Mexico Dissolves Their FBI And Moves To Legalize Drugs

"President-elect Enrique Pena and his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) who won control of Mexico's government on July 1st, moved to dissolve the Agencia Federal de Investigación (AFI). Modeled after the United States FBI, the AFI was founded in 2001 to crack down on Mexico's pervasive government corruption and drug trafficking. With rival drug cartels murdering between 47,500 to 67,000 Mexicans over the last six years, the move by the PRI represents the total surrender of Mexico's sovereignty back to the money and violence of Mexico's two main drug cartels, the Sinaloa Federation and Los Zetas. Coupled with the Obama Administration's "Dreamer" Executive Order curtailing deportations of illegal aliens, a hands-off policy on both sides of the border foreshadows a huge increase in "narco-trafficking" violence and corruption flooding into the United States.

The Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) ruled Mexico with an iron fist for 71 years between 1929 and 2000. Although the PRI claimed they were the socialist peasant's party, they operated as a corrupt political organization that siphoned off wealth from Mexico's nationalized oil industry with extracted bribes for protecting the drug cartels that trafficked in marijuana and narcotics distribution into the United States. As a glaring example of the level of official PRI corruption, in 1982 the oil workers' union donated a $2 million house as a "gift" to President López Portillo. Mexicans often joke: "Our Presidents are elected as millionaires, but they leave office as billionaires."

But on December 1, 2000, Vicente Fox the former Chief Executive of Coca-Cola in Mexico and founder of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) was elected President of Mexico. Mr. Fox ran on a platform of reforming Mexico's pervasive police corruption and his first move as President was to form the AFI. Under the leadership of President Fox and his party's successor, President Felipe Calderón, the AFI grew over the next 11 years into a 5000 member force with an international reputation as a premier drug enforcement agency. The U.S. provided extensive equipment and training to the AFI. The AFI reciprocated by capturing numerous drug kingpins and extraditing them to face criminal prosecution for murder and drug distribution in the U.S.

Over the first six months of 2012, the Sinaloa Federation and Los Zetas carried out a vicious war across Mexico to expand their areas of operations and intimidate the local population. Both cartels engaged in "information operations campaigns" by displaying large numbers of dismembered bodies in public places. The shock value of body dumps was designed to broadcast that the cartels are the dominant authority in Mexico.

The AFI under the President Felipe Calderón retaliated against the major drug cartel kingpins' horrific blood-shed by partnering with the U.S. and Guatemala to capture Horst Walther Overdick in Guatemala, followed by the capture of Francisco Trevino and Carlos Alejandro "El Fabiruchis" Gutierrez Escobedo and the killing of Gerardo "El Guerra" Guerra Valdez in Mexico, along with the capture of Jose Trevino in the U.S."

It's about time. The sooner the state stops prohibiting goods and services (and creating black markets as a direct result), the sooner the violence related to the trade will decline. I only wonder how long it will take here in the US...
