1…………> Bloodshed In Mexico: Guerrero 

In continuing reporting by Bibi1581.com on the rapidly deteriorating political and security situation in Mexico, two more political figures have been executed in Guerrero in what appear to be gangland killings. 

Mariano Catalán Ocampo was shot several times by high-caliber weapons Saturday afternoon in downtown Zihuatanejo, and died moments later. Another mayoralty candidate was shot to death in the center of Atoyac de Álvarez last night. Adolfo Serna Nogueda was shot eight times with a 9mm pistol. 

There have now been three politicians assassinated in Guerrero’s Costa Grande region in just four days. Was DHS chief General John Kelly right after all, when he and DOD chief General Jim Mattis voiced alarm of the bloodshed going on in Mexico, predicting a collapse of the Federal Government? Will Trump be forced to occupy Mexico?

2…………> Swim Bladders: Cartels Delight 

Always on the lookout for a quick profit, Mexican drug cartels, Chinese scalpers and sky-high prices for the totoaba swim bladder, more lucrative than cocaine, are all conspiring to push the critically endangered vaquita marina porpoise closer and closer to extinction. 

In the Gulf of California, the peak illegal fishing season for the endemic fish species is in full swing, having begun in late November and running through until March, despite that only 40 of the endangered porpoise remain in the wild.

5…………>Castrate The Perverts: Stand Up

More than 300 actresses, writers and directors have launched a campaign called “Time’s Up” to help fight sexual harassment in the film industry and other workplaces.
The Hollywood project is described as a “unified call for change from women in entertainment for women everywhere” in the wake of sexual abuse allegations by high-profile actresses against film producer Harvey Weinstein.
