Is an American now in charge of the CJNG — the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, one of the most powerful of cartels in Mexico? The cartel was previously operated by Nemesio Oseguera Cervar, nicknamed “El Mencho.” He died over the weekend after his crew got embroiled in a deadly gun battle with the Mexican military, prompting gang violence across the country.
Katarina Szulc, a Canadian investigative reporter, has become one of the experts on gang and cartel violence, often reporting from Mexico and Colombia through her blog Borderlands: Dispatches. She says one mystery has been resolved. El Mencho apparently had a succession plan, as his American-born stepson, Juan Carlos Valencia González , has supposedly emerged as the new leader of CJNG.
But several questions remain. For instance, will there be any internal violence within the gang — anyone seeking to carve out some territory for themselves? Does the new leader have the muscle — and the brains — to survive? Also, did the CIA play any role in Sunday’s shootout. Is it intertwined at all in CJNG? Szulc is interviewed by Clayton Morris on Redacted News.
You are ready, Anons! Now, be sure to prepare for the storm! As President Donald Trump is set to deliver the State of the Union before Congress tonight, we are witnessing a dizzy swirl of jarring activity around the world.
Our neighbor to the south, Mexico, is engaged in a brutal battle with its drug cartels. These cartels were openly running Mexican society, even using machine guns and armed vehicles to patrol their territories. But with the cartels laying siege to cities, and burning down swaths of beach towns like Puerto Vallarta while terrorizing tourists, the Mexican government had little choice but to go after the leaders behind the carnage.
Meanwhile, Iran remains on the table. Will that nation back off from pushing its nuclear arsenal, or will the United States — or Israel — opt to bomb the reprobates?
There have been some positive developments. The United States won at the Winter Olympics. as the U.S. men’s hockey team whipped Canada in overtime. Also, President Trump sidestepped another assassination attempt, this time mounted by an armed dissident shot down while attempting to enter Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate. The president was in Washington D.C. — not at home in Florida — but Secret Service still gunned down the would-be killer. Pray! Here’s more from And We Know.
Notorious Mexican drug lord El Mencho was killed in a Mexican government raid to arrest him. But was this whole operation a result of a pressure campaign from President Trump?
Glenn Beck speaks to Breitbart Cartel Chronicles co-founder Brandon Darby, who had warned Glenn about El Mencho last year. Darby shares his critical insight into the operation and what Mexico and the United States may look like going forward.
Juan O’Savin tells David “Nino” Rodriguez that Mexicans, as well as Americans living in Mexico, can expect hell over the next few weeks as the war against the cartels rages, especially in tourist zones like Puerto Vallarta. But O’Savin says the Mexican government had no choice but to act. Otherwise, the cartels would have continued to ramp up violence for years ahead.
Now, there will be a period of intense clashes, but hopefully, some light will shine through the tunnel soon. One remaining question: Will the United States enter the fray, sending the U.S. military to dig the cartels out of the rat traps they have set along our southern border? President Donald Trump has offered to help fight these fiends, but Mexico has resisted. Could that change over the weeks ahead?
O’Savin believes both Mexico and the United States would like this battle to end ahead of the 2026 World Cup. That will see the world’s soccer teams compete in staged matches in the United States, Mexico and Canada this summer from June 11 through July 19. The Mexican games will be in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey.
David “Nino” Rodriguez interviews journalist Oscar Ramirez on the youthful revolt in Mexico City, led by Gen Z protesters upset over the lax law enforcement policies of Mexico’s corrupt president — Claudia Sheinbaum.
Sheinbaum has pampered the bloody drug cartels that run roughshod over the people. The breaking point came earlier this month when the cartels assassinated Carlos Manzo, the mayor of Uruapan in the heart of avocado growing state of Michoacan. Manzo, an outspoken critic of these criminals, has been the 10th mayor assassinated since Sheinbaum took office.
Is she just hopelessly weak, or has she been bought off by the thugs?
The Democrats made trillions of dollars through money laundering schemes tied to illegal immigration and child sex trafficking. That’s the word from Jerome Corsi, longtime citizen journalist, making an appearance on Nino’s Corner, the David “Nino” Rodriguez podcast.
Corsi says much of the money came through drug cartels involved in trafficking cocaine and fentanyl, as well as child trafficking for sexual abuse as well as illegal organ harvesting. The money laundering itself, says Corsi, was done through banks in Canada, primarily in Toronto.
The Democrats who benefited will be indicted through related home mortgage fraud. We’ve already seen Letitia James, the New York Attorney General, face such fraud charges. Corsi says we will see indictments soon for U.S. Sen. Adam Schiff, the California Democrat, as well as farther down the road for U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, also a California Democrat.
Another big pot of illegal money surrounds Act Blue. The investigation of Act Blue, says Corsi, suggests the pool of illegal money could top $18 trillion. The Democrats are likely to never recover because it will be shown “they were feeding themselves through the child sex trade.” The U.S. Department of Justice will be prosecuting these crimes and has so much to investigate that it could take years before we see full justice.
Husbands, wives and families of Trump administration cabinet officials have begun moving onto military bases as protection against terrorist strikes. This comes as drug cartels attached to Venezuela and other Latin countries have come under attack for transporting fentanyl into the United States., The cartels have issued death threats, notably calling for the assassination of Pam Biondi, the U.S. Attorney General.
Here, security analyst Juan O’Savin offers his assessment of the state of affairs and the rising tensions, particularly as focuses upon Venezuela. O’Savin notes that Trump specifically called out fentanyl in his talks last week in South Korea with Communist Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
But Venezuela isn’t the only hot corner of the globe. In Sudan, terrorists are stalking women and children, selling them into slavery. O’Savin suggests that President Donald Trump might well lash out against these terrorists. O’Savin says we didn’t start that fire, but “we’re going to put together an end to that bullshit.”
In addition, look for a virtual end coming soon for mail-in ballots. They will only be available in extremely limited cases, say, members of the military serving overseas. ‘Trump is done playing games with people on all of these issues,” O’Savin tells David “Nino” Rodriguez. Otherwise, the two discuss growing indicators that suggest we could see the United States resume above-ground nuclear testing.
The [Deep State]/Democrats are fighting back against the people of this country. They are protecting the illegals, the criminals and cartels. They are showing you how much they hate America and the people of America.
The [Deep State] will become so desperate that they will push riots and war. This is all they have left.
Every step of the way, Trump is weakening the [Deep State]. Soon, they will have nothing left to fight with.
Trump has two events that he needs to win to save the Republic. It is up the Supreme Court and the people to put the plan in motion. Here’s more from the X22 Report.
As the nation entered the third day of a federal government shutdown, the Democrats and Republicans continued to squabble over who caused the disaster and how long it would last. As always, the politicians proved they could care less about the impact of the shutdown on the American people, and particularly, those Americans who risks their lives serving in our military branches.
How long will this political stunt go on? Are we talking days or weeks before there is a settlement?
