequences; deputy, afterwards don’t ask about why we don’t rob or kidnap, we
have rules and we work in our thing [meaning drug trafficking etc but not
kidnapping or rob].
The photos are of the people guilty of stealing and
kidnapping. (other mantas say the photos are managers/whores you have chosen)
Attentively, The Letter”

Thank you to TexPat and friends in Acuña and Texcoco for new photos

Thanks for the post Chivis. Figured it was just a matter of time till Acuna became more like Piedras with the shoot outs. Hope not, but time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI hope not either. sorry for the delay, I was waiting for fotos yesterday and then was not able to get back to the post :(
ReplyDeleteAcuña has experienced heighten violence since last summer. The problem is that little of it is reported in the media. If national publications get the story than it is.
I have told the story that illustrates this. When Lalo was murdered, 4 men were killed and thrown into Rio Bravo/Grande, one survived by playing dead and managed to get to the Del Rio side where BP picked him up and took him to the hospital.
Nothing was ever mentioned in the Mexican press, and a small reference to it within another article was in the DR Herald. That is how it is.
If not for friends and a reader Named TexPat I would not know what is REALLY going on there. The regional media, municipal police and municipal government are all sleeping with the enemy.....Paz, Chivis

ReplyDeletechivis i have fam there i talked,with them an told me there was onother shoot out today plus they are putting narco banners in the whole city its zetas,crying because coauhuila is letting cdg work
ReplyDeleteIts sad, all of my family is about to be on their way down their to bury my tia, and it worries me what awaits them.
ReplyDeletei was going to acuna today or tommorow fuck that ill just stay here in san antonio until it cools down. I dont want to mess with the solados they proably have every thing lock down
ReplyDeleteSo what is going on? Is CDG moving in on the plaza? Who is putting up the narcomantas? That last one was really confusing.
ReplyDeleteRip Sergio
ReplyDeleteI'm ok thank you
DeleteAte: Twister
very interesting article.....keep it up Chivis.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is police, government and military operating as one. When "outsiders" arrive, they often let their guard down and end up dead. So, tell us something more.
ReplyDeletezetas are,still trying to stay in acuna but cdg is now here
ReplyDeleteZetas have controlled the plaza since the split. Chapos have been lurking for months and making a play for the plaza for years, on and off. CDG could not get it without help and Chapo wants it for himself.
ReplyDeleteI was able to make the foto much clearer to read the top lines better and made the correction and also have posted a photo of the Jesus.
At 2:46...is there any chance you have a photo of the mantas? or is it the ones I wrote about?
To San Antonio..I hate to say stay away because in large part it is safe but it has had sporadic violence that is becoming ongoing and less time in between. and when its bad, its very bad. So it is your call.
@2:06P.M.
ReplyDeleteChivis, I believe the Mexican press to be fearful, the DR Herald to be cautious about reporting only what can be verified, and even then erring on the side of caution as the former Mayor of Acuna was gunned down in his own driveway in Del Rio a few years back. As far as municipal police in Acuna, it was my understanding that they are no more after the military took over.
@2:46P.M.
Anon. Please keep us posted on what you hear from your family. May they stay safe!
Zetas have the plaza and have had it since the split. True Chapos are present as I have been writing for months...ditto in PN.
ReplyDeleteAbout the shootout today, can you get more specific, like where in acuna and time?
I tried to make to mantas have some clarity and worked hard on the text, these mantas are brutal to translate. I had to go off the photo, but there are others in zaca zac, Alvarado and Cordoba similar but a bit different. I will try and get them up later.
I am not 100% on the meaning but still trying and it is still bizarre why they are in Acuna....
Chivis you are a true patriot of Mexico. May God protect and guide you. We need more mexicans to stand and represent the best of what Mexicans are really like.
ReplyDelete@6:30
ReplyDeleteDR Herald has nothing to fear, but if they are that weak they can pass info to Houston, SA or wherever.
Same with the people of Mexico and Acuna. No more excuses, if you have info send it to BB. MANY main stream media sources read BB including the US government and republish or link to us. do a search in Wikipedia and see how many have used our info as resource, also authors like Grayson. We get many views, if you saw my top 20 for 2012 those 20, not including the notables I added,,,just the 20 had 1.6 Million views!
You seem very nice by your words, but Mexico must stop making excuses that they can't because fearing reprisal. This is anonymous and can be sent to any US media or BB reporting information....and be perfectly safe.
that is what citizens can do. no more excuses. Superman is not going to arrive in Mexico.
Good morning Chivis. I am so awestruck by your post here, I had to comment. Every word showed your honesty, passion and true commitment to your country. BRAVO!! No words could be more true than yours about SUPERMAN. Anyone who does not see that, needs to confront their own fears and do whatever it takes to resolve it. I myself, had to do exactly the same thing and it is difficult but possible. My own country, Italy,is a lesson in "WHAT TO NOT DO." Superman still hasn't shown up. It breaks my heart daily for all the innocents involved in this WAR IN MEXICO. THERE STILL IS HOPE WITHIN ME THOUGH. With people like yourself and all those at BB, who work daily to educate all of us, to show us a way to help and inspire us into ACTION... THERE IS HOPE. May God bless and keep you Chivas safe, as well as all at BB. My heartfelt thanks, Texas Grandma. :)
DeleteTambien en piedras estaban estas manta's en el dia de hot y disen lo mismo! !
ReplyDeleteHey chivis I am a bb reader. I want to say thank you for your work I really apreciate it. And I wantto ask you something could you please get any info about cjng in michoacan whether they are trying to take over or not thank. Atentamente. Mexican curious
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the info.i found bb by pure accident as i am technically challenged and hit a wrong key on my smartphone and wound up on your site but glad i did now i read it daily cause you do not get this information in the american press much if at all and the cartels are in our country too just not as open about it as they are in mexico
ReplyDeleteGood article Buela, as always the way this people expressed themselves on narco banners is so confusing, and difficult to understand. Here I will leave my translation of the narco banner.
ReplyDelete"Secretary Jesus Spotted Ass, the war was not against the state but you brag it is you the one who decide the direction of the war and you decided to take golfas to the state of Zacatecas (golfas have said that themselves and we have evidence of that) so now we will see what respond you will give to the public about the consequences!! DEPUTIES Later on not ask Why things are happening? We don't steal nor kidnap We have rules and we are dedicated only to our business. The photos are from those responsible for the theft, stealing and kidnapping with support from Jesús Pinto Ortiz Secretary of Public Safety. ATTE the letter. "
chivis there was confrontation's last week in piedras negras cant figure out why it didnt make the new's there was also death's which makes it even more wierd why you havent heard anythin.
ReplyDeleteThe Andreades are response for the meany things that rare taking place in Acuna. I hope the Navey get those ass hols and put Acuna back to what little peac they had. keep it up chivis for the good news and the good work that u are doing.
ReplyDeleteJajajajaj chivis always trying to convince everyone that El Chapo is trying to take Acuña....Chivis, what is your proof of this statement? I disagree because if el Chapo wanted it and was fighting for it, we would know! And there would not be any doubt.....it's just usual CDG vs Z
ReplyDelete@6::26 "Former Mayor of acuna gunned down in del Rio?" You dont know what you are talking about, Mario Lobato was a regidor not a mayor, it is not the same thing by a far shot. Really sucks that people dont fact check before posting, just spreadig more ignorance and desgracing this site. He served as:"comandante de la Policía Judicial Federal, presidente de la CANACO de Acuña, miembro de la Asociación de Maquiladoras y durante el año pasado y este segundo, se desempeñó como el regidor en el republicano ayuntamiento del municipio de Acuña, Coahuila"
ReplyDelete@6:50AM
ReplyDeleteYou silly immature poster. If a question is asked of me and I don't know I will not post an answer, if I do, and I am sure I will post, if I think it is correct but not completely sure I will say just that.
You don't know me, you don't know who I know, and you don't know what I have witnessed first hand. I will say I was in Acuña the last time Chapos were there. Then CDG was sent to watch and feed info back. CDG is very stupid and with their infighting they are doomed, but chapo is very smart he saw benefit...100% for him in an alliance with CDG to have them conduct his low level work in NE Mex.
at the end of the day, Chapo will break with them when he no longer needs them. Chapos have been in PN and Acuna for at least 7 months.
People can believe YOU or they can believe ME. It is their choice.
When I get info from people on the ground, I collaborate and verify before passing it on. For example Isidro living in Mty. I was not believing that in the beginning and asked for additional info and got it. I posted it on Jan 20. The next day Proceso wrote about it as fact, and yesterday so to did Insight Crime.
With me there is a history of writing and I have been seldom wrong, could I be wrong here? Sure, a part of me still has doubts about isidro in mty....as for chapos thugs,
there is no doubt.
thanks Texcoco! I was wiped out last night and could not tackle the other mantas. So Weird, but they were posted everywhere from Jalisco to Tamps...but WHY????
ReplyDeleteabout the question of CNJG funny I was just wondering the same thing. Too quiet, I no longer have sources there, I have relatives of sources but news is sporadic.
any one in Michoacán that can give us good info please send it in you can email me to the email in the list of reporters or:
laverdad_52@yahoo.com.mx
chivis forget those little virtual narcos busting your balls while still living with mommy. I live Acuña now for 8 years with my wife and our child. Her brother and a couple of cousins are letra. you know what you are talking about. cdg is here for chapo they just tanto tonto to know it. 'chapos' here since summer. it is hard to take the plaza as letra is deep in the city from city hall to the press. everyone works for same element, letra, maybe not with a smile or choice but it is fact.
ReplyDeleteHahahah so forget the other "virtual narcos" but we should listen to you because your mother brother cousins and everyone else besides you, are with Z? Hahaha so basically your so stupid you don't realize your claiming to be the same thing...a "virtual narco"
DeleteChivis whats CT up too have not herd abut them
ReplyDeleteque chingen su madre los de la letra
ReplyDelete"narco banners in the whole city its zetas,crying because coauhuila is letting cdg work"
ReplyDeleteStraight to the point,the Z are whining cause they let CDG/CDS company in,
"its your fault if the kidnapping and robberies go up,we only slang our shit we don't bother no-one"Feel so sorry for the Z,,not
@8:17 a.m. I apologize for my mistake in misidentifying Mario Lobato's position in Acuna. It was not my intent to disgrace this site in any way.
ReplyDelete@8:32 p.m. Chivis, I do get your point. And you are right of course.
Chivis: Only idiots question your knowledge, the rest come here searching for it. Please continue the amazing work, it looks like it's been paying off with more and more exposure (1.6 Million views for top 20, WOW!) This information needs to get out and BB brings it to those that don't have the resources to find on our own.

ReplyDeleteyou must be the same virtual narco because you have the same random comment. assumption. I am not a narco virtual or otherwise. you obviously are in the states because those living here know it is impossible not to have family, neighbor or friends doing narco work. I gave my view from what I know, take it or leave it, it doesn't matter to me.
I agree, those who live here know. I too have family, neighbors and friends involved.....some talk others don't. But that is how I base my info too.
DeleteThere gonna take our right two bear arms people we are doomed!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeleteOnly idiots question your knowledge, the rest come here searching for it.I know all i need to know from reading the posts you put out and believe you implicitly,you are the font of all worldly wisdom and i for one will always have your back.Straight tawk homie.I always wondered about this thing of ours,i personally believe time will tell.Wow,does it disseminate,when i pull on it,may we all have peace sometime in the millennium.

Just goes to show how greedy that slime bag Chapo is....he's already moving heavy weight through Juarez and Tijuana....isnt that enough!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd more than likely through Matamoros as well. hope el H and the Zetas kills his Greedy fat ass.
@11:57am dude is it true bout what the Zetas Manta says bout not stealing or kidnapping? and do they extort businesses in your area?
ReplyDeleteThe z extort in acuna...charged a local bar 5000 pesos each month
Deletei'm guessing somehow these three sluts may turn up somewhere all fucked up lying face down in the sun...
ReplyDeleteso,I have a few questions for some of you people in mexico: is the narco trade the #1 employer in mexico right now? i mean, since they are diversifying into other areas of the black markets, i guess that would need a large work force. if you are brought into the fold of a cartel, are you automatically made to do some dirt to use against you as leverage, to coerce you into proving your loyalty, or is that just a myth.. also people of mexico. I have been reading about some small groups of U.S forces in some capacity with your police or marines, get some pictures of that shit!!!...

ReplyDeleteSee them zzz's don't kidnap... gobierno working for chapo does tho, then turns and blames la ultima letra... greedy fuckin chapo going to war and wanting it all
ReplyDelete10:48 pm. DID YOU REALLY JUST SAY" GREEDY FUCKIN CHAPO GOING TO WAR AND WANTING IT ALL???". Yet another CRAZY FREAKING CARTEL CHEERLEADER. So, it's just wonderful to SELL POISON as long as you don't get GREEDY OR START A FREAKING WAR??? There are days like this when delusional SCUM like you make me physically ill. I hope KARMA AND GOD get to your crazy ass soon. On behalf of the non-cartel cheerleading non-psychos out here... REST IN HELL. And, God bless the innocents you encounter daily. Till next time, thanks, Texas Grandma.
DeleteWhat she said
Deleteso where do these bendekosget their big assed mantas made?? or do they own the vinyl cutting machines so they can make all these banners themselves?? if the cops wanted to find these assholes they could stake out printshops or the places that sell the supplies that they use. it would be so easy, if the policias wanted to figure it out....there is a saying that an old mexican friend of mine always said, if you want to do something, then you are going to do it, it's no problem. you just do it...
ReplyDeleteit was zetas thath had escaped from prison the,assholes that died in acuna i guess justice had been made,lol
ReplyDeleteU go BB,steadily rising. Viva bb.
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason z40 had lazca eliminated.
ReplyDeleteLazca was the extortion guy and was putting too much heat on z40 and the drug trafficking side.

ReplyDeleteOk guys the mantas refer to el secretario de seguridad publica de zacatecas they're saying that he let the chapos and golfos into zacatecas. They're crying because cds y cdg are taking over zacatecas which is good no body likes the z I heard even people are helping cds y cds. The z say that they Don kidnap steal or extortion people which is not true because them bastards are the ones that started all that
ReplyDeleteR.I.P COCO; SERGIO
Delete@1048 HA! Holy shit I didn't realize non psychopathic types went around ranting and raving, wishing evil on others... I thank you for those evil wishes and I truly appreciate them; I have been through worse. Maybe you got so excited when you read my post that you don't realize I was referring to the fact that Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo devised a plan that, had it been followed, Mexico would still be a peaceful place, albeit a narco state, peaceful, which for me and my family's sake, and millions of other mexicans, would be something positive. I wont explain how this ties into the article, or how the complete eradication of mexican narcotics trade is damn near impossible, as I do not care to waste my time with you further. I hope you realize that el PRI, for the better part of a century, helped Mexico achieve narco state status. Again, not my fault. I do however, find it fascinating. Dope flows from Mexico into the veins of the US, that is a fact. I simply made a statement; cheerleading goes more along the lines of "Aqui rifa el chapo, putos!" Or "Zetas controlando cabrones, salganle al toro!" Shit like that. I didn't say that you silly, silly person. Not all of us here are stupid fucks, incapabale of replying. I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you. My opinion is that you are the most naive, ignorant grandma I have ever come across. 99.9% of grandma's are wise beyond decades, and of sage status. You however are an exception to this stereotype; go jump down someone else's throat.
ReplyDeleteA true Texan
@5:34 AM Jan 23, why do you say the Andrades are responsible for the recent rare events in acuña lately? They are just narcos that work for the zetas, they do not fight cartels or soldiers. Just curious because I work out in their gym but if they are starting shit then i better stop going. I was just there this evening but didn't notice any changes. Have been going there for almost a year now.
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace Sergio Magdaleno
ReplyDelete@9:07am LOL....no im not takin him seriously.

ReplyDeleteYou sound like a really nice person wishing shit like that on people?You are talking as though he is one of the people who is going out and killing people,you sound crazy?
I thought you the very nice grandma who wants to save the world and your wishing people to get murdered and wishing people in hell?What was so bad that he said?You sound a little hysterical old girl,you want to tone it down a bit before you have a coronary.I knew you were a phony from your previous writings,there are quite a few phonys on here,you should have a lot in common

ReplyDeleteDude,i keep hearing about this Reynosa,whats the score,a loony tune?
Wow i ran into this site on accident. But u ppl no matter what side u r on or acting like u r on- this shit is bad i am in the middle of usa in kansas. Everybody involved is a human bein and sergio was the son of an innocent woman and brother of a little girl and daddy of innocent little kids who only identified him by a tatoo because he was brutally killed by the feds in this incident. Not saying he was innocent but he was human and loved by people who are suffering right now. He was brought to ks illegally when he was a very small child and was raised well this wss all he knew until he was deported a couple yts ago. His family is all still hete in ks snd he was thrown back to mexico alone even tho it wasnt his fault he was illegal. He got caught up and made very bad decisions and look what happened.. he paid with his life. I hope u take a min to think about all the trash talk and know there are innocent victims connected to every tragedy. And maybe one wanna be drug lord or zeta or azteca will realize its not worth all this pain and turn themself around before its too late to turn back
