“THIS IS NOT THE MEXICO FROM THE PAST”
NAFTA HAS TURNED MEXICO INTO THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY.
Queretaro to the East of Guadalajara is a powerhouse industrial complex.
QUERETARO MEXICO A INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS POWERHOUSE
I have been working with the Military and Police in Mexico for over 40 years but over the last 10 have not been in a lot of the interior. I had never been to Queretaro and when I came here to build out our plant I was amazed and soon fell in love with the area and the people. I discovered that as I traveled around the interior seeing the 5-star bus lines going every direction every few minutes, the freeway toll roads that make the U.S. roads look old, and so much more modernization.
The security situation in Mexico has improved dramatically with Queretaro being as safe as any well policed area in the United States. All across Mexico, there are areas where the Cartels act up but usually it is cartel on cartel. The country has a vastly improved security situation. A few years ago a new Rule of Law was enacted giving more legal protection from over reach by police or Judges. Probable case stops were enacted as well as restrictutions on what Judges can do. The wisdom is the same as anywhere in the world: use common sense and know your surroundings.
The U.S. press does Mexico a disservice by constantly focusing on a security issue that is negative. They should send their travel person down to Mexico and move around across the country and do a report on what they find.
I have been very surprised at the Trump supporters I have met here in the business and government community’s. One business woman I met kind of sums it up. She asked me what my background was and I said Military, law enforcement and government intelligence and she said oh you must be a conservative and a Trump supporter. I said yes I am, I would like sometimes for the President to use a little different language but he has been great for our country.
She turned to the group with her and in Spanish started telling them about what the left was doing in the U.S. by trying to take away the American’s gun rights given in the Second Amendment and taking God out of the life of the country. She finished by saying “GO TRUMP!” That is a Mexican business woman talking and there are many more like her here. She told me we are praying for the believers in America to wake up and make their voices be heard.
I have been listening and watching as I interface with my Mexican associates here and in other countries around the world who are concerned about what they see happening in America. I have been surprised about their knowledge of our American way of life, Constitution, the First and Second Amendments. More than one has told me if you lose your Second Amendment then your First Amendment will be close behind it. They understand why the Founding Fathers put in the Second Amendment and that was to ensure an overreaching government could never make us their slaves. Hopefully we Americans will wake up and protect what we have been given and that is freedom, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The more dangerous of a threat to our Republic and freedom is not a military attack but the danger from within, from the left. Some of our most dangerous enemies from the cold war era made the statement that the only way for them to take over America was to first take away their guns. The Communist leaders of that era started training their agents to infiltrate into our society and over time foster radicals to rally against our Second Amendment. It would appear their ground work payed off.
The world continues to grow in violence and the political divide. I realize that all of us are products of our upbringing and if we are raised by conservative parents we will probably be more conservative and if we are raised by liberal or progressive parents we will be more liberal.
It is hard for me to understand the mind of someone who believes that if we take away all guns and only leave the criminals with the fire power somehow we will be safer. The problem with those on the left who believe this is that they do not understand why we have the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment was not just for us to go hunting or even protect ourselves from the bad guys but to protect us from any government or politician who might try to control us. The Second Amendment is to stop the overreaching government from making us their slaves.
I would challenge those on the left to do some research on history of countries who have gone from being free to a dictator and see what the first thing those countries did to take control of the people. THEY FIRST TOOK AWAY PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF GUNS! Does this sound familiar? I believe we are approaching a very dangerous time in our country because the free press is not free any more, they have become the opposition and not the protector of the people but a tool of the left where dictators can spring from under the guise of protecting the people.
The radical left will use any means possible to gain control and they will break any law or go against the Constitution if needed all under the cover of a press who praises them and vilifies any opposition.
The melt down of the left and the press when the people elected a non-politician and with the following vilification of all on the right should send a warning shot across this country that we are in danger. We Americans need to wake up before the government agents are on our door step with a computer read out demanding the guns on the list and any others we might have.
IT IS NOT TO LATE!!!
Until next time be safe.

DATE LINE VIRGINIA : REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN SHOT
I was writing a blog on how the security situation has improved in Mexico with a decrease in violence and the news came across about the political shooting at a Republican baseball game practice. Could this be really happening in our country like in third world countries?
Let’s think for a minute and my following observation in not meant to be political and would be the same if it was the Republicans attacking Democrats.Today flooding the news is the political types trying to put their spin on it and the far left calling for more gun control as if this was the fault of a gun.
This today is the result of an out of control radical left which is spreading that President Trump and the Republicans are doing things that will literally kill people. They ran clip after clip yesterday of the Democratic leaders stating this as fact, Wow!!!! I watched this knowing that what they were saying was a lie, but there are many followers on the left who believe what the leaders say, the same can be said on the Republican side, or Independent side. These followers feel empowered to go and do something like what happened yesterday.
Now I want to make a comparison to what is happening in Radical Islamic Terrorism, and the root cause that so many in the West don’t understand. The leaders of the radical terrorism start when the children are young and in fact, it is taught in many schools throughout the Middle East that Jews and the West are murders who kill innocent Muslims and they should rise up and strike back. This goes on and on with the leaders speaking hate, directly and indirectly, spurring people to take arms and act. Become martyrs and have your reward in the afterlife. The people who respond both young and old do have a mental issue and many don’t have hope and they are taught to listen to what the spiritual leaders say. They don’t do independent study for themselves to find out what the truth is.
Now let me quickly add that I am not saying politicians left or right are calling for martyrs or violence but the hate speech has that effect and we all have to realize, particular if we are perceived as a leader, that we have a moral responsibility in what we say and how we say it. Hopefully, this heinous act will wake up the opposition, to all those in power at this time to honor the American people’s vote and when they voice opposition, to do it respectfully and truthfully.
Now back to good things happening in Mexico:
I have had the privilege of getting to travel the world for the last 40 years and meeting some amazing people all around the world. I have found that we the people are very similar no matter what country is our home. We want and need the same things such as a safe environment to live in, jobs to support ourselves, desire for our children to have better opportunities than we did and to live free.
The thing that has impressed me with many of the countries I have been in how the people are happy with great smiles with so much less than what we have here. I always heard that the best way for our kids to get really educated, to the real world, was to take them on trips to less fortunate countries and to experience how it is to live with so much less.
My business interest has taken me to many parts of the world and one country that is close to my heart is just south of us, Mexico. Oh, the people, the food, the music and to see smiling grateful people with so little brings tears to my eyes. It reminds me that I should be very, very grateful I was born here. Starting as a farm boy from Missouri and given opportunities to follow my dream.
Violence is out of control all around the world, the Bible says when evil abounds so much more will Grace abound and God will raise up a standard against evil and He will use people as part of his tools to push good forward. In evil times can come an opportunity for us to make a difference in helping to bring an end to the violence.
I can see a progression of evil expanding since my first days in law enforcement in the 60’s with an increased fervor the last 15 years that is growing every year. One of the most dangerous things that have occurred is the attempts to destroy our Republic from within by the radical left, all under the guise of tolerant and open to all people, even those who want to kill us.
Mexico has experienced the evil of drug violence and atrocities that most of us cannot comprehend. However, there is good news as honest, dedicated, and professional law enforcement officials from all levels have risen up to be the standard against violence. There is a dramatic decrease in violence all across the country and I will mention Rosario, just south of Mazatlán, in the center of Sinaloa which was in the news the last few years for its cartel battles and drug wars. That has changed.
This photo is part of the team, with the commandant who has led the fight over the last two years and has lead the cleanup. As he told me, “As an American, you can feel secure coming here moving and enjoyed the people, food, music, and history.” We have a business there and I will be spending a lot of time there. I talked to the commander about how we can help them and one of the things was protective gear for their assault teams and officers, we will be helping with that as well as training. It is important that we give back to the places that we are having an opportunity in.
There is so much to do and it is easy to look at the problem of violence in the world and say, “It is too big, why try?” What I believe is that the problem is so big that we can’t miss having what we do make a difference, even if it is something small. Let’s make a commitment that in our own country we will push back against the political hate speech and we will become informed about terrorism, its source, and what we as an individual can do to help stop it.
Until next time be safe.

Voice of Hope Radio 1287 AM on the radio from Sea Of Galilee
If you turn your radio to 1287 Am in the Middle East you will hear our radio station spreading Hope for the suffering Christians and Minorities of the Middle East. From the shores of the Sea of Galilee the state of the art studio is housed in the historical building where the Jordan-Israel Peace accord was signed. The government of Israel with the blessing of the Prime Minister wants to let the world know that they are concerned about the persecuted Christians and Muslim minorities across the Middle East and are standing with the Christians of America and Canada in support of them.
My journey in Israel started in the middle 70s, my first book Hostile Intent tells the story, while there with organization taking pilgrims to Holy Land Prime Minster Begin challenged us to go to Lebanon and check out the slaughter of Christians by the PLO terrorist. That started a journey which led to a few weeks ago the signing on of 1287 AM, the only Christian group to ever have an official radio station in Israel.
The purpose of this station is to bring Hope to the suffering people being slaughter and persecuted by ISIS and others across the Middle East. And what better place than the Holy Land and from the shores of Galilee, where Jesus taught, to send that message out. The original Voice of Hope that we established in 1979 was in Lebanon in the Valley of the springs a few kilometers from the Israel border and was there until Israel pulled out of Southern Lebanon in 2000.
The vision to reestablish this important Voice of Hope was led by John and Heather Tayloe President and founder of Strategic Communication Group. John is the son-in-law and Heather the daughter of George Otis the founder of the first Voice of Hope in Lebanon. John connected with friends in Israel who believed in the vision and the need for it which led to Lebanon license being reissued in Israel. This is not a political station and will only be spreading Hope and Peace to the Middle East.
Why is this an important event? We believe that it is radio that will reach the most people and will give opportunity to hear the word of God and be encouraged that God cares about them but also, that we in the West care. With are all the focus on the violence and evil that ISIS is using against the Christian and Muslims it is easy for the people to give up hope. To those who already know the living God this is encouragement to those who are hearing for the first time they can find an answer for the purpose of their life and that there is the one true living God who cares about them gives them hope.
In a few weeks at the Grand Opening Prime Minister Netanyahu will declare to the world that Israel is standing with the Christians of America and Canada in support of the Christians of the Middle East, that will be an historic day. On that day, the focus will not be on all the violence and evil going on but on the Prince of Peace who has come to set people free and His message that He will never force anyone to follow Him, we can choose to follow or to go our own way.

With my last 40 years of fighting terrorism I have learned it is not only guns and weapons we can use to destroy terrorism but giving people hope and having people change from the inside out to a different way of life is the best long term weapon.

Inside the Paris France Sharia No-Go Zone
Enemy from within
The state of our Republic.
I am not a fear promoter and I operate in a very positive attitude. But, I must admit that what I see going on in the political world, and with terrorist activities around the world, to say that I am very concerned is an understatement.
I have expressed my concern before about the current brand of terrorism, Islamic Extremists, and their being a grave danger to the world and our way of life that we have come to cherish. Yes, there has been terrorism since the beginning to time and my first book, Hostile Intent, traces the origin of terrorism to its root cause. A variety of religions have used violence, terrorism, to get there way and to hold power but this time it is different.
This current brand of terrorism is messianic with the belief of the extremist that if they start a war to destroy Israel, then their 12th Iman will come out of his cave and help them destroy Israel and establish the world caliphate so they can rule the world. This is their real beliefs; unfortunately, most people in the West do not understand this and they cannot really grasp all that is behind this form of terrorism. In addition, making matters worse is the fact that too many politicians have been deceived, or blinded by the lies of the terrorists and their blaming America as the cause of the violence.
Add to that the last eight years in America with the left in power and how far and how fast we have seen the world spiral downwards with the press becoming a total tool of the left promoting political correctness. When the United States steps back and doesn’t lead, or tries to from behind the world losses it way and evil raises its ugly head with the radials and tyrants of the world filling the vacuum we left.
In 2003, I was preparing for a youth conference in Germany, with the focus being spiritual. I found it interesting that I was asked to also speak on terrorism and the dangers I saw to the world. I pondered this request as I questioned myself about terrorism, and its fit into a church youth conference. The more I thought about it I did see a spiritual side to terrorism and as clarity came I saw that the big danger of terrorism was that it could propel the world to a premature world war. That could happen because of the religious ideology behind the current brand of terrorism with world domination being the end goal and weapons of mass destruction available to terrorist. In the past terrorists, haven’t been as well funded, organized, political savvy and armed with the latest weapons and technology.
Starting in the 50’s the communist knew they could never take down the West, particular America, by military action or from the outside so they devised a new strategy. This approach would take them longer, but they were patient and it would not involve war with weapons. This approach, as we know failed, was to infiltrate people within the societies of the west including the U.S. and allow them to blend, in get educated, run for public office and be in places where they could influence our policy.
This infiltration was also in our intelligence agencies as well as government jobs and they had many people in place by the late 80’s. They failed because the West and their own people turned against a totalitarian government where the people were slaves of the government.
But when one group fails another group looks at their mistakes and reinvent themselves with the same end desire as the Communist. As for back as the 60’s we were seeing this idea of infiltrating by embedding Sleeper Agents to not just commit violent acts, but to become part of the society and rise to power through public office, government jobs, and to effect policy. This intelligence was coming from raids on terrorist training camps in Lebanon from records seized in the raids. This was before computers and thumb drivers so it was in detailed written form and it laid out the plant to soften up the public in Europe and U.S. by using Islam as the highest religion by promoting that they had to defend their prophet and anyone who thought different was a racist.
As Islam spread across the world they would move large numbers of refuges into the target country with them not assimilating into the host country but live with their own customs to themselves. As they grew in numbers and developed local sympathizers they starting branding anyone who opposed them as racist or Islamophobic in order to get the host country to change to their desire.
This has happened in the U.S though not as rapidly as in Europe. We have areas where the building of political correctness with the help of left lending politicians has allowed the Muslim groups to use Sharia Law over U.S. law to govern themselves. This was the plan from the beginning. If we do not accept this fact, rise up to stamp out this evil from within we will see our country as civilizations of history, disappear.
There is so much to talk about this brand of terrorism using both violence and infiltration that it cannot be covered in a blog. But what do we do? Is there hope? Is the hope by a political party? There is nope but it is not from one party the only hope is that all of us as Americans put aside the political bias and stop using the talking points of a political party and find out for ourselves what the real facts are. Then, we have to be bold and take action even if it runs counter to what our political party is saying.
I have been a lifelong Conservative Republican but have at times I have supported a Moderate Democrat, when they were the best choice. It is time if we really want to save our country from being overrun by those who would enslave us to rise up and get informed. In today’s world, it is very easy to fact check what your political party is saying. So much of the last elections was distorted or fake news so easily checked out but so many are so brainwashed by a political party they don’t fact check, they just accept and believe everything they hear.
Even though the terrorist agenda is very advanced to destabilize us we can still turn it around. If we as millions of individuals become one force for good, we can stop the danger around us. I pray we all will.
God Bless America
Until next time stay safe,
Phil

A common photo coming out of Europe and could it soon be the U.S.
Over the last years of working the terrorist threat and watching the migrant build up in Europe I have thought a lot about their coming a tipping point when the migrant population who haven’t entered their new country society explodes into violence to over throw the government.
There have been many studies on this and there is a lot on the internet about this subject and today I reviewed an article by Ian Morris on Stratfor who took an in-depth look at this area and it is worth reading. Some leaders in France including Marine Le Pen believe that this is only a matter of time and France needs to follow Britain’s vote to get out of the EU and protect their borders.
Those who believe, I subscribe to their concern, that when migrants are allowed into a country and allowed to establish their own safe havens, as if they were still in their home country, that is a receipt for disaster.
The reason for allowing migrants into your country should be to improve your country and when appropriate give safe haven to those fleeing persecution or political imprisonment. But when you allow migrants for the wrong reasons, such as political correctness from the left who in many cases want to change the type of government, then that country is headed for internal collapse.
The studies that have been done, including the one by Ian Morris, go back to the 4th century and track the same problems they had and the results which usually wasn’t good for the host country. Today is worse with the rise of terrorism and current terrorism coming from radical Islamist who are buried within the growing migrant population streaming into Europe and if some in our country have their way here also.
It seems like human nature hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. We have difficulty looking at the past and learning from it so we don’t make the same mistakes. It is without any doubt that the long term effort by those who seek to destroy us have been working on many different fronts to invade us. Some of those efforts are subtle, such as raising voices for open borders and with our borders un-protected, as the EU is experiencing now, then over time the migrant population with the criminal element embedded within grows to out of control numbers.
I think that this migration into Europe and the coming one in the US is of more danger to the host country than at any time since the 4th century. This particular migration which contains mostly people of the Islam faith is perfect cover for the stated purposes of ISIS and other groups to imbed their fighters as migrants. Anyone with an ounce of common sense, you don’t need a law enforcement background, to know if you don’t have records and history on people you can’t do a background on them.
I wonder a lot about what it is that blinds the politicians on both sides of the isle to not see the dangers so much so that they hide their heads in the sand and hope for the best and keep kicking real immigration reform down the road. I suspect it is going to take a leader who is bold enough and is not running for a second term right out of the box to be honest with the American people. Tell them what it will take and yes there will be built tightening for a while but the end results is worth the short term pain. This kind of strong leader the America people will follow.
The dangers are well laid out in studies on the internet I would hope all of us will become informed about this growing problem now and recognize what is happening to Europe before it gets out of control here and it will get out of control if the current administration has their way.
Until next time be safe.
Phil
