The Connect- with Johnny Mitchell - Could A U.S. Intervention In Mexico Become America’s Next Vietnam?

Episode Date: September 2, 2026

Could a U.S. military intervention in Mexico actually happen—and what would it look like if it did? Ed Calderon joins the show and we break down the growing tension between the United States and Mexico, the strategic importance of northern Mexico’s manufacturing base, and why a future conflict could extend far beyond the fight against cartels and fentanyl. The conversation explores the potential consequences of military intervention, including mass migration, border shutdowns, trade disruptions, economic shortages, and the possibility of cartel groups transforming into organized guerrilla forces using drones, IEDs, precision weapons, and other modern battlefield tactics. We also examine why Mexico could become an extremely difficult environment for a prolonged U.S. military campaign, how deeply interconnected Mexican and American communities are, and why recent operations against historically powerful cartel figures may signal a much larger geopolitical shift.

We have a president who at the end of his term is already announcing he's going to go for a third term in the United States. What is one of the only ways you can do that? War Powers Act? We run the risk of radicalization and run the risk of turning some of these criminal organizations into guerrilla forces and having our own FARC on the southern border. And our youth is not like an American youth. Our youth will grab an AK-47 and get in the back of a truck. You encounter a Taliban-type setting. It's going to be a war of attrition. Could the United States military actually go to war with Mexico?

It sounds impossible, but as America retreats from conflicts overseas, the next major battleground will be much closer to home. Ed Calderon is here to explain exactly what a U.S. military intervention in Mexico would look like and what happens if the cartels decide to fight back. Major drug cartels like the CJNG could mobilize into an insurgency and wage guerrilla warfare against the United States like the Taliban or the Viet Cong. And as always, before we get started, please make sure you're subscribed to the channel so you never miss an episode. Ladies and gentlemen, we could be in for some crazy decades ahead and nobody breaks it down quite like my buddy Ed.

It's the one and only Ed Calderon right here on The Connect with Johnny Mitchell. It's like the FARC out in the, you know, the eastern side of Columbia. It's so dense. Yeah. The, the, the, the, they have like, fucking, they put landmines on the approaches. They got drones. They got good snipers, not like these guys are shooting randomly. So they got like legit fucking, uh, accurate fire.

So no, they're not getting, um, that, that, that's why Menchos net was never able to, to, to take over. Like, that's why Halisco couldn't, has never been able to take over mutual con because it's too, Yeah, it's, it's one, it has the most, Micho Khan has a, has a tendency for like Michoacanos, Massatecos. People from that, from that region are, you know, good fighters. And they have a lot of kids and they have giant family nucleus and they're very loyal. And nobody from the outside is ever going to come in there and tell them like, hey, can we, you know, figure something to get our, to get this, these criminals out. out of there. You mean our family members? No. Right, right, right.

Who are you? Aren't you guys? Aren't you guys blowing people up with blow torches? Sorry, what? Criminals. No, it's like, it's like Ukraine, Russia, and that part of Mexico. Like, it's, the videos you post, I'm just like, when is this going to end? Yeah, it's, uh, Micho Khan is kind of like one of those, it's Mitchelkan. it's parts of Durango. There are certain parts of Mexico

in the Sierra, the Golden Triangle area, where the people that own it, the cartel members, the families around them, the businesses that they've helped foster for years, the churches that they helped built, the schools that they've made,

the people that are from there, but live in the U.S. now, that had some sort of immigration process paid for by some of these organizations. People within politics in the United States who have political careers now that can trace a family lineage back to this place. Sure.

This is all the power they have. And all of a sudden, you're going to get some special operations guys from Mexico coming in there trying to gain control over the area. The only thing they manage to do was take out some of the infrastructure as far as their vehicles, maybe some of the armed groups rolling around out there. But by the end of the day, they're replaced. and people are back, and they're not letting the government in in any way, shape, or form. It's a war of attrition.

They'll go in there, and they'll take a, I think in Durango, they found all these luxury cars and this big giant warehouse belonging to some of these criminal organizations. And it was like a parade, like a vehicle parade. But that doesn't do anything realistically. It's just, oh, they took all the boss's cool cars. Right. But they're still there. What strategic interest does Cartel Halisko and Weberha Rahsaio-Kahn, though?

Like, Micho Khan, there's no real ports to bring in chemicals or stolen fuel, fentanyl precursors from China. Like, besides the land that they make, you know, the dense forest that they make the superlabs out of, right, to, you know, 500 pounds a meth a day or whatever they do, why do they want a region that's more successful? of them further away from the border, not near any port. You know what I mean? Yeah, it's, it's number one, siege mentality. If you want to hide and defend, that's a pretty good place to hide and defend. That's one of the reasons why that place is, I mean, there's La Familia Michoana is out of there. Los Caboida Templarios came out of that area.

It's been a place with constant, with constant kind of violence for a few decades. the strategic importance of it, one, it's a fallback spot, and it's a place where you can hide from the government and easily defend. It's a Torbora, if you want to kind of equate it to that. So that's one of the reasons why that place is so valuable. Number two, Chipotle, avocado toast. People of the United States loving avocados and shit. That is...

Yes. I love brunch. multi-milk. There's a giant business there of people growing avocados and other other types of products out there.

And all of them get taxed by these criminal organizations. And it is a giant moneymaker for them. And it's very passive. I mean, you get a kid with a cell phone walking into one of the biggest avocado grows in Mexico and just hand him the phone and sell like,

hey, if you don't pay us 50 grand every week, we'll start shooting workers. right right and i know they got it too yeah but i know they got i know gringoes personally like from washington state that that own avocado fields amitua con and they're like yep we pay yeah and it is it is dude it's easy money for them it is very little work it's a it's a it's a revenue stream uh that's a reason why it's uh what's a strategic value as well um and uh yeah they have massive laboratories out there in the hillsides. They have places where

they're utilizing as training camps as well. Michi Khan is one of those places where a lot of these training camps and schools kind of are still active. And again, the value of it is it's it's in a geographical space where it's

easy to defend, it's easy to hide in. The populace, the local populace has the culture of protection already within it. And every time somebody pops up that wants to fight against them, EA that mayor that got shot last year, you know, they get, you know, martyred and they forget. And here we go again.

The last time the people that really did try to do something about it was when we had this whole phenomenon of these auto defences, these guys wearing white t-shirts. And it turned out that all of them were basically one big-ass cartel. Right. Or they got flipped quickly after they took out the bad cartel. They became the state police. And then they said, wait a minute, there's way more money in meth trafficking than defending the people.

I knew people from down there when that was going on. I was still active. And they were saying that they were basically seeing the cartel members just like put a mask on and a t-shirt on and just like, oh, yeah, we're pushing out these cartels from this area. But because it's because you want to take it over. Okay, so it wasn't even like it wasn't a homegrown. Some of it was and there was some of that going on. But dude, you're a cartel member. You know how to shoot guns and shit like that.

And all of a sudden your community starts doing an uprising against whatever. Yeah. So there was a bunch of exudicial killings, abductions. People would go into these out of the defense groups and just fucking give. gain some vengeance over the rival cartel guys that they used to fight against now through the guys of now there are the out of defenses. Of course. And a lot of these leaders of these out-the-defense groups ended up in prison and or worse, you know. And that's why you don't hear a lot about them now.

There are a few groups out there in some of the indigenous communities in places like Guerrero and stuff like that who are doing uprisons as well. but it's mostly just community policing and it just kick out the government out of the town because they don't trust them anymore. And now that the cops are gone, now we can go get this money. Yeah, well, I mean, yeah, that's one. And also, oh, the cops are gone

and all this cartel shit to stop happening. Yeah, because the fucking cops were the cartels. That's another issue that people just don't realize. Why are they kicking out all these cops from these area? Oh, it's because they're all of cars. tell members. Okay, so we haven't spoken since Mencho got his bullet since the after the World Cup in Mexico, where when Mexico was like the shining example of a nation, ascendant nation, like Mexican culture is killing it right now. It's unarguable. It's all over the world. Mexico

is the darling and it should be, right? But obviously it's much of it is. smoke and mirrors. But is, is Claudia Shanebaum, is she really, is she really coming after criminal groups because Mexico's turning a corner or is it, is it because she's feeling the heat from the United States? It's external pressure. I mean, the U.S. is basically involved in, on the ground campaign against criminal. organizations in Mexico. Okay, but if that's true, let's start with Sinaloa. Ruben Rocha Moya in April, he's the governor of the state of Sinaloa,

leaves, flees in the middle of the night because the U.S. has just unveiled an indictment against him. He steps back and hides and doesn't tell anybody where he was. He was inside of the government building where he was, his office was, by the way. Um, he, he supposedly, fucking goes in hiding. Uh, he has a military, a special operations military attach deployed as a security detail from Mexico, which is people should think about that for a while. Okay. So that means from Mexico City. Like, yeah, Mexico City sent a detachment of special operations soldiers and federal police to protect a guy who had just got a red notice from the United States for being a cartel, um, affiliated individual.

Right. And he goes way back with the Chapos, like way back. He goes way back with Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, brother. Right. The former president of Mexico. Former president of Mexico and basically the spiritual and or actual leader of the political, federal political class in Mexico. Morena, he started Morena. So he's the guy. Wow. Rocha Moya is his brother. He's said. this multiple times.

Claude Chamebaum, when she was campaigning in Cina Loa, she said, like, hey, they say that he's involved, but he isn't. And like, I'm not involved, but you can look, whatever you want. There's no involvement. This is before she was elected president. And then a bunch of politicians have come out that they were abducted. They were pressured to vote one side or the other to drop out of races

because Los Chapos had an agreement with Rocha Moya. that they were going to give him the governor gubernatorial ship right if they if they if they if they were allowed to work right and this is this this this is all going on with the backdrop of the scene of law cartels still kind of having some sort of cohesion having some sort of agreements between all the historical heads oh myo is still cool with everybody all that shit's going on and then a d a dea informant of some sort i think he was a uh a former cop in Kulekan got fingered as an informant. And the people loyal to those chapitos picked them up with full cooperation of some state agencies in the in, in, in, in the in, in the law.

And he was murdered along with 11 other people, I think, including a 13 year old boy. And that is what got rocha moya in the crosshairs of the U.S. government. Gotcha. Okay. So he basically allowed. he exposed the informant to the Chapitos. Okay. This is part of the case behind him. So this guy. So it's as clear as day to anybody from Kuikon that he is involved.

Of course it is. What I want to know, though, is it's clear that this is the new strategy for the Americans is to come after the crooked politicians, right? Like that is the new, it's almost as important as the kid. Kingpin strategy, maybe even more now. Why is Mexico not picked him up yet? Because he is the best friend and almost spiritual brother of the political founder of Morena. There's there's there's a, how can they?

It would be, you know, it would be shooting themselves in the foot if they do. And it's also an admission that, you know, shit is very wrong in the, in the, in the Morena party. And they can't have that. They're between a rock and a hard place, basically, right now. The U.S. has weaponized this new type of terrorist designation and is basically using it to now say like, hey, Andres Manel-Lopez-Obrador, yeah, your son's visa has been revoked.

And Andy Obrador, Andres, basically, they call him Andy. Andres's kid is currently running for office. And he's going the same route as his father. And he just had his visa revoked, right? And he's running for president? He's running for, I think, a federal seat, I think. But not president yet, no. But that's in his cross air, you know?

Right. But his visa was taken. But this is so crazy because this is, Mexico thumbing its nose at the U.S. Because when the U.S. wants you, especially with kingpins,

it seems like, I mean, shame bombs extradited, I don't know how many people since she took office. A shitload of high level people. They arrest you and then they ship you to us. Now you've got a politician. It's almost as blatant as like our people,

our politicians being in the Epstein files, right? It's so, but she's clearly weighing it like my party's support from my base is more important than appeasing the Americans. So what is what is the danger to her in that? Could the CIA kidnap a Mexico's president? Is it that dangerous? Yeah. I mean, I mean, number one, can it? Can the U.S. kidnap a president in the middle of the night?

I think the answer is yes. There's a precedent for this. I think it happened once before. Yeah. They have these black Doritos that will throw lasers at you and you'll cook from the inside. Apparently is whatever. Don't worry about it. Okay.

Can you go? What? Some sort of energy weapon that they utilized during that Maduro raid where they made a frequency inside of your body that heats you up from the inside out is what is out there in the internet and I've heard okay right that they've over flew it over

the place where they picked up Maduro independently of that Mexico is one of the last bastions of the left in South America you see the you see the dominoes falling you know who do we have left

Ecuador chose to invite the Americans in And currently they're engaged in some shenanigans down there Some shit being blown up People that used to hide in Ecuador can't hide in Ecuador anymore So they have to fucking go somewhere Venezuela president was kidnapped in the middle of the night With the black burritos and all that shit And now there's a I mean I'm hearing

I don't know on your end But I'm hearing American military operations On the border where these guerrilla the forces from Colombia would just basically hide out and camp out while shit cooled down in Colombia. So now that's, that's, that's, that refuge is gone for them. So, well, it's even, it's even worse in Colombia. They fucking, they're letting the, you know who's in. Yeah. So, yeah, so they're really fucked. They're about to see some forest fires. They're about to see some. That's six letters. That's right. That's six letters is, is, is in Colombia. They,

they, we're talking about the Jews people. We're talking about the Israelis, people. We're talking about the Israelis. Israel. Yes, six letters. But now you have, now you have an American citizen in charge of Colombia,

because that guy's American citizen. The guy who won is actually an American citizen. And you're seeing all these military operations against them, so there's no refuge there. So all these places are kind of like, Evo Morales is being guarded by this fucking coca plantation

people somewhere, where he's at and he's probably going to get picked up as well. So you have all these people on the left of the political structure in South America now, kind of like on their back leg. It's pretty much just Mexico and Brazil

are the only, and they're the most powerful countries in Latin America and they're the last ones that are standing up to this U.S. imperialistic, you know, neocon warmongering. coming from Washington.

Everybody else is sold out or, or, you know, been subsumed by pressure from the United States. You also have, again, I think the issue with Mexico is this. It's a majority-led country by a leftist organization, Morena. It is, it has been voted in in some of the biggest landslide victories in history. So it is a very popular political party. So it's not like it's like a fringe thing. We're not at Venezuela levels here.

There's no, it's not, it's not, the hunger hasn't reached. The economy is kind of pretty stable still. Yeah, businesses are going under and shit like that and like everywhere in the world right now with the, what the way the economy is. But the issue in Mexico isn't poverty, isn't some of these, some of these, some of the, some of the, I don't know, what you would see in some of these banana republic communist type environments. It's nowhere near any of that. But it is openly defying the U.S. And in many voting aspects, be it condemning what happened to the Palestinians and going against

the kind of Israeli policies and stuff like that. And also now against the U.S. Anti-Americanism in Mexico was at an all-time. high and it's completely and utterly and you look at comments sections because I they tell you not to look at them but I look at them every now and then it's a pretty good way of kind of gauging thing it is anything that is posted in Mexico about the United States is immediately tagged with Epstein and Israel and that's a sentiment that a large segment of the population Mexico has right now as far as

how they view the United States, right? And that's on the one end. And on the other end, the United States is actively looking to end its fentanyl problem and its cartel problem in Mexico without the permission of the country to operate within its borders. So it's blown up a few people already. Whole fishing crews have gone missing in the ocean as well. In Mexico? In Mexico.

Tell us. I had no idea about that. There's fishing collectives all across the Pacific have missing people that they don't know where they are. And it's obvious that they were probably on a boat somewhere in the ocean and got blown up and or, I don't know, something. There are not verified cases of CIA operating in Mexico doing advisory and training. within state forces of states that are governed by people who are not from Morena, who are more of the conservative political side of the spectrum in Mexico, like the PAN. So the U.S. is operating in Mexico and has been for years, for years.

That's no, that's not, the whole, will they put boots on the ground? I think the question should be, will we see a full incursion of the United States Marines in northern Mexico in the next few years. That is what we're not waiting for like, hey, is the U.S. going to boots on the ground in Mexico? It's happened already. These operations have happened already. Are we going to see a large-scale military invasion in Mexico? That's kind of like the next question we're about to see if we can answer.

You sent me a link of Verra-Yessa speaking about the fact that it'll Mayo Zimbada gave himself up and and he that was his extradition to United States. Right, right. I listen to him a lot. I really respect him and I say a lot of the stuff he says is pretty

spot on. You're talking about the DEA agent, retired DEA agent Bereas. What's his first name? Berreyesa, I don't remember his name. He's, he's, He's the guy with the cowboy hat that you always see on podcasts. And he's the guy who basically what worked in Cina Loa for years as an undercover.

And he was involved in the whole Kiki Kamarena murder scandal, meaning he basically discovered, he discovered that the CIA, because they were doing raids on stash houses in L.A. and they would get ready to arrest the guys and some guy for the CIA would show up and be like, what are you doing? No, no, no, no, no, take the cuffs off of him. And that's where he started pulling the thread where he discovered the link between

cocaine trafficking, the CIA, Rick Ross. Essentially, he fucking, this cop stumbled into one of the biggest scandals of the late 20th century in America, which was the Iran-Contra scandal. So, Yeah. He was on a podcast the other day claiming that Mayo Zambava was not kidnapped, but actually

volunteered. He turned himself into the DEA. I'm not sure if that's true. Yeah. But that's what you're talking about. Yeah. I'll give you my opinion on that. Why would you give yourself up and be put on a plane with a family member of El Chapo

Guzman? why would the plane thereon be mod the turbo commander plane be modified in such a way to get around federal inspection in Mexico by the military in the air force they changed a bunch of serial numbers they added extended fuel tanks on it for a farther flight they bought that plane somewhere in south america dude CIA shit that all that they said the FBI did that it's a whole CIA operation okay so you so um i saw the pictures of him while he was being questioned and I've been in zip ties and handcuffs before myself a few times you know and that man was in handcuffs that that man was put in zip ties on that

plane so if you're giving yourself up that's kind of a weird thing to do when they when they showed up when they landed in the US they let go of the pilot they didn't let him go there was an agreement between the people involved and he was meant to walk. Later on, he was picked up in Mexico again, put in federal prison and then extradited to the United States, which is the most hilarious thing in the world.

They fucked him, man. But the, all of this is, all this is classic, you know, fucking art of war shit, you know? And I don't see any part of this where El Mio Sambana or his, family were benefited. Outside of the fact that we're now seeing a very embattled chapisa that is being currently

dismantled and they have less territory now and most of their family members are protected federal witnesses in the United States. Right. Obviously, they were the biggest winner out of this. To call them winners, I mean, everybody is flipped. You know, dad's dad is withering. away at ADX Florence. So if you can call it winning, but

I say, you know. That's why I don't see a deal. I don't see El Mayo, this being a deal for El Mayo. It's just like, it doesn't make any sense. I don't know. Maybe he knows something that we don't know when he gives that opinion, but I just don't see it myself. But it's an interesting intake. And if he did know something,

why was he sentenced to life in prison? He's not going to get the federal death penalty. They just don't do that. They just don't do that. Mio, especially in New York, so, which is where he was, where he was sentenced. So if he really had all this dirt on the politicians, like they speculated that he did, why did he just plead out and take his life sentence? Like, if I, if I was Mio at the end of my life, and I had dirt on all of these Mexican politicos, and the government was offering me a chance to not die in prison. prison. I'm putting my fucking hand up all day.

Dude, get, get, get, get, get, get, let me keep my money, uh, full immunity to my sons. And I'll give you everybody in that in the cabinet, if you want, but 100% and he was betrayed by politicians to like the in collusion with the chipitos. Like, why wouldn't you? But it's, it's interesting. I guess he didn't have as, I guess he didn't have as much dirt as we thought or what's up with that. Or he was, he's on. his way out and he knows it he has uh he probably has a pretty severe diagnosis which has been apparent the way he looks and and and some of the reports we've seen as far as his health and he probably is on the first stages of dementia you know uh whatever he was consuming for a few years

probably isn't good for brain health and so i think more so than anything he was picked up not for what he could provide information-wise. He was picked up to start something in Mexico. And I think that's what we're seeing. I mean, you, it's a disruptive move. I mean, you can't involve yourself and go full force into a country. Then you make the country ask for it, I guess. It would be one way of looking at it.

But this was planned. I don't see this being random. I don't see this being a, you know, shit. So let's, just the plane modifications alone. The plane modifications alone, and I know a little bit about fucking turbo commanders,

I used to fly around in one with a governor. The plane modifications alone of that nature, that's something, unless they have their own fucking people just working on at 24-7, that's probably four or five months. Four or five months, let's say. then figuring out how you're going to achieve this because it's a very risky operation. You're getting one of the sons of El Chapo Guzman, who historically hasn't been really involved with a lot of this stuff,

who is more of a familiar, to convince somebody to go into a meeting that is not going to be a real meeting. And that meeting was between Rocha Moya and the former head of the, university who in mec universities in mexico have like a political power so there was some sort of political gripe between both of them and in this meeting uh quen was his name shows up rocha moya doesn't show up or maybe he does it's kind of weird he says he was in the u.s at that time who knows um but rocha moya shows uh rocha moya doesn't show up quen shows up el mayo is the one who is going to mediate this meeting apparently and then his bodyguard get shot.

Gwen gets shot and then gets placed in a truck and his body then the state prosecutor says he was killed in a robbery attempt at a gas station which is bullshit. Again, state involvement in this is pretty fucking wild

and open like if people want to pay attention to it. And somehow all this happens and it's just El Chapaguzman's son that does it. Nobody else or Elmayo basically says like, yeah, I'm going to surrender myself to U.S. authorities. Let me kill one of my good friends, Gwen, which I know, and I have known for years for no reason

in this fake meeting that didn't happen. And then it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. So maybe Mayo has all this dirt and maybe they did offer him a deal and he's like, nah, I'm just going to, I know I'm dying anyways. let me just go out the biggest G in the history of narcos. I'm not even going to give up these dirty politicians who probably gave me up. Yeah.

I'm taking it to the grave. Who knows? It sounds like somebody who's pretty cool in the culture. It sounds like somebody who's never arrested for a film 50 years and somehow made it through. Right. And let's be honest, he definitely throughout his career fed people to authorities. So let's not sing his praise. without forgetting that, you know, he was a bad guy.

But, you know, like, it was just interesting to me that no politicians have really, no big indictments besides that of Rocha Moia and a bunch of people from Sinaloa, who we kind of all knew anyways, were involved, you know, with cartels. It's just surprising that nobody so far, you know, Harfuge hasn't, you know, you know, unveiled some giant indictment of somebody in Mexico City from the words of, you know, Mayo or Choppel. They can't. They can't.

So the reason they can't is because if they do, it ties Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador directly into cartel, influence and inheritance. And that is something that you just can't do. Because then the Moreno Party is going to be fucked, is what you're saying. Okay. So is Harfuge, is Harfuge part of the Morano Party? Harfouche is part of the Moraner Party. Harfuge was with the current president of Mexico when she was the head of government in Mexico City. That's where he had his assassination attempt by the New Generation Cartel.

They ambushed them. Pretty hardcore ambush. And I think Harfush is in a hard spot, you know. Right. Dude, Harfush, out of all the people in politics in Mexico, Arfush is a pretty interesting character. He comes from politics. His family was very much involved

and there was an actress there but he made it through the Federal Police Academy. I have friends of mine who went through with him and I have friends who know him personally and he's an interesting character. Smart. One of the smartest when it comes to politicals,

when it comes to law enforcement and security shit in Mexico like he is the guy Right? But this is such a difficult place for him to be in because, I mean, he, if there is any sort of tie between Rocha Moya and the Sino-Law cartel, and it's verified by federal prosecutors in Mexico, there's a pretty easy line between that and now having the Sina-Law-Cartel being a financial supporter or backer of Andres Manal-Bas over there during his. election process, right? Right. And again, these aren't hypotheticals.

Undreszman and Lepa, Lepa, Zervador, went to the hometown of, uh, of, uh, of, uh, Yeah, he went to Barrioia, yeah, he went to Barrioia de Aguato and there's a, there's a video of him with Chappo's mother and he's saying hi to her and he's saying, hey, just, just be cool. Yeah. You know, because we're being filmed right now. Six, six, seven times, uh, you know, there's like videos of him speaking to some of the townspeople there. It's like, hey, don't, don't buy Chinese drugs. Buy local drugs. They're better.

Right. He's championing, you know, local opium poppy growing and stuff like that. So, so, so basically if Harfuz probably wants to be president, he's got a tow the line. He can't betray the Morana Party, obviously. There's nobody right now in politics in Mexico that I can see making a successful run for the, for the, for the for the for the presidential seat in the next election cycle other than Harfush. Yeah. Okay, so America, this puts, you know, the CIA and the Justice Department, people, you know, obviously who I would say the evil forces that want to subvert Mexican sovereignty in the U.S., this makes it really difficult for us because we thought this is the strategy, right, is going after the politicians that are colluding with the kingpins. But it's just impossible. It's, this goes to your theory of why there's going to be military, there's going to be a military clash because this leaves us no other choice in the minds of the Washington Warhawks.

There's no other choice. We can't, we could put an indictment out against all the politicians in Sinaloa and the Mexican government goes, yeah, there's nothing we can do about it. Yeah. And again, I, just see people that have this whole theory about me being a CIA. operative guy. I do not want that to happen. U.S. military intervention has very bad track record in the past few decades. You think? Yeah. So not a good thing. Can I just interject real quick? The reason they say that, because I've thought about this before, it's because you speak such good English. So could you give a quick two-minute background on why you speak such good English with almost no accent?

Look, in first In first place, the people that say is a one of a ball of pendejos

number one. Number two, me, they're going to make a manos to pelar me

the berga. So, that plant an arbor of the planes in my tomb for

that when after they're going to be done on. I don't know. I don't know.

He, he, what a beautiful language. He said you can plant banana plants on your

tomb and peel them off. And in some Mexican village, that means suck my dick. Oh, poesia. Duidiooma. No, I say this because I have family in Mexico. I have a lot of family in Mexico.

And I have family in the United States. It's a weird fucking place for me to be in. I am both not really a Mexican because I chose to immigrant, immigrate, and I'm also not really an American because I'm an immigrant. So it's a fucking, you know, it's a fucking, you know, rocking a hard place. And I see many Mexicans out there probably have the same fucking experience that I do. The reason why I have this theory, just like I had the theory about Donald Trump going the route of naming these people, terrorist organizations before he did and kind of like called it, I can see a moment in our, in our, in the future, in the near future, where the global, war kind of slows down or shuts down and we see a military objective in Mexico of some sort.

And I think the reason for that is clear, I guess, for many people, if they can see it. One, the United States is losing its ability to remain present globally. And we, I mean, this ran war was pretty interesting to see how they've managed to kind of survive this onslaught from one of the biggest military powers in the world. The technology element in this is also something people need to be aware of. There are vehicle plants all over Mexico that can build easily some of these Shahidron missiles. if they wanted to. Now, are they? No, are there any plans to do so? Who knows? But if the United States engages in a military operation with a country like Mexico and there is open hostilities between both countries, Mexico has a pretty good shot at having a pretty

defending itself. Defending itself. Because guess who's going to come out of the woodwork? It's not just your, because you have an excellent military. You do have an excellent military. Guess who's going to come? You invade Mishua Khan. You invade Halisco, Durango, with American troops. Guess who is going to come out of the fucking forest and suddenly you've got an extra 100,000 fighters that know the region and have the weaponry. Yeah. And all of your enemies now have somewhere where they can put their money into, right? So what do you mean? What do you mean? Explain that? I mean, the United States has a very strategic beautiful gift as being between two oceans,

Canada at the top, those guys are nice, and Mexico at the bottom, which is historically where the fires have been put, you know? The Soviet Union had one of its biggest fucking spy bucket agencies in Mexico City because it was just right next door. The United States realizes it has a strategic week. weakness with Mexico. And if it doesn't take control over its ability to decide, which I think a lot of this cartel going after these cartel organizations has now shifted to politics because it's very

much about regime change now. It has, I mean, fentanyl and cocaine and people smuggling is what it is. But they're going after politicians now and people who are into fuel with trafficking and all this. It's a different type of game now. The United States is not going to survive into the future without its industrial plant. And it doesn't have its own.

It doesn't have the resources. It doesn't have the resources to man its industrial plant. And the only one out there that is currently ready to go and plugged in to the United States is the one on the southern border with Mexico. So you think there's an economic strategy to invading Mexico? It's all economic. It's a strategic and economic strategy to do it. It's not in Mexico.

It's to gain dominance over the whole of the continent. It's Monroe doctrine shit. It is. But to me, that's, you know, that's short-term end of the empire belligerence. It's, hey, look it. You're right. We're kicked out of the Middle East. So it's a strategic unwinding of U.S. hegemony in the Middle East, right?

Through this fake war that's really just biding everybody time. you know, to decide who's going to control the straight of Hormuz with Iran. Yeah. And in the meantime, in the meantime, we'll insider trade. So we're making billions, right, when we, Trump makes an announcement. And everybody knew that this was going to happen. That's why we don't have any fuel shortages, because they were fucking preparing for it for fucking almost a year.

Exactly. Exactly. So it's now, okay, we've, that unwinding has happened. There's the American population, which is suffering from stagflation, is control. by, you know, drones in every city, you know, data centers, the control grid is there, but we still, these weapons manufacturers, $1.5 trillion defense budget, it's got to go somewhere. So we have to deploy this. So this is, to me, that, you know, Mexico is one of the targets.

Because think about it, we've successful, we've had coups over the last 100 years and almost successfully in almost every single Latin American country from Argentina, Chile, obviously all of the banana republics, right? Mexico's, you're on our list. You know what I mean? Yes. And we can safely say now, after the, God bless the Trump administration for revealing all the JFK files, right?

All JFK files revealed something extra, not just the involvement of, you know, whoever was involved in the JFK thing. I think it's not too clear anymore. The six letters. I just go like this. That's how you know. Covering up the bald patch, dude. That's all him saying that.

I have no idea who he means. The Yamis. We also revealed the fact that most of the presidents in Mexico from the 60s on forward were all CIA backed and paid for agents, right? Wow. And we can be almost 100% sure that Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and Claude Seymom are not CIA-backed presidents in Mexico. Exactly. And we can't have that. We can't have that. That is kind of like we can be pretty sure about that. And I think that's why the war on drugs has just escalated into a war on the political class in Mexico.

and we're going through a regime change now. Again, I don't want military intervention in Mexico. And I'll paint a picture for people that this is why this is not a good idea. But I think it's where we're going, though. But this is why it's not a good idea. Number one, if you do any sort of military operation by the United States of the kind that we've seen in the past, You know? It's probably going to be an expeditionary force sent into Mexico.

It's probably going to be a naval blockade of Mexico. There's going to be a mass exodus or evacuation of thousands of Americans living down there, if not more. So it's a shit show. A lot of these people are going to be very upset because they're leaving behind property, investments, businesses, family, dogs, whatever you want. They're going to be pretty upset about that, and that's not going to be a good political thing for the United States. You are also going to have a mass exodus of people

who are saying like, hey, you know what? This looks like it's about to turn into Syria. Let's fucking leave. And where do they go? I think they go to Guatemala, right? No, fuck up. They're going to try and make their way to the U.S. as well. And I don't care how.

They scamper over that wall, dude. Yeah. And so that's, you're going to see the wave of migration that that's going to produce is going to rival anything that came out of Syria. And if you believe in the globalist agenda, right? If you think that the central banks and the yommies and a combination of all the neocons, you know, the anti-human kind of cabal, if you believe in that, then that theory would make sense. We want to use mass migration.

We want to use, you know, war to cause mass migration to basically, you know, speed up the fall of the West. That, you know, what you're saying kind of makes sense, right? And yep, and that's like at the beginning of this offensive if it happens, which it might, you know. And by the way, where do you think a naval blockade would happen? Like, what part of the country? It's on the Pacific coast. Okay. Yeah.

And I'm not looking at China, but I'm looking at China. That's the, that's going to be the reason why they do it if they do, you know. So all boats coming in and out of Mexico need to be checked, you know, something of that nature might happen. You see if this happens, and again, this is something I've spoken to from people like, people like Gaffa and some of the people that I know down there who are in the military who have these notions of what could happen if they had to react to something like this. and my friends in the U.S., who are analysts and people who are on this weird side of the internet, you have this wave of migration. You have a full militarized border. You have shortages on the shopping aisles because we are one of your biggest trading partners,

and people just don't understand that until that trading ends. There is an economic hit that you're going to feel. directly. You're going to feel it in your store aisles. Then you have the issue of drugs now completely being cut off because once you militarize that border, truly, nothing gets across.

Right? Once you militarize that border truly, or you close that border, because now if something like this happens, you're not, Senate Cedar is not going to be a three-hour wait. It's going to be a few days wait if you want to get across that border if it's militarized. So now you have people going,

through withdrawals in the United States. You have a health crisis going on with people just fucking trying to scale off this. That's not even taken to account the fact that we have, Mexico has a giant population living within the United States already. So if they want to suddenly politicize themselves and they're no longer, they're trying to make a way to buy a little house in their ranch somewhere in Mitya Khan and wanted to get back, now they're like, now they're true believers. Now they saw a family member of theirs getting blown up by a Reaper drone somewhere in the hillsides of Michoacan.

So like then, now they want revenge. What would be the strategic objective of the U.S. and invading Mexico? The stated objective. I mean, it would be pacifying cartel violence and the flow of drugs into the United States. But realistically, it's about securing its industrial base for the future in northern Mexico. I mean, that's, I think that's, that, that is the end goal. So it would essentially look like annexing northern Mexico. Yes.

That would be, okay. So the way that Russia is, is going to take the Dunbass region in Ukraine. Yeah. It's going to be the United States Crimea, I think. Okay. That makes sense. All right, because that's where all the macchiadores are, the factories that make all the shit. The industrial, the, the investment you would have to make as a country in the United States to not only build the industrial plan, but also program the citizenship to work in that industrial plant is just not viable.

It's not viable and it won't happen. And robots are still, I mean, sex robots maybe are pretty close, but I don't think of working robots like that. I got mine upstairs, but I don't know. She's being a bitch right now. So she's not talking to me. I went to this drone conference and I saw some of the robots they have and it's, we're not we're not there yet no you're still gonna you're still gonna need uh you're still gonna need cheap labor yes small small small small small small for the for the shells to polish the inside of the

shelves with the small hands small brown hands small small small so are we talking about how deep down and so we're talking about taking baha del norte so the northern half of bahia california at least I mean, theoretically, I think Baja goes, Sonora definitely goes. The whole state of Sonora. The whole state of Sonora. Chihuahua? That's a big region, bro. That's a huge swath of land.

All of that goes. And then all the goes. All the way to the east in Tamolipas? Yeah. And Monterey is going to say like, no, we don't want to be Americans. Right, right. Think about it. You've been there.

Yeah. Oh, they all, they think they're Americans. They're all white chickens. Okay. But you're talking about, you're talking about like, bro, that would be so egregious. Because remember, we already stole 25% of the original Mexico. So now we're talking about taking another 25% of it. And pacifying it.

You're going to pacify it. You're going to pacify it. You're going to take out the cartels there. Right. You're going to eliminate the ability for them to do extortions and paid protection and abductions and all that. And that's going to be the reason why they invite you in to secure all this area. That's that's kind of the argument, I guess, that they're going to utilize. I see.

So it's not going to, we're not going to actually absorb those states into the United States, like Puerto Rico or something. It's just going to be controlled effectively by us. Yeah. I think that's what I see. I mean, and it's a, it's a pattern, you know. Where are all these events happening, you know, northern Mexico? Where are all the resources in the northern Mexico concentrated northern Mexico? Sonora.

Right. So, so for people, you know, there's always dummies that think this is a good idea, right? You know, they don't get mad at the Purdue family for getting all Americans addicted to opioids, but they're like, yeah, yeah, okay, faggot. Why? So for people in the comments that think this is a good idea, that that's what the United States needs to do, that cartels are the biggest national security threat,

what do you say to them, and what is the counter argument to that? What could go wrong with the U.S. trying to take 25% of Mexico, taking all of the northern states of Mexico? I had a conversation with Gaffa about the, It's like, what is going to be the response? And he said, the same thing, the same thing that most Mexicans think. The current wave of anti-American, anti-Zionist, anti-all that going on in Mexico is going to radicalize a youth, what we have in Mexico.

And our youth is not like an American youth. Our youth will grab an AK-47 and get in the back of the truck and go after some fuckers. Right, right. So I think we run the risk of radicalization and run the risk of turning some of these criminal organizations, which they are, into guerrilla forces and having our own FARC on the southern border. And that's going to lead us into like, hey, they can make Shahid drones and fucking just fly them over the border. It doesn't matter. You don't have a golden shield yet. So that leads to kind of, they need to figure that out now.

So that's one issue. Second issue is the fact that this fight How many people do you How many I know many Marines And a lot of those Marines have the same Last names as most of the people that I went school You know?

For sure. Yeah. Calerone, Gittierrez. Gutierrez, Hernandez, all these guys. You're sending him off to fight a war against people That look like them that have the same shit for breakfast That the I know loyalties and all that have been an issue, they haven't been an issue for the United States because most of your enemies have been foreign.

But like Mexico and the United States are more in common than we want to think. You know, they did this, uh, they did this DNA research on people from people in Texas who are denying the fact that they were any sort of Mexican. It turns out the most of them like 80%, you know, um, so we're, we're in twice. So now you, but, but to take to keep those industrial zones in Mexico, in the north, we would have to have boots in the ground. Yep. So those guys are targets.

Tell us what you were telling me before we started rolling about the military capabilities of the CJNG and those in the state of mutual con. Yeah. And how those could be deployed with a guerrilla force if we had, if Americans were in Mexico. Yeah. I mean, so again, it's incredible. Again, I'm not shitting on the U.S. military and their capabilities. Dude, the U.S. has some wild capabilities.

Of course. But it also has a shortage of people that want to join the military. And there's a recruitment issue. And they're not happy with us right now, especially if you're on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz. No, no. So what could happen? what could happen is that the United States now has a giant target on their backs. They're an invading force.

They're not where they are welcomed by the local population. And they are in a place specifically in the northern part of Mexico where there is a history of IADs. So they're going to be experiencing IEDs again. You have a region where plastic mines are kind of in vogue, Colombian style. plastic mines are in vogue out there. You have a place that has, we've already gone through the evolution process of drones dropping bomblets on people.

That's something we already have in Mexico and they're pretty good at it. We already have drones being utilized for surveillance. We already have drones that are not going to be able to be jammed because they're going off a wire. The only thing we're missing now is those common causey drones and it's really because we don't have

a lot of spent or access to a lot of military stockpiles like they do in the Ukrainian conflict. But once they figure out that you can, you can actually print that out and make it yourself and not depend on having an actual RPG rocket, you can lob onto it. And then it's game on. All that in an urban setting or a rural setting of northern Mexico, where people are not only experimented and have long experiences fighting in

that region and for that region. They have a vested interest in that region because it's their home. So now you encounter a Taliban-type setting where it's going to be a war of attrition. Mexico has within it the capabilities of

manufacturing things that could be lobbed into the United States in a deep strike manner, just like the Ukrainians have. So that is on the table now. People need to realize that's on the table now. It's not something that is outside of the confines of what could really happen. The Iranians built up their fucking drone program for years waiting for this. They were ready for this.

And all those lessons learned. I mean, the U.S. basically built their own Shaheed drone based on the Iranian design. And now it's lobbying it back at them. So we have a president who is about to. who at the end of his term is already announcing he's going to go for a third term in the United States. And what is one of the only ways you can do that? Can't, well, I mean, legally. War Powers Act.

Right. Right. So you needed somebody to go to war against. And like, look around. Yeah. Canada's not. It's Canada. Where are you guys?

I mean, your friends are like, yeah, you can beat them up. Yeah, you can beat Israel up really. Yeah, yeah, I can't, yeah. Oh, fuck. Damn, that wasn't. Who else is out there? Let's see. Okay, so tell us about the snipers.

There's also, like, really capable snipers within the cartel ranks that could potentially be deployed in a guerrilla fight against the U.S. We always laugh at the fact that a lot of the times we see all these rifles being captured by cartel forces. and stuff like that. They don't have any sites on them. But I've, we have, if you go on my Instagram account, manifest a radio podcast, you'll see a lot of the special operations community in Mexico

kind of send me, they tag me in the shit because I've trained some of those guys and we have a relationship going on. But they tell me about people they find with precision rifle strikes, like far away rifle strikes, that have found. marked sighting systems on on on on on on on on on rifles that have found you know things that you would equate to a trained a trained long-range shooter you've found they found things that are related to some of the same training they got as far as being precision shooters out from afar 50 caliber anti anti tank rounds being utilized against some of their forces from a from a

far distance this this this this this this is easy to access technology for them. And it's also they get a lot of practice. For sure. And put that in an urban setting. You know? Right. So we're talking Juarez, Tijuana,

Nogales, Monterey, Matamoros. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is like hypothetical, but think about it. Now, now,

it's full of you have this. level. Now you have these cartel members are now being armed by the defending federal army, defending against this invasion. If you don't think that can happen, you don't know history. Because we, I mean, we ourselves have allied, we did it in Vietnam. We allied with Cambodian and Thai and Loeatian heroin syndicates to fight against the Viet Cong. I mean, this has happened all over the place. There, governments, have allied themselves with with criminal organizations in times of war yeah it's it's not going to be in it's like again it's it's it's going to be very costly and if like everybody has in their minds

have have have imagined a civil war in the united states and what that could what the possible flashpoint for it could be this is it this is think about the mass amount of people within government that would be very opposed to an open military campaign in Mexico where they're seeing their family members flee, their investments burn, and where they're forced to fight people from the land that they came from. Yeah, this is almost a civil war. What you're describing is effectively a civil war. Yeah. And I think people need to kind of like pay attention to that aspect of it, because it's a, you know, it's for, yeah, send a drone. And, And send the seals out there so they can write a book about Mexico.

I don't know. Whatever it is. It is, you know, yeah, abducting the president in the middle of the night. They can see that. Invading Mexico and trying to pacify it with boots on the ground. Yeah. We'll see. That will, that could be the final straw in the death of the U.S. dollar.

Because that's what we have right now is. the de-dollarization. You know what I mean? Like the bond yields today are at emergency levels. So I think that would be the final death of, you know, the rest of the world be like, oh, we're done with these people. We're selling the rest of our U.S. Treasuries for gold. That may be, that may be it. A cartel, cartels uniting with the government of Mexico to fight the gringoes would be fucking awesome. technically they're already technically they're already

united in some of them yes right but I mean kind of more openly yeah I mean it's the thing think about it you send SEAL Team 6 to Helisco and you show up and you

kill all these guys we're protecting El Zero 3 who is an American citizen by the way the head of the New Jersey cartel is a U.S. citizen born in Santa Ana California Somehow you get You Obama him. I think Obama drone struck a U.S. citizen, right?

So you do want Obama on that guy. And then the video comes out and people with their cell phones or whatever, whatever. The people there are not going to go to El Mention's grave right now. It's covered in flowers. That guy was not a villain in his community. Right. He was a – and if – I think it was very smart for the Mexican military to have participated in that and done that act of putting a bullet in that person.

Because if it was Americans, I think we would have seen a very different reaction. Right. You're talking about uprising at this point. That's an act of war. Like killing our guy is an act of war. Yeah. And I think, I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I think U.S. intelligence was involved in that, but the Mexican army were the ones that did the deed. But. And people don't know, like, there's still millions of people in Mexico who think like that and have that in their culture, where it's like the government is the enemy, the gringo is the real enemy, and, you know,

if we have to choose between the lesser of the evils, it's going to be the controlling criminal organization. Millions of people. Yeah. I mean, from Durango all the way to the southern you know, indigenous communities, obviously mutual Khan, even where we went in Halisco, just an hour from fucking Guadalajara, where the Corona Beer Factory is and where they were having the World Cup, they're having training camps, and there's guys on horseback riding through the town. I mean, do you think those guys are like, you know, welcoming the U.S. Army? No.

No. And, again, you're killing the people that they've been living off. of for decades. I mean, who's the government in there? I mean, I mean, if anybody doubts any of this, go to Halisco and see El Mentiona's grave. It's covered in flowers. And his, the funeral was filled with people who are on the FBI's most wanted list. And nobody did anything because they know they can't because they're surrounded by the best body armor in Mexico, the populace.

So, so it's just coming. Coming back to the present, you think that all of these, all of the extraditions that Shane Baum is doing for the U.S., all of the big headlines, the big strikes against, you know, cartel, Hallisko Nover, Haan nation, or against, you know, whoever, the big busts, the big pot, you know, you sent me videos of giant weed eradications in Mituq Khan, right? You think that's just business as usual. It's just the rotation. I think they are in a lot of ways doing things that haven't done in the past.

They're going after municipal presidents. They're going after politicians in certain parts of the country of their own party. I do recognize that. They are going after historically untouchable cartel members. El Mancho is one of them. And we can talk about the weirdness of that operation, but it was the Mexican military who was there and did what did the act. But why is all this action happening now?

It's because we just lived through a presidency of Hugs not bullets. And also we now have the pressure of the United States pointing at Venezuela and then like, you know, that Trump meme. It's like you're next. Right. So it's like they're walking this. height rope, the Morena Party, between cracking down on organized crime and cartels and dirty politicians whilst not giving in to too much pressure from the gringoes, right?

Not giving away their sovereignty in order to maintain their power base, right? Yeah. And just we're about to go through election cycle in Mexico. People should pay attention to who gets picked this candidates. Baja is a pretty good example of this. You have a governess there who is under some sort of U.S. investigation, a bunch of leaked audio of her speaking to supposed FBI agents about her cooperating have been leaked online. Her candidates are the people she supports for the upcoming elections seem to all be not the favored ones. so there is already a split happening inside of morena where they're trying to get rid of

any sort of association to some of the people that have been named in some of these indictments or who are currently under investigation is the is the marina party being infiltrated by zionism like are you know the way our politicians have basically been all of them have been bought off by by you know uh Zionist interests the lobby Is that going on in the Morena party in Mexico? The involvement of Israel in Mexico is wide and has been going on for decades. Are they involved directly with anything going on with Morena or specifically influencing things within Morena? Claudeyennebaum was sponsored politically by a few companies tied to Black Rock.

And I don't know if that has any sort of connection, but that's the only thing I've seen and were some of the people that might influence things on that side of the world might be involved. There's a few contracts going on as far as security contracts and some of the software being kind of deployed out there is all tied back to Israel. But I guess you guys, you guys, the reason they flip. us. The reason they buy us off is because we give them all our money. So as long as you guys aren't funding them, you're not

in too much danger. You know what I mean? I guess. But it's interesting. So the same phenomenon that's happened in the U.S., you think you can win a political office in the U.S. with being an open Zionist, like in the past. Not really

anymore. I mean, in Florida, the fat guy, Randy Fine, just won. But, you know, again, like he was in a district where it's all like 70-year-olds, 70-year-olds and up. So they're all, they're just watching Fox News. So in the future, it's going to get a lot harder. It already is in most places. So that's going away.

I think same phenomenon in Mexico was going to happen. Anything tied to them. Because, again, the Mexicans are pretty open. They see that now. It's like it's an awakening. For sure. The issue is that in Mexico, we view them as the view of the U.S. and Israel. is the same thing.

Right. That's the way it's viewed. And I know in the U.S., they view it as like, oh, no, get them out. But from the Mexican perspective, it's like, oh, they're both one and the same. Right. In Mexico, we're going through the phenomenon

where anything where they're involved is being kind of rejected. And anything where political class figures of Morena who are currently under investigation or have an indictment or have some sort of relationship to any of that past, they're getting burned as well, right? So there's, I think the end,

I don't think it's the end of the Moranana Party. I think it's probably going to be a division within the Moranana Party. And everybody that is going to try and, you know, get distance from all this cartel-related shit and move on to the other side. And in some way, shape, or form, maybe more play along more with the U.S. as far as what they're doing.

I think that's what we're seeing politically and an influence out there in the coming elections in Mexico. But yeah, as far as involvement, Israeli government involvement in Mexico, I think it's, I mean, they see this, they see the strategic importance of Mexico. They see the vast strategic importance

of some of the resources that represents and the fact that it's Mexico, the United States, the largest trading partner, and it's right on the border. Yeah. So it's valuable. Yeah, it is valuable, but I think ultimately I've come to the, I've looked kind of even wider,

and I don't think, I think Israel is just one node in the more, I think all of these problems are run by central banking and by the U.S. and by, like, I think Israel is kind of like the fall guy for the real, the real power. which is, again, central banking around the world. And it's just a node. It's just a node for the military industrial complex. I think that it's being wound down.

So I think that's just an easy, that's easy for people to digest. Oh, it's, you know, the small hats, right? Like, that's an easy scapegoat where, and I'm not saying what they're doing is an evil, but it's being driven and funded by a larger force. So anyways, but before we got going, because I've catch you here so long, I want to ask about some cartel shit, and I wrote it down because there's so much going on.

I wanted to keep it all together. Tell me about the watchy coal fiscal. This is a crazy crime. It's awesome. It's not something I'm really, it's not something I'm really kind of like. into. Like it's like I'm I'm kind of autistic and I focus on shit. But watchy coal, the word watchy coal is basically stealing fuel and selling it

irregularly without any sort of taxes being put on it without anything, just basically straight profit from stolen fuel. Right. Right. Which is basically taking money off, taking fuel out of the system where it's regulated and people are, and the government is making money off it and everything's being taxed, taking it out of that system and smuggling it and moving it through other means and not paying anybody's shit and just making a shit of the money, which I think that's what she called fuel.

That's fuel smuggling. Right. So historically, the cartels have stolen the oil from the Pemex government pipe lock. historically, but now it's members of the Mexican marina, it's members of the Mexican military, it's members of the Mexican government, and a lot of these people again tied to Andres Manuel López Obrador.

They arrested a guy who was an admiral for the Marines during Anders Manuel Lopez Obrador's term, who was kind of responsible for some of the largest scale. fuel theft ever documented in Mexico. It is in the billions. It is in the billions. Oddly enough, some of the same routes that they were using to smuggle some of these fuel

and some of the same platforms they were using to move this fuel was used to move guns around because it's perfect, you know? A new generation cartel was tied to some gun smuggling around some of this fuel trafficking. But this guy basically made a run for it once the investigation was on. And out of all countries, he chose to flee to.

He chose Argentina. That seems to be the spot. Out of all the countries, he's like, where do I, let's see, where could I? Well, how about the place that took in the Third Reich? Surely they don't care about a little stolen fuel from Mexico. So did they get him? Did they arrest him?

They arrested him in Argentina, although I think he would probably hand himself in, but whatever. They supposedly arrested him in Argentina, and obviously Americans were there speaking to him probably really quickly. It's an interesting thing that he chose to run to Argentina, being that it is the United States biggest ally in South America right now. They're about to extradite him back to Mexico this after months. of kind of stalling, which should be kind of telling. Because all of us were expecting this

like a golden bullet from El Maya Sambada tying government people to cartels shit. And this is this, I mean, he's an admiral. Right. Of course, Mensho.

Of course Mencho new. Oh my God, Ed. Your mind is so brilliant. What he's saying, what he's saying? is they killed my oh they killed mencho a guy who definitely was doing business with this fool in the watchy coal rackets they waited till he was out of the picture before extraditing this general back to mexico yeah i that that could be it i don't know it could be it i mean why else sounds like

it why else shoot a dude in the middle of the night and leave his house with everything in it and not do any sort of site exploitation, anything of that, because once you see it and touch it, once you get reporters walking into El Mancha's compound and like, look at all these bullets and these ledgers,

all that shit becomes inadmissible. All that shit is contaminated, inadmissible, so all that goes away. So that's why that was probably done the way it was done. I see. But now you see this guy coming back to Mexico.

That's interesting. I don't know what's going to happen to him. I think hopefully he doesn't suffer a stroke or something like that in prison. I think he might, I think he might I think it's going to be a Galane Maxwell kind of cut him a deal

so you keep your mouth shut and then we'll get you a pardon when the new president comes in. Something like that. That is some high level shit. Yeah. I mean, as far as people in custody that are out there, I think he, like, it's very

underplayed. Nobody really talks about that anymore. I really learned about his extradition today. And it's pretty valuable. I mean, think about it. He is an admiral for the Mexican Marines, the

Marina, the Mexican Navy, who was involved in one of the biggest fuel thefts in history, dwarffing anything as far as money that the cartels would make in it. Of course. Whatever. that ties all the way to some families in Utah, maybe,

and people in the United States who are in high-level oil industry, who when they were found out, three of the people involved were killed, one of them mysteriously in a shooting accident at a gun range. The Americans? The Americans were both? No, all the Marines that experienced. exposed this

scandal. This were summarily and then this guy flees who is directly involved. He flees and he's arrested and I think the importance of this guy and what he knows

and his involvement at the levels he was in. I think we'll also tie directly back to Andres Manuel Lopez Opella. Morena. Wow. So it's it's a

it's a big ass game. But what you go, the fuel theft and trafficking of this stolen fuel, when it comes to money, it dwarfs anything. Anything, drugs, fentanyl, get the fuck out of here. Get the fuck out of that shit. I mean, they had an admiral working for that shit. Think about it. So were they exporting?

And the reason I ask is because I'm seeing all of these new articles, like American journalists, really getting wise to this, because now what they're doing is, It's actually American fuel companies that are smuggling fuel from the U.S. into Mexico. So it's not stolen from Pemex anymore. It's, it's, so is it corrupt? Can you explain that? Like, what is the racket there? What is the racket of cartels and the Mexican government importing fuel from the U.S.?

It's untaxed fuel? It's untaxed fuel, no money, is being exchanging hands, or to any sort of people trying to tax it, regulated. It's a fuel being put into the system that has basically materialized in a very cheap manner. And now you have people owning various gas stations in a certain region who are filling all these gas tanks up with a fuel that they didn't even, you know, it's at the same price as the other places, but it's to. Higher profit margin. GI Norm is higher profit margin. And the people involved in this are at the highest levels.

It has to be. It has to be. So say it's an oil company, everybody's got to be crooked for this to work, right? So I believe. So it's got to be an oil family from Houston that has an agreement, you know, through an intermediary with, you know, cartel-related and political-related people in Mexico.

You need to have somebody at the border that you know that will allow that truck to go through without any sort of fucking checks or balance as being done. Yes. So you have somebody at the border that's like, yeah, this, everything. The Mexican adwanas. The Mexican customs, right.

And they say, you have to have somebody there. And I don't know, that's a cut right there. then you have to transport it through whatever parts of Mexico and put it until you put it into your fuel station. So that's another aspect of, and then you get it out there. And now you have to pay taxes and you have to get the government involved there.

So there has to be some sort of compromise there where they're like, wait a minute, you're selling how much fuel? but where did you get this? Like there's there has to be some shit going on there. So yeah, it's it's it's it's it's a small part of a giant racket that is out there. Probably that we're just exposing. Right. The president before and there's Monterey Lepa Sra,

they basically opened up the energy market in Mexico. In the past, every single gas station in Mexico was only Bemix. Now we have Chevron and Shell and all of these. So, you know, there's there is a racket going on from the U.S. to Mexico in the same way that there is a racket going on from Mexico to the U.S. again. It's fucking wild.

And just like drugs, which now, like, I bought some U.S. weed when I was in Mexico City from a deported Mexican who had a southern Hick accent, because he lived in Atlanta, he got caught selling dope. Now he's back, selling Callyweed in Mexico.

I mean, it's amazing. You live old enough. You live to be our age yet, and you're just, you're blown away by what can happen. Dude, the drug traffickers, the American drug traffickers are wild. And also the head of the new generation cartel, American. Right. He's the guy, that's the guy, Cerre 3. That's what they're saying, right?

Cero 3 is the guy. I called it when it happened. And I saw his relationship to El Mancho. Well, he's from the Valencia family. So he was, and they were the ones from Cartel, Milano, who were the predated the new generation cartel. So he's fully tied in. He's wholly tied in and connected.

And I don't know if the fact that he's an American kind of like solidified it, because there are issues with killing an American with a drone. Maybe. I don't know. They let Israel lock up. They're killing, you know, Palestinian Americans over there like it's nothing and we don't do anything about it. So I'm not, it's possible.

It's possible they could hesitate, but I think it's more of a cultural. I think it just makes it a bit more complex. I think it just makes it a bit more complex of an issue. It's not just the evil Mexicans. It's like, oh, but that gets an American. Right. And out of all the cartels right now who are operating, like, it's interesting, like the shifts you're seeing.

So those chapitas are shrinking and you just saw four bodies being dumped around El Estadio Caliente in Tijuana, for example. I just read that this morning. What was that about? Well, rumors are that it's the, it is kind of like a warning against the growing influence of a, CAF, which if people kind of remember back, that was the Ariano Fiedx cartel and what remains of it. But that doesn't make any... To me, it doesn't really make sense. I think it's more of a growth of the new generation cartel and their influence in the region,

and they're trying to, like, get into DJ proper. Like, why would you leave it around El Estadio Caliente specifically? It's an interesting, symbolic place. Yeah, yeah, something's happening in Tijuana. Tijuana is bubbling again. Yeah. And I think T1 is not only bubbling. It's like, dude, there's some shit going on there. It is back to a place that I recognize probably at the start of my career where they were openly kind of moving around. Right. There's there's some shit going on. You see that there. You see a decapitated new generation cartels, business as usual, and it's actually growing. you see La Magiza kind of making inroads into

historically controlled territories of the Chapisa. And what were those 14 bodies that they found in Zacatecas that caused the military to go up there? And they were like hung symbolically from some kind of wall.

I mean that's a Magisian, that's a Los Mayo territory and New Generation Cartel like frontline territory. So it probably has some some sort of relationship to that. I don't remember specifically. Okay.

How about this? How about this? For a theory, the remaining two Guzman sons that are still hiding out, running the Chippisa, they're already in talks to surrender, okay? Because Rocha Moy is compromised. I mean, they're not extraditing him, but he's kind of on the run. You know what I mean?

So their influence is waning big time in Kulia Khan. How about this? They turn themselves in. They've still got, according to what I've heard, they've still have the alliance with the C.J.NG, the Chapisa. The two sons turn themselves into the DEA. They're given protection in America. C.J.NG comes in, takes over the Chapisa, all the Chepisa rackets in Cinaloa and Kulia Khan. The war ends in Sinaloa. And they come to some kind of agreement with the Maisa. I don't see it. I don't see it.

I see a emboldened mageisa that has some sort of influence within the Mexican government. I see a chapisa that is now being treated as a hostile foreign enemy by the Mexican government because they see that they've been basically collaborating with the foreign power. So that's, so I don't see that. Oh, right. Right, right. And I see a new generation cartel right now that is currently being displayed by the U.S. military as the main objective, I think. I mean, it's the perfect villain.

Totally. It's the perfect Cobra commander fucking entity for the G.I.O. to fight, you know? Right. So you do think that Maisa will maintain after this is done, the Miasa will maintain control of Sinaloa. I think they're going to be the winners out of all this. Not of all Mexico, but just of the northern, their classic turf. Yeah, they're a classic turf and they have a legacy way of making and moving things in that region that other groups that are going to start out will not have. So I think they're probably strategically, they're probably in the best place.

New Generation Cartel, despite what many people might think, it's not a cohesive single organization, it's many organizations kind of like gathered it behind a franchise. Yeah. And they could fracture any day. I mean, tomorrow they could have like a fight,

and now you have four cartels instead of one cohesive group that have some sort of agreement between themselves. But they're everywhere, though. I mean, they're in Baja, They're trying to make inroads into Sonora. Verra Cruz. They're all the way to the east.

And the last sophisticated drug tunnel found on the border between San Diego and Tijuana was tied to the new generation cartel, which is the first one of its kind to be found. So how was that different than the other times? It was a pretty good, pretty good sophisticated concrete lined in the entrance ways. it came out of a dollar store on the O-Tai side and had ventilation. It was a pretty well-built tunnel, and it was tied to the New Generation Cartel, which is interesting, because that's not something that they've displayed before. And if that is the case, then they have, that means that they have enough comfort, time, security,

armed people, guns, and just power. in that region that they can just build a fucking tunnel across the board. That's which means so the tunnel went to a dollar store on the U.S. side. Yep. So somebody that owned the dollar store can you just own a dollar store or is it is it franchised? You can do it. I'm not sure if it was like a chain one, but it was like some sort of a bargain store on a

in a little strip mall right across the border which is I love it dude. I love it. I love it. It's one of a hundred. It's probably out there, realistically. But, well, let's go shoot some content there, man. Yeah. Let's go to a dollar store.

Go to a dollar store. We come in like pedophile hunters. There's a tunnel under here. Señor, what you're doing? This is property of private. You have to go? No, no, no. I'm here for you, senora.

Fuck. Maybe that's the angle. That's great content. Nobody's doing that. drug tunnel guys searching for drug tunnels. Ed, you're the fucking best, bro. Thank you so much. You just got this genius mind. You're so successful. I fucking love you, buddy. And I'll be back in California soon. So, so go follow his podcast, people. We're going to do a collab on this. So just go over to Manifest Radio on YouTube and watch his podcast. Because he's,

He doesn't need any help with the knife sales, you know, but buy knives from him, buy merch from him. Take fucking self-defense classes from him, you know, if you can get him. Yeah. I don't do self-defense classes. I'll show you how to get out of cuffs and break into places and all that shit. That's what I meant, dude. If you want to take down flock cameras, add your guy. I mean, any camera.

Any camera? maybe maybe make one of these for yourself i'm sorry what is that people can you zoom in joan there you go i'm just trying to i don't know if that's a bomb i don't know if we can show that it's it's it's it's it's just a cool little antenna it's a it's a this will produce an empe basically it's a electrical magnetic pulse oh so it's not something you would want to activate near anything electronic. Okay, understood. Understood.

But you're, but you could use it like if you're like, get lost in the woods maybe? I don't know. No, no. It's like, hey, let's turn off this device that is threatening our safety. Ah, I gotcha. I gotcha.

Don't worry about it. It's a, we do, we, we, we have a lot of capabilities and a lot of people that we work with and a lot of these training events and our participation in some of these, seminars and going to DefCon and all that is, dude, I am a very big supporter of individual liberties

and the responsibility it takes to kind of protect those liberties and come out. Let's show you some shit. Hell yeah, dude. Go to follow him on Instagram. He posts all his dates. And then, yeah, go hit up his YouTube channel. And, dude, I'll see you very soon, man.
