The drug cartel in the Mexican state of Guerrero demanded from Coca-Cola one million dollars to keep their distribution center in the region. Coca-Cola refused to pay the money. The cartel retaliated and began to burn down Coca-Cola trucks. The violence got so severe that Coca-Cola removed its distribution center. This story signifies just how powerful the narco state of Mexico is becoming, even to the point of driving out major American industries. To learn more about this story, and the political significance behind it, I spoke with Jorge Vazquez Valencia, the spokesperson for the Autodefensas, a self-defense group that has been fighting the cartel with arms and valor:

After this I wonder how many American or even other foreign companies in Mexico will just shutdown and leave.

When arguing with those that want to take your 2nd amendment rights ask this question:

Does the normal operation of society work better when the citizens fear the criminals or the criminals fear the citizens?

When I hear the argument that legalizing drugs would get rid of drug gangs, I wonder what they think the thugs are going to do? Get regular jobs? Of course not. They're going to come up with new crimes like extortion, protection rackets, kidnapping, and so on. They're criminals, crime is what they do.

There are major corporations here in Indiana that are relocating to Mexico as we speak. Good luck with that. Hope they want to pay the price of doing business in Mexico.

It’s usually the the Mexican government doing the shake down. The cartels could close the doors.

They may realize that the difference in pay and taxes would not offset the price of doing business in Mexico. But it’d be too late once they move.

Seal the damn border. Build that wall. Start bombing the shit out of Mexico, anywhere and everywhere there is a narco-controlled area.

And guess who gets to bail out these companies when they ultimately fail?

Hint: Got a mirror?

Trump might not want to fight the cartels if they helped him bring American factories back. Moral hazard?

I'd love to see a US Administration that covertly recruited and equipped a bunch of former US pilots with COIN aircraft, G2, and weaponry. Who then picked one of these Cartel mansions and hacienda HQs, and then Carpet Bombed, then Napalmed it, and foinally Daisy Cutter'd the ruins into oblivion.

Afterwards, an anonymous message to the cartels could read.

"Leave US citizens and corporations alone, or be burned to the ground like your friends."

The crime cartels have taken over the Mexican government. They are one & the same. American companies moving to Mexico for cheap labor are in for a big shock. Protection payments will erase the labor price advantage.

And the criminals will move onto harder and harder drugs. So are we supposed to keep legalizing more and more to “stop” them again?

Do people think these laws weren’t created by human beings for a reason in the first place? They maybe saw the human and economic toll of addiction?

They don’t care. They will just pass the shakedown money onto the consumer in the price of their products.

One million dollars? Not for nothing, but one million dollars is not a lot of money today.

Ok.....
