Drug Cartels make good on their word.

[Vonhelmet]

People wanting recreational drugs will never go away, from lawyers/celebrities/unemployed/min wage workers, all walks of life use drugs and fund the massive trade in it.

This is also true.

 

[ChroniC]

It gets loads worse. 46 found dead. Cartel took out there workers or rivals it seems.

The 90% number is total B.S. however the ATF did supply weapons to them (to try and make that number seem more legit).

The ATF basically gave the cartels hundreds of assault rifles. Some of which were later used to kill their own agent. The politics behind it looks like they wanted to purposefully make the situation WORSE, so they would have an excuse to enact more gun control laws in the USA.

The head of the ATF was forced to quit over the scandal.

Something like that. The idea is that the cartels will attempt to overthrow the mexican government (elections in 2012), the ensuing violence will spill over the border and give the US government a good excuse to exercise a bit of martial law, confiscating guns from law abiding people etc.

Legalise and regulate drugs. Drive the cartels out of business. Profit

People are going to ruin themselves somehow anyway

I'd imagine the cartels would try their hardest to prevent such government actions! Sad world we live in

 

[mehuk]

[Dmack]

ever looked into what happens to government officials who suggest such things ?

If they didn't have to spend hundreds of millions on their private armies they'd make more profit. I'd imagine legalising operations would make them just more money.

 

[magick]

No evidence of that at all. In fact the first article you posted points the finger at proxy selling by smugglers near the border.

The CIA has had its hand in the drug trade for decades

On November 15, 1996, there was a town meeting in Los Angeles on allegations of CIA involvement in drug trafficking. Former Los Angeles Police Narcotics Detective Mike Ruppert seized the opportunity to confront then CIA Director John Deutch.

The drug problem will never be solved in Mexico. Watched 2 videos of people getting beheaded, these Cartels do not **** around.

2 guys, both alive sitting against a wall of some sort. One gets beheaded with a chainsaw, the other with a knife. Don't think it was the Zetas but the second video definitely was.

 

[mattyg]

That video was sick. They really dont **** about.

 

[Bokuzen]

yeah that video seems to be getting around, pretty horrible for the second bloke sat down with his headless mate leaning on his shoulder only to be hacked at with a knife. Glad i don't live there

 

[platypus]

Its sad, because there are many beautiful parts of Mexico, but its just not worth the risk of visiting.

 

[Participant]

My brother's going surfing there in November . I'm sure sticking to the touristy parts is fairly safe.

 

[platypus]

Yeah the resorts are fine because of the security they employ; but there are several places I want to visit not in the beach resorts.

 

[Dugganator]

They're killing snitches? Albert, You're next .

HAHAHA that made me laugh my pepsi max back out

 

[mrk]

Mexico is sinking anyway so it's only a matter of time before the problem resolves itself ¬_¬
