For those who don't know, Los Zetas are no joke. They were formed by ex-Mexican Special Forces soldiers and quickly became the most brutal cartel in Mexico. The fact that CJNG took them on and adopted the nickname of "Zeta Killers" speaks volumes.
Now most of their founding members are all dead or imprisoned. Plus not all of their founding members were ex-special forces if I remember correctly some were regular soldiers or cops. I believe there was one who was one of the president’s guard at that time.
@@ev6827 yes sir they are but extinct and a shell of their former selves. The Leaders of Los Zetas were former GAFE and the rest were made up of former soldiers. Osiel Cardenas who was the leader of the Gulf Cartel wanted the best possible men money could buy, and was told the only men like that were in the military, and he said that’s what he wanted then. Boom, creating Los Zetas.
My parents' town in Mexico was taken over by the Zetas. Heard plenty of horror stories of what they did. This violence hasn't stopped, I don't know if it's still the zetas or another cartel but there are still body parts found in coolers and bags on the street
@@lighterthansome3781 of course I have heard of the story of how they were formed. To this day the horrors that El Z3 or Lazcano & Z30 did were horrific & crazy.
At a drug caucus hearing June 11, senators heard testimony from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and several experts. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the caucus co-chair, began her remarks by noting: “The illicit drug trade is a business, valued at anywhere between $426 [billion] and $652 billion. Its reach is global. Its distribution is growing. Its leadership is criminal.” Those numbers come from a 2017 study by Global Financial Integrity, a Washington think tank studying illicit flows of money. The report estimated $426 billion to $652 billion in the retail value of transnational drug-trafficking crime.
My family is from Jalisco and I cannot begin to explain how frightening and frustrating it is to see absolutely nothing major being done about the CJNG. They've made it to my dad's very small hometown and it just makes me worry for my family there. It's sickening how brainwashed Mexico has become into loving the cartels.😞
Dude it’s not being brain washed, the cops out there are they’re own cartel. I myself have been shaken down by cops themselves and even witnessed them working with bandits out there. It’s deep man shit is crazy out there
I have a theory that this love for Cartels is one of the strategies made from American gov to keep Mexico destabilize. You know it's weird how suddenly corridos become popular among Mexicans just as American propaganda is embedded in Hollywood, Marvel, Disney etc.

In 2013, My ex-wife and my kids went to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. My ex-wife is from Guanajuato, I had all three of my kids there and the Mexican cartel showed up to our villa, arm to the teeth because they thought that we were smuggling drugs.

Each vid you make, you've gotten better. Your editing style, story telling, and choice of atmosphere, really paint these stories in a grounded and engaging format.
Great video, the intro gave me goosebumps at 1:54. However it is important to note that a lot of the equipment and weapons used by cartels such as Los Zetas, or CJNG are smuggled into Mexico by "gun runners," and for those who don't know, the entire purpose of the Bureau of ATF was to stop that kind of organized crime, relating to their acronym. (If you know much about the ATF's current state, they kinda abandoned that ideology.)
Yea, Operation Fast and Furious was a total mess. They were supposed to supply weapons to the Mexican Mafia to be able to get intel on cartels and take high priority ranked members in the cartels. But the weapons were never recovered and those guns ended up in the cartels hands. Makes me wonder what else is happening with the U.S. government and their activities with border patrol.
I remember I wanted to do a project in school on the drug and Narco Wars and my teacher said I'll never find enough research information and there isn't anything interesting about the subjects anyways and made me change my assignment. Still mad about it 10 years later.
In a freshman college class, I actually got to debate what would happen if el cartel tried their savagery in America. I argued the city’s police force of the college I was enrolled could clean up the cartel within a month. The technology, strategy, cooperation, and civility of a White dominated police force would overwhelm these third world savages much like they did the Indians a couple centuries ago. Anyway I was called a racist and kicked out. Would have been better for me if the teacher just said no, as in your case lmao!
my teacher let me do a report on the Contras LOL 10th grade . "TLDR, the CIA sold crack from the Contras to poor people..........the end" . she was a CLASSIC 60s hippie.... everyone knew her politics but she still taught it straight facts / text book no one gave a crap..... . still one of the best teachers i had (had ADHD bad.....) got me motivated, let me turn in work late ON OCCASION|!! (i did it, i just lost it... so i could write down the same answers in like 5 mins if i got a new sheet) . . lot better than a college prof selling his own book..... required to buy at the college bookstore to take his class got into an "argument" over lake effect snow on fort peck lake (i said its worth an additional 1 to 3 inches over the year....before the lake freezes to ice) "no no, its too small" . i asked NOAA glasgow if i was correct, and they actually make up every chart and graph id want average "lake effect" depth around the lake.... yearly totals VS 10 miles away for the last 100 years (aka, before the dam was built) ETC . gave it to the prof.... he got really mad (he knew the western side.... but not a lot about the eastern side where i come from...so wasnt the first time i corrected him) ended up getting F-ed on that "bell curve" of his for a lot of assignments . finished with a C-..... next year, new version of his book, another 300 dollars, or take that L bookstore offered 15 bucks for my PRISTINE text book (its out of date now) . . that one prof really "woke" me to the college scam LOL them gov't loans are KILLER
Last year my farm was overrun and taken over by the drug cartel see the true force and brutality of them something I’ve never seen before shocked me. I hope the government can tackle this problem to liberate us
I hope that was sarcasm. The only 2 states without high or significant travel advisories in Mexico are Campeche and Yucatán. I’d suggest those to visit if you don’t want to die or be tortured to death
This is one of the best ones you've done so far. Great imagery, voice-over and storyline. It's a borderline short film, I wouldn't go too far into the suspense pause.
Delta Force and SEAL team 6 are obviously highly trained operators with a lot of cool gear, tools and assets..But what really gave them teeth and massive operational success over the course of the GWOT was the industrial intelligence infrastructure behind them. Delta and SEALs didn’t destroy entire Al Qeada cells and rat line’s because they were best shooters and warfighters in the world; it was because JSOC could take the captured intelligence from the battlefield and process it into actionable context at the (speed of war.) JSOC is a global network that was designed to (destroy) networks and that comes from the giant analytical and support nucleus of JSOC. They asked former Delta Operator Bob Keller on a podcast what a war would like between American tier 1 SOF and the Cartels…. Bob said almost instantly- “It would be over in a week”
Yea because he's thinking and a Hollywood movie not Reality USA Special forces that best to create Hollywood movies but that's a different story when they come to reality
Better with EVERY episode. The CJNG are friggin terrifying and I knew nothing about them, and that’s not good .Thank you for the amazing storytelling and for raising awareness about an expanding threat to the US.
@@moose2143 This is one of the many reasons Americans train as much as they do and stock so much ammo. I obviously don’t know everything happening south of the border, but I know enough to know that we should be prepared for it coming north.
@@ulisesaranda3211 I hear they moved a lot of manufacturing north of the border already. California, Nevada, and Montana have been speaking quite often about it. I feel it’s better to be prepared if they drag their turf wars my way. Paranoia is just a heightened sense of reality.
I just found you last night while watching you and Donut Operator break down the fake Florida cop that escorted funerals.. Your documentaries are absolutely AMAZING! People should be knocking down your door, BEGGING to buy these from you and have you produce more. Excellent job. Thank you SO MUCH for doing these.
In the 80s, I worked undercover narcotics in the Pacific Northwest. Very small stuff compared to what you covered in this excellent mini-doc. It got really scary the higher up we worked a case. It seemed like every time we got to a certain level, our CI or witness disappeared. It was very frustrating. I-5 is a lot like I-95 out east for being a fast funnel from Mexico 🇲🇽 to Canada 🇨🇦. Small towns along the way sometimes were the drop-off warehouses for either pickup and continuation or dispersal. My baliwick was 18 wheelers. Sometimes the driver knew and sometimes not. Got really hairy a couple of times when the driver didn't believe I was a cop and thought I was hijacking his load. Waiting for my backup was sometimes a pucker factor of 9.5 out of 10 until the marked unit showed up with the reds and blues flashing. Ah, those were the days ... NOT!
Seriously, I get that it was a job... but you know that all your years fighting the "war on drugs" were a complete waste of time, manpower and tax money right? I get that it was real and terrifying, but it was so dumb to put yourself in that position. Never will the US police have the manpower or apparently even skill, to overcome even 1 cartel. And lets not forget that Mexico isn't the only place with high level cartels in the US drug trade.
Your pocket edition commentaries mixed in with your editing skills is better than anything any streaming app, or TV provider has. I am imagine whatever small team you have behind you is dynamite! In other words love your storytelling, keep it up🙌
A former mexican special forces operator (Gafe423) said the mexican special force known as GAFE has encounter (and killed) foreing military working whit cartels.
You should do one about the ongoing war between the remnants of Los Zetas (Cartel del Noreste) vs The Gulf Cartel (Cartel del Golfo). It’s been going on for 13 years now with no end in sight and it’s happening in the small border (frontera Chica) in Mexicos Tamaulipas State directly across the US Border. The warzone is located between the Cities of Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo. They go at it multiple times a week and you can hear the firefights from the US side regularly. Even Fox News and some correspondents were there one night in Roma, TX with CBP agents and Army National Guard Soldiers and they could hear the gun battle raging on the other side the camera even captured tracers flying back and forth. The news never reports it in Mexico, very little people know it’s happening unless you live on the border or have family living in that part of Mexico.
This was a greatly informative video and the added cinematography brought this video to a whole other level. It is incredible to see in our generation, the cartels start to change and the need to stay informed and educated on this matter is growing more important every day. As a Mexican-American, I feel strongly passionate to do my part in understanding the fight against cartels as both countries have suffered violence, but more towards the people of Mexico, and should partner together to solve a problem both have responsibilities in creating, for the good of the people in both countries.
Excellent well spoken. But let’s never forget who build the cartel on the first place everything was plan out by both governments with Felix Gallardo the be the way is today.
I really love your content man, some of the topics you've spoken on recently hit close to home since I'm a native Texan. And since I'm currently station overseas and I'm looking to come back home soon, it's fascinating to get a different perspective on events. Please consider doing more on this topic
I’m almost certain that i can speak on behalf of everybody when I say, PLEASE MAKE LONGER FORM VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTARIES cause we want more of your content.
I'm pretty sure the CJNG is already in the U.S. Mexican cartels have advantage over other cartels like Colombians or Cubans because of how many Mexican street gangs there is in the U.S. From Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Texas to the West Coast. Plenty of available connections that are willing to work.
I was stopped by the cartel when I was a kid with my family and they were suprisingly pleasant to us and let us on our way. The Mexican Marines later that week, caught a high profile member hiding out in the area
The quality of these videos blows my mind! Feel like this is content I would find from a major news agency, not a youtuber!!! I love the narco topic, as I live on the US Mexico border. It is fascinating to learn more about what goes on down south. Keep it up!
I’m from Rosarito Baja California, 2009 was insane. It’s the reason we moved away from there due to the constant violence and death. This video was well researched and presented, cheers.
Hi I'm also from Baja specifically Mexicali and when me and my parents were going to San Felipe we saw a dead body in a car. Pobre Mexico, esto da lastima
If you guys want to know more about the Zetas and their history, including some of their training in School of the Americas, read the book "Hijo de la Guerra" it's in Spanish but maybe you will find it translated. The book is about El Z 9, one of the founding members and special operators and his story. The writer is not 100 percent sure it is him but it's still a great book regardless.
HE WASENT SURE IF IT WAS HIM BUT HE FIND OUT LATER IT WAS HIM SAID TO BE DEAD BY THE GOVERNMENT WHEN IN REALITY HE WAS IN PRISON HE THEN CAME OUT FACINATING HIW HE HAD HIS STARS TATTED UP FOR EVERY STATE THEY CONQUERED EL COMANDANTE MELLADO
Zacatecas is crucial because you have Durango touching it from the north which is part of Sinaloa’s golden triangle/their money maker and Jalisco touching it from the south which is where mencho is based out of hence why Zacatecas so important. I have an interview with ántrax member fighting there as we speak, it’s the only interview with an ántrax member in the world.
@@theunstopablebullet Just a heads up CJNG isnt that good. Like many cartels they use Airsoft gear on certain propaganda. They don't fight the Army and marines that much because they know loosing is highly likely plus 'Grupo Elite' is never fighting the Army. Fuck cartels. Fuck CJNG.
@@JakeButAwesome You live in Mexico? We've seen a lot of CJNG activity and their counter intelligence is on point from what I've read. After the zetas dissolved they went and trained other cartels, corruption is rampant so I'm not surprised that US training and weapons have leaked over to the wrong hands.
Remember when the Taliban started getting all our equipment when we bailed out? Now imagine Cartels getting the same treatment, but either with drug money and or jerry rigging it, down to the armored APC’s. That’s what CJNG is from my understanding. It’s went from street gang cartels to being equivalent to the Mexican Army
You dont miss with the editing, the music. crazy how good of a job you do at picking the perfect stuff and put it together. you need to do a mini docu-series. These but longer
I dealt with a lot of gang members as a correctional officer, most were just afraid and looking for protection, but many of the latin gangs were pretty real.
As a mexican, it is surprising that not many americans know that many cartel leaders trained in the USA. It's common knowledge here, but most americans have no clue.
Dude....all of your videos that I've watched over the months have been great but this one feels, looks, and sounds next level. Well done! The editing and overall presentation is A+.
Crazy edits, my man. I get nervous going back to Mexico from time to time. I know the news is different on the other side of the border, but I wish people like me, who just want to live life and echarle ganas (do well), weren’t sandwiched in this horrible affair. I just want peace and they can do their own deal without me being in the crossfire. It’s sad that Americans helped the cartels get stronger, and they should be tried for sedition, especially under military law if it was during their service. It directly and indirectly hurts innocents all over the world, not just Mexico and the USA.
From the way I understand it, the American tier one units didn't train the cartels directly; rather, they helped train Mexican SF units that were supposed to bring the fight to the cartels but instead became corrupted. Either way, it's a real shitshow and I sympathize with anyone caught in the middle of it all.
@@jeffreywinters8060 same thing they said about the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, same thing they said about Contras in Nicaragua, same thing they said about TonTon Macoutes in Haiti, same thing they said about Osama Bin Laden.... When are you going to get bored of the same old story?
what an amazing short documentary..Absolutely loved the ''God Father'' type scenes of the Priest speaking while the cartel was doing what they do best. Popo's best short in my opinion.
So this is the second time this happened? Los Zetas themselves were also American trained to fight the cartels and became first body guards for the other cartels before they themselves became a cartel.
I think he’s got that part mixed up. Los Zetas, the original zetas, were trained at Fort Bragg and deserted to become an armed wing of The Gulf Cartel.
No popo got it sort of right because it was both the los zetas being trained by the special forces and a CJNG Sicario claiming that they were being trained by special forces aswell. There is an article discussing it too
The phenomenon of the US funding and training questionable people for their benefit only for said people to grow and become more dangerous then they anticipated has happened so many times its not even funny anymore the only thing sad is that the US does not learn
Yo, this puts me on the edge of my seat every time I see your videos.. they are absolutely 1000x better than any Netflix serious about drugs and cartel. Ohn Gawd!
I have worked in national security before but on issues unrelated to Mexico and Latin America. This gave me chills. Towards the end I was breathing heavily. This is terrifying.
What's terrifying? This is what our foreign policy produces for the sake of national security. We would rather have Zetas and CJNG running around instead of Zapatistas, right?
This reminds me of Ghost Recon Wildlands, La Plaga was said to be trained by Former Army and Spec Ops from, USA, Russia, Mexico, Bolivia, etc In one region you take on a Former Army Ranger. Carl Bookhart, employed by El Muro to train Sicario's
@@mr.x4036 that makes sense, if it was an Army Ranger part of the unit with the most killl/captures of HVT worldwide EVER amongst all SOF in all countries you would've never made it pass that boss!
I watched all your vids in one day the spec op ones have those sick 80s hard beats and this one has amazing Mexican music and the editing is just so good so glad I found this channel.
Very good work. I love how you started from beginning to end, explaining the rise and fall of each operation, in order. And also having real footage, instead of most people using movie clips.
This video would have been extremely useful when I had done a slideshow presentation on gangs in my CJ class. I did a presentation on the CJNG, and even though I had pretty much everything you had here, you clearly have a much better way of presenting it lol

The CJNG embodies the quote, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Happened to another smaller cartel. They wanted to clean up the mess but then started to do things....to fund themselves.
Except they were never a hero to begin with, they were just another cartel.
@@rafaelalodio5116Correct. All that crap about wanting to be good was bs
At their core they wanted to sell addictive substances to poor Americans. Morals go out the door by starting a drug cartel
@@TheOtherOne122 And Mexicans too, and for rich people as well
Great video, the intro gave me goosebumps at 1:54. However it is important to note that a lot of the equipment and weapons used by cartels such as Los Zetas, or CJNG are smuggled into Mexico by "gun runners," and for those who don't know, the entire purpose of the Bureau of ATF was to stop that kind of organized crime, relating to their acronym. (If you know much about the ATF's current state, they kinda abandoned that ideology.)
Yeah ever since GWOT those agencies missions are so muddled together these days.
Those Fast and Furious "gun runners"?
Yea, Operation Fast and Furious was a total mess. They were supposed to supply weapons to the Mexican Mafia to be able to get intel on cartels and take high priority ranked members in the cartels. But the weapons were never recovered and those guns ended up in the cartels hands. Makes me wonder what else is happening with the U.S. government and their activities with border patrol.
Yeah i recently watched a documentary on gun smugglers from the 90s. It's called "Hot guns|1997" on youtube if you're interested.
They literally never participated in that. They've never done anything they were 'created to do'. They allow this to happen, and even help.
I remember I wanted to do a project in school on the drug and Narco Wars and my teacher said I'll never find enough research information and there isn't anything interesting about the subjects anyways and made me change my assignment. Still mad about it 10 years later.
In a freshman college class, I actually got to debate what would happen if el cartel tried their savagery in America. I argued the city’s police force of the college I was enrolled could clean up the cartel within a month. The technology, strategy, cooperation, and civility of a White dominated police force would overwhelm these third world savages much like they did the Indians a couple centuries ago. Anyway I was called a racist and kicked out. Would have been better for me if the teacher just said no, as in your case lmao!
my teacher let me do a report on the Contras LOL
10th grade

"TLDR, the CIA sold crack from the Contras to poor people..........the end"

she was a CLASSIC 60s hippie.... everyone knew her politics
but she still taught it straight facts / text book
no one gave a crap.....

still one of the best teachers i had (had ADHD bad.....)
got me motivated, let me turn in work late ON OCCASION|!! (i did it, i just lost it... so i could write down the same answers in like 5 mins if i got a new sheet)
.

lot better than a college prof selling his own book..... required to buy at the college bookstore to take his class
got into an "argument" over lake effect snow on fort peck lake (i said its worth an additional 1 to 3 inches over the year....before the lake freezes to ice)
"no no, its too small"
.
i asked NOAA glasgow if i was correct, and they actually make up every chart and graph id want
average "lake effect" depth around the lake.... yearly totals VS 10 miles away for the last 100 years (aka, before the dam was built)
ETC
.
gave it to the prof.... he got really mad (he knew the western side.... but not a lot about the eastern side where i come from...so wasnt the first time i corrected him)
ended up getting F-ed on that "bell curve" of his for a lot of assignments
.
finished with a C-.....
next year, new version of his book, another 300 dollars, or take that L

Did your teacher also happen to be the school Chemist?.
@@spongebitchbobface I see what u did there
Your teacher was right.... All the documents about the CIA funding, arming, and training cartels are still classified and sealed.
Last year my farm was overrun and taken over by the drug cartel see the true force and brutality of them something I’ve never seen before shocked me. I hope the government can tackle this problem to liberate us

One of the only pages I actually watch the video as soon as I get the notification.
Thank you!
This is one of the best ones you've done so far. Great imagery, voice-over and storyline. It's a borderline short film, I wouldn't go too far into the suspense pause.
The production quality of this video was amazing, the effort put in was WELL WORTH IT!
Delta Force and SEAL team 6 are obviously highly trained operators with a lot of cool gear, tools and assets..But what really gave them teeth and massive operational success over the course of the GWOT was the industrial intelligence infrastructure behind them. Delta and SEALs didn’t destroy entire Al Qeada cells and rat line’s because they were best shooters and warfighters in the world; it was because JSOC could take the captured intelligence from the battlefield and process it into actionable context at the (speed of war.) JSOC is a global network that was designed to (destroy) networks and that comes from the giant analytical and support nucleus of JSOC.
They asked former Delta Operator Bob Keller on a podcast what a war would like between American tier 1 SOF and the Cartels…. Bob said almost instantly- “It would be over in a week”
delta force and seal team 6 are apart of JSOc
They surely would win in a week. Just like they won against Vietnam
@@gabrielbifano4256Ah yes because jsoc existed 60 years ago

Yea because he's thinking and a Hollywood movie not Reality USA Special forces that best to create Hollywood movies but that's a different story when they come to reality
Better with EVERY episode.
The CJNG are friggin terrifying and I knew nothing about them, and that’s not good .Thank you for the amazing storytelling and for raising awareness about an expanding threat to the US.

Check out the female cartels. Unbelievable, one female killed 150 people. Completely Diabolical
@@moose2143 This is one of the many reasons Americans train as much as they do and stock so much ammo. I obviously don’t know everything happening south of the border, but I know enough to know that we should be prepared for it coming north.
@@KyleKalevra cartels will never operate in the states like they do in mexico. They would never harm their biggest clients north of the border.
@@ulisesaranda3211 I hear they moved a lot of manufacturing north of the border already. California, Nevada, and Montana have been speaking quite often about it. I feel it’s better to be prepared if they drag their turf wars my way. Paranoia is just a heightened sense of reality.
I just found you last night while watching you and Donut Operator break down the fake Florida cop that escorted funerals..
Your documentaries are absolutely AMAZING! People should be knocking down your door, BEGGING to buy these from you and have you produce more.
Excellent job. Thank you SO MUCH for doing these.
In the 80s, I worked undercover narcotics in the Pacific Northwest. Very small stuff compared to what you covered in this excellent mini-doc.
It got really scary the higher up we worked a case. It seemed like every time we got to a certain level, our CI or witness disappeared.
It was very frustrating.
I-5 is a lot like I-95 out east for being a fast funnel from Mexico 🇲🇽 to Canada 🇨🇦.
Small towns along the way sometimes were the drop-off warehouses for either pickup and continuation or dispersal.
My baliwick was 18 wheelers. Sometimes the driver knew and sometimes not.
Got really hairy a couple of times when the driver didn't believe I was a cop and thought I was hijacking his load. Waiting for my backup was sometimes a pucker factor of 9.5 out of 10 until the marked unit showed up with the reds and blues flashing.
Ah, those were the days ... NOT!
Wow, you are not very good at being undercover. 🤣

Thanks for wasting everyone’s time and causing drug prices to go up. 👍🏻
Seriously, I get that it was a job... but you know that all your years fighting the "war on drugs" were a complete waste of time, manpower and tax money right? I get that it was real and terrifying, but it was so dumb to put yourself in that position. Never will the US police have the manpower or apparently even skill, to overcome even 1 cartel. And lets not forget that Mexico isn't the only place with high level cartels in the US drug trade.
Your videos get better and better with each one! This is definitely your best yet. The music, the editing, everything about it is extremely well done.
This video is by far one of the best on this subject on the entire web. And the production is truly Bad Ass! Well done!
Your pocket edition commentaries mixed in with your editing skills is better than anything any streaming app, or TV provider has. I am imagine whatever small team you have behind you is dynamite! In other words love your storytelling, keep it up🙌
A former mexican special forces operator (Gafe423) said the mexican special force known as GAFE has encounter (and killed) foreing military working whit cartels.
Oh the helicopter incident.
CIA was probably the main source of contact for this organization. Great channel bro!
Love you popo. Each episode gets better as you keep making them
Thanks so much for your support!
You should do one about the ongoing war between the remnants of Los Zetas (Cartel del Noreste) vs The Gulf Cartel (Cartel del Golfo). It’s been going on for 13 years now with no end in sight and it’s happening in the small border (frontera Chica) in Mexicos Tamaulipas State directly across the US Border. The warzone is located between the Cities of Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo. They go at it multiple times a week and you can hear the firefights from the US side regularly. Even Fox News and some correspondents were there one night in Roma, TX with CBP agents and Army National Guard Soldiers and they could hear the gun battle raging on the other side the camera even captured tracers flying back and forth. The news never reports it in Mexico, very little people know it’s happening unless you live on the border or have family living in that part of Mexico.
Those Are zetas clones, Original Zetas were eliminated by Mexican Marines
Dude it's insane just how dangerous the border has become. I've heard a grenade during those fights go off.
@@XxMIKExFAILZxX what's insane is how safe the border is in California. I live 5 miles from Garita de San Ysidro and never hear stuff like this.
I’ve driven through Nuevo Laredo, we don’t stay very long and get and stay on the cuota.
@@_audacity2722 sorry but even I don't wanna fight near California lol
This was a greatly informative video and the added cinematography brought this video to a whole other level. It is incredible to see in our generation, the cartels start to change and the need to stay informed and educated on this matter is growing more important every day. As a Mexican-American, I feel strongly passionate to do my part in understanding the fight against cartels as both countries have suffered violence, but more towards the people of Mexico, and should partner together to solve a problem both have responsibilities in creating, for the good of the people in both countries.
Excellent well spoken. But let’s never forget who build the cartel on the first place everything was plan out by both governments with Felix Gallardo the be the way is today.
I really love your content man, some of the topics you've spoken on recently hit close to home since I'm a native Texan. And since I'm currently station overseas and I'm looking to come back home soon, it's fascinating to get a different perspective on events. Please consider doing more on this topic
I’m almost certain that i can speak on behalf of everybody when I say, PLEASE MAKE LONGER FORM VIDEOS AND DOCUMENTARIES cause we want more of your content.
I think you can ask him that by going to his Patreon.
I'm pretty sure the CJNG is already in the U.S. Mexican cartels have advantage over other cartels like Colombians or Cubans because of how many Mexican street gangs there is in the U.S. From Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee, Texas to the West Coast. Plenty of available connections that are willing to work.
This is your best video yet, not to much editing (like last video) and very hype and entertaining. This and Waco are the best videos you’ve ever made
Waco was missing info. Interesting videos but he’s clearly a fed sympathizer
i personally thought this was his worst video
@@factsfacts17 right very little info on the group it self and more of sum up of mexican cartels
This is literally a documentary, amazing quality for a UA-cam video. Well done
I was stopped by the cartel when I was a kid with my family and they were suprisingly pleasant to us and let us on our way. The Mexican Marines later that week, caught a high profile member hiding out in the area
The quality of these videos blows my mind! Feel like this is content I would find from a major news agency, not a youtuber!!! I love the narco topic, as I live on the US Mexico border. It is fascinating to learn more about what goes on down south. Keep it up!
I’m from Rosarito Baja California, 2009 was insane. It’s the reason we moved away from there due to the constant violence and death. This video was well researched and presented, cheers.
Hi I'm also from Baja specifically Mexicali and when me and my parents were going to San Felipe we saw a dead body in a car. Pobre Mexico, esto da lastima
@@raulisrael7342 pero ustedes glorifican los carteles y la violencia, hasta le rinden culto a la muerte, ¿de qué se quejan entonces?
Wow, such compelling storytelling and visuals. Really felt like I was watching a movie but learned a lot at the same time. Thank you!
If you guys want to know more about the Zetas and their history, including some of their training in School of the Americas, read the book "Hijo de la Guerra" it's in Spanish but maybe you will find it translated. The book is about El Z 9, one of the founding members and special operators and his story. The writer is not 100 percent sure it is him but it's still a great book regardless.
Thank you for the recommendation
HE WASENT SURE IF IT WAS HIM BUT HE FIND OUT LATER IT WAS HIM SAID TO BE DEAD BY THE GOVERNMENT WHEN IN REALITY HE WAS IN PRISON HE THEN CAME OUT FACINATING HIW HE HAD HIS STARS TATTED UP FOR EVERY STATE THEY CONQUERED

Zacatecas is crucial because you have Durango touching it from the north which is part of Sinaloa’s golden triangle/their money maker and Jalisco touching it from the south which is where mencho is based out of hence why Zacatecas so important. I have an interview with ántrax member fighting there as we speak, it’s the only interview with an ántrax member in the world.
Love the video I had no idea there was a cartel that was so advanced it’s crazy
This is nothing, look up CJNG propaganda vids.
@@theunstopablebullet Just a heads up CJNG isnt that good.
Like many cartels they use Airsoft gear on certain propaganda.
They don't fight the Army and marines that much because they know loosing is highly likely plus 'Grupo Elite' is never fighting the Army.
Fuck cartels.
Fuck CJNG.
I knew about CJNG as a mexican, but i never actually knew they were THIS good at their job
@@JakeButAwesome You live in Mexico? We've seen a lot of CJNG activity and their counter intelligence is on point from what I've read. After the zetas dissolved they went and trained other cartels, corruption is rampant so I'm not surprised that US training and weapons have leaked over to the wrong hands.
Remember when the Taliban started getting all our equipment when we bailed out? Now imagine Cartels getting the same treatment, but either with drug money and or jerry rigging it, down to the armored APC’s. That’s what CJNG is from my understanding. It’s went from street gang cartels to being equivalent to the Mexican Army
That transition into the second song was🔥
You dont miss with the editing, the music. crazy how good of a job you do at picking the perfect stuff and put it together. you need to do a mini docu-series. These but longer

I get nervous going back to Mexico from time to time. I know the news is different on the other side of the border, but I wish people like me, who just want to live life and echarle ganas (do well), weren’t sandwiched in this horrible affair. I just want peace and they can do their own deal without me being in the crossfire.
It’s sad that Americans helped the cartels get stronger, and they should be tried for sedition, especially under military law if it was during their service. It directly and indirectly hurts innocents all over the world, not just Mexico and the USA.
From the way I understand it, the American tier one units didn't train the cartels directly; rather, they helped train Mexican SF units that were supposed to bring the fight to the cartels but instead became corrupted. Either way, it's a real shitshow and I sympathize with anyone caught in the middle of it all.

what an amazing short documentary..Absolutely loved the ''God Father'' type scenes of the Priest speaking while the cartel was doing what they do best. Popo's best short in my opinion.
So this is the second time this happened? Los Zetas themselves were also American trained to fight the cartels and became first body guards for the other cartels before they themselves became a cartel.
I think he’s got that part mixed up. Los Zetas, the original zetas, were trained at Fort Bragg and deserted to become an armed wing of The Gulf Cartel.
No popo got it sort of right because it was both the los zetas being trained by the special forces and a CJNG Sicario claiming that they were being trained by special forces aswell. There is an article discussing it too
@@lighterthansome3781 mind you not all of the zetas were special ops alot of them were just normal soldiers or policemen
the big difference is that cjng is not making the same mistake as los zetas
The phenomenon of the US funding and training questionable people for their benefit only for said people to grow and become more dangerous then they anticipated has happened so many times its not even funny anymore the only thing sad is that the US does not learn
