EXCLUSIVE: Vicente Fox Blames U.S. for Drug War; Violence ‘Is Produced Here’
Breitbart ^ | 05/08/2016 | by Alex Swoyer and Joel B. Pollak

SANTA MONICA, California — Former Mexican president Vicente Fox suggested Wednesday that drug trafficking and violence at the border aren’t caused by Mexico, but by drug consumption in the United States.

We don’t have a consumption problem. Then, the question, why the war? Why the killings? It’s because we are in between those that consume the drugs here in the north in United States and those who produce the drugs south, Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia.

“And here is Mexico in this war, why? We have accepted to collaborate with United States in trying to cut the drug trafficking, trying to impede the drug to reach the U.S. market. We’re paying the price,” Fox continuedd, saying the U.S. paid the Mexican government to help patrol the border and stop the drug trafficking.

“I would have never taken those $500 million. The cost of that war is much more than the loss of one life,” he said, adding that a “compassionate leader” would look for solutions.

Calling himself an “activist” for legalizing marijuana, Fox said, “This market generates $55 billion U.S. dollars … and where do they go? That money is laundered and that money goes to the cartels — and I ask this nation, who does the laundering?”

He added: “One day, I think it’s going to happen very soon, a Mexican president will come and tell United States, ‘You don’t want drug in your territory, you hold it.’”

He then turned his attention to criticizing presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for his statements about crime on the border.

“So all this talking about homicides [and] violence in Mexico, the one that Trump criticizes, is produced here,” Fox challenged. “Lets get rid of that language of hate that this campaign has brought about, that’s not United States..."

The reemergence Vicente Fox and his profane comments about Trump prompt me to resurrect my "blast from the past" (FROM 2001) concerning the Bush clan's participation in the destruction of America's sovereignty! That Bush "participation" almost certainly explains why we REJECTED JEBBY!

It took obozo's addition of the muzzies to the mix to assemble -– FINALLY – a critical mass of our fellow citizens to begin what I PRAY is a movement to put a halt to our GLOBALIST OLIGARCH PLANNED national/cultural suicide!

 photo TREASON IN SIERRA MADRE_zpsjzj9y4sb.jpg In ABSTRACT terms, this is the conspiratorial view of what’s going on vis-à-vis the INVASION of the illegals here:

The current alien invasion from the south serves BOTH the elites who run Mexico – and many of the OTHER states of Central and South America -- and the political ruling class who increasingly run the United States:

· It takes pressure off the 60 or so families who control approximately 80% of the wealth in Mexico. Without the northern “safety valve” (the United States) for their poor, those poor MIGHT be inclined to do what America’s early colonists found it necessary to do: Revolt! Parenthetically, that would be MY suggestion for them: Instead of fleeing here – and converting “here” to a larger, more poverty infested version of “there,” they ought to stay there and make “there” into their version of “here,” whatever that would be. Revolutions ARE messy and there are no guarantees thatTREACHERY they will produce the desired result. But – according to one T. Jefferson – they are often necessary. Never forget that THIS country was born in revolution!

· For the NAFTA/CAFTA coveting US national ruling class – especially those who, in varying degrees, quest after some sort of One-World utopia run by guess who? – it provides yet another level of insecurity and tension among the indigenous populace which can be used to justify new and more draconian limits to freedom here. Instead of securing the borders, allow millions of illegals to come in and when the natives become alarmed, require a national ID card. “Your papers, please!” will soon become a phrase familiar to all. It’s Mr. Franklin’s trade of freedom for (false) security. It’s also the time-tested Hegelian Dialectic the One-Worlders have successfully worked like a rented mule.

While they occasionally squabble among themselves, the elites of history have ALL had one thing in common: They will do ANYTHING to remain in charge. And throughout that history, except for the 230 year-old experiment in freedom called “America,” most of the men who have walked the earth have lived as slaves to these elites whether they call themselves kings, emperors, potentates, sultans, czars – or presidents.

Get ready, folks. Unless some SERIOUS changes are made and the handful of Americans who CARE about liberty get involved, that history will almost certainly repeat here.

Now for the SPECIFICS of the matter:

My take on Bush's role in all of this is:

1. His long and apparently positive experience with the large hispanic population in Texas is largely responsible for his inaction on this alien invasion. And why wouldn't HIS experience with them be positive as he traveled in the highest, best-educated circles among them, not the Hispanic gangbangers and pine-straw spreaders...

2. His brother Jeb is married to a native of Mexico and his nieces and nephews are mixed blood. And before you scream "ethnocentric bigot" at me, there's nothing inherently wrong with that. But that fact -- and the first item -- DOES predispose him to a warm and fuzzy feeling for folks from south of the Rio Grande.

And if -- in some strange and metastasizing American desire for a new royal family dynasty -- Jeb should win the White House, I'd bet that HIS activities toward this alien invasion will make W's behavior look like a warm-up exercise.

Any vestige of white European culture in America will be a distant memory.

So build a wall and problem solved, correct? A wall would slow up the flow of drugs.

(Run-on sentence warning)
Like the Japanese ambassador criticizing Trump—Japan has a `no immigration’ policy—here we have a `Castilian’ (like Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim), both standing behind an official Mexican govt. policy: documented by pamphlets printed by the Mexican govt. showing their colonists how to sneak across the border, then how to claim welfare benefits and even how to contact a Mexican consulate if charged with, say, vehicular homicide or whatever: Fox & Co., with the support of America’s Uniparty, exporting as many unwanted `Indios’ to us to care for as the market can bear, so they can send money home, while making sure Hondurans, El Salvadorans and Guatemalans riding on the top of El Bestia (the beast) train north pay bribes all along the way, stay on the train (!) and follow the lead of their fellow Mexican criminal invaders ... but Trump and Americans, they say, are lazy, xenophobic, bigoted racists.

Well no wonder Mexico was so vulnerable with all the little corrupt kingpins.

Mexico is probably by far the largest provider of marijuana.
Most of those growing crops grow pot.

Flood the US with tens of millions of existing and future drug addicts, then lay all the blame on us. This is rich.

he’s right because we have such a shallow, petty, wimpy, pleasure seeking populace in the USA, where drugs are “victimless” they tell us, and porn is considered mainstream, WE Americans are to blame for the drug wars thru our stinking drug use..

Have you seen the TV series Shameless? If you have, did you know it is based on a British series of the same name? I didn’t know that. I wanted to see the original and finally found a source for it. As with other adaptions from UK originals, the US Shameless reflects American PC and prudishness, which is a shock considering how un-prudish our version appears.

All this is a round about way of reprising what the UK Shameless Frank Gallagher said about drugs.

“Help eliminate poverty by making drugs free.”

Aint it funny? Back when you could buy whatever medicine ya wanted at the pharmacy without a permission slip from a federally licensed prescriber, there were no gangs or drug wars.

NASCAR is the only good thing that came from prohibition. The rest is Capones Kennedies, and now Sinolas.

So sorry, Señor, but you are WRONG.

I used to believe thst drugs were a demand makes the supply problem too. It makes logical sense. Then I read about what Poppy Bush and Hebbie and Clinton etc were doing to fund various projects, and I almost passed out. MAXINE WATERS WAS CORRECT. Fast acting new drugs were being literally PUSHED into the hands of small gangs who thus had prime motivation to sell, yes, to PUSH, drugs into the hands of young people who don’t have much discernment and want to have fun.

It really did happen with crack. Just because someone is a crazy dem doesn’t mean they are always right nor are people clinging to the republican banner always right. On both sides of the aisle there was motivation to literally PUSH a supply into our poorer and younger (college) communities.

Don’t kid yourself; they are doing it again with heroin right now.

Nothing changes unless the population of the US is stabilized, and that includes removing everyone who is not a US citizen who is not a productive, functioning person who has a positive influence on the US. Then the population needs to get back to work. Neighborhoods and communities have to be safe and provide services, shopping, education, entertainment, and some percentage of jobs for nearby residents. The pharmaceutical and medical cabals have to be brought back in control and they have to be stopped from poisoning people with cures that turn them into addicts and/or dependent on medical solutions for everything. Entertainment has to clean up....much less violence and lauding perverted lifestyles.

That's a whole lot of change. We could start by saying that Vincente Fox is correct. Mexicans and their drugs should not be allowed in the US and we should build that wall. To save Mexico from US citizens, of course.

Dear Mexican Idiot,

The wall will help stop the flow of drugs through your country.
