  • On Friday December 2nd 2022 chaos erupts in the gulf of Mexico, as one of the world’s most notorious criminal underworlds, becomes rivaled, by an up and coming, hyper territorial cartel, founded, by a group of former Mexican special forces operators. The organization at it’s core functions as a criminal version of SOCOM. And it’s rumored that various members of American special operations units, including Delta Force, were once hired to train this cartels new recruits. This is the true story of the special ops cartel known as CJNG- and their fight, to take over various access routes to the United States.
    SEAL Team 6, officially known as United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), and Delta Force, officially known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), are the most highly trained elite forces in the US military. Both of these units are alleged to have been involved with the consulting of CJNG. Although it's unclear at what stage in the Narco Wars these events took place.

    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.

      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.

    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.

Story as old as time, no different than the beginning of the “War” on drugs that had our shady government both importing thousands of kilos to our own country and distributing firepower down in South America (purportedly for “anti-communism” efforts but if you believe that’s where it ended then lol) . Shame on us for helping to add fuel to a problem we then condemn everyone but ourselves when the violence surges or addiction issues cripple our own country. Our foreign policy in Mexico and South/Central America has never not been despicable.

    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!

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.

    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”

    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.
