The United States declared a war on drugs and sent Mexico, and in particular Mexican indigenous and rural women and children, straight to hell. The Mexican army repeatedly massacres women and children, and each incident is greeted with shock and outrage \u2026 and the ticking of a stopwatch until the next bloodletting. Last June: Tlatlaya, in Mexico State. Last September: the Ayotzinapa massacre, in Iguala, Guerrero. This weekend, it was Santa Mar\u00eda Ostula, in Michoac\u00e1n. The weekend before, it was Calera, in Zacatecas. In each instance, and in all the non-instances in between, children are disappearing<\/a>, sometimes spectacularly, sometimes silently, other times `without notice\u2019, and it is all part of the plan.<\/p>\n Last year, Mexican Army soldiers swooped down on Tlatlaya in an ostensible drug raid. According to documents made public this month, they had orders to kill<\/a>. For the few who survived, like Clara G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>, this was old news. They saw the soldiers come in, guns and eyes blazing. For a year, Clara G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez has charged the army with premeditated murder. According to Clara G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez<\/a>, it was night, and she was sitting in the corner of a cellar when the door burst open and the soldiers poured in, firing tracer bullets. She immediately went to find her 14-year old daughter Erika G\u00f3mez. She found her lying on the ground, face down, shot in the leg. She took her pulse. She was alive: \u201cI couldn\u2019t speak. Then more shots poured in. I turned to hide. I never saw Erika again.\u201d<\/p>\n Now, all Clara G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez wants is justice for her daughter<\/a>. The State might possibly offer Clara G\u00f3mez Gonz\u00e1lez money. But justice? Never. Children are disappearing. Sometimes spectacularly, sometimes silently, other times `without notice\u2019. None of this is new.<\/p>\n More recently, on July 7, in Calera, seven day laborers<\/a>, farm workers, were abducted by the armed forces. Their bodies were later found in a pit.. They were all shot at point blank range<\/a>, almost all in the neck. Two women and five men tried to make some money working the land to send home to their families. Their children are also disappearing.<\/p>\n This past weekend, the army descended on Santa Mar\u00eda Ostula, guns blazing. It\u2019s not clear how many were killed and injured, but this much is clear: the army killed 6-year-old Neymi Natali Pineda Reyes and 12-year-old Idilberto Reyes Garc\u00eda. According to the boy\u2019s aunt, Edith Balviera, Idilberto was out buying diapers<\/a>. According to the girl\u2019s aunt Guadalupe, Neymi was playing<\/a>. The army claims the children were bystanders caught in crossfire. There were no bystanders. There was no crossfire or any accident. There was a massacre \u2026 again.<\/p>\n In the world in which everyone is deemed criminal, the army is trained to go in guns blazing, tear gas canisters and incendiary bombs flying. Don\u2019t worry. The State will or won\u2019t pay. Children will continue to disappear, sometimes spectacularly, sometimes silently, other times `without notice\u2019. It\u2019s all part of the plan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n (Photo Credit: Alejandro Amado,\u00a0http:\/\/subversiones.org) (Photo Credit: sopitas.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The United States declared a war on drugs and sent Mexico, and in particular Mexican indigenous and rural women and children, straight to hell.
