Yep...was it George Bush Sr. who said something to the effect that the American people would be appalled if they knew the things the US government has done over the years. I dunno, I'm not in the rarified air of the upper crust or government echelons so I don't know what needs to be done and what could be avoided.....

Don't believe everything " THEY" say. I know a guy who flies for clandestine operations in the Central and Southern areas and they get into allot of fire fights with the bad guys and has done allot of damage to the trade. He makes a boat load of money but unfortunately we really don't get the results needed.

Fast and Futile

So, where's this El Universal article that is referenced?

I'm not calling BS but it feels like a out-of-context, cut-and-paste from several "reputable" sources without actually identifying the articles or the author.

Call me skeptical.

Sorry, I Call BS on This "Report"

We have big bold headlines screaming with exclamation points.

But, there is nothing of substance and no proof of fact.

There have been many questionable activities in the U.S. actions during the "War on Drugs" but this is not a credible account.

But for sure, there are lazy people, who hold themselves out as professional journalists that throw up garbage on the internet in order to drive eyeballs and money to their website.

This is just another recycled old story that has already made the rounds on the conspiracy blogs that have no editorial oversight or are from places like "Fox New" that throws out a lot of wild allegations that is very short of actual facts.

For example, operation "fast and Furious." You could call 'Fast and Furious" many things, I call it a well meaning bungled operation to track weapons into Mexico and into the Mexican cartels hands, but I doubt anybody could conclude "Operation Fast and Furious" was a way to arm one Mexican cartel over another cartel.

From the zero hedge" blog that's ran by some criminal who was convicted of insider trading, and who goes by the handle of Tyler Durden, from the movie "Fight Club" and the character Brad Pitt played. Zero Hedge now for the last five years has been claiming the sky is going to fall on Wall Street, and everybody is going to lose all their money, yet the stock market continues making new highs like this year, as the economy continues to recover.


According to the motion, the deal was part of a ‘divide and conquer’ strategy, where the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa cartel, through Operation Fast and Furious, in exchange for information that allowed the D.E.A. and FBI to destroy and dismantle rival Mexican cartels.
