    Anonymous Taking On Mexican Drug Cartel

    An international group of online hackers is warning a Mexican drug cartel to release one of its members, kidnapped from a street protest, or it will publish the identities and addresses of the syndicate's associates, from corrupt police to taxi drivers, as well as reveal the syndicates' businesses.

    The vow is a bizarre cyber twist to Mexico's ongoing drug war, as a group that has no guns is squaring off against the Zetas, a cartel blamed for thousands of deaths as well as introducing beheadings and other frightening brutality.

    "You made a huge mistake by taking one of us. Release him," says a masked man in a video posted online on behalf of the group, Anonymous.

    I guess the question is if these guys can really do anything? I don't see that they've done much of anything with the Arab Spring and OWS. They may have helped with Wikileaks but really without Bradley Manning would we have even heard of Wikileaks? I doubt it.

    Now they'll find this guy's headless corpse on the side of the road somewhere.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    The cartel could just take the heads they already have, put those stupid masks on them and leave them lying around the countryside. That'd probably freak those hackers out.

    Yeah we would have heard from them without Manning. As they decided to hack into everything here in the US just to show the US government that they could be got just as well.

    They should have told the Cartel that they would put their homes and relatives homes to the the other cartels out there and not just the Authorities. This Cartel might just decide to kill their member they are holding.

    Los Zetas cartel member 'Comandante Cano' arrested in Mexico
    Feb. 2, 2017 -- The government of Mexico's Tamaulipas state said José Luis "Comandante Cano" Lumbreras, a known leader within the Los Zetas cartel, has been arrested.
    Mexican security officials freed two people who were kidnapped by the group in an operation that occurred on Tuesday in Ciudad Victoria. The security operation was carried out in coordination with members of the Tamaulipas State Attorney General's Office, the Mexican army, State Police and Federal Police.

    Cano Lumbreras, also known as "El Cano" and "Pepe Cano," is accused of leading a cell within Los Zetas that is accused of murders, kidnapping, extortion and thefts. Four people were also arrested, two of whom were identified as Saúl "N" and Jesús Mario "N."

    Last week, two lieutenants of Mexico's Secretariat of National Defense who attempted to sell 11 AK-47s and three AR-15s to members of the Los Zetas cartel for about $5,000 were arrested. Los Zetas is a vast criminal enterprise involved in drug, firearms and sex trafficking based in Nuevo Laredo, a town bordering the United States in Tamaulipas. The cartel is a rival of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's Sinaloa Cartel.

    Drug lord El Chapo Guzman complains about US jail
    Fri, 03 Feb 2017 - Lawyers for Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman say he is on 23-hour lockdown.
    Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has complained in court about his conditions of custody in a US jail. Guzman is being held in a maximum security prison in New York after he was extradited last month. The notorious kingpin escaped twice from prison in Mexico, once in a laundry basket and most recently through a tunnel in his cell. His lawyers say he has been denied marital visits and is largely kept in solitary confinement. The claims arose at a federal court in Brooklyn at a hearing for Guzman, who has pleaded not guilty to charges that he ran the world's largest drug-trafficking organisation during a decades-long career.

    He faces life in prison if convicted. Guzman's wife Emma Coronel, a 27-year-old former beauty queen and mother of his twins, flew from Mexico to attend the hearing. His lawyers said it was first time Ms Coronel had seen her husband since his surprise extradition two weeks ago. Guzman, 59, is reportedly on 23-hour lockdown in a special unit of the Manhattan Correctional Center. "We understand the need for security but we think it has gone above and beyond," said Michelle Gelernt, one of his court-appointed lawyers. District Judge Brian Cogan pointed out that the "history of the defendant is somewhat unusual" - a reference to his past escapes - and said the Federal Bureau of Prisons should decide what conditions Guzman faced and who he could see.

    Guzman's Sinaloa cartel allegedly smuggled hundreds of tonnes of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamines to the US while waging war with other gangs. The cartel is accused of carrying out thousands of murders and kidnappings, and bribing officials. Guzman - widely known by his nickname El Chapo, which means "Shorty" - is believed to have amassed a billion-dollar fortune through the drugs trade. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto had initially resisted extraditing him to the US, insisting that he should face justice at home. But after Guzman was recaptured in January 2016, Pena Nieto changed his mind on extradition and ordered officials to speed up the process.

    These hackers got them some balls. Hopefully they will keep them .

    This is old news and Anonymous has backed off of going after the cartels. Once their people were discovered and then killed.

    Anonymous learned.....they don't play like the governments do.
