The DEA & Sinoloa Drug Cartel

An investigation by El Universal found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs while Sinaloa provided information on rival cartels.

Sinaloa, led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, supplies 80% of the drugs entering the Chicago area and has a presence in cities across the U.S.

(This post has caused many to interpret that the U.S. government is actively supporting Sinaloa. That has not been established, despite claims by Zambada-Niebla's lawyer and Stratfor's source. What El Universal's investigation and the newly published court documents reveal is that there was a strong correlation from 2005 and 2009 between the rise of the Sinaloa cartel and the DEA's relatively regular contact with a top Sinaloa lawyer.)

America sends planes, attack helicopters, and thousands of troops to any Middle East flare up, yet cannot be bothered to secure the border.

Our border cities like Laredo Texas, have become crime-infested, glorified refugee camps for Mexicans escaping cartel violence.

This is the result of our permanent government, agencies aligning with large corporate interests to flood America with more and more workers to increase their profits and to create more government resource consumers to feed the bureaucratic monster.

The Sinaloas have bought just about everyone in Mexico; it couldn’t possibly happen here. Like a “money honest” politician, the Feds are not working with the Sinaloas per se. The Feds just create the perfect working environment for Sinaloan ground teams, the perfect Swiss cheese border for Sinaloan smugglers, in addition to arresting the competition’s leaders and selling the Sinaloas guns.

Breitbart Texas is now working with citizen journalists who are willing to report on cartel activity and public corruption in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, immediately south of the Texas border.

'Cartel Chronicles' will help bring attention to the level of violence and corruption along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The region is controlled by warring factions of the cartel and news media has been silenced in the region. Mainstream reporters would be killed if they reported on the violence and the corruption.

“The Cartel War that stretches from the jungles of Central America to the inner city of Chicago is reshaping America in ways that ISIS can only dream about.”

“An incompetent and corrupt government, along with a muffled local media, has allowed criminal organizations to create an alternative government where the true power lies at the hands of cartel bosses.

Middle America waking up to Mexican cartel's heroin trade

Ohio is now the epicenter of this heroin revolution, with Dayton as the focus of the report.

When most Americans hear the word heroin, they probably imagine a junkie underneath a highway overpass or an aging rock star with a needle sticking out of his arm. But the face of heroin abuse and addiction in America has changed dramatically in the last few years, and Mexican cartel drug traffickers are making sure those deadly little “balloons” filled with black-tar venom get into the hands of Middle America’s youth.

According to a longform report by the Washington Post, heroin has surpassed cocaine and methamphetamine to become the number one drug threat in the United States. As a result, the cartels in Mexico that produce the substance and smuggle it across the border have adjusted in quick order to the surge in demand and modified their distribution logistics accordingly.

In 2014, more people died from drug overdoses than any year in U.S. history: 47,055. That’s more than die in car accidents — and it’s not even close.

 

Mexico manufactures the majority of heroin in the U.S.  according to a 2014 Washington Post report.

 

The media and political class respond to this fact by asking themselves: How do we blame this on Americans — preferably white males?

 

Even as Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the head of Mexico’s largest drug cartel, is all over the news boasting, “I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world” (The New York Times, Jan. 10, 2016), we’re informed, Hey, don’t blame Mexicans! It’s America’s appetite for drugs that’s driving the narcotics trade!

 

Mexicans aren’t at fault for dumping these poisons on our country because … it’s the 14-year-old American kid’s fault for getting addicted!

Criminal networks with Latin American roots, such as MS-13 and the 18th Street gang, are using the administration's open-door policy at the border to slip in recruits that are causing a huge spike in murder and violence throughout the nation, according to an immigration expert.

 

Testifying Thursday at a House hearing on the border surge of young Latinos, the expert said, "Established gangs have been able to transfer an unknown number of experienced foot soldiers from Central America to help colonize new criminal territory in the United States."

A Mexican federal congresswoman from this border state has called out the government of Coahuila over the out of control violence that reigned in that region where the Los Zetas cartel were able to carry out acts of mass extermination with complete impunity.

 

Mexican congresswoman Karla Osuna called out former Coahuila Governor Humberto Moreira and his party, the Revolutionary Institutional Party (PRI), for allowing organized crime groups like Los Zetas to run wild in his region.

 

From 2011 to 2013, Los Zetas systematically exterminated close to 400 victims whose bodies were incinerated in clandestine ovens or 55-gallon drums.

 

The former governor mentioned by Osuna in a prepared statement, is the brother of current governor Ruben Moreira.  Humberto Moreira is the target of an ongoing investigation in Spain tied to his links with organized crime.

A well-connected Mexican tycoon stashes a fortune overseas

 

One of Mexico’s wealthiest tycoons, a burly civil engineer who built his fortune on government contracts, sought to conceal his wealth in this past year in an elaborate chain of offshore trusts and companies.

 

Juan Armando Hinojosa Cantú has a golden touch at winning government business, and has become successful under the protective wing of President Enrique Peña Nieto.

 

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, left, shakes hands with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto following a joint statement to the press in Mexico City, Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016. Biden led a high-level U.S. delegation for annual talks on boosting economic and commercial ties with Mexico, one of the United States' top trading partners.

 

The reform agenda of President Enrique Peña Nieto was so ambitious that Time Magazine put him on its cover of an edition on February 24, 2014 under the headline: Saving Mexico. Peña Nieto has largely disappointed his countrymen, some of whom question his commitment to fighting corruption.
