<\/p>\nNavy chopper with armed troops conducts surveillance in south Texas border town, authorities couldn\u2019t care less<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Paul Joseph Watson<\/a> While the U.S. government<\/a> and federal authorities busy themselves targeting American citizens as domestic terrorists, it seems they couldn\u2019t care less about the fact that the military<\/a> of a foreign power is flying around American airspace with wanton abandon.<\/p>\n Residents of Falcon Heights, a south Texas border town, saw a Mexican helicopter hovering over a house shortly after 6pm on Tuesday night. The chopper conducted surveillance for about 15 minutes before flying back to Mexico.<\/p>\n \u201cThey had armored individuals in the chopper, open ramp, very military<\/a> looking, in style and preparation,\u201d said Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez Jr.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s proof the Mexican military<\/a> sees no boundaries,\u201d reported local KRGV News<\/a>\u2019 Stephanie Stone<\/a>, adding that the incident wasn\u2019t the first of its kind and wouldn\u2019t be the last.<\/p>\n \u201cThe markings I understand read \u2018La Marina\u2019 which is equivalent to the Mexican Navy,\u201d said Gonzalez.<\/p>\n Local residents who saw the chopper refused to talk about it on camera, but the news<\/a> report showed images of the helicopter.<\/p>\n KRGV contacted nearly a dozen government<\/a> agencies in an attempt to get answers. After contacting the the FAA about the chopper, KRGV were told to talk to the Customs and Border Protection, who said they knew about the incursion but were apparently unconcerned.<\/p>\n State and local authorities refused to return phone calls about the incident after they were also contacted by KRGV.<\/p>\n \u201cA U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman says that a Mexican military<\/a> helicopter crossed the border into south Texas late Wednesday afternoon before returning to Mexico without landing,\u201d reported the Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cRichard Pauza said Thursday that customs officers had spotted the helicopter over U.S. territory near the Falcon Dam in Zapata County sometime after 5 p.m. Pauza said he had no other information.\u201d<\/p>\n While the government<\/a> trains federal authorities and law enforcement personnel that U.S. citizens are the biggest threat<\/a>, they couldn\u2019t give a damn about the fact that the military<\/a> of a foreign government<\/a> is violating U.S. airspace when it pleases.<\/p>\n Imagine if Soviet bombers or Iranian fighter jets were caught cruising around Los Angeles or Washington D.C. Would the government<\/a> be at all concerned? Or are they too busy worrying about gun owners, Tea Party activists and Ron Paul<\/a> supporters?<\/p>\n Indeed, this only helps the process of acclimating the American people to accept the sight of foreign troops on U.S. soil, a danger Congressman Ron Paul<\/a> has characterized<\/a> as a \u201chorrible precedent\u201d which is part of the \u201cNAFTA scheme and globalization and world government<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Mexican troops have been routinely caught entering U.S. soil and firing on U.S. border patrol agents as well as civilian border patrol groups.<\/p>\n In December 2003, Jack Foote, national spokesman for property protection group Ranch Rescue, told NewsMax<\/a> how \u201ctwo armed Mexican soldiers wearing green combat fatigues and Kevlar helmets\u201d violated U.S. territory before opening fire on a position only moments after it was vacated by the border group.<\/p>\n An August 2008 CNN<\/a> report<\/a> found that Mexican troops and law enforcement had illegally crossed the border no less than 42 times just since the previous October, relating another case of how Mexican troops had crossed the border and pointed rifles at a U.S. border patrol agent.<\/p>\n In October 2007, Mexican soldiers engaged in an armed standoff with nearly 30 American law enforcement officials on the southern U.S. border.<\/p>\n \u201cAt a spot more than 200 yards inside the U.S., Mexican Army troops set up several mounted machine guns when U.S. Border Patrol agents called for backup,\u201d reported the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin<\/a>.<\/p>\n Watch the clip below.<\/p>\n
