The Situation in Mexico

A student shoots and kills two teachers in Michoacán and posts about it on social media
...
The alleged killer, the stepson of a marine, attacked the teachers with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle in the school’s entrance hallway. Hours before the attack, the young man, identified as Osmer H., posted a video on social media of himself posing in front of a mirror in his bedroom with the rifle. The marine has told local authorities that the weapon used in the attack did not belong to him. The state prosecutor’s office has identified the two teachers as María Del Rosario S. and Tatiana B., aged 36 and 37, and reported that they died inside the school.
...
A little over four months ago, Mexican media reported on a middle school student—from the same town and very close to the high school where Tuesday’s events took place—who threatened in another video to kill his teachers. In a video posted on social media, the student called on his classmates to “get together” to kill the teachers.

Mexico moves First to attempt to enact Fuel by Digital Only Payment

Mexico moves to mandate digital payments for Fuel and Highway Tolls. President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government is working with banks to digitize payments at gas stations and toll roads. The goal: expand access and accelerate financial modernization. Mexico is still heavily cash-based, with millions relying on physical currency daily. By targeting high-frequency transactions, the government is hoping to drive digital payment adoption.

Summary

Detailed

Mexico has announced plans to start phasing out Cash and many Mexicans are upset about what this could possibly mean for the future of the country. Many Mexicans are worried about their Freedom, invasion of privacy, and many other things. There are only a few people who are welcoming this new change and the digitization of Mexico as a whole. The Majority of Mexicans are not on board with any of this and have already voiced their concerns and started taking their own measures to protect themselves from something like this.

The CIA in México.

Two CIA agents (Americans) and two Mexican officials from the State Investigation Agency (AEI) were killed in a car accident on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in the mountains of Chihuahua, while returning from an anti-drug operation.

The vehicle in which they were traveling veered off the road (Chihuahua-Ciudad Juárez Highway, near the municipality of Morelos), fell into a ravine, and crashed/exploded.

Initially, the U.S. Embassy (Ambassador Ron Johnson) described them only as “embassy personnel.” The CIA has not officially commented.

This has sparked controversy in Mexico over possible violations of sovereignty and the Constitution. President Claudia Sheinbaum has stated that the federal government was not informed of the operation or the presence of foreign agents in the field (which must be authorized at the federal level). She has demanded explanations from the Chihuahua state government and the U.S. Embassy and ordered an investigation by the FGR. She is considering possible sanctions against the state of Chihuahua and reviewing security cooperation protocols.

There are reports that at least four U.S. agents (possibly more from the CIA or other agencies) participated directly, including by wearing local law enforcement uniforms to blend in.

●A "Greenbaum" case? The first one in Mexico?

A mass shooting occurred on Monday, April 20, 2026, at the Teotihuacán archaeological site, specifically from the top of the Pyramid of the Moon. A man identified as Julio César Jasso Ramírez opened fire on tourists, killing one Canadian tourist and wounding 13 others.

After carrying out the shooting, Julio took his own life; among his belongings were materials related to shootings in the U.S., including pamphlets about the 1999 Columbine massacre. There are clear indications that he was inspired by the Columbine Massacre, a phenomenon that, in online forums, is linked to subcultures dominated by hate speech, misogyny, human hierarchies, and references historically associated with the far right, including figures such as Adolf Hitler of whom Julio was a fan.

Julio also identified with the ideas of Hispanic nationalism (or Hispanism an ideology and cultural movement with conservative or nationalist stances that promotes the unity, history, and shared heritage between Spain and Latin America, based on the Spanish language, Catholicism, and a common colonial legacy)

According to the landlord who rented him a student room, Julio spoke with a sort of “Spanish” accent, even though he told the landlord he was from the state of Guerrero. Eyewitnesses testified that Julio shouted threats with a Spanish accent: "Si os movéis, os sacrifico". ("If you move, I'll kill you." )

● Accidents at refineries

Three accidents have occurred at refineries in Mexico this year, adding to other incidents related to the energy sector

1) March 17, 2026 (Olmeca Refinery, Dos Bocas): A fire and explosion at the perimeter fence of Site 1 left five people dead

2) April 9, 2026 (Olmeca Refinery, Dos Bocas): A fire broke out in the coke storage warehouse within the complex. No casualties were reported.

3) April 16, 2026 (Tula Refinery, Hidalgo): Although there were reports of an explosion, Pemex and ASEA clarified that it was a smoke emission and a "minor" fire outbreak at the hydrodesulfurization plant, with no reports of injuries or serious damage.

TEN OIL REFINERIES HAVE BLOWN UP IN 21 DAYS. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED.

Since April 3rd, ten oil refineries, power plants, and energy facilities across seven countries have been destroyed by "fires," "explosions," and "accidents."

Let that sink in.

Russia — THREE facilities destroyed in 21 days
India — THREE facilities destroyed in 21 days
Australia — 10 percent of national fuel production GONE in one night
Mexico, Romania, Texas — ALL lost a major energy site in the same 21-day window
Every single one is being reported as "unrelated"

The Viva Energy refinery in Geelong, Australia produces 120,000 barrels per day. One fire took that offline for months.
Russian refineries have been hit by drones for 18 months — the West cheered. The same signature is now hitting refineries on four continents.

Do you understand the scale of what's happening?

There are roughly 600 operational refineries on Earth. Losing 10 of them in 3 weeks is not statistical noise. That is a campaign.
Global refining has ZERO spare capacity. Every facility is running at max because post-COVID demand never softened. One lost refinery = real shortages within 60 days.
In 2019, a SINGLE attack on Saudi Abqaiq knocked out 5.7 million barrels per day and sent oil up 15 percent in one session. We are watching that same dynamic, distributed across the planet.

They're showing you "isolated accidents."

They're NOT showing you that the exact same signature — unannounced, unclaimed, blamed on "a faulty valve" — is hitting different countries on different continents in the same 21-day window.

Here's the logic — follow it carefully:

→ Refineries on four continents burn in 3 weeks
→ Zero suspects named
→ Zero coordinated response
→ Zero insurance classified as terrorism
→ Every single one gets the same word: "accident"

If these were truly accidents, why is every major insurance carrier quietly rewriting refinery attack exclusion clauses RIGHT NOW?

Complete silence.

This is no longer an energy story. This is a civilization-level infrastructure war hiding behind the word "accident."

this was just part one.. follow me because part two is going to be the one everyone shares. ​

These incidents have sparked speculation about possible coordination or a broader pattern of sabotage or conflict-related damage, especially given the ongoing attacks against Russia.

Yes, it's hard to just brush it off as a "coincidence", isn't it? That's way too many explosions in a short period of time.

All this puts pressure onto Sheinbaum's administration before the World Cup, which starts in early June.

Sheinbaum. Not exactly a traditional Mexican name....

Sheinbaum. Not exactly a traditional Mexican name....

It must be admitted that this suspicion has been around for several years, ever since she was Head of Government of Mexico City. However, there are also thousands of Mexicans with first, middle, last names that aren’t exactly tradicional Mexican names. Claudia's (Sheinbaum) second last name is Pardo.

What is the origin of your last name? Where does it come from?

"Sheinbaum is of Jewish descent; my paternal grandparents immigrated from Lithuania in the early 20th century, and my maternal grandparents were Sephardic Jews who immigrated from Bulgaria during World War II."

Drug lords arrested and days of violence, the Cs had already said this was going to continue.

Violence and roadblocks erupt in Nayarit following the capture of “El Jardinero” of the CJNG

El secretario de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana (SSPC) de México, Omar García Harfuch, anunció este lunes la detención de Audias Flores Silva, alias El Jardinero, identificado por autoridades estadounidenses como uno de los dirigentes del Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) y por quien se ofrecía una recompensa de cinco millones de dólares.

...

Reports of shootings, roadblocks, and the burning of businesses have been reported in #Nayarit following the arrest of Audias Flores Silva, alias “El Jardinero.” These incidents have prompted a security mobilization in various parts of the state.

The arrest of “Metro 9,” a high-profile target and alleged member of the Gulf Cartel, triggers drug-related roadblocks in Reynosa

The arrest of a man identified as Alexander “N,” alias “Metro 9”—who was considered a high-priority target and identified as an alleged member of a criminal group operating in Reynosa—triggered a day of roadblocks, vandalism, and arson in various parts of Tamaulipas on April 27.

...

Following the arrest, roadblocks were set up in the municipalities of Reynosa, Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, and Miguel Alemán, in addition to acts of vandalism targeting at least 10 video surveillance sites, involving gunfire.
During the early morning hours, there were also reports of burning tires, vehicles set on fire, and damage to highways, which caused traffic disruptions.
Given the risky situation, education authorities confirmed the suspension of classes in Reynosa, Camargo, and Díaz Ordaz as a preventive measure.

OKay, following an ultra-rare active shooter situation in a super touristic spot as the pyramids at Teotihuacan, Sheinbaum and the military activate and capture the new head of the Jalisco Cartel. How odd!

How about the authorities always had the capability to arrest gang leaders but until now it didn't suit their political and manipulative game. IMHO

In case we didn't understand the whys of the street's violence they targeted "video surveillance sites"!!

"... Following the arrest, roadblocks were set up in the municipalities of Reynosa, Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, and Miguel Alemán, in addition to acts of vandalism targeting at least 10 video surveillance sites, involving gunfire..."

Not sure about that correlation, though. At the same time of Teotihuacan's shooter was the issue of the two CIA agents (among others) that died in a car accident after an operative of the shutdown of a fentanyl lab at Chihuahua State, Federal Goverment did not knew but US did (US embassador Ron Johnson to México X post )in which he described such agents as "embassy personnel"..and Maru Campos, the Governor of Chihuahua (that is not from the same party as the federal goverment) faces two main types of sanctions for her possible role in authorizing the CIA's involvement in operations in her state without the federal government's knowledge.

So, I think that other issues are happening behind some courtains that we do not know ...yet.

 

[Puma]

Rubén Rocha Moya, the current governor of Sinaloa, was charged on April 29, 2026, by the U.S. Department of Justice with conspiracy to traffic drugs into the United States, corruption, and collusion with drug cartels. Through official documents, the Department formally requested that Mexico take the governor and 10 other defendants into custody pending extradition.

The Mexican Secretary of Foreign Affairs received the request but publicly stated that the documents “do not contain sufficient evidence” to justify pretrial detention and forwarded them to the Attorney General’s Office (FGR) so that it could conduct its own investigation and determine whether there is sufficient evidence under Mexican law.

This has sparked intense debate over sovereignty, impunity, and relations with the United States. The opposition (PAN, PRI) accuses the federal government of protecting drug traffickers. All of this is unfolding against a highly tense backdrop. As mentioned, two CIA agents died in an accident, and the governor of Chihuahua authorized the agents’ covert operation, which under Mexican law constitutes treason.

U.S. Ambassador Ronald Johnson (said to be an expert in destabilizing countries) has strongly criticized the Mexican government and the corruption within it.

President Claudia Sheinbaum described the ambassador’s remarks as “unfortunate” and “interfering,” and noted that no ambassador—whether from the U.S. or any other country—should adopt an interfering attitude toward Mexico.

Sheinbaum has stated

"We will not allow any foreign government to come and decide the future of the Mexican people; Article 39 of the Constitution is very clear: Sovereignty emanates from the people"

“We will not shield anyone who has committed a crime. However, if there is no clear evidence, it is evident that the purpose of these charges brought by the Department of Justice is political…”

Three key points from Sheinbaum’s remarks today:

1) Mexico requires clear, compelling, and irrefutable evidence against Rocha Moya.

2) If such evidence exists, the legal proceedings would take place under Mexico Jurisdicción

3) If the evidence does not meet the required standards, Mexico assumes that the purpose of the charges is political.

It looks like a legal battle is on the horizon.

Article 11 of the Extradition Treaty (signed in 1978 and currently in force) between Mexico and the United States states: “A provisional arrest warrant does not require formal proof of guilt, but only the existence of a formal indictment. The supporting documents shall be submitted within 60 days.”

So it seems the days of the governor of Sinaloa are numbered. The question is whether President Trump will dare to kidnap the governor, as he did with Maduro, in the event of a flat refusal by the current Sheinbaum administration. We must remember that this is an election year and Trump undoubtedly needs another media success.

The governor's kidnapping would be a major blow to Sheinbaum.

​

 

[Puma]

The U.S. Department of Justice presented the evidence against the governor of Sinaloa. Yep. The government—which has one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world and the most advanced technology for monitoring global events—presented the evidence requested by Sheinbaum

A handwritten drug cartel payroll. It reminded many people of the story of the "Cartel de los Soles" in Venezuela, which was used as a pretext to accuse Maduro of drug trafficking and terrorism, and he was subsequently kidnapped.

Political analysts note that the actions against Sheinbaum’s administration stem from five developments that have caused concern in Washington:

1. The Mexican government’s defense of Cuba.

2. Sheinbaum’s participation in the Fourth Summit in Defense of Democracy held in Barcelona, Spain, on April 18. The event brought together left-wing leaders such as Pedro Sánchez (Spain), Lula da Silva (Brazil), and Gustavo Petro (Colombia), among others.

Sheinbaum emphasized that democracy is not just about freedom, but must be accompanied by social justice, sovereignty, the dignity of peoples, and the redistribution of wealth. She said that “the democracy worth defending is not that of the elites, but that of the people; it is not one of the concentration of wealth, but of redistribution.”

The left-wing politics of Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia pose a challenge to U.S. regional hegemony.

3. The investigation by the Attorney General’s Office into the unauthorized activities of CIA agents in Chihuahua. The report indicates that there were not just two, but possibly as many as four CIA agents actively operating in the area. CIA agents not only wore tactical uniforms and carried weapons from the State Investigation Agency (AEI), but also they attempted to dispose of the bodies of their colleagues so that Mexican authorities would not discover them.

The synthetic drug production lab that authorities in Chihuahua, with the help of the CIA, allegedly dismantled was in fact found abandoned at the time of its seizure, and not a single methamphetamine pill was seized there; only dozens of drums and containers used to store chemical precursors, some of which were empty.

At first, the authorities in Chihuahua claimed they had dismantled one of the largest laboratories in the country, but that wasn't the case either. It is believed that the whole thing was staged. The CIA was up to something shady.

4. The Mexican government issued a formal protest to Ambassador Ronald Johnson over the involvement of foreign agents in an operation in Chihuahua, describing it as a violation of sovereignty and security protocols.

5. The likely impeachment of Maru Campos, the PAN “collaborator” from Chihuahua. The Mexican government has exercised its sovereign right to make decisions on domestic and foreign affairs—it’s just that the Trump administration doesn’t like it.

It seems that the stories about both the CIA in Mexico and the governor of Sinaloa will have to wait a while, as Iran prepares for the next round against the United States and Israel.
