Seventh Day Of Protests Against PEMEX - Frontera Reports Critical Situation in Rosarito Beach - Rosarito Beach Is On Lock Down - More attacks on Maggie from the Gringo Real Estate Idiots

Courtesy Frontera


At 10:00 AM Frontera has several reports on the situation in Rosarito Beach regarding the protests against the privatization and huge price increase of gasoline at the Pemex Storage & Distribution Terminal which they deem critical.  Although the number of people involved is not in the thousands (at the most at this point maybe 100+), there has been a verbal clash between the protestors and police with some protestors removed from the site at the north end of Rosarito by anti-riot police to Blvd. Benito Juarez with rocks thrown afterwards. One photographer from Frontera was prohibited from taking pictures, this was Frontera Photojournalist Jesus Bustamente who was sprayed with pepper spray directly in his eyes for taking pictures of the police beating a man.


Animal Politico covered the assault of Jesus Bustamente and also of reporters Laura Sanchez Rey, correspondent for El Universal and her husband Alonzo Perez of Animal Politico and Univision who were also assaulted by police:

Mike's Update:  Rosarito Beach is basically on lock down with no access on the recently opened north end, nor is there access over the bridge leading into colonia Constitucion. There is access by the dairy, in order to exit Rosarito you are diverted by police to the Scenic Highway by Popotla. Fire truck parked in the large Calimax parking lot. Benito Juarez by Calimax was blockaded  by protestors at this point and not police, unknown if the police have taken over this section granting no access to the Terminal or Pabellon Mall. This lock down is verified by Frontera with added information of helicopter overhead.  Earlier this morning Mike saw at least two dozen vehicles parked on the Scenic Highway, with people walking towards the Terminal and many people walking in town south to the Terminal, an unusual and abnormal amount of people.  He estimates that at least two hundred were headed towards the Terminal. He said that there were people buying gas at the Pemex stations in town, seemingly unconcerned.

 - 8:30pm:  Around 8:00pm a convoy of State and Municipal police arrived to reinforce the Rosarito Pemex Terminal.  Businesses and Commercial Plazas (shopping malls) located at the north end of town are shut down.  Federal forces including armored vehicles, K-9's, Gendarmes and overhead helicopter are guarding the perimeter.  Dozens of patrols from different corporations are guarding both the free and toll roads.

 - 9:00pm:  There is mounting tension for potential renewed confrontation in Rosarito.  A group of 40 people have stated they are ready to block the access to the Pemex Terminal which is now guarded by the Granaderos. But, as you can see by all of the heavy reinforcements, these people are outnumbered.

Crece Tension Por Posible Enfrentamiento


 - 9:00pm:  No gas in Tijuana.  Hundreds of vehicles line up to cross into the USA for fuel, the line stretches all the way back to the General Hospital.  These lines actually started last Thursday.  Earlier it was reported that 90% of gas stations have been shut down in Tijuana due to lack of fuel.  The same problem is also happening in Tecate and Rosarito, so far Ensenada has gas.  Unknown when this situation will be resolved.

 - 12:12am:  We are hearing sirens coming from the Scenic Highway, unsure if this is a convoy accompanying the pipas (gas trucks) headed for Tijuana. Signing off here, tune in to Frontera for more reports and updates.

Once again, I am being hassled most likely by gringo real estate jerks who have taken my URL, manipulated it on the internet with links from our old friend, Fulano (Linton Robinson) and the Baja Nomads. They left out the "maggies madness" part of the URL.  Aren't they creative?  These people will sell you snake oil and laugh all the way to the bank. They are the same ones who promoted and tried to sell you the rip-off fraud Baja Trump Towers. So, are they still working for the San Diego Union Tribune?  Disgusting ! Also am receiving tons of spam to my gmail with vulgar and lewd messages, typical ! What I need to know is if you creeps want copies of Linton's manifesto, "The Dead Nigger Society" as it ran on the internet for at least a year before I busted him.  We all know that after he was busted he changed it to "Pulp Fiction".  Oh right, I forgot, you already have the original manifesto and you read it everyday.

But we don't care...in fact as promised here is one of little Paris-Simone's favorite tunes and it is really difficult to type when she  is snoozing on my lap.  We think she is a cowgirl, she loves this stuff:

I'll be back...
