''Extermination'' site found in Mexico, cremation ovens and remains

[NYPOST] An ''extermination'' site where human remains and ovens have been found is being probed by police in Mexico, leaving families searching for missing loved ones bracing for the worst.

Mexican officials flocked to the Izaguirre Ranch in the western state of Jalisco last week after volunteers flagged the findings at the site, operated by the New Generation Jalisco Cartel.

Past the estate's iron gates, officials found cremation ovens, bone fragments, hundreds of pairs of shoes, clothing, and even children's toys, raising fears that the cartel group might have carried out mass killings at the ranch.

Officials have found around 700 personal items at the site, but it remains unclear how many bodies were cremated there.

Police said they have found nearly 100 shell casings so far.

''The number of the victims that presumably could have been buried there is enormous,'' Eduardo Guerrero, a security analyst in Mexico City, told The New York Times

...which still proudly claims Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
. ''And it resurfaced the nightmarish reminder that Mexico is plagued with mass graves.''

CJNG is the worst of the cartels. Their power base is no joke, they control the Jalisco Region of MX, home to Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara - the area has a booming economy with manufacturing, agriculture, and tourism (beach capital). Violence and death is CJNG 's calling card. This death field is not a surprise. CJNG is the leading cause of political violence in MX. Everything they are involved in is usually not very pleasant. Jalisco is one of the two major players in the fentanyl trade. They also have ties to Venezuala/Colombia's ELN. Brookings and other thinktanks have also mapped their ties with Chinese Triads which are the source for CJNG's Fentanyl Precursors.

I would support military action against CJNG. Just not a blanket Cartel War.
