Hey sugar...welcome to Free Republic.

Lemme educate you about something...I’m 46 and grew up here. My dad worked for a family friend hauling fuel in a tanker by day...and running hustles on the weekend to make extra cash from the same guy . Hauling cash...stolen guns...gambling...bootleg alcohol and cigs...whatever Sleepy needed done. Hey...we’re Scot/Irish dammit. That was the 70’s. There was no illegal alien issue yet. Smuggling rings were run from the top down by locals.

Went in the USn in the mid 80’s. End of my enlistment...coulda went to Central America and made some easy tax sheltered bank working for a contractor...owned by the CIA. Only thing was...if things went liquid...bad guys went round quickly “putting out the fire”...one .22 at a time. I turned them down.

Mena happened. CIA front company owned plane full of coke crashed in the boonies...and a reporter got the word out before “The Firemen” could stop it. Bill Clinton was governor and Bush was President...and former CIA.

Then..suddenly...the border opened.The Cartels along with the DEA knocked out and replaced the locals with what is now the smoothest logistical feat ever run in history...for black market products.

Ain’t no county hick councilman got the juice to smuggle heroin from the sandbox.The world drug business is run by the CIA...the Russian mob...and the cartels....which in turn has been used to build the huge ass police state about to be turned on the very conservatives that cheered the War on Drugs from the get go. Hope they enjoy their cake.

Have a nice day sugar.
