This looks like he is serious about controlling the drug cartels.

” This looks like he is serious about controlling the drug cartels. “
A more cynical person than myself might wonder if he might be ‘controlling’ the competition for his ‘sponsors’....
After I posted the article I translated some of the comments posted at the link.
Most feel this is for show. You are probably right. I was told that Mel Zelaya (the removed President of Honduras) was trafficking drugs when in office. Planes would fly daily from his personal compound.
Cartels are very very bad people and very very powerful people in some parts of the world.
Not surprised. I do not trust Mr. Lobo. Especially since he met with Obozo in the White Hut.
I praised Mr. Micheletti when he stood up to Obozo and Der Hilderbeast. Mr. Lobo is not in the same class.
Not on your life. Just stop and think. What is the real role of a ‘national judge’ who alone decides who stands and who falls?
Is Calderone ‘serious’ about controlling drugs? The crop expectancy in Mexico has tripled under calderone.
And drug raids are yet another way to confiscate peoples’ properties. The cartels would fight this with gusto if they were not benefitting in some way.
NEVER trust evil. Never.
No doubt you are correct.
The reporting seemed at odds with other recent actions by Mr. Lobo.
I think the “Señor” is wearing a little thin on Lobo.
