Mexico's scary reality

I want to bring a Mexican website I found this week to everyone's attention.

The website is Mundo Narco, which translates to "drug lord world," and it is, in my opinion, one of the bravest independent publications in the blogosphere.



The blog has been live since 2010. It is run by a one anonymous blogger.
It features news about drug cartels in Mexico. It is updated everyday, and sometimes several times a day. The site administrator has done a great job organizing the website with tabs for each region in Mexico.

Along with the blog posts, the site presents real videos of drug lords breaking the law. The videos are submitted by site viewers who witness the violence in their own communities. Much like WikiLeaks, the website receives evidence from anonymous sources. These videos are also posted on YouTube and VK, and frankly some are so explicit, I don't know how they have not been reported as so to YouTube.

I'd like to add that I have fact checked some of it's posts (which do not include links to the sources) and the three I checked were accurate.

The site's purpose, the blogger writes, is to bring attention to the atrocities faced by Mexican citizens because these are not being reported by mainstream media. 

"... los medios de comunicación y el gobierno intentan aparentar que en México NO PASA NADA...
"... the media and the government try to make it seem like there is NOTHING going on in Mexico..."

Here is an example of the videos being published on this website:
"El Taliban" el Z50 sigue retando a z40 ahora tortura a un Zeta
