  • Today on Borderland, Vince talks with former Game Warden John Nores about how Mexican drug cartels operate in America's forests and public lands.
    John served as a Game Warden for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for more than 25 years. He helped develop and lead the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET), an elite tactical unit targeting cartel drug operations on California’s public lands and created the agency’s sniper capability.
    John's latest book, Hidden War, 2nd Edition, is out now: www.johnnores.com/hidden-war.html

Those innocent individuals are exterminated whether you want to admit to it or not unfortunately. Yes, there are a few cases where it’s where the hikers ended up getting lost, turned around, injured, etc, but the bigger number is what I have said above and the media snd government refuse to disclose the truth about it and keep it hidden from the American citizens!!

      I disagree. The Cartels are in fact some of the current people hunting down Globalist pedos because the Globalists failed to pay the Cartels for years now and the Cartels recently learned the Globalists do not control the digital world financial system so the Cartels understand they don't need to do business with the Globalists and their slavery Govt. The world and Multiverse is not what we've all been misled to assume or believe.

I started really looking hard at who I see at rest stops and small towns like Doris California. What I see scares the crap out of me. The Trinity national forest in Trinity County has like 5 deputies and is massive. These guys are even stealing water from farmers and ranchers. I dont go out in the hay ranch that we own that I am not armed. Who knew I would have to have my head on a swivel and a firearm within reach out there. I moved up there from the gang infested east San Fernando valley. This is wild land and it needs protected.

      @@chrisannegresham4178 It's never been more clear to me that the solution to so many issues that we face as a nation will not and can not be solved by the federal government and that the power, responsibility, and authority of deterring and preventing criminal illegal aliens from entering the nation, and using law enforcement to arrest and deport them, should rest with the states who border other nations.
      So much of the nation's attention is focused on national and federal elections and for as important as they are, it's a distraction. As our nation is a constitutional federal democratic republic, everything starts with the voter and local elections and works its way up from there.
      Every elected local official will impact your life every single day and there is no such thing as a "minor" or "insignificant" local official.
      Whether it's criminal illegal aliens on rancher's land in Arizona or the cartel in California, the local areas and state should ultimately be held responsible for the integrity of and enforcing laws on its borders. The only way that improves is through the power of the voters in electing officials who will represent, serve, and protect the citizens.
      Ultimately, it's "we the people" who have failed our local community, state, and nation and only "we the people" have the power and responsibility to save it.

      Want to take control of drugs out of drug cartels ? Legalize and regulate. Drugs are here to stay and with billions of dollars and countless amount of time spent on the war on drugs, there is no results to show as drugs have only gotten more plentiful and less expensive and stronger. Drugs are not going anywhere. I too lost a family member because of drugs but I int delusional about the reality of the fact that they aren't going anywhere. More of the same ''war on drugs'' will not change anything. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

    2004?!?!? First of all, I’ve been a backpacker, hunter, fisherman, survivalist, etc most of my life. I’m no operator, but I can handle myself well. My bushcraft/survival skills are above average. I’m an excellent tracker (not trying to bump myself up, I’ve been told that by the two Sheriffs Deputies, one ex-Ranger and an ex-Marine with SERE training, who tried to evade me during a tracking training )No “formal training” until I got into SAR in 2009, and when I got into that I started to train them in some tracking survival skills, as well as austere field medicine/first aid. I hunt a zone in the Central Valley sierras. It’s 1994. At this point I’ve fished, hiked and backpacked this area since a was kid. Like a little kid. I’m 24 at the time. Ok…we’re truck scouting an area off the western ridge of this canyon, and I see a small rock formation on the side of this road. So I pull off and check it. It’s a small trail that leads down to upper fork of the Kings that feeds the much larger middle fork. It is a primarily south/east facing face. I told my buddy I was gonna walk it. He was gonna finish his “breakfast “ and meet me at the bottom. Now I knew, and had heard stories about grows in the National Parks that border this zone, heard stories of these guys stopping fishermen or hunters and taking their licenses and telling them ‘now we know where you live’ kinda shit, and although it’s in the back of my head, it’s not the first thing on my mind. I’m walking down, rifle in hand (always had a handgun on me), and I’m noticing new boot prints. I come around a small bend and there’s a little Laotian/Hmong guy sitting on a fallen tree with a sawed off 12g shotgun. I surprised him as much as he surprised me. I saw his grip tighten on the gun stock, I started to point mine more towards him, and from behind I hear a snap, then a “what the f$@k?” and my buddy came up from behind with his 30/30 coming up. It was really weird. Scary. A rush, and not really in a good way. We all kinda looked at each other. I kinda waved my hand low and we just left. I figured he was waiting for a drop (rock formation as a marker) and we were not who he expected. Let the local game warden know. A year later…HUGE grow was found in that exact spot. Fast forward 5 yrs later, on another ridge, this one skirting the north side of the Middle Fork of the Kings, south facing. I had started down this trail. I’m always checking for prints, wires, etc. And after the last go round I’m pretty much always in a heightened state when I’m up there…and honestly, it pisses me off these a$$holes are f$@king up MY sierras. As I’m going I look up just in time to miss a fish hook at my eye level. This is NOT uncommon. Especially in the less traveled areas, which I prefer to hunt. Even though I’ve seen this first hand, it still took me off a bit when we went through specialized training on this stuff in SAR. I generally hunt alone. After the couple of incidents, and these were just two, I keep a bag back in my truck with an extensive first aid kit, spare mags for the pistol I carry, as well as a spare pistol with high capacity mags, 3 military grade smoke grenades, and an AR500 plate carrier (able to stop a rifle round up to .308), with the extra coating. I’m not giving up MY sierras. I’m not giving up MY right to be in MY woods. And I’ll be god dammed if they’re going to intimidate me out of my life.

      Hey I can't help but ask you this, hopefully I hear back. LOL. I have spent alot of time in the National Forests backpacking. I have spent even more time in the woods hunting, exploring, tracking. Currently I live in the woods. I have noticed there have been times when all around me got completely, eerily silent. There was one time when I was in the woods and something was upon me and I just bolted and got the hell out of there very fast. Never have I seen any sign of a Dogman, or a Bigfoot track. My crazy mother-in-law saw Bigfoot. I've seen wolf and bear. I can stalk up on a buck. So to me these paranormal creatures are just tales. Have you ever seen , noticed anything?

These guys will move from bust site to bust site, in a lot of cases, just resetting up what was taken down. And they’re able to grow this stuff above tree line now. So you’re talking 10,000’ +. There had been a meth lab somewhere on the Merced, east of Yosemite. They had used an old cabin site off a one, bust after bust for years. Someone went in and broke down the old wood stove, they came back. Then a fire finally took the old cabin out and that stopped it. Can you even begin to imagine what was flowing through Yosemite?!? The only real clean up is with private groups, I know our SAR group had hiked out a bunch of stuff and flew some out on netting when we had a guy who’d volunteer his little bird for searches and whatnot. They just will not give them the money or resources to clean these up, and a lot of these are in SNP and KNP. They’re really killing our mountains.

      I'll be sure to go thank her for contributing to the fentanyl problem in this country. It was people like them who went around shutting down all the pill mills where people were actually getting the real thing from their doctor and were forced to turn to street products because they can't get their meds anymore. It's one big vicious cycle and nobody involved is innocent.

    Worked for DOJ back in the mid 90's. The narc units from Riverside and San Berdoo were pulling out grows all under Arrellano-Felix and Sinaloa control. Game wardens weren't involved, unless they stumbled onto a grow and then would notify LE. Seen numerous game wardens shows dating back a decade and they are dealing with wildlife issues. Talked to a warden in Newport Beach who stated the judges don't hardly look at poaching cases or they give low sentences. When the guest is talking about all the poisons the cartels were putting in the water, he found out that the TF wasn't created for the damage to the forest, even though the California Governor's always lied about how much they care about the environment, that's all they were interested in doing, that's what we learned at DOJ.
