 A Mexican Mayor announced the death of his main political opponent hours before the body was discovered. Mayor Mauricio Fernandez of San Pedro Garza, one of Northern Mexico's most exclusive communities, made an important announcement while he was being sworn in again into office. He told the cheering supporters, "Black Saldana, who apparently is the one who was asking for my head, was found dead today in Mexico City."
"However," the Daily Telegraph of London reports that, "speculation that Mr. Fernandez might have had something to do with the death of Hector Saldana arose when it emerged that the barefoot, blindfolded corpse of 'Black Saldana' had not been found until three and a half hours after the mayor's speech, according to Mexico City prosecutors. The body - which was found hundreds of miles away - was not identified until two days later." Currently, the mayor is facing questions about the murder. The mayor's initial response, repeated in a series of interviews, was simple, "sometimes there are coincidences in life; it's better to look at it this way." Yet when pressured, Mr. Fernanez claimed US authorities had tipped him off that someone had intercepted cartel communications and learned Saldana was intending to kill him. He claimed that unidentified intelligence sources informed him Saldana was dead hours before the corpse was found. According to the Telegraph, "Paul Knierim, a spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington, said that, while he could not comment on the specific case, U.S. agents did routinely coordinate with Mexican investigators trying to crack down on cartels." Mr. Knierim said, "if we learned in the course of an investigation that somebody's life was being threatened, we would definitely make sure that information was passed on to the appropriate authorities."

written by Carlos Zaldivar , November 06, 2009 It is "science fiction" type stuff, but is known as it is with the Honduras government, that the U.S. interferes with Latin American politics in this way, as it is by helping the ousted ex-president Manuel Zelaya of Honduras take power again, a man with a cultural level of a monkey and a leftist friend of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela last June 2009 "President Manuel Zelaya of Honduras was ousted by the army on Sunday, capping months of tensions over his efforts to lift presidential term limits." - NYT. Now the U.S. government (Obama) is fighting to get him back in power, this is all liberals are good for, supporting more leftist liberals, visiting them, hugging them and shaking hands while drinking an laughing!..
