"Following the Protocol of the Clean Beaches Committee of Tijuana, which presides over the XXII City Council, the municipal government informs the public that the beaches of San Antonio del Mar, Playa Blanca and Baja Malibú are not suitable for aquatic recreation, so that uses of direct contact are not recommended, due to out-of-norm values that have been constantly presented.
It is important to mention that according to guidelines, the beaches must remain with precautionary closure and will not be opened until the conditions that gave rise to the determination of the risk have ceased, and will be carried out in a length of 370 linear meters.
The Institute of Public Health Services of Baja California, through the Directorate of Protection against Sanitary Risks, and in accordance with the sanitary surveillance of beaches in coordination with the Beaches Technical Committee, has determined that they have been placed under sanitary surveillance.
It is important to mention that through this committee the control actions are implemented to reestablish the suitable conditions for their recreation and they do not represent a sanitary risk.
These actions include a comprehensive work among government entities such as the International Boundary and Water Commission between Mexico and the United States, the State Public Services Commission of Tijuana, the Navy Secretariat of Mexico, Isesalud, the Municipality and the Commission. Nacional del Agua who are part of the Clean Beaches Committee of Tijuana, in order to prevent and preserve public health.
Isesalud reminds citizens that the criteria for considering a risky beach are based on the amount of Enterococci NMP / 100 ml of beach water according to the following parameters:
0 - 200 SUITABLE FOR RECREATIONAL USE> 200 NOT SUITABLE FOR RECREATIONAL USE

Paris Update: Fifth and Sixth Weeks ! - Death Of The Xeriscape Garden @ SADM -SADM Beach Designated A Risk For Health & Environment - Armed Attack In The Sentri Lane - Mexican Mothers Pray to Our Lady Of Guadalupe For Their Missing Children - Don the Beachcomber And His Philistine Buddies @ SADM !
 |
| An early Holiday Greeting ! As Peg down the street says, "You know what dog spelled backwards is, right ?" |
Last week Paris was at the VCA clinic in San Diego and went through the full routine, but this time her bandages and comfy cone were removed. This is probably the most difficult part of the entire ordeal because Paris thinks she can fly. She is still on anti inflammatory and pain meds.
The past two weeks she has been aching to go for a walkie. We have to stop her from jumping and of course this is really a challenge because she jumps. We put boxes atop of the furniture so she won't jump up on her old time spots. Her harness is still on and we still need to lift her down stairs and off the sofa and bed, but she is tired of it. We have to make sure the doors are closed otherwise she tries to run down to see Bob. In another week she goes back for more x-rays and possible pin removal and then hopefully she can go for slow walkies. Once a month she will go in for checkups. She needs a bath, but I need Mike to be home to help and lift her out of the tub.
However, going for a walkie could be potentially hazardous with the construction around here and nails left in the streets. And I need to take a few moments to talk about that.
As most of you are aware, four lots were snapped up quickly and quietly (two behind us by the Gilligan Island Frat House and two next to us) and construction on four houses began almost overnight. One neighbor noted that no construction notices or permits were posted - but what's new about that ? Who is going to buy these houses is a mystery - we are assuming it will be people who enjoy living by and smelling the sewage dump.
From Frontera: High Levels of Fecal Contamination South of Tijuana
According to the the PFEA the beach with the highest level of pollution is San Antonio (that is here) and it is not suitable for recreation as it exceeds the limit of 200NMP Enterococci/100ml. the beach represents a risk to human and enviromental health.
Altos Niveles de Contaminacion Fecal al Sur de Tijuana
por, Esther Hernandez
Anyone think those conditions are going to change any time soon? Doubtful.
Anyway, one of the lots is right next door to ours. We had made an arrangement with the former owners many years ago that they would allow us to plant plants along side the side of our house and we would keep the lot tidy - the side of the our house which you also may recall was graffitied or tagged along with our truck and Reuban's property (Reuban's property received a huge penis painted on his wall - in other words, "fuck you" or "shut the fuck up": this is how the real estate gangsters operate, by threats and damaging personal property) when Reuban & Guillermo attempted to stop the over the height limit view blocking decks. Mike and I helped to support the effort. The President of the HOA here at SADM would not allow us to distribute the petition at the HOA meeting - of course not, the real estate mafia runs everything here at SADM - including but not limited to changing the codes of the HOA to allow the construction of apartments and condos.
Here are my thoughts on those conditions: A gringo HOA President dismisses the concerns of Homeowners (and most of those who signed this petition were in fact MEXICAN CITIZENS) and personal property was damaged in an effort to shut people up. This is purely intimidation - no wonder the Mexican people really do not like the gringos. Even in their own neighborhood, in their own country they were told in so many words that their concerns and feelings didn't count one little bit; a perfect way to keep them subservient while the gringo real estate vultures and their Mexican sycophants control conditions at SADM in order to make money. The message is clear: don't talk about the pollution, don't talk about the crime and the drug war, don't talk about your property values being lowered because you no longer have a view, don't talk about the realities, don't talk about anything and remember - this is heaven, a safe and glorious place to live. And these intimidating actions leads all of us to think in the back of our minds - if they are capable of damaging personal property, what else are they capable of doing ?
Some man, his name is Tony approached Mike and first warned him that my car would probably get dirty from all the construction and offered to cover it up during the course of their work. This was odd because there already is a cover over my car. Mike told him not to worry about it, plus there is an alarm on the car which would go off if anyone touched it.
Next, Tony told Mike all the plants have to go, but he was thinking of leaving the six tall cactus (which reached the roof and were gorgeous) and that he was putting in a sidewalk. Many years ago we brought in expensive soil and tons of lomax soil conditioner and I had bulbs and roses; we eventually took those out and brought in huge pots, more planting soil & we put in xeriscape plants, some exotic which were really nice. In between the large pots, we had made several hundred trips to the beach collecting river rock, hauled them up and shoveled them in between the pots, it was nice. A wild myapora tree had popped up which I babied along with a huge stick cactus tree which was great for erosion control.
What I wanted to do was to take out three of the most exotic cactus and transplant them, since there was no where to put (or even move) the large pots. But what Tony the tough guy did was order his crew (or maybe it was his boss who drives a flashy BMW, wears Beverly Hills casual and accents it all with gold chains, bracelets and rings) to do was to stack up construction materials so no one could get through to salvage the plants. In fact, Mike went out and wanted to spray for ants on the side of our house and was told, "This is private property !" What the fuck ? So, not only could we not spray for ants on the side of our house but we couldn't get at the plants to save them. In addition while grading, one of my potted plants which sits on our ledge was knocked over, fell and broke and also fell on two of my 1960 gnomes which I had just painted and broke them. If you are a gnome collector you know there is nothing like an almost sixty year old gnome - they just don't make em any more.
A couple of weeks age, a bulldozer came in and just completely wiped out the river rocks, the pots and the plants, boom gone, without a word. So this is how it is in Mexico, wanna be real estate gangsters plundering their way into oblivion. And yet, there is no real estate market at least for the gringos so why bother? I felt especially bad about this not only because I could not save any plants but it was we who offered water to Tony's crew and told them they could use the hose when we were hit with that awful heat wave and they had no water at all....none not a drop for days in over 100 degree heat. No one else offered, even Tony's friends he and his cabal rent to above us, the too cool party boys who think they are macho mafiosos living on Gilligan's Island.
A long time ago I wanted to buy that lot and put in some fruit trees and a garden like we had in Punta Banda.... but I'm sure glad we didn't. Everyone we know here along with ourselves wants out (except the party boys on Gilligan's Island). Did this bum out the Holidays ? A little, obviously I can't put Christmas lights up on the side of the house and the wild myapora tree, which is dead and gone. Did I offer Tony a "Fuck Trump" button ? Hell no, he did the same type of thing you would expect Trump to do. Truthfully, 99.99 percent of these local real estate speculators and investors wholeheartedly supported the Baja Trump Towers Scam at Punta Bandera up the road, so you can't expect much. However it does give you an idea of where they are coming from and where they are at. Creepy.
Thought I should add this, because you will not see it in the USA MSM/Corporate News:

Paris says woof !

For Rick (sorry I meant Don the Beachcomber) the loser and his idiot friends : Why is it you goofballs, why is it you don't confront the two MEN who initiated & pursued for months the petition against the over the height limit view blocking decks Guillermo and Reuban ? Is it because they are MEN ? Or is it because they are MEXICAN CITIZENS & HOMEOWNERS here fed up with gringo jackasses like you? Either way you guys are such a bunch of chicken shits and crooks all you can do is hassle women. Go fuck yourselves cowards !
Or for that matter approach the homeowners here who were behind the petition and laugh in their faces, rub their faces in it - what bravado, rub it in their faces that they were screwed by a bunch of gringo goombas, they shouldn't mind - they get screwed all the time here. Take a chance Rick er Don, do it. What is sickening is that your friends have at their fingertips Mexicans working alongside of them, pitching these properties and screwing their own people. Anything to make money.
How many rentals now ? Just in these blocks four that we know of (you live in one, your buddy in another) how many more? The new ones, those will be rentals too? Four more ? Any in the back there - the "American Style Condos" ? What a racket ! That is what I call fast, slick and dirty. You all are such macho men ! Bunch of worthless worms with the intelligence of a herd mentality. Enjoy the view Rick...er sorry I meant Don, it is completely contaminated with fecal material just like you, a shitbird. This never has seemed to bother you before, you like looking at it. Go for a long swim, please ! Then move on to the next community or neighborhood in Mexico and fuck it up too ! That is what you do.

Paris Update:
Yesterday Paris had her check up with Dr. Jackson at the VCA in San Diego, she was there several hours going through a battery of tests and x-rays. The bone healing seems to be slow going, however her stilts were removed. So, with the stilts off and the legs bandaged we are still watching her very closely as before with another appointment set up for next week. She has been put back on inflammation medication which doesn't seem to upset her and pain pills as needed. The pins haven't moved - but if they do and have to be removed, that's an entire different procedure - pretty quick and painless. Her spirits are good which is really important. She and bob had dinner together late yesterday evening - roast beef and chicken from Sprouts, yes I know, spoiled but who cares. More pics coming up.
Ley de Seguridad:
Our satellite is not picking up Zeta, so I haven't been able to pull their site up and see if there are editorials and reactions to yesterday's Congressional approval of the Ley de Seguridad, and so far I haven't been able to find a reaction from Justice in Mexico or teleSur. Quickly because I have to feed the baby Paris and make some chicken soup, here are reports:

Con Mayoria Priista y Sin Cambios, Aprueban En Diputados Ley De Seguridad Interior, Va Al Senado
Francisco Sandoval - 11/30/17
"With 248 votes in favor, 115 against and 48 abstentions, the House of Representatives approved in general this Thursday the Law of Internal Security, which regulates the performance of the armed forces in public security work, and that in the terms in which The PRI promoted it is rejected by citizen organizations and opposition parties, pointing out that it militarizes the country and opens the door to violations of rights.
Read: 8 key points of the Internal Security Law approved by the deputies
In the session, at the time of the general vote, 87 deputies were not present.
The PRI (183) and the Green Ecologist of Mexico (35 deputies) voted in favor. Also 14 PAN members, two PRD members, nine legislators from Nueva Alianza, and 9 from PES.
Read: PRI, Green, PAN and even the PRD, who voted in favor of the Internal Security Law?
They voted against 17 PAN deputies, 39 from the PRD, 39 from Morena, 17 from Movimiento Ciudadano, and 1 independent.
There were 48 abstentions, all from PAN.
After approval in general, 101 reservations to the law were presented, with the participation of 44 speakers, 4 from the PAN, 22 from the PRD, 11 from Morena, 6 from Movimiento Ciudadano and from PES.
The account @ NoticiaCongreso, of the Congress Channel, indicated that at around 7:00 p.m., with 214 votes in favor, 101 against and 4 abstentions, the opinion issued by the Security Law was approved in general and in particular. Interior, so it was turned over to the Senate, to follow the legislative process.
Tania Reneaum, Executive Director of Amnesty International Mexico, said about the approval of a day of backsliding for human rights.
"Justified within the framework of national security, this law has been rushed and the deputies have approved an opinion despite the opinions of experts and the rejection that we have expressed civil society organizations, endangering the validity of human rights in Mexico, and showing little interest from the authorities to protect the citizenship, "said Reneaum.
"This approval is worrisome. We can not allow the participation of the armed forces to be normalized in police work, since we have documented the violations of human rights that prevail under the sustained use of the armed forces for decades; on the contrary, we have to think about a progressive retirement along with a professionalization of the police, "he added.
The coordinator of the PRI deputies, César Camacho, posted on Twitter the reasons why his party supported the Internal Security Law, highlighting points such as "for no reason" the mobilizations of social protest will be the object of the law, and that It will seek to guarantee the protection of human rights.
PRI deputies, Green Ecologist, and a PAN legislator, Claudia Sanchez Juárez, of the State of Mexico, voted in favor in the Interior Committee, while PRD, Morena and the rest of the PAN members set their position against.
The deputies had called the meeting in the commission's office and without transmission in the Congress Channel, but under pressure from members of civil society, legislators had to move to a hall on the ground floor.
After the vote, the deputies left the back of the room to avoid meeting the activists who were in the entrance.
"They have just finished with the possibility of starting a process of pacification of the country, militarization is not the way, says the international experience. While everyone goes in that direction, opposed to what is happening today in the Chamber of Deputies, here in less than two hours, in the dark, without listening to civil society, in corretiza ... they have just struck a blow to human rights and a peace process, "said Alfredo Lecona, member of the #SeguridadSinGuerra collective.
This Wednesday, President Enrique Peña Nieto said that the law "It stopped being only a valuable proposal, to become an imperious necessity" , because he said that although the performance of the military is based on their loyalty and discipline, an adequate legal framework is needed to regulate their tasks.

"I trust that the Congress of the Union will respond with the urgency that today this important initiative is required, which will provide greater certainty to the Armed Forces and Mexican society," he added.
However, members of the collective #SeguridadSinGuerra and activists say that passing legislation on "internal security" would perpetuate the militarization of public security and violence.
They argue that it is the state governments that have the obligation to form effective police corporations that guarantee our security so as not to resort to the service of the Armed Forces.
In a statement #SeguridadSinGuerra said: "We categorically oppose the issuance of a law or reforms that allow federal, state and municipal authorities to continue evading their constitutional responsibilities in matters of public safety."
The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) and 11 international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, expressed their "concern over the advancement of the Internal Security Law as there are potential risks of human rights violations due to militarization from the country."

Tijuana's YTD homicidios dolosos as reported by Frontera have hit the 1,600 mark with 150 of those this past month of November. This number may increase by one more which was reported minutes after the Angel Gonzalez article:

UPDATE/EDIT 12:45 AM: Finally able to pull up Zeta; their numbers for Tijuana Executions in November are higher. According to their report, November saw 161 assassinations in Tijuana, giving a YTD total of 1,601 for the city. Their YTD total for Baja California executions stands at 2,093.

- Haven't had a chance to look at Rosarito en la Noticias, but another report from Zeta notes Rosarito Beach Municipal Police Officer Manuel Humberto Reyes Silva has been reported missing since 11/24/17. He told his family he was going to take care of an errand and never returned. They give phone numbers to call if you have any information:

Briefly, I was able to catch the Zeta report on cached regarding the shooting and killing of an entire family in Morelos including very young children by the State Police. The family, or at least some members were suspected of being CJNG operatives. If you go to Zeta Facebook you can read their report - I can't because I'm not a member of Facebook. Milenio reports this shootout lasted two hours. Of course, the concerns here are if this is as people are saying an extrajudicial slaughter of unarmed women and children and what reaction the CJNG will have against the authorities - not just in Morelos but nationwide.

Yesterday Paris had her check up with Dr. Jackson at the VCA in San Diego, she was there several hours going through a battery of tests and x-rays. The bone healing seems to be slow going, however her stilts were removed. So, with the stilts off and the legs bandaged we are still watching her very closely as before with another appointment set up for next week. She has been put back on inflammation medication which doesn't seem to upset her and pain pills as needed. The pins haven't moved - but if they do and have to be removed, that's an entire different procedure - pretty quick and painless. Her spirits are good which is really important. She and bob had dinner together late yesterday evening - roast beef and chicken from Sprouts, yes I know, spoiled but who cares. More pics coming up.

The president of the National Human Rights Commission, Luis Raúl Gonzaléz Pérez, said that the Commission would consider filing an action of unconstitutionality, after evaluating the provisions of the approved law. "Depending on whether they approve the Law and how they approve it, the National Commission will fulfill its function of evaluating if it is contrary to constitutional principles and of course we have the power of action of unconstitutionality," said González Pérez, from Washington, according to Reform.War does not make peace: Mexicans want security without war, live in peace. #SeguridadSinGuerra pic.twitter.com/QEPeNb0pkF- Clemente Castañeda H (@ClementeCH) November 30, 2017
Tania Reneaum, Executive Director of Amnesty International Mexico, said about the approval of a day of backsliding for human rights.
"Justified within the framework of national security, this law has been rushed and the deputies have approved an opinion despite the opinions of experts and the rejection that we have expressed civil society organizations, endangering the validity of human rights in Mexico, and showing little interest from the authorities to protect the citizenship, "said Reneaum.
"This approval is worrisome. We can not allow the participation of the armed forces to be normalized in police work, since we have documented the violations of human rights that prevail under the sustained use of the armed forces for decades; on the contrary, we have to think about a progressive retirement along with a professionalization of the police, "he added.
The coordinator of the PRI deputies, César Camacho, posted on Twitter the reasons why his party supported the Internal Security Law, highlighting points such as "for no reason" the mobilizations of social protest will be the object of the law, and that It will seek to guarantee the protection of human rights.

"I trust that the Congress of the Union will respond with the urgency that today this important initiative is required, which will provide greater certainty to the Armed Forces and Mexican society," he added.
However, members of the collective #SeguridadSinGuerra and activists say that passing legislation on "internal security" would perpetuate the militarization of public security and violence.
They argue that it is the state governments that have the obligation to form effective police corporations that guarantee our security so as not to resort to the service of the Armed Forces.
In a statement #SeguridadSinGuerra said: "We categorically oppose the issuance of a law or reforms that allow federal, state and municipal authorities to continue evading their constitutional responsibilities in matters of public safety."
The National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) and 11 international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, expressed their "concern over the advancement of the Internal Security Law as there are potential risks of human rights violations due to militarization from the country."

- One close by which I didn't see in the other news sources was the body of a young woman dumped by the entrance of a college in San Antonio Del Mar 11/29/17. That would be across the road at the YWAM, which used to be as you recall the old camping area.
- Haven't had a chance to look at Rosarito en la Noticias, but another report from Zeta notes Rosarito Beach Municipal Police Officer Manuel Humberto Reyes Silva has been reported missing since 11/24/17. He told his family he was going to take care of an errand and never returned. They give phone numbers to call if you have any information:

Briefly, I was able to catch the Zeta report on cached regarding the shooting and killing of an entire family in Morelos including very young children by the State Police. The family, or at least some members were suspected of being CJNG operatives. If you go to Zeta Facebook you can read their report - I can't because I'm not a member of Facebook. Milenio reports this shootout lasted two hours. Of course, the concerns here are if this is as people are saying an extrajudicial slaughter of unarmed women and children and what reaction the CJNG will have against the authorities - not just in Morelos but nationwide.
UPDATE/edit 1:09am: Connecting at last to Zeta. This is their report on the situation in Temixco, Morelos:

According to Animal Politico, this was a shoot out between the authorities and the CJNG:
