U.S. State Department Issues Security Alert for Mexicali, Baja California

By "El Huaso" for Borderland Beat


Last night, the U.S. Department of State issued a security alert suspending U.S. Consulate operations and warning U.S. citizens of a potential threat in Mexicali, Baja California. The alert is likely related to a potential Los Rusos retaliatory attack against the Mexican government.

Following the U.S. alert, the Baja California government announced a special operation with the participation of all security agencies operating in the state. Increased patrols and static deployments were observed across the city.

Military units reported at the Civic Center of Mexicali

This morning, journalist Luis Chaparro reported that the DEA’s San Diego office intercepted communications in which Los Rusos members discussed plans to attack Municipal Police and FGR facilities in Mexicali. This reporting has not been confirmed publicly by authorities, but aligns with recent news coverage of Los Rusos retaliatory campaigns against police and threats against the FGR.

On August 25, Mexico's Security Ministry released a statement that they had not detected any threats. 


In June and July, several FESC officers were targeted and killed following their involvement in an operation that resulted in the death of a Los Rusos sicario, as reported by Borderland Beat. Over the last two weeks, Los Rusos have issued public threats against the state prosecutor’s office through narco-banners left alongside abandoned bodies, accusing the FGR of collaborating with their rivals the Arellano Félix Cartel. 

Given the prior Los Rusos retaliatory campaigns in the city, the intercepted phone call was probably assessed as being a credible threat to Mexican government offices.

It is unlikely that the alert reflects a threat specifically directed at U.S. government personnel or civilians. Earlier this month, the U.S. State Department issued a similar alert for Michoacán that explicitly referenced threats to “U.S. interests”. The absence of this phrase suggests the threat is not directed specifically at U.S. firms or citizens.

      Mexico overtook China as the U.S' largest trading partner and its GDP outranks a lot of European countries. More importantly, Mexico beats China, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe in the happiness index. Oh, and it doesn't have a $40 trillion deficit.

      Don't ever make sweeping absolutist claims like "nothing to show for it" because it immediately puts you in a doomed position of having to defend it when it's so easy to defeat.

  13. CAF has been pushing into territory but hasn’t taken nor claimed any from Los rusos , Rusos have more gunmen than CAF but I guess it shows the pressure that’s been put on them is starting to show. I don’t see why CAF won’t push for tecate & Rosarito more that would hurt the influence on Los rusos a lot more rather than sending commandos to Mexicali their strong hold but just throwing an opinion out there

  14. according to the Intelligence Authorization Act of 1999 House of Reps , The head of the Tijuana Cartel, Sicilia Falcone was a CIA Protege getting his drugs free from SETCO (Matta Ballesteros) Grossing 3.7m a week. He overthrew governments in Africa with a man named Joe Egozi and was rescued by DFS Nazar Haro during his torture confession . Also, Felix Gallardo was protected by the CIA from having 20m back account seized in LA in 1982.

    in 1982 Reagan fired AUSA William Kennedy in San Diego for disclosing that Nazar Haro was a "Highest level CIA agent in Latin America. The DOJ refused to fire William Kennedy, Reagan had to do it

    4. Matta Ballesteros /SETCO was approved by NHAO , with drugs trafficking in the computer, allowed to land on military bases, skipping customs. It is in a OIG report. pilots testified they landed on Bases . see case of Michael Tolliver. , The NHAO director complained in front of Congress , "Why did Oliver North order Rob Owen To issue NHAO (State Dept) licenses to SETCO. "What can he do that I can'T" WELL NOW you know the answer.

    6. This is how SETCO/MATTA BALLESTEROS got his government contract

      https://np.reddit.com/r/prisonabolition/comments/vvl1xr/oliver_norths_function_in_the_us_govt_described/

      This is a detailed description how Oliver North and Rob Owen hired drug dealing companies AFTER they had been indicted using a STATE DEPARTMENT office (NHAO) and paid for their services BY CHECK (Over $800,000) and THE FBI WENT ALONG WITH IT. The companies landed drug loads on military bases after bypassing customs inspections UNDER CLOAK OF NATIONAL SECURITY.

      https://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/ARCHIVE/KERRY.html

      The payments made by the State Department to these four companies between January and August 1986, were as follows:

      SETCO, for air transport service.......................$186,924.25

      DIACSA, for airplane engine parts........................41,120.90

      Frigorificos De Puntarenas, as a broker/supplier for various serv-

      ices to Contras on the Southern Front..................261,932.00

      VORTEX, for air transport services......................317,425.17

      Total [35] .............................................806,401.20

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Matta-Ballesteros

      For example, a 1983 Customs Investigative Report states that "SETCO stands for Services Ejectutivos Turistas Commander and is headed by Juan Ramon Mata Ballestros, a class I DEA violator." The same report states that according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, "SETCO aviation is a corporation formed by American businessmen who are dealing with Matta and are smuggling narcotics into the United States."[39] https://www.winterwatch.net/2022/01/cia-drug-smuggling-and-dealing-the-birth-of-the-dark-alliance/

      One of the companies (SETCO) was paid $182,000. The owner of SETCO was JUan Ramon Matta Ballesteros. Ballesteros was convicted along with the heads of the Guadalajara Cartel of kidnapping and killing DEA agent KIKI Camarena. SETCO had also supplied Tijuana Cartel drug lord SICILIA FALCON

      https://np.reddit.com/r/NarcoFootage/comments/m6nth0/sicilia_falcon_gross_revenue_37m_per_week_source/

      SICILIA FALCON, a Cuban, was arrested in 1975 and admitted that he was a CIA protege who had his drugs moved by the CIA in exchange for arming ANti-astro forces with guns.

      Matta Ballesteros Kidnapping conviction in the KIKI Camarena Case (Kidnapping charges) was overturned in 2018.



      Part of his legal appeal was that his actions were "Authorized by the CIA". The federal court denied his defense strategy, however Senator Kerry questioned witnesses at length about how he got a State Department contract while under indictment and why many of the company principles were offered help with their legal cases in exchange for aiding the contras.

    8. Impact of the Miami based Anti-Castro groups on drugs in the United States 1960's to today - Ex DEA agent Celerino Castillo III
      By the 1960s and 1970s, the anti- Castro movement in Florida had morphed into a massive drug operation: 80 percent of the heroin and cocaine being brought into the U.S. was controlled by anti-castro Cubans. Bay of pigs veterans accounted for 70 percent of those arrested out of 70 people in one drug ring in the early 1970s

      On June 1970, "OPERATION EAGLE", a federal strike force in 10 major cities around the country derailed one of the biggest hard-drug networks of all time. The organization was responsible for distributing 30 percent of all heroin sales and up to 80 percent of all cocaine in the Unites States. Approximately 70% of those arrested had once belonged to the Bay of Pigs invasion force. According to the New York Times, a Cuban exiles terrorist network known as "Operation 40" orchestrated this drug trafficking organization. Some members of this operation were identified as FELIX, Luis POSADA, Chi Chi QUINTERO and others.

      https://web.archive.org/web/20110930153346/http://www.powderburns.org/felix.html

      On Nov. 1, 1984, the FBI arrested FELIX partner, Gerard LATCHINIAN. LATCHINIAN was convicted of smuggling $10.3 million in cocaine into the United States. The dope was intended to finance the overthrow and murder of the President of HONDURAS. A year previous to the arrest, FELIX had filed the annual registration with Florida's secretary of state on behalf of LATCHINIAN and Rodriguez's enterprise, GIRO AVIATION CORP.

    11. Head of the NHAO testimony before congress about how Rob Owen Got his job and licensed SETCO/Matta

      Owen, in 1989 court testimony, admitted that "there was a possibility that I might have gone with the CIA on contract."

      But because Owen was a private citizen, Fernandez said, he couldn't legally send him out on intelligence-gathering missions. He could listen when Owen reported back but couldn't, in CIA jargon, "task" him. But that all changed once Owen began working for the NHAO, which probably explains North's insistence that Owen be hired. "When he did that, then we did have a much more operational relationship," Fernandez confirmed. "Because then he was a government employee, I did ask him to find out things."

      NHAO director Robert Duemling and his aides couldn't figure out why they needed to have Rob Owen around, and initially they rebuffed North's suggestions. "I certainly didn't see the necessity for a middleman," Duemling testified in a once-secret deposition to the Iran-Contra committees. But North kept pushing. Duemling said North had Contra leaders write letters demanding Owen's hiring, and he lobbied Duemling's superior at the State Department, Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams, a fervent Contra supporter. After one stormy meeting with North and Abrams, Duemling said, "Elliott Abrams turned to me and said, 'Well, Bob, I suppose you probably ought to hire Owen.' Well, in bureaucratic terms the jig was up, since I was the only person who was speaking out against this."

      Owen was given a $50,000 contract as a "facilitator," a job that mystified Duemling's aide, Chris Arcos. Arcos testified that no one was "sure what, in fact, Rob Owen could do or bring or offer to the office that we couldn't do. He didn't have much Spanish, he didn't have an expertise in medical or anything like that."






      The minutes of that November 1985 meeting show that for some reason, Abrams and North were extremely concerned about the fallout if someone discovered Owen's involvement with the NHAO, and they began working on a cover story to explain his presence there in case it leaked. "Abrams and North agreed that Owen will be expendable if he becomes a political or diplomatic liability," the minutes state. If that happened, Congress would be told that he was "an experiment that hadn't worked out."

      It was an experiment right out of Dr. Frankenstcin's lab.

      Rob Owen's mission was to serve as the CIA's unofficial liaison to the drug traffickers and other undesirables who were helping the Contras in Costa Rica, people who were too dirty for the CIA to deal with directly. Like North, he was another "cutout." "He probably had the most extensive network of contacts among the resistance leaders," CIA station chief Fernandez testified in 1987, "including people with whom we did not want to have contact with and who, however, were involved with the Nicaraguan resistance."
