Mexican drug cartel gang members in most American cities and our military

by Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Rep Sunday, Feb. 01, 2009 at 6:33 AM

Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California-based, prison gangs cooperate with Mexico-based MDC’s to smuggle wholesale quantities of cocaine and marijuana and illegal aliens into the United States from Mexico.



By Michael Webster: Syndicated Investigative Reporter. Jan 30, 2009 at 10:00PM PST

Many of American gangs have developed regular

working relationships with Mexican Drug Cartels (MDC’s)

and other international criminal organizations in Mexico,

Central America, Canada and Afghanistan. Where they develop

sources of supply for wholesale quantities of illicit drugs and to

facilitate other criminal activities. According to federal law enforcement

gang members provide Mexican MDC’s with support, such as

smuggling, transportation, and security. Specific examples include:

Some prison gangs are capable of directly controlling or

influencing the smuggling of multi-hundred kilograms of cocaine

and methamphetamine weekly into the United States from MDC’s.

Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California-based, prison gangs

cooperate with Mexico-based MDC’s to smuggle wholesale

quantities of cocaine and marijuana and illegal aliens into the

United States from Mexico. According to federal authorities.

Additionally, these gangs extort money from drug and alien

traffickers transiting the U.S. Mexican Border.

Often national and international-level Hispanic street gangs

have close associations with Mexico-based MDC’s. Hispanic

gang members reportedly obtain cocaine, methamphetamine

and marijuana from the MDC’s and their surrogate Mexican gangs,

who transport the drugs to primary U.S. drug market areas for further

distribution by American street gangs.

Canada-based Chinese and Vietnamese MDC’s and criminal

groups maintain close working relationships with Asian gangs

operating in Canada and the United States. Canada-based MDC’s

are the primary suppliers of multi thousand tablet quantities of

MDMA and multi hundred pound quantities of high-potency

marijuana to Asian gangs operating in the United States. The

MDC’s also use Asian and Mexican gang members for other

aspects of drug distribution operations, prostitution, money

laundering and gunrunning in the United States and Mexico.

Gang Members are infiltrating the U.S. Military, according to high

placed American law enforcement agencies they believe members

of nearly every major street gang as well as some prison gangs and

Organized Motorcycle Gangs OMG’s have been identified on both

domestic and international military installations.

Deployments have resulted in gang members among service

members and/or dependents on or near overseas bases.

Additionally, military transfers have resulted in gang members, both

service members and dependents/relatives, moving to new areas and

establishing a gang presence.

These same gang members come out of the military and many times

return to their old neighborhoods and with their newly gained

knowledge of weapons training. These gang members with military

training provide a unique threat to law enforcement personnel because

of the distinctive military skills that they possess and their willingness

to teach these skills to fellow gang members. While the number of gang

members trained by the military is unknown, many experts estimates

the number to be in the thousands. This threat that they bring to law

enforcement is potentially significant, particularly if gang members

trained in weapons, tactics, and planning pass this instruction on to

other gang members.

In addition, gang members currently serving in the military sometimes

take advantage of their positions to engage in criminal activities such as

trafficking in weapons and drugs.

Cross-Border gang activity and relationships of U.S.-based gang

members are increasingly involved in cross-border criminal activities,

particularly in areas of Texas and California along the U.S.–Mexico

border. Much of this activity involves the trafficking of drugs and

illegal aliens from Mexico into the United States and considerably

adds to gang revenues. Further, gangs are increasingly smuggling

weapons from the United States into Mexico as payment for drugs

or to sell for a significant profit.

Destabilizing Mexico

With the death squad government, ( thank the CIA ) their civil structures driven into chaos by the War on Drugs ( thank the CIA with their MOCKINGBIRD media cohorts ) and the subsequent arming of these ( thank the CIA ) ‘gangs’ ( CIA clientel ) and coordinating presence of the CIA and DEA to provide the necessary black market capital for a criminal Wall Street banking cartel what can one expect?

Hell, the drug money is the only things holding the thing together.

Real tired of this ‘news agency’ and the nazis running it who are using this actual newswire for CIA propaganda.

The real culprits are directing the muses of this fascist, Mexican bashing spook calling itself a ‘reporter’.

by MoreAboutSpooks Tuesday, Feb. 03, 2009 at 11:11 PM

there is a documentary which aired on PBS about the N-14 gang in the Central Valley.

As it turns out, the FBI had a spook informant in the gang. When one of the N-14 ganmembers went rogue, a hit on his life was ordered. The spook informed the FBI about the upcoming hit, but did nothing.

The FBI allowed the hit to take place-- they were across the street when it went down!!!

CIA, Mexican drug cartels and U.S. client state

by ALL pawns are part of the drug game! Wednesday, Feb. 04, 2009 at 10:55 PM

Micheal Webster is only exposing the tip of the iceberg by focusing on the Mexican drug cartels alone without including the hidden hand of the CIA in the drug smuggling game..

However, we should not accuse Webster of "scapegoating Mexicans", when it is the very activities of the Mexican cartels that enables the CIA to continue this activity of moving massive amounts of cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine to the U.S. client state. Even pawns are vital to this game of drug smuggling..

Mexican communities themselves are most harshly impacted by the activities of the Mexican drug cartels, most of the murders, kidnappings and other violent crimes in Mexico can be directly attributed to the Mexican drug cartels themselves, regardless of the CIA influence. ANY human being can act out in ways harmful to themselves and their communities, reagrdless of so-called "race" or "ethnicity"..

It would be more helpful to provide additional info on the activities of the CIA backing the Mexican drug cartels than engaging in ad hominem attacks against Webster and attempting to silence him. If Webster's writing isn't telling the whole story, than find the additional info and complete the story, por favor!!

Micheal Ruppert is one of the people who has numerous resources exposing the hidden hand of the CIA behind the drug cartels..

Here's an article written by Ruppert pre-9/11;

"It's Legal to be Bad

It is also perfectly legal for a Wall Street brokerage or investment bank to go "offshore" and borrow once laundered drug money to finance a corporate merger or leveraged buyout (LBO). Why do this? If you were a major multi-national corporation in a cutthroat competition to buy a company with a hundred million in sales (which might boost your stock value billion) you would be willing to pay a seemingly outrageous price. [How much would you be willing to spend to make billion? - 2.9?]. All an LBO is is an acquisition financed on borrowed money. If you are Goldman-Sachs, arranging the deal, and you can borrow laundered drug money at five per cent or a bank's money at ten per cent where are you going to go? Remember that since the cost of capital is lower using laundered drug money you are now able to outbid all the other competitors because your total payback stays the same. Does this actually happen? In 1998 the Russians asked for only billion to save their entire economy. With 0 billion a year moving around how could it not happen?

And a major drug dealer, like a Carlos Lehder, a Pablo Escobar, an Amado Fuentes, a Matta Ballesteros or a Hank Rohn, sitting around with ten billion dollars of useless illegal money, is more than happy to loan it at five percent because his money is now legal and liquid. And, if one goes to prison or dies, there is always another dealer to fill the void so that the supply is not interrupted. The drug trade now has power because it is underwriting the investments of the largest corporations in the world. It underwrites politicians. It has hooked the gringos on Wall Street whose own children sometimes die from its drugs. Wall Street cannot afford to let the drug barons fall. Congress cannot afford to let the drug barons fall. Presidents and their campaign finances cannot afford to let the drug barons fall. Why? Because our top down economy, controlled by one per cent, cannot take the risk of letting competition (business or political) have the edge of using drug money. The third world has its revenge for European colonialism but Wall Street still calls the shots. And for every million dollars of increased sales or increased revenues from a buyout, the stock equity of the one per cent who control Wall Street, increases twenty to thirty times.

Remember - The National Security Act of 1947, which created the CIA, was written by Wall Street lawyer and banker Clark Clifford. Clark Clifford is the man who brought the CIA backed drug bank BCCI into the United States. Allen Dulles who virtually designed the CIA and served as its Director, and his brother John Foster who was Eisenhower's Secretary of State, were Wall Street lawyers from the firm Sullivan and Cromwell. Dwight Eisenhower's personal liaison with the CIA was none other than Nelson Rockefeller. William Casey was Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission under Richard Nixon. Former CIA Directors from William Raborn to William Webster to Robert Gates to James Woolsey to John Deutch all sit or have sat on the Boards of the largest, richest and most powerful companies in America.

As we near the millenium one thing is clear to anyone who sees the economic system clearly. The system is on the verge of implosion. Privately owned and operated prison companies trade on Wall Street. One of those, Wackenhut, is a virtual CIA proprietary. We have entered, at the end of the industrial age, a phase of growth where we must incarcerate an ever expanding number of people to sustain the growth of all the companies profiting from law enforcement, crime, imprisonment and war. And the overheated stock market must grow or collapse. The reason this nation spends five dollars on prisons for every one dollar on higher education - even after seven straight years of falling crime rates - is because there is more profit in it in the current economic model. Hell, we have turned police departments into profit making entities through asset forfeiture. This is insane!

This economic model is patently no more sustainable than a snake eating its own tail can be considered nourishment. Organized crime has become the government and it seeks to make all citizens become subliminally guilty participants, fearing for their own livelihoods, believing that the system will collapse if someone really tackles the issues facing us - as surely as the iceberg faced the Titanic.

The system will collapse anyway - unless the economic model is turned upside down - unless a way is found or offered which will make it more profitable than all other ways - to do the right thing. The only thing that will sustain the current economic system, and its dependence on drug capital, is a police state. New enforcement programs involving HUD and the Department of Justice such as Project "Safe Streets" and "Weed and Seed" - along with their corresponding butchery of the Constitution - show an emerging police state already. The conduct of Congress and the White House in the CIA drug investigations further demonstrate the arrogance, the fear and the ever-increasing sloppiness of a system out of control.

The veneer, the illusion that we live under the rule of law cracks before our eyes, grows thinner and ever more difficult to sell with each passing minute. All at once the fears of the right of a New World Order and the fears of the left, of new concentration camps and genocide suddenly become one and the same thing. Dogma matters little to the oppressed. Pain tastes the same whether you call it Fascism or Communism. Carlos Enrique Lehder Rivas, co-founder of the Medellin Cartel, who was given a life sentence in 1990, now enjoys the sunshine at his home in the Bahamas. He frolics regularly with gaming magnate and owner of the Atlantis Hotel Sol Kerzner. His guests at parties include Kevin Costner who played (I am sorry to say) both Elliot Ness and Jim Garrison. Manuel Noriega will probably be out of prison before Bill Clinton leaves office. The Kosovo Liberation Army has been funded with drug money and has trained with Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden. The son of a documented drug trafficker, who very few people in this country even know anything about, is "scheduled" to become our next President, simply because he has the most money and he and his backers control most of "The Pop."

How much time can this government have? How much time does it deserve? Bill Clinton's Farewell Address should probably be, "Apres moi, le deluge."

After the Taliban's Mullah Omar outlawed growing of poppy crops in Afghanistan, this created a bottleneck on the global opium market. Since the U.S. invasion and installation of Hamid Kharzai, the poppy growers are back in business and the global opium trade is fully operational. The false flag operation of "hunt for Osama" was a great smokescreen for the global drug cartels, CIA and Wall Street corporations to continue fueling our habits of addiction..
