This is Dan Dix reporting for Press For Truth live from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I’ve just had the military driving past me, and I understand I should not be around anywhere where the police or the military are because they’re the target right now. The area around me is deserted, with burning cars smoldering in the background. The situation is incredibly intense.
There’s been the killing of a top drug lord cartel member, El Menchio, who reportedly had a $15,000,000 bounty on his head. His death has triggered this eruption. The cartel has been setting up blockades in the streets, stopping cars; their whole bus was set on fire. Cartel members who look like the military are present, and they mean business. A Costco was set on fire, and a hospital is under attack, with people running for their lives.
The Guadalajara Airport has come under attack, with people running and crying. Puerto Vallarta Airport has also faced a big scare, with many people evacuated on the tarmac, forced to run out onto the runway to escape the intense situation. It seems this is not slowing down anytime soon.
I understand the cartel has announced they will be entering private homes and potentially hotel resorts at 5PM our time if their demands are not met, so this could be the beginning of a broader crisis. The situation is so intense I’ve been reporting from my resort where smoke is everywhere, cars are being lit on fire, and I’ve been posting those updates to my Twitter, dan dicks pft.
People are reuploading the footage and saying, “Look at this footage a tourist got.” I’m not a tourist—I’m a journalist. I’ve been speaking at a conference for the last five days and I’m here documenting this live. It was scary being over there as I started the video; military rolled up on me, and I understand that could be cartel members. If it’s not, these are the people who are targets of the cartel.
For updates, go to my Twitter: Dan Dicks PFT. I don’t really care if people re-upload the footage and credit isn’t given; the most important thing is getting the word out about what’s happening here and that the situation is dire. People are dying, and the situation is pretty serious. I’m not sure I’ll be able to fly home tomorrow; airports are currently shut down, so I might be stuck here for a while.
If you want to support me, visit pressfortruth.ca and follow me on the major platforms I’m posting on. You can also support my efforts to cover this at pressfortruth.ca/donate. The key takeaway is to share this information, as you’re unlikely to get this from mainstream media, and I’m on the ground bringing you this truth of what’s happening here.
