Goyo: "La Tuta escorted place to place by Department of Defense"

Apatzingan activist Catholic priest Gregorio Lopez, better known as Father Goyo, reports that good information has been secured from Ana Patiño Lopez, wife of Servando Gómez Martínez aka "La Tuta" leader of the Caballeros Templarios.

 Patino Lopez, 46,  was arrested on Wednesday of this week.

Father Goyo says, that Patiño Lopez told authorities in her statement, that Tuta was escorted from place to place by the Department of Defense. She says that during those transfers he wears a military uniform.

He added that "the Department of Defense receives a million-dollar payroll for the service.  It was not known if it was a general or a colonel who is directly involved.

He also stated that recently, autodefensas while conducting surveillance  near  Tumbiscatio, they reported detecting a suspicious "security barrier, created  by soldiers".

Tuta has long been thought to have protection by state and federal agencies working in Michoacan.  Much as other capos ensure corrupt federal and state agencies by high payouts, or "putting them on the payroll". 

Mencho is said to have federal police on his protection team working in Guerrero and on the Guerrero/Michoacan border.  When American Harry Devert was kidnapped, one of the rumors was federal police tipped off Mencho, thinking Devert was DEA, and Mencho had the Sierra Santana brothers pick him up.  In Devert's last conversation with his girlfriend, he told her that he had been escorted by "military" and that another group was going to meet him in the next town.  His body was discovered in Guerrero last month.

Ana Patiño Lopez, is Tuta's first wife,  and mother of Huber and Sayonara.  It is not uncommon in
Mexico for a couple to split without benefit of a legal divorce, and enter into subsequent relationships  referred to as marriages, but are not a legal marriage.  When Chapo was captured he named his first wife as his wife.

Tuta had a second "wife", and was to marry his long time girlfriend but her arrest this year put a damper on that plan.  He met the 18 year old at a cock fight in 2007, (at right)and they had been in a relationship since that time.  They had no known children.

When Patiño Lopez was arrested, she had 6 cell phones, computer equipment, 120k Cuban National currency, and 6,350 USD.  She also had in her possession 5 boxes of the prescription drug Klonopin.  Klonopin is prescriped for a variety of illnesses, anxiety, bipolar and seizures.

The truth of murders has always been hard to come by in Mexico.

Lay down your weapons and go back to your home
The truth of murders has always been hard to come by in Mexico. There are several theories as to exactly how Emperor Montezuma died.  After the guests he welcomed as gods betrayed the Aztec people, it's uncertain if the emperor was killed by his own people or by the Spaniards

Ancient chronicles say Moctezuma was stoned to death in 1520 by his own people, who considered him a traitor for surrendering to the Spaniards.   That was the government story and may have been  the first government cover-up  of the murder of a indigenous Mexican.

Mexico's largest exhibit of Mesoamerican manuscripts features a codex made of fig tree bark tells another story that Aztec emperor Moctezuma was slain by a Spanish conquistador with a sword.

The piece is among 44 codices made by several pre-Columbian populations -- including the Mayas, Purepechas and Zapotecos -- on display at the National Museum of Anthropology.    The ancient manuscripts present a vision of history from the point of view of "the people who were subdued after the conquest.  The codices were written by tlacuilos, which in Mayan means a person who carves stones.  But they also used other mediums such as the bark of trees or cactus leaves to record their history and knowledge.

A jewel in the museum's treasure trove is the Moctezuma codex, a two-meter (two-yard) long and 25-centimeter (10-inch) wide piece made with the bark of a fig tree.  

This codex shows us how he was captured by a Spaniard and then he is seen dead, bloodied with a sword.   This is another version of history that has a lot of value because the codices were considered works done by the people, for the people.
From the Montezuma codex
This codex may be an exception to that the old axiom that "the victor will write the history of a war or conquest".  Or it could be proof of the old axiom that "the truth will always come out".
 

Let us hope that the truth comes out in the current unsolved murders in Mexico.
