General Charles H. Jacoby of the Northern Command and Special Operations Command North has invited Mexican superstar Melissa Plancarte to a gala event in Washington DC. The event serves a dual purpose: a fundraiser for the recent Mexican Earthquake victims, and the launch of Melissa’s Doughnuts, the superstar’s food business, in the United States. The venture is backed by Terra Nova Ventures and HSBC, two financial firms with extensive history in the US and Mexico. General James Jacoby’s wife is a Managing Director at Terra Nova Ventures. The first US shops are expected to open in Washington DC. and Los Angeles.
In an effort to reconcile recent US-Mexican tensions, the US President and Vice-President have confirmed their attendance at the high profile event. Diplomats, including United States and Mexican Ambassadors and their staff, are also expected to be in attendance.
Shady Connections?
Ms. Plancarte is well known in Mexico as the daughter of the ex-leader of the Knights Templar Cartel. While certain conspiracy theorists have proposed that Melissa has taken over the leadership of the cartel, her paternal history has not proved to hurt her worldwide rise to fame. Her popularity in Mexico remains high and fans have expressed little concern at the possibility of her ties to cartels.
