Juarez Drug Cartel Victim Marisela Escobedo's Sad Story | Joe Rogan and Johann Hari

[@danielyoung2027]

[@shanenelson5811]

@Tobirama Senju The problems are much more widespread. I have too many friends who have done contracting work down South. The issue is the government does not care enough to start executing these dogs in the street for everyone to see. You want change for Mexico? It starts with the executing of people like El Chapo, and others who think they are above the law. You want to cut the head off the snake? You have to get your hands dirty. It honestly would need to be like the movie Sicario and Sicario 2. You need to go completely cold blooded to end the cycle.

if only the story had ended there. After Marisela's killing one of her sons kept investigating, for that Marisela's family business was burned down and her remaining sons received very real death threats for them and their kids, they had to escape and request asylum to the US. Hope I was making this up, look at her documentary. People think about 3rd world countries as places filled with cowards and lazy people, but they don't understand how big, rich and powerful the organizations that traffick Drugs to America and Europe are, they own everything down there and if you decide to confront them they'll destroy everything you love. Even the famous story of Alejo Garza, an elderly man who single handedly had a gun fight to save his ranch from the Cartel and killed several cartel enforcers has a sad twist, when you realize that he gave his life fighting but at the end the cartel took over the ranch from his family. Or there you have the Lebanon mormons who for years fought back the cartel and recently had a truck full of their children burned, or the Self defense groups in the state of Michoacan that were successful when the police was overrunnes by the cartels, but currently are facing a gruesome extermination process at the hands of the mobsters because they don't have money to support their defense, nothing compares to the money the drug game provides, and these animals will kill and destroy everything that stands in the way of the millions of dollars they can make, if they are in a good mood they,ll buy everything and everyone and if they can't buy they'll just take it. It has been more then a decade of open war in the streets of Mexico to prohibit drug trafficking, Younger generations of kids see the cartels as the real power and the only way to escape poverty, most of them come from broken families destroyed by this very war, more deviant, more twisted and violent each day. You destroy a cartel here and a new one with better weapons and training pops up over there, and no one seems to understand that there is a bigger game in place, that even the big banks have been caught red handed willingly laundering cartel money.

I’m from chihuahua, the Zetas who were working with the Juarez Cartel were the ones responsible for all the senseless murders. They both also employed a super large street gang called the Barrio Azteca. The barrio azteca were the ones killing and reaping women, they did it because they had the protection of the Zetas and the Juarez cartel. In 2012 Juarez hired a former military officer named Julián Leyzaola. He analyzed what was going on and it is believed he let El Chapo and the Sinaloa Cartel take over Juarez because he believed the Barrio Azteca (which was employed by Zetas and Juarez cartel) where the ones responsible for all the women being murdered. Well wouldn’t you know it, after a couple of months working in Juarez and after a couple of assassination attempts on his life. Juarez drastically reduced in murders and women becoming missing. With the Sinaloa cartels presence and police working with the Sinaloa cartel things became ok, not perfect but drastically better. Well now that he is no longer police chief in Juarez and now that the state and police are back to working with the Juarez cartel and Barrio Azteca shit is going back to how it used to be. There is a documentary called Mexico’s Bravest Man (2016) it’s on Amazon video but I’m sure you can also find it on KZbin. It tells the story of Julián Leyzaola and how he helped clean up Tijuana and later Juarez. This documentary exposes all the corruption the Mexican government tries to sweep under the rug.

We hear of stories of crime daily here in the US. Most are gang-related, or petty crimes (in comparison) and we’re terrified (understandably). Then we hear stories like Marisela’s and we realize how truly terrifying it is to live in many parts of Mexico and how bad others have to live their daily lives. We also hear about courageous and brave stories daily. Then we hear about what Marisela did, went through and endured to seek justice for not only her daughter but thousands of others also. It’s incredible, inspiring, heart warming and yet at the same time just down right scary how a mother went up against a corrupt and cowardly government just so that they can do their job. That’s more than devotion, more than courage and more than anger. That’s love. Her story is more than tragic, yes. It’s also proof that there are incredible, honest, hard-working and courageous people in Mexico that are purposely falsely viewed by many of us. Marisela is also a reminder that they too deserve to live as we do, as best we can. Truly courageous woman, Marisela was.

Make sure you mention the sparkling human rights record of the secret police that were disbanded and the 1980s. Don't talk about the long history of suppressing peasant revolts in the south or the death of student activists. The United States certainly doesn't help Mexico with our stupid war drugs. But, to pretend the Mexican governments structures are not corrupt to the core is laughable. The DEA who spends millions of dollars on drug interdiction in Mexico has admitted that there are virtually no uncorrupted cops. The DEA must choose between the least corrupted cops when running anti-drug operations.

We should follow the Swiss and Portuguese examples. What we are doing now isn't working, has never worked, and never will work.

I worked for the DA during the drug war in Juarez, one of my university teachers was one of the judges that let Sergio go, that's not exactly how the story went, but the thing is there are a lot of structural problems in Mexico, Mexico was a soft dictatorship up until the 2000's so there were no institutions really, governments just did whatever the president wanted or the governor or the city major wanted, so the cartels grew and grew, until something like Juarez happens, hundreds of druggies with ak's start arriving to town to kill off everyone they suspect works for the local cartel, they kill cops, lawyers, doctors, soldiers, bureaucrats, and the state has no real way to stop them, they get arrested, they get a good lawyer, all the evidence you had against them is not enough, eyewitnesses back up, evidence is stolen or 'lost', so you take them to a judge and you have nothing, and then you have 300 folders on your desk to investigate, no one can handle that, if you're lucky you would get 1 or 2 detectives in your office, we were putting in 12 hour a day shifts and it wasn't enough, and everyday you would have more and more files in your desk from new crimes being committed, local police would arrest people, you'd have no evidence other than the cop telling you they did it and the judge would let them go, this went on for months, the system crashed very fast and the politicians were doing nothing but giving speeches as always, I don't blame the judges or the cops or the army, it was a system failure caused by the remains of that soft dictatorship where the governor thinks he can control everything but doesn't even go out on the street and spends the budget on marketing because the idiot thinks he can become president. that is the mess in Mexico.

[@shotgunsurgeon23]

Zetas didn't start as a cartel, they were the armed wing of the Gulf Cartel, and by proxy the Sinaloa Cartel. they didn't defect from those leaders until the later 2000's when Heriberto Lazcano finally decided they could handle their own drug business while simultaneously ridding their former leaders of their muscle which was they themselves. it was the cause of a extreme wave of violence around 2010-2012

[@alphijr]

The Zetas were always a cartel. What’s sense does it make to point to a time they weren’t zetas yet?

[@shotgunsurgeon23]

@@alphijr they were Zetas all along but that's just a name. What I'm saying is they didnt begin as a cartel. They were just enforcers, bodyguards and trigger men when needed for the CDG and Sinaloa Cartel. It took them over about a decade to become their own bosses i.e. their own cartel. It's fairly common place these armed wing groups for cartels develop an image that people began to think they're cartels themselves. The Nuevo Leon "Anthrax" group is an example and maybe "La Sombra" as well. And the sense it makes is for the sake of getting information right.

[@ramitinmahashol4523]

@@alphijr Like what shotgun said. They broke apart. Los Zetas had reigned supreme, special force commandos trained by IDF. They are broken apart now from losing the war with Sinaloa Cartel Federation. CDS (Cartel Del Sinaloa) were allies with Juarez Cartel. Sinaloa Cartel had the Mexican Government and Military help fracture Los Zetas. As of now Los Zetas are in smaller groups fighting each other. Old School Zetas fighting against CDN (A renegade group who broke apart) and Gulf Cartel. So right now CJNG which only took 9 years became first most powerful cartel to ever grow rapidly in history. This group broke apart with Sinaloa Cartel and is at war with them right now. Leader is El Mencho who has ruthless ways with enemies. Sinaloa Cartel is still the top but CJNG rivals them and possibly might surpass them. And now remnants of New Cartel Del Juarez allied themselves to CJNG. More waves of violence in Mexico going to drop records high now.

And Maxi pretty much explained the entire situation with clarity. CJNG is predicted to be the next top dog in the Mexican theatre of the war on drugs. The infighting going on with CDS between El Mayo (2nd in command to El Chapo prior to capture) and Los Chapitos (el Chapos two sons) has fractured and splintered the organization to the point they're losing hold on some of the most sought after border corridors. Because of it we may even see the end of what's generally agreed upon as the oldest criminal organization in Mexico, The Gulf Cartel. They'd only been holding on because of backing in the form of funding and man power from Sinaloa.

I used to be ignorant to thinking the wall was just wrong. It was more so the way trump was ignorant and his poor choice of words about Mexicans. But the thing is even though the idea of the wall is almost impossible because of the costs to build it and the fact that some terrain wouldn’t allow for a wall to go through it I think the idea of having stricter border security is fair. People and drugs are trafficked because of the stupid cartels. People were outraged when they found out families were being kept in immigration camps but they didn’t bother informing themselves on why. Turns out they were trying to prevent the trafficking of women and children by doing DNA tests and making sure that those claiming to be related were actually related. So wanting to have stricter borders is the best for both sides
