José Manuel Mireles Valverde
José Manuel Mireles Valverde (born 24 October 1958) is a Mexican medical doctor and former leader and founder of the paramilitary self-defense groups that fought against the Knights Templar Cartel and other cartels, in the state of Michoacán and others, in México.
 Mireles emerged as an important figure within the self-defense militias during the fall of 2013 as self-defense groups were fighting against the Knights Templar Cartel in Apatzingán, Tepalcatepec, and other municipalities on the Michoacán coast.
 He describes his motivation to participate in the armed self-defense groups as stemming from the abuse of the Knights Templar Cartel against himself and his family – he has himself been kidnapped by the cartel, which has also murdered several of his family members causing him to take up arms in defense of his community of Tepalcatepec.
Blog del Narco

 Additionally, "The Houston Chronicle" said that Blog del Narco is "a gritty, front-row seat to Mexico's drug war." Cartel: The Coming Invasion of Mexico's Drug Wars
Cartel: The Coming Invasion of Mexico's Drug Wars is a non-fiction book about the Mexican Drug War written by Sylvia Longmire, an independent consultant, freelance writer, and former Air Force captain.
 In her book, Longmire gives an overview of Mexico's drug war and describes the impact it has on the United States' national security.
 Drawing from her experience as an intelligence analyst of drug trafficking and border security, the author details the holes of the current drug policy of both the United States and Mexico. El Narco: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency
El Narco: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency is a non-fiction book of the Mexican Drug War written by Ioan Grillo.
 In "El Narco", Grillo takes a close look at the Mexican drug trade, starting with the term "El Narco", which has come to represent the vast, faceless criminal network of drug traffickers who cast a murderous shadow over Mexico.
 The book covers the frontline of the Mexican Drug War.
 It seeks to trace the origins of the illegal drug trade in Mexico, the recent escalation of violence, the human cost of the drug trade and organized crime in the country.
 The book takes a critical stance on the unsuccessful efforts made by the Mexican government and the United States to confront the violence and its causes. City of Ghosts (2017 film)
City of Ghosts is a 2017 American documentary film about the Syrian media activist group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently, directed by Academy Award-nominated and Emmy-winning filmmaker Matthew Heineman. 2012 Nuevo Laredo massacres
The 2012 Nuevo Laredo massacres were a series of mass murder attacks between the allied Sinaloa Cartel and Gulf Cartel against Los Zetas in the border city of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, across the U.S.-Mexico border from Laredo, Texas.
 The drug-violence in Nuevo Laredo began back in 2003, when the city was controlled by the Gulf Cartel.
 Most media reports that write about the Mexican Drug War, however, point to 2006 as the start of the drug war.
 That year is a convenient historical marker because that's when Felipe Calderón took office and carried out an aggressive approach against the cartels.
 But authors like Ioan Grillo and Sylvia Longmire note that Mexico's drug war actually began at the end of Vicente Fox's administration in 2004, when the first major battle took place in Nuevo Laredo between the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas, who at that time worked as the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel. Mexican Indignados Movement
The Mexican Indignados Movement ("Movimiento por la Paz con Justicia y Dignidad") is an ongoing protest movement that began on 28 March 2011 in response to the Mexican Drug War, government and corporate corruption, regressive economic policies, and growing economic inequality and poverty.
 The protests were called by Mexican poet Javier Sicilia in response to the death of his son in Cuernavaca.
 The protesters have called for an end to the Drug War, the legalization of drugs, and the removal of Mexican President Felipe Calderón.
 Protests have occurred in over 40 Mexican cities, including an estimated 50,000 in Cuernavaca and 20,000 in Mexico City. Norberto Miranda Madrid
According to Reporters Without Borders, Miranda was an outspoken, unwavering journalist who was targeted for his reports on the drug war at a time when the Sinaloa and Juárez cartels were battling for control over the northwestern states of Mexico, including Chihuahua, and the federal government was waging a war on those same cartels, which aggravated cartel violence against civilians and journalists.
 The international press freedom organization noted Miranda was one of 55 journalists killed in the Mexican Drug War between 2000 and 2009. Mexican Drug War
The Mexican Drug War (also known as the Mexican War on Drugs; Spanish: "guerra contra el narcotráfico en México" ) is the Mexican theater of the United States' War on Drugs, involving an ongoing low-intensity asymmetric war between the Mexican Government and various drug trafficking syndicates.
 Since 2006, when the Mexican military began to intervene, the government's principal goal has been to reduce the drug-related violence.
 The Mexican government has asserted that their primary focus is on dismantling the powerful drug cartels, rather than on preventing drug trafficking, which is left to U.S. functionaries.
