General Milley Drops Hammer On Mexican Cartels:
Daily wire ^

Posted on 04/01/2020 5:39:36 PM PDT by MNDude

Today the United States is launching enhanced counter narcotics operations in the western hemisphere to protect the American people from the deadly scourge of illegal narcotics,” Trump said. “We are deploying additional Navy destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, Coast Guard cutters and Air Force surveillance aircraft, doubling the capabilities in the region.”

After Trump’s remarks, Milley said, “There’s thousands of sailors, coast guardsmen, soldiers, airman, Marines, involved in this operation. We came across some intelligence some time ago that the drug cartels as a result of covid-19 were going to try to take advantage of the situation and try to infiltrate additional drugs into our country.”

“We are at war with terrorists and we are at war with the drug cartels as well,” Milley continued. “This is the United States Military. You will not penetrate this country. You will not get past jump street. You’re not going to come in here and kill additional Americans. And we will marshal whatever assets are required to prevent your entry into this country to kill Americans.”

Cartels existed long before we sent our young men into caves in Afghanistan. We knew, to a greater degree, where these cartel asshats were. Yet we basically ignored them until now.

Must be a new initiative to interrupt DNC financing.

I would not be upset if some cruise missiles took a cruise into cartel compounds.

Awesome. Anyone going to address the banks that launder the cartel cash? That’s when I’ll know they are really serious.

Sicario. Yes. We aren’t going to be detaining them, putting more pressure on our existing medical systems. Plenty of sharks in the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of mehico.

As long as it leaves no successor organization or organizers, am good with it. Zero leadership, zero money, zero capital equipment. Pancho Villa time.

Black Jack Pershing.... Lives. His name is Milley.

Yes— it includes the Golden Triangle. Vietnam hates the chi-coms and their pals who are running tar into their little police state. Historical enemies. And neither do the Thais, not after 50K sex tourist Wuhan carriers were let loose in Bangkok.

Yes, I’ve heard about a few miles here and there, but that’s all. Are there more?

Have noticed that only certain banks are offering deferral payments on credit lines, credit cards and mortgage loans. Not, for example JPMorgan Chase (only on mortgage loans so far). So it appears it is only the select FDIC member banks who are getting Treasury money from the US Treasury— not the Fed Reserve (firewall developing, Fed has to loan the US money, and take the loss if we don’t pay back).

Maybe this is the start of getting our currency back in Constitutional control (breaking the Charter obamaumao signed in December 2013 renewing another 100 year Charter with the private bank of last resort started in 1913.

We can hope.

Sounds real good to me. The more we destroy, the better. We need to go after the growing fields, too.

Well, POTUS recently made a comment about Maduro being part of a drug cartel. (Misdirection? Or strike in multiple countries?)

Beaubo knows more about what’s going on with the wall construction than anyone else on FR. Icheck his comments and articles he posts regularly.

147 miles completed, 203 miles under construction, 403 miles under pre-construction

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3830016/posts?page=1#1

Five more miles last week. No slowdown.
Next week we will break past 150 miles completed. We only just cracked 100 in January. This year is going to see some real wall building, and some real effects from it. The President mentioned as an aside recently, that the effects they are seeing from the barrier completed so far, are even better than was expected.

Read that again, slowly.
