Investigation exposes cover up – police blotter shows three law enforcement agencies responded

On July 24, 2010, DiggersRealm.com
lit up the internet with the following:

“The
bloodbath continues along our southern border and now word is coming in that Los
Zetas, the highly trained killers formerly with the Gulf Cartel, have
crossed into the United States and taken over at least two ranches in the
Laredo, Texas area. I am receiving word that the owners of the ranches have
evacuated without being harmed.”

Mexican
drug cartels coming across the U.S. border!
Texas ranches seized! The history
of extreme violence on the Mexican side of the border is well documented, just
this past weekend alone 24 people were murderd in Ciudad Juarez within spitting
distance of El Paso, Texas, but Mexican Drug Cartel members spilling across
the border was different, it was frightening, it was potentially an act of war.

The
story was reported later in the day by Kimberly Dvorak of The Examiner, too. Both
DiggersRealm.com and Kimberly Dvorak cited different independent sources within
Laredo area law enforcement. Later The Cypress Times picked up the story and soon it went viral all over the internet. The
burgeoning new media of the independent online journalist was well on its way
to cracking another big story.

Phone
calls poured into the Laredo Police Department, the county sheriff and other law enforcement agencies in the area.  Initially callers were told “no
comment” or “I can’t talk about that” and soon the responses became, “We don’t
know anything about that” and they changed from there several times until all
law enforcement denied the takeover had ever occurred.

Back
on the “www,” accusations and name calling began immediately. The story had been denied by local police, and
a firestorm of controversy had ensued wherein the writers of the original
stories were suddenly accused of everything from racism to being unprofessional to
being outright liars.

Now
there is confirmation that Los Zetas did takeover at least one ranch on July 23,
2010 near Laredo, Texas. That
confirmation comes in the form of a police blotter from Laredo. Kimberly Dvorak has a photo of that blotter,
and has shared it with DiggersRealm.com.

The
text of the blotter reads:

“On Friday 7-23-10 Laredo Webb
informed that their county SWAT Team is conducting an operation in the Mines
Rd. area. According to LT. Garcia with LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) received a
call from a ranch owner stating that the Zetas had taken over his ranch. As per
the 17 (reporting person) he informed them that they stated La Compania (area
business) was taking the ranch and no one was permitted on the ranch without
permission. SO (Sheriff Office) will have an unmarked green Ford Taurus with
two officers stationed at Los Compadres and a white Chevy Tahoe with two
officers stationed at Mineral Rd. The LSO (Laredo Sheriff Office) will maintain
surveillance in the area and advise if action is taken. Susp (suspect) Veh
(vehicle) are described as a gray or silver Audi, a BLK (black) Escalade or
Navigator and a van truck with a logo of a car wash spot free on the side.
Border Patrol also has their response team on scene. Also known info of BMW’s
and Corvettes entering and leaving the area. Auth LT Lichtenberger if
assistance is requested LPD (Laredo Police Department) will secure the outer
perimeter. (07/24/10 07:42:10 NR1873)”

This blotter mentions several Laredo area law enforcement agencies as being involved in this “call”:  Laredo Sheriff’s Office, Laredo Police Department and The U.S. Border Patrol.  To
see a photo of the actual police blotter go HERE.  Laredo Police have confirmed
that this police blotter is real, HERE.

Law
enforcement officials held a joint press conference on July 29, 2010, 5 full
days after the takeover occurred to deny anything had happened.  This press conference was held prior to the police
blotter report becoming public.  Police
made no mention of the report or events described in the police blotter during
their news conference.  Nor did they mention any response in the area, let alone a response involving the Sheriff’s office, the police and the border patrol.

Once
the copy of the blotter became public, police then stated that the blotter
reflected a bogus 911 call.

However,
as DiggersRealm.com reports, “In the press conference – and to local reporters
- they (Laredo police) denied that anything in the area out of the ordinary had
occurred. If this had indeed been a bogus 911 call that they investigated, why
did they not state such at the time?”

DiggersRealm.com
features a video of the Press Conference
and says, “These people at the press conference
are lying. Who they are trying to cover-up for is not known. Is it themselves, a local politician or does
it go even higher?”

DiggersRealm.com goes on to report: “A big question to ask yourself after watching
the above video is if the Los Zetas ranch seizure never happened, why are the
law enforcement agents all of the sudden boosting security and patrols in the
area? A thinking person would assume that there was a credible reason or event
that occurred.”

The Los Zetas story is true. It is
also an important story that deserves both national attention and an
investigation into the truth.

DiggersRealm, The Cypress Times, The
Examiner and every other publication or site that ran this story was
immediately bombarded with hordes of negative commentary, name calling,
accusations – even threats. Now we know
the source of some of those commentaries:

“’Hoaxer and Liar’. These were the charges leveled at me in the comments to
the story and through direct comments. I stood by the story, but started to
wonder where these comments were coming from. Looking into it revealed that
many of the comments on the article for the story were the same person posting
under pseudonyms. This person was located in Mexico. They would post under one
pseudonym that they had just driven to the location and there was nothing
there. Then under several other pseudonyms they would post affirmation of this
fact or attack me directly. This was done by others as well. Those websites
pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens also began posting comments attacking
the story and me personally.

“Curiosity got the better of me and I started looking into where all of this
was originating. I could understand some websites retracting it as unconfirmed,
but many sites didn’t just do that, they decided to attack the story viciously
based on these “hoax reports.”

“Looking around on the net it was starting to become clear that these rumors
of it being a hoax were being pushed by some of the larger left-leaning
websites. They were also being pushed by open borders and pro-illegal alien
websites. The latter have been attacking me for years for covering illegal
immigration and calling for enforcement, so that was understandable – and yes
they called me a racist again (for reporting a national security story which
had nothing to do with race as the races of those involved were not known).

“As border security really should have no politics when it comes to the
safety of the people, I started to wonder why the left-leaning websites would
not want the truth to come out on this. It couldn’t simply be about supporting
Obama or some other nonsense. It had to be political and the only reasoning I
can come up with even now is that they saw this as an opportunity to try and
make the right-leaning websites look foolish – truth be damned in their eyes.”

DiggersRealm.com also digs into the possible reasons for covering up the Los
Zetas story, and offers the following three possibilities: National security, incompetence or that it was covered up for purely political reasons.

DiggersRealm.com has conducted an
investigation and has published a five part exclusive series on the Los Zetas
Ranch Seizure that every person who believes in U.S. sovereignty, property
rights and a secure border really ought to read.
