The Lighthouse was Right, Yahoo offers Correction – And the Setup

Vindicating our earlier post: Yahoo headlines likely wrong: This new headline on Yahoo News via Reuters report that the man arrested that was being reported yesterday as El Chapo’s son was in fact previously unknown car dealer. Mexico got wrong man in high-profile drug arrest: lawyer Yahoo and other major news outlets corrected their story about one day after the likely confusion was reported here. Ironically, Yahoo news and Reuters are still not reporting that it IS in fact the wrong man (note the above headline is attributed to the suspect’s lawyer) though they had no problem reporting that it WAS Guzman without qualifications when first reporting he had been arrested. The Mexican government is however way ahead of the mainstream news media (who is trying to protect Obama from another embarrassing story) and already admitted that they have the wrong man. A more truthful version of the Reuters story would state that the suspect’s lawyer AND the Mexican government now agree it is a case of mistaken identity. Instead, they are going on reporting falsely that the Mexican government is still hoping to prove the identity by DNA tests. It is utter desperation from the leftist media hoping [...]

Yahoo Headlines Reporting “El Chapo” Guzman’s son has been Captured.. Apparently not true

By Erik Zimerman On June 23, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Avvisi

Reuters, and the major media outlets, including a Yahoo headline today, are reporting the arrest by Mexican Marines of Mexico catches son of top drug lord “Shorty” Jesus Alfredo Guzman, “El Gordo”. This would be a major victory for Mexico’s embattled President weeks before the election. The operation was hailed as great success of joint US/Mexico cooperation and intelligence sharing. In fact, it seems it may have been a politically timed and hastily launched operation by two embattled administrations before election time. I am increasingly doubting that the man paraded for Mexican media was in fact Guzman’s son. There is little resemblance between him and known photographs. The circumstances of his capture are also unlikely. If in fact, they have the wrong man, this will surely lead to finger pointing (Mexico blaming bad DEA info and vice versa) and a big embarrassment for the two administrations that needed just the opposite. The Obama administration, already under fire for “Fast and the Furious” type operations in Mexico will have to answer for another bungled job in handling the drug war. This is still not conclusive, and hopefully time will tell, (if there is not a successful cover-up) if they did catch him or not. News of the son’s arrest would undoubtedly have set the [...]

Very Interesting – La Barbie on Camera

By Erik Zimerman On September 5, 2010 · Add Comment · In The Whiskey Room

Incredible footage. This obviously would no thappen in the US where they would telvise his interrogation/interview from custody. A while back, when his ally Beltran-Leyva was killed in a shootout, I wondered on the details, if he really chose to resist to the death, what someone in that situation would/could do.. You have a cell phone and millions of dollars, and only a few minutes to be able to save yourself. Call corrupt politicians to back the soliders down, call allies to bring armed men? These are questions we almost never get an answer to. Here La Barbie, tell how Arturo did call him right away, and he told him he would not surrender. That he would fight, and told him to bring men to help. Somehting La Barbie says he did not (not nesesairly true of course). Though people usually love to see the powerful fall, of any kind, its sad to see this. Perhaps well deserved and perhaps not, what is sure is that he played the game, succeeded until now, and now lost. His demeanor is consistent with that. The declaration on camera is so strange, (he also does not seem to be beaten up too [...]
