Michael A. Braun, the former intelligence chief for the DEA, testified this week at a hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee that "collaboration between Latin American drug cartels and groups such as Iran's Quds Force and the Islamic terror group Hezbollah is growing 'far faster than most policymakers in Washington, D.C., choose to admit'" as reported by Guy Taylor for The Washington Times.
Many critics of the U.S. open border policy long have warned that Muslim terror groups may exploit the smuggling routes which have been established by the drug cartels in order to gain entry into the United States.
According to a former U.S. intelligence agent terror group Hezbollah has established itself in Mexico, and is providing explosives training to the drug cartels:
He told 10News the group receives cartel cash and protection in exchange for Hezbollah expertise. "From money laundering to firearms training and explosives training," the agent said. * * * Tunnels the cartels have built that cross from Mexico into the U.S. have grown increasingly sophisticated. It is a learned skill, the agent said points to Hezbollah's involvement.
Last fall Iran -- a long-time sponsor of Hezbollah -- allegedly hoped to involve Los Zetas in a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's Ambassador to the United States but thankfully the solicited man was a DEA informant which resulted in the terror bust.
At the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing earlier this week multiple U.S. intelligence officials test testified "that Iran is prepared to launch terrorist attacks inside the United States" as reported by Greg Miller for The Washington Post.
No doubt the intelligence warnings will continue to fall on deaf ears in Washington, D.C. where the politicians would rather risk the lives of Americans than secure the border.

I was discussing this with a friend a few days ago. We both feel that the Iranians are training these cartel members in Mexico and in Iran for unconventional warfare against the US. If they are in Venezuela, they are most likely doing it there too. There is a noose tightening around us and we better start paying close attention to it.
The economy would take care of itself if government would get the hell out of the way. I'll vote for the first person who pledges to build a wall, even if it's Mittens. Better yet, mine the damn border and blow them to #$%@ing bits. Let the resulting bone yard serve as a warning that their next step may be their last.
If you're sensing that I don't give two sh!ts about lawbreaking, foreign invaders, you're spot on.
Drug Cartels Establish Ties With Big Banks
HSBC Laundering Drug Cartel Money?
Money quote: "From what I saw, I came to suspect HSBC had become the Mexican drug cartels’ bank of choice,” (former HSBC employee John Cruz) said.
They’re probably using the Mexican-occupied former U.S. national refuges in southern Arizona as bases of operation. I’m amazed at what’s happening to us and the nation at large simply won’t pay attention.
I’ve read reports of Wall Street sending account executives to Latin America to round up business. The “pop” from inflated drug profits (inflated because Prohibition turns pennies into dollars) is huge. And all that money has to be cleaned.
OK, just so I am clear on this, and please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Eric Holder and Company put a plan in motion to give “aid and comfort” to the “enemy” in the “ war on drugs”, they willfully and knowingly used taxpayer money to supply the “enemy” in the “war on drugs” with Weapons. They Financed the “enemy” in the “war on drugs”. These weapons were then used by the”enemy” in the “war on drugs” to Murder Hundreds of innocent people, they were also used AGAINST our OWN CITIZENS BY THE ENEMY IN THE WAR ON DRUGS, At least one Federal Border Patrol Agent was Gunned Down by the “enemy” in the “war on drugs” with these weapons.
2. We The People have spent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS Fighting the “enemy” in the “war on drugs” since President Richard Nixon signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER Declaring a “War on Drugs”.
3. Every Government Agency and Every Public Servant in America is involved in fighting the “enemy” in the “war on drugs”.
4. We have entire Federal Agencies and Educational Institutions dedicated to fighting the “enemy” in the “war on Drugs”, not to mention Every State has Redundant Agencies fighting the “ENEMY” in the “WAR ON DRUGS”.
5. Every Branch of our UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES is now and has been for years, HEAVILY INVOLVED in fighting the “ENEMY” in the “WAR ON DRUGS”.
6, We know for a Fact that our “Enemy” in the “WAR ON TERROR” is joined at the hip, has an established partnership, and is Fighting side by side with our “ENEMY” in the “WAR ON DRUGS . see here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2841933/posts
Now with these amounts of Public Resources being used at every level of government in the Entire United States fighting the “ENEMY” in the “WAR ON DRUGS”, Why is this not TREASON???
Eric Holder and Company have admitted that this was all done as an effort to OVERTHROW THE SECOND AMENDMENT OF THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION, AND THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF.
TREASON I SAY
TREASON
TREASON
TREASON
MAY EXPLOIT??? They're here. Heaven only knows where they are but they're here. Haven't prayer rugs and copies of the koran (spit) been found on smuggling routes?
If there wasn’t an insane WOD these cartels would have never come to power
How many of them are being “trained “ by Obama’s buddies in his Administration? I hear Obama is having pressure put on
legislators to not back laws that attempt to hold Iran culpable for the Bombing in Beirute,83? And his administration is doing everything it can publicly in the matter of throwing a wrench in the Israeli Defense plans to protect Israel from
Iran and Mass Destruction? Sounds like they are operating closer than Mexico.
Bingo: Clancy et al have been “futurizing” about this very scenario for years. I hate that they’re right, but it may put me over the hump in finally getting that .308 I’ve had my eye on...
I think the Muslim connection is behind Obama’s decision to arm and abet the cartels.
Bump!
How nukes get smuggled in - and strategically placed...
You make a good case - any ideas on ways to avoid this future reality?
How could they NOT know? And - how is it that we knew?
Wells Fargo and probably Bank of America also have been laundering money for the cartels.
I think that’s why our politicians have created the ‘war on drugs’. Its really just a money making machine for international banking system, its why we will never ‘win’ it.
All those stolen identities were used to help raise that vast amount of money for the Obama presidential campaign. He is indebted to the international banks for that.
America has been incredibly messed up by these corrupt and dastardly people.
