Its almost like the U.S. government put him in that position
just like they did with DFS, what used to be called the CIA of Mexico
@@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanza yeah I watched narcos too lol
Government be doing govthangs
How?
It's almost like he was Corrupt and it has nothiong to do with U.S government.
We need a full documentary on this case! So much of it is being covered up
if the clintons and obamas were not sponsoring this rotten channel then it would be possible to watch something like that... but.
besides the biggest drug cartel of the world, THE DEA CARTEL would never let it be broadcasted anywhere.
The trial was rushed way ahead of time because Mexican media companies and US agencies were being mentioned by witnesses.
And do what with it?
If they do that, people will get seriously hurt or go “missing.”
yes, specially I'm interested to know who in the gringo side are in the Cartel's payroll.
Another fun factoid: When this guy was arrested by the DEA his interrogation was not video taped because "their video equipment was broken".
And it's extremely difficult to replace video equipment. Cameras are extraordinarily expensive, hard to find, uncommon, difficult to use, and there's a limit on storage space. Same with audio recording. Very, very, very, very, VERY tough to locate! 🙄
Must have been the same Brand name used to monitor Epstein Cell. It's notorious for accidents and randomly shutting off.
Lol we have more than half a century of history of drug related meddling in Latin America. Telling me that the US may have known about this from the get go is akin to telling me water is wet.
Just build the wall and deport them all.
A lot of US congresspeople help sending guns to Mexico for the Cartels…. Why isn’t this investigated?
Why don't you show us a reliable source?
“if you label these organizations as terrorist, you will have to start calling drug consumers in the U.S. “financiers of terrorist organizations” and “gun dealers ‘providers of material support to terrorists”
The smartest comment I’ve read
Why would we have to call drug consumers that though?
Thats a good point, if the drug war continues, or if new found support for continued illegalization of drugs is found by way of some emergency, then that will probably be the next logical step in the governmental gas light.
And all Mexican citizens could apply for refugee status immigration
Once you find out Obama gave the cartels weaponry you'll turn the other cheek though. The vote blue no matter who crowd seems to ignore things that are not plastered on government approved news stations.
How else will the U. S. know when their product will arrive?! The U. S. has been in the drug game for decades.
💯👌
Both Mexico and the United States are complicit in maintaining drug trafficking. If the United States had not been interested in maintaining a drug market, it would have intervened years ago. But that same market has helped them get out of economic crises. For years, several journalists in Mexico mentioned the connection between Garcia Luna and the drug cartel, and even made honorable mentions of him in the United States. It is difficult to think that the situation will change, no matter if they imprison El Chapo or his son, or the Mencho or anyone else, if white-collar criminals operate, move the media, or simply remain unpunished like the HSBC money laundering to the drug cartel.
Americans are lucky to have the choice of whether or not to become a drug addict. On the contrary, dealing with the drug traffickers in Mexico ends up sentencing many innocent people, whether they are kidnapped and forced to work for the drug traffickers, or are charged a flat fee in their businesses. Very sad that the right hand of former president Felipe Calderon was the one who gave the orders for all this to happen
USA needs to stop selling arms and buy drugs!! we need NO INTERVENTION in our country
They should just make it legal. And have the proper business transactions put in place. Taxation etc. There is obviously a high demand for supply so ….. and then let people who abuse the drug and become addicted deteriorate their life away … I don’t know what to tell ya … it’s beyond evil the things that happen when it comes to this matter.
Russia 🇷🇺 and Mexico 🇲🇽 are allies in war!! USA can’t stop the drug war son!!! USA 🇺🇸 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 aint God mijo
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Colombia, Mexico all played a part in evermore illegal drugs entering our country. CIA, DEA, DHS and U.S. military are all involved in ny opinion.
@@Sunshine-lo6vd Exactly, its a very complex issue, make drugs legal won´t guarantee a better society for sure.
I don't think he was the only one, or that there were no bad guys on the US side.
There arent some bad guys on the "US side", its a racket from its origin as had to have been the case during prohibition.
they can never claim a "win" on the "war on drugs " It's unwinnable
especially the ones who are supposed to protect just do the exact fucking opposite
yep, and the CIA are not exactly being DEA of the world, they're pushing the drugs
@@holdmybeer Its almost like, they're doing this all to fund their dirty operations?? read more.
cuz people want drugs !! basic economics.
@@emcee1337 Creep. 🤢 Stop worshiping me
This is actually insane. This is a great example of not putting your trust in the government. Such a shame.
The mexican government wants the cause of this disease, just the people who suffer the consequences
That will never work. You can trust your government, but it doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to stop watching them
Not trusting your government is why the United States in the situation it is . With hyper toxic individualism, crappy healthcare ,gun laws and election laws . Like the previous commenter trust your government but always make sure they’re watched.
USA Feds gov n Mexican cartels both play by no rules. You still put your trust in the gov?
We're talking about Mexico, almost all law enforcement in Mexico is corrupt and take bribes.
We didn't just lose against cartels. We gave them weapons and more business...
that's right, ninety percent of guns used by Mexican cartels are legally purchased in the United States, using 'straw buyers' at any of the thousands of gun shops, then the guns are smuggled across the U.S. border into Mexico. The same thing has been happening in Canada, illegal guns from the U.S. cross our border every day, but nowhere near the scale as Mexico. imo, Mexico is a failed state, based on cartel violence and 'civil war' like numbers of gun deaths in the country, with no end in sight.
Obama GIVE HIM DIRECTLY Billions of Dollars for plan Merida, despite knowing who Garcia Luna was. The real drug lords resides on the Congress of the United States.
That's suicide move
@@widodoakrom3938 Clearly no one can kill America... Only America can kill America...🤔
Now we need Felipe Calderon (genaro garcia luna's boss) to be held accountable!
💯
We also need Salvador Cien Fuegos to be judged!
and all the gringos that are in to the cartel's payroll.
Salinas was the real scumbag …
@@jairocampos7831 we need an explanation for why Mexico is covering Cienfuegos
Of course the DEA, CIA, and FBI knew!!!
MOSSAD
It's not like the U.S. is run by saints.
What’s wild is how america is able to blend in any situation and send someone in it ..
Cartel and the US government are a team! Don’t be fooled!
Garcia Luna was buddies with the FBI, CIA and Hillary Clinton’s state department. Senators like linsey graham were kicking back with him. He was a champion of the neo-liberal governments of Felipe Calderon and Enrique Peña Nieto (both of whom have fled and are residing in Spain). It’s telling how the American media didn’t cover it as much as the Mexican media was covering considering he is the architect of the “war on drugs”.
You are completely right!
Those guys live now in my country? What a sick world 🤡
@@juancorzo5081 There's a long list of former Mexican presidents and politicians who all end up fleeing or moving to Spain.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
He is NOT The architect
He is just the CHALAN
😂😂😂
Sadly when “oneself” becomes part of the “trash pile” that they fought so rigorously to defend aka Mexico’s last couple presidents they must now flee to the next “trash dumpster” hence your country haha good luck buddy thanks for handling the trash
Another one that no one mentions the posibility of US Statesman involved with the drug trafficking in some way. This would be an institutional issue that no one is ready to have a conversation.
Of course there must be complicity with an US Statesman, it's just that it doesn't fit the narrative that corruption magically appears in the USA in the form of foreign criminals. Somehow tons of substances cross the border of the most militarized country in the world every day and no one seems to ask themselves how, they suppose it is 100% done by LatinAmericans. It's absurd.
The policy historically has always been to favor one cartel, the Sinaloa, in exchange for keeping the violence down. Aside from legalizing drugs, it’s probably the best policy, and is still probably what the realistic US people advocate. But the State Department, CIA, FBI, Border Patrol are not always working together, or know what the other is doing, so the US is usually doing all kinds of mixed up stuff in its Mexican relationship
WATCH NEXT: How Mexican Drug Cartels Smuggle Thousands of Guns From The US - czcams.com/video/Af9ToSsNCEk/video.html
Well if anyone was wondering why our southern border is/was never secured, you can stop wondering now. Money is the reason for that as usual, I truly hate to make assumptions but with all the surveillance capabilities and investigative tools that the three letter agencies have at hand(some mentioned in this report directly working hand in hand with that man) one has to make the assumption that money was and is still changing hands from the Cartels and Human Traffickers to politicians and members of those agencies.
yes. AMERICAN POLITICIANS AND THE DEA CARTEL.
This is so mind blowing because it makes so much sense 😮🤯
Why we should care for you're border,Mexico should watch that no gun cross the border to the south.
@@HectorHernandez-kj2so, If either of our Countries governments had any true concerns over the safety and well being of its citizens, the Mexico/United States border would have been made impassable, They've(Mexico/United States Governments) known about illegal crossings, smuggling of drugs, weapons and humans for decades now, both countries are fully capable and have been, of making secure the border, but all they do is talk about the problem and at the very most throw poorly sticking bandaids at it.
Everybody knows that drug trafficking and corruption only happens in Mexico. After the drugs cross the border, the drugs are quantum teletransported to alll the 50 states without the involvement of any US citizen, no corruption and without the knowledge of the DEA or FBI. That is a fact. God Bless America!
“Congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs”
All of them?
@@thehunzz only the ones that participated
They can legalize it. They don't because of the big pharma in the US, otherwise they would starve organized crime because it wouldn't be a crime anymore... Simple fix
Nice 👌🏾
I wish Vice News would do a whole documentary about the corruption, U.S., Mexico, Colombia, Bolivia and more in our so called war on drugs.
not safe
Just legalize it and we would not have a problem.
Or at least decriminalize it
most people just can't comprehend this policy, unfortunately 😢
It should have been legalized years ago, absolutely. But you're a bit naive if you think that alone will solve the problem.
@@jayforeman5299 It would be the biggest step towards this solving the cartel/drug addiction problem.
Decriminalization won't work. We need to source and tax unadulterated drugs for the ppl so the black market has no legs to stand on. Also, giving the ppl access to clean forms of what they seek so they're not geting stuff that rots their limbs or is cut with lethal additives.
Its simple, build up a significant rehab infrastructure prior to legalization and let ppl choose. Yes many already addicted individuals will keep using but after a couple decades with the prominence of newer generations that made better choices based on education the drug problems will be reduced to a marginal issue in society.@@talesfromtheleashexpatdogl1426
Vice News! Again, you didn't disappoint. Here in Mexico no large news organization is exploring other perspectives of the news.
If drugs were legalized guys like this couldn't get a cut of all the shady business.
So true. Guess that's why they're illegal.
Until the drugs are brought to you by Pfizer
So true. The organized crime would be starved...
actually not true, they would find other ways to make money
guys like this = The goverment
I need a documentary on this story ASAP.
You need a real life instead of living in the cesspool online
Americans are such doofuses ... I can't believe they think their government isn't corrupt.. the DEA has always been in bed with cartels..
How do you think the cartel has USA military-grade guns and ammo? how do you think cartels keep buying ammo from USA?
you doofus are incredible full of sht...
Gringos, more than anyone know destabilising Latin America is where the money is.
pretty true, it's sad that most american deny or deflect blame onto other governments instead of their own, the United states government is not exactly a saint
@@KGBSpyGeorgeCostanza us is part of the problem but it takes two to tango
@@jonahcombs451 exactly my friend
Mexico isn’t Latin American
@@Mr.California he wasn't saying mexico as it is Latin America, he was describing all of Latin America from Guatemals to Costa Rica
Someone in the us gov helped him too
What about the law enforcement in this side of the border? Someone or many someones has to be getting paid off in the border patrol for the literal tons of drugs that get smuggled across.
that's a big possibility, some don't have as much pride as some officers do in law enforcement, some want a quick buck including the CIA
No thats not necessarily true but its most likely true though and has proven to be true in many instances.....govt beuracracy isnt the exemplar of administrative competence.
Alot of border patrol is definitely on their payroll we see all that time down here
IMPOSSIBLE!!! there are big names within!!! even donald trompas is in there!!!
american drug lords are not land workers, but big land owners, politicians, MILITARY INDUSTRY ENTREPENEURS and of course, wall street nobles.
no doubt the level of corruption goes all the way up the DEA chain of command
The CIA program on Afghan heroine shipped to Mexico for processing to fund the Afghan War, we seen this rodeo before - he is the Mexican version of Noriega

It generally doesn't end well when you declare war on a noun.
The "War of Drugs" was no exception.

it does end well. while ago people declared war on feudalism. where is it now.
Isn’t this what Netflix’s series “El Chapo” showed? I don’t think they ever actually named who the actor was supposed to be in real life, but it shows how Chapo and a high Mexican government official would be in contact and work together.
The character condrado appears to be this guy.
It is quite possible. Since drugs and corruption are so high ranking in Mexican government, it could be him.
...and work together with big entrepeneurs, politicians and all american "drug enforcement" agencies and "national security".
its sometimes insane to see the f gringos blaming it all on latinamerica... as if the f drugs got legs to run after every gringo to break into their bodies and turn them all into addicts, crazy nonsense idiotic mind of the supremacist drugaddicts of the one and only nation blessed by god itself.
im laughing and laughing... of shame on you, "americans"
@Mr G Conrado sol,,sol means 🌞,,Garcia Luna,luna means 🌙,,they play a little with the names..
@@HectorHernandez-kj2so I watched the whole series in India. Appears as though the real beneficiaries are always the politicians. So called cartel bosses are disposable errand boys as they operate at the mercy of the government.
he's not corrupt, he's doing exactly what he needed to do.
you guys really think that the US would place somebody like him to truly eradicate drugs?
destabilize and weak Mexico is good for the the US because it brings in desperate Latino who would work for nothing
Thank you vice. It's a shame that most news is just another industry which only seems to use the truth if profitable. Keep up the good work and don't let the liars get the best of you. Well done 😊
Damn. I feel completely opposite. I couldn’t finish watching it. First they bring up a reporter who has been “watching closely” says some statements without any concrete evidence to believe. Second they put up these big headlines but they are all from vice. What they do well that I was able to detect is that they talk with this tone and say a whole lot without saying much 😂 idk man my opinion on how I see things
@@momentsaremadenow3869 my friend, I guess because you haven’t been watching a lot of this, look out for Genaro Garcia Luna, you probably be surprised, and if you dig more, then you will understand why this video make sense.
The war on drugs should be transformed to help on mental illness.
But that's not as profitable for bureaucrats.
Are this bureaucrats in the room with us right now?
The fact that we get free videos on CZcams by VICE Nes is truly a gift. 👍👍👍
No major US English network gave this case the spotlight it deserved. US hiding something? 👀
CUBA.. MIAMI... JIUS
It's as if the U.S. government does not want the cartels to go away.
They are the real threat for USA security more than china and Russia if many Americans become addicted more guns violence will be erupted in USA

This explains why Graham is all up in arms against the Gulf Cartel.
Thanks for giving attention to the matter!!
I heard about this... sickening...
Greed. Smh.
How did they discover him out? Someone didn’t get paid enough & heads are going to rolled
A top cartel official spoke about him in court. Apparently, he got a few or plenty of suitcases filled with 3 mil USD, then later on they found him in Dallas, shipped him off to idk NY to face the federal judge there and boom. Just only one guy, pretty sure there's plenty like him cuz the USD goes a real long way in Mexico, could buy like a rancho for like idk 60k, don't gotta pay monthly taxes either, send all the kids to college, basically everything they could imagine in Mexico lol
@@inthendwealldie thanks for info.
This is depressing. We really can't trust anyone in this world :(
I know... But we must keep our heads up there are. Good ppl out there
Of course. Happens everywhere.
kinda like pharmaceutical employees being in government positions here in the states
A "win"? I'm in México right now, and don't see any difference in cartel activity. Maybe we're more than neighboring countries, perhaps we're partners in business!
Thank you
Great report.
Good job Michael
The drug war will never stop
never, cuz drug addiction among americans is unstoppable
as intended. the 'war on drugs' is a business, and very profitable for not only the cartels, but law enforcement agencies, the prison industrial complex, and the many ancillary businesses that are involved in the drug war fiasco.
Incredible We need True Justice
thank you for keepin it short
Interesting news. Thanks VICE
It's almost like it's all one big racket and the drug game is the game they like to play
Drugs, Weapons, or Humans, it makes no difference, if there is money to be made by turning a blind eye, rest assured that some politician/s bank account/s are growing because of it 😉
It almost like they want the drug to come in.
You cannot stop what can't be stopped.......but you can try to control it
As a person of Mexican descent, what cartel violence has done to the people absolutely disgusts me and is heartbreaking. It’s not all the fault of the cartel, though. Half of the blame lies with the American drug using public demanding illicit drugs. If we are going to be punitive to the supplier, we must be punitive to the source of the demand.
So far as i know drugs are illegal in Usa and can get you in prison for a very very long time. I dont understand the reasoning behind ''it's not all the fault of the cartal'' Most of it is. Stop washing the hands of the cartels.
What an insane thing to say, it’s not my fault I got you addicted to drugs
Bullshit, the crux of the issue is Mexico’s systemic corruption through all levels of government. If Mexico was serious about fixing the issue, they would enact draconian drug laws much in the same way as Singapore and Japan. Their close proximity to the golden triangle and subsequent drug laws could serve as a blueprint for Mexico’s own drug policy.
Punishment for the supplier; punishment for the user!
This is not highest, just a peon for the top one that was Calderon, the problem to get Calderon is that high Profile Politicians are also involved, so if Calderon falls we might be able to see some American Politician’s names as well
Please do more on this story and Salvador Cienfuegos too.
I love vice acts surprised or is big news when they all knew
US responsible for 95% of this 😂
-So... we pin this on Jeffrey Epstein. Any objections?
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
What No Way!! I’m appalled..
Of course how else can the amount of drugs come into America without assistance. And others had to know a out it. I really think I has to do with all drug money law enforcement they all get their share.
I don’t think other countries care nearly as much about the “War on Drugs” as US does.
Thanks Vice News
This is honestly not even a surprise
Uh oh, a VICE News journalist fell sick! I wonder what could've possibly happened?!
First
This upload was quick asf just seen the story about it on my feed then boom
Why does the title not mention that he was the ex-secretary for defense in Mexico?

This guy also worked with the Bush administration from 2006 onward. Democrats and Republicans obey the same corporate and military overlords that fund their campaigns.
Democrats and republics! With money anyone works for you!
my goodness, these kind of comments piss me off, you're a one sided naive patriot still stuck on thinking Republicans are a preaching choir, they're liars like the Democrats, Reagan was a republican during the Iran-Contra affair, there was a whole crack epidemic
good news and info
Ohhh "they" knew 🙄😳🤔🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
America, knew
why am I not surprised
The U.S: Noriega was a mistake we would never do that again.
Also the U.S:
How about convicting the Pharmaceutical company owners for their contribution to the drug problems in America?
Only 3&1/2 minutes??? Where’s the full doc…waiting
Y’all act surprised when the US is the one pulling the strings
shocker...
You don’t say…. They are the real capos.
Now do one on the operation fast and furious on how cartels get their guns
Are we surprised people? I hope not.
is this even surprising?
it shouldn't be.
ray charles saw this coming a mile away lolol.
Tell us something we didn’t know
Well with the fast and furious operation that took place during the time Garcia Luna was in power allowed the cartels to aquire weapons so the U.S. government is responsible in that part,the weapons had sensor that allowed them to be traced,but all that the cartels did was to just remove the sensors,that quite a stupid move.
Well I think we some american politicions in jail to set a good example, like Barack Obama,Hilary Clinton,etc.who were cozy with this guy.
Oh that’s really surprising….. Lol. America is a company not country.
Well this is the least surprising video I think I have ever seen.
dude was an asset. plain and simple.
REALLY GOOD VIDEO. 👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
When is going to happen something like this in US, what happen to all the drug that’s “smuggling”?
