[QUOTE="ByrdC130, post: 1862454, member: 4993"] Mexico Dissolves Its FBI, Moves to Legalize Drugs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- by Chriss W. Street 1 Aug 2012 In a stunning development, President-elect Enrique Peña and his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), who won control of Mexicos 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 Mexicos 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 Mexicos sovereignty back to the money and violence of Mexicos two main drug cartels, the Sinaloa Federation and Los Zetas. Coupled with the Obama Administrations 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 PRI ruled Mexico with an iron fist for 71 years between 1929 and 2000. Although the PRI claimed they were the socialist peasants party, they operated as a corrupt political organization that siphoned off wealth from Mexicos nationalized oil industry with bribes for protecting the drug cartels that trafficked in marijuana and narcotics 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 Mexicos pervasive police corruption, and his first move as President was to form the AFI. Under the leadership of President Fox and his partys successor, President Felipe Calderón, the AFI grew over the next 11 years into a 5,000-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 President Felipe Calderón retaliated against the major drug cartel kingpins horrific bloodshed by partnering with the U.S. and Guatemala to capture Horst Walther Overdick in Guatemala, followed by the capture of Francisco Treviño and Carlos Alejandro "El Fabiruchis" Gutierrez Escobedo and the killing of Gerardo "El Guerra" Guerra Valdez in Mexico, along with the capture of José Treviño in the U.S. Two days after the election, President-elect Peña came to the U.S. to announce that he would welcome debate on the issue of drug legalization and regulation in Mexico. In an interview by PBS News Hour, President-elect Pena clearly stated: I'm in favor of opening a new debate in the strategy in the way we fight drug trafficking. It is quite clear that after several years of this fight against drug trafficking, we have more drug consumption, drug use and drug trafficking. That means we are not moving in the right direction. Things are not working. These are code words to signal the PRI intends to cut a profitable deal with the cartels to legalize drugs in exchange for collecting tax revenue on drug sales. The month before, Congressman James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) called a Congressional hearing to accuse Peña Nieto of advocating "a reversion" back to the old PRI policies of "turning a blind eye to the cartels" as long as they weren't perpetrating grisly violence. [B]President-elect Peñas announcement of the PRIs new cozy relationship with the drug cartels directly followed President Obamas announcement of his Dreamer Executive Order curtailing deportations of undocumented aliens. These actions have caused major alarm among rank-and-file border agents that the Sinaloa Federation and Los Zetas are now unrestrained to flood into the United States with drugs and violence. In a joint union press conference by the customs agents and the border patrol unions, Chris Crane, President of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council (ICE) warned: Its impossible to understand the full scope of the administrations changes, but what we are seeing so far concerns us greatly There is no burden for the alien to prove anything.[/B] [/QUOTE]
