  • In this episode, we dive into the shocking story of Darnell Garcia, a former DEA agent who went from fighting crime to committing it. Garcia was once trusted to protect the public from drugs, but he chose a different path. Using the knowledge and connections he gained as a DEA agent, Garcia built a secret operation to launder money and traffic drugs. For years, he managed to hide his illegal activities, moving money and drugs across countries without getting caught. This episode reveals how Garcia’s criminal empire grew and how he was finally brought to justice.

    Nothing shocks me anymore. We had a DEA agent who lived close to us decades ago. He had a bunch of land. A huge nice barn. About 2 years after we moved in he was busted. They had a lot of stuff that he acquired from busts in his barn all over the outside of it loading it on trailers. We never see him again.

      Really appreciate your work, thank you. Most people have no clue how much damage hard drugs have done. I was a young firefighter with a great career going and going to college also until my jaw started falling apart the bones started breaking and falling apart and I had to have eight surgeries this was in 2000 and I got prescribed a bunch of high dose oxycontin and didn't know how dangerous it was and my doctors then told me that it was an addictive and that you could get off without any withdrawals at all. That oxycontin decimated my life like a atomic bomb. Which led me to heroin in 20 years of misery. I take full responsibility. But without the high doses of oxycontin my life would be so different. In that 20 years I never dealt drugs I never turned anybody else on and thankfully I never went to prison. Kept my habit low stayed out of trouble but I had a horrible just miserable life for many years. The worst part of my whole addiction was the last 2 years when I was on fentanyl those last two years or worse than all the years of heroin combined. Even when I was on heroin I could always keep up some kind of legal hustle or part-time job or something to make money whereas when I was on Fentanyl and took me down so fast so far it was horrible. And also a fentanyl being so much more horrible made me want to quit and I have been off illegal drugs for a year and a half I've been stepping down with the help of methadone first then Sublocade. It has been a long long road out of hell. And I still have a long way to go just to even feel decent again. Like I said I really appreciate the work people like you have done and did. Most people truly don't understand the magnitude set an alarm and what it is doing to our nation. Last year more people died from fentanyl overdose in Iraq Afghanistan and Vietnam war combined, just last year. In my opinion fentanyl is a plague brought on us by the Chinese for our involvement in the opium wars on them. The Chinese are the biggest suppliers of precursors for all the meth and fentanyl and now have taken over as the biggest money launderers in the world. They are eroding America and playing the long game. They have also taken and become the biggest source of black market marijuana grows in America. Be interesting to hear your opinion on these issues. God bless you 🙏

Then he was recruited by the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Justice Department where again he received superior achievement awards.

    Revolving door (politics)
    In politics, a revolving door can refer to two distinct phenomena.
    Primarily, it denotes a situation wherein personnel move between roles as legislators or regulators in the public sector, and as employees or lobbyists of industries (affected by state legislation and regulations) in the private sector. It is analogous to the movement of people in a physical revolving door, hence its name. Critics assert that such a relationship between the government and private sector can lead to conflict of interest and regulatory capture, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges between them.
    The term has also been used to refer to the constant switching and ousting of political leaders from office, such as in Australia (which changed Prime Ministers 6 times from 2007 to 2018),[1] interwar Yugoslavia, and Japan.

    Where there are druggies there are dealers and where there dealers there are drugs cartels . The drug users are the main problem .
