The drug war is alive and well.
35 people got caught up by federal authorities for moving a massive amount of methamphetamine heroin and fentanyl into the Oregon area and from there the distribution Network started to reach out across the states.
We are talking about a major cartel Network that operated for many years and has multiple redundancies. All of these individuals are likely replaced and the pipeline is reopened as we speak.
Ever since the legalization of cannabis and the massive amount of money going into the states and criminal system to focus truly on the major players of the hard drug importation distribution has finally taken place.
I really don't like reporting on cannabis arrest and people being harassed over that however this is a completely different story and one of the major reasons why Portland is full of addiction.
And the funds from this continually grow and fund the narco terrorism war down in Mexico with the amount of murder kidnapping and narco terrorism has absolutely exploded for the past 20 years.
Mexico is very hard place. Harder still when you decide to have long-standing wars and fights for cash flow.
During its investigation, law enforcement seized from the Diaz DTO over 260 pounds of methamphetamine, 16 pounds of heroin, 6 pounds of fentanyl in the form of 4000 fentanyl pills, 76 firearms, 1 grenade, multiple vehicles, and more than $760,000 in cash used to facilitate drug transactions.
What really is the true story here we have 76 firearms recovered which denotes a serious investment into firepower to send back to fuel the drug war.
260 lb of methamphetamines... And that was only the amount that they were able to capture in the course of the investigation..
So we are looking at them operating for 2 years and moving a massive amount more than that.
This suggests to me the cartels are extremely active in the Oregon area and along the west coast shipping in massive quantities of drugs that weren't normally carried because of the amount of cannabis needed to fuel the market.
With cannabis being legal that huge amount of space can be packed full of hard drugs reducing the signatures and making it harder for law enforcement to discover.
However you can't keep a secret like this for long from law enforcement's eye.
and it looks like they were able to successfully track identifying and work a successful case on all these individuals.
With margins being so short and the price so high here in the United States on the end use a market the desperation of the cartels to survive.
Whereas on other social media platforms I would be able to get all sorts of censorship for saying things like methamphetamines were at about $60 for a quarter ounce. Which would make it $240 for an ounce of methamphetamine. Which is a ridiculously cheap price considering that used to be eight times as high. Yes you were lucky if you were able to get 3.5 grams for that $240. Which would be an eighth of an ounce.
Well we still haven't delved into the massive amount of fentanyl which by their reports was only able to recover 6 lb of it as well as 16 lb of heroin that was recovered solely in this instance.
That is 22 lb of opiates and equally that fentanyl is probably more than 10 times the potency or 100 times the potency I forget exactly how deep all that goes.
We are looking at the major distributors of pain and misery here in the Oregon area.
Fueling addiction rates that are skyrocketing especially with the desperation and free money being handed out.
With this I would have to say a transportation routes have taken a huge amount of hits and the infrastructure have as well.
As well as the massive amount of firearms recovered we are looking at more than two per individual arrested.
My feeling is thatmost of those firearms were for smuggling into Mexico to fuel the narco terrorism war that is gripped Mexico for 20 years and shows absolutely no signs of Americans laying off the hard drugs.
With the change in the laws regarding cannabis it has dried up that once lucrative Cash cow and forced traffickers to only work with the hard drugs especially methamphetamines. China has open trade routes and is willing to ship fentanyl as well as fentanyl precursor chemicals for manufacturer in Mexico right along with processing heroin.
Mexico has the cocaine connection however the international drug ring centers around China as the precursor chemical main distributor of the world.
That's right China doesn't care and will be state sponsored by The people's liberation army of China to distribute exactly these chemicals to the cartels so they can ship unlimited amounts of poison onto America's streets..
As well as the rest of the world.
While this all may have began from Pablo Escobar it is now evolved into a completely different animal because the true winner of this happens to be the company's producing precursor chemicals. That's right we have an entire beast that is only growing and shedding its skin.
