Man this is kind of boring I don’t want to hear the basic details that we all know, you need to figure a way how to make me feel like I’m at the edge of my seat not like I’m in the office with that guy! Also need videos and pictures simultaneously to make the video better and not to boaring!
If we care so much about stopping addiction we should start with the pharmaceutical industry who has children high on pills at a young age. Then they get to an adult age and transform to “illegal” drugs rather than the “legal” ones prescribed by a doctor. Big example is adderall. All of college I noticed the kids who really get into cocaine often times are the ones who have been on adderall for most of their lives.
You are so right 👍 I agree 💯... What's sad is in America, you can get methamphetamine salts through a monthly subscription just like paying your cell phone or Netflix bill. There's an entire multiple generations now, since , 2000 addicted and have their brains forever changed by Adderall which is just a mixture of Amphetamine salts... I won't associate or involve myself with people struggling with active monster addictions, as I am not a social worker, I'm not a drug counselor, If people need professional help, there is help, You have to want to change... Unfortunately millions of Americans due to social media and the entertainment industry is on the same drugs they claim to be against. I.E.Ariana Grande, Mac Miller, Prince I believe someone murdered him to get to his royalties and millions... How does a full bottle of Hydrocodone which is relatively safe, get one single pill laced out of 30 or more ... With a super deadly dose of fentanyl...
As Americans I think we need to clean up pedophiles. If we wanna stop people from becoming drug addicted we need to take a look at our pharmaceutical industry who starts giving children pills at such young ages which I’ve noticed especially in the college age then changes to other addictions. A lot of kids who are prescribed adderall later turn to cocaine.
Okay guys as a Mexican-American who travels to home state of Guanajuato I have seen the Chinese in Mexico for as long as manufacturing started. I can only speak for what I’ve seen but in Guanajuato but the CEOs of alot of factories are Chinese. My relatives casually mention how their bosses are Chinese.
I’m surprised he didn’t mention the farming in Mexico, the cartels and the Chinese are taking over farms in MX too. When you buy an avocado guess who gets paid?
I live on the Mexican border El Paso and Juarez and I see this stuff going down every day I ride a motorcycle I can cross that border I see it going over there I see it on this side also so that's because our government has let it go down. In many ways it's a joke really
@@benjohnson857how many corrupted chinese students that look like bunch of high flyers are in it? In Canada there's a HK dude that killed chopped up this real estate lady from Toronto. Two real estate agents murdered in span of like one month which never happens. I kn for sure when chinese people see money. They go nuts. That real estate looks like she got family that didn't know what she was doing and got murdered. Dude dipped and went to HK. Most likely triad. And every chinese/Cantonese speaker knows HK was heavily controlled by chinese triads which have ties with mexican cartels. Alot of them do speak Cantonese as well
Is this true or is it propaganda? How come non of these guys ever acknowledge that Raegan gave cia associates permission to sell the cocain that fueled the crack epidemic. Or that Kiki Camarena discovered cia involvement cartels and then tortured and killed him. The cartel kidnapped him but the spooks did the rest. I mean without going too crazy Obama and Holder sent assault weapons to the Sinaloa cartel. Operation Fast and Furious. The biggest drug dealer may be ever Ismael el Mayo Zambada was "kidnapped" by el Chapos son and turned over to the FBI. Zambadas brother and son got slaps on the hands for being top level drug dealers. Genaro García Luna is a former Mexican government official, engineer, and convicted drug trafficker. He served as Secretary of Public Security in the federal cabinet of Felipe Calderón. Garcia Luna had cia clearance. China did it

One could argue that having the war on drugs, in other words “prohibition on everything other than ALCOHOL and TOBACCO” is the entity that should be responsible for homicides, government doesn’t want to tailor drug availability to citizens who have a right to ingest whatever they want to so they make drugs the Pagan and move on leading to us blaming the addicts or distributors…..?????????????
I grew up in a small town and the dare program was my first introduction to drugs and to be honest it just made me more curious and led me to try things. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
@@lvxleather I call BS on that. 2 cops running the DARE program at my sons small school took extra time to mentor him at my request and because of that he's a K9 unit here in Texas trying to seriously mentor other kids so they don't end up getting arrested or overdosing on the ungodly amounts of fentanyl and other drugs plaguing Texas (and the US).

I've been saying this is the modern day opium wars for years now. Well its not the UK you say...? In the mid to late 1800's the UK had the biggest navy on the globe, since WW2 it's been the US...while China plays the long game. How else would every other drug have a global demand besides fentanyl if it wasn't so deliberate?
As a former California Narcotics Agent who still works in the law enforcement field, this was the most accurate and honest interviews I’ve seen related to this. A trend law enforcement is very late in the game with but is now focusing on are the Chinese groups. Chinese organized crime has been super active with Mexican drug cartels for more than two decades. Spot on with Chinese money laundering. I will disagree with one thing he said. Mexican President elect Scheinbaum has already made a public statement (August 15 2024)that there will not be a war on narcotic organizations. Her party “Morena” is very extreme leftist. So I do not anticipate a change in policy in working with the U.S. in this. The difference with her and the current President is she is 100 times smarter.. Great job Mr. Vargas and now retired SAC Donovan. SAC Donovan was again, outstanding and I appreciate his candid responses. In another note, Being a wrestling dad myself of a college D1 wrestler, I’ve always taught my son, stay away from the pain meds..
They passed a bag of drywall around in my school for the D.A.R.E. program. And it became a joke that people were getting high on drywall. Yep... Plastered. Badabumps.. all that
Obviously you don't have the background that Vince or any of his guests have. Shake and bake crude meth production, and there is no ban on Sudafed You just have to be a law abiding citizen and have a license to get it behind the pharmacy counter. You clearly have no idea what volume means... What's the real crime is the American government and pharmaceutical industry monopoly... If in just the U.S.A pharm companies spend hundreds of billions of dollars... If the DEA would have just gotten people on opioid maintenance therapy instead of people using street drugs... They could have fixed the problem before it snowballed.... Instead, people with chronic pain can't even get opioid pain medication, And worse than that. The US pharmaceutical companies blame Mexico. At some point, people must realize with fentanyl and fentanyl analogues they are 100-1000x more potent than morphine and heroin.... When people have down regulated their receptors to the point that has happened. No amount of maintenance therapy will save them... Abstinence, ketamine therapy(for those on Tranq), The American people deserve solutions. Not tossing the problem onto Mexico. With the 100,000+ dead due to the opioid epidemic.... Things do not look good. Opium Wars vs Fentanyl and Fentanyl Analogue (super synthetics) have literally no comparison...
100% correct. Never involved with meth personally I do know many criminals, I'm an ex con, I remember them talking at length about the business. And I heard the same story again and again.
So what your saying is that they should have keep letting smurfs buy pseudoephedrine and let our drug companies make the money instead of pushing them to china for chemicals
Fuckig alot. With social media you see what's happening. Imagine how many Venezuelans crossing border are all involved. Can't imagine how many borders officers getting life threatened if they don't let smugglers through. Reason why Obama and Mexican leader came to Ottawa 10 years ago. They knew this shit was coming. And the amount cash being exchanged. Fucking insane
IT would also be good if you could invite to talk the mexican reporter Anabel Hernandez, she has been investigating and writting about the repationship between cartels and polytics, goverment oficials, bussness men, enterteinment people, all of it. She has writteng books about all of her work, has access to court documents, interviews etc. It could be another perspective on this problem.
Someone in my family became a K9 narcotics because of the DARE program he went through at his school in the 90's. Its sad funding was taken out school budgets so now they rely mainly on donations and fund raisers to keep the program going. They need a lot more help now.
Dare program did work surprisingly most kids that went thru dare at school ended up on drugs, it’s actually starting to make a comeback but schools haven’t had dare come in since the early 2000s so all my years of school(2003-2017) I didn’t have one dare program show up to school, now dare is showing back up but in mostly poverty areas
Well DARE worked for a family member of mine who became a K9 narcotics unit as an adult. Never done a drug in his life all but for a surgery he had to have. Been at it now for 9 years Funding for DARE was taken out of schools so now DARE relies on fund raisers and donations
@@2MartSaarIts a program where law enforcement and health care workers educate kids on the dangers of drugs. Will help link kids and families up to help. DARE stands for DRUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION
@@cathyvain7046 oh wow one person you know out of the hundreds that were in school with you at the same time the fact is most kids who attended a dare assembly at school ended up using drugs that’s why it failed and was cut from funding they wouldn’t have cut the funding if it worked that’s the thing
Chinese sure are showing up in south central Texas city neighborhoods and I don't believe them to be ones that turned themselves into POE or could be but either way its in small groups. My area they stay low but not low enough to know that we don't know that they aren't here if that makes sense.
Were those femicides mentioned in the opening theme murdered directly by a cartel, or independent criminals who may have done some work for the Cartels as associates?
The femicide honestly was a whole collective of random criminal entities organizations and individuals who would target similar looking females , most of the time , so it can’t be pined on a sole organization, but word is that the cartel based in Juarez might have ahem or definitively inspired the violence , but don’t get it twisted because the USA has its fair share of thrill seekers and complete psychopaths particularly the “crusade” kind if u kno what I mean
If we legalize all drugs suddenly the price comes down and the cartels no longer can generate so much profit as they do now. I do not understand why are we prohibiting certain substances when we have other substances which are just as lethal if not more deadly. People have the right to choose what they put in their body. Government prohibition is causing this chaos. Cartels did not exist in the 50s when all drugs were legal. They came into existence after the war on drugs began.
Why not administrate? The government made war on drugs; not winning, but has got worse.. So administrate & demonetization by giving quality narcotics free( addicts sign contract=free drugs/life-sentence if guilty creating a new addict with supply?)
"my hope is that the new president will address the corruption, Sheinbaum" That is an insane take, considering the government benefits directly from the cartels either from the instability they create which allows the government to take away more and more freedoms and become more militarized against its citizens, almost never against cartels, or by using them as their strong arm to do their dirty work.
Okay buddy I'm gonna tell you something as a Mexican born and raised IN MEXICO, but it's gonna be in Spanish because it's a lot of sht to discuss, you can translate it or ignore it, it depends if you are a self thinking guy or just another sheep. This is the other side of the coin: El único gobierno que se beneficia de la inestabilidad de México es el gobierno estadounidense, a caso escuchas lo que dices? De qué manera te beneficia que tú propia población esté en tu contra? Nosotros los mexicanos no vemos el trabajo de nuestros militares como una militarización, para nosotros es un orgullo tener a nuestros chicos protegiéndonos, el mexicano no le es fiel a su gobierno, le somos fieles a nuestros militares, nuestra bandera, nuestro escudo de armas, y nuestro himno nacional. Si el día de mañana ocurre una invasión a nuestro territorio ten por seguro que más del 80% de mexicanos nos uniriamos por una causa en común, sin importar estrato social, color, religión o si eres parte de un cartel, soldado, policía o un estudiante de primaria, todos los mexicanos patriotas estamos respuestos a morir en la raya, ya no estamos en 1846 donde solamente 7,000 mexicanos fueron los que defendieron nuestro territorio en la invasión estadounidense, ahora somos +100 millones en edad militar dispuestos a todo. Ahora si juntas todo lo que está pasando te darás cuenta el por qué nuestros gobernantes no tienen miedo de las repercusiones que cualquier país externo haga en contra de nuestro país, porque saben que aunque sean unas ratas corruptas nada está por encima de nuestra soberanía nacional y el mexicano promedio está dispuesto a aceptar la corrupción de su gobernante si eso significa mantener al invasor fuera de nuestras tierras. Aquí el error del gobierno estadounidense es tratar de poner a los mexicanos en contra de nuestro gobierno, porque la mayoría de nosotros ya lo estamos, lo único que provoca es que cada vez más haya aceptación hacia el narcotráfico y más gente vea a los carteles como salvadores o al menos no tan malos siempre y cuando dañen a nuestro enemigo en común, el cual el gobierno estadounidense se esfuerza por serlo para la mayoría de nosotros. Para solucionar esto hay solo un camino, que el gobierno estadounidense se ocupe de sus propios asuntos y atienda a su población erradicando las causas psicológicas y familiares de la drogadicción, para de esa manera aparte de eliminar (o reducir) la demanda de droga, nosotros en México podamos hacer nuestro trabajo de erradicar a esas escorias y poder exigir a nuestro gobierno acciones al respecto ya sea por las buenas o por las malas Miren la historia de México, nosotros mismos somos capaces de derrocar a nuestros malos gobiernos y de buscar un mejor futuro para nuestra descendencia, pero la intervención estadounidense solo hace lo contrario pues nosotros sabemos cuáles son sus verdaderas intenciones; o me dirás qué la droga se distribuye mágicamente una vez que cruza la frontera!?, Me dirás qué el tema de la droga, la frontera y los migrantes no son herramientas políticas para ganar elecciones? Por qué crees que ningún político estadounidense hace verdaderamente algo al respecto más allá de palabrería en tiempos electorales? Ambos gobiernos están hasta el cuello de corrupción y de lazos con los carteles. Y repito, el problema aquí es que el gobierno estadounidense hecha toda la culpa sobre México y los mexicanos sin tomar su propia responsabilidad en cuenta, y ESO es lo que causa un sentimiento anti-estadounidense en México que crece cada día más con cada discurso político de odio en nuestra contra, y quién es el mayor enemigo de los Estados Unidos? China, y como dice un dicho por ahí "el enemigo de mi enemigo es mi amigo", tan solo mira el desfile militar mexicano del 2023 cuando las tensiones estaban al máximo por declaraciones de los republicanos acerca de invadir México, la gente hizo ovación a los militares rusos y chinos que asistieron a nuestro desfile y se marcó un bando en la mente de muchos de nosotros. Yo tengo 19 años y la mayoría de jóvenes de mi edad estamos tramitando nuestra cartilla militar para defender a nuestra nación en caso de una inminente invasión (lo que en pocas palabras significa que ahora mismo la mayoría de la población se pondría del lado de los carteles en el minuto uno en que algo así de inicio), y no solo la gente de escasos recursos se está enlistando, ni solo los que alaban la narcocultura, incluso tengo amigos que sin problema podrían irse a vivir tranquilamente a cualquier país del mundo pues gozan de riqueza económica y aún así se están enlistando en las reservas de nuestro ejército gracias al discurso de odio en nuestra contra por parte de los republicanos.
It's our own government at the top of the stream it's not hard to find out who drug dealing arrest them n give them a lot of time or tell on ur supplier easy u know wut they gunna pick every time n I bet my life government is at the end of the stream
United States should stop pharmacies from using this drug into the country especially for medical purposes. Then there's no reason for this particular drug to be in the country. Make it totally unacceptable in the country. No drugs with these side affects can truly be called medicine.
Man, monster Mexican cartel started working with the Colombians is where everything went fucked up up when the US stopped the Colombians from coming in port of entry into Florida. They started going through Mexico charging $1000 a kilo to all the Mexicans that would carry a kilo on the same route as the marijuana. It’s absolutely insane.

The U.S. economy is mainly from housing market which is impacted from the stock market. Microsoft/Apple/Google/Facebook/Nvidia/Tesla/Amazon. We are the biggest GDP with the biggest export/import to and from other countries. We don’t need drugs impacting our youth
The new head of security of the country is involved in the coverup of a murder of 43 students Students hijacked a bus transporting heroin (they were going to protest and got into a bus tansporting heroin) Drug lord sent military and police after his cargo Students were murdered This guy is involved in the coverup story that was invented. (he said he was not in the state when the event happened... there are documents that prove he was) He also recommended another cop to security director of a state after he was signaled as having ties w/org crime. He did not pass polygraph exam Internal affairs asked to have hime removed Does not have the intelligence for the tasks his job requires. ETC DO NOT SHARE INFORMATION WITH MEXICAN AUTHORITIES
Why not focused in drug dealers here in the United States? Government here is currupted too. If it focuses in the guys that are buying the drugs from the cartels the cartels won’t have buyers and if they don’t have buyers the won’t have a source of income started here in the US. Solve the problem from the inside. And eventually the outside problem would start solving by them self’s

If the DEA would have just gotten people on opioid maintenance therapy instead of people using street drugs... They could have fixed the problem before it snowballed....
Instead, people with chronic pain can't even get opioid pain medication,
And worse than that. The US pharmaceutical companies blame Mexico.
At some point, people must realize with fentanyl and fentanyl analogues they are 100-1000x more potent than morphine and heroin....
When people have down regulated their receptors to the point that has happened. No amount of maintenance therapy will save them...
Abstinence, ketamine therapy(for those on Tranq),
The American people deserve solutions.
Not tossing the problem onto Mexico.
With the 100,000+ dead due to the opioid epidemic....
Things do not look good.
Opium Wars vs Fentanyl and Fentanyl Analogue (super synthetics) have literally no comparison...
Same thing happened with the DEA restricting oxycodone and Xanax in 2011/2012…
Better to deal with the devil you know… (I guess)
100% correct. Never involved with meth personally I do know many criminals, I'm an ex con, I remember them talking at length about the business. And I heard the same story again and again.
So what your saying is that they should have keep letting smurfs buy pseudoephedrine and let our drug companies make the money instead of pushing them to china for chemicals
@@5150lefont and not making fentanly schedule 1
Ray Donovan, the Joseph Gordon Levitt of Mexican criminal experts.
Fascinating insight.
I wonder about The Chinese that work at Publix and Kroger Sushi bar
Before long China will take over BlacRock BlackStone Vanguard, etc…😂😂😂
Oh yeah thanks I just remember of that one page on Google called borderland beat they would also report on cartels. I wonder if it still exists.
America is more involved than most would like to admit its alot of money changing hands
Fuckig alot. With social media you see what's happening. Imagine how many Venezuelans crossing border are all involved. Can't imagine how many borders officers getting life threatened if they don't let smugglers through. Reason why Obama and Mexican leader came to Ottawa 10 years ago. They knew this shit was coming. And the amount cash being exchanged. Fucking insane
The current administration is actively complicit. They've facilitated all of this.
Those eyes aint innocent
China 🇨🇳 has no boundaries, scruples or standards 🤬
Whyts are worse than the Chinese
IT would also be good if you could invite to talk the mexican reporter Anabel Hernandez, she has been investigating and writting about the repationship between cartels and polytics, goverment oficials, bussness men, enterteinment people, all of it. She has writteng books about all of her work, has access to court documents, interviews etc. It could be another perspective on this problem.
Someone in my family became a K9 narcotics because of the DARE program he went through at his school in the 90's. Its sad funding was taken out school budgets so now they rely mainly on donations and fund raisers to keep the program going. They need a lot more help now.
Yet the military has zero accountability and biggest spender.
They had help from DC and Langley.
Mexico has no drug rehab😊 program China has no mental health dept,
Bro, we had a third grade reading level and he only was 500 miles from the border the whole time. Congratulations to the DEA.
They try to paint it as old news. 😢
Pierre rausini on the Matthew cox podcast has an awesome perspective on this topic y’all should check em out
Pierre- wait let me take out my notes. Haha
I think this guy and Pierre together would be good. Compare notes.
Dare program did work surprisingly most kids that went thru dare at school ended up on drugs, it’s actually starting to make a comeback but schools haven’t had dare come in since the early 2000s so all my years of school(2003-2017) I didn’t have one dare program show up to school, now dare is showing back up but in mostly poverty areas
what is a dare program??
Its a program that dares kids to resist drugs. It educates them on how bad they are and it does work.@@2MartSaar
Well DARE worked for a family member of mine who became a K9 narcotics unit as an adult. Never done a drug in his life all but for a surgery he had to have. Been at it now for 9 years Funding for DARE was taken out of schools so now DARE relies on fund raisers and donations
@@2MartSaarIts a program where law enforcement and health care workers educate kids on the dangers of drugs. Will help link kids and families up to help. DARE stands for
DRUG ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION
@@cathyvain7046 oh wow one person you know out of the hundreds that were in school with you at the same time the fact is most kids who attended a dare assembly at school ended up using drugs that’s why it failed and was cut from funding they wouldn’t have cut the funding if it worked that’s the thing
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That’s how
criminals operating with criminals have no friends, just common illicit interests.
Iran and PRC China are friends while China commits genocide of Muslims in China? Iran must be an enemy to islam.
Exactly
Pure gold
Éducation, prévention, awareness ❤
Chinese sure are showing up in south central Texas city neighborhoods and I don't believe them to be ones that turned themselves into POE or could be but either way its in small groups. My area they stay low but not low enough to know that we don't know that they aren't here if that makes sense.
Curious you two gentleman's thoughts? I've suffered since 12, I'm 38. It could work I believe.
Absolutely they use groups as a distraction.
If you don't think the Democrats are getting a laundered cut of this, you've been dancing at the debutante's ball way too long.🥴
As a Democrat I’ve never received a penny of this so called laundered cut. Your Magat math failed you again.
Democrats?
Brain dead if you don’t think both sides are in on it.
Man this country is cooked.
This guy votes too smh
Of course Both Sides...But One Side It's Overwhelming..Like Night Day So Rock That MAGA Hat Support Common Sense 💯✝️🇺🇸
@@catholicconservativechican8299 where’s your proof handsome?
Finally somebody talk about Chinese mafia.
This is a good talking point
Were those femicides mentioned in the opening theme murdered directly by a cartel, or independent criminals who may have done some work for the Cartels as associates?
The femicide honestly was a whole collective of random criminal entities organizations and individuals who would target similar looking females , most of the time , so it can’t be pined on a sole organization, but word is that the cartel based in Juarez might have ahem or definitively inspired the violence , but don’t get it twisted because the USA has its fair share of thrill seekers and complete psychopaths particularly the “crusade” kind if u kno what I mean
Now it's sad when it's being done to you and your kids
It's being done around the world.
supply and demand. how do we address the insatiable demand of Americans?
Hahaja best comment
Can answer in one word. Money.
The only way to stop it, is to quit using. "PERIOD " That's the only way to stop this BS...
Bullshit
Bro sounds mad PTSD
Lessss go .. let me get some yeeeee
If the government is so concerned why don’t they do something about the problem? I forgot, they have to get their cut…..
Before US fentanyl was big in Estonia, back in 2001 - present
If there is always a demand then there will always be a supply
That was quite the dance around the truth there
If we legalize all drugs suddenly the price comes down and the cartels no longer can generate so much profit as they do now. I do not understand why are we prohibiting certain substances when we have other substances which are just as lethal if not more deadly. People have the right to choose what they put in their body. Government prohibition is causing this chaos. Cartels did not exist in the 50s when all drugs were legal. They came into existence after the war on drugs began.
DEA must have missed 2010 San Francisco new "blue heroin" was everywhere.
Sex and drugs are among the most sought-after commodities globally, and as a result, they'll never disappear...
Wise words
Why not administrate? The government made war on drugs; not winning, but has got worse.. So administrate & demonetization by giving quality narcotics free( addicts sign contract=free drugs/life-sentence if guilty creating a new addict with supply?)
What is PRC??
Chinese Government ~ Peoples Republic of China
Ed Calderon been saying this
In some ways but this dude Donavan comes off like a clown. Ed is actually knowleageable. This podcast was a waste of my time.
"my hope is that the new president will address the corruption, Sheinbaum" That is an insane take, considering the government benefits directly from the cartels either from the instability they create which allows the government to take away more and more freedoms and become more militarized against its citizens, almost never against cartels, or by using them as their strong arm to do their dirty work.
Okay buddy I'm gonna tell you something as a Mexican born and raised IN MEXICO, but it's gonna be in Spanish because it's a lot of sht to discuss, you can translate it or ignore it, it depends if you are a self thinking guy or just another sheep. This is the other side of the coin:
El único gobierno que se beneficia de la inestabilidad de México es el gobierno estadounidense, a caso escuchas lo que dices? De qué manera te beneficia que tú propia población esté en tu contra?
Nosotros los mexicanos no vemos el trabajo de nuestros militares como una militarización, para nosotros es un orgullo tener a nuestros chicos protegiéndonos, el mexicano no le es fiel a su gobierno, le somos fieles a nuestros militares, nuestra bandera, nuestro escudo de armas, y nuestro himno nacional. Si el día de mañana ocurre una invasión a nuestro territorio ten por seguro que más del 80% de mexicanos nos uniriamos por una causa en común, sin importar estrato social, color, religión o si eres parte de un cartel, soldado, policía o un estudiante de primaria, todos los mexicanos patriotas estamos respuestos a morir en la raya, ya no estamos en 1846 donde solamente 7,000 mexicanos fueron los que defendieron nuestro territorio en la invasión estadounidense, ahora somos +100 millones en edad militar dispuestos a todo. Ahora si juntas todo lo que está pasando te darás cuenta el por qué nuestros gobernantes no tienen miedo de las repercusiones que cualquier país externo haga en contra de nuestro país, porque saben que aunque sean unas ratas corruptas nada está por encima de nuestra soberanía nacional y el mexicano promedio está dispuesto a aceptar la corrupción de su gobernante si eso significa mantener al invasor fuera de nuestras tierras.
Aquí el error del gobierno estadounidense es tratar de poner a los mexicanos en contra de nuestro gobierno, porque la mayoría de nosotros ya lo estamos, lo único que provoca es que cada vez más haya aceptación hacia el narcotráfico y más gente vea a los carteles como salvadores o al menos no tan malos siempre y cuando dañen a nuestro enemigo en común, el cual el gobierno estadounidense se esfuerza por serlo para la mayoría de nosotros.
Para solucionar esto hay solo un camino, que el gobierno estadounidense se ocupe de sus propios asuntos y atienda a su población erradicando las causas psicológicas y familiares de la drogadicción, para de esa manera aparte de eliminar (o reducir) la demanda de droga, nosotros en México podamos hacer nuestro trabajo de erradicar a esas escorias y poder exigir a nuestro gobierno acciones al respecto ya sea por las buenas o por las malas
Miren la historia de México, nosotros mismos somos capaces de derrocar a nuestros malos gobiernos y de buscar un mejor futuro para nuestra descendencia, pero la intervención estadounidense solo hace lo contrario pues nosotros sabemos cuáles son sus verdaderas intenciones; o me dirás qué la droga se distribuye mágicamente una vez que cruza la frontera!?, Me dirás qué el tema de la droga, la frontera y los migrantes no son herramientas políticas para ganar elecciones? Por qué crees que ningún político estadounidense hace verdaderamente algo al respecto más allá de palabrería en tiempos electorales?
Ambos gobiernos están hasta el cuello de corrupción y de lazos con los carteles. Y repito, el problema aquí es que el gobierno estadounidense hecha toda la culpa sobre México y los mexicanos sin tomar su propia responsabilidad en cuenta, y ESO es lo que causa un sentimiento anti-estadounidense en México que crece cada día más con cada discurso político de odio en nuestra contra, y quién es el mayor enemigo de los Estados Unidos? China, y como dice un dicho por ahí "el enemigo de mi enemigo es mi amigo", tan solo mira el desfile militar mexicano del 2023 cuando las tensiones estaban al máximo por declaraciones de los republicanos acerca de invadir México, la gente hizo ovación a los militares rusos y chinos que asistieron a nuestro desfile y se marcó un bando en la mente de muchos de nosotros. Yo tengo 19 años y la mayoría de jóvenes de mi edad estamos tramitando nuestra cartilla militar para defender a nuestra nación en caso de una inminente invasión (lo que en pocas palabras significa que ahora mismo la mayoría de la población se pondría del lado de los carteles en el minuto uno en que algo así de inicio), y no solo la gente de escasos recursos se está enlistando, ni solo los que alaban la narcocultura, incluso tengo amigos que sin problema podrían irse a vivir tranquilamente a cualquier país del mundo pues gozan de riqueza económica y aún así se están enlistando en las reservas de nuestro ejército gracias al discurso de odio en nuestra contra por parte de los republicanos.
They cut the blues with caking powder and cough syrup
The amount of imports and exports? Obviously interaction would take place. Id think.
This guy is covering something because Riki Lake will tell you a different story
what did she say?
The evil men do for silver and gold, and the power of darkness
blame the british and us. they had nothing to trade for tea, so they brought dope in. very evil anglos.
animals adapt to their enviroment. they will try and survive. we must try they dont
callled the opium wars britian started.
Every temu item is dipped in fetty before it comes over lol
It's our own government at the top of the stream it's not hard to find out who drug dealing arrest them n give them a lot of time or tell on ur supplier easy u know wut they gunna pick every time n I bet my life government is at the end of the stream
Yes, but it don’t change nothing
So, are these chemicals from China are ALL JUST for illegal drugs? Or is some of it used for cleaning agents and legal things?
Maybe military intervention isn’t the best idea but to rid the corruption in our government especially California and their ties to CCP
United States should stop pharmacies from using this drug into the country especially for medical purposes. Then there's no reason for this particular drug to be in the country. Make it totally unacceptable in the country. No drugs with these side affects can truly be called medicine.
Man, monster Mexican cartel started working with the Colombians is where everything went fucked up up when the US stopped the Colombians from coming in port of entry into Florida. They started going through Mexico charging $1000 a kilo to all the Mexicans that would carry a kilo on the same route as the marijuana. It’s absolutely insane.
I luv how these two clowns just go around the problem... "So much revenue" 😂
Again everything is made in china…..everything😮
Well they're the most skilled workers. Why you think the world shifted to Indians but the Indians literally suck at building anything. Do you see large group of westerners even eating Indian food lmao? Western chinese or chifa still preferred over any Indian food
They knocked on Riki Lake s door & told her they have the cartel inside the Government in 50 states. Trying to give her a bribe.
its all laid out in book 'one nation under blackmail'. going back to the 40s. very well researched.
China n mexico history goes back to when mexico was spain.
It affects all sectors this drug war , Soviet Union kickstarted it back in the day , continues to this day , damage done is massive
Let’s also be honest. The U.S. economy thrives with drugs. Tickets, court fees, lawyer fees ect. Let’s quit acting like we actually care.
The U.S. economy is mainly from housing market which is impacted from the stock market. Microsoft/Apple/Google/Facebook/Nvidia/Tesla/Amazon.
We are the biggest GDP with the biggest export/import to and from other countries.
We don’t need drugs impacting our youth
The new head of security of the country is involved in the coverup of a murder of 43 students
Students hijacked a bus transporting heroin (they were going to protest and got into a bus tansporting heroin)
Drug lord sent military and police after his cargo
Students were murdered
This guy is involved in the coverup story that was invented. (he said he was not in the state when the event happened... there are documents that prove he was)
He also recommended another cop to security director of a state after he was signaled as having ties w/org crime.
He did not pass polygraph exam
Internal affairs asked to have hime removed
Does not have the intelligence for the tasks his job requires.
ETC
DO NOT SHARE INFORMATION WITH MEXICAN AUTHORITIES
Mexican Govt at all levels does not want to stop Cartels cuz they are bringing money and wealth to Mexico.
Si lo que dice es verdad, la karma va feo porque aquí en Nashville, Tennessee miro mucho heroin abusadores
Is "this guy" the guy being interviewed?
Do you know the name of that documentary?
I was 10 when china white hit Baltimore and was like these guys are too high I knew it’s was mixed with something
Why not just say ‘MEXICO’ or Mexicans instead of Mexican “CARTEL”, same like saying “CHINA” or just “Chinese”?
How come this topic was not on the election agenda for 2024.
.?…
Better question, how did Japan become so tied to ISIS.
usa is tied with ISIS and japan is usa puppet aka lapdog
Why not focused in drug dealers here in the United States? Government here is currupted too. If it focuses in the guys that are buying the drugs from the cartels the cartels won’t have buyers and if they don’t have buyers the won’t have a source of income started here in the US. Solve the problem from the inside. And eventually the outside problem would start solving by them self’s
But the flow of cocaine hasn’t slowed, looks like selective prosecution to me
Hello!
And we worried about baby oil smh
