Holy shit! Gene Paul THACKER, a former Green Beret from Raeford, NC, was a pilot involved in the skydiving community. He was acquitted in 1985 of involvement in COCAINE SMUGGLING. What do you think the odds are he's related to Tim Thacker? @JackMurphyRGR

Tim Thacker is serving 40 years for a meth distribution conspiracy. He was a pilot and also involved in the skydiving community in Raeford, NC.

Tim Thacker was linked to OD Delta operator William Lavigne, who was executed somewhere on Fort Bragg on December 2 in a double murder along with Timothy Dumas, from 7th SFG. Tim Thacker and Billy Lavigne were both involved in some parachute club.

Billy Lavigne shot another member of the SOF community to death in 2018 after he was behaving erratically or something, supposedly in self defense but there are some big inconsistencies with the story.

Holy shit, ok. So, in 2010, the US sent personnel from the Marine Corps to Colima in Mexico and Guatemala to exchange knowledge and training with MX military in *Colima and Guatemalan Kaibiles (SOF)

In July 2010, the MX Marina killed Nacho Coronel, which is how the CJNG was born. It supposedly caused a fracture of the Milenio Cartel into 2 factions: La Resistencia and Los Torcidos, which would become CJNG
In 2011, Los Matazetas, the Zeta-killers, materializes in Veracruz.

From 1996-1999, the U.S. 7th SFG trained 3,200 GAFE soldiers from the MX SOF in counterinsurgency and irregular warfare. This would be the same 7th SFG that fought with and trained paramilitary forces in Central America in the Reagan era. Image
The GAFE soldiers got combat experience in Chiapas during the fight with the EZLN in 1994, where they used US training to "create paramilitary gangs, displace the population, [and] destroy the EZLN bases of support." Image
In 1997, Arturo Guzmán Decena, alias El Zeta-Uno (Z-1), "defected" from the GAFE to work with the Gulf cartel in Tamaulipas along with other U.S.-trained MX SOF soldiers. The rest is history. ImageImage

[Thread] What does DEA distribute to law enforcement in their unclassified bulletin? Nope, nothing from @Borderland_Beat or @loba_indomable, 99% of this is from @VaxTamaulipas, a much more honest website that speaks truth to power at actual risk to themselves. ImageImage

It's pretty crazy how there's been this shit happening in Mexico for *13* fucking years and no one has reported the whole story even though it's entirely out in the open. And now it's the dumbest, sloppiest people who aren't even trying to be sneaky about it. And still nothing.
In 2007 Gov. Rick Perry appoints Fred Burton to the head of the Border Security Council. Fred Burton is a former cop and Diplomatic Security Service guy who worked at private intelligence firm Stratfor. They're like a private CIA for corporate clients.
2007 is also when Felipe Calderon begins his military offensive against the drug cartels in Mexico. This is when the violence in Mexico fucking explodes. (h/t @Stratfor for the graph).

[Thread] This is Gildo Garza, a journalist from Tamaulipas with a long and complicated history. He's currently in a dispute over the position of General Program Director for Aggrieved Journalists at the @CNDH.
According to Gildo, he has been a journalist in Tamaulipas for many of the most violent years in the state between 2006 and 2013. He's seen many friends and colleagues killed and personally has suffered at the hands of criminals and officials.

All of this is almost certainly true. Tamaulipas has for years been one of the most dangerous states for journalists in MX, who are frequently targeted by criminals and state officials for their coverage.

[THREAD] This is Carlos Dominguez Rodriguez, 77, a freelance journalist in Nuevo Laredo who was stabbed to death in front of family members on 13 January 2018. What happened after is somehow even worse. cpj.org/data/people/ca… Image
It is worth mentioning that the fatal attack was carried out with knives rather than a firearm, thus guaranteeing that the crime would be investigated exclusively by authorities within the state. If he had been shot, the federal authorities would have gotten involved.
After the assassination, according to to testimony from Carlos's daughter-in-law, Carlos was supposedly killed in retaliation for speaking out against Carlos Cantúrosas, the former mayor of Nuevo Laredo. elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/nuera… Image
