Mexico, Coahuila: Violence hides a huge petro land grab.
 

The state of Coahuila (Mexico) which borders Texas reads like another planet.

Investigative journalist, Ignacio Alvarez, ran three articles on the violence/corruption in Coahuila.

Of the three I find the second most interesting.
He proffers that a big petro land grab took place under the cover of narco violence.

James Polk taught them well.;)

"The least known consequential president".

That clerk who was with the Army in Mexico City is even less known and I believe more consequential.

"Sweeping Victory?" my arse it was outright theft.:p

From the article by Ignacio Alvarez these Moreira brothers are real nasties.

The PRI party which has its foundation in nationalization of Mexican petroleum
industry has now turned to the more modern and profitable privatization schemes.
