(Ph.D., International Studies) The Dark Side of Social Media: The Case of the Mexican Drug War Abstract of a dissertation at the University of Miami. Dissertation supervised by Professor Bruce Bagley. No. of pages in text. (198) The rapid increase in the use of social media during the “war on drugs” in Mexico, especially in the first decades of the 21st century, has stimulated a growing research agenda in academia. To date, this scholarship has focused primarily on investigating the opportunities social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube offer to civilians as organizing mechanisms, to fill the informational vacuum left by the tightly self- censured mainstream media outlets, and as a tool for survival. Yet, in Mexico, the use of these platforms has taken a darker, more sinister turn. Research exploring the use of social media platforms has largely ignored the fact that these communication outlets also provide major opportunities for criminal organizations to engage in public relations strategies, ease their recruitment tactics, send threatening messages to government authorities, civilians, and to warn off potential rivals. With the intent to fill the theoretical and empirical vacuum, this dissertation answers: What is the effect of social media use on drug cartels survival capacity in Mexico? Is the use of social media empowering Mexican drug cartels? To my parents Juan and Nilda with all my love. To all the innocent lives lost in the drug war and their families. To justice and peace. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There is an old saying that says that it is not about the destination, but about the journey. In all these years of sacrifices and obstacles endured, I have come to the realization that the most important part at the end of it all was who I became, what I learned, and most importantly, the people I met and the ones who were there all along the way. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of them. First, I would like to thank my professors Dr. Bagley and Dr. Gomez-Mera, for all your support and for everything you taught me. Thank you to my advisor Steve, to whom I owe so much; you became a very special person in my life and I will be eternally thankful for everything you have done for me. I also would like to thank my friends and colleagues from the INS department: Hanna, Joana, Yanran, Wenyuan, Diana, Patrick, Esperancita, Danny, and Enrique. I will always cherish our time together. Special thanks to Samantha, for warming my soul with your delicious cooking. To Nicolas and Lili, Carlo and Dan, for always being there for me. To Jonathan, for your beautiful friendship and your heart of gold. To Sebastian, for becoming my best friend and my partner in crime, for making the most stressful times better, for all the laughter, for believing in me. And to Yulia, with whom I shared this experience from beginning to end, thanks for all the memories, the sleepless nights at the library, for being my confidant, my friend, my sister. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends back home. To my parents, my brother and sister in law. I am immensely grateful for you and for your unconditional love and support. This work would not have been possible without any of you. You will always be in my heart. Thank You! iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF GRAPHS ..................................................................................................... vii LIST OF FIGURES .................................................................................................... viii LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... ix Chapters INTRODUCTION ………………………………………………………………. 1 1 THE CONTINUATION OF WAR BY OTHER MEANS ............................. 10 Mexico Narco ………………………………………………………………. 12 The Media’s Censorship and the Adoption of Social Media ……………………………………………………………………. ..... 21 2 MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS’ SURVIVAL CAPACITY AND SOCIAL MEDIA AS AN ENABLING AGENT: THEORY AND METHOD. ............ 29 Mexican Cartels’ Survival Capacity ................................................................ 30 Criminal Organizations on Social Media: “The Social Media Paradox” ........ 43 Social Media in the Mexican Drug War ……………………………………. 48 Theoretical Expectations .................................................................................. 50 Research Design ……………………………………………………………. 51 3 THE SINALOA CARTEL .............................................................................. 61 A Cartel is Born .............................................................................................. 62 Survival Capacity: A Fierce Organization ....................................................... 66 The Sinaloa Cartel on Social Media ............................................................... 74 The Analysis …………………………………………………………………. 89 4 THE ZETAS ................................................................................................... 93 The Origins and Evolution: From Military Elites to Sicarios .......................... 94 Survival Capacity: The Zetas Vice .................................................................. 99 The Zetas on Social Media ............................................................................. 109 The Analysis ................................................................................................... 127 5 THE CABALLEROS TEMPLARIOS ............................................................ 132 The Caballeros Templarios: A Narco-Sect ...................................................... 134 Survival Capacity: the Different Fronts ........................................................... 139 The Caballeros Templarios on Social Media ................................................... 147 The Analysis ………………………………………………………………… 161 iv CONCLUSION ……………………………………………………………………... 167 BIBLIOGRAPHY…………… .................................................................................... 182 APPENDIX A .............................................................................................................. 197 APPENDIX B .............................................................................................................. 198 vi LIST OF GRAPHS 3.1 Sinaloa Cartel Reported Clashes 2006-2015 ....................................................... 67 3.2 Sinaloa Cartel Twitter Network Analysis ............................................................ 76 3.3 Sinaloa Cartel Twitter Content Analysis ............................................................. 80 3.4 Sinaloa Cartel YouTube Content Analysis .......................................................... 83 3.5 Sinaloa Cartel Twitter Usage and Reported Clashes 2006-2015 ......................... 89 4.1 The Zetas Reported Clashes 2006-2015 .............................................................. 101 4.2 The Zetas Facebook Network Analysis ............................................................... 112 4.3 The Zetas Facebook Content Analysis ................................................................ 116 4.4 The Zetas YouTube Content Analysis ................................................................. 119 4.5 The Zetas Share of Threats .................................................................................. 121 4.6 The Zetas Facebook Usage and Reported Clashes 2006-2015 ............................ 128 5.1 The Caballeros Templarios Reported Clashes 2011-2015 ................................... 141 5.2 The Caballeros Templarios Facebook Network Analysis ................................... 149 5.3 The Caballeros Templarios Facebook Content

The analyst examined those organized crime syndicates that direct their criminal activities at the United States, namely Mexican narcotics trafficking and human smuggling networks, as well as a range of smaller organizations that specialize in trans-border crime. The presence in Mexico of transnational criminal organizations, such as Russian and Asian organized crime, was also examined. In order to assess the extent of terrorist activity in Mexico, several of the country’s domestic guerrilla groups, as well as foreign terrorist organizations believed to have a presence in Mexico, are described. The report extensively cites from Spanish-language print media sources that contain coverage of criminal and terrorist organizations and their activities in Mexico.

The Letort Papers In the early 18th century, James Letort, an explorer and fur trader, was instrumental in opening up the Cumberland Valley to settlement. By 1752, there was a garrison on Letort Creek at what is today Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. In those days, Carlisle Barracks lay at the western edge of the American colonies. It was a bastion for the protection of settlers and a departure point for further exploration. Today, as was the case over 2 centuries ago, Carlisle Barracks, as the home of the U.S. Army War College, is a place of transition and transformation. In the same spirit of bold curiosity that compelled the men and women who, like Letort, settled the American west, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) and U.S. Army War College (USAWC) Press presents The Letort Papers.

  • Violence and Growth in the Mexican Drug War ∗
    Violence and Growth in the Mexican Drug War ∗ Jesús Gorrín y José Morales-Arilla z Bernardo Ricca § December 30, 2019 Abstract This paper documents how violence resulting from the Mexican Drug War hindered local economic growth by affecting production. Focusing on exports allows us to control for demand factors, and hence measure effects on local supply. We compare exports of the same product to the same country of destination, but produced in municipalities with different exposure to violence after a close electoral outcome. Municipalities exogenously exposed to the Drug War experienced a 45% decrease in 3-year export growth. The effects concentrate on larger exporters, along with exports of more complex, capital-intensive, and skill-intensive products. Keywords: Exports, Violence, Mexico, Regression Discontinuity.

  • Summary of 2013 Atlantic Seasonal Tropical Cyclone Activity And
    SUMMARY OF 2013 ATLANTIC TROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY AND VERIFICATION OF AUTHORS' SEASONAL AND TWO-WEEK FORECASTS The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season was much quieter than predicted in our seasonal outlooks. While many of the large-scale conditions typically associated with active seasons were present (e.g., anomalously warm tropical Atlantic, absence of El Niño conditions, anomalously low tropical Atlantic sea level pressures), very dry mid-level air combined with mid-level subsidence and stable lapse rates to significantly suppress the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. These unfavorable conditions were likely generated by a significant weakening of our proxy for the strength of the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation/Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation during the late spring into the early summer. Overall activity in 2013 was approximately 30% of the 1981-2010 median. By Philip J. Klotzbach1 and William M.

  • Propaganda in Mexico's Drug War (2012)
    PROPAGANDA IN MEXICO’S DRUG WAR America Y. Guevara Master of Science in Intelligence and National Security Studies INSS 5390 December 10, 2012 1 Propaganda has an extensive history of invisibly infiltrating society through influence and manipulation in order to satisfy the originator’s intent. It has the potential long-term power to alter values, beliefs, behavior, and group norms by presenting a biased ideology and reinforcing this idea through repetition: over time discrediting all other incongruent ideologies. The originator uses this form of biased communication to influence the target audience through emotion. Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.1 The most used mediums of propaganda are leaflets, television, and posters. Historical uses of propaganda have influenced political or religious schemas. The trend has recently shifted to include the use of propaganda for the benefit of criminal agendas. Mexico is the prime example of this phenomenon. Criminal drug trafficking entities have felt the need to incite societal change to suit their self-interest by using the tool of propaganda. In this study, drug cartel propaganda is defined as any deliberate Mexican drug cartel act meant to influence or manipulate the general public, rivaling drug cartels and Mexican government. Background Since December 11, 2006, Mexico has suffered an internal war, between quarreling cartels disputing territorial strongholds claiming the lives of approximately between 50,000 and 100,000 people, death estimates depending on source.2 The massive display of violence has strongly been attributed to President Felipe Calderon’s aggressive drug cartel dismantling policies and operatives.

  • Sinaloa: fin De La Hegemonía Y Epicentro De La Guerra Que Comienza Carlos Rodríguez Ulloa1
    Sinaloa: fin de la hegemonía y epicentro de la guerra que comienza Carlos Rodríguez Ulloa1 — ¿Existe algún código dentro del cártel de Sinaloa, reglas sobre lo que se puede hacer y lo que no? —No se mata a inocentes. El negocio sólo es tráfco. No existen extorsiones, ni secuestros. En la empresa nuestro dicho es “Hay que ayudar al inocente y mancharnos con el corriente. Nosotros sí nos sabemos respetar”. 169 Dámaso Lez Serrano (a) “El Mini Lic”.2 Introduccin El estado de Sinaloa fue una de las áreas estratégicas en el tráfco de drogas en México durante el siglo y por ello zona importante para la operación de la delincuencia organizada; en es- pecífco, es la sede del mal llamado “cártel de Sinaloa” o “del Pacífco”, uno de los grupos dominantes de la delincuencia organizada, además de tener presencia del grupo de los hermanos Beltrán Leyva. Por ello, los acontecimientos en esta región tienen importantes repercusiones en los mercados ilegales de narcóticos y en los niveles de violencia que les están asociados. Sinaloa es una entidad clave para los mercados controlados por la delincuencia organizada debido a razones geográfcas, ya que la sierra madre occidental cruza el estado de norte a sur y es parte importante del Triángulo Dorado, región montañosa que comprende los estados de Sinaloa, Durango y Chihuahua. Se trata de una de las áreas del país con mayor producción de marihuana y amapola; cuenta con los puertos estratégicos de Mazatlán y Topolobampo -que representan el acceso al comercio en el Océano Pacífco- y con las ciudades de Culiacán y Los Mochis, enclave terrestre en la ruta de paso de mercancías hacia el norte.
