  4. Of course it makes sense that this war in #Iran will affect fuel prices.
    But why did the price rise as soon as the first explosion happened?

    Easy: #Cartels and price fixing. So those greedy, already very rich people in control of this increasingly rare commodity are just waiting for the next chance to push up prices for their own pockets.

    And some idiot politicians play right into their hands.

  6. Les américains de Maga accusent le Mexique de fournir de la drogue mais ne disent pas que c'est eux qui fournissent massivement les armes aux cartels Mexicains et que c est eux qui les financent indirectement en ne luttant pas suffisamment contre la consommation de drogue aux usa...qui finance les cartels.

    C est ca le point important dans cet article et non le titre.

    Trump en prison, vite.

  7. #Mexico Is Caught Between the #Mafia [Trump] & the #Cartels
    #Trump has demanded [threatened] President #ClaudiaSheinbaum confront the cartels.
    The killing of “#ElMencho” was a clear success for the Mexican authorities. The timing, however, was telling.
    Trump has loudly & repeatedly demanded that Mexican ofcls dismantle the cartels that have amassed fortunes by sending drugs across the border. If they don’t, he threatened, the #US #military may do the job instead [invade].

  8. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney, Valentin Pereda, Assistant Professor at the School of Criminology at the University of Montreal, says that "one of the key elements that gives the Mexican cartels their power is their access to American-made weapons". At least 73 people died in Mexico's attempt to capture the notorious leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the violent aftermath of his death.

  10. Ah. I’ve seen this before.. Let me use the history of empires to predict how this going to go down:

    1. Trump government demanded action from Mexico + provided them with intelligence to kill cartel leader.
    2. Cartel retaliated in revenge.
    3. USA uses retaliation as pretense to move troops into the area.
    4. Direct military control of areas of Mexico by USA is proposed in US “for retaining law & order”.

  15. The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine

    Juan Orlando Hernández, whom Mr. #Trump called a victim of persecution, helped orchestrate a decades-long trafficking conspiracy. It ravaged his #CentralAmerican country.

    He once boasted that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.” He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow #cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras. A man was killed in prison to protect him.

    At the federal trial of #JuanOrlandoHernández in New York, testimony and evidence showed how the former president maintained #Honduras as a bastion of the global drug trade. He orchestrated a vast trafficking conspiracy that prosecutors said raked in millions for #cartels...

  18. Harris Visits MAGA Areas of Pennsylvania, to Cut Into Trump’s Edge

    The vice president, who appeared in #Johnstown and #Wilkes-#Barre, said she would
    ❇️ #remove#unnecessary degree #requirements” for some federal jobs,

    a pitch to Mr. Trump’s base of voters without a college education in a part of the state where he expects to perform well.

    Ms. Harris also emphasized her work in California
    ❇️ #prosecuting Mexican #drug #cartels,
    and said as president she would continue to go after them “for pushing poisons like fentanyl on our children.”

    The vice president’s Trump-country pitch amounted to a continuation of her appeal to moderate and right-leaning voters that began at the Democratic National Convention last month
    and continued during Tuesday’s debate with the former president.

    #TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Trump's Transition Team Is Tethered To Thievery (And Worse)

    How is it that money managed by the chair of Trump's transition team keeps showing up in the hands of drug cartels, terrorists, and fraudsters?

    This is a "follow the money" deep dive into how Howard Lutnick manages roughly $100 billion for #Tether. Together they've created an offshore legal fiction by which neither bears any responsibility if that money ends up in the hands of sanctioned countries like #Iran or #NorthKorea or international criminal organizations like #PigButchering frauds and weapons markets.

    Which is exactly where it ends up pretty much constantly.

    For bonus points $40 billion of those dollars came from Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX.
