    The reason the U.S. seems to not "care" about the drug war in Mexico is because the U.S. Govt is in on it as well. Plain n simple.

    Know Ed well since he was a teen in Tijuana , he had a band with my kids, he went through hell as state police officer, many of his fellow police officers got killed right in front of him. There was a kill order placed on his head by the Arellano Felix brothers. I'm just glad he survived the terrible years of the Arellano Felix cartel Tijuana was on fire, great job of interviewing him Koncrete.

      @@revertinthemaking You're upset that they live in Mexico and know about the atrocities cartels commit?? The fact of the matter is, China IS supporting countries going through financial and governmental turmoil. Angola, Pakistan, and Nicaragua are some examples. An official website for their government states, "China is firmly committed to developing its relationship with Nicaragua and supporting Nicaragua's efforts to safeguard its sovereignty, independence, and national dignity and Nicaragua's independent choice of development path, and will continue to uphold justice on issues related to Nicaragua." *_Hilarious_* when you see what they have done in Hong Kong. Winston Churchill said it best. "I cannot forecast to you the action of Russia. It is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest." Though this is speaking about Russia, the same could be said for any global power, I suppose.

And he basically told me in so many words that our corporation or some people in it are involved in trafficking drugs from Mexico in company semi trucks. And you could tell he wasn't bullshitting.

    As 1st generation Mexican American, I find Ed Calderon extremely interesting. I have traveled around the world. I live in California, but have gone to other us states on work trips. I have a lot similar experiences as Ed. I read and speak Spanish well enough to blend in Mexico but at the same time I'm college educated here in the US with two degrees. My family is from Zacatecas where cartel violence is at a all time high. When I visit my family, I have to be twice as aware of my surroundings than here in the US. Very interesting pod cast for me, which everything he says is true.

      BS, screw your DRUG war! It has been going on for 40 years and it has accomplished Jack SH!!! The only reason that it continues is the non-legalization o within the United States. IF, you take the reason away you have no one that will be trafficking drugs. You are spewing the same PROPAGANDA I have heard over the last 40 years! STOP!!!!!!!!!! YOU TRASH!!!!! STUPID PLEBS!!!!!!!!!!! WAKE THE F*(&^ UP!!!!!! LEGALIZE IT ALL!!!!!!!! AND IT WILL SOLVE ITSELF!!!! Drugs have been around since the beginning of time. People are capable of eventually figuring it out! So....again you stupid fools need to stop! Please stop your PROPAGANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Weird, I can attack his faith, and I am Mexican too. Maybe not from Tijuana, but from Rosarito which at the time of my birth it was part of Tijuana. And to my knowledge, people in Tijuana are not attached to death. Those are traditions from the south of Mexico. And the Santa muerte is something that is relatively new in Mexico as in even though it has existed for many years, it was not openly admitted much less accepted within religions.
    Lately, it has been mostly popularized by cartels and that sort of people.
    And old case that comes to mind regarding Santa muerte and Santeria is the case of constanzo from Tamaulipas I believe, in the 80s. There are a couple of movies based on that story called "border town".

      Ed Calderon is not the best guy to talk about Mexican drug cartels. This guy was just a low level security guard that arrested some low level drug dealers. He never was involved in any significant way with fighting the drug cartel, just regular Mexico crime that anyone in Mexico who works a security guard job can encounter.

      However; that along with those same large scale organization probably wouldn't let leave you to your good health if you highlight their endeavors.
      Why it's been decades and a reasonable approach on how to tax everyone equally and ensure the illegals pay federal taxes is continually suppressed.
      They're not coming to another country because of the weather. I assure you; people are not migrating from South America to Canada for the weather and scenery.

    I seriously thought about this 6 months ago while getting to grips with my situation with fentanyl and how I could swallow 20 a day and not feel anything but “normal”…I experienced the “chasing the high” thing cause I never got high with any opiates again. But anyways I thought of it now that I’m on methadone treatment and thought (since I’m a combat veteran) what if China is literally sending this shit out to get to the US thru cartels and mail etc, to not make money since we’re trillions in debt to them anyway, but to knock us off our feet and make a huge population addicted to gent and analogs. It would create one of the biggest economic crises and security problems I could seriously think of, yeah isis, yeah kkk, yeah COVID, but get ppl addicted?? Workers can’t work, soldiers can’t soldier, teachers can’t teach, etc… that’s where you can REALLY start to gain power and get into the politics

      Yea that's what the British did to China as a war tactic and a way to gain another country's good and land... get em all doped up, lazy, sick, and unmotivated to do anything for any other reason than to get high is a great distraction and tactic.
      During the First Opium War (1839-1842), the British government resorted to “gunboat diplomacy” to force the Chinese government to keep the ports in Shanghai, Canton and elsewhere open to trade. China ceded Hong Kong to the British in the Treaty of Nanking following the First Opium War.
      The Second Opium War
      During the Second Opium War (1856-1860), the British and French joined forces against China to make the opium trade legal in China, and to extract further concessions (including the right to own property) from the Chinese emperor’s family.
      Despite the European success in opening China to trade, many in Europe, China and elsewhere considered the Opium Wars-and the resulting spread of opium addiction-a villainous and immoral use of military power.

      No bro, the fact is, the US is filled with a culture that promotes and encourages drug use. And Ed is a little off, since the Chinese got kicked out of Mexico in droves about a year back, they had a huge presence in port cities. Lastly, what the US populace fails to consider is that there are many narco gringos which function as independent contractors to the major cartels, funny thing is, when they get caught they rarely face jail time, they're not publicly displayed on the news, and tend to turn informant. The rise of narco gringos is a major reason why drug production has also increased stateside, and made easier through legal fronts, such as weed stores.

    All the way back to 1996, when a huge shipment of AK-47s were seized from a COSCO ship in the Port of Oakland.

    I think what I appreciate most about Ed is that, his intelligence extends to the street, and the real world pier here there are plenty of brilliant minds in the world, but not all of them, can survive in the most dangerous cities on the planet.
    Beyond that, I purchased a Santa Muerte prayer card that he collaborated on with the leader of the holy Mountain, spiritual temple, hoodoo Moses. It is one of my most prized possessions

    I believe if the U.S labels the cartel a “terrorist” organization this also gives opportunity for thousands of Mexicans to seek asylum in the U.S

      Yes exactly that! This whole conversation about Cartels can be solved just by that damn "Label". "Terrorists" boom, suddenly now Mexican citizens can seek asylum, business can be investigated, borders can be shut/given priority. Trade routes can be blocked, embargos can be placed. Witness protection can be offered. Raids can commence, anything and everything can happen. However, politically, in the U.S, people don't want any more immigrants for some reason. There's Venezuelan citizens pouring into the North East. There's lots of sketch things going on man
