As recently as 2019, the price of a gram of cocaine in the United States of America hovered between $150 and $200 a gram at retail price.

This past month, the price of a gram of cocaine was $50 per gram.

Drug cartels have banded together to modernize drug distribution networks.

The two biggest gangs in Mexico have put aside their historic bloodthirsty differences with each other and are making record profits, despite Orange Hitler's new "war on drugs".

How did they do it?

The biggest Fentanyl Mexican gang, the Sinolans, had their aging leadership captured in the US shortly after Trump took office. The new generations saw the incredible heat at the US border and did the unthinkable: they formed an alliance with Mexico's largest cocaine gang, the Jaliscos.

The Jaliscos had something the Sinolans craved: a massive network of tunnels beneath the United States border. The Sinolans leased 33 percent of the tunnel capacity and promised to only sell Fentanyl west of the Mississippi river. Territories, y'know?

Here's where it gets REALLY interesting. Jalisco was flush with cash now so they dropped the retail price of cocaine east of the Mississippi, and used all their profits to invest in four pipelines in each of their many tunnels...gasoline imported INTO the United States, gasoline exported FROM the United States. plus crude oil into and out of the United States. ALL of it not subject to Donald Trump's stupid tariffs, making the small refiners in the US suddenly competitive against the monolithic refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Misssissippi! They sell it as "domestic consumption only" and therefore no tariffs!

Oh and OSHA no longer inspects refineries in the Trump administration, so they don't see these new pipeline coming out of the ground.

Investigators cannot "follow the money trail" because their IS no "money trail", it's a straight barter system so long as the Trump tarriffs are in place.

Just say no, Rob. :)
 
The cartels must have a mole in the Trump justice department telling him to, "Don't worry about the Mexicans, just blow up some fishing boats in the Caribbean, that'll show 'em!"

What did Obama or Biden do about it. At least Obama gave them a bunch of guns. :)

Saint_Ann Syndrome rears its ugly battered head…again…

😑

Newsflash:

GEORGE W. BUSH STARTED a program like “operation fast and furious” under a different name “Operation Wide Receiver” (a gun tracing operation was a good idea, but like everything else Shrub’s administration did, they planned poorly for the long term). And President Obama ACTUALLY did address the fuck ups of both operations (that were both run out of the ATF Field Division in Phoenix) once they were brought to his and Eric Holder’s attention.

😳 😑 🤬

Hope that ^ helps.
