No one could have predicted something like this.

That’s why it’s so shocking.

Reuters:

A Mexican mother walked into a bank in her home city of Culiacán in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where an $8,000 remittance from the United States was waiting. She withdrew the funds in local currency, then strolled across town and deposited nearly all of it into accounts at two different banks.

Money sent home by migrant workers is a lifeline for millions of Mexicans. But the woman had never met the person who wired her the funds, nor the owners of the accounts where she took the cash. What she did know: The deal had been carefully arranged by the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world’s largest drug trafficking groups, to repatriate profits from U.S. drug sales back to Mexico disguised as a routine remittance.

Her cut: $230 worth of Mexican pesos.

It was the start of easy money for the woman, who said she previously had struggled to make ends meet cleaning houses. Recalling that day in April 2014 for Reuters, she estimated she had earned some $17,000 over the years recruiting others into the scheme and cashing remittances totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars – but never too much or too often, so as to avoid scrutiny by banking authorities. She said a neighbor got her into the game, and that she had never met her bosses in person.

“Everything was by phone,” she said, “and the phone numbers changed every time.”

The woman showed Reuters WhatsApp messages on her phone that she said were from traffickers coordinating her remittance pickups and drop-offs. One from early 2022 said: “They are waiting for you outside. They know who you are. Give them the money.”

The Culiacán mother is part of an army of civilians recruited by the Sinaloa Cartel and other drug syndicates across Mexico to help move illicit drug profits earned in the United States south of the border. The criminal scheme essentially piggybacks on the vast legal network of money-transfer firms that help migrant laborers send money home to their families.

Remittances to Mexico, nearly all of which come from the United States, hit a record $58.5 billion last year, according to data from Mexico’s central bank. That’s an increase of $25 billion, or 74%, compared to 2018, when President Andrés Manuel López Obrador came to power. Mexico’s economy has been slow to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, a factor that has boosted migration to the United States in recent years along with the remittances that workers send home.

As legitimate remittances have ballooned, it has become ever easier for cartels to disguise their ill-gotten gains in small transfers sent to average people across Mexico who have no obvious links to organized crime, according to four U.S. and Mexican security officials.

The cartels are awash in cash from U.S. sales of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and marijuana. Presently, up to 10% of all Mexico-bound remittances may be drug money moved by criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, according to a U.S. government official who works on illicit finance and asked for anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the subject. A March report by the Mexico think tank Signos Vitales estimated that at least $4.4 billion, or 7.5%, of remittances sent to Mexico last year could come from illegal activity.

Several features of the remittance sector make it an attractive vehicle through which criminal funds can enter the financial system, according to four industry executives and the Mexican and U.S. law enforcement officials. Chief among them is the worldwide reach of this network and the modest-sized cash transactions that drive it. Identification requirements for such transfers are more relaxed than those needed to set up a formal bank account or to wire significant sums of money.

Cases of crime groups using popular money-transfer services to conduct illegal activities have been documented before. Reuters reported previously on how gangs operating on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border have kidnapped migrant workers and held them for ransom, demanding that relatives wire remittances to free them.

Now the news agency is the first to detail how Mexican drug gangs have harnessed legitimate remittance networks to repatriate their U.S. drug profits, and the factors that make this activity so difficult for authorities to detect and thwart.

Reuters interviewed two dozen Mexico residents who said they had been paid by the Sinaloa Cartel to act as conduits for remittances, turning the money over to cartel operatives after receiving it. Records from eight U.S. federal court cases and interviews with a dozen industry insiders, analysts and law enforcement agents on both sides of the border paint a detailed picture of how the criminal venture works.

Seven money-transfer firms and banks that responded to Reuters’ queries said they are constantly working to thwart criminals. Colorado-based Western Union, the world’s largest money-transfer operator, said in a statement that it devotes “significant resources to help detect and deter the misuse of our services.”

Jorge Godínez, Americas director for WorldRemit, a London-based money-transfer service, was skeptical that crooks would turn to remittances to move vast sums of money in bite-sized chunks. “They would need to do a lot of transactions,” Godínez said. “I don’t rule it out, but it’s a little more work.”

But drug syndicates appear to be doing just that, due in part to the coronavirus.

The use of remittances to move drug money was supercharged by the COVID-19 pandemic after long-established travel routes were upended by closures and lockdowns, according to four security officials from the United States and Mexico. Between March 2020 and November 2021, the U.S.-Mexico border was closed to all but “essential” travel. That made the traditional method of repatriating drug profits – bulk smuggling of cash hidden in southbound cars, trucks and cargo trailers – much harder. Traffickers turned to other means, the security sources said, resulting in a heavier reliance on remittances. It’s an approach that has endured even as the public health emergency has receded, they said, because the networks the narcos established are effective.

In a sign of growing concern within the U.S. government, the office of the Director of National Intelligence, the principal provider of intelligence to the president, included for the first time this year in its annual threat assessment report the “exploitation of legitimate remittances channels” by transnational crime organizations to launder money. The report did not single out any money-transfer companies.

The use of such transfers by narcos is not a new phenomenon, but the huge increase in remittances from the United States to Mexico in recent years “helps obfuscate this practice,” according to a person familiar with the report. The Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel are believed to be among the drug syndicates using remittances to repatriate drug proceeds, the person said.

There is a clear pattern for how money is laundered via remittances, according to the U.S. official who works on illicit finance, people who have participated in the scheme in Mexico, and federal court documents reviewed by Reuters from U.S. money laundering prosecutions.

In the United States, much of the remittance trade is conducted through corner stores, chain retailers and currency exchanges. These businesses sign on as agents with one or more of the money-transfer companies, for example Western Union, and display the familiar logos of these firms in their shops to entice customers. The retailers receive training from the money-transfer companies on how to use their technology platforms, spot fishy transactions and comply with U.S. anti-money laundering laws. Agents are paid a commission for each transaction they process. Customers can bring cash to these storefronts and send it abroad. Neither senders nor receivers are required to have a bank account.

This fragmented network is key to the functioning of the scheme, according to the people and documents. Although money-transfer companies have internal systems designed to spot and curtail illegal activity, controls largely rely on checks done face-to-face with customers at the shop level. Thus, protections are only as robust as the honesty and diligence of these mom-and-pop agents, some of whom are purportedly in league with drug traffickers, according to law enforcement sources and the eight federal court cases reviewed by Reuters that involved alleged laundering of drug money via money transfers.

They’re just looking for a better life.

Our southern border has been abandoned by President Biden.

His mishandling has flooded illegal aliens into every major American city, caused human trafficking to rise dramatically, and resulted in the seizure of enough fentanyl to kill every U.S. citizen.

Mexicans shipping in fentanyl?

Why would China do this??

New York Post:

Enough fentanyl has been seized at US borders in just the last three months to kill over a billion people, a top-ranking border official admitted Tuesday.

The revelation came as two US Border Patrol chiefs were grilled during a Congressional hearing on border security.

Rep. Tim Burchett cited Customs and Border Patrol figures that at least 9,400 lbs of the ultra-dangerous synthetic drug has been stopped from entering the country since October, about 7,200 lbs of which was seized at the southern border.

“That’s enough fentanyl to kill every American five times over,” the Republican from Tennessee pointed out.

The US population was recorded at 332m in the 2021 census.

The lawmaker’s math was based on Drug Enforcement Administration information that as little as two milligrams of the synthetic opioid — an amount so small it easily fits on a pencil tip — is enough to kill a person.

The killer drug is 50 times more powerful than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine. Although it is used as a painkiller in hospitals, it has to be professionally handled and administered to prevent overdoses.

However, fentanyl is increasingly killing people who don’t even know they’re using it, as it’s often cut into pills that look like prescription pills and are sold as “Oxytocin” or “Xanax” but actually lead to overdoses and death for people who don’t know what they’re taking or how strong it is. In 2022, synthetic opiate deaths averaged over 70,000 a month, according to official data, the highest amounts on record.

Let’s be real: blaming China for the fentanyl is retarded and just an obvious war scam.

You ask these neocons why they want a war with China and they say TikTok and fentanyl.

TikTok only has the same app permissions as every other app on the app store, which means if it is spying than every app is spying. Fentanyl is from Mexico.

What they say is that the Mexicans order the “ingredients” from China. It’s not even clear if that is true (they do not have any evidence of this claim), but the “indredients” used to make fentanyl are just normal industrial chemicals. They’re not illegal in themselves. China is allowed to sell industrial chemicals.

Meanwhile, the US refuses to even arrest people for selling fentanyl, let alone close the border over which it is flowing in.

The Chinese are not the problem here, and anyone telling you China is the problem is lying to you to protect American politicians and oligarchs.

While the cutesy meme freak squad continues to call for endless rivers of blood in the Ukraine for reasons no one is able to pinpoint, there is an actual war brewing in a country that neighbors our country. https://t.co/8g9f6q17sN

— Andrew Anglin (@WorldWarWang) January 7, 2023

This week, the Mexican military got in a very serious firefight with the Sinaloa drug cartel after they arrested one of El Chapo’s sons, Ovidio Guzman.

He’s being extradited to the United States.

Pretty significant fighting is still ongoing in the region.

These drug people seem rather serious.

Needless to say, this situation is a lot more pressing for the people of America than some weird boondoggle in the Ukraine.

Retired Colonel Doug MacGregor appeared on Tucker Carlson Friday night to discuss the situation, and basically said that the entire Mexican government is totally controlled by the drug cartels and this is all leading towards an apocalyptic war inside of the United States.

His analysis might be a bit extreme in the short term. He says that the cartels will start attacking America if the border is closed, and I certainly can’t see anything that would lead the US government to close the Mexican border ever.

However, it is simply a natural fact that you can’t have a war inside of Mexico – a country with which we share a very long and totally open border – without that conflict spilling over into the United States at some point.

Mexican problems have spilled over into our country many times before. Pancho Villa went into Columbus, New Mexico and killed 19 random civilians and burned the town.

Mexicans think very differently than white people. They have very different historical norms.

The situation might not be existential yet, but there is an existential threat in the Mexican drug gang situation. We are totally draining our military on this war in the Ukraine, a place where the US has no interests, because the people in Washington are getting rich off of it. There is no money in defending our country against drug cartels, so these people like Kevin McCarthy simply do not care.

In Mexico, the only thing that can stand in the way of a cartel is another cartel.

Breitbart:

Tamaulipas – Gulf Cartel gunmen continue to spread terror among their rivals and citizens alike by leaking photographs and videos of gruesome executions. In the most recent case, Gulf Cartel members from the border city of Reynosa captured the moment when they set fire to two of their rivals who were still alive.

The gruesome execution follows several days of shootouts in Reynosa where two rival factions continue to fight for control. One faction, called Los Metros, currently controls most of Reynosa and the territories out west while a faction from Matamoros, called Escorpiones or Ciclones, has been trying to gain territory by force, Breitbart Texas reported.

A video recorded by members of the Reynosa faction of the Gulf Cartel and obtained by citizen journalists captured the moment when gunmen from Los Metros set fire to two of their rivals.

The men are almost immediately engulfed in flames and can be heard screaming as another man begins to deliver a warning to members of the Matamoros faction. In the warning, the gunman tells them to stay out of their territory or they will meet a similar fate.

…

The video makes mention of a series of recent kidnappings in Reynosa where several innocent women have gone missing. The motive for such kidnappings remains unclear. In recent days, Reynosa has seen a sharp spike in violence that manifested itself in shootouts, carjackings, kidnappings, and executions primarily on the city’s eastern side.

Meanwhile, Big Cheeto wants to give the Mexican government yet another chance to pretend they’re not totally powerless against cartels. Because the president of Mexico told him to.

How long has this whole cartels thing been going on? It is evident that Mexico doesn’t want or just isn’t able to deal with the problem on its own.

If America doesn’t lead the fight against the cartels, then nothing will change and things in Mexico will continue to be as they are.

To make matters worse, Mexicans who share the same blood as the ones responsible for the cartels in the first place are slowly moving into the United States and expanding the reach of darkness.

Brown people are ticking time bombs.

They carry in their blood the horrors they escaped from. They smuggle brutal and perverse violence inside of their bodies, and infect the land of merciful people who couldn’t even imagine doing the evil deeds that are common in brown countries.

With no border wall and no effective effort to keep the darkness out, it is only a matter of time before cartel executions become an everyday thing in America.

Every time you see Mordor stuff or hear talk of Mordor stuff, ask yourself “do we have this in America?”

Most times the answer is “no, not yet.”

But it’s coming.

Daily Mail:

Four police officers have been killed and seven others wounded in gang attacks in western Mexico.

The Michoacan state prosecutors’ office said attackers opened fire on one patrol vehicle and then twice ambushed reinforcements that were sent in to help on Sunday.

The office said three officers died in the attacks in the city of Zamora, and Mayor Martin Samaguey later said a fourth had died of wounds suffered in the shootings.

The prosecutors’ office did not identify which gang was behind the attack in the city of Zamora. However, prosecutors said one of the attackers’ trucks had been found and local media published photos of the pickup with the letters ‘CJNG’ on its door.

Those are the Spanish initials of the violent Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

A video posted on social media around the time of the attack showed a convoy of pickup trucks and SUVs, apparently about two dozen, all with criminal group’s initials neatly painted on the doors.

Criminals in Mexico do selfie-like videos before ambushing police to share on social media as if it were normal because in Mexico that is indeed normal.

Everyday Mexico.

Extreme violence and its consequences are not even unsettling for Mexicans.

There’s a lust for demonic physical violence deep within their blood.

These brown jungle apes were already like that when our people first encountered them.

This is not the result of white people enslaving them, or not giving them enough free shit, or the result of colonialism or whatever the veterinarians claim caused blacks’ inherent problems.

This is what they are.

If you search for “Jalisco Cartel” videos on the Internet, for instance, you’ll find examples of their demonic blood lust depicted in the above drawings manifesting nowadays in their killings.

For creatures that laugh while they take the heart out of living victims, and blow kids up with dynamite, forming a convoy to attack police in an ambush reminiscent of action movie scenes is nothing.

This is their everyday life.

This is Mexico.

Living in Mexico is basically like an average episode of Breaking Bad, minus the irony and self-awareness.

Hey, anyone can kill a few people and dissolve their bodies in acid by mistake. Really, is there anyone this never happened to?

Racists will use this as an argument why we shouldn’t let Mexicans in our country. But what I can tell from this story, is that we instead need to better educate our immigrants. For example, we need them to learn how to properly identify their victims before they torture, murder them and dissolve their bodies.

There’s nothing we can’t accomplish with education, my friends.

Washington Post:

Last month, three Mexican university students were filming a school project when they disappeared. The last time they were seen alive, they were being forced into a car by two armed men dressed as police officers in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second largest city, in the western state of Jalisco.

Oh, that’s a good traveling tip. If you’re ever in Mexico, and get stopped by police, remember that they could be state police… But they could also be members of drug cartels posing as police in order to kidnap and murder you.

That kind of unpredictability really makes life in Mexico exciting, doesn’t it? By the way, the above picture is actual police – I think.

For more than a month, the case of the missing students remained a mystery. But on Monday, Mexican authorities revealed gruesome details from their investigation.

After they were abducted, the film students were beaten and killed, and their bodies dissolved in acid, the attorney general’s office in Jalisco said in a televised news conference Monday.

The students, who authorities say had no connection to any criminal gangs, found themselves inadvertently enmeshed in an ongoing conflict between two drug cartels. Members of Mexico’s most powerful cartel, Cartel Jalisco New Generation, may have confused the students with members of a rival drug cartel, the attorney general’s office said. Authorities have arrested two suspects in connection with the crime and have issued arrest warrant for six others, all believed to be part of a cell of Cartel Jalisco New Generation.

Mexico is basically a war zone right now. The cartels are running the country, with the government merely creating a veneer of order to gloss over all the criminality.

But make no mistake, the country is going full-Aztec, and fast.

Killing for demon gods or killing for drugs, same difference. [Editor’s Note: Metaphysically it is literally the same difference. The demon gods live in the drugs. -AA]

The whole place is overrun with psycho-killers hopped up on drugs and thirsty for blood. So it’s no surprise they’d just slaughter a few students without checking their identity.

The details of the story are insane.

The three young men hailed from different parts of Mexico but were all students at the University of Audiovisual Media in Guadalajara. They had been working on a film project in a house they were told belonged to one of their aunts, located in Tonala, a city outside Guadalajara.

But it turns out the home was also used as a safe house for a gang known as the Nueva Plaza cartel, headed by a leader known as El Cholo, according to the attorney general’s office. In 2015, a prominent member of that cartel, Diego Gabriel Mejía, had been detained at the house alongside other members. (Authorities said Mejía and the student’s aunt both had ties to a massage parlor that served as a prostitution business.)

Because Mejía was soon to be released from prison, members of his rival gang, Cartel Jalisco New Generation, began keeping a close watch on the safe house. The presence of the three young men on the property may have raised their suspicions, the Jalisco attorney general’s office said.

“Without knowing it, the students were in a place of grave risk, watched by a criminal cell of the Cártel Nueva Generación,” the Jalisco attorney general’s office said.

Then, on March 19, the three students, along with a fourth classmate and three other young people, were leaving the area when one of their cars broke down. Two pickup trucks pulled up, and six heavily armed men approached them, authorities said. The armed men, dressed as law enforcement officers, ordered everyone to get down on the ground.

When criminals can just pretend to be cops right there in the streets, you know you’ve hit peak lawlessness.

Then, they forced the three students, Gastélum, Ávalos and Díaz, into one of their trucks and drove them to a house used by the cartel to interrogate and torture victims, authorities said.

Artist’s rendition of the cartel safehouse.

“It is here that they begin to beat one of them,” chief investigator Lizette Torres said in the news conference. While interrogating the students, the suspects ended up beating one of them so brutally that he died. Therefore, “they had to execute the other two,” Torres said.

The criminals were probably intoxicated, and just enjoyed the violence.

Authorities say the suspects then took the bodies of the students to another location, where they dissolved them in acid. Investigators found 46 barrels of sulfuric acid at the site, and believe that other bodies may have been disposed of there. Cartels in Mexico are known to dissolve, burn or dismember bodies as a way to eliminate evidence of crimes.

So they killed some random kids because they were hanging out in a house where a rival gang member once lived for a while.

This is the kind of colorful event Mexican immigration is bringing to America.

Why wait for WW3 and the ensuing nuclear apocalypse, when we can enjoy a dystopian Mad Max-style ultraviolent lifestyle just by allowing a few vibrants in?

Who needs mutants when you have Aztec turbo-killers?

Two men celebrating the brutal massacre of criminals.

Duterte showed the world what it means for democratic populism to triumph by campaigning on a platform of slaughtering his enemies wholesale, and winning with an overwhelming margin.

Since getting in office, he’s killed thousands upon thousands of criminals, degenerates and Moslem terrorists, and his popularity is higher than that of any leader in the corrupt Western world.

This, of course, makes him a hated enemy of the Jewish media, which is 100% on board with drug cartels running third world countries.

WaPo: The nation’s #1 drug cartel activist media outlet.

Now, Trump is going to meet up with Duterte just as his enemies are whining about their junkies and pushers getting killed. Boo hoo hoo.

Washington Post:

The funeral is packed with children. There are children praying. Children playing peekaboo. Children peering through the glass-topped casket at their friend.

There lies Mark Salonga, the wisecracking oldest of four children, one of 16 cousins living under one tin roof. Mark, 15, was fatally shot by men on motorbike on the night of Nov. 3, leaving behind his family, a baseball cap and his school ID.

In the year and a half since President Rodrigo Duterte took office on a promise to kill suspected drug users and dealers, thousands of Filipinos, including dozens of children and teenagers, have been killed, either shot in police raids with high-death tolls and few witnesses, or targeted by hit men, often after being named by police.

The scope of the violence is such that the roadside killing of a 15-year-old is not big news. On Sunday afternoon, as Mark’s family and friends walked from church to cemetery, there were no television cameras. The press was focused, instead, on the arrival of President Trump.

Mark lived in a Manila that Trump won’t see. The U.S. president landed at the airport, took a helicopter to the roof of a conference center and then drove through closed streets to a luxury hotel.

Over the next two days, he will attend closed-door meetings, including a talk with Duterte. They are expected to discuss North Korea’s nuclear program, terrorism, the South China Sea and other issues. What remains to be seen is whether they will talk about the anti-drug campaign and the violent impunity it unleashed.

I’m sure they will talk about it.

Donald Trump has a lot to learn about how to run a country and destroy his enemies, and Duterte might be the best there is at doing just that. He’s got a lot of experience dealing with a hostile press, Moslem terrorists, subversive elements, corrupt government bureaucrats and more.

He may even be able to help him with public speaking and rhetoric.

This is sure to be a very fruitful meeting.

While President Barack Obama called out Duterte’s rights record, Trump has steered clear of public comment. A leaked transcript of a phone call with Duterte, however, showed that he privately praised the effort, telling Duterte that he was doing an “unbelievable job on the drug problem.”

Yeah, and we have a drug problem of our own. Several drug problems, in fact.

The first is that we have horrible Mexican gang-bangers importing drugs in the country.

Prime targets for the Duterte method of drug-control.

The second problem is that White people are getting hooked on prescription pain-killers because their lives are meaningless and doctors are prescribing them like it’s candy.

Draining the swamp should fix that pretty well, too.
