Online disinformation fueled panic after killing of Mexican drug lord

Indeed, I have traveled on business to Mexico for 13 years. The hot spots? Everybody knows where they are and you avoid them. The press likes to make things much bigger than they are to sell ratings. The breaking point is Baja Sur, Cabo San Lucas, San Jose Del Cabo and to a certain extent La Paz. There is too much American money there.

Really ? Head of FBI providing this service ?

The U.S. Department of State’s Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) leads security for U.S. Olympians, athletes, and staff at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan-Cortina, coordinating with Italian authorities and the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC). Over 100 DSS agents are involved, collaborating with a 24/7 Joint Operations Center in Milan.

US senator Warren targets US ammunition sales linked to Mexican cartels

I would argue that WE ALL KNOW humans are going to use drugs and alcohol so instead of creating a black market that funds all of these cartels, and a massive prison for profit system incarcerating millions of Americans for drug possession, there should be decriminalization and regulation/availability for certain drugs in red light districts.

If we learned anything from the War on Drugs it’s that drug use isn’t going to stop…
