Nobody in this country cares about watching bombs go off, but they are interested in the Mexican border, which I just visited for three days. Mexico is a cesspool of barbarism and criminality, and that's our existential threat, not China, Russia, or Iran. The cartels run everything in Mexico, and everyone knows the truth. My son was just in Mexico City, and people told him where not to go and what not to do to avoid the cartels. If you cross them, you're dead. The cartels also take care of their own, providing healthcare and other benefits. The weapons they have are serious, including RPGs and Javelin missile systems. Border patrolmen and Texas guard people have seen them just across the border. Some of these weapons may have come from Ukraine, where corruption is rampant and a lot of the aid we send ends up on the black market.

In Lukeville, Arizona, there are hundreds of illegal immigrants, mostly fighting-age men from Central Africa, West Africa, the Middle East, and Egypt. The government is trying to hide this situation, moving them to a remote location thanks to the cartel governor, Katie Hobbs. The Democrats are to blame for the open borders policy, as they stole the election from Trump and prevented Carrie Lake from taking office. Mayorkas is lying about the situation, as they are inviting people to come in illegally under CBP one. This allows the cartels to profit, as border patrol resources are diverted, leaving the desert vulnerable to the worst criminals. Open borders Democrats are responsible for this.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These MQ-9 drones aren't armed yet but can be. The CIA is sharing the drone intel with Mexican officials to help dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. These flights have occurred before, even under the Trump administration. There are concerns about potential overreach and violating Mexico's sovereignty. Designating cartels as terrorist organizations is expected this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to risks like triggering IEDs and location leaks on social media. However, the stand-down has already been lifted, and agents are resuming normal camera operations. I've reached out to Axon, the manufacturer, and CBP to understand the fix.

Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid, originates from China and is trafficked into the US by cartels. Fentanyl analogs like Carfentanil and Xylazine are mixed with Fentanyl, causing severe harm to users. Cartels use various methods to smuggle Fentanyl into the US, including hiding it in vehicles and using migrants as carriers. Migrants become indebted to cartels, leading to exploitation. In 2023, 112,000 Americans died from Fentanyl, with 2024 expected to be worse. This crisis is described as chemical warfare originating from China.

Canada is described as sweeping the fentanyl issue under the rug by sources in the show, despite public moves like appointing a fentanyl czar and increasing northern border patrols after pressure from Trump and Kash Patel. The guest says Canadian law enforcement acknowledge the issue but feel resources are insufficient to crack down on transnational crime, with a sense that “the root of the problem” is not being addressed. The guest reports that the planning and production of fentanyl have shifted to Canada, with cartel operatives setting up labs there. They describe how cartels, after crackdowns on the southern border, moved operations into Canada where a visa is not needed for a tourist entry, allowing quick setup and networking with preexisting Canadian gangs such as the Hells Angels, Brother’s Keepers, Red Scorpion, and United Nations gang. Precursors come through the Port of Vancouver, where less than 1% of cargo is inspected, enabling easy importation of chemicals. The guest asserts that the majority of fentanyl production now occurs in Canada, with a claim of 99% certainty, and cites an operative for the Sinaloa Cartel in Canada showing labs on West Coast resources. Labs are described as often in suburban areas on farmland or small residences, not just in large urban centers. The production is said to have started in 2016-2017 as cartel operations moved into Canada, with ongoing Canadian law enforcement aware since then but under-resourced to counter transnational crime groups. The RCMP head reportedly estimated thousands of organized crime groups, but CSA’s Canadian intelligence suggests 668, highlighting a disconnect between agencies. The main cartel presence in Canada is labeled as Sinaloa and CJNG, with CJNG now possibly dominant due to Sinaloa’s weakening position and alliance with New Generation Cartel. The Canadian fentanyl flow includes enforcers recruited from Canada, including Quebec and Ontario, who manage payments, protection, and border activities to facilitate drug movement and violence. Recruitment extends globally to the Balkans, Armenia, Australia, England, and other Commonwealth countries to leverage foreign nationals who can blend in and avoid detection. Group chats reveal Canadian area codes and explicit hits-for-hire offers, with examples of payments (e.g., 55,000 Canadian dollars for a hit) and weapon procurement requirements. The border dynamics are described as significant: the northern border remains underprotected, allowing cross-border trafficking. The guest mentions that, even with a U.S. military or law enforcement option, the cartel leadership central to the operation would resist intensely if confronted on Mexican soil, implying that a direct US-backed intervention could be costly and dangerous for the cartel. A notable case described is a “BC Superlab,” a large, sophisticated operation producing meth and fentanyl, recovered in rural BC and Surrey, BC. Authorities found 400 kilograms of meth, 54 kilograms of fentanyl, plus MDMA and cocaine, plus 46 handguns, 21 AR-15 style rifles, 14 submachine guns, two .50 cal rifles, explosives, body armor, and nearly $1 million in cash. The lab’s equipment included jacketed reactors and other specialized items, with large quantities of precursors (5,000 liters of liquid precursor and 10 tons of powder) and evidence they may have been producing P2P, a key meth precursor. The RCMP described the operation as extremely sophisticated, with a network of metal ducting to vent fumes and a setup suggesting an international cross-border network with potential ties to Mexican cartel operations and other global criminal networks. Health Canada is testing unusual equipment to see if it signals new production methods. Investigators emphasize that the drugs were destined for abroad and that Vancouver’s infrastructure could facilitate expansion into Asia-Pacific markets, including China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. Despite the scale of the operation, only one person had been arrested at the time of reporting, underscoring the magnitude of the challenge and the global reach of the drug networks. Overall, the conversation frames Canada as a critical, expanding node in an international fentanyl production and distribution network, with entrenched organizational complexity, cross-border logistics, and multilingual, multinational recruitment that complicates enforcement.

We're seeing Reaper drones hunting for fentanyl labs run by criminal cartels in Mexican airspace. These drones, while currently unarmed, can be equipped for precision strikes. The CIA is sharing the intel gathered with Mexican officials to dismantle these labs, which emit detectable chemicals. Previously, the Trump administration had similar drone flights but without notifying Mexican partners. There are concerns about potential overreach. Using US military in a foreign country could resemble an invasion. Mexico's president downplayed the drone presence as campaign related. Our president is expected to formally designate six Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations this week. Also, Border Patrol briefly stopped using body cameras due to radio frequencies that could trigger explosives and social media posts revealing agent locations. The order to stand down has been lifted, and agents are wearing body cams again, but we are waiting to hear how the issues were resolved.

Border patrol resources in Lukeville have left the West Desert area towards Yuma unmanned, attracting illegal immigrants, criminals, and potentially terrorists. Water droppers and flags strategically placed along the route make it easier for them to enter the country illegally. The lack of tracking and monitoring in this area poses a major national security threat, as drugs, human trafficking, and potential terrorists can freely pass through. The prioritization of processing fake asylum requests over patrolling these areas is a result of Joe Biden's policies, putting America's security at risk. Dumped clothes and water bottles indicate recent activity, highlighting the urgency to address this issue. The number of illegal crossings is likely much higher than reported due to the lack of monitoring.

Ioan Grillo - Cartel Wars & The Fentanyl Crisis | SRS #046
Guests: Ioan Grillo
reSee.it Podcast Summary
This week, Shawn Ryan interviews Ioan Grillo, an investigative journalist focused on cartels, particularly the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation cartels. They discuss the recent power dynamics in Mexico, including the Mexican government's capitulation to the Sinaloa cartel, which led to the release of El Chapo's son, Ovidio Guzmán, after a violent confrontation with security forces. Grillo details a significant military operation on January 5, where the Mexican army engaged cartel members in a rural area, resulting in casualties on both sides. The operation coincided with President Biden's visit to Mexico, raising questions about its timing and whether it was a strategic move to showcase the government's efforts against cartels. The conversation shifts to the complexities of cartel operations, including their control over local governments and the intertwining of criminal organizations with state authorities. Grillo highlights the ongoing violence, with cartels employing brutal tactics to instill fear and maintain control, including public displays of violence reminiscent of medieval warfare. They discuss the rise of fentanyl trafficking, which has drastically increased overdose deaths in the U.S. The conversation touches on the challenges of combating this crisis, including the difficulties of enforcing border security and the inefficiencies of the U.S. and Mexican governments in addressing organized crime. Grillo emphasizes the need for comprehensive law enforcement strategies, crime prevention programs targeting youth, and addressing the economic motivations behind cartel activities. He notes the importance of understanding the social dynamics that lead young individuals to join cartels, often due to lack of opportunities and the allure of power and money. The discussion also covers the fragmented nature of cartel operations, with various factions often at odds with each other, leading to intra-cartel violence. Grillo explains how cartels can simultaneously engage in brutal tactics while also attempting to win over local populations through acts of charity, creating a complex relationship with communities. As they conclude, Grillo reflects on the potential future of organized crime in Latin America, drawing parallels with the situation in El Salvador, where the government has taken a hardline approach against gangs, leading to mass incarcerations. He warns that similar tactics might emerge in Mexico as the government struggles to regain control over powerful cartels. The episode highlights the intricate and violent landscape of cartel operations in Mexico, the challenges faced by law enforcement, and the urgent need for effective strategies to combat the growing influence of organized crime.

Katarina Szulc - Inside the Cartels' Secret Smuggling Operation in Port of Vancouver | SRS #212
Guests: Katarina Szulc
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Katarina Szulc, an investigative journalist, shares insights into her access to cartel members and the dynamics of organized crime in Mexico. She attributes her success to her genuine interest in the subject, a non-judgmental approach, and her ability to gain trust from those involved in organized crime. Szulc discusses the impact of Trump's designation of cartels as terrorist organizations, revealing that cartel members are largely unfazed, viewing it as a temporary issue tied to financial pipelines rather than a direct threat to their operations. She highlights a significant shift in cartel operations, indicating that much of the fentanyl production has moved from Mexico to Canada, where they exploit less stringent law enforcement and a vast, unmonitored border. Szulc details how the Sinaloa cartel has established labs in Canada, utilizing local organized crime networks to facilitate drug trafficking, while also emphasizing the challenges faced by Canadian law enforcement in addressing this issue. Szulc also discusses the cartels' diversification into other industries, such as agriculture and oil theft, noting that they have taken control of avocado orchards and are involved in stealing crude oil, generating billions in revenue. She explains how the cartels use propaganda, particularly through music and social media, to glamorize their lifestyle and recruit new members, often targeting impressionable youth. The conversation touches on the relationship between cartels and political figures, suggesting that corruption runs deep within the Mexican government, with cartels influencing policies that benefit their operations. Szulc expresses concern over the potential for violence if U.S. forces were to intervene in Mexico, as cartels would likely retaliate fiercely. She concludes by discussing the need for a multifaceted approach to combat cartels, emphasizing the importance of addressing the root causes of cartel influence, such as propaganda and financial pipelines, rather than merely targeting leadership figures. Szulc's work aims to shed light on the complexities of organized crime and its far-reaching implications on society.
