The acronym F.U.B.A.R. means fucked up beyond all recognition!
If you have been following
, you might recall my satirical post from January 2025 - BRIAN FEJER for ABQ MAYOR 2025“I would declare a public mental health emergency focusing on the Fentynal crisis. I would call on the New Mexico Governor to activate the New Mexico National Guard to help clear the sidewalks/streets block by block and district by district.”
New Mexico governor mobilizes National Guard to tackle crime emergency in Albuquerque
One week before the New Mexico Governor made this proclamation, the city of Albuquerque made international news, with the ‘international district’ formerly known as ‘the War Zone’.
All this guy did was record Route 66, Central Ave, ABQ, NM USA

I also recently wrote about the collapse of local journalism here in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the Post - Epistemic Breach. I reached out to Mike at the KOB4 News Desk, and he asked me if I knew where he could contact this YouTube influencer. I pointed out that KOB4 has interns, news reporters, producers, it’s not my job.
With the lone brave exception of Daniel Chacon at the Santa Fe New Mexican, no Albuquerque Journalist covered an international story. Not the Albuquerque Journal, KOB4, KOAT7, KRQE13, The Paper, The Daily Lobo, and ‘not even’ New Mexico Politics with Joe Monahan.
The sensationalist criminal justice reporter for the ABQ Journal, Matt Reisen, crowed that he hopes this public health crisis means that less people will be moving to this beautiful state. Bizarre!
