Reply To: Noem Gets a $362M Drug Bust

24 tons is definitely a big seizure. The seizure was done by the Coast Guard in Fla. That is not where the big shipments come from. The bulk of cocaine comes into the US thru the Mexican border, Juarez or Tijuana. You know because that’s where the violence is centered as the cartels fight for those smuggling points. Chapo and the Sinaloa Cartel had those entry points on lock but Chapos capture created a vacuum. A seizure of that size tells me an informant tipped off the authorities. One of the well known smuggling routes is Colombia to Ecuador to Panama to Guatemala to Mexico to the US. I would love to know which organization was bringing that load into Fla. Cartels are always looking for new routes but Fla is an odd one. Losing a shipment is just part of doing business for the Cartels. The Colombians guarantee the shipments up until they leave Ecuador, from there the Cartels take the hit on any seizures.

Fentany is continuing to flow which was my point. Almost 100% of the world’s cocaine supply comes from Colombia. 100% of the fentany comes from Mexico but the chemicals to make it come from a China. Venezuela is a pickle in an elephant’s ass in the drug trade. Colombia and China. Control those two countries and the faucet is off. Forget about Venezuela. Colombia and China. But you are not seeing that and you never will.
