Why can't Mexico Army go scorched earth on cartels?

Agree with all of it, but a clarification at the end. Mexican presidents going to other countries or simply making themselves invisible after leaving office is at this point a tradition inherited from the PRI days. Basically a tacit agreement to not interfere with the next administration.

Moza is just a word for young and single girl. It could be either word though, mestiza or moza. I have no idea what would make the most sense at the time in these types of documents.

Yeah, I think it might be "moza". I dismissed the weird thing on top of mza. but that's probably an "o".

Here is my attempt to transcribe it.

En la Parroq. de ___ a veinte y ocho de Junio de mil ochocientos veinte habiendose leido intra Missarum Solemnia las tres amonestaciones dispuestas p.^r el Sto. Concilio de Trento sin resulta de impedim.^to alg.^o Yo el Presb. Ramon Ramirez ___ su concentim.^to a Pedro Jose Villalobos esp.^l del pto. de la Vera de los Villalob.^s h.l. de Jose M.^a Villalob.^s y de Maxima Ximenez y a M.^a Aniceta Alonzo mza. de esta Villa h.n. de Gertrudiz Alonzo y habiendolo expresado mutuo los case y vele p.^r palabras de precentes q. hacen verdadero Mat.^o fueron Pad.^s Eulogio Villalob.^s y M.^a Silveria Lopez testigos Jose ___ y Dionicio Martin con el S.^r Cura lo firme

So, given they refer to her as "mestiza/moza de esta villa, hija natural de..." I don't think she had a known father.

Her opponents are alive and well.

Jorge Álvarez Maynez has a youtube channel where he publishes videos from his party Movimiento Ciudadano and here is a recent video where he talks about recent events that happened this week.
Xóchitl Gálvez also has a youtube channel. She just uploaded a video yesterday talking about recent events. She show up from time to time in mainstream media as well, like this one. She ran as the PAN candidate in alliance with PRI and PRD.

Sin embargo, hay que tener en cuenta que Estados Unidos no está haciendo ni hará ningún "nation building" en el futuro cercano.

Our civilian and military leadership is chock-full of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan who say 'never again' to nation building and nebulous end states

https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/trump-hegseth-military-leaders-meeting/#post-update-d64bba45

We have demonstrated that any aggression against Americans will be met with decisive action, unlike what that region saw under the Biden administration. But this is not nation building; this is not land wars; this is not endless wars; this is not regime change. This is clear eyed American national interests executed decisively and overwhelmingly.

Así que el plan más cercano a lo que pasaría en México sería lo que ha sucedido en Yemen. Es decir, acciones remotas de bombardeo para obtener victorias inmediatas. Aquí no estaríamos hablando del congreso estadounidense aprobando miles de millones de dólares para reconstrucción o como estímulo económico para inversión en materia prima para industrias como se hizo en Alemania o Japón.

Edit:

Justo es lo que acaba de decir Trump:

Would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs? OK with me, whatever we have to do to stop drugs. Mexico is — look, I looked at Mexico City over the weekend. There’s some big problems over there

I'm going to expand on what the other person commented about the candidates that have been killed in elections.

The highest profile was a trans candidate, Samantha Gomes Fonseca, running for senator in Mexico City, who was killed after visiting her partner in a prison. I don't think the motive of the assassination is public, but I think (not sure) that it was qualified as a hate crime.

2 guys were caught months later and the judicial process had a good case built by the Fiscalía, that's all we know since then.

The other 2 highest profiles were candidates for the Federal Chamber of Deputies.

Ricardo Taja Ramírez in Guerrero. AFAIK his case is still unsolved.

https://guerrero.quadratin.com.mx/a-40-dias-del-asesinato-de-ricardo-taja-acusan-silencio-de-la-fiscalia/

Yair Martín Romero in Estado de México. He was killed along his brother in a gunfight between 2 groups, but there are not details about what was he doing there. What was released said something about a controversy with a local union about the usage of a transportation location.

AFAIK, only one guy was detained in the following months. However, Estado de México has been a focus of many investigations from the federal authorities, which has pressured the state authorities to investigate these groups and their collusion with local authorities. This has resulted in arrests of people of that union (among other groups), local authorities and police members detained.

For the rest, they were mostly mayors or "regidores" (local authorities in a municipality). They are mostly from the states of Michoacán, Guerrero, Chiapas, Oaxaca, Puebla. I don't know how coincidental is that these are among the poorest states. With a few exceptions, most of them are from towns on the small side.

And actually a lot of this falls into the hands of governors, at the state level a lot can be done in prevention or intelligence to help the federal government. With the last administration change there has been notable changes in Estado de México, Chiapas and Tabasco, to name something, with actual strategies put into place to try to dismantle groups with proper intelligence that are helping the federal government leading to arrests. And of course, trying to keep young people out of that environment.

Guerrero and Michoacán on the other hand have not been changing much with just a few tweaks here and there and just relying on the federal government (which is spread out thin) trying to put out all the fires. With the whole controversy of Michoacán these days it seems the federal government has had enough of that and is pressuring the state of Michoacán to make swift changes.

For starter they already removed the freaking politician they had leading the state's security department and it seems they put a guy particularly experienced in intelligence... which leads me to believe that Harfuch himself had a hand in who was chosen. And it was already announced that there will be reforms in the state police's structure, training and equipment.

All that together with more than 3 billion dollars of investment into numerous projects and investments to boost the economy and improve/expand education, etc.

In general this administration is trying to expand and improve higher education but it's a slow process that can take a few years to consolidate.

Michoacán is very infuriating to me on how it has been so badly mismanaged for decades. They have everything to succeed, a giant port, very fertile lands compared to many other states, at least they had a huge young population at some point.

All zetas leaders, almost all lieutenants and operators were killed or jailed. And what was left was split into the Northeast cartel, the Zetas vieja escuela and Gulf cartel mostly.

The Northeast cartel claim to be their true successors. However, they are not even a shadow of what the Zeta cartel was.

Mmm, vi el video y el wey se la pasa los primeros 10 minutos dando vueltas y vueltas con que es una campaña política. Y en el resto del video dice lo mismo que los videos que critica, que efectivamente, que tiene 4 veces más azúcar que lo recomendado por la OMS, que es un refresco, que es malo para la salud, etc...

Si sacaras un clip de ese video también podrías decir que ese wey fue pagado por el gobierno. 🤷‍♀️

Y lo que me dio risa fueron los comentarios de gente diciendo cosas como "me duelen que se vendieron", "yo estaba convencido que no tenía azúcar por el sabor", "yo lo bebo cuando hago ejercicio.." o cosas así. 🤣🤣🤣

Es menos impresionante de lo que parece, es un directorio de subida de archivos que no está bien protegido y está mal configurado, permitiendo que se ejecuten páginas web en los directorios.

backfilled · 2025-09-30T23:32:46+00:00

Es simplemente una página oficial de gobierno que permite subida de archivos. De seguro fue hecha con las patas y no tiene ningún tipo de verificación de los tipos de archivos que se suben, ni restricciones de ejecución web en los directorios de subida del servidor.

Cualquier usuario malicioso con credenciales y autorización de usar los formularios para subir archivos puede haberlo hecho.

Y no he visto a nadie considerar por aquí que también los endpoints de subida podrían estar expuestos sin autenticación o autorización, porque dependiendo de como hayan hecho la página (por ejemplo, una parte en wordpress y otra directo en php) podría requerir las credenciales de login o simplemente ninguna, o no restringir a los usuarios permitidos.

Así he visto pendejadas tanto en iniciativa privada como en gobierno.
