I indicated since 2003 that the Mara Salvatuchra or MS 13 , and the Trinitarios (the Dominicano gang active throughout the US , St Thomas, St Croix, Belize and peripherally through proxies in some Antillean islands), are the proxies of some powerful Mexican “ narco-cartels ” . Increasingly Caribbean gangs are as I have stated previously,   displaying certain characteristics most often associated with terrorist organizations i.e. kidnappings used as a political bargaining chip whilst simultaneously using kidnapping as a revenue stream, their use of highly sophisticated military grade weapons, tactics of dismemberment of rivals and even civilians as a means of sowing terror and fear in their opposition, local populations and the elite within the state apparatus.    Drug trafficking is viewed as a primary threat to citizen security and U.S. interests in Latin America and the Caribbean despite decades of anti-drug efforts by the United States and partner ...

Ronald Van Raak. Today I will include an oped by Ronald Van Raak a member of the Dutch Parliament. In his piece, he openly concurs with the criminal  Anthony Bertinus aka “ Pencho” , that Gerrit Schotte is a criminal. He names Francisco Corallo a “gambling boss” and he even stated publicly that: “ At our request, the Netherlands now joins the United States in a large-scale investigation into the relationship between politics and the world of the gambling. The Netherlands also provides all the necessary assistance in the investigation into the murder of Helmin Wiels in 2013, after the politician had said to want to take action against the gambling industry on the island”.   The above statement is devastating for the political classes in the former Netherlands Antilles, as it promises that many of them will fall in the upcoming months. Here again is proof of what I post on this Blog, verified by a member of Parliament in the Dutch government. THE HAGUE - The fo...

The No Limit Soldiers as numerous reports both in the corporate and the alternative media have shown is an amalgam, of Curacao street gangs, that morphed into what it is today. NLS today is an international crime syndicate that has transcended its street gang origins. However NLS’ muscle is still rooted in the streets, as it continues to draw recruit’s from localized street gangs in Curacao, Holland and Sint Maarten. In the internet age other types of recruit’s are being attracted, even non-street oriented person’s such as student’s and youngsters with jobs. They are in most instances sympathizers and “ fan boys and girls ” of the syndicate. NLS is a crime syndicate that is being used by certain narco-cartels based in Colombia. As a franchise that is, essentially a muscle and protection source when huge quantities of cocaine is being shipped from C...
