40 years ago the US sent Mexico into a financial crisis

— and it transformed the narcotics industry



This is a serious indictment of US policy towards Mexico in the 70s and 80s. While it deals with banks and financial landmarks, IMHO it still misses the single reason – the continued demand for the product by the American public.

It's not a "serious indictment", it's an essay by an elitist left wing Mexican novelist, Carmen Boullosa who seems desperate to blame the U.S. for the corruption of the Mexican government.

The US protects the Mexican Drug Lords who launder their drug money through US approved Banks and punish those that don't.

Ordinarily I'd dismiss a wild accusation like this but you have to consider the ATF's shipping thousands of illegal weapons to Mexican drug cartels. Is the Hussein administration knee deep in Mexican drug money?

C'mon, stop and think a minute. Where does all the $$$$ go from drug sales here in the USA? Someone has to be making a whole lot of hay with it. And, even with the regulation requiring the Treasury be informed of any banking transaction of $10k or more - there is no way all that $$$$ can be kept hidden from the Feds.

Therefore, the government has to know what's going on. And then, the $$$ gets shipped back to the dealers in Mexico or wherever where it is spent to provide jobs and stuff to the locals. So the foreign governments have to know about it and more or less accept it as a benefit to the people.
