Cops Find 35 Bodies in Mass Graves in Mexico This Week
2:55
Mexican authorities confirmed the discovery of at least 35 bodies in a series of mass graves. Officials found the graves in the Mexican state of Jalisco. The state is controlled by the ruthless criminal organization known as Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion.
Jalisco’s Attorney General Office confirmed the discovery of 35 bodies this week in three separate mass graves in the Guadalajara Metropolitan area, El Sol de Mexico reported. Guadalajara is the same city where in March, Mexican authorities found 19 bodies in a canal, Breitbart News reported at the time.
According to Jalisco’s Attorney General Gerardo Octavio Solis Gomez, the bodies were found in four separate mass graves. Authorities searched the area as part of an ongoing series of murder investigations.
In one mass grave in the Campanario neighborhood of the municipality of Zapopan, authorities found 27 bodies. Officials began the investigation in that area on Tuesday. So far, investigators have only been able to identify two of the victims.
Authorities raided a house in the Quinta Velarde neighborhood of Guadalajara where they rescued 9 kidnapping victims. They also found seven human skulls. Police believe that the seven bodies are buried in a mass grave located on the property, El Sol de Mexicoreported. Inside that property, authorities found acid and other corrosive materials that could have been used to dissolve victims.
In a third investigation, the Mexican Army raided a home in the municipality of Tlajomulco. Investigators arrested four men and found one victim who had been buried on the grounds of that property.
As part of the investigation, authorities also seized six SUVs that had been made to look like police vehicles from the Attorney General’s Office. Investigators believe that the cloned police vehicles were used to make the kidnappings look like police arrests.
Jalisco is the main area of operations of Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion, a drug cartel that made a name for itself as one of the most violent criminal organizations. The cartel recruited former military forces and Colombian terrorists as muscle and for their knowledge in the use of IEDs, Breitbart News reported. CJNG is one of the cartels that has drawn the condemnation of U.S. politicians who are looking to classify certain cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, Breitbart News reported.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) called for an end to the internationally-funded Merida Initiative to target cartels in favor of a jobs program.
AMLO told reporters in Mexico City that he asked the U.S. government to end the Merida Initiative and shift aid to a job development program, Mexico’s SinEmbargo.Mx reported. The plan calls for economic development in southern Mexico and Central America to keep migrants from leaving their home regions for jobs further north.
“The Merida Initiative issue–we want it to be completely reoriented because it is not working,” AMLO said during his televised statement. “We don’t want cooperation for the use of force–we want it for development.”
The Merida Initiative is a $3 billion aid program run by the U.S. Department of State aimed at helping Mexico deal with organized crime and cartels. The program calls for equipment, helicopters, and a series of programs to improve Mexican law enforcement while respecting human rights.
The statements by AMLO come at a time when his administration is under fire for previous statements like calling for an end to the drug war to instead focus on forgiveness, Breitbart News reported. Despite the rhetoric, Mexico continues to see record-setting levels of violence as cartels fight for previously peaceful tourist areas like Cancun, Baja California, and Los Cabos.
In addition to the ongoing cartel violence, criminal organizations just south of the Texas border profit from the migration crisis by charging between $300 and $500 per Central American migrant that crosses the Rio Grande. This week, U.S. Border Patrol reported the apprehension of 2,400 migrants in one day in the Rio Grande Sector. The rising numbers come at a time when Mexican officials claim to be cracking down on unlawful migration.

THE INVASION!
Sheriff Andy Louderback, Jackson County, Texas, in Washington on Jan. 11, 2019. (Samira Bouaou/The Epoch Times)
Texas Sheriff Says Mexican Cartels at the Heart of Border Crisis
February 25, 2019 Updated: February 25, 2019
WASHINGTON—A porous southwest border is the gift that keeps on giving to Mexican cartels, whose multibillion-dollar businesses depend solely upon getting illicit goods into the United States.
Sheriff Andy Louderback of Jackson County, Texas, said border securityefforts need to focus more on disrupting the cartels.
“The cartels remain at the heart of the problem here in the United States. They have unlimited funding. … They’re very good at what they do. They’re very powerful, very powerful, in this country,” he said.
Louderback said the cartels are exploiting weak borders and are “profiting hugely off human misery in this country—profiting off of Americans.”
“It’s imperative that the American public understand the criminality of what we’re facing. That alone is enough to secure the border,” he said.
Mexican cartels, otherwise known as transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), show continued signs of growth in the United States, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in a 2018 report.
The cartels control lucrative smuggling corridors, primarily across the southwest border, and maintain the greatest drug-trafficking influence in the United States, states the DEA.
“They continue to expand their criminal influence by engaging in business alliances with other TCOs, including independent TCOs, and work in conjunction with transnational gangs, U.S.-based street gangs, prison gangs, and Asian money laundering organizations,” the DEA said.
Almost 90 percent of the heroin in the United States comes from Mexico, according to the DEA, and Mexican heroin production grew by 37 percent from 2016 to 2017.
“Mexican cartels continue to make large quantities of cheap methamphetamine and deliver it to the United States through the southern border,” the DEA said. Seizures of meth at the border increased from 8,900 pounds in 2010 to more than 82,000 pounds in 2018.
The cartels also export significant quantities of cocaine, marijuana, and fentanyl into the United States.
“The drugs are delivered to user markets in the United States through transportation routes and distribution cells that are managed or influenced by Mexican TCOs, and with the cooperation and participation of local street gangs,” the DEA report states.
“Illicit drugs, as well as the transnational and domestic criminal organizations that traffic them, continue to represent significant threats to public health, law enforcement, and national security in the United States.”
Most of the drugs that are seized are found in vehicles coming through ports of entry. Customs and Border Protection officials seized the largest amount of fentanyl being smuggled in a truck through the Nogales, Arizona, port of entry on Jan. 26.
A Mexican national was arrested after officers found nearly 254 pounds of fentanyl valued at approximately $3.5 million and almost 395 pounds of methamphetamine valued at $1.1 million. That amount of fentanyl had the potential to kill 56 million people, based on the DEA’s estimation that ingesting as little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl, equivalent to a few grains of salt, can be fatal.
But cartels are also using the large groups of asylum-seekers, mostly from Central America, to tie up Border Patrol resources in areas along the border.
“In many instances, criminal organizations are saturating areas with large groups with the belief that they can smuggle narcotics or other contraband into the United States while Border Patrol agents are occupied,” CBP said in a statement on Feb. 11.
Border Patrol agents have encountered more than 58 groups of 100-plus people so far this fiscal year, compared to 13 in all of fiscal 2018.
Remote Border Areas
A civilian group in Arivaca, Arizona, sets up hidden trail cameras on the border in a remote area where it’s rare to see Border Patrol, and the fence, where it exists, is merely four-strand barbed wire.
Arizona Border Recon’s trail camera footage is eye-opening—groups of eight to 10 people crossing the border in camo gear, humping backpacks, and trekking purposefully northwards, deeper into the United States, in carpet shoes to hide their tracks.
The group’s founder, Tim Foley, said that in an average two-week period, one camera on just one of the hundreds of branching trails picked up 400 illegal aliens and 100 drug mules—all led by “coyotes,” or smugglers.
Cartel scouts sit on the mountaintops on both the Mexican and U.S. sides, as if they are air-traffic controllers, ensuring safe passage through.
“About a year ago, our cameras quit picking up the burlap sacks with the 20 kilos of marijuana, but now we’re seeing that they’re running a bigger camouflage pack than the regular illegals,” Foley said in December. “It’s better made. More space in it. They’re running meth, heroine, cocaine, fentanyl.”
Foley hopes to add to his eight trail cameras and continue to pass information on to Border Patrol.
“Cartels are basically the Hispanic version of ISIS,” he said. “We’ve got enough of our own bad guys. We don’t need to import more.”
National Emergency
President Donald Trump signed an executive order three weeks after taking office, instructing federal law enforcement to go after cartels.
“These groups are drivers of crime, corruption, violence, and misery,” the order states. “In particular, the trafficking by cartels of controlled substances has triggered a resurgence in deadly drug abuse and a corresponding rise in violent crime related to drugs. Likewise, the trafficking and smuggling of human beings by transnational criminal groups risks creating a humanitarian crisis.”
On Feb. 15, the president announced a national emergency after Congress failed to provide the $5.7 billion he was asking for to erect 234 miles of fencing requested by the Department of Homeland Security.
Congress provided $1.375 billion toward border fencing, and Trump intends to supplement that with $6.1 billion of reappropriated defense funds.
“We have a State of Emergency at our Southern Border,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Feb. 25. “Border Patrol, our Military and local Law Enforcement are doing a great job, but without the Wall, which is now under major construction, you cannot have Border Security. Drugs, Gangs and Human Trafficking must be stopped!”
Louderback said he supports Trump calling a national emergency to get more border fencing in place.
“The saying is, you build a 10-foot wall, you provide an 11-foot ladder. I got that, and many of us do. Can we inhibit, slow, and catch … by putting in infrastructure in certain places on our southern border? The answer’s absolutely yes,” he said.
“Are there going to be folks that tunnel under? Certainly. Are there going to be ones that climb over? Certainly. Is there going to be fewer? Absolutely. The expectations are, when you put the infrastructure there, that you’re going to do a better job of controlling that piece of real estate.
“If you’re able just to walk across, that’s not operational control of our border.”
‘El Chapo’
The recent trial and conviction of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman provided an insight into the Sinaloa Cartel.
Guzman oversaw the smuggling of narcotics to wholesale distributors in Arizona, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and elsewhere, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The billions of illicit dollars generated from drug sales in the United States were then clandestinely transported back to Mexico, the DOJ said.
“Guzman also used ‘sicarios,’ or hit men, who carried out hundreds of acts of violence in Mexico to enforce Sinaloa’s control of territories and to eliminate those who posed a threat to the Sinaloa Cartel,” the DOJ said in a statement.
A witness at the trial, Alex Cifuentes, who said he used to be Guzman’s right-hand man, told the court that Guzman paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
On Feb. 21, the DOJ announced indictments against two of Guzman’s sons—Joaquin Guzman Lopez, 34, and Ovidio Guzman Lopez, 28—on drug conspiracy charges.
“The rise of the cartel power, their ability to penetrate our border, their ability to move fluidly and silently in any different direction with a 10-minute phone call to make massive changes in what they’re doing, to reroute a load, to reroute humans. … This is the kind of flexibility and the kind of enemy that we’re actually dealing with here,” Louderback said.
“You know who doesn’t want border security, who doesn’t want a wall? And that’s certainly your drug cartels, that’s certainly your MS-13, that’s your rapist, that’s your drug dealers, and sadly, some Democrats that do not want a wall.
“They don’t want operational control of our border. And that’s very sad. It’s tragic and it’s sad. It costs American lives.”
Louderback said the problem exists in every state, but the solution has to start with border security. Once the United States has control over its southern border, it will take full cooperation between federal, state, and local law enforcement to decimate the cartels.
The 6 Main Cartels Active in the US
The DEA identifies six cartels that traffic the most drugs into the United States: Sinaloa Cartel, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), Juarez Cartel, Gulf Cartel, Los Zetas Cartel, and Beltran-Leyva Organization (BLO).
The Sinaloa Cartel maintains the most expansive footprint in the United States, while CJNG’s domestic presence has significantly expanded in the past few years, according to the DEA. Although 2017 drug-related murders in Mexico surpassed previous levels of violence, U.S.-based cartel members generally refrain from extending inter-cartel conflicts domestically.
Sinaloa Cartel

Married
Couple Executed, Teen Daughter Raped by Cartel Gunmen in Tijuana

A married couple in Tijuana reportedly involved in the drug trade was
executed while their 17-year-old daughter was raped after being lured into a
trap by cartel gunmen.
Jaqueline
and Andrés Martínez were summoned to a meeting on April 10, with an associate
they were allegedly involved with in the drug trade. Prior to driving to a
residence in colonia Pedregal de Santa Julia, the couple picked up their
17-year-old daughter at school and had her join them. Upon arrival, they were
met by cartel gunmen. The couple was immediately separated from their daughter
so she could be taken into a room and raped by two of the men, according to a
new report and Breitbart law enforcement sources. The cartel gunmen originally
started to strangle the daughter with a piece of rope but later decided to let
her live, prior to the rape. The couple had their hands and feet bound and
forced into the trunk of their car. The couple was then executed with at least
one gunshot each to the head, according to a report.
After cartel gunmen finished raping the 17-year-old, they
ordered her to leave the property and take the vehicle she arrived in. She was
told that her parents were in the trunk. The daughter drove away and eventually
stopped at a gas station in a traumatized state. She asked for help and told the
station attendants that her parents were inside the trunk. The station summoned
the police, who noticed blood dripping from the rear area of the vehicle.
Police discovered two deceased adults partially covered in blankets, according
to recently released information by the state attorney general’s office.
Jaqueline
and Andrés Martínez were married for approximately 20 years and owned a
wholesale merchandising business. They were also involved in trafficking drugs
into the United States, according to the state attorney general’s office. Once
investigators located the residence where the double murder and rape took place,
the cartel gunmen had already fled.
Breitbart
News reports extensively about
the ongoing cartel violence in Tijuana with shocking numbers of homicides to include
a record-breaking year in 2018, which totaled 2,518. By comparison, San Diego
tallied 35 the same period.
A recent study released
in March by the Citizen Council for Public Safety and Criminal Justice (El
Consejo Ciudadano para la Seguridad Pública y la Justicia Penal) listed Tijuana
as the deadliest city in the world per capita, based on its 2018 registered
homicide count. The bloodshed is generally related to turf wars
involving Cártel Tijuana Nueva Generación (CTNG), aligned with El Cártel
de Jalisco Nueva Generación, against the Sinaloa Cartel.

EXCLUSIVE:
Cartel Hitman Behind Mexican Border Beheadings Unmasked
ILDEFONSO ORTIZ AND
BRANDON DARBY

Breitbart News learned the identity of a hitman responsible for
performing numerous beheadings and dismemberments throughout the border state
of Nuevo Leon on behalf of the terrorist-led Cartel Del Noreste, a faction of
the Los Zetas.
Known
by the nickname “El Negro Cadereyta,” Jesus Enrique Flores Ramirez is a top
lieutenant with the CDN under the command of Hector Raul “El Tory” Luna Luna,
the cartel boss behind the 2008 grenade attack on the U.S. Consulate in
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. Law enforcement sources consulted by Breitbart News
identify Flores Ramirez as the man who led a CDN group in Monterrey linked to
at least 16 dismemberments.
Under
orders of El Tory, CDN hitmen
carried out 16 executions in a six-month span, where they left the remains of
their victims in public places next to poster boards or banners with threats
directed at rivals. Law enforcement sources say the moves are meant to terrorize
rivals and intimidate independent drug distributors into exclusive
collaboration with the CDN. The executions were ordered by El Tory through his
right-hand man in direct contact with Flores Ramirez. By controlling local
distributors, the CDN is able to control drug prices in the Monterrey
Metropolitan area.
Earlier
this year, detectives with the Nuevo Leon’s State Investigations Agency tracked
down Flores Ramirez and his top hitmen, David Ricardo “La Galleta or Cookie”
Martinez Lopez and Samuel Eduardo “El Sammy” Luna Escobar. State detectives
were able to identify the men in a Chevrolet Aveo previously used to kidnap and
kill two lookouts from the Gulf Cartel.
Breitbart
News accessed police reports linking Flores Ramirez to the kidnapping and
murder of 51-year-old Felipe de Jesus Ramirez Serrano and 17-year-old Jordan
Arcenis “Cocoy” Nunez Garcia. Negro Cadereyta allegedly arranged for the two
victims to unload a tractor-trailer filled with drugs, in reality, the job was
a ruse to capture the two men who were then recorded claiming to work for the
Gulf Cartel. Flores Ramirez and his henchmen allegedly beheaded and dismembered
the victims, whose remains were discovered in February at an industrial park in
the community of Escobedo.
Flores
Ramirez’s boss, El Tory,
currently controls the CDN in Monterrey and the border city of Nuevo Laredo. He was in
a Mexican federal prison beginning in 2010 but was mysteriously released in
mid-2018. Since assuming command of the CDN, El Tory ordered numerous
dismemberments in Nuevo Leon and the neighboring states of Tamaulipas and
Coahuila. El Tory previously issued direct threats to law enforcement using
banners, specifically targeting a state police building in Nuevo Leon for a
bombing.

GRAPHIC —
Terrorist-Led Mexican Cartel Tortures Citizen Journalist
13 Mar 20191
2:47
NUEVO LAREDO, Tamaulipas – Cartel gunmen working for a convicted terrorist
kidnapped, tortured, and humiliated a citizen journalist who recorded a recent
gun battle and dared to share the footage on social media. The attack is the
second of its kind in recent weeks where Los Zetas tried to scare locals into
silence.
This
week, gunmen from the Cartel Del Noreste (CDN) faction of Los Zetas tortured an
unidentified man and spray-painted him. He was left in his underwear in the
streets of Nuevo Laredo as a warning to all residents to not record or
photograph cartel gunmen.
The
man claimed to be the individual who, over the weekend, used his cell phone to
record a fierce gun battle between Mexican soldiers and the CDN. As Breitbart
News reported, Mexican soldiers killed six CDN
gunmen during the clash.
Earlier
this year, Los Zetas tortured another man who they stripped and spray-painted
with a message warning other citizen journalists to not document violence.
The
CDN faction of Los Zetas has absolute control over the local news outlets in
Nuevo Laredo and is able to suppress coverage of cartel violence. The faction
also employs misinformation tactics to blame the consequences of criminal violence
on officials. The tactic even duped United
Nations officials into critiquing Mexican military forces. In
addition to using the media for political gain, the CDN faction has leveraged
local news outlets into praising their so-called charity work.
Currently,
the CDN faction of Los Zetas is led by convicted terrorist Hector Raul
“El Tory” Luna Luna, the man behind the 2008 grenade attack on the U.S.
Consulate in Monterrey. Since assuming operational control of Nuevo
Laredo, El Tory has been linked to numerous gruesome executions where victim’s
bodies were dismembered and placed inside ice chests as a warning to rivals. El
Tory’s gunmen were also tied to numerous attacks and threats on law
enforcement, including a warning they would bomb a state police building in
Nuevo Leon.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of
Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to
risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The
writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that

REYNOSA, Tamaulipas – Gulf Cartel gunmen dumped the bodies of three
victims along one of the highways in this border city. A large deployment of
police forces responded to secure the crime scene. The violence comes at a time
when rival factions of the Gulf Cartel continue their fight for control of the
border region.
Early morning
motorists moving the Libramiento highway called authorities upon spotting the
three bodies. Tamaulipas state authorities rushed to the scene and set up a

The
cartel gunmen wrapped one of the victims in a blanket, a second one
plastic, and a third was dumped tied and semi-nude. All three victims showed
signs of torture, law enforcement sources revealed to Breitbart News.
The discovery
of the three bodies along the highway in Reynosa follows almost a dozen similar
cases of executions where the victims were dumped along rural roads near the
city. As Breitbart News reported, Reynosa residents witnessed a
rekindling of violence where the two rival factions of the Gulf Cartel that
have an ongoing power struggle set off fierce firefights involving dozens of
armored vehicles with gunmen carrying machine guns, grenades, and .50
caliber rifles.

Eight-Time Deportee Accused of Trafficking $850,000 in Meth,
Cocaine
15 Jan 201957

Police arrested an illegal alien in Utah, who had been deported from
the U.S. eight different times, for allegedly trafficking $850,000 in meth and
cocaine.
Jose Olegario
Lopez, a 44-year-old Mexican national from the state of Sinaloa, was traveling with his 16-year-old
son on Saturday when Utah County officers pulled him over for suspected traffic
violations.
But Lopez
reportedly did not stop the car, causing authorities to surround him until he
was forced to stop.

CLOSE | X
Officers
who initially searched Lopez found he had traces of cocaine on his body,
authorities said.
When
officers and a K9 conducted an
in-depth search of Lopez’s vehicle, they discovered multiple individually
wrapped packages. Detectives say they recovered 2.35 pounds of cocaine, worth
$106,000, and 16.7 pounds of methamphetamine, with an estimated street value of
more than $750,000.
Authorities
charged Lopez with two first-degree felony counts of possessing a
controlled substance with intent to distribute, one count of failing to respond
to obey an officer, and one class A misdemeanor charge of drug paraphernalia
possession, according to a press release from
the Utah County Sheriff’s Office.
Lopez
is currently in custody and a judge ordered that he be held without bond.
Officials
say the son was not involved in the trafficking and they released him into the
custody of his mother.
U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) officials confirmed that Lopez is in the U.S. illegally and has been
busted for illegally re-entering the country eight times.
ICE
officials placed a detainer on Lopez, meaning that if he is released from
prison, ICE can take custody of him and deport him out of the U.S.
Lopez
is not the only eight-time deportee to make headlines. One judge threw the book
at a Honduran national who had been deported from the U.S. eight times, sentencing the
illegal alien to five years in federal prison.
GRAPHIC – 7 Human Heads Dumped in Mexican Border State
14 Sep 2018446
Police discovered seven heads abandoned in an ice cooler Friday morning
in the rural community of Bácum, Sonora–sparking fears of an escalation in an
ongoing territorial cartel war.
Security
elements of the State Public Security Police (PESP) and investigators assigned
to the State Attorney General’s Office responded to a report of heads in a
cooler at approximately 4 am, according to local media. Authorities determined that all victims were males between the
ages of 25 and 40 and were believed kidnapped several hours earlier in the town
of Francisco Javier Mina.
According to authorities and
Breitbart Texas law enforcement contacts, the Friday morning executions and the
general escalation in violence in the region can be attributed to a territorial
dispute between “Los Salazar,” aligned with the Sinaloa Cartel, and Cártel
de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG). This dispute began in 2017 as CJNG moved
into southern Sonora to challenge the Sinaloa Cartel’s dominance over routes to
the U.S. drug markets.
According to local media reports,
the small community of Bácum has registered 150 homicides.

GRAPHIC: Cartel Gunmen Carry Out Early Morning Hits in Mexican
Border State
15 Sep 201856
CIUDAD VICTORIA, Tamaulipas — Cartel gunmen
escalated the number of executions in capital city of this Mexican border
state. Hitmen began a new tactic where they are now raiding homes early in the
morning. The raids are designed to surprise their sleeping victims and kill
them at point-blank range.
This
week, Ciudad Victoria, the capital of Tamaulipas, witnessed a series of
executions where a group of assassins arrived at the houses of their victims at
dawn and used assault rifles to kill them. The first execution took place in
the Horacio Terán neighborhood in the southern part of the city where
52-year-old Hortencia “N” and an unidentified man died after being shot three
times in the head.
According
to information provided to Breitbart Texas by state authorities, neighbors
reported hearing several gunshots at 6 a.m. so they called the authorities. By
the time authorities and emergency personnel arrived, the victims were already
dead and the gunmen escaped from the scene.
The
double murder occurred at about the same time that another group of hit men
killed an ex-convict named Ricardo “El Riki” Gonzalez Villanueva. According to
information provided to Breitbart Texas by authorities, the gunmen also caught
the victim by surprise at his home when two cartel hitmen entered and shot him
multiple times in the head.
Also
this week, a group of hitmen executed two men outside a house in the Luis
Echeverria neighborhood. The gunmen shot their victims with machine guns at
close range before fleeing. According to police sources, the executions are
related to the territorial disputes between rival factions of Los Zetas cartel
called Northeastern Cartel or Cartel Del Noreste and Old School Zetas or Zetas
Vieja Escuela.
Editor’s Note: Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican States of
Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León to recruit citizen journalists willing to
risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The
writers would face certain death at the hands of the various cartels that
operate in those areas including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas if a pseudonym
were not used. Breitbart Texas’ Cartel
Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by
“Francisco Morales” from Tamaulipas.

“Heroin is not produced in the United
States. Every gram of heroin present in the United States provides unequivocal
evidence of a failure of border security because every gram of heroin was smuggled
into the United States. Indeed,
this is precisely a point that Attorney General Jeff Sessions made during his
appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on October 18, 2017
when he again raised the need to secure the U.S./Mexican border to protect
American lives.” Michael Cutler …..FrontPageMag.com

“The greatest criminal threat to the

“Mexican drug cartels
are the “other” terrorist threat to America. Militant Islamists have the goal
of destroying the United States. Mexican drug cartels are now accomplishing that mission – from within, every day, in virtually
every community across this country.” JUDICIALWATCH
“Mexican authorities have arrested the former mayor of a
rural community in the border state of Coahuila in connection with the
kidnapping, murder and incineration of hundreds of victims through a network of
ovens at the hands of the Los Zetas cartel. The arrest comes after Breitbart Texas
exposed not only the horrors of the mass extermination, but also the cover-up
and complicity of the Mexican government.”

Heather Mac Donald
of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a Congressional committee that
in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for murder in Los Angeles were for
illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles County jail inmates were
illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s largest street gang, the 18th
Street gang, were illegal aliens.
A NATION DIES OF OPIOID
ADDICTION
AMERICAN BIG PHARMA,
RED CHINA and NARCOMEX PARTNER FOR THE BIG BUCKS
“The drug epidemic is the product of capitalism and the
policies of the capitalist parties, both Democrats and
Republicans. There is, first of all, the role of the pharmaceutical
companies, which have amassed huge profits from the
deceptive marketing of opioid pain killers, which they claimed were
not addictive. Prescriptions for opioids such as Percocet, Oxycontin
and Vicodin skyrocketed from 76 million in 1991 to nearly 259 million in
2012. What are the numbers and profits now?
