A lot of ya'll are kidding around and are tongue in cheek with your statements, I'm being dead *** man.


It's these God damn police unions, big pharma, and the feds who have the most blood on their hands.


It's they who decided to keep this war on drugs waging. It's them who make drugs so profitable. It's them who NEED these drugs to be illegal so they can continue getting their money.



Biggest reason I don't respect the police, they themselves lobby for unjust laws to stay in place. They want to continue to arrest non-violent offenders. Are there violent drug dealers? Yes, but that violent element is brought on be the illegal nature of the business they're in.


Legalize it ALL, treat addicts, and stop making drug culture a multi-billion dollar business. That'll eliminate overcrowding in prisons, eliminate the need for a police state, and it'll bring on true rehabilitation instead of the pigeonholing of drug-users as "criminals".


All our system is right now is a ******* pyramid scheme that benefits judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, cops, correctional officers, "counselors", big pharma and the fed gov. Our nation's streets aren't ANY safer, nor are those with substance abuse issues getting any true rehabilitation.


The arrest of "el chapo" is just a ******** PR move to make sheep think the war on drugs is working. Dude is a businessman in a bloody business, but he isn't even the one with the most blood on his hands.


Did prohibition teach us nothing?

[h1]CONFIRMED: The DEA Struck A Deal With Mexico's Most Notorious Drug Cartel[/h1][h5]Michael Kelley, provided by

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 that allowed the organization to smuggle billions of dollars of drugs in exchange for information on rival cartels. 

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.

The written statements were made to the U.S. District Court in Chicago in relation to the arrest of Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, the son of Sinaloa leader  Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and allegedly the  Sinaloa cartel’s "logistics coordinator."

Here's what  DEA agent Manuel Castanon told the Chicago court:

"On March 17, 2009, I met for approximately 30 minutes in a hotel room in Mexico City with Vincente Zambada-Niebla and two other individuals — DEA agent David Herrod and a cooperating source [Sinaloa lawyer Loya Castro] with whom I had worked since 2005. ...I did all of the talking on behalf of [the] DEA."

A few hours later, Mexican Marines arrested Zambada-Niebla (a.k.a. "El Vicentillo") on charges of  trafficking more than a billion dollars in cocaine and heroin. Castanon and three other agents then visited Zambada-Niebla in prison, where the Sinaloa officer "reiterated his desire to cooperate."

El Universal, citing court documents, reports that DEA agents met with high-level Sinaloa officials more than 50 times since 2000.

Then-Justice Department prosecutor Patrick Hearn told the Chicago court  that, according to DEA special agent Steve Fraga, Castro "provided information leading to a 23-ton cocaine seizure, other seizures related to "various drug trafficking organizations," and that"El Mayo" Zambada wanted his son to cooperate with the U.S.

"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, which also interviewed more than one hundred active and retired police officers as well as prisoners and experts.

Zambada-Niebla's lawyer told the court that in the late 1990s, Castro struck a deal with U.S. agents in which Sinaloa would provide information about rival drug trafficking organizations while the U.S. would dismiss its case against the Sinaloa lawyer  and refrain from interfering with Sinaloa drug trafficking activities or actively prosecuting Sinaloa leadership.

"The agents stated that this arrangement had been approved by high-ranking officials and federal prosecutors," Zambada-Niebla  lawyer wrote.

After being extradited to Chicago in February 2010, Zambada-Niebla argued  that he was also  "immune from arrest or prosecution" because he actively provided information to U.S. federal agents.

Zambada-Niebla also alleged  that 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.)

A Mexican foreign service officer told Stratfor  in April 2010 that the U.S. seemed to have sided with the Sinaloa cartel in an attempt to limit the violence in Mexico.

El Universal said that the coordination between the U.S. and Sinaloa peaked between 2006 and 2012, which is when drug cartels consolidated their grip  on Mexico. The report ends by saying that it is unclear whether the arrangements continue.

The DEA declined to comment to El Universal.
