Documents: Feds allegedly allowed Sinaloa cartel to move cocaine into U.S. for information

Source: El Paso Times

U.S. federal agents allegedly allowed the Sinaloa drug cartel to traffic several tons of cocaine into the United States in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to court documents filed in a U.S. federal court.

The allegations are part of the defense of Vicente Zambada-Niebla, who was extradited to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges in Chicago. He is also a top lieutenant of drug kingpin Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman and the son of Ismael "Mayo" Zambada-Garcia, believed to be the brains behind the Sinaloa cartel.

The case could prove to be a bombshell on par with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Operation Fast and Furious," except that instead of U.S. guns being allowed to walk across the border, the Sinaloa cartel was allowed to bring drugs into the United States. Zambada-Niebla claims he was permitted to smuggle drugs from 2004 until his arrest in 2009.

And how about that Drug War???
Even when Cannabis???
So the DEA is all over Threatening the People, States, and Local Officials over passing Cannabis Laws to provide access..
80% of their force is about Cannabis eradication...
On the other hand which we have not seen by design..
The Feds are at it again...
Allowing Illegal Drugs into our Country to poison Americans and ruin lives..
All to get Info....
Iran Contra all over again...

As usual. Talk about freakin Eeeeeevil. Republicons. Lord Almighty.

...for where it leads.

"The men who perfected the guns-for-dope traffic moved to the Middle East as experts in the sale of sophisticated arms, protected by officials at the top in the Pentagon and CIA. Richard Armitage, now the key Pentagon official in counter-terror and covert operations is named consistently by investigators as the man who helped the drug warlords market their crops.... The most prominent name recurring in this connection is Vice President George Bush. While he was CIA director, much of these activities blossomed, but more serious charges are being made by former intelligence officers ..... who fear that their institutions have been corrupted by a few self-proclaimed patriots."

Toronto Sun, 13 August 1987

Armitage is now Deputy Secretary of State under the new Bush Jnr administration

"While we usually think of corruption in relation to police officers on the street and local prosecutors, the drug war has managed to offer incentives for corruption that reach to the very highest levels of the United States government. It is indeed ironic that the very agencies of government who are beating the drums loudest in the war on drugs have also established an infamous record of accepting assistance from and providing logistical support to some of the largest drug trafficking syndicates in the world."

Thanks for the thread, DreamSmoker.

Anyone else get the feeling that maybe we should fire everyone working for DHS and start over?

...for the last twenty-five years or so "Shipping powders back and forth / black goes south and white comes north".

and corporate media looks the other way.

but, his NWO global fascist agenda has been institutionalized and promoted by 100% of the Republicans and 40% of the Democrats.

Already with the "French connection" (actually Sicilian mafia routing Turkish heroin through Marseiles set up after Lucky Luciano helped the US in the invasion of Italy) and to help finance the Kuomintang. The history is very, very long.

I recommend:

Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia (THE classic) by Alfred McCoy.

Drug War by Dan Russell (very comprehensive treatment)

Whiteout by Cockburn and St. Clair (also excellent bibliographic treatment, episode by episode, focusing on the cover-ups and press behavior)
