wow I didn't know that drug cartels, similar to ISIS, are just deniable US proxies used for regional destabilization - you're telling me that for the first time
I learned of this from fort bragg cartel book, just so many arms just happen to end up in their hands a real mystery there 
okay I gotta actually read that book. there are a lot of leftist books that are just "endless ragebait where you learn about western atrocities that all blend together: the novel" and I try to avoid those. But maybe this rises above that.
I mean this has some of that it's has a lot about the night raids but a lot of it is real good. Connections between drugs, guns and the underworld. Something similar was this cuban mafia book the corporation and while the authors can't flat out state shit you piece together the connections. Operation Condor is prob an easy thing to people you in the right direction
All this shit is intertwined and has been for decades. Epstein/Trump also a part of this
It’s a good book but ultimately frustrating because he didn’t have the evidence to definitively put everything together. So it felt like I just wound up with a bunch of infuriating bits and pieces and the understanding that nothing would ever happen to these people doing it. (Unless one of the other sociopaths canoes them.)
We're gonna find the person responsible for setting up these drug cartels and arming them 
funny how that works
So a long time ago I used to hang around... We'll call them a very unsavory crowd. One of the people in this crowd was a very chill person who just so happened to run a cartel storehouse. His basement was floor to ceiling crates of guns, ammo, grenades, whatever you can think of marked us army. It was like something out of a movie.
I'm quite certain that none of that was smuggled into the US
