“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
The US president insisted on helping in the fight against insecurity, but the president reiterated that it’s not necessary.
President Claudia Sheinbaum ruled out any military action in Mexico by the United States government to attack organised crime, following her call with Donald Trump, but will continue to collaborate to prevent drug and arms trafficking.
At the morning press conference, which was delayed from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. due to the telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, the Mexican leader explained that she sought the call because of statements made by her counterpart.
“What prompted the call? He had stated three times that he would be interested in greater participation in security in Mexico, so I believe that under these circumstances it's always better to seek dialogue instead of only through the media or public communication; it's better to talk on the phone. Furthermore, there is a history of joint work that is already being done, so that's why we requested the call.
He was generally receptive; he insists on the participation of U.S. forces, but we always say that it's not necessary and that we are very clear in defending our territorial integrity, and that there is already collaboration that is working, so it's not needed.”
“Was military action ruled out with this call, in your opinion?” she was asked.
“Yes, yes… Let's say it was made very clear in the conversation that there is collaboration, coordination, and that we continue to work together within that framework. They can always declare something else at some point, and we will seek a new call if that's the case,” she commented, referring to the statement about the contact that Foreign Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente had with Marco Rubio.
Sheinbaum Pardo reiterated her position on the United States' argument for labeling drug traffickers as terrorists.
“We do not agree; our Constitution and our laws define terrorism in a different way. Organized crime cannot be classified as terrorism. Terrorism is directly related to actions against the government and other schemes... nor do we agree with the United States calling it terrorism and intervening in our country. We made this so clear that we amended the Constitution or added a paragraph to the Constitution stating that the Mexican people are against any interventionism.”
Sheinbaum Pardo acknowledged that Trump addressed the issue of Venezuela during this conversation, which, unlike other occasions, was very brief.
“I told him very clearly that we have a Constitution with very clear constitutional principles, and that's where the conversation ended,” she commented.
She added that they agreed that the security committee would continue working together, and that there would be a new meeting on January 22 in the United States.

It is on the table, Trump is unstoppable. How can sheunbaum say it's not on the table.
ReplyDeleteShe dont understand that these are warnings from the usa she needs to deliver full circle soon if not watch out !!!! The USA ONLY TALKS FOR SO LONG when action button is pushed theres no stoping it!!!
ReplyDeleteWho are we kidding! both governments are DEEP in the drug business. If they go after cartels they lose billions
ReplyDeleteKeep that imbecile as far away from Mexico as you can. His destruction of Venezuela coupled with the wide spread selling of guns all along the US / Mexico border is going to be tough enough on Mexico as it is. Trump is a 5X draft dodging, serial bankrupt, spoiled trust fund baby who never accomplished a win until he was a senior citizen during his stint as a game show host.
ReplyDeleteShe has been selling Sanctioned oil and giving Mexican oil to Cuba . Communist Dictator. They have been caught rigging Mexican elections since early 90's. Supporting Russia, china and Iran. Game over
ReplyDeleteThe value of the Mexican peso is completely manipulated. Oil , gold and drugs all manipulated against the peso and sanctioned communist countries. Please insert a quarter to continue playing ....
ReplyDeleteTrump showing some flex!
ReplyDeleteWell Honey bun Claudia, all the teenagers in here, want to smash you. Drugs from Mexico are coming in illegally, that give Trump motivation to get the Cartels, Trump has said, the Cartels are running Mexico. Let's also see if AMLO, comes out of his Batman cave hideout.
ReplyDeleteShe better be careful she may get picked up in the wee hours of the morning papi Trump ain’t playing games ho
ReplyDeleteI hope he starts bombing her hacienda first.
ReplyDeleteShe allows these narcos to thrive
As long as she keeps extraditing big dog narcos to the United States that should appease Trump enough.
ReplyDeleteIf there was ever a group that should be designated a terrorist group it would be Mexican cartels. They’re right up there with ISIS in my book. If they left innocent civilians alone and only butchered eachother it would be ok and the only thing to do would be to combat drugs but they fuck with normal people in sick sadistic ways so I’d have no issue if the US wanted to wipe them out. Only if they had permission from Mexico

ReplyDelete"For decades, the CIA, the Pentagon, and secret organizations like Oliver North's Enterprise have been supporting and protecting the world's biggest drug dealers.... The Contras and some of their Central American allies ... have been documented by DEA as supplying ... at least 50 percent of our national cocaine consumption. They were the main conduit to the United States for Colombian cocaine during the 1980's. The rest of the drug supply ... came from other CIA-supported groups, such as DFS (the Mexican CIA) ... other groups and/or individuals like Manual Noriega." (Ex-DEA agent Michael Levine: The Big White Lie: The CIA and the Cocaine/Crack Epidemic)http://michaellevinebooks.com/articles.html
Former Congessional Investigator Jack Blum, on the structure of CIA narco-colonialism:"For criminal organizations, participating in covert operations offers much more than money. They may get a voice in selecting the new government. They may get a government that owes them for help in coming to power. They may be able to use their connections with the United States government to enhance their political power at home and towave off the efforts of the American law enforcement community."(Prepared October 1996 statement of Jack Blum (former special counsel to the 1987 "Kerry" Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics and International Operations) for the October 1996 Senate Select Intelligence Committee on alleged CIA drug trafficking to fund Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s, Chaired by Senator Arlen Specter)
"We also became aware of deep connections between the law-enforcement community and the intelligence community. I, personally, repeatedly heard from prosecutors and people in the law-enforcement world that CIA agents were required to sit in on the debriefing of various people who were being questioned about the drug trade. They were required to be present when witnesses were being prepped for certain drug trials. At various times the intelligence community inserted itself in that legal process. I believe that that was an impropriety; that that should not have occurred."(Jack Blum, speaking before the October 1996 Senate Select Intelligence Committee on alleged CIA drug trafficking to fund Nicaraguan Contras in the 1980s, Chaired by Senator Arlen Specter).
"In my 30-year history in the Drug Enforcement Administration and related agencies, the major targets of my investigations almost invariably turned out to be working for the CIA." --Dennis Dayle, former chief of an elite DEA enforcement unit. FROM: Peter Dale Scott & Jonathan Marshall, Cocaine Politics: Drugs, Armies, and the CIA in Central America, Berkeley: U. of CA Press, 1991, pp. x-xi.
Taken alone, one CIA drug ring, that of Rafael Caro Quintero and Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo (two Contra supporters based in Guadalajara, Mexico) were known by DEA to be smuggling four tons A MONTH into the U.S. during the early Contra war. Other operations including Manuel Noriega (a CIA asset, strongman leader of Panama), John Hull (ranch owner and CIA asset, Costa Rica), Felix Rodriguez (Contra supporter, El Salvador), Juan Ramon Matta Ballesteros (Honduran Military, Contra supporter, Honduras) along with other elements of the Guatemalan and Honduran military. Cumulatively, the aforementioned CIA assets were concurrently trafficking close totwo hundred tons a year or close to 70% of total U.S. consumption. All of these CIA assets have been ascertained as being connected to CIA via public documentation and testimony. -- from the outline section of this web site: https://web.archive.org/web/20120208083401/http://ciadrugs.homestead.com/files/
Michael Levine interview
ReplyDeletehttp://ncoic.com/deajive.htm
I've been threatened throughout my life, but one of the scariest threats that I've ever had came in the form of advice from a friend of mine in DEA who is now one of the high level people in DEA. He called me during the hottest part of their investigation into me when I was criticizing the government. To fully understand what he said I need to tell a quick little story.
Sandy (Sante) Bario was DEA agent who was sent to Mexico. I considered him one of the top undercover agents in DEA. He became involved in all kinds of CIA type operations with drugs and eventually ended up being arrested while smuggling drugs. I won't even comment on whether he became corrupt or whether the whole system is so corrupt that no one can go into it without becoming corrupt.
Sandy was being held in a jail on the Texas-Mexican border when he took a bite of a peanut butter sandwich in the jail. He fell down in convulsions and went into a coma. The initial tests indicated that Sandy had been poisoned with strychnine. He died three or four weeks later and the final autopsy said death by asphyxiation on a peanut butter sandwich, he choked on the sandwich.
That's incredible.
Half the DEA agents I knew believed that he was either offed by some covert agency in the government or possibly some elements within DEA. I didn't want to believe anything like that, I couldn't believe anything like that.
Cut to several years later, and here I am under investigation, criticizing my own government, and a DEA official calls me and says, "Mike I like you. Remember a peanut butter sandwich?". "Are you kidding?", I said, and he replied, "Not at all, I'm only telling you this because I like you"' and he and I never spoke again.
"In November of 1982....secret meetings had been called between DEA, the Department of Justice and the CIA to discuss whether or not [Bolivian officials responsible for flooding our streets with cocaine, who also happened to be CIA assets could be indicted] without jeopardizing CIA programs...
ReplyDelete"If any of the CIA assets were indicted, the Agency's role in the takeover of Bolivia by drug dealers, rapists and murderers - and perhaps their role in drug dealing too - might be revealed to the American people....
"The result of the secret meetings ...was that there would be no indictment. The CIA's drug dealing assets would be permitted to continue their criminal ways unhindered by the war on drugs."
"The CIA claimed that indicting these people would irreparably damage 'important programs.'"

ANALYSIS
Written by Hector Silva -JUNE 14, 2018
Luis Posada Carriles died on May 23, 2018, in his house in Miami. He died an old man, at 92 years of age, and, according to Florida media reports, spent the last years of his life enjoying his hobby as an amateur painter.
Nearly 20 years ago, in 1997, Salvadoran and Guatemalan mercenaries Posada had trained and financed set off several bombs in Havana, Cuba. They killed an Italian tourist and would have ended the lives of dozens of preschool children had they been in an adjacent event room in the Hotel Nacional as expected the day terrorists set off one of the bombs there.
A decade before that, in 1985, Posada oversaw logistics at the Ilopango airport. This was during the Iran-Contra affair and at the start of a cocaine trafficking boom in El Salvador, a dirty business that got protection from parts of the United States government and the Salvadoran Air Force. Earlier, in 1976, another bomb exploded, this time in a Cubana de Aviación jet. The attack took 73 lives. This is, in other words, the story of a terrorist who the United States valued and helped protect. (...)
