PLEASE CIRCULATE THIS IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT TO

AS MANY AMERICAN CITIZENS AS POSSIBLE

Security Message for U.S. Citizens:

Arrest of Transnational Criminal Organization Associates

Date: June 12, 2012

BEGIN TEXT.

The U.S. Embassy alerts U.S. citizens traveling and residing in Mexico to the enhanced potential for violence related to today’s arrests of Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO) associates and family members residing in the United States.

This morning, U.S. federal law enforcement agents arrested associates and family members of a senior Zeta member, and seized property and assets within the United States. These arrests could result in some form of retaliation and/or anti-American violence. Given the history and resources of this violent TCO, the U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to maintain a low profile and a heightened sense of awareness.

U.S. citizens traveling and residing abroad should enroll in the Smart Travelers Enrollment Program(STEP) at the following website: https://travelregistration.state.gov/. U.S. citizens without internet access may enroll directly at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate at their destination. By enrolling, U.S. citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency.

Geez, for a million a month you'd think they could get the whole horse, not just a quarter.

Okay - that took me awhile but I got it eventually. Godfather reference.

Mmmmm, I think it's the quarter that contains the nose - the part that goes over the line first.

Imagine the pressure a jockey must feel riding horses owned by the zetas,no wonder they had so many winners.

Wonder what percentage of their winnings the jockeys have to kick back for protection?

More details coming out on the race horse aspect. Rumors that they were paying $10K to have opposing horses held at the starting gate. The classic is that apparently the stable was commonly referred to as the "Zeta stable" by people at the track. Apparently the Feds are now paying for the continued care of at least 12 of the over 400 horses owned by this syndicate.
