Obama Administration Caught Running Guns To Mexican Drug Cartels

There all in it together. Citigroup helps them launder their money. I wouldn't be suppressed if FedEx is helping them in the distribution. They pretend they're getting it off the streets by going after these guys in the so called war on drugs bullshit. But in reality they're creating the market for it, and keeping prices high. If every motherfucker could get into the drug business then the price would fall.
Drug business is the best in the world, total monopoly... all cash. Cheap as fuck to make. Price fixing, price manipulation. Murder the competition. Total power.

Didn't we know the DOJ was involved months ago? This interview doesn't seem to add anything to the ongoing story.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure congress just agreed to hold hearings on this last week.
i believe they are referring to atf operation fast and furious which allowed 3500 tracked guns go to cartels. this operation came under scrutiny after border patrol agents started getting whacked by the very same gubs they were tracking.
your title makes it seem like the obama administration is profiteering from the sale of firearms, i think this couldnt be farther from the truth. when the government wants to take risks like that they know the profit is in the hard stuff, ask the cia.
a little back history on the cartel violence here. the cartels operated with relative peace not long ago. they were similar to the mafia of americas golden age. business and disput was conducted with handshakes and respect.
one day the gulf cartel decides to hire the zetas as their strong arm division. if youre not familiar with the zetas, they are ex mexican special forces. its similar to the navy seals abandoning their post and going to work for the largest organized crime syndicate in the county.
eventually the zetas got tired of being hired thugs and decided to go out on their own. they werent indoctrinated into the ideals that the old school cartels understood and respected: mainly that violence brings heat and heat is terrible for business.
things have obviously changed now that these guys have entered the playing field and nobody likes it. there is even a group formed by several cartels called the mata zetas, if you can decipher the name then you know their mission.
because of the zetas background they have no trouble getting arms. they have military grade vests, grenades, rpgs, machine guns...all that shit. they all do now.
one of the biggest problem with the war on drugs is they are taking out the leaders who keep relative control of everything. its like taking out the queen from an ant farm and watching them all go nuts.
legalize it. legalize it all

At Andrew: Thanks for the summary. I'm outta rep.
Sounds like you have your ear to the ground. I have a question. Are Obama and Calderón pretty tight? By "tight," I mean in a Bush-Blair way.

You're 100% correct the zetas are fucking nuts and will literally block cars in the middle of an intersection and open up with full auto assault files on the car and then bail.
I use to party in Juarez when I was around 18 and it as reality safe (don't eat at a flea market or street vendor it makes you sick, but tastes great =( ). Now from what I hear it's pretty nutty down there.
Critic of ATF gun-trafficking program raised no objection when briefed last year - The Washington Post
Some republicans in congress were briefed on this and didn't object at the time, just like some democrats were briefed on waterboarding and didn't object.
Corruption tends to rule no matter which party is in power, but instead of people realizing this and trying to figure out how it happens - they are too busy being all like "See! If only my party was in power this stuff wouldn't happen!"

Of course man. You kill one and another takes his place but that is the same story in every country I think.. Plus they are starting out waaay early here, have you heard about the 12, 13, 14 year old hitmen?
There is even one running around the little town I live in, I don't think he's that young anymore but he started around 12 or 13. My wife told me a story about him, he nearly got his ass kidnapped @ this restaurant we used to frequent for his dirty deeds but the restaurant owner with that had oldschool narco clout saved his ass. He is lucky. But I am half-way in your boat, I wish they would have snagged him and hung him from the bridge like that did with a couple unlucky dealers last year.
Of course, he could be dead by now I have no idea.
I'm not too sure about what the big heads do, but I could imagine. Mexico and America are close neighbors and drugs are big business, it seems logical.
I know man, from what I understand the border used to be an awesome place. Southern state college kids could hop the border, fuck some hoes, get smashed, get high, and go nuts then come right back and be ready for class the next day. That was before my time, but I bet it was a blast.
