If you asked a prepper to describe the most devastating disaster they could think of, they’ll probably mention a global cataclysm, like nuclear war or economic collapse. In truth, the apocalypse doesn’t have to be epic or global in nature. For people living in certain parts of the world, the collapse of civilization has already occurred.
As we speak, there are plenty of regions around the world that are living with tyrannical gangs, resource shortages, and a failing infrastructure; where trying to survive disease, starvation, and violence is a daily occurrence. If you’re a refugee in Syria, or a child growing up in the slums of Haiti, or someone struggling to survive in the ruins of Donbass, it might as well be the end of the world for you.
But none of these places can compare to the Juarez Valley. Nestled on the Mexican side of the Texas border, roughly 30 miles Southeast of El Paso, the Juarez Valley has become notorious as one of the most dangerous places in North America. At the height of Mexico’s drug war in 2009, the murder rate in this region peaked to about 1,600 victims per 100,000 people. To put that in perspective, the most violent city in the world is currently San Pedro Sula, Honduras, at 187 homicide victims per 100,000 people. Or to put it another way, if you lived in this valley your chances of being murdered are 1 in 62, every year.

I wonder if the natural environment has anything to do with people being extra 'testy' there . . . summer is blazing hot out there ! Couple that with a lot of empty land to get rid of bodies.
ReplyDeleteThey say the U.S. / Mexico border has not experienced 'spillover' violence from occuring, but I disagree. The incidence of kidnappings and drug gang violence along the border has gone way up in the past - I think cartel violence has already arrived.

Got to be something missing as it makes no sense to me.
Deleteyou know - another cooperative agreement like the Russians taking our Astronauts up to the Space Station because NASA is too busy with its muslim outreach. Maybe the Alaskans don't want to look out for polar bears any more. Really- why aren't these people arrested NOW? How much more to endure???
