I recently did something I have never done before in my fifty plus-year career, I cancelled a concert because of violence and mayhem.
The show was in Monterrey, Mexico and after being presented with the evidence of what is currently going on South of the border, I refused to expose myself and my people to the violence, the threat of kidnapping and all the other out of control madness that’s going on down there.
Murders of civilians run into the thousands, murders of police officers into the hundreds and the animals have added beheading to their arsenal of terror tactics, and are controlling whole sections of Mexico much as an occupation army would.
Several weeks ago, the U.S. military put the whole country of Mexico off limits for its troops. It’s just too dangerous to go there.
One of our guests in the dressing room before the show Friday night in Austin, Texas was a young man in the U.S. military, who is working on the U.S./Mexican border doing drug interdiction, and some of the things he had to say were alarming to say the least and why our media isn’t pointing out the dire danger spilling over our border is a mystery.
We are beefing up our forces on the border with good reason, but also with desperate need. What’s going on down there is nothing short of a full-fledged war between rich drug cartels and the Mexican federal forces, who are outgunned, outspent and face a mercenary gang of cutthroats who literally don’t care who or how many innocent bystanders are killed and maimed in their shootouts with each other and the law.
Mexican government officials and law enforcement have always been known for taking a little mordita on the side but with the incredible amounts of money involved in the illicit drug trade, the buyouts now reach higher and deeper. Even some elite forces of the Mexican Army have been hired away by the cartels.
