Now that the turf war between the Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel (who teamed up with CDG – Cartel Del Golfo) intensified, both sides appear to have stepped the game up a notch in the display of brutality and fear-spreading. More than 50,000 people were killed in Narco related hits since president Felipe Calderon launched his war against drug cartels five years ago so this is nothing new on the Mexican scene, but it really looks as though over the past few weeks, things got significantly worse

Recently, El Chapo Guzman – leader of the world’s largest and most powerful drug trafficking organization – the Sinaloa Cartel ordered execution of captured Zeta operatives and left a message for Zeta leaders Heriberto Lazcano and Z-40 that he intends to wipe their organization out. Los Zetas left 9 bodies hanging from a bridge to show that they are skilled killers and have no intentions to give their lucrative turf up. El Chapo then ordered beheading of more people to let officials from Nuevo Laredo know that the Sinaloa Cartel has strong presence in the area and intends to take it fully under their control. And just as these killings were happening, bodies of 49 butchered individuals were found on a highway near Cadereyta.

In another recent video in which members of the Gulf Cartel execute two Zeta operatives with gunshots to the heads, the captions mentioned “Comandante Diablo y Rey de Reyes” (Commander Diablo and King of Kings). The same caption is used in the title of the latest video which is a compilation of a few incredibly brutal beheadings. The title reads:

Comandante Diablo y Rey de Reyes Acabando con los Zetas

Which translate in English as:

Commander Diablo and King of Kings finishing with Los Zetas

The video starts with a footage of a woman beheading a man alive. Sounds the man makes after knife slits his throat and blood clogs up his trachea is one of the worst of all beheadings I’ve ever seen. It’s even worse than noises Eugene Armstrong made when he was being beheaded. Since the woman had troubles severing the spine, she was handed a huge machete to finish the beheading with. Each blow to the spine with that massive blade made already dead man’s arms twitch.

As the woman gets down to beheading another man, her accomplices help her out by using the huge machete to dismember him. The man is naked and as accomplices continue chopping limbs up at each major joint, the woman once again has trouble severing the spine. Machete to the rescue one more time.

As happened with the first beheaded man, after his head was shown to the camera, it was dropped on the ground like an empty beverage can.

In order to make the beheading of the third man easier, the woman shoved her dagger up his mouth to tilt the head backwards, which allowed for her accomplice to chop at the spine with more room. After the decapitation the headless man is stripped off his pants and large Z is carved into his abdominal area.

Last part of the video was filmed elsewhere because two men awaiting execution are on the green, not in a dirt. As the beheading of the man in white shirt starts, he gives off truly painful screams. His beheading is slow and agonizingly painful. They turn him over but it still takes a long time to get the decapitation properly underway. He doesn’t even have his hands tied but he knows there’s no escaping for him so no attempts are made and he just takes what he’s served.

As the executioners start chopping at his spine with the machete, the twitches of the nerves in his arms make for a very gut wrenching display.

The video definitely ranks right up there as one of the goriest in existence. Don’t watch if you’re easily upset. Viva la Mexico. Many thanks to about 70 Best Gore members who sent or requested this video.

English translation of what is being said by the executioners in the video (thanks Needalight):

After first beheading: This is what is going to happen to all the fuckers who are with the Zetass in Yera, De Mante, Victoria, Santa Ingracia del Barretal. This is how all you fuckers are going to end up, courtesy of the Commander el Diablo, and King of Kings. After second beheading: There goes another one 40 (Miguel Treviño Morales), how many more do you want dead? How many more of these fuckers are you going to send to infiltrate? The same as these fuckers that you pay $2,000 dollars a week to, and they can’t even afford nice clothes. There you go, so you won’t say he wasn’t a fucking Zeta, he is going to have his own letter marked (cuts a Z on him). Oh and if you didn’t know, run assholes, because we already killed everyone who lives there. Got the family, and the houses. There you go, they can’t even last a couple a slaps to the face. Before the last beheading: Look at him, look at him, where you are going to shoot him. Shoots him in the head. I’ts your turn now. The other one, kill him alive… Get down. After the beheading: This is what is going to happen to all the bastard dogs who support the Zetas. Courtesy of all of us.
