There is a reason Fast and Furious investigation went nowhere
Btw, all you really needed to do is see the plane used by the CIA in renditions after it crashed with Sinaloa cocaine to know what has been going on....

The DEA agents met with members of the cartel in Mexico to obtain information about their rivals and simultaneously built a network of informants who sign drug cooperation agreements, subject to results, to enable them to obtain future benefits, including cancellation of charges in the U.S.," reports El Universal
Operation Fast and Furious was part of an agreement to finance and arm the cartel in exchange for information used to take down its rivals. (If true, that re-raises the issue regarding what Attorney General Eric Holder knew about the gun-running arrangements.)

No bleep. Get rid of their profits and legalize the damn things for adults who want to be idiots.
And do you suppose that any of those billions, with a "b", might have found their way into the pockets of American politicians and federal law enforcement officers?
Just asking...???
Mexican Official Accuses CIA Of ‘Managing’ Not ‘Fighting’ The Drug Trade
Michael Kelly
July 24, 2012
A Mexican state government spokesman told Al Jazeera that the CIA and other international security forces “don’t fight drug traffickers” as much as “try to manage the drug trade,” Chris Arsenault reports.
“It’s like pest control companies, they only control,” Chihuahua spokesman Guillermo Terrazas Villanueva told Al Jazeera. “If you finish off the pests, you are out of a job. If they finish the drug business, they finish their jobs.”
Chihuahua, one of Mexico’s most violent states, borders on Texas.
Arsenault quickly notes that Villanueva is not a high ranking official and that the mayor of Juarez, Chihuahua, dismissed the accusations as “baloney.”
Nevertheless, a government official going on the record with such claims is rare.
And a mid-level official with the Secretariat Gobernacion in Juarez (i.e. Mexico’s equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security) told Al Jazeera the allegations were true based on discussions he’s had with U.S. officials working in Juarez.
Arsenault highlights that the defense attorneys for Jesús Zambada Niebla – a leading trafficker from the Sinaloa cartel currently awaiting trial in Chicago – stated, as part of his defense, that “United States government agents aided the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.”
Other high-level members of the Sinaloa cartel – Mexico’s oldest trafficking organization – have made similar claims that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, the Sinaloa cartel leader and one of the world’s most wanted men, works closely with U.S. authorities.
Upwards of 55,000 people have died from drug-related violence in Mexico since 2006.
So, the Clinton administration evidently pocketed the first check. And Billy Jeff got the first shipment of quality coke...
Wow. This closes the loop on all kinds of old stories from the nineties. All of them with Billy Jeff's fingerprints on them.
On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.
What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?
Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?
Not to mention that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.
Let's not leave out the DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.
It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.
DHS Complicit In Drug Cartel Human Trafficking
0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.
If the DEA is not making arrests...
....you can bet Politico’s are paid off
This secret agreement killed that US Customs officer of ours down in Mexico:
How it works in Mexico is if cartels learn you have some business relationship with, lessay, the Sinaloa Cartel, then “this guy belongs to the Sinaloa...”
They’ll think that even if there’s no elaborate induction ceremony that they witness.
When non-Sinaloa cartels heard of GayMuzzie’s “no busts for intel on the other cartels”-arrangement, that meant US LEO’s seen down in Mexico were considered as, “WITH the Sinaloa Cartel”. As such, these non-Sinaloa cartelistas saw US officers as legitimate targets.
Let’s just say the Mexican mind (and especially the cartelista mind) is muuuch further down the conceptual road for understanding that the cop/criminal separation distance can be slight, ok...?
That is their daily bread and butter.
THAT is why they gunned down that guy from US Customs —he probably did not know about Barry’s secret BS and was probably still thinking his badge protected him.
Sorry, but, uh...Barry and the NightStalker basically killed him.
Cartelistas considered him as, "with the Sinaloa"...?
Rep. Olson Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Eric Holder
"The Articles of Impeachment has four different sections. The first calls for Holder’s official removal because of his failure to comply with congressional subpoenas relating to Operation Fast and Furious. Holder has been voted on a bipartisan basis into both criminal and civil contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with the Fast and Furious subpoenas from House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA)."
Sinaloa, led by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, supplies 80% of the drugs entering the Chicago area and has a presence in cities across the U.S.There have long been allegations that Guzman, considered to be "the world’s most powerful drug trafficker," coordinates with American authorities.
But the El Universal investigation is the first to publish court documents that include corroborating testimony from a DEA agent and a Justice Department official.
For politicians, drug warriors and drug dealers.
That would be great. Long overdue! 0bama should be impeached for illegally extending Executive Privilege to Holder.
Nope. A feature, not a bug.
Iran-Contra/ Mena, Arkansas all over again.
When they stopped the flights into Mena the dope operation went to the ground.
It was run by corrupt law enforcement, and it was covered up because it led back to Iran-Contra.
In 1985 I had a run in with a Corpus Christ cop and he bragged about being part of it.
I had at least 3 attempts against my life because of that.
As a matter of fact the Clintons killing 80 people at Waco and Reno’s firing of the US Attorneys was part of the cover up.
Vince Foster started spilling his guts about Reno’s firing of the US Attorneys and he ended up dead.
This is bipartisan. Note this from the article =>
An investigation by El Universal has found that between the years 2000 and 2012, the U.S. government had an arrangement with Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel...
The Clinton’s dope running operation almost got me killed back in the late 1980’s.
I’ve said it before, it never stopped.
People just refuse to believe it.
Clinton’s invasion of Haiti stopped the Haitian boat lift which allowed Castro to run dope up from Cuba.
The increased security around Gitmo has made it harder for the dope to come up through Cuba which is why they want to shut down Gitmo.
The senior cartels need napalming more than they need immunity.
This has been going on long before Obama showed up on the scene. At least since the mid 80's when the Bush/Clinton Crime Syndicate were running tons of illegal drugs into Mena.
