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. The court in Chicago held a status hearing today and ordered the U.S.

government to respond to Zambada-Niebla's motion containing the allegations by Sept. 11.

The case could prove to be a bombshell on par with the ATF's "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 over a five-year period, the documents allege.

Zambada-Niebla, who worked for Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman Loera, is the son of Ismael "Mayo" Zambada-Garcia, another drug lord associated with the Sinaloa cartel.

Not that they haven't been caught with their pants down before, well it was the CIA, not the FEDs. But yes, I'm not surprised, all the coke you buy out there is shipped in by U.S. government. In part that's how they clean up black neighborhoods, crack cocaine.

You go on youtube and you search for CIA shipping cocaine, you get a ton: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=cia+shipping+cocaine&aq=f


Now on the other side of the world, ever since Afghanistan started in 2001, sales of opium in Russia increased, it's in epidemic proportions. Drugs are a weapon.

Pretty sure the CIA has been caught red handed transporting cocaine on private jets they own. This isn't new and I can tell you that the same thing will happen.

Nothing. No one will be held responsible.

No argument there. But really who doesn't know this already? It's been a running joke in America since the 80s. Remember when all those bankers went to jail? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXls9nIn2x0 As my well-informed friend Alle_Gory said, none of the CIA operatives involved in this drug ring were ever prosecuted (nor will they be).

And nothing has changed. As recent as 2007 another plane was found 5.5 tons (yes, tons) of cocaine. They have gotten more adept at covering their tracks so there are no suspects but it has their fingerprints all over it http://www.madcowprod.com/10092007.html

The war on drugs is a total scam. They inject ****ty drugs like crack into poor minority neighborhoods, place heavy fines and sentences on users of said drugs - possession of "white" drugs like cocaine are lenient by comparison. Then they jail a whole bunch of colored folk and get some free slave labor to build weapons, all the while skimming off the surface of the drug trade with Central & South America (mostly Mexico, Bolivia & Columbia) It's a frikkin sweet deal for them and they wont be giving it up anytime soon.

Now you see that is something. Ignorance is not at play here, hopelessness is the culprit.

On that topic, Michigan recently passed a medicinal marijuana referendum that won by a landslide. But now, the right-wing attorney general of the state is refusing to acknowledge the law and has said he will direct state police to raid dispensaries. He's also pushing a bill through the MI house that would force all med card holders to report their name and address to the local law enforcement. Unless it's a liberal area like Ann Arbor or Lansing, local authorities are going to ignore the state law and arrest all the med card holders. It is discouraging when the people organize enough to actually change the law, only to see the government refuse to acknowledge that new law.

Because the government doesn't respect and fear the people enough.

Fearing the people would be more accurate IMO. That's why I love V for Vendetta, great inspirational movie about people getting the power back. Can really see the comparisions of the U.S.(not by coincidence).

But it would be hard to be scared of the people, when only half of them vote. And that ones that do vote you can manipulate a lot of their opinions by flooding them with commercials.(Thanks to the Supreme Court(Also a joke now) over ruling a 100+ year old law that prohibited unlimited corporate money from going into campaigns)

[Edit]: Also, record amounts are being spent on getting people elected. Millions for some attorney general races / state supreme court.

Why would anyone fear a people that have no real power to do anything?

People have tremendous power, and have conducted coup de tat throughout history. America itself was born in such fashion. Watch V for Vendetta.

This is why drugs should be legalized. And just for the record, the American Revolution was not supported by the majority of the people, but rather occurred because of the interests of the middle and upper class land owners who were sick of being taxed by the British. In that sense, it wasn't a "people's" revolution, at least in the sense of revolutions such as the French Revolution. And besides, we all know what happens when one group of people imposes their ideals and military force on another organization... the same s**t happens again. Remember the song Won't Get Fooled Again by the Who? lyrics: "meet the old boss, same as the new boss....". If we want real change to happen, we have to fundamentally change the laws/culture upon which society adheres itself to. Unfortunately, this is progressive and probably will not happen for a long time.
