Don’t expect Mexico’s new girlboss to take on the cartels: In all likelihood, the US’s relationship with the failing narco-state across our southern border will only get worse
The Spectator ^ | 06/03/2024 | Ben Domenech

The international media has a new Mexican girlboss to fawn over. Claudia Sheinbaum is Mexico’s new presidenta, leading a landslide for AMLO’s populist leftist Morena Party now empowered to alter Mexico’s Constitution according to his wishes. Should Donald Trump return to the White House, I can only imagine the “yas kween” memes that will emerge from their confrontations over the remain in Mexico policy. And did you know she’s a socialist and a climate scientist, too? Coming soon to a TIMEime magazine cover, a Vogue fashion profile and a children’s board book near you.

Of course, those articles to come will spend more time on the glass ceiling than on all those pesky murders and missing people. AMLO will depart having presided over the bloodiest presidency in Mexican history, with over 185,000 homicides and over 110,000 missing people. (He has decried those desperate family members who search for missing people and mass graves as suffering from a “delirium of necrophilia.”) His “hugs not bullets” approach to the cartels resulted in more of both — more bullets in heads, and more families embracing in sorrow after.

That extended all the way through election day, with two people shot and killed at polling places. Despite AMLO’s assurances that this election would see candidates protected, thirty-eight were killed, many in broad daylight, again the most assassinations on record. The video of the shooting of opposition mayoral candidate Alfredo Cabrera as he shakes hands in the midst of a crowd in Guerrero shows the impunity with which these cartel killers work (warning, graphic).

None of this is surprising, considering that we know AMLO and his regime to be a wholly owned partner of the cartels, relying on them for campaign cash and favors in return for emphatic defense of their barbaric behavior. There’s no mystery to this behavior, and AMLO has been anything but subtle about it — even to the point of siding with the criminals against the DEA, which he accused of “spying” on the Sinaloa cartel after a slew of arrests of fentanyl smugglers, including El Chapo’s sons. And lest we forget his threat from a year ago:

There is talk in the United States, of intervening and confronting organized crime, drug traffickers, treating them as terrorists and that for this reason they will come to “help” us, to “support” us to confront organized crime… we do not accept any intervention… if they did, it will not be only the sailors and soldiers who will defend Mexico, all Mexicans will defend Mexico.

As AMLO’s apprentice, there should be no expectations that Sheinbaum will approach any of these matters differently. And that means in all likelihood that the United States’ relationship with the failing narco-state across our southern border will only get worse.

The Cartels own Amlo, and they own her.

They also own Obama and Biden.

Perhaps we can pay the Chinese and Islamists sneaking into our country to go to war with the cartels in exchange for cash and women.

Wait until it becomes profitable and advantageous for Mexico and/or its cartels to put Chinese military bases on the Southern US border

The U.S. gov. has at least some responsibility for Mexico being a failed narco-state as I posted some years ago ...

-------------------------------------------

Let's call Fast and Furious what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.

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.

CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Cartel

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.

After she brings in more socialism, environmental extremism, and dictatorship by medicine, the cartels might be the lesser evil.

If she does not assume room temperature in the next 30 days or so, we can assume she is working for the cartels. Plata o plomo. (silver or lead)

There isn’t a single “election” in Mexico that isn’t rigged.

You can bet that lots of NYC money was sent to Mexico City in large cartons to pay the Mordida to all the Cartelista murderers. You don’t think that a woman from an ethno-religious group that represents 0.04% of the Mexican population would ever have any real chance, do you?

Evidently a lot of her opponents up and died. The cartels are basically killing anyone ho might be a decent politician, LEO etc but it’s been that way forever. I don’t think we’re too far off from that either.
