Protocolo Alba


When reading news of interest coming out of Mexico, I begin to search for additional information from media sources in the nation.  The merchandise Nicole Pardo Molina was hawking undoubtedly was not just "images" of El Chapo Guzman.  And for that - she is abducted.

Protocolo Alba provides a city, state, and federal interface for the kidnapping of girls and women. The legislation was initially passed in the state of Chihuahua in 1993.  The government of Mexico shows this information:

Oaxaca - where most of my childhood years were enjoyed - has not implemented Protocolo Alba. They do have legislation which addresses the kidnapping and disappearance of children, but it requires legal augmentation to be effective.   Members of the legislature are working to incorporate Protocolo Alba into existing case law to strengthen responsiveness of the government.

Problematic for my home state of Oaxaca are the rural conditions along the Sierra Madre,  lack of any real documentation for home births accomplished with a "partera" (mid-wife), and the many citizens who are not educated beyond the sixth grade.  The paper trails cease to exist, unless there is a later "matrimonio civil", or marriage documentation from a civil ceremony in front of a judge. After that, the trail can completely disappear; no differently than the tribes disappear into the purple-hue shadows of the mountains at the end of the day.

My parents were Protestant missionaries. One of my brothers continues to lead medical missions into Oaxaca each year.  It seems appropriate to highlight a family who has also made Oaxaca their home.  Across the globe, American missionaries continue to impact other nations and cultures with great concern and acts of kindness.  They can provide resources for local indigenous communities which are otherwise unavailable to them.

As a final note, the state of Chihuahua boasts a high success rate for locating missing women and girls, but the statistic does not break down regarding the disposition of the women.  Nicole Pardo Molina is not only missing, she is most likely deceased.

Those who have followed my writing know that Constitutional liberties, societal homeostasis, and concern for women and little girls are part of the weave of my journalism cloth.  Nicole Molina was in a place she should have never been, engaging in activities which raised her profile for competing powerful drug cartels in Sinaloa. 

Cute doesn't save the day. Foolishness can bring severe consequences.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend".

Charlie Kirk Memorial: Live Blog: The Largest Church Service in Human History

Live Blogging:  Charlie Kirk Memorial Blackfoot is comfortably snoozing in a different time zone.  So I will go ahead and start the post.  Undoubtedly, when I return to the desktop, Blackfoot will have added a few thoughts and I will enter the arena again. Security.  The word floated across my consciousness several times yesterday.  The perimeter of two stadiums and parking lots must be secured for the Charlie Kirk Memorial.  Within full envelope surveillance are tricks of the trade which most of us are unaware of - in blissful manner. Problematic, is not only an estimated crowd of 100,000 souls, but the abbreviated timeline to secure the venue.  We had a friend who worked full-time providing security for the Dallas Cowboys Stadium when it was in Irving, Texas.  When the team hosted the Super Bowl in 2011, several alphabet agencies were involved in securing the space for weeks in advance.  Every can of nacho sauce, toilet paper, and toothpick...
