The housing bubble was caused by corrupt politicians, investment bankers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac managers. The nation’s economic woes are the direct result of corrupt politicians without any vision beyond their reflection in a mirror. Other problems in the news (e.g., fights at MacDonald’s, police abuse, union thug violence, etc…) can be attributed to corrupt individuals whose levels of culture and education are not much more elevated than a domesticated dog.
A previous blog outlined the suspicious (and I maintain duplicitous) purpose behind Operation Fast and Furious. The Holder Justice Department approved operation successfully allowed a US interagency group headed by the ATF to provide thousands of weapons to the Mexican Drug Cartels. They are being traced to numerous murders, including US federal agents. Did our authorities care about the risk of collateral damage? The succinct answer is NO!
The El Paso Times has broken a story that can also trace its roots to misguided and corrupt officials who care little, if at all, for its adverse operational consequences on US citizens. The DEA is allegedly allowing criminals to import and distribute cocaine in the US in return for information (???).
When law enforcement begins to break American laws it is no longer law enforcement; it is a corrupt police-state oppressor. Simply put, the agency heads and the operational participants should be tried as accomplices in the crimes they condone and overlook. They want our respect but only deserve our derision. It is time that we demand that no politician or law enforcement official can be above the law or subject to immunity from prosecution.

Feds allegedly allowed Sinaloa cartel to move cocaine into U.S. for information

U.S. federal agents allegedly allowed the Sinaloa drug cartel to traffic several tons of cocaine into the United States in exchange for information about rival cartels, according to court documents filed in a U.S. federal court.
The allegations are part of the defense of Vicente Zambada-Niebla, who was extradited to the United States to face drug-trafficking charges in Chicago. He is also a top lieutenant of drug kingpin Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman and the son of Ismael "Mayo" Zambada-Garcia, believed to be the brains behind the Sinaloa cartel.
The case could prove to be a bombshell on par with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Operation Fast and Furious," except that instead of U.S. guns being allowed to walk across the border, the Sinaloa cartel was allowed to bring drugs into the United States. Zambada-Niebla claims he was permitted to smuggle drugs from 2004 until his arrest in 2009.
According to the court documents, Mexican lawyer Humberto Loya-Castro, another high-level Sinaloa cartel leader, had his 1995 U.S. drug-trafficking case dismissed in 2008 after serving as an informant for 10 years for the U.S. government.
Guzman and the Zambadas allegedly provided agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration, FBI and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement with information about other Mexican drug traffickers through Loya-Castro.
"Loya himself continued his drug trafficking activities with the knowledge of the United States government without being arrested or prosecuted," the court documents state.
You be the judge.
Strength and Honor.
