The Geopolitics of Dope January 29, 2008 | 2103 GMT

By George Friedman

Over recent months, the level of violence along the U.S.-Mexican border has begun to rise substantially, with some of it spilling into the United States. Last week, the Mexican government began military operations on its side of the border against Mexican gangs engaged in smuggling drugs into the United States. The action apparently pushed some of the gang members north into the United States in a bid for sanctuary. Low-level violence is endemic to the border region. But while not without precedent, movement of organized, armed cadres into the United States on this scale goes beyond what has become accepted practice. The dynamics in the borderland are shifting and must be understood in a broader, geopolitical context. . . .

The United States has been willing to tolerate levels of criminality along the border. The only time when the United States shifted its position was when organized groups in Mexico both established themselves north of the political border and engaged in significant violence. Thus, in 1916, when the Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa began operations north of the border, the U.S. Army moved into Mexico to try to destroy his base of operations. This has been the line that, when crossed, motivated the United States to take action, regardless of the economic cost. The current upsurge in violence is now pushing that line.

Long article, but worth reading in its entirety. Is it time for the military to secure our borders?

[steve8714]

1986 was the time for the military to secure our borders, north and south, and our ports and airports also.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

Never happen. The Council has decided to end us.

Look at the choices for Puppet in Chief. They are all lackeys of the Council.

[ladyjane]

What are the legal implications of using our military to secure the Mexican border? Anyone?

[buffyt]

And they used to.... our friend was USAF and his job was flying along the border to STOP ILLEGAL DRUGS. He retired about 1993 and I wonder what happened to that idea? They used to STOP the drugs. Now our agents go to prison for trying to STOP the drugs. Thankful Joe didn’t go to prison for doing his job.

[Oldexpat]

We do have the right of hot pursuit of criminals into Mexico. At least that was our justification before.
We could practice with the marines in Berkley..kind of a brief warm up..then head south for TJ and a few other Border cities. The Army could have the Arizona, NM and TX border..they have their forts over there.

[ladyjane]

I don’t understand why we are not using our National Guard or Reserve Units. Are there legal reasons?

[Quix]

There are far too many diverse sources claiming that special ops etc. branches of the military have been directly involved in . . . transporting . . . riding shot-gun etc.

for my comfort.

I’m skeptical that a bunch of globalists hell bent on erasing the boarder and on using such illegal monies from such illegal products to further the technologies supporting their globalist aims . . .

I’m more than exceedingly skeptical that they will ever support cracking down until every last serf is totally enslaved.

[ladyjane]

I’m not sure what you are saying. Special ops, branches of the military transporting and riding shot-gun? Whose military? Ours or theirs? Trying to stop drugs? Providing support for the drug runners?

[Wolfie]

I don’t imagine there are too many in positions of power that want to see that big of a chunk of world trade, not to mention unaccountable cash, disappear.

= = =

Exactly, Wolfie.

Some of the allegations get . . . quite . . . something else.

However, over the last 20-30 years, I’ve read soooo many reports by folks who were more than a little convincing . . . I’m no longer in doubt about it.

Then, there’s the big chunk of such sources . . . saying that the research and development of . . .

exotic . . .

technoloies . . . . flying craft, tunneling, dimensional doorways . . . etc. bunker building . . . off planet bases . . . plague designing, death camp building etc.

are SOOOOOOOOOO expensive that the globalists have turned to the drugs as a major source of funding for such dreadful enslaving focused enterprises.

One can, of course, scream “tin foil.”

One can also dig a bit deeper than CNN and find all kinds of info hidden in plain sight.

One site I’ve found recently to be interesting . . . in such matters . . . is

HTTP://WWW.ENDGAMETHEMOVIE.COM

But the movie seems easier to reach and watch via the ATS link:

The ENDGAME MOVIE is available for watching at ATS:

http://video.abovetopsecret.com/bcvideo/48

in streaming video

It opens with the HG WELLS QUOTE:

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL HATE THE NEW WORLD ORDER, AND DIE PROTESTING IT. —HG WELLS 1939

[Polonius]

Another powerful argument for border control. It’s not just immigration, it’s the chaos and crime spilling over the border.

[Quix]

Then there are the reports of specific military and other officials tasked with and observed

procuring coke or some such

for Dilldo Klintoon.

Guess he figured he had a big nose, may as well use it.

[ladyjane]

Not to mention terrorists.

[ladyjane]

I thought Clinton was getting his drugs through Mena.

[investigateworld]

During the Eighties, the time frame described by Terry Reed in his book, "Compromised, Bush - Clinton and the CIA", if you were in the "Club', so to speak, it was very rewarding to be in law enforcement.

We had sergeants in the Narcotics Division buying million dollar homes in California (million bucks used to be a lot of back then).

A lot of us knew about "Mena", but talking to the various Feds? ...

That's part of the problem Hillary has with the hard left. They know some of the proceeds were used to guide the collapse of the USSR.

Funny no one brings in up in her current campaign ;^)

[Quix]

I forget who one of his closer advisors was . . . I’ts probably available at ATS . . .

somehow ended up observing another adivisor take delivery for handing to Dilldo.

He threw a fit, I think, at Dilldo. And made very clear he never wanted anything to do with such ever again. He was chided for not being looser or some such.

Anyway—that advisor/assistant also observed the US military personnel involved in the transaction.

[Quix]

INDEED.

Rooms full of feloneous actions are not brought up . . . especially in the glogalist controlled MSM.

What a surprise.

. . .

. . .

NOT!

[Quix]

And who all was Mena in cahoots with!

[buffyt]

Clearly the people at the TOP In Washington DC WANT the drugs into the USA. They USED to stop them. And there are illegals growing pot in our national parks and threatening our rangers and hikers and fishermen.
