President George Bush wanted to show America what crack cocaine looked like at his first Oval Office address on Sept 5, 1989
Donald Trump has offered to intervene in Mexico, i.e. "to go after the Drug Cartels" following "the brutal killing of an American family in Mexico". The Mexican president has turned down Trump's generous offer.
In a recent interview, President Trump confirmed that his administration is now considering categorizing "drug cartels" as "terrorists", akin to Al Qaeda (with the exception that they are "Catholic terrorists").
They would henceforth be designated by Washington as "foreign terrorist organizations".
What is the intent?
Create a justification for US-led "counterterrorism" (military) operations inside Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America?
Extend the "War on Terrorism" to Latin America? "Responsibility to Protect" (R2P). Go after the "Narco-terrorists".
The unspoken truth is:1. Al Qaeda and its related terrorist organizations (including ISIS) in the Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia are creations of the CIA.
2. The CIA protects the multibillion dollar global drug trade as well as the Mexican drug cartels. Moreover, it is estimated that 300 billion dollars (annually) worth of drug money is routinely laundered in casinos across America including Las Vegas and Atlantic City... As well as in Macau. Guess who is the World's richest casino owner.
3. Both American and Latin American politicians are known to have ties to the drug trade.
Flash back to the 1990s: George H. W. Bush, the dad of Bush Junior had developed close personal ties with
Carlos Salinas de Gortari (former president of Mexico) and his dad
Raul Salinas Lozano who, according to the
Dallas Morning News (February 27, 1997) was "a leading figure in narcotics dealings that also involved his son,
Raul Salinas de Gortari... And Raul was an intimo amigo of
Jeb Bush, (former Governor of Florida) and the brother of George W, Bush.
