U.S. arrest of former Mexican defense chief tests anti-drug alliance

MEXICO CITY — During the years that Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos spent as Mexico's defense secretary, he would sometimes brag about the partnership he helped build with American officials.

“The only thing that I am sure of is that the bilateral, military-to-military and defense-to-defense relationship between Mexico and the United States will continue to strengthen more and more,” Cienfuegos told Craig Deare, a former assistant U.S. defense attache in Mexico and a military historian, before leaving office in late 2018.

Now, Mexican and U.S. officials are left to pick up the pieces after Cienfuegos was arrested in Los Angeles earlier this month on U.S. charges that he had aided a drug cartel during his six years as the country’s top defense official.

The allegations have shocked Mexicans and humiliated the military, one of the country’s most venerated institutions. Some officials worry that the backlash could damage cooperation in the fight against narcotics trafficking.

she also got an award for "her dedication to stopping child trafficking" about which i can find no information. a very "people are asking a lot of questions about my connection to human trafficking already answered by my mysterious award saying how much i'm against it" moment imo (or maybe that's just my brain being full of cia mockingbird, drug trafficking, and pedophile honey-potting conspiracies)



I seriously think that Hillary Clinton sees Jeffrey Epstein's face behind every stranger on the street, because she knows that's the one thing that can still sink them both, and shameless as the Clintons may be she still has to get out of bed every day and look at herself in the mirror knowing that her husband traded favors with a pedophile so he could fuck a 12-13 year old or two (or ten).

I think she'll green-light any coup or assassination that any ghoul at any three letter agency wants if they frame it in an anti-pedophile virtue signaling charade, and I think her inability to perceive the world but through a filter of herself explains the demise of everyone from David Koresh to Muammar Gaddafi.

I think the financial and political weight of promising payoffs to all of these judges who are keeping Jeffy Jeff and Ghislane under wraps is getting a lot heavier than she will ultimately be able to bear. I think Biden was chosen not despite but because of his cognitive and physical decline, since Kamala is the only one who can be trusted to save that antichrist daughter of theirs' inherited grifts and grafts. When not a soul outside of the DNC staff would vote for Kamala they had to get a guy with one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel to appoint her.

it's LOL whenever the SC hears a case that's obviously going to be them making national or global policy as an unelected cabal and the defendant tries to argue against the SC's own jurisdiction. Like... it works when a majority sitting already wants to punt on a policy question, but otherwise, you're just going in there to tell them they're not the rulers of the world. And they do not want to hear that shit from some pissant lawyer.

I don't really know how to spell out any more clearly what I've said out about the United $naKKKe$ highest court's role in the world and their view of themselves vs. everyone else, so I'll do some coloring in instead. Famous blog "SCOTUSblog" wrote a very whiny article about how Katyal shouldn't be condemned for advancing his client's views because of the adversarial system, and putting aside what that says about Washington's role in the wide exciting world of literal slavery, what they're really upset about is the idea that a lawyer somewhere in Washington might get judged on the things he says and does, rather than who he knows.

Under D.C.-remora doctrine, the ONLY people to whom Katyal's station is allowed to mean nothing is the U.S. Supreme Court. The reason why is because he's not sitting on it and never has, at least not yet.

to be Adversarial-style fair to the sharks in their child-eating frenzy, the "Look to the Nazis who got away with it" line of argument might strike a chord in the unconscious minds of the nine people who at least believe in their own hearts that they are deciding who gets sworn in as president of the world next year, and every four years after that until each of them dies or chooses to retire, where the simplest option to pick the president of Earth is, they choose not to forbid the person who won the official chili cook-off from taking office.

If Trump had every justice dragged out into the street to be shot today, their opinion would be unanimous, unwavering and 100% sincere: "He can't do that! That's illegal!"

After all, the hardiest survivors of de-Nazification were the Third Reich's judges.

Speaking of the supreme court, the Bernie Sanders movement sure did produce a pitiful set of grifters. They're not even trying. Like, if your - parents - were - drone - bomb - accountants not trying.

EDIT: we have confirmed that her father is in fact a Textron and/or Lockheed-Martin drone bomb accountant, more at 11.

How it started...

CNN dot com is big-time pushing race war against the filthy Russian again. But they’re doing it by making their top headline every day a screechy “Analysis” by whichever CIA parrot, about how the lame duck president of U.S. is Destroying and Rampaging and so on, by which they mean he’s sulking & not doing much of anything. Cable news can’t even gloat without making it look like they’re having a meltdown

a kind of funny thing is the way the Bernard Sanders mini-media bubble, yuppie social-democrat podcasts, etc., trained a whole bunch of pseudo-socialist baby brains to crawl back around to the Ronald Reagan definition of "liberal" by way of pretending to read Marx, like a bunch of rats fed brain-liquefying chemicals and trained into some tortuous loop that takes them right back where they came from in the most pointless & humiliating way. They think as long as they're 1) in favor of voting for the "right" politicians in a bourgeois party and also 2) in favor of squealing racial slurs, they're somehow NOT liberals under the socialist definition... you couldn't make it up.

it really is wild because they could have just gotten there through the normal means of living in the U.S. and watching the news and accepting all the propaganda they'd normally get through those channels. and I'm sure a lot of those kids are just standard petty-bourgeois fash-follower psychological slurry, they've just latched on to one of the many ways to be like that in their country.

But a non-zero amount of them are like... being publicly racist because they think that prevents them from being liberals according to Marx or something, because they think socialism defines "liberal" the same way as the KKK does.
