Could A U.S. Intervention In Mexico Become America’s Next Vietnam?

We have a president who, at the end of his term, is already announcing he's going to go for a third term in the United States. What is one of the only ways you can do that? War powers act. We'll run the risk of radicalization and run the risk of turning some of these criminal organizations into guerrilla forces and having our own FARC and the Southern border. And our youth is not like an American youth. Our youth will grab an AK-47 and get in the back with truck. You encounter a Taliban type setting. It's going to be a war of attrition. Could the United States military actually go to war with Mexico? It sounds impossible. But as America retreats from conflicts overseas, the next major battleground will be much closer to home. Ed Calderone is here to explain exactly what a US military intervention in Mexico would look like and what happens if the cartels decide to fight back. Major drug cartels like the CJNG could mobilize into an insurgency and wage guerrilla warfare against the United States like the Taliban or the Viet Cong. And as always, before we get started, please make sure you're subscribed to the channel so you never miss an episode. Ladies and gentlemen, we could be in for some crazy decades ahead and nobody breaks it down quite like my buddy Ed. It's the one and only Ed Calderone right here on the connect with Johnny Mitchell. It's like the FARC out in the Eastern side of Columbia. It's so dense. Yeah, then they have like fucking, they put landmines on the approaches, they got drones. They got good snipers. Not like these guys are shooting randomly. So they got like legit fucking accurate fire. So no, they're not getting them. And that's why Menchow's net was never able to take over. Like that's why a hellesco couldn't has never been able to take over Mitchell Cod because it's two. Yeah, it's it's one. It has the most. Michokhan has a has a tendency for like Michokhanos, Massatecos, people, people from that region are, you know, good fighters. And they have a lot of kids. And they have giant family and gleeces and they're very loyal. And nobody from the outside is ever going to come in there and tell them like, hey, can we, you know, figure something to get our, get to get this and these criminals out of there. You mean our family members? No, right, right, right. I'm like, who are you? Don't you guys, aren't you guys blowing people up with blow torches? Aren't you? Yeah. Criminals. No, it's like, it's like Ukraine, Russia, and that part of Mexico, like it's the videos you post. I'm just like, when is this going to end? Yeah, it's a, Michokhan is kind of like one of those, it's Michokhan, it's parts of Durango. There are certain parts of Mexico in the Sierra, Golden Triangle area, where the people that own it, the cartel members, the families around them, the businesses that they've fostered for years, the churches that they helped build, the schools that they've made, the people that are from there, but live in the US now, that had some sort of immigration process paid for by some of these, some of the organizations. People within politics in the United States, who have a political career now, that can trace a family lineage back to this place. Sure. This is all the power they have. And all of a sudden you're going to get some special operations guys from Mexico coming in there trying to gain control over the area. The only thing they managed to do was take out some of the infrastructure as far as their vehicles, maybe some of the armed groups rolling around out there, but by the end of the day they're replaced and people are back and they're not letting the government in in any way, shape, or form. It's a more of a tradition. They'll go in there and they'll take a Durango. They found all these luxury cars in this big, gin warehouse belong to some of these criminal organizations. And it was like a vehicle parade. But that doesn't do anything realistically. It's just that all they took all the bosses, cool cars. But they're still there. What strategic interest does Cartel-Hallease couldn't have ever have in Michoacán, though? Michoacán, there's no real ports to bring in chemicals or stolen fuel, fentanyl, precursor from China. Besides the land that they make, the dense forest that they make the superlabs out of, right? It's 500 pounds of methaday or whatever they do. Why do they want a region that's more south of them, further away from the border, not near any port, you know what I mean? - Yeah, it's number one, siege mentality. If you want to hide and defend, that's a pretty good place to hide and defend. That's one of the reasons why that place is, I mean, Lafamila, Lafamila, Michoacán is out of there. The Los Caballitos and Bladios came out of that area. It's been a place with constant violence for a few decades. The strategic importance of it, one, it's a fallback spot and it's a place where you can hide from the government and easily defend. It's a Torbora, if you want to equate it to that. So that's one of the reasons why that place is so valuable. Number two, Chipotle, avocado toast, people of the United States loving avocados and shit. That is-- - Yes, I love brunch. - Multi-mute, there's a giant business there of people growing avocados and other types of products out there. And all of them get taxed by these criminal organizations. And it is a giant money maker for them, and it's very passive. I mean, you get a kid with a cellphone walking into one of the biggest avocado grows in Mexico and just hand him the phone and say like, "Hey, if you don't pay us 50 grand every week, we'll start shooting workers." - Right. - Right. And I know they got it too. - Yeah. - But I know they got it. I know Gringo's personally like from Washington state that own avocado fields are Michoacán. - Yeah. - And they're like, yep, we pay. - Yeah, and it's easy money for them. It is very little work. It's a revenue stream. That's a reason why it's a strategic value as well. And yeah, they have massive laboratories out there on the hillsides. They have places where they're utilizing as training camps as well. Michoacán is one of those places where a lot of these training camps in schools are still active. And again, the value of it is, it's in a geographical space where it's easy to defend. It's easy to hide in the populace. The local populace has the culture of protection already within it. And every time somebody pops up that wants to fight against them, EA, that mayor that got shot last year. You know, they get martyred and they forget. And again, here we go again. The last time, the last time the people that really did try to do something about it was when we had this whole phenomenon of these auto-defense, these guy wearing white t-shirts. And it turned out that all of them would basically one big ass cartel. - Right. Or they got flipped quickly after they took out the bad cartel, they became the state police. And then they said, wait a minute, there's way more money in meth trafficking than defending the people. - I knew people from down there, when that was going on, I was still active. And they were saying that they were basically seeing the cartel members just put a mask on and a t-shirt on and just like, oh yeah, we're good. Pushing out these cartels from this area, but because you want to take it over. - Okay, so it wasn't even like, it wasn't a homegrown. - Some of it was and there was some of that going on, but dude, you're a cartel member. You know how to shoot guns and shoot like that. And all of a sudden, your community starts doing an uprising against whatever. - Yeah. - So there was a bunch of ex judicial killings, abductions. People would go into these out-of-the-fence groups and just fucking give the game some vengeance over the rival cartel guys that they used to fight against. Now through the guises of now there are out-of-the-fence. - Of course. And a lot of these leaders of these out-of-the-fence groups ended up in prison and/or worse, you know. And that's why you don't hear a lot about them now. There are a few groups out there in some of the indigenous communities in places like Guerrero and stuff like that who are doing uprisings as well, but it's mostly just community policing and just kick out the government out of the town because they don't trust them anymore. - Yeah, and now that the cops are gone, and now we can get the cops running up. - Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, that's one. And also, oh, the cops are gone and all this cartel shit had to stop happening. Yeah, because the fucking cops were the cartel. That's another issue that people just don't realize. Yeah, why are they kicking out all these cops from these areas? Oh, it's because they're all cartel members. - Okay, so we haven't spoken since Mencho, God is bullet, since after the World Cup in Mexico where when Mexico was like the shining example of a nation, ascendant nation, like the Mexican culture is killing. killing it right now. It's inarguable. It's all over the world. Mexico is the darling and it should be, right? But obviously it's much of it as smoke and mirrors, but is cloudy as shame, bomb. Is she really, is she really coming after criminal groups because Mexico's turning a corner or is it, is it because she's feeling the heat from the United States? It's, it's external pressure. I mean, the U.S. is basically involved in, on the, on the ground campaign against criminal organizations in Mexico. Okay, but if that's true, let's start with Sena Loa. Ruben Rocha-Moya in April. He's the governor of the state of Sena Loa leaves fleas in the middle of the night because they, the U.S. has just unveiled an indictment against him. He steps back and hides and doesn't tell anybody where he was. He was inside of the government building where he was, his office was, by the way. He supposedly, if I can go, go in hiding. He has a military, a special operations military attachate deployed as a security detail from Mexico, which is, people should think about that for a while. Okay, so that means from Mexico City, like Mexico City sent a detachment of special operation soldiers and federal police to protect a guy who had just got a red notice from the United States for being a cartel affiliated individual. Right. And he goes way back with the choppers, like way back. He goes way back with Andrés Manuel López Obrador, brother. He is the former president of Mexico. Former president of Mexico and basically the spiritual and or actual leader of the federal political class in Mexico, more than, he started more than, so he's, he's the guy. Wow. Rocha Moya is his brother. He's said this multiple times. Claudo Chambeum, when she was a campaigning in Sinaloa, she said, like, hey, like they say that he's involved, but he isn't. And like, I'm not involved that you can look whatever you want. There's no involvement. This is before, this is before he was elected president. And then a bunch of politicians have come out that they were abducted. They were pressured to vote one side or the other to drop out of races because the lowest choppers had an agreement with Rocha Moya that they were going to give him the governor, governor editorial ship. Right. If they, if they, if they were allowed to work. Right. And this is, this is, this, this is all going on with the backdrop of the Sinaloa cartel still kind of having some sort of cohesion, having some sort of agreements between all the historical heads of Mayo is still cool with everybody, all that shit's going on. And then a DA informant of some sort, I think he was a former cop in, in, in, in, in, in Culecon, got, uh, fingered as a informant. And the, uh, people loyal to those chapitos picked them up with a full cooperation of some state agencies in, in, in, in Sinaloa. And he was murdered along with 11 other people, I think, including a 13 year old boy. And that is what got Rocha Moya in the crosshairs of the US government. Gotcha. Okay. So he basically allowed, he, they, he exposed the informant to the chapitos. Okay. This is part, this is part of the, the case behind them. So this guy. So it's just clear they, to anybody from Culecon that, that, that he is involved. Of course it is. But what I want to know though is it's, it's clear that this is the new strategy for the, for the Americans is to come after the crooked politicians, right? Like that is the new, it's almost as important as the kingpin strategy, maybe even more now. Why is Mexico not picked him up yet? Because he is the best friend and almost spiritual brother of the political founder of Morena. There's, there's, there's a, how can they? It would be, you know, it would be shooting themselves in the foot if they do. And it's also when it missed an admission that, you know, shit is very wrong in the, in, in the Modena Party. And they can't have that. They're, they're, they're, they're between the rock and a hard place, basically right now. The US has weaponized this new type of terrorism, a terrorist destination, and is basically using it to now say like, hey, a, a, a, a, a, a, your son's visa has been revoked. And, and the, Andy Obrador, Andres, basically, they call him Andy. Andres's kid is, is currently running for office. And he's going the same route as his father. Um, and he just had his visa revoked, right? And he's running for president. He's running for, he's running for, I think a federal, uh, federal seat, I think, but not, not president yet. No, but that's, that's in his glossary. You know, right. Um, but he's, uh, his visa was taken. Um, but this is so, this is so crazy because this is Mexico thumbing. It's nose at the US, because what, when the US wants you, especially with kingpins, it seems like, I mean, shame bombs extradited. I don't know how many people since she took office, a shit load of high level people, they arrest you and then they ship you to us. Now you've got a politician. It's almost as blatant as like our people, our politicians being in the Epstein files, right? It's so, but she's clearly weighing it like my, my party's support from my, my base is more important than appeasing the Americans. Yeah. So what is, what is the danger to her in that? Could, could the CIA kidnap a Mexico's president? I mean, is it that, is that dangerous? Yeah. I mean, I mean, I mean, number one, can it? Can the US kidnap a president in the middle of the night? I think we answers, yes. Right. Wait. There's a precedent for this. I think it happened once before. Yeah. They have, they have, they have these black Doritos that throw lasers at you and you'll cook from the inside. Apparently is whatever. Don't worry about it. Okay. Oh, can you go, what? The, the, the, some sort of energy weapon that they utilized during that Maduro raid where they made a frequency inside of your body that heats you up from the inside out is what is out there in the internet. And I've heard okay. Right. But they over over the over the, over the place where they picked up Maduro. Inventively of that, Mexico is one of the last bastions of the left in South America. You see the, you see the dominoes falling, you know, who do we have left? Ecuador chose to invite the Americans in and currently they're engaged in some shenanigans down there. So shit being blown up, people that used to hide in Ecuador, can't hide in Ecuador anymore. So they have to fucking go somewhere. Venezuela, president was kidnapped in the middle of the night with the black Doritos and all that shit. And now they're, there's a, I mean, I'm hearing, I don't know, on your end, but I'm hearing American military operations on the border where these guerrilla forces from Colombia would just basically hide out and camp out while shit cooled down in Colombia. So now that, that's, that's, that's, that refuge has gone for them. So well, it's even, it's even worse in Colombia. They fucking, they're letting the, you know, who's in. Yeah. So yeah. So they're really fucked. They're about to see some forest fires. They're about to see some, that's, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's says, that is, is, is, is in Colombia. They, they won. We're talking about the Jews, people. We're talking about the Israelis, Israel. Yes. Yes. But now you have, now you have an American citizen in charge of Colombia, because that guy's American citizen. It's the guy you won. It's actually an American citizen. And you're seeing all these military upkeep operations against them. So there's no reach there. So, so it, all these places are kind of like, Morales is being guarded by the fucking coca plantation people somewhere, where he, where he's at. And he's probably going to get picked up as well. So you have all these people on the left of the political structure in, in South America now kind of like on the, on their back leg. Yeah. It's pretty much just, it's pretty much just Mexico and Brazil are the only, and they're the most powerful countries in Latin America. And they're the last ones that are standing up to this US imperialistic, you know, neocon warmongering coming from Washington. Everybody else is sold out or, or you know, been subsumed by pressure from the United States. You also have, again, the, the issue with Mexico is this. It's, it's, it's a majority led country by a leftist organization, Morena. It is, it has been voted in, in some of the biggest lands. and slide victories in history. So it is a very popular political party. So it's not like it's like a fringe thing. We're not at an as well levels here. There's no, it's not, the hunger is hasn't reached. The economy is kind of pretty stable still. Yeah, businesses are going under and shit like that and like everywhere in the world right now with the way the economy is. But the issue in Mexico isn't poverty, isn't some of these some of the, I don't know, what you would see in some of these banana republic communist type environments. It's not nowhere near any of that. But it is openly defying the US. And in many voting aspects be it condemning what happened to the Palestinians and going against the kind of Israeli policies and stuff like that. And also now against the US. And Americanism in Mexico was at an all time high. And it's completely and utterly, and you look at comments sections because they tell you not to look at them, but I look at them and every now and then it's a pretty good way of got a gauging thing. It is. Anything that is posted in Mexico about the United States is immediately tagged with Epstein and Israel. And that's a sentiment that a large segment of the population Mexico has right now as far as how they view the United States, right? And that's on the one end. And on the other end, the United States is actively looking to end its fentanyl problem and it's a cartel problem in Mexico without the permission of the country to operate within its borders. So it's blown up a few people already of whole fishing crews have gone missing in the ocean as well in Mexico. In Mexico. Tell us, I had no idea about that. There's fishing collectives all across the Pacific have missing people that they don't know where they are. And it's obvious that they were probably on a boat somewhere in the ocean and got blown up and are, I don't know, something. There are not, but verified cases of CIA operating in Mexico doing advisory and training roles within state forces of states that are governed by people who are not from Morena or more of the political, conservative political side of the spectrum in Mexico like the PAN. So the U.S. is operating in Mexico. It has been three years. That's not the whole, will they put boots on the ground? I think the question should be, will we see a full incursion of United States Marines in Northern Mexico in the next few years? That is what we're not waiting for. Like, is the U.S. going to boots on the ground in Mexico? It's happened already. These operations have happened already. Are we going to see a large-scale military invasion in Mexico? That's kind of like the next question we're about to see if we can answer. You sent me a link of Vera Yesa speaking about the fact that El Mayo Sambada gave himself up and he, that was his extradition to the United States. - Right, right. I listen to him a lot, I really respect him. And a lot of the stuff he says is pretty spot-on. - You're talking about the DEA, it's a retired DEA agent, Berreas. What's his first name? - Berre Yesa, I remember the name. - He's the guy with the cowboy hat that you always see on podcasts. And he's the guy who basically worked in Cinaloa for years as an undercover. And he was involved in the whole Kiki-Kamarena murder scandal, meaning he basically discovered that the CIA, 'cause they were doing raids on stash houses in L.A. And they would get ready to arrest the guys and some guy for the CIA would show up and be like, "What are you doing?" - Yeah. - No, no, no, no. Take the cuffs off of them. And that's where he started pulling the thread where he discovered the link between cocaine trafficking, the CIA, Rick Ross. Essentially, he fucking this cop stumbled into one of the biggest scandals of the late 20th century in America, which was the Iran Contra scandal. So he was on a podcast the other day claiming that Maya Zambada was not kidnapped, but actually volunteered. He turned himself into the D.E.A. I'm not sure if that's true. - Yeah, well, but that's what you're talking about. - Yeah, I'll give you my opinion on that. Why would you give yourself up and be put on a plane with a family member of El Chapo Guzman? Why would the plane near on be modified in such a way to get around federal inspection in Mexico by the military and the Air Force, they changed a bunch of serial numbers, they added extended fuel tanks on it for a farther flight, they bought that plane somewhere in South America through CIA shit, they said the FBI did that, it's a whole CIA operation. Okay, so you, so I saw the pictures of him while he was being questioned and I've been in zip ties in handcuffs before myself a few times, you know. And that man was in handcuffs, that man was put in zip ties on that plane. So if you're giving yourself up, that's gonna work thing to do. When they showed up, when they landed in the US, they let go of the pilot. They didn't let him go. There was an agreement between the people involved and he was meant to walk. Later on, he was picked up in Mexico again, put in federal prison and then extradited to the United States, which is the most hilarious thing in the world. They fucked him, but all of this is classic, you know, fucking part of war or shit, you know. And I don't see any part of this where El Maya Samana or his family were benefited. Outside of the fact that we're now seeing a very embattled Chapeza that's being currently dismantled and they have less territory now. And most of their family members are protected federal witnesses in the United States. - Right, obviously they were the biggest winner out of this to call them winners. I mean, everybody is flipped, you know, dads, dad is withering away at ADX Florence. So if you can call it winning. But, you know, that's why I don't see a deal, I don't see the El Maya, this being a deal for El Maya. It's just like it doesn't make any sense. On my, I don't know, maybe he knows something that we don't know when he gives out a bin in, but I just don't see it myself. But it didn't, and it's interesting take. - And if he did know something, why was he sentenced to life in prison, he's not gonna get the federal death penalty. They just don't do that, they just don't do that. - Maya, especially in New York. So, which is where he was sentenced. So if he really had all this dirt on the politicians, like they speculated that he did, why did he just plead out and take his life sentence? Like if I, if I was Maya at the end of my life, and I had dirt on all of these Mexican politicos, and the government was offering me a chance to not die in prison, and I would ask. - I'll put my fucking hand up all day. - Dude, so, let me keep my money, full immunity to my sons, and I'll give you everybody in that, in the cabinet, if you want. - 100%, and he was betrayed by politicians too, like the, in collusion with the Cheppitos, like why wouldn't you, but it's interesting. I guess he didn't have as much dirt as we thought, or what's up with it, or he was, he's on his way out. And he knows it. He has, he probably has a pretty severe diagnosis, which has been apparent with the way he looks, and some of the reports we've seen as far as his health. And he probably is on the first stage as a dementia, you know? Whatever he was consuming for a few years, probably isn't good for brain health. And so, I think, more so than anything, he was picked up, not for what he could provide information-wise, he was picked up to start something in Mexico, and I think that's what we're seeing. I mean, you, that's a disruptive move. I mean, you can't involve yourself and go full force into a country. Then you make the country ask for it, I guess. It would be one way of looking at it, but this was planned. I don't see this being random. I don't see this being, you know, ship. So, let's just, the plain modifications alone. The plain modifications alone. And I know a little bit about fucking turbo commanders. I used to fly around in one with a governor. The plane modifications alone of that nature, that's something unless they have their own fucking people just working on a 24/7. And that's probably four or five months, four or five months, let's say. Then figuring out how you're going to achieve this, because it's very risky operation. You're getting one of the sons of El Chapo Guzman, who historically hasn't been really involved with a lot of this stuff, who is more of a familiar to convince somebody to go into a meeting that is not going to be a real meeting. And that meeting was between Rocha-Moya and the former head of the university, who, university in Mexico, have like a political power. So there's some sort of political right between both of them. And in this meeting, Guen was his name shows up. Rocha-Moya doesn't show up, or maybe he does. It's kind of weird. He says he was in the US at that time, who knows? But Rocha-Moya doesn't show up. Guen shows up. El Mayo is the one who is going to mediate this meeting apparently, and then his bodyguards get shot. Guen gets shot and then gets placed in a truck and his body, and then the state prosecutor says he was killed in a robbery attempt at a gas station, which is bullshit. Again, state involvement in this is pretty, you fucking wild and open, like if people want to pay attention to it. And somehow all this happens, and it's just the Chapa Guzman son that does it. Nobody else, or El Mayo basically says, like, yeah, I'm going to surrender myself to US authorities, let me kill one of my good friends, Guen, which I know, and I have known for years, for no reason, in this fake meeting that didn't happen, and then it doesn't make any sense. - It doesn't make any sense. So maybe Mayo has all this dirt, and maybe they did offer him a deal, and he's like, no, I'm just going to, I know I'm dying anyways. Let me just go out the biggest G in the history of narcos. I'm not even going to give up these dirty politicians who probably gave me up. - Yeah, I mean, I'm taking it to the grave. - It's a grave. - It sounds like somebody who's pretty cool in the culture. It sounds like somebody who's never arrested for almost 50 years, and somehow made it through. - Right, and let's be honest, he definitely throughout his career, fed people to authorities. So let's not, you know, sing his praise without forgetting that, you know, he was a bad guy, but, you know, like it was just interesting to me that no politicians have really, no big indictments besides that of Rocha Moia and a bunch of people from Cinaloa who we kind of all knew anyways were involved, you know, with cartels. It's just surprising that nobody so far, you know, Harfouge hasn't, you know, unveiled some giant indictment of somebody in Mexico City from the words of, you know, Moio or Choppo, they can't, they can't, so the reason they can't is because if they do, it ties under his Manuel Lopez Obertador directly into cartel influence and inheritance, and that is something they just can't do. - And they because then the marina party is gonna be fucked. - That's what you're saying, okay. So is Harfouge part of the marina party? And Harfouge is part of the marina party. Harfouge was with the current president of Mexico when she was the head of government in Mexico City. That's where he had his assassination attempt by the new generation cartel. They ambushed them pretty hardcore ambush. And I think Harfouge is in a hard spot, you know. - Right. - The Harfouge out of all the people in politics in Mexico, Harfouge is a pretty interesting character. He comes from politics, his family was very much involved and there was an actress there. But he made it through the federal police academy. I have friends of mine who went through with him. And I have friends who know him personally. And he's an interesting character, smart. One of the smartest when it comes to political, when it comes to law enforcement and security shit in Mexico, like he is the guy, right? But this is such a difficult place for him to be in because it, I mean, he, if there is any sort of tie between Rocha Moya and the scene of law and cartel and it's verified by federal prosecutors in Mexico, there's a pretty easy line between that and now having the scene of law and cartel being a financial supporter or backer of Andreas Manuel, but it's over there drawing his election process, right? - Right. And again, these aren't hypotheticals. And this Monday, a little bit sort of a door went to the hometown of, - You went to, you went to Butte de Aguato. Yeah, he went to Butte de Aguato and there's a video of him with Choppo's mother and he's saying hi to her and he's saying, hey, just, just be cool. - Yeah. - You know, 'cause we're being filmed right now. - Six, six, seven times, you know, there's like videos of him speaking to some of the townspeople there. It's like, hey, don't buy Chinese drugs, buy local drugs or better. - Right, he's championing, you know, local opium poppy growing and stuff like that. So basically, if Harfouz probably wants to be president, he's got a toe of the line. He can't betray the Miranda party, obviously. - There's nobody right now in politics in Mexico that I can see making a successful run for the presidential seat in the next election. It's like a lot other than Harfouz. - Yeah, okay, so America, this puts, you know, the CIA and the Justice Department, people, you know, obviously, who I would say the evil forces that want to subvert Mexican sovereignty in the US, this makes it really difficult for us because we thought this is the strategy, right? Is going after the politicians that are colluding with the kingpins, but it's just impossible. It's, this goes to your theory of why there's going to be military, there's going to be a military clash because this leaves us no other choice in the minds of the Washington war hawks. There's no other choice. We could put an indictment out against all the politicians in Cinaloa and the Mexican government goes, yeah, there's done what we could do about it. - Yeah, and again, I just see people that have this whole theory about me being a CIA operative guy. I do not want that to happen. The US military intervention has very bad track record in the past few decades, yeah, yeah, so not a good thing. - Can I just interject real quick? The reason they say that, because I've thought about this before, it's because you speak such good English. So could you give a quick two minute background on why you speak such good English with almost no accent? - Mira, in primer lugar, las personas que dicen es una bola de pendejos, número uno, número dos, les van a ser falta a manos para pelarme la verga. - (laughs) - Que planten un árbol de plátanos en mi tumba para que cuando después de muerto me las siguen pelando. - Ah, I don't know, I don't know what-- - He, what a beautiful language. - He said you could plant bananas on your tomb and peel them off. And in some Mexican village, that being sucked by dick. - Yeah, oh, poesia. - Do you hear me? - No, I say this because I have family in Mexico. I have a lot of family in Mexico and I have family in the United States. It's a weird fucking place for me to be in. I am both not really a Mexican because I show immigrant. Immigrate, and I'm also not really an American because I'm an immigrant. So it's a fucking, you know, rockin' a hard place. And that's many Mexicans out there probably have the same fucking experience that I do. Um, the, the reason why I have this theory, just like I had the theory about Donald Trump going the route of naming these people terrorist organizations before he did and kind of like called it. I can see a moment in our, in our, in the future, in the near future, where the global war kind of slows down or shuts down. And we see a military objective in Mexico of some sort. And I think the reason for that is queer, I guess, for many people, if they can see it. One, the United States is using its, it's losing its ability to remain present globally. And we, I mean, this, Ran War is pretty interesting to see how they've managed to kind of survive this onslaught from one of the biggest military powers in the world. The technology element in this is also something people need to be aware of. There are vehicle plans all over Mexico that can build easily some of the Shahidron missiles if they wanted to. Now, are they, no, are there any plans to do so? Who knows? But if the United States engages in a military operation with a country like Mexico, and there is open hostilities between both countries, Mexico has a pretty good shot at, but at having a pretty defending itself, defending itself, because guess who's going to come out of the woodwork? It's not just your, because you have an excellent military, you do have an excellent military. Guess who's going to come? You've been invading Micheal Kahn. You invade Halisco, Durango, with American troops. Guess who is going to come out of the fucking forest, and suddenly you've got an extra 100,000 fighters that know the region and have the weaponry. And all of your enemies now have somewhere where they can put their money into, right? So what do you mean? What do you mean, explain that? I mean, the United States has a very strategic, beautiful gift as being between two oceans, Canada at the top, those guys are nice. And Mexico at the bottom, which is historically where the fires have been put, you know? The Soviet Union had one of its biggest fucking spy bucket agencies in Mexico City because it was just right next door. The United States realizes it has a strategic weakness with Mexico. And if it doesn't take control over its ability to decide, which I think a lot of this cartel, going after this cartel organizations has now shifted to politics because it's very much about regime change now. It has, I mean, fentanyl and cocaine and people smuggling is what it is. But they're going after politicians now and people who are into fuel with trafficking and all this. It's a different type of game now. The United States is not going to survive into the future without its industrial plant. And it doesn't have its own. It doesn't have the resources, it doesn't have the resources to man its industrial plant. And the only one out there that is currently ready to go and plug then to the United States is the one on the southern border with Mexico. So you think there's an economic strategy to invading Mexico? It's all economic. It's a strategic and economic strategy to do. It's not a Mexico. It's to gain dominance over the whole of the continent. It's going to blow up and shit. It is. But to me, that's, you know, that's short-term end of the empire, belligerence. Hey, look at, you're right, we're kicked out of the Middle East. So it's a strategic unwinding of US hegemony in the Middle East through this fake war that's really just biting everybody time, you know, to decide who's going to control the straight or hormones with Iran. In the meantime, in the meantime, we'll insider trade. So we're making billions, right, when we try to make an announcement. And everybody knew that this was going to happen. That's why we don't have any fuel shortages because they were fucking preparing for fucking almost a year. Exactly, exactly. So, so it's, it's now, okay, we've, that unwinding has happened. There's the American population, which is suffering from stagflation is controlled by, you know, drones in every city, you know, data centers. The control grid is there, but we still, these weapons manufacturers, $1.5 trillion defense budget. It's got to go somewhere. So we have to deploy this. So this is, to me, that, you know, Mexico is one of the targets because think about it. We've successful, we've had coups over the last 100 years and almost successfully in almost every single Latin American country from Argentina, Chile, obviously all of the banana republics, right? Mexico's, you're on our list, you know what I mean? And we could safely say now after the, God bless the Trump administration for revealing all the JFK files, right? All JFK files revealed something extra, not just the involvement of, you know, whoever was involved in the JFK thing, like, I think it's not too clear anymore. That says let us, but I just go like this, that's how you know, I don't, I don't, I don't cover up the ball patch, dude, I, that's, that's all him saying that I don't, I have no idea what, who, who, who we means, um, the office, we also revealed the fact that, uh, that most of the presidents in Mexico from the 60s on forward were all CIA backed and, and paid war agents, right? Um, and we can be almost a hundred percent sure that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Klavela Shea mom are not CIA backed presidents in Mexico. Exactly. And we can't have that. We can have that. That is, that is kind of like an, like, we can be pretty sure about that. And I think that's why the war on drugs has just escalated into a war on the political class in Mexico. Right. And we're going through a regime change, uh, no, um, again, the, the, the, I don't want military intervention in Mexico. And I'll, I'll paint a picture for people that might, that, that, this is why this is not a good idea. And, but I think it's where we're going though, but this is why it's not a good idea. Um, you will, number one, if you do any sort of military operation with the, by the United States of the kind that we've seen in the past, you know, um, it's probably going to be an expeditionary force sent into Mexico is probably going to be a naval blockade of Mexico. There's going to be a mass exodus or evacuation of thousands of Americans living down there. If not more, um, so we're, it's a shit show. A lot of these people are going to be very upset because they're leaving behind property, investments, businesses, family, dogs, whatever you want. They're going to be pretty upset about that. And that's not going to be a good political thing for the United States. Um, you are also going to have a mass exodus of people who are saying like, Hey, you know what? This looks like it's about to turn into Syria. Let's fucking leave. And where do they go? I think they go to Guatemala, right? No, fuck up. They're going to try and make their way to the US as well. And I don't care how they scamper over that wall, dude. Yeah. And so they're, that's, you're going to see the wave of migration that that's going to produce is going to rival anything that came out of Syria. And if you believe in the globalist agenda, right? If you, if you think that the central banks and the Yamis and a combination of all the, the Neocons, you know, the anti-human kind of cabal, if you believe in that, then that theory would make sense. We want to use mass migration, we want to use, you know, war to cause mass migration to basically, you know, speed up the fall of the West. That, you know, what you're saying kind of makes sense, right? And yep. And that's like at the beginning of this offensive, if it happens, which it might, you know, and by the way, where, where do you think a naval blockade would happen? Like what part of the country, the Pacific coast? Okay. Yeah. And I'm not looking at China, but I'm looking at China. That's going to be the reason why they do it, if they do, you know? Okay. So all boats coming in and out of Mexico need to be checked, you know, all something of that nature might happen. You see, if this happens, and again, this is something I've spoken to from, from people like, people like Goffin, some of the people that I know down there who are in the military who have these notions of what could happen if they, they had to react to something like this. And, and my friends in the US, who are analysts and people who are on this, on this weird side of the internet, you, you have this way of migration. You have a full, militarized border. You have shortages on the shopping aisles, because we are one of your biggest trading partners, and people just don't figure, don't understand that until that trading ends. There is an economic hit that you're going to feel directly. You're going to feel it in your store aisles. Then you have the issue of drugs now completely being cut off, because once you militarize that border, truly, nothing gets across, right? Once you militarize that border, truly, or you close that border, because now, if something like this happens, you're not, Senator was not going to be a three hour wait. It's going to be a few days' wait, if you want to get across that border, if it's militarized. So now we have people going through drugs, through withdrawals in the United States. You have a health crisis going on with people just fucking trying to scale off this. That's not even taken to account the fact that we have, Mexico has a giant population living within the United States already. So if they want to suddenly politicize themselves, and they're no longer, they're trying to make a way to buy a little house in their ranch somewhere in Michoacán wanted to get back. Now they're like, now they're true believers. Now they saw a family member of theirs getting blown up by a reaper drone somewhere in the hillsides of Michoacán, so now they want revenge. What would be the strategic objective of the U.S. and invading Mexico. The stated objective. I mean, it would be pacifying cartel violence and the flow of drugs into the United States, but realistically, it's about securing its industrial base for the future in Northern Mexico. I mean, that's, that's, I think that's, that, that is the end goal. And it would essentially look like annexing Northern Mexico. Yes. That would be, okay. So the way that Russia is, is going to take the Donbass region in Ukraine. Yeah. It's, it's going to, it's going to be the United States Crimea, I think. Okay. That makes sense. Alright, because that's where all the Machia, the waters are, the factories that make all the shit. The industrial, the, the, the investment you would have to make as a country in the United States to not only build the industrial plant, but also program the citizenship to work in that industrial plant is just not viable. It's not viable. And it won't happen. And robots, robots are still, I mean, sexual lots maybe are pretty close, but I don't think I'm working robots like that. I got my, I got mine upstairs, but I don't know, she's being a bitch right now. So it's not talking to me. I went to this drone conference and I saw some of the robots they have. And it's, we're not, we're not there yet. No, you're still going to, you're still going to need, you're still going to need cheap labor. Yes, small hands for the, for the shelves to polish the inside of the shelves with the small hands, small brown hands, small small, small hands. So are we talking about how deep down in, so we're talking about taking Baja del Norte, so the northern half of Baja California, at least, I mean, theoretically, I think Baja goes Sonora definitely goes, the whole state of Sonora, the whole state of Sonora goes Chihuahua. That's a big region, bro. That's a huge swath of land. All of that goes. And then all the way to the east and Tom Olipas. Yeah. And monitor, you think Monoray's going to say like, no, we don't want to be Americans. Right. Right. Think about it. You've been there. Yeah. All they all, they think they're Americans. They're all white chickens. Okay. So, but you're talking about, you're talking about like, bro, that would be so egregious because remember, we already stole 25% of the original Mexico. So now we're talking about it's taking another 25% of it and pacifying it. You're going to pacify it. You're going to pacify, you're going to take out the cartels there. Right. You're going to eliminate the ability for them to do extortions and paid protection and abductions and all that. And that's going to be the reason why they invite you into secure all this area. Okay. That's that's that's kind of the argument, I guess, that they're going to use. I see. So it's not going to we're not going to actually absorb those states into the United States, like Puerto Rico or something. It's just going to be controlled effectively by us. Yeah. I think that's what I see. I mean, and it's it's a it's a pattern, you know, where are all these events happening, you know, northern Mexico? Where are all the resources in northern Mexico, concentrated northern Mexico? So, so so for people, you know, there's always dummies that think this is a good idea, right? You know, they don't they don't get mad at the Purdue family for getting all Americans addicted to opioids, but they're like, yeah, yeah. Okay. Faggot. Why? So for people in the comments that think this is a good idea that that's what the United States needs to do, that cartels are the biggest national security threat. What what do you say to them? And what is the counterargument to that? What could go wrong with the US trying to take 25% of Mexico taking all of the northern states of Mexico? I had a conversation with Gaffa about this. It's like what is going to be the response? And he said the same thing, the same thing that most Mexicans think. The current wave of anti American anti Zionist anti all that going on in Mexico is going to radicalize a youth what we have in Mexico. In our youth is not like an American youth. Our youth will grab an AK-47 and get in the back with truck and go after some fuckers. Right. Right. So I think we'll run the risk of radicalization and run the risk of turning some of these criminal organizations, which they are, into guerrilla forces and having our own FARC in the southern border. And that's going to that's going to lead us into like, hey, they can make Shahid drones and fucking just fly them over the border and doesn't matter. You don't have a golden shield yet. So that leads to kind of, they need to figure that out now. So that's one issue. Second issue is the fact that this, this fight, how many people do you, how many, I know many Marines and a lot of those Marines have the same last names as most of the people that I went school, you know, for sure. Yeah. They're wrong with the areas are and there's all these guys. You're sending them off to fight a war against people that look like them and the same shit for breakfast that the, I know loyalties and all that have been an issue, haven't been an issue for the United States because most of your enemies have been foreign. But like, that's Mexico and the United States are more in common than we want to think. You know, they did this, they did this DNA research on people from people in Texas who are denying the fact that they were any sort of Mexican. It turns out the most of them like 80 percent, you know. So we're in twice. So now you, but to take to keep those industrial zones in Mexico and the north, we would have to have boots on the ground. Yep. So those guys are targets. Tell us what you were telling me before we started rolling about the military capabilities of the CJNG and those in the state of Michalcon. Yeah. And how those could be deployed with a guerrilla force if we had, if Americans were in Mexico. Yeah. I mean, so again, it's incredible. Yeah. Again, I'm not shitting on the US military and their capabilities or do the US has some wild capabilities. Of course, but it also has a shortage of people that want to join the military. And there's a recruitment issue and they're not happy with us right now, especially if you're on a ship in the straight of hormones. No, no. So what could happen? What could happen is that the United States now has a giant target on their backs. They're an invading force. They're not where they were are welcomed by the local population. And they are in a place specifically in the northern part of Mexico where there is a history of IDs. So they're going to be experiencing IDs again. You have a region where plastic mines are kind of in the invogue, Colombian style, plastic mines are invogue out there. You have a place that has, we've already gone through the evolution process of drones dropping bomblets on people. That's something we already have in Mexico and they're pretty good at it. We already have drones being utilized for surveillance. We already have drones that are not going to be able to be jammed because they're going off a wire. The only thing we're missing now is those kamikaze drones. And it's really because we don't have a lot of spent or access to a lot of military stockpiles like they do in the Ukrainian conflict. But once they figure out that you can, you can actually print that out and make it yourself and not depend on having up like an actual RPG rocket. You can lob onto it. And then it's game on. All that in an urban setting or rural setting of northern Mexico where people are not only experimented and have a long experience is fighting in that region and for that region. They have a vested interest in fighting that region because it's their home. So now you encounter a Taliban type setting where it's going to be a war of attrition. Mexico has and has within it the capabilities of manufacturing things that could be lobbed into the United States in a deep strike manner, just like the Ukrainians have. So that is on the table now. People need to realize that's on the table now. It's not something that is outside of the confines of what could really happen. The Iranians built up their fucking drone program and for years waiting for this. They were ready for this. And all those lessons learned. I mean, the U.S. basically built their own Shahid drone based on the Iranian design. And now it's loving it back at them. So we have a president who is about to, who at the end of his term is already announcing he's going to go for a third term in the United States. And what is one of the only ways you can do that? Well, I mean war powers act. All right. Right. So you need somebody to go to war against and like look around. Yeah. It's kind of like you guys. I mean, your friends are like. - You can beat him up, yeah, you can beat Israel up really easy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was all fuck. - Yeah, and that wasn't, like who else is out there? Let's see. - Okay, so tell us about the snipers. There's also like really capable snipers within the cartel ranks that could potentially be deployed in a reala fight against the US. - We always laugh at the fact that a lot of the times we see all these rifles being captured by cartel forces and stuff like that, they don't have any sights on them. But I, we have, if you go on my Instagram account, manifest a real podcast, you'll see a lot of the special operations community in Mexico kind of send me, they tag me in the shit and because I've trained some of those guys and we have like a relationship going on. But they tell me about people they find with precision rifle strikes. Like far away rifle strikes that have found marked sighting systems on rifles that have found things that you would equate to a trained long range shooter. You found, they found things that are related to some of the same training they got as far as being precision shooters from afar. 50 caliber anti-tank rounds being utilized against some of their forces from afar distance. This is easy to access technology for them and it's also they get a lot of practice. - For sure. - And put that in an urban setting, you know? - Right. - So we're talking Juarez, Tijuana, Nogales, Monterey, Matamoros. - Yeah. Yeah, I mean, this is the hypothetical, but think about it. Now it's full level. - Now you have cartel members are now being armed by the defending federal army, defending against this invasion. And now you have to. - If you don't think that can happen, you don't know history because we, I mean, we ourselves have allied, we did it in Vietnam. We allied with Cambodian and Thai and Loation. Heroine syndicates to fight against the Viet Cong. I mean, this has happened all over the place. Governments have allied themselves with criminal organizations in times of war. - Yeah, it's not gonna be in, like again, it's gonna be very costly. And if like everybody has in their minds have imagined a civil war in the United States and what the possible flashpoint for it could be. - This is it. This is, think about the mass amount of people within government that would be very opposed to an open military campaign in Mexico where they're seeing their family members flee, their investments burn. And where they're forced to fight people from the land that they came from. - Yeah, this is, this is almost a civil war. What you're describing is effectively a civil war. - Yeah, and I think people need to kind of like pay attention to that aspect of it because it's, you know, it's very, ah, send a drone and send the seals out there so they can write a book about Mexico. I don't know, whatever it is, it is, you know, yeah, abducting the president in the middle of the night. They can see that invading Mexico and trying to pacify it with boots on the ground. - Yeah, we'll see. - We'll see. - That will, that could be the final straw in the death of the US dollar because that's what we have right now is the D dollarization. You know what I mean? Like the bond yields today are at emergency levels. So I think that would be the final death of, you know, the rest of the world be like, oh, we're done with these people. We're selling the rest of our US treasuries for gold. That may be, that may be it. A cartel cartels uniting with the government of Mexico to fight the gringos would be fucking awesome. - Technically, there are already-- - Technically, they're already united in some way. - Yeah, that's right. But I mean, kind of more openly. - Yeah, and now it's a thing, think about it. You send seal team six to Khalifco. And you show up and you kill all these guys. We're protecting El Cero Trez, who is an American citizen, by the way, the head of the New Jersey cartel is the US citizen. - Born in Santa Ana, California. - Somehow you get, you, you, you, you Obama him. I think Obama drone struck a US citizen, right? - Yeah. - So you do want Obama on that guy. And then the video comes out and people with their cell phones or whatever, whatever. The people there are not gonna go to Almencia's grave right now. It's covered in flowers. That guy was not a villain in his community. - Right. - He was a, and if, I think it was very smart for the Mexican military to have participated in that and done that act of putting a bullet in that person. Because if it was Americans, I think we would have seen a very different reaction. - Right. You're talking about uprising at this point. That's an act of war, like killing our, our guy is an act of war. - Yeah, and I think, I don't know, I don't know. I think US intelligence was involved in that, but the Mexican army were the ones that did the deed. But, and people don't know like, there's still millions of people in Mexico who, who think like that and have that in their culture, where it's like the, the government is the enemy. The gringo is the real enemy. And, you know, the, if we have to choose between the lesser of the evils, it's gonna be the controlling criminal organization. Millions of people. - Yeah, I mean, from, from Durango, all the way to the Southern, you know, indigenous communities, obviously Michoacán, even where we went in Halisco, just an hour from fucking Guadalajara, where the corona beer factory is, and where they were having the World Cup, they're, they're having training camps, and there's guys on horseback riding through the town. I mean, do you think those guys are like, you know, welcoming the US Army? - No. - No stop. - No, and again, you, you're killing the people that they've been living off of for decades. I mean, who's the government in there? I mean, I mean, if anybody want doubts any of this, go to Halisco and see El Mentez Grave, it's covered in flowers, and his, the funeral was filled with people who were on the FBI's most wanted list, and nobody did anything, because they know they can't, because they're surrounded by the best body armor in Mexico, the populace. - So, so it's just coming back to the present, you think that all of these, all of the extraditions that Shane Bama is doing for the US, all of the big headlines, the big strikes against, you know, Cartel, Halisco, and Alejandro Nacion, or against, you know, whoever, the big busts, the big pot, you know, you sent me videos of giant weed eradications in Michoacán, right? You think that's just business as usual. It's just, it's just the rotation. - I think they are in a lot of ways doing things that haven't done in the past. They're going after municipal presidents, they're going after politicians in certain parts of the country of their own party. I do recognize that. They are going after historically untouchable Cartel members. El Mencho is one of them, and we can talk about the weirdness of that operation, but it was the Mexican military who was there, and did the act. But why is all of this action happening now? It's because we just lived through a presidency of hugs, hugs, not bullets. And also, we now have the pressure of the United States pointing at Venezuela, and then like, you know, that Trump mean to like your rights. - Right, so it's like, so it's like they're walking this tightrope, the Miranda party, between cracking down on organized crime and cartels and dirty politicians whilst not giving in to too much pressure and from the gringos, right? Not giving away their sovereignty in order to maintain their power base, right? - Yeah, and just, we're about to go through a election cycle in Mexico. Just people should pay attention to who gets, pick the candidates. Baja is a pretty good example of this. Do you have a governess there who is under some sort of US investigation, a bunch of leaked audio of her, speaking to supposed FBI agents about her cooperating, have been leaked online? Her candidates, or the people she supports as a for the upcoming elections seem to all be not the favorite ones. So there is already a split happening inside of Morena where they're trying to get rid of. any sort of association to some of the people that have been named in some of these indictments or who are currently under investigation. - Is the Miranda Party being infiltrated by Zionism? Like are, you know, the way our politicians have basically been, all of them have been bought off by, you know, Zionist interests, the lobby. Is that going on in the Miranda Party in Mexico? - The involvement of Israel in Mexico is wide and has been going on for decades. Are they involved directly with anything going on with Morena or specifically influencing things within Morena? - Klaugache Mom was sponsored politically by a few companies tied to BlackRock. And I don't know if that has any sort of connection, but that's the only thing I've seen and were some of the people that might influence things on that side of the world might be involved. There's a few contracts going on as far as security contracts and some of the software being kind of deployed out there is all tied back to Israel. - But I guess you guys, the reason they flip us, the reason they buy us off is 'cause we give them all our money. So as long as you guys aren't funding them, you're not in too much danger, you know what I mean? I guess, but it's interesting. So the same phenomenon that's happened in the US, you think you can win a political office in the US with being an open Zionist like in the past. - No, that's really any more. I mean, in Florida, the fat guy Randy Fein just won, but you know, again, like he was in a district where it's all like 70 year olds, 70 year olds and up. So they're all, they're just watching Fox News. So in the future, it's gonna get a lot harder. It already is in most places. - So that's going away. I think same phenomenon in Mexico is gonna happen. Anything tied to them, because again, the Mexicans are pretty open, they see that now. It's like it's an awakening, the issue is that in Mexico, we view them the US and Israel is the same thing, right? That's the way it's viewed and I know in the US, they view it as like, oh, and we'll get them out. But from the Mexican perspective, it's like, oh, they're both one and the same, right? In Mexico, we're going through the phenomenon where anything we're there involved is being kind of rejected. And anything we're political class figures of Modena who are currently under investigation or having indictment or have some sort of relationship to any of that past, they're getting burned as well, right? So there's, I think the end, I don't think it's the end of the Modena party, I think it's probably gonna be a division within the Modena party. And everybody that is going to try and get distance from all this cartel-related shit and move on to the other side. And in some way, shape or form, maybe more play along more with the US as far as what they're doing. I think that's where we're seeing politically and an influence out there and they are, in the coming elections in Mexico. But yeah, the, as far as involvement is really government involvement in Mexico, I think it's, I mean, they see the strategic importance of Mexico. They see the strategic importance of some of the resources that represents and the fact that it's Mexico, that the United States, the largest trading partner, and it's right on the border, so it's valuable. - Yeah, it is valuable, but I think ultimately, I've come to the, I've looked kind of even wider, and I don't think, I think Israel is just one node in the more, I think all of these problems are run by central banking and by the US and by, like I think Israel is kind of like the fall guy for the real power, which is, again, central banking around the world, and it's just a node, it's just a node for the military industrial complex. I think that, it's being wound down. So, I think that's just an easy, that's easy for people to digest. Oh, it's, it's, you know, the small hats, right? Like that's an easy scapegoat, where, I'm not saying that what they're doing is an evil, but it's being driven and funded by a larger force. So anyways, but before we go going, since I've kept you here so long, I want to ask about some cartel shit, and I wrote it down because there's so much going on, I wanted to keep it all together. Tell me about the Wachikol Fiskal. This is, this is, this is a crazy crime, it's awesome. It's not something I'm, it's not something I'm really kind of like into, like it's, like I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm a kind of autistic and I focus on shit. But Wachikol, Wachikol, the word Wachikol is basically stealing fuel and selling it irregularly without any sort of taxes being put on it, without anything, just basically straight profit from stolen fuel. Right, right, which is basically taking money off, taking fuel out of the system where it's regulated and people, and, and, and, and the government is making money off it, and everything's being taxable, taking it out of that system and smuggling it and moving it through other means and not paying anybody shit and just making a shit on a money, which I think, that, that, that's, that's a Wachikol fuel, that's fuel smuggling. Right, so, so it, historically the cartels have stolen the oil from the, the Pemex government's pipelines. Historically, but now it's members of the Mexican marina, it's members of the Mexican military, it's members of the Mexican government, and a lot of these people again tied to Andres Manuel Lupas o Rador. The, the, they, they, they arrested a guy who's an admiral for the marine, for the Marines during Andres Manuel Lupas o Rador's term, who was kind of responsible for some of the, the largest scale fuel theft ever documented in Mexico. It is in the billions. Obviously enough, some of the same routes that they were using to smuggle some of these, these fuel and some of the same platforms they were using to move this fuel was to use to move guns around because it's perfect, you know? A new generation cartel was tied to some gun smuggling around some of this fuel trafficking. But this guy basically made a run for it once the investigation was on. And out of all countries, he chose to reflect to, he chose Argentina. - That seems to be the spot. (laughing) - You know, out of all the countries, he's like, I'm like, where do I go? And let's see, where could I, what, how about the place to took in the third Reich? Surely they don't care about a little stolen fuel for Mexico. So did they get him? Did they arrest him? - They arrested him in Argentina. Although I think he would probably hand himself in. But whatever, they supposedly arrested him in Argentina and obviously Americans were there speaking to him probably really quickly. It's an interesting thing that he chose to run to Argentina being that it is the United States biggest ally in South America right now. They're about to extradite him back to Mexico this after months of kind of stalling. Which should be kind of telling. Because all of us were expecting this, like Golden Bullet from El Mayasambada tying government people to cartel shit and this is this, I mean, he's an admiral. - Right. Of course, Benchon. - Of course, Benchon knew, oh my God, Ed, your mind is so brilliant. What he's saying is, they killed, they killed Benchon, a guy who definitely was doing business with this fool in the watchy coal rackets. They waited 'til he was out of the picture before extraditing this general back to Mexico. - Yeah. - And that could be it. I don't know, it could be it. I mean. - Why else? - Sounds like it. - Why else shoot a dude in the middle of the night and leave his house with everything in it? And not do any sort of sight exploitation and anything of that. Because once you see it and touch it, once you get reporters walking into El Mentez compound and like, look at all these bullets and these ledgers. All that shit becomes inadmissible. All that shit is contaminated. It admissible, so that goes away. So that's why that was probably done the way it was I see. But now you see this guy coming back to Mexico. That's interesting. I don't know what's going to happen to him. Hopefully he doesn't suffer a stroke or something like that in prison. - I think he might, I think it's going to be a Galein Maxwell kind of a deal. So you keep your mouth shut and then we'll get you a pardon when the new, the new president comes in. It's something like that. That is some high-level shit. Yeah, I mean, as far as people in custody that are out there, I think he like you and his it's very underplayed. Nobody really talks about that anymore. I really learned about his his extradition today. And it's he's pretty valuable. I mean, think about it. He is an admiral for the Mexican marine Marines, the La Marina, the Mexican Navy. Who was involved in one of the biggest fuel thefts in history, dwarfing anything as far as money that the car sales would make. Of course, whatever that ties all the way to some families in Utah, maybe, and people in the United States who are in high level oil industry, who when they were found out, three of the people involved were killed. One of them mysteriously in a shooting accident at a gun range. And then the Americans were all the all the all the marines that that exposed this this this scandal. They were summarily. And then this guy flees who isn't who is directly involved. He flees and he's arrested. And I think the importance of this guy and what he knows and his involvement at the levels he was in. I think we'll also tie directly back to address mine a little bit. Mariana. Wow. So it's it's a it's a it's a it's a big ass game. But what you call the fuel theft and trafficking of this fuel when it comes to money, it dwarfs anything. Drugs fentanyl get the fuck out of here the fuck out of that shit. I mean they have an admiral working for that shit think about. So were they exporting and the reason I ask is because I'm seeing all of these new articles like American journalist really getting wise to this because now what they're doing is it's actually American fuel companies that are smuggling fuel from the US into Mexico. So it's not stolen from Pemex anymore. It's it's so is it corrupt. Can you explain that like like what is the racket there what is the racket of of cartels and the Mexican government importing fuel from the US. It's untaxed fuel. There's it's untaxed fuel. No money. It was being exchanging hands or to any sort of people trying to tax it regulated. It's it's a fuel being put into the system that has basically materializing a very cheap matter and and now you have people owning various gas stations in a certain region who are filling all these gas tanks up with a fuel that they didn't even. You know it's at the same price as the other places but it's it's to higher profit margin. A GI norm is higher profit margin and the people involved in this are at the highest level. It has to be it has to be so it's so say it's a it's an oil company everybody's got to be crooked for this to work right so I believe so it's got to be an oil family from Houston. That has an agreement you know through an intermediary with you know cartel related. And political related people in Mexico you need to have somebody at the border that you know that will allow that truck to go through without any sort of fucking checks of balance as being done. Yes so you have somebody at the border that's like this everything the Mexican aduanas Mexican aduanas Mexican Mexican Mexican customs right and they have somebody you have to have somebody there and I don't know you that's a cut right there. Then you have to transport it through whatever parts of Mexico and put it until you put it into your into into your fuel station right so that's that's another aspect of and then and then you get it out there and now now you have to pay taxes and you have to get the government involved there so there's has to be some sort of compromise there where they're like wait a minute you're selling how much fuel. Where did you get this like there's there's has to be some shit going on there so yeah it's it's it's it's it's it's it's a small part of a giant bracket that is out there probably that we're just exposing. The President before and there's modern episode are basically opened up the energy market in Mexico in the past every single gas station Mexico was only be mix. Now we have Chevron and Shell all these right so you know there's there is a racket going on from the US to Mexico in the same way that there is a racket going on from Mexico to the US again. It's fucking wild and and just like drugs which now like I bought some US weed when I was in Mexico City from a deported Mexican who had a Southern Hick Axx he lived in Atlanta. He got caught selling dope now he's back selling Cali weed in Mexico I mean it's amazing you live old enough you live to be our age Ed and you're just you're blown away. What can happen dude the drug trafficker the American drug traffickers are wild. Yeah and also the head of the new generation cartel American right he's the guy said that's the guy said or tres that's what they're saying right. I called it when it when it happened I saw his relationship to El Mencho and well he's the he's from the Valencia family so he was he and they were the ones from carto Milano who were the predated the the new generation cartel so he's fully tied in holy tied in connected and I don't know if the fact that he's an American kind of like solidified it because. There are issues with killing an American with a drone maybe I don't know that they let Israel lock up they're killing you know Palestinian Americans over there like it's nothing and we don't do anything about it so I'm not it's possible it's possible they could hesitate but yeah I think I think it's more complex. I think it just makes it a bit more complex of an issue. It's not just the evil Mexicans is like but there's but that guy's an American right out of all those out of all the cartels right now we're operating like it's interesting like the shifts you're seeing. So those chapters are shrinking and you just saw four bodies being dumped around I just read that this morning what was that about well rumors are that it's the it is it is kind of like a warning against the growing influence of El Caffe. Which if people kind of remember back that was the Ariana feeders are telling what remains of it. But that doesn't make any not to me it doesn't really make sense I think it's more of a growth of the new generation cartel and their influence in the region and they're trying to like get into DJ proper. Why would you leave it around the list of the end day for specifically it's an interesting symbolic place yeah yeah something's happening in Tijuana Tijuana's bubbling again yeah and I think he one is not only bubbling it's like it dude there's some shit going on there. It is it is back to a place that I recognize probably at the start of my career where they were openly kind of moving around right there's there's some shit going on. You see that there you see a decapitated new generation cartels business as usual and it's actually growing. You see a la magisa kind of making inroads into historically control territories of the chapisa and what were those 14 bodies that they found in Zacatecas that caused the military to go up there and they were like hung symbolically from some kind of wall. I don't know I mean that's a me that's a los mayo territory in new generation cartel like front line territory so it probably has some some sort of relationship to that I don't remember specifically. Okay how about this how about this for a theory the the remit the remaining two. Guzmán sons that are still hiding out running the chapisa they're already in talks to surrender okay because Rocha Moya's compromised I mean they're not extraditing him but he's he's kind of on the run you know what I mean. So they're influences waning big time and Kulia Khan how about this they turn themselves in they've still got according to what I've heard they still have the alliance with the C.J. Angie the chapisa. The two the two sons turn themselves into the D.A. they're given protection in America. C.J. Angie comes in takes over the chapisa all the chapisa rackets in Cinaloa and Kulia Khan the war ends in in Cinaloa and they come to some kind of agreement with the Maísa. I don't see it, I don't see it. I see a emboldened magisa that has some sort of influence within the Mexican government. I see a chapisa that is now being treated as a hostile foreign enemy by the Mexican government because they see that they've been basically collaborating with the foreign power. So that's, so I don't see that. All right, right. And I see a new generation cartel right now that is currently being displayed by the U.S. military as the main objective, I think. I mean, it's the perfect villain. Totally. It's the perfect Cobra commander fucking entity that for the GIOTA fight, you know. So you do think that Maisa will maintain after this is done? I think they're going to be the way control of Cinaloa. I think they're going to be the winners out of all this. Yeah. It's, I mean, not of all Mexico, but just of the North, they're, they're classic turf. Yeah, they're classic turf and they have a legacy way of making and moving things in, in that region that other groups that are going to start out will not have. So I think they're, they're probably strategically, they're probably in the best place. New generation cartel, despite what might, many people might think it's not a cohesive single organization, it's many organizations kind of like gathered it behind a franchise. Yeah. And that, and they could fracture any day. I mean, tomorrow they could have like a fight and now you have four cartels instead of one cohesive group that have some sort of agreement between themselves. But they're, they're, they're everywhere though. I mean, they're, they're in Baja, they're in Sonora, they're, they're trying to make inroads into Sonora. They're all the way to the east. And the last sophisticated drug tunnel found on the border between San Diego and Tijuana was tied to the new generation cartel, which is the first one of its kind to be found. So how was that different than the other time? It was a pretty good, pretty good sophisticated concrete line in the entrance ways. It came out of a dollar store on the, on the o-tie side and had ventilation. It's pretty, it's pretty, it was a pretty well built tunnel and it was tied to the new generation cartel, which is interesting because that's not something that they've displayed before. Right. And if that is the case, then then they have, that means that they have enough comfort time, security, armed people, guns and, and just power in that region that they can just build a fucking tunnel across the board, which means, so the tunnel went to a dollar store on the U.S. side. Yep. So somebody that owned the dollar store, can you just own a dollar store or is it, is it franchise? You can do it. I'm not sure if it was like a, a chain one, but it was like some sort of a bargain store on a, in a little strip mall right across the border, which is, I love it, dude. I love it. It's one of a hundred, it's one of a hundred probably out there realistically. But well, let's go shoot some content there, man. Yeah. Let's go buy all the store, go to a dollar store. We come in like pedophile hunters. There's a tunnel under here. Yeah. That's great content. Nobody's doing that. Drug tunnel guy's searching for drug tunnels. Ed, you're the fucking best, bro. Thank you so much. You just got this genius mind. You're so successful. I fucking love you, buddy. And I'll be back in California soon. So, fuck yeah. So go follow his podcast, people. We're going to do a collab on this. So just go over to manifest radio on YouTube and watch his podcast because he doesn't need any help with the knife sales, you know, but buy knives from him, buy merch from him, take fucking self-defense classes from him, you know, if you can get him. Yeah. I don't, I don't do self-defense classes. I'll show you how to get out, how to get our cuffs and break into places and all that shit. That's what I meant, dude. If you want to take down flock cameras as your guy, I mean, any camera, any camera, maybe, maybe make one of these for yourself. I'm sorry. What is that? Can you zoom in, John? There you go. I'm just trying to, I don't know if that's a bomb, I don't know if we can show that. It's just a cool little antenna, it's a, it's a, it's a, this will produce an EMP, basically, it's an electrical magnetic pulse. So it's not something you would want to activate near anything electronic. Okay, understood, understood. But if you're, but you could use it like if you're like, it lost in the woods, maybe, I don't know. No, no, it's like, hey, let's turn off this device that is threatening. Getting our safety, I gotcha, I gotcha, don't worry about it, it's a, we, we, we, we, we, we have a lot of capabilities and a lot of people that we work with and a lot of these training events and our participation in some of these seminars and going to DEF CON and all that is it, dude, I'm, I'm, I am a very big supporter of individual liberties and the responsibility it takes to kind of protect those liberties and come out, let's show you some shit. Hell yeah, dude, go to follow him on Instagram, he posts all his dates and then yeah, go, go hit up his YouTube channel and dude, I'll see you very soon, man, fucking great to see you brother and, uh, and yeah, yeah, until next time and until, peace out.
