Hector Berrellez: Cartels Own Tourist Resorts, 37,000 People Disappeared Last Year (Part 13)

[@bestservedchill1489]

Having gotten an undergraduate degree in Criminal Justice and having lived in a US border town, these are the things you learn about. These things have been going on for years. The cartel do not allow for violence in these resort cities because it is bad for business. They even own clubs and bars on the Mexican border. It doesn't end there. They own restaurants and small businesses, they have politicians and police in their pockets in US border towns. They also own alot of real estate in the US. Almost anywhere in the US where Mexican communities exist, they have investments and ties to the community. There's a whole underworld going on behind the scenes that the majority of the population isn't even aware of. Drugs coming in to the US and money going South. We walk past people everyday, drive next to cars on the street, and are neighbors with people we would never suspect who are a part of this underworld. There are sweet old ladies with kilos in their houses, cars with compartments driving by us and drop offs taking place in garages and restaurants. It would blow your mind if you knew.

[@GMacII]

This guy is spot on! During the pandemic, I left the U.S. with a one-way ticket to Cancun. I ended up befriending a local, and it quickly became clear that the cartel's presence was everywhere-Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cozumel, you name it. They keep tabs on everything (you can’t even SEE them because they look like normal people, older people, people with normal jobs, yet they’re wearing an earpiece). My friend sat me down at a taco spot across from Coco Bongo and told me I was being watched. I mentioned the TSA officer who asked how much money I had when I landed, and I simply responded, “enough.” I left for Playa del Carmen that day, but they were there too. You can’t escape them.

[@raygamble2105]

There is a story about foreigners couple being ambushed in a resort. They tied the males hands and feets and raped all their girlfriends except 1 mexican female.

[@alfredosanchez76]

Exactly. All the people that say Mexico is safe... are either tourists who are visiting the vacation spots, or non-locals who have moved there to buy a cheap home. What they don't realize... is that the only reason it seems safe, is because all those spots are owned and ran by the cartels. It is in their best interest to keep tourists and non-locals safe. It's all business.

US Government isn't coming down there no matter what. The US Government is the same government who caught a big drug dealer in the States who ended up being the Secretary of Defense of Mexico. They let him go for nothing because Mexico put pressure on the US and threatened to have every DEA agent removed from the country. The US gave him back and asked Mexico to investigate him. Mexico did and cleared him of all charges. The US didn't like that and asked Mexico to prosecute him or send him back up for an indictment. Mexico said no and that was the end of that.

My understanding about why the Cartels own hotels, it allows them to launder money. Basically what happens, they rent out 100 rooms, then show an additional 100 rooms as 'ghost' guests who pay 'cash'. This allows them to put their money into banks without questions as to where they got it.

We walked up with smiley hotel staff and walked into a room of police. They tried to bribe us, but I was attending the resort with about 125 friends of mine for a wedding. We all walked into the room and stood outside of it. They left. When some of my friends went back to their rooms , they were robbed too. Fuck that place. Community is nice but its too corrupt. This was 2018. Did take a tour of the Mayan ruins which was fantastic but had to have a tour guide who was familiar with cartel and police. They both will rob you, especially the police.

[@MA_808]

I will relate a true story I was part of over 40 years ago to show to you what he is saying is 100% true. In the late spring of 1980 I took my very pretty 19 year old student girlfriend to Ensenada for the weekend. We were returning on a Sunday late afternoon when the sun was beginning to set near Rosarita. A large round rock rolled down off the side of a berm in the middle of the road and my front left tire hit the rock and the car was disabled. I stopped as soon as it happened and my car was partially blocking the northbound right lane. In less than 30 seconds a white Ford LTD had pulled up and stopped in front of my car. Four men quickly got out of the car and surrounded my car with guns drawn. My car was locked and my girlfriends window was up and closed so they could not grab her. I told her forcefully do not open the door or the window. My window had been rolled down and one of the men, I later learned who were Mexican state plain clothed police officers, put a revolver in my face while he tried to unlock the door. Almost like divine intervention was involved because the door lock was stripped and pulled right off with the car door in the locked position. He could not get me out nor could they get my girlfriend out. They were screaming at us in Spanish for less than a minute before they were intimidated by the cars slowly passing by and honking at the scene they were witnessing. They got back in their LTD and sped off. We got out after they left and someone also driving north let us jump into their car and got us across the border. So, this kidnapping and killings of Americans and young pretty women is not new and it does happen.

It's not just in Mexico. I worked in the ski industry from the 80's to the late 90's. The cartel has a stranglehold on the labor force in the tourist industry in the states & has for decades. Everyone I worked with that wasn't a US citizen was being trafficked. It's not just the fee to get across the border. They pay the cartel for their housing, their ID, their P.O. box, their phones, everything. They are indeed debt bonded.

He was asking what i do for work, if it paid well, where was I from, where am i staying, how did i get there, ext........ and they do it in a charming sneeky way. This guy almost got me.
