El Chapo is primarily known as the boss of the Sinaloa Cartel, and you don't climb the ranks by being friendly to everyone. Take a look at this riveting horror narrative that delves into some of El Chapo's most heinous torture techniques! 🔪😡🪑⛓🩸🔪😡

2010 is the time period, and a young man is getting to know the embodiment of his worst nightmare. He attempts in vain to find a sliver of compassion as he gazes into the eyes of a tormentor. His gaze descends to the right hand of the tormentor, which is holding a pair of pliers. An attending physician walks in. This is not going to end quickly. This incident occurred. It's well known, just like many of the crimes committed by the notorious Mexican cartels. After all, they frequently recorded videos, terrifying artifacts used to frighten their enemies with violent displays. We'll get back to this man's story soon, but first, we need to briefly introduce Mr. Joaqun El Chapo Guzman. As you are probably aware, banditry has a long history in Mexico.

Before there were cartels, there were revolutionaries who, despite their violence, stole from the wealthy and gave some of it to the underprivileged, according to songs and poetry. These Robin Hood-like figures claimed that unlivable conditions for the underclass were what ultimately led them to a life of crime. Although the public frequently saw them as heroes, the authorities referred to them as public menaces. After all, the authorities were frequently criminals themselves who stole from the underprivileged and kept the proceeds to themselves. One of the numerous people who praised the crimes committed by those bandits was the young El Chapo. In the warm Sinaloa evenings, he observed his father and uncles drinking alcohol while humming adoring songs about such people.

El Chapo was born on April 4, 1957, in a small town called La Tuna in the Mexican state of Sinaloa, where poverty was the norm and crime was considered a worthwhile endeavor. Like many people in Sinaloa, his father Emilio and mother Mara tried to make ends meet by farming. The money was never enough, despite how hard they worked. When food was scarce, Chapo's family was large, with two younger sisters and four younger brothers. Although they passed away when they were still young, he also had three older brothers. Such painful childhood experiences burned into El Chapos's conscience, leaving rough scar tissue that would guide some of his more dubious later decisions. His parents were both poor, and he didn't want that.

He didn't want to scrounge around for breadcrumbs all of his adult life or become a drunk parent who frequently hits his children, like his father did. Chapo has always been aware of pain. While he ought to have been playing with toys, he received a lesson in pain. However, despite still being a young child, he frequently challenged his father, incurring a heavy beating in the process. His devoted mother could only observe. Chapo left when he was still a young man, with little formal education and no knowledge of reading or writing, but with hope after learning that some of his relatives were indeed surviving. They had gold medallions dangling from their necks and drove flashy trucks. Chapo planned to capitalize on the opportunity to make money north of the border.

He has always been aware of the cunning art of hustling for cash. His hustle was always present. His mother would frequently witness him tearing up pieces of paper and pretending they were bank notes, according to a now-famous story. She once remarked, "He'd count and recount them, then tie them up in little piles." "Ever since he was little, he always had hopes." However, this is not a narrative about Mr. Guzman's ascent and decline. It concerns his behavior while earning all that money. Even though he was the apple of his mother's eye, the bullied and violent child was out for vengeance. For Chapo, the pursuit of wealth and the use of violence were inextricably linked, and he delighted in both equally. He adopted a "zero-tolerance" policy toward anyone who betrayed him when he first began to amass significant wealth in his early 20s.

He was all too aware that if you go a little bit further or demonstrate to others that you are willing to do something extreme, they will fear you. In his early years as a young gangster, Chapo made sure that everyone knew that he meant business. Chapo was skilled at taking advantage of the show of fear. If you had done something wrong to him, your head would have been chopped off. He could kill a man for practically nothing, and his heart rate would hardly change. People were killed if they crossed him. If a smuggler made a mistake, they were effectively dead. The possibility of never getting another chance if you worked for Chapo was widely known. It was zero tolerance all the way. But soon he would have to completely escalate the violence. Every criminal would. Extreme violence was about to become a requirement for the Mexican cartels.

When the hierarchical structure was altered, chaos emerged where there had previously been a semblance of order. You are aware that in the cartel world, kings come and go, and when one departs, another steps in to take his place right away. At least Chapo can find opportunities because the war on drugs is the most expensive game of whack-a-mole in criminal history. Chapo rose through the debris of dead bodies with incredible speed, to make a very long and winding story short. He participated in numerous murders, witnessed the deaths of friends, and never lost his reputation for brutality. He handled it nicely. He developed into a skilled tunnel builder, so skilled that others compared him to a human mole. Chapo became one of the wealthiest criminals in history thanks to his enormous earnings of millions upon millions of dollars.

He allegedly passed information to the DEA in order to gain favors from the politicians he had in his pocket, according to his lawyer, when he wasn't giving agents gifts that they were happy to accept, that is. Before Chapo rose to prominence in his industry, or at least was one of the leading figures, he had admired Miguel Angel Flix Gallardo, the godfather of Mexico. Gallardo, who rose to the position of "boss of bosses," stopped a great deal of bloodshed, much like the Italians had in the US. In his palaces, he organized a federation of criminals. Gallardo was influential in politics. He held more people in his possession than the All-Powerful God. The US DEA agent's work had caused the cartels to lose millions of dollars, so one day his men tortured and killed him. Gallardo was then under pressure, and he was eventually taken into custody and put in jail.

However, drug war victories are problematic because they frequently result in increased violence. A bridge typically collapses when the foundation stone is removed. Chaos exists inside power voids. With the Tijuana cartel, Chapo and his men engaged in combat. The history of Mexico entered yet another bloody era during this time. Chapo was torturing his enemies while being praised and lauded as Sinaloa's Robin Hood and Santa Claus. He continued to be viewed as a hero by some for his financial support of the development of Sinaloa. He did indeed assist the populace, but in order to maintain his position of authority, he was forced to act with a level of cruelty that occasionally even shocked him. In order to capture them, the cartels were constantly searching for their adversaries. A kidnapping provided an opportunity to reveal vital information as well as to demonstrate your extremeness.

The cartels launched a campaign of violence that would have angered the Marquis de Sade. This cycle of violence would continue for years, even while Chapo was incarcerated and earning as much as $2–4 billion annually in his prime. Chapo experienced a variety of things over the years, including some cunning prison escapes. His lover was discovered in a car trunk one day, her body bearing the letter Z for Los Zetas. The Chapo appeared to be aware that they were constantly raiding his residences. There were also many victims of torture amidst all the hiding and running. Now let's return to the first episode's story, which, while shocking to the point of incredulity, wasn't as gruesome as some other Chapo-related stories of torture. A rival cartel member by the name of Israel Rincón was shown in the video describing what he did and who he did it with. The authorities didn't have a lot of information about the video when it was released in 2008.

Martinez's face had been beaten, and it was clear that he had crossed Chapo, but the authorities didn't know much more than that. We didn't find out what happened before and after the video was shot until someone testified in court later. According to the legend, Rincón once worked for Chapo, but he decided to switch sides when a turf war broke out between Chapo and his rival cartel, the Beltran-Leyva cartel. To say that cartels had a negative opinion of this type of behavior would be an understatement. For these men, it was decided that they had broken a loyalty oath, and they received the harshest form of punishment. In the mountains of Sinaloa, where Chapo was essentially completely safe, the interrogation took place at one of his hiding places. It was claimed that Chapo, two of his hitmen, and some of his sons were present when this particular piece of viral content occurred.

Chapo had a large family, some of whom turned violent when they founded Los Chapitos. As Rincán was electrocuted by Chapo's hitmen in an effort to obtain information, they stood by and did nothing. However, that wasn't the only thing that was taken out. Chapo instructed his men to use pliers to remove Rincn's teeth. Years later, a document used in court revealed that Rincón had died. A doctor soon followed to revive Rincon so they could keep torturing him in various ways. The court was also informed that incidents of this nature were commonplace, with Chapo occasionally carrying out the beating but typically appointing his men to do so. A number of other revelations were heard in court that was so overwhelming that some jury members fainted. The stories Chapo’s told sounded like they belonged in a slasher film. Former drug dealer Edgar Galvan testified as one of the witnesses.

He mentioned a powerful individual who served as El Chapo's go-to hitman and was a key member of the Sinaloa cartel. Jose Antonio Jaguar Marrufo was the man's name. This person was skilled at torture. Anyone who knew him acknowledged his inherent killer tendencies. He had no morals, once showing up at a wedding ceremony in Mexico with his men to kidnap the bride, the bride's brother, and the groom's uncle in front of shocked onlookers who, just moments earlier, had been crying with joy. Despite not knowing the specifics of the dispute, we do know that the groom was a US citizen. All three men were later discovered dead in the bed of an abandoned pickup truck, according to the US Justice Department. Kidnapping enemies was Marrufo's specialty. It was common for their dismembered bodies to be discovered later; occasionally, he did not conceal them because he wanted to make a statement. According to a report from the Justice Department, Marrufo engaged in heinous acts of violence as well as the display of the victim in public and the posting of banners with written warnings to anyone who would oppose the Cartel.

The majority of the times, these men were questioned under Chapos' orders before being hung up like public piñatas. What's even more terrifying is that Marrufo had a special room in his home close to the US border that he soundproofed so no one could hear the screams of his victims. It was known as his Murder Room. In order to make the cleanup of the blood and other debris easier, Maruffo tiled the floor of this room and installed drains around it, according to a witness who later explained this to police. Chapo may currently be incarcerated and will undoubtedly remain there permanently, but as we previously stated, whenever one cartel leader is eliminated, a new one immediately replaces them. Ismael El Mayo Zambada's head emerged after Chapo collapsed. El Mayo has never been apprehended despite numerous million-dollar bounties. Chapo took control of the Sinaloa cartel after his last arrest. He was just as brutal as Chapo, if not more so, and the two of them worked well as a team.

The chainsaw technique, which might have made people in the Middle Ages blush, was El Mayo's preferred method of interrogation, simple enough to be used as a gang intimidation technique. Such executions frequently ended up being posted on social media, making them a spectacle of extreme violence. A chair would be tied to a victim by El Mayo's men. After that, they begin asking inquiries while a videographer is recording in the distance. When a man is asked how long he has been working with the scorpion, he responds, "One year," in one of these videos that were later posted online after the incident. He then responds, "Curiacn," when they ask him where the base is. Soon after, you hear the recognizable sound you would anticipate hearing in Canada's pine forests. In the same way that there aren't many baseball players in the rough areas of Scotland, there aren't many lumberjacks in Sinaloa's deserts. If you can, move in the opposite direction as soon as you hear the sound of a chainsaw.

They dissect the man in the video piece by piece. The arms and legs are taken off. Right after they remove a leg from him, they spray him with water. Although this was terrible behavior, cartels frequently engage in it. We don't believe the cartels have yet advanced to the point of flailing as things stand. "Never say never" is a maxim that applies to the Mexican cartels. The bottom of the barrel has been scraped so many times that there is no more bottom. Without a doubt, the cartel business continued unabated even though your TVs may no longer constantly play images and videos of Chapo. Even worse, for a while after Chapo was apprehended, more people were being killed and tortured. The cartels are still active, and in some cases, when it comes to politicians and other public servants, the asylum is still being run by lunatics. Writers about them must be some of the most courageous individuals you will ever meet, and if they are truly courageous, they will write about the links between crime and government.

They might be tortured as a result of this. The conflict between the Sinaloa boys and the ruthless Los Zetas cartel was a major cause of violence both when Chapo was alive and after he was imprisoned. Los Zetas was founded by ex-military men, but that is a long story. Even Israeli and American Special Forces have taught some of these men. They specialized in shock-and-awe techniques and had strong weapons. Initially hired as mercenaries, they soon learned they could work for themselves and become obscenely wealthy. Men joined up soon after leaving the Mexican forces—and occasionally even the US forces—and man, they were terrifying. These individuals increased the stakes in terms of torture and mass murder, and frequently bloggers and journalists were their victims. Throughout the protracted conflict between Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel and other cartel organizations, over 100 of these individuals have been brutally murdered.

The effectiveness of psychological combat was recognized by Los Zetas. They were the ones who committed such heinous acts of violence that few dared to cross them, taking cruelty to a whole new level. Guess what, though, happened when they began doing that? The other cartels began to say, "Okay, whatever you can do, we can do better."

Certified. You're definitely going to miss out.
