FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida -- More than 26 tons of cocaine worth at least $715 million was brought ashore Thursday in Florida following multiple recent seizures by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Royal Canadian Navy in the eastern Pacific.

Coast Guard officers said at a news conference Thursday that the drugs brought to Fort Lauderdale came from 27 separate vessel interdictions and five bale recovery operations off Central and South America over the past three months.

“Florida Kilos” - Lana Del Rey

White lines, pretty baby, tattoos,
Don’t know what they mean,
They’re special, just for you.
White palms, baking powder on the stove,
Cookin’ up a dream,
Turnin’ diamonds into snow.

I feel you, pretty baby, feel me,
Turn it up hot, lovin’ you is free.
I like it down, like it down way low,
But you already know that, you already know.

Come on down to Florida,
I got somethin’ for ya.
We could see the kilos,
On the keys, baby, oh yeah.

Guns in the summertime,
Drink a cherry cola lime.
Prison isn’t nothin’ to me,
If you’ll be by my side.

Yayo, yayo, yayo,
And all the dope FIENDS
Yayo, yayo, yayo.

Sun in my mouth and gold hoops,
You like your little baby,
Like you like your drinks cool.
White lines, pretty daddy gold skin,
You snort it like a champ,
Like the winter we’re not in.

Come on down to Florida,
I got somethin’ for ya.
We could see the kilos,
On the keys, baby, oh yeah.

Guns in the summertime,
Drink a cherry cola lime.
Prison isn’t nothin’ to me,
If you’ll be by my side.

Yayo, yayo, yayo,
And all the dope FIENDS
Yayo, yayo, yayo.

We could get high in Miami,
Ooh, dance the night away.
People never die in Miami,
Ooh, that’s what they all say.

(You believe me, don’t you, baby?)

Come on down to Florida,
I got somethin’ for ya.
We could see the kilos,
On the keys, baby, oh yeah.

Guns in the summertime,
Chica cherry cola lime.
Prison don’t mean nothin’ to me,
If you’ll be by my side.

Yayo, yayo, yayo,
All the Floridians say,
Yayo, yayo, yayo,
All the Colombians say,
Yayo, yayo, yayo,
And all my girlfriends,
Yayo, yayo, yayo,
That’s how I do it like.

Mm, oh, pretty baby,
White lines, pretty baby,
Gold teeth, pretty baby, yeah,
Dance the night away.

So much for “accurate” reporting from the Arsebut Press. Par for the course from these leftist diehards.

Florida and Royal Mounties are I think on the Atlantic Coast...The Pacific I think is the California Coast???

Course, every thing in our matrix is upside down right now, so this might be right....hmmm

Last time I checked, Central and South America are on the Pacific. The drugs were seized there then taken to Fort Lauderdale.

That is how it is worded (international waters off the Eastern Pacific Ocean) in the press release issued by the Coast Guard. The press conference was held in Fort Lauderdale.
