to protect the operations of a drug cartel. The surprise arrest in Los Angeles, as the general and his wife were starting a California vacation, stirred an outcry among high-ranking Mexican officers. The military is a key ally of the Mexican president, one he can ill afford to alienate. Top officers were angered that Gen. Cienfuegos had been arrested by U.S. authorities outside Mexico and would be judged in the U.S., two senior Mexican government officials said. Officers saw this as a humiliation and a violation of Mexico’s sovereignty. Others also believed the general was innocent.

The arrest awakened nationalist anti-American passions in the armed forces, said former Foreign Minister Jorge Castañeda. “This is a hard blow to Mexico’s image and for its armed forces,” an active-duty general wrote to Mr. Castañeda in a WhatsApp message, according to Mr. Castañeda. “Cienfuegos is innocent,” the active-duty general added. “This is a totally abusive and arbitrary action by the U.S. I consider it an insult to Mexico.”

The media in America is mostly dead. Today they resemble Russian Pravda. When I turn on the media (NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, and the like) I can only spend a few minutes watching before I have to change the channel before becoming nauseous.

There is a reason why Police battle Drug Dealers in the Neighborhood. Drug Dealers are the Slave Owners: Shameless Depravity. Drug Addiction, the New Modern Method of Slavery. Fentanyl is 10x more powerful the Heroin.

Legally be able to kill your unborn baby while the U.S. wages a war on free choice. [you can kill YOUR kid, but could you stop fucking with my dreams?] Because I trust my Abba Yeshua and I enjoy the green and seed bearing plants He blessed me with.

Yes crime syndicates like David zhu own cops & a vet army, & it's generational meaning older dealers above him, race based, allow him to grease by in peace while the high up smile on him & people like him trying to capture Americans too broke to escape as David Zhu gets richer.

The war on drugs is unconstitutional. The First Amendment right: no law based on religion or prohibiting religion. Genesis 'everything green and seed bearing is a blessing unto man from God.' Ecclesiastes 'Enjoy life.' Galatians 'It is for Freedom that Christ has set me free.'
