Mexico the real Narco state

[Sky727]

A Marine friend of mine once said, " We need to put our military on the southern borders and have them move south cleaning out the cartels and crooks. Maybe stop around the Panama canal which would be a real border we could defend." 

There are no doubt many Mexican nationals who would appreciate the helping hand... No not all as those who depend on the drug trade would not be happy. I met one of the body guards for some big wig in the Gulf Cartel; nice unassuming guy who exercised/ran every day and would not eat red meat??

The head of security for Los Zetas was a cousin of a girl I used to know. She grew up with him and said he was always very nice to the family. He had only been shot in the leg " just once " in all the years with Los Zetas ..

With the bought and paid for politicians and law enforcement on both sides of the border maybe my Marine friend way back when had the answer ? 

The Mexican Marine commander in Matamoros, Mexico  was receiving a monthly payment from one of the Cartels (long time ago so I do not remember which cartel it was only the were just about shutting Matamoros down.. If you drove a bus, owned a business, or anything else to include being a real estate agent  they wanted their share of your money... No pay and no life for you; they were always smart as all you have to do is kill a few and the rest get the idea..... So a new Cartel wanted to move into Matamoros and offered the Marine Major more monthly income if he would remove the current Cartel leadership.. Tony the Terrible was his name if I remember correctly so with two APCs one with a (I was told) Quad 50 cal machine gun; to me that is anti-aircraft fire power ??) and over 100 Mexican troops they hit Tony's hacienda killing him and a few of his pistoleros... Not all were killed as two escaped and went to Houston, Texas as they carried duel citizenship. 

Most people really have no idea just how strong and entrenched the Cartels and underworld of crime and dirty deeds are in the world. 

7 and 13 year old kids were killed execution style along with their mom and dad put in plastic bags and left knowing the smell would finally make someone notice.

I always figured TPTB do not want any outside law enforcement messing with the way things are set up in Chicago as it has been a major cartel drug distribution center for as long as I can remember.  Looks like the rats are going to have a lot to squeal about if Trump carries out his clean up of that  cesspool of government sanctioned drugs and crime.

Alleged Leader of Sinaloa Cartel Faction Indicted in Chicago on Terrorism, Drug Trafficking, and Firearm Charges

 
A federal grand jury has indicted an alleged leader of a violent faction of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico on terrorism, drug, and firearm charges, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise.
According to the superseding indictment returned yesterday in the Northern District of Illinois, Oscar Manuel Gastelum Iribe, 50, of Sinaloa, Mexico, also known as El Musico, directed the importation of large quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, and other drugs — at times in shipments of hundreds or thousands of kilograms — into the United States on behalf of the Beltran Leyva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
“As alleged, Oscar Manuel Gastelum Iribe led a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel that flooded the United States with fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin and used murder and intimidation to protect its profits,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Matthew R. Galeotti of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “The Sinaloa Cartel has been designated a foreign terrorist organization because of the kinds of crimes announced today. This indictment further demonstrates that the Criminal Division will use every tool at its disposal to target cartel leaders, including by holding them accountable for acts of terrorism against our country.”

United Cartels PANIC After Trump’s DEA Intercepts $100M Narcotics Shipment In Tennessee Trump’s DEA just pulled off a massive bust in Tennessee, intercepting a $100 million narcotics shipment tied to the United Cartels. This kind of seizure doesn’t just take drugs off the streets—it rips directly into cartel profits and shakes their supply chains across the border. The panic is real as cartel leaders scramble to cover their losses, silence informants, and figure out how U.S. intelligence traced the operation. Tennessee wasn’t picked by accident either—it’s a key corridor for cartel distribution into the Midwest and East Coast. With this takedown, Trump’s DEA is sending a loud message: every route is vulnerable, every deal is under watch, and even the most secure shipments can be flipped overnight.

47,000 pounds of Coke has been taken away from the Cartels in just Tennessee; just say no ain't working !

They need to be hit. They need to be hit so hard they'll never know they've been hit, as they're dead. Dead Afghan style, Tora Bora style. Level every house they have with bunker busters. An elimination so severe that there isn't enough to scoop up into a bag.

For the Mexican cartels?  

So by "Afghan Style" you mean bring in private mercenaries to protect the poppy fields so they could secure future revenue for the privatized US prisons they also run?  allegedly..

And you can still buy your crack, smack, and bitch in Hollywood.

As for specific targets, I don't think Mexico would appreciate bombing the the border neighborhoods like that. A bunker buster in Zona Norte isn't a good look..

That is a lot of owned buildings on each side of the fence too.  Youd be bombing equal parts the house in TJ where the tunnel begins and the Buy-4-Less Outlet store on The USA side where it ends.
