“We are going to take care of the information of the Navy Secretariat & the Defense Secretariat, because we are being an object espionage by the Pentagon, & many media outlets in Mexico are leaking information given to them by the DEA (US Drug Enforcement Administration),”
-AMLO- Image
AMLO, raised the issue a day after denouncing a DEA operation to infiltrate the Sinaloa cartel without authorization from the Mexican government, as “abusive, arrogant interference.” laprensalatina.com/mexican-presid…

NEW INVESTIGATION: recent Mexican #Pegasus spyware abuses led us to evidence of a trio of zero-click exploits used by #NSO.

Targets? HomeKit & FindMy.

Remarkably, #Apple's #iOS #LockdownMode blocked one of them.

Quick THREAD 1/
citizenlab.ca/2023/04/nso-gr… Image
2/ First, the new victims: Mexican lawyers representing families of victims of Military abuses

The timing of the targeting matches key developments in efforts to hold #Mexico's army responsible.

It's really bad.

We @citizenlab forensically confirmed the spyware infections. One infected device belongs...ImageImage
3/ We found evidence of 3 #zeroclick #0day chains used by NSO's #Pegasus #spyware in 2022.

First: #PWNYOURHOME: worked against #homekit even if you didn't set up a home.

Apple's changes in iOS 16.3.1 that address.

#LockdownMode also kneecaps it. ImageImageImageImage

1/10 Time to settle down, class. Today's topic is economic disinformation, the use of economic methods to present false claims as data-driven "facts." Today's case: @stuartsmyth66's claim of huge economic losses from #Mexico's restrictions on #GMO corn imports. Image
The Feb 2022 paper models economic costs to #Mexican producers and processors. In economic modeling, the results are often driven by the modelers' assumptions, not the model or data.
Assumption #1: The ban will shut off yellow corn imports in 2024. Nope. farmprogress.com/marketing/mexi…
So, not until 2025, and then maybe phased in. For @stuartsmyth66 an immediate, total ban adds to damage estimates. So too Assumption #2: #Mexico will be cut off from US feed corn with no alternative sources. But no: non-gmoreport.com/articles/mexic…

🇲🇽🔥 #Mexico: Confirmed 10 mexican military dead and 35 injured.19 cartel sicarios dead, by army chief Luis Sandoval.

Real numbers could be way much higher.
🔞🇲🇽 Official data on those killed during the confrontation between #Mexican government forces and Los Chapitos do not inspire confidence.

According to some sources, the corpses of #LosChapitos militants were filmed in the Sinaloa morgue #cartels #Mexico
#Mexico 🇲🇽: Members of the #Sinaloa Cartel recorded a new video during their watch in #Culiacán.

The cartel members in the video are seemingly armed with two uncommon FN SCAR 20S rifles —which are very likely sourced from civilian markets in #USA 🇺🇸.

Today I learned I am being #racially #profiled by my university @etsu. they saw I am shipping boxes from California and without asking me assumed the #mexican must be shipping drugs. They are questioning all my students and opening an investigation. This is surreal. @ETSUnews
Thank you all for all your support. I never thought something like this could happen. This is a very difficult time for my family, my students and myself. Please RT if you feel like it. I don’t want this to happen to anyone else.
I want to again thank everyone for all your support during this difficult time. While the univ @etsu leaders are still yet to acknowledge the pain that my students, family and myself went through, they closed the investigation. Of course they had no evidence. Thank you all.

1. A look at local numbers reveals the breadth of #MORENA's victory in last Sunday's #Mexican midterms. Of the 19 state legislatures won, in 5 of them it swept *every single seat*; in 7 more it won between 70-80%.
2. These super-majorities will give #MORENA the power to amend state constitutions, enshrining labor, women's & social rights. As most crimes are state level, it'll also allow legislatures to pass amnesty measures for non-violent "offenses" such as drug possession and abortion.
3. In 2019, the #MORENA-majority legislature in #Oaxaca surprised the nation by legalizing abortion. With the party now set to govern 19 states, it can take the lead on key issues at the state level, pushing the federal party to act where it won't alone.

After suffering through various forms of fraud in election after election, #Mexican voters are fighting back: here, in Nacozari de García, Sonora, citizens stopped municipal employees from the conservative PAN from attempting to buy votes with foodstuffs.

Unfortunately, in other parts of the country, these practices continue unabated.

Here, Cándido Coheto, legislative candidate for the #PRI-#PAN coalition in Villa Alta, #Oaxaca, demands a helicopter come to deliver money to buy votes or "we're screwed."

Still in #Oaxaca, a truck and warehouse were discovered with more foodstuffs allegedly for vote-buying by the #PRI in the Colonia Jardín neighborhood.

While thousands of #Mexican poor languish in prisons for months or years before ever getting to a trial, a judge in #Tamaulipas grants Governor Francisco García Cabeza de Vaca an injunction against the federal arrest warrant out for him.

Justice for sale.
jornada.com.mx/notas/2021/05/…
Cabeza de Vaca, of the conservative #PAN party, is accused of some $6.5 million pesos' worth of fraud and diversion of resources, purportedly used to rack up a series of luxury properties. He is also suspected of ties with the Sinaloa Cartel.

infobae.com/america/mexico…
The Federal Congress stripped him of his political immunity in order to clear the way for a trial. But the state legislature in Tamaulipas has refused to recognize the order and is protecting him, even sending armed vehicles to guard his residence.

1️⃣ #Unit400 is the special forces unit of the #QudsForce, focused on planning and conducting attacks outside #Iran. Within this remit, it also takes responsibility for transferring #military aid to terror and #guerrilla organisations around the world...
2️⃣ and coordinating their activities in order to prepare them to carry out attacks that serve the interests of the Iranian regime...

The HQ of #QudsForce's #Unit400 is in southeast #Tehran (Iran) The office run by the unit commander, Hamed Abdallahi.
3️⃣ Both the #IRGC and #QudsForce have been secretive and #Iran keeps most, if not all, of their activities and resources well guarded. However, given the #military unit’s expansive operations, they developed another section within the organisation for more specialised operations.

“I have every right to burn and smash things. I’m not gonna ask for anyone’s permission...because before they murdered my daughter they murdered many other women and what were we all doing? Crying and sewing from the comfort of our homes. That’s over now.”
Yesenia Zamudio, mother of María de Jesùs Jaime Zamudio:

“If you see me wearing black, if I’m too radical, if I burn and smash things, and if I make a goddamn mess in this city, what’s your goddamn problem with that? My daughter was murdered.”
“I’m not part of an activist group. I don’t need a drum, nor a goddamn political party to represent me. I represent myself and without a microphone. I’m a mother whose daughter was murdered.”

#NXIVM #MEXICO Thread.
In my research since the #NXIVMtrial ended almost 4 weeks ago, I discovered that #NXIVM #Mexico was/is MASSIVE, with ties to
#Government
#Hollywood (JamesBond?!)
and #Media
They HAD (still HAVE?) big plans…
2/ During the trial, Mark Vicente testified that Keith Raniere bragged that #NXIVM was so massive, with so many interconnected companies under the NXIVM umbrella, that it couldn’t be taken down.
Really?
Well, even the US Gov’t said it was big…
Much discovery evidence>sealed.
3/ So how big was (is) it?
Remember the Sony Hacks(?!)
In 2015, it was revealed via those leaked emails that the Mexican government paid $20 million (in form of tax breaks etc) to Sony/MGM for a script rewrite on the upcoming James Bond film, Spectre: cinemablend.com/new/Was-James-…

Arms manufactured in #Belgium are used by dictator governments and criminal organisations worldwide. While the govt has halted or banned sale to these countries, our @bellingcat & @LHreports research will show how manufacturers make a buck out of a bad bang.
FN Herstal is a popular Belgium manufacturer, but our open source research shows that some of their weapon systems have been granted the sale to be used in controversial conflicts. One of those is the Yemen intervention, where it is used by Saudi Arabia. #EUArms #BelgianArms
UK was warned by human rights bodies (@Amnesty: amnesty.org/en/latest/news…) to stop sending arms to Saudi Arabia, yet Belgium has sent millions of Euros worth of arms to Saudi which are used in Yemen conflict. @amnestybe also warned this: amnesty.org/en/latest/news… #EUArms #BelgianArms

#Maricopa County recorded Adrian Fontes is a native of Nogales, Arizona, a border town where #ArizonaMafia #4, Marco Lopez, my former friend and business partner, grew up with Fontes...Fontes handled vote count in Kyrsten Sinema's election where a "last minute surge" was seen
Considering the way #ArizonaMafia members work, their influence on the U.S. #Democrat party and otherwise, they are a hard charging, aggressive group. They use scorched-earth tactics themselves and through others ... everything they do is brute force. azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
"Fontes responded angrily to [a] Goodyear [Arizona] voter, Nathan Schneider, who complained that the election date was hard for him and his mother to find on the mail-in ballot..."

Fontes responded by asking if Schneider's mother ran his campaign and writing "go F- yourself."
