...March 16, three days after three people linked to the U.S. consulate were slain. The high-profile murders are the latest to rack Mexico's most violent city, where an estimated 4,500 people have been killed in drug-related attacks since 2008. With the crime surge increasing public discontent with the government's military-led offensive against cartels, Calderón has promised to redirect some resources to social-reform programs...

Or they can make and market their own videotapes-a propaganda tactic that insulates the patriot evangelists from any direct blame for the antigovernment acts they may inspire. The handful of celebrities on the patriot circuit-people like Koernke, attorney Linda Thompson and Militia of Montana founder John Trochmann-all have tapes in circulation that promote their theories about the plot to take over the world.
