#Cartels
We, the US, are a big part of why these violent cartels exist. We have a lust for drugs that created a market AND we have a love of guns that gave the cartels weapons.
The very least we could do, if we aren’t going to clean up our own problems - and we should! - is take in the innocent victims. 5/5

$64 million spent by digital gambling cartels to try to buy a US Senator.
Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In competitive races, their candidates got clobbered: nine losses out of 12 called so far, including Ohio, where crypto spent $64 million and still couldn’t beat Sherrod Brown.

Perhaps proximity to Mexican cartels. 🤔

Ties hand in hand with the idea that the porous border was allowing cartels to bring in radical Jihadis

The #1 MOST important thing we need to do to fix this society is prosecute corruption with brutal finality. Scammers, grifters, cult leaders and white collar criminals need to be treated like fucking cartels.

These people need to be tried and convicted. The worst should be executed.
It’s time to remember that enforcing consequence for corruption, prosecuting authoritarians, and purging white supremacists, is what countries must do if they want to regain health, and anyone who treats such acts as unhealthy, dangerous, or uncivil has no interest in health, safety, or civility.

Even drug cartels are more subtle than this.

All the major meatpackers & ag integrators need some attention from Congress.

Remember in late '21/22, when the White House *threatened* to investigate large egg companies for behaving like cartels?

And the price of eggs, which was artificially high, dropped immediately?

Pepperidge Farm remembers
6/ Subpoena Brazilian meatpacker JBS for literally anything. For child labor, for getting fat and rich off of cattlemen, for making their workers work so fast their hands curl into claws, for persistent hygiene allegations.

Crenshaw (along with now USUN ambassador Waltz) introduced a real deal war authorization against Mexican drug cartels several years ago—helping to normalize the idea of doing GWOT on the narcos.
The media treated Crenshaw like he wasn’t a sadistic fanatic, but he was always that.

I suspect the cartels will quickly relieve these idiots of their cash, trucks, and fingertips.

Correct, it's three cartels.

Spice wars, techno-oligarch cartels… this timeline going “Dune” on us?

The crypto cartels spent over $46 million attacking Sherrod Brown. They failed.

Remember: They don't have it all figured out.

Their money isn't everything.

We have the power to crush them.

And we have a moral responsibility to do so.

Is it gonna be effective idk but it’s at least an attempt

No cartels setting the price..

Maybe ask them to investigate more than the obvious, you know, Cell Cartels, Grocery Cartels, tech cartels, the OIL AND GAS Cartels. Maybe we should make Lobbying ILLEGAL. Her own government is a crime syndicate, we don’t need them fighting for us. We need to fight them! They are disingenuous AF.

Three cartels and they collude in price fixing.

Classifying “drug cartels” as terrorist organizations is also currently ahead, another shitting proposition that will only empower immigration enforcement fascists and get weaponized in the worst way. Another big fail here.

1970 & the leaders of the Mexican drug cartels have their AGM...Sorry, I'm told it's Real Betis players in their new team suits😲
