Nations Largest Cocaine Smuggler Revealed: The DEA
Newly released documents, and testimony from Justice Department and DEA officials now show the stories of government running cocaine are true.
An investigation conducted in Mexico found the American government allowed that country’s largest drug cartel, Sinaloa, to operate without fear of persecution.
That groups is estimated to be responsible for 80 percent of the cocaine coming into the country through Chicago.
In exchange, the leaders of Sinaloa provided the DEA information on rival gangs.
The drug cartel working with the federal government is run by [NAME REDACTED IN ORIGINAL] . He is considered to be the world’s most powerful drug trafficker.
In addition to Chicago, his group also maintains cocaine operations in several major cities around the country.
Written statements were provided to a U.S. District Court in Chicago, confirming the alliance between the DEA and Mexico’s largest cocaine cartel.
The written testimony, combined with other evidence, shows DEA officials met with leaders of the Sinaloa cartel more than 50 times between 2000 and 2012.
This would mean DEA-authorized drug smuggling goes back to at least the beginning of the George W. Bush administration, and continued for year under Barack Obama.
One of the groups leaders, Vincente Zambada-Niebla, claims the American government also sent military-grade weapons to Sinoloa.
According to the latest revelations, it was these weapons which were part of the Fast-and-Furious scandal.
Automatic firearms which disappeared during that operation, led by Eric Holder, were used to kill U.S. Border agents.
This latest evidence and testimony points toward a massive scandal, involving both Republican and Democratic administrations.
At the very least, this provides the best evidence so far that the Federal government was sponsoring the smuggling of billions of dollars of cocaine into the United States.
Worse still, weapons purchased for the U.S. military may have been sent to the cartel, and used to kill American agents.

Phi Beta Iota: We take the above story with some reservations. There is no question but that CIA and DEA and FBI are all cutting deals with drug dealers and turning a blind eye to various murders of convenience. This has been going on at a federal and White House approved level since Ronald Reagan was President and Marine Colonel Ollie North was the chief facilitator for various unconstitutional (and therefore treasonous) exchanges of drugs, guns, and money outside of legislative authorization and appropriations. Then Commandant of the Marine Corps Al Gray appears to have been the senior military officer facilitating the nexus of counterterrorism capabilities and military assets (e.g. Marine Corps air bases as smuggling landing zones) with drugs and murder off the books. The whole truth will not be known until we reestablish a Constitutional government with an utterly ruthless counterintelligence capability that is built on top of Truth & Reconciliation — including absolute presidential pardons — covering past mis-deeds.
