Marcos, masked
head of Zapatista Army Which Sent
Millions North
“Subcommandante
Marcos, leader of Zapatista
Army. Jesuit school in Tampico,
Mexico” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List
of alumn…
“Guillen
[believed to be Marcos by the government]
studied high school at Instituto
Cultural Tampico, a Jesuit school in
Tampico, Tamaulipas, where he
presumably became acquainted with Liberation
Theology.”
“He
was radicalized by the events of 1968,
and became a militant in a Maoist
organization.”
“His
philosophies and actions are more closely
related to the revisionist Marxist
ideals of Antonio Gramsci that
were popular in Mexico during his
time at university.”
Report Claims
Chiapas Leader is a Jesuit
“Report
claims leader in Chiapas is Jesuit (“Subcommandante
Marcos’ Zapatista spokesman)
“The
financial daily Summa reported last week
that Subcommandante Marcos, the field
commander of the Zapatista National
Liberation Army who wears a black ski
mask to conceal his identity is really
a Mexican Jesuit.
“The
paper said Marcos is Fr. Geronimo
Hernandez Lopez, 36, previously
stationed in Altamirano, one of several
townships occupied by Zapatista forces
since the New Years’ Day uprising.
The paper said Hernandez had presumably
disappeared into the Chiapas jungle in
1992 after working four years with
Guatemalan refugees there.”

Jesuits Accused
of Involvement in Zapatistas
4-14-06
“The
attacks in Chiapas were against Jesuits
of being involved in the Zapatista Army
for National Liberation, which
led the uprising. Some in the media
even asserted that Zapatista leader
Marcos was himself a Jesuit. In May
1996, the Jesuit mission house in
Bachajon was set on fire reportedly by
Los Chinchulines, a paramilitary group
linked to the PRI. Most recently, on
March 8, 1997, Frs. Gonzalo Rosas, J.J.
and Geronimo Hernandez, S.J. together
with two activists from Xi’Nich, a
human rights organization, were arrested
by members of the State Judicial Police.
Rosas and Hernandez, who support
Xi’Nich, were accused of taking part
in an ambush near Palenque in Chispas,
during which two policemen were
reportedly killed. The four were
beaten with fists and rifle slings and
held incommunicado for 24 hours.
“Charges
against the two included ‘qualified
homicide’ (not being present at the
alleged murder by sharing in the
responsibility for it). However, these
charges were dropped for lack of evidence
and strong pressure from the Church,
human rights organizations, and the U.S.
Government. The four were released
March 12. The killing of the two
policemen supposedly occurred during the
eviction of over 600 indigenous people
from their homes…”
“’Jesuit
priests in Chiapas have always been
committed to the cause of the indigenous
people…’ said Fr. Rosas…

Homeland
Security Report States That Mexican
Military Crossed Border 216 times Since
1996
“MEXICAN ARMY CROSSED
BORDER”
“Sheriff
insists Mexican military crossed
border” by Stephen Dian The
Washington Times
Feb.
8, 2006
“A
Texas sheriff and his deputy told
Congress yesterday that had ‘no
doubt’ that Mexican military crossed
the U.S. border in Texas on January 23,
even as Mexican officials announced they
have concluded it was known drug
traffickers instead.
“’There’s
no doubt in my mind there was Mexican
military involvement. I’ve seen it
too many times over the years,’ said
Hudspeth County sheriff Arvin West, in
whose jurisdiction the incursion
happened.
“The
Homeland Security Committee’s
investigations subcommittee is examining
the incident and the border problem of
incursions and violence on the
U.S.-Mexican border.
“Two
sheriffs and U.S. Border officials said
Mexican military incursions happen,
though they viewed them with differing
degrees of seriousness…
“One
of sheriff West’s deputies, Esequiel
Legarrata, who was part of the chase,
testified that the vehicle was a
military-style Humvee, the men wore
Mexican military-style uniforms with
unidentifiable insignias and that they
used military tactics.
“Deputy
Legarrata, who served six years in the
Marine Corps Reserve, said he was
familiar with military-style weapons and
vehicles and with the Mexican military
uniform. He said there is no doubt in
my mind’ he saw Mexican military on
the U.S. side of the border that
day.” www.washtimes.com/national/20060207

Armed Showdowns
With Mexican Army on US Soil
“Mexican
soldiers defy border. Homeland
Security report: 216 incursions into U.S.
made by Mexican military. By Sara A.
Carter, Staff writer. DailyBulletin.com
– News.
www.dailybulletin.com/news/ci_3404101
“The
document states that since 1996,
Mexican military personnel have crossed
into the following Border Patrol sectors:
- San Diego
County, 17 times
- Rio Grande
Valley, Texas, 28 …
“’We’ve
had armed showdowns with the Mexican
army,’ said a border agent who
spoke on condition of anonymity.
“’These
aren’t just ex-military guys. There
are Mexican army officials assisting
drug smugglers.’
“In
one 2000 incident more than 16 Mexican
soldiers were arrested by border agents
in a small town west of El Paso, in Santa
Teresa, NM., after Mexican soldiers fired
on the agents, said T.J. Bonner,
president of the National Border Patrol
Council, a union representing the
agents…. U.S. State Department
officials forced the border agents to
release the soldiers and return them to
Mexico with their weapons. Bonner
added, ‘If (Mexico) is going to put
military across our border to threaten
our guys, and if their own government
can’t control it, then we should be
treating this as an act of war,’ he
said…
“…
the U.S. Department of Customs and Border
Protection formally issued a card to
agents with tips on how to deal with
incursions by Mexican soldiers.
“The
Daily Bulletin first reported of the card
last year. The “Military
Incursion” card states that
‘Mexican Military are trained to
escape, evade, and counter-ambush if
it will effect their escape.’
“Further,
the card asks agents who come across
Mexican soldiers to keep a low profile
and use shadows to camouflage and hide.
“Rep.
Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., said the numbers
show that suggestions for increasing
Border Patrol resources for building a
fence along the border won’t do
enough to secure it.
“’It
is a military problem,’ said
Tancredo…
“’Down
here, there are war stories where you
have Mexican military pulling up when
drug traffickers are coming across,
cocking their weapons, challenging our
guys,’ he said.
“’Shots
have been fired… This is a problem
here. I don’t think anybody
understands it unless they’re
here.’”
--Staff
writers Mason Stockwell and Wendy Leung
contributed to this report.
“The
Mexican military has little regard for
the border as troops have entered the
United States 216 times over nine years,
according to a Department of Homeland
Security document and a map of
incursions.
“California’s
Inland Valley Daily bulletin says U.S.
officials claim the border crossings
are designed to help foreign drug and
human smugglers gain safe access into
American territory.” –WorldNetDaily
