This article is from Feb. 2011 about the cartels in Jalisco:

RawFeed: Jalisco Will 'Burn in Flames,' Threatens Milenio Cartel
A series of warning banners, or ‘narcomantas,’ have appeared in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, on which the Milenio Cartel printed warnings to its rivals and the authorities, threatening to turn the state into "another Tamaulipas." The banners, translated below, offer a glimpse into the power relations between Mexico's drug cartels and public officials.

On the banners, the Milenio Cartel issued threats to Jalisco's Secretariat of Public Security (Secretaria de Seguridad Publica - SSP). The cartel called upon the Governor of Jalisco, Emilio Gonzalez Marquez, to reign in the SSP, accusing it of accepting kickbacks from rival criminals in exchange for political protection. If he does not comply, the message said, he risks turning Jalisco into “another Tamaulipas or Guerrero,” referring to the recent surge in violence in those states.

The banners' appearance coincided with the extradition of Oscar Orlando Nava Valencia, alias ‘El Lobo’ to the United States, and the message was signed with the initials “MFG” (an acronym for the Milenio, Familia and Gulf Cartels). As such, they could represent an attempt by the Milenio Cartel to disassociate itself from the Sinaloa Cartel, perhaps as part of an effort to counter their local rivals, a group known as the Nuevo Cartel de Jalisco.
