EL MENCHO KILLED Mexico Is Turning Into A War Zone After Cartel Leader El Mencho Was Killed... Now They're Threatening To Storm Hotels With U.S. Tourists Inside!

When Will the Drug Trade Be Legalized?

El Mencho literally means a person of ill repute or bad manners. The response to Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes’ death sparked widespread outrage. Burnt cars, murders, canceled flights, and a Costco set ablaze ruined the vacations for people from all over the world.

And this “bad hombre” could never have been in power if the drug game had been legalized. Just as long as narcotics remain controlled by the government instead of private means and completely available to paying adults, these actions will continue to happen.

The sick irony is that the Venezuela “drug boats” targeted fishermen for the most part. Here, we have actual criminals doing horrific deeds to avenge El Mencho’s death. For him to be a crime boss, he had to run an underground syndicate which consisted of homicides and other atrocities. None would have happened with the illicit trade turned completely legal. The barbarism and savagery would have been swallowed up whole. Because of the nature of the heavy weaponry and the ideals of starting acts of physical force, there is a panic going on in Mexico right now. Flights have been canceled, in fact the whole airport has all but been shut down for the foreseeable future.

In terms of people running everywhere and preparing to grab their belongings in fear of being accosted or killed, Americans, Britons, and others have been told to hole up in their houses and hotel rooms. This ugliness is all due to the fact that the manufacture, production, distribution, sale, and consumption of narcotics is still illegal in most parts of the world.

This is Prohibition 2.0. The experiment with doing away with alcohol proved to be a gigantic, messy, deadly failure. At the height of the ban, police officers suffered the most amount of deaths on record. If people want a substance, there’s a good chance they’re going to get it. If that means heads get chopped off, politicians get assassinated, and innocent children get caught in the crosshairs, so be it according to the cartels. And that’s another thing. Cartels rose up in rebellion against the state. They armed themselves with weapons and tactical gear in order to fight against the military. There would be no cartels with the absence of drug laws prohibiting brown and black people from becoming wealthy and others as well. At present, it is the brown people who move major weight by pumping drugs in the streets.

El Mencho is just the latest in a spate of violence that has been perpetrated against the Mexican people. In the event of a major case of anger and frustration as brought about by the cartels, these are just hiccoughs. They have been empowered by governments for years to continue the fighting, allegedly. Over the decades, multiple men have been killed or put into prison based on their actions. El Chapo who escaped on more than one occasion has been locked up for years now. With the idea of you either ending up in jail or dead still pressed into the feelings of these vermin who stalk the streets with semiautomitic rifles, they will continue to do the worst crimes. Just as long as there’s a demand, the drugs will continue to flow into countries like the United States.

As long as there are people who want to taste the satisfaction of banging heroin between their toes, or snorting cocaine up their nose, or blowing marijuana from their lungs, just to name a few, there will forever be a buildup narcopreneurs who will want to seize the moment to turn a dollar.

Such is the darkness of the zeitgeist.
