The Department of Justice has recently announced that the new great devil for the Empire is the drug cartels, operating just over the border. Empires need an enemy and to his credit, Trump is unwilling to pick enemies from the other side of the globe. Instead, he prefers more practical enemies, ones that cause real Americans real trouble in the real country. The drug cartels are not a threat to “our democracy” or a threat to freedom around the world. They sell drugs and murder Americans right here in America.
That’s a welcome change, given that Trump has often flirted with neocon lunacy regarding Iran and Syria. The ruling class and their media organs will never admit it, but one main reason for Trump is that white people grew tied of fighting wars for a ruling class that despises them. The fact that the Trump administration seems to be serious about the problems south of the border suggests they either get that or simply know how to read polling. Mexican drugs and crime are a serious concern for normal white people.
The curious thing is why it has to be cast as some sort of great crusade. Mexico is a poor country, relative to America. It’s not Africa, but it is it not Canada either. One reason the cartels are a problem is the Mexican government is unable to assert its control over all of its territory. The Federal Police is riddled with corruption, as the drug cartels are able to buy them off or threaten them off. The government is always worried about the loyalty of the army, so deploying them against the cartels is a complicated proposition.
One of the interesting results of this is we have a very good understanding of who runs the cartels, where they operate and where they manufacture product. Every once in a while, the Mexican government asks for help nabbing a drug lord and we are able to direct them to the right place at the right time. We’re able to do this using old school signal intelligence. Unlike the Middle East, we are not deploying and army of drones to monitor what’s happening on the ground. If we wanted, we could own the air space tomorrow.
The proof of this is that we can locate a trouble maker in Yemen and hit them with a missile, without having anyone on the ground in Yemen. We’ve been perfecting drone warfare in both Yemen and Afghanistan for almost two decades now. Presumably, conducting drone warfare in our backyard, with lots of human resources on the ground to augment the drone surveillance, would be much more effective. If we wanted, we could unleash unlimited drone warfare on the cartels to devastating effect.
Of course, the politics of fighting Mexican cartels are even better than running a drone war over the horizon. The support for droning savages in Afghanistan and Yemen is non-existent, so the ruling class no longer discusses it. Their effort to make the murder of the Saudi journalist a big deal is a good example of how little Americans now care about what is happening with these people. A barbaric theocracy murdered one of their people inside the borders of a neighboring barbaric theocracy. Also, water is still wet.
In contrast, imagine Trump announcing that the opioid problem has reached such a crisis that he is ordering the military to conduct operations over the border in order to defend the country against these cartels. Throw in a secondary announcement that he has ordered the arrest and deportation of the Sackler family and Trump’s approval rating soars. The Left would cry out in pain as they strike out at Trump over it, but as we are seeing, this is becoming an ineffective tactic, as people embrace more realistic politics.
This brings us back to where we started. Fixing the problems with Mexico is such an obvious winner politically, but no one talks about it. Trump won the White House on his promise to build a border wall, among other things, but no one in the political class has much interest in the problems with the border. You don’t have to be a conspiracy buff to think that maybe this is not just serendipity. It is not just the politicians, who ignore the issue. The so-called conservative media has always worked hard to ignore it.
It is one of those issues, which reveal the deep loathing of typical white people that has become normalized in the American ruling class. When the ruling class thinks about the heroin problem, they think, “Well, they deserve it.” They don’t think of middle-class parents finding their kid dead in her bed from a fentanyl overdose. They think of snaggle-toothed hillbillies living in shacks, with a few Confederate flags hanging on the walls. For our rulers, there are good whites and bad whites and we are all bad whites.
That’s why these bread and butter issues no longer resonate with the political class. Few of them have any acquaintance with real work. They popped out of prep school into a nice college, then grad school and then a position in the managerial class. The normal people in their family are soon transformed into props for their fictional origin story about how they were discriminated against, victimized or made to feel sad in some way. Theirs is a world of highly choreographed gestures designed to display their piety and fidelity to the class.
For the ruling elite, we are the dirty natives over whom they reluctantly rule. This colonial mentality has become a part of ruling class culture. It’s why they remain baffled by the popularity of Trump’s economic agenda. It’s not that they oppose it. It’s that they don’t understand why anyone would care about coal miners in West Virginia or steamfitters in Ohio. It’s why they never think about addressing the Mexican cartel problem or the human trafficking at the border. These are not their problems and therefore none of their concern.
This is the result of foreign rule. America is the first purely cultural empire, so it is no surprise that we are the first people to be ruled by native born foreigners. The iron rule of foreign domination is that it ends poorly for the rulers. People prefer to be ruled by their own kind. Maybe what we are seeing with Trump is another first. The peaceful transition from foreign rule to local rule, with the foreigners going native. It seems unlikely, but Trump winning the White House was unlikely. Maybe this strange age will come to a strange end.
Can tell you from my former colleagues still in the Fire/EMS business that the elites are getting a fuck-ton more concerned about heroin now that their little darlings are getting Narcan’d around here on a regular basis. But politically the debates are still around signing up to get all our electricity locally from “renewable” sources. Not whether there are real jobs for skilled trades in mining or building pipelines. Of course if you point out that the total electricity consumption of the downstate NY, mostly proggie towns that have signed up for this scam is an ungodly multiple of the… Read more »
How (or if Trump) responds to the Mexican issue is going to determine his political future, as well as more pressing issues, like whether or not there will be a future. I was stationed at Fort Bliss in El Paso, right across from Juarez, and I got to see up close how scary it is. But the Central American Migrant Caravan needs to be dealt with before Mexico, and dealt with harshly. Fighting drug dealers is easy. The altruism/empathy bug that is constantly being manipulated in white people (especially when crying children are involved) needs to be fixed. Scott Adams… Read more »
Great piece. Taking it a bit further, dropping precision strikes on Mexican cartel leaders and their crony elites would do a world of good for the country itself. Doubters would say “others would take their place”, but we have a lot of precision missiles, and when the expected lifespan of filling that role goes to days or weeks, the jobs will remain unfilled. Imagine how much good would come out of all of it, for the average Mexican.
In my opinion this piece of thezman maybe his most superficial and least memorable. The catastrophic misuse of Oxycontin hits every social class not just the white lower classes; it is easy to blame the Sacklers when your 2nd lumbar is not crushed in an accident and you are not seeing stars from pain.
Sorry dude, but Zman is correct, it is by far an epidemic of white working class young men and women. I work in the field and see it every day. A causative factor is the destruction of families and communities perpetrated by globalism and the elites plundering the capital of our nation for their nefarious schemes.
An 18th Century French aristocrat once said: “We really have nothing else to do but to seek pleasant sensations and feelings.”
We are all now 18th Century French aristocrats.
Drug cartels are really insurgencies. You have two options, massive retaliation or COIN operations. We’ve never been good with the latter. So if we are going to drone them, it has to be quick (a couple of weeks) and absolutely ruthless. Civilian casualties are ignored and every single known target gets pulverized. Assassination teams are sent for anyone on the target list who manages to escape. When the press starts screaming you simply scroll pictures of everyone in Mexico and the US killed by the cartels or from OD’s.
None of the Senators had the stones to say that Blasey Ford was doing anything other than mistakenly associating Kavanaugh with a real event. You think they’ll risk linking themselves to collateral damage in Mexico, video at 11?
Im not sure Americans are the first to be ruled by ‘native born foreigners’, from Europe to India, there’ve been quite a few but I will say that Obama’s election showed the fundamental deficiency of the ‘natural born clause’. it failed to keep this singularly anti-national out of the white house so it doesnt work. I think it is actually a magic dirt clause. Anything under which an Irish immigrant MoH winner cannot run but a New Mexico born jihadist can, is not helping the good cause. I think Trump is part of the pattern of nationalism becoming a viable… Read more »
A case could be made that imperial Russia was ruled by ‘native born foreigners’, who lived in Petersburg and Moscow off remittances from their unvisited rural estates. Z’s dictum, that foreign rule ends poorly for the rulers, certainly applies.
European royal families used to trade countries and thrones like, well, a bit like game of thrones I guess. I think the rusky czars were actually ethnically German. Certainly didnt end well for them….
Yes, but I wasn’t thinking specifically about the royal family. I was thinking about all the absentee landlords depicted in Tolstoy’s novels, thoroughly Russian by ‘blood and soil’ who drifted into the cities to staff the imperial bureaucracy and officer corps, totally disengaged from the source of their power and wealth, speaking French at soirées rather than Russian, as ignorant of the life of the ‘dirt people’ working their farms as our modern elites are of “steamfitters in Ohio”, as Z man put it.
Re Russia, yeah could be, I dont know the history well enough to have a strong opinion there
I think you’re wrong about any of the lineages of “rusky czars”, though Catherine the Great was indeed German.
Quite possible. I know the last czar was cousin to both the German kaiser and the British king and that the British House of Windsor is generally considered German stock (they changed their name from something very German to ‘Windsor’ during WW1 when it was not popular to be German in London). So, w a German cousin and British cousins who were also a sort of Germans I figured the guy who ended his day being murdered by the bolchies, was probably German too. Maybe Im wrong there??
There’s a certain current of Black opinion that revels in whites dying from opioids. In their eyes, the 1980s crack boom which resulted in mass incarceration was a conspiracy theory of white racists in the CIA. Now that whites are victims of drugs, we are “hypocritically” asking for rehab instead of mass incarcerating white junkies. This doesn’t fly with the evidence that it is “distribution” that hits most criminal charges, and that black pols in the 80s supported the Drug War just as much as white pols did.
On a related point, the impact of “employer race realism”. Part of the reason why employers are so gung ho on immigration/diversity is the perception that badwhites are substance abusers, compared to Hispanics/Asians that consume drugs at lower rates than whites/blacks.
https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2017/11/low-skill-immigration-case-restriction/
From that article:
“As Mark Krikorian has said, immigration is not a left-right issue, but top-down. Business interests and economic libertarians in the Republican party push for more low-wage labor, while ethnic pressure groups have become a primary constituency of the Democrats. Both sides embrace an ideology of one-world globalism, which conveniently aligns with their upper-income class interests. This coalition often comforts itself with the belief that mass immigration is not detrimental—and perhaps is even beneficial—to the low-skill Americans with whom the newcomers compete. We beg to differ.”
Maybe there’s hope after all.
Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric have been tone deaf to the use of H-2B visa workers on the Trump properties. I’m not getting my hopes up just yet. We’ve got tens of millions of potential voters working in low wage service jobs. That 15/hr min wage looks quite appetizing to those of a sub-95 IQ. Restricting immigration to drive up wages is a good idea, but limited Executive actions can only do so much.
If that is the perception – then maybe people have to ask if there is any truth behind it. A few months back I spent a few days down in Kentucky. I had to pick up a piece of equipment, so the wife and I drove down and spent a few days. While there I had a number of conversations with white guys in my age bracket (50s) – and heard this same tale from each one of them. They claimed that in the area we were in (Morehead and general vicinity) – there was actually lots of jobs available… Read more »
we should breed the poor whites with nigs and asians and see if we can’t come up with something useful
Lived in two major “shithole” metros during the crack epidemic. And you are absolutely correct–open the paper in either city and it was community leaders, correctly, demanding a crack down. In one of them the locals and DEA did a massive distribution gang bust that literally took out the entire leadership of the major distribution gang. The unforeseen effect was it turned every dealing corner into the OK Corral as the underlings battled for distribution rights. On clear, windless nights you could even hear them whacking away at each other on E. Jeff and Charlevoix in Grosse Pointe. Oops.
Thank you for that link to the Sackler story. Incredible evil!
Clearing the Mediterranean of pirates led, in large part, to the ability of Rome to go into empire mode. When people talked about the Pax Romana they were referring to the Mediterranean basin, not so much continental Europe, where they continued to deal with barbarians.
From this standpoint, while it might be nice to get the drug cartel thing taken care of once and for all, we could be setting ourselves up for a rule by transnational elites the likes of which we have not yet seen or dreamt of.
These are different times. The drug cartels are not what is standing in the way of the ambitions of the trans-national elite. In fact they make a pretty convenient “crisis” to use as the moral equivalent of war (just like climate change and terrorism) to help pass their globalist political agenda.
Think of what the general attitude of people would be if there were no drug cartels and no crime coming from Mexico. The border with Mexico would end up being even more porous than it is. All the dreams of those guys that were planning a highway and train system all the way to the west coast of Mexico would be approved in a minute. We’d be talking about more NAFTA-like crap than you could dream of. Goods would be cheap, but we’d need welfare moneynto buy them with because no one would have a job outside government.
What you’re saying is that the War On Drugs is useful for the Right. Fair enough. But we’ve had the better part of a century of warring on drugs and it hasn’t helped secure the border very much. Look around. It’s a pretty crappy tool. These “moral equivalent of war” manufactured panics used to galvanize population in favor of a particular policy are dishonest and manipulative. You base your policies on crap reasons, you get crap policies, whether left or right. If we convince the population that the reason we need to secure the border is because of drugs then,… Read more »
Personally – I think Trump ought to use the drug cartels the same way we’ve always used nefarious characters. For instance: Apparently there’s a caravan of a few thousand Hondurans and random others marching north. When they get to the border – suddenly Trump is going to have a big problem. If the cartels were used however to go in and shoot up the caravan – then Trump could suddenly claim “Humanitarian Mission!!” and send in the Marines. The Marines could shoot up some cartel sicarios – and gather up all those saintly wannabe illegal immigrants – and then haul… Read more »
That’s prevented from being automatically the worst idea ever only by the existence of so many other terrible ideas, but it’s a contender.
A drone war in Mexico without a COIN strategy and a “refugee” strategy in the US will make matters worse. We know for a fact that there are enemy troops on US soil. Any military campaign is going to drive herds of people north. The precursor to a drone war in Mexico is an aggressive and violent campaign here to deplete cartel resources. That’s gonna get tough to do as states move to legalize pot. As we’ve seen in CO, that just opened the door to the cartels by shortening their distribution chains and providing legal camouflage to in-state production.… Read more »
I read the timing of this announcement as an acknowledgment of confidence by the Trump administration that the midterms are in the bag and the Republicans will keep control of the House and Senate. If there were questions about Congress the administration would have waited until after the election. This is the start of election 2020. Let’s see the Democrats continue to block funding for a wall on the Southern border when it’s part of a plan to tackle the inflow of drugs from our friendly neighbors to the south. Republicans will have illegal immigration and drug interdiction. Democrats will… Read more »
I don’t know what to expect from the midterms. The media gaslighting is so intense, it’s hard to assess the House races. The GOP will pick up some senate seats. I don’t recall a midterm where the Senate went one way and the House went another, so maybe the House follows the Senate. I see the so-called conservatives are posting columns imploring voters to vote GOP, despite Trump. That suggests they are trying to get in front of the parade so they can pretend anyone pays attention to them.
Agree on gaslighting. Last week I went through the numbers on each race that Real Clear Politics lists as a toss up. Republicans are heading for a 53-56 seat majority in the Senate. AZ, MO, and NV are going red. FL, IN, and MT are harder to call. (WTH is wrong with this Braun guy in Indiana? There’s no excuse for not being able to turn Indiana red this year. You can’t even tell he’s a Republican from his website.) I gave the Democrats every benefit in the toss-up races for the House and it resulted in 218R, 217D. A… Read more »
What’s your take on the Nate McMurray / Chris Collins race in western NY?

I’ve been receiving an awful lot of robo-texts, purportedly from GOP agents, seeking to “get out the vote” and also, I suppose, contribute to unknown urls. I just delete these text messages, but I’ve sure received plenty of them. Not sure what it means. Might be the Nigerian GOP . . .
Everything Trump is doing this month is focused on winning the upcoming election and holding both houses of Congress. Every statement and action is geared toward appealing to some voter block or countering political initiatives by the Democrats. He is being hugely underestimated once again, and the Democrats don’t have anyone in their party with the brains to compete with him. The Democrats are being led by the likes of Schumer, Pelosi, Booker, and Waters; and the ghost of Hillary is still haunting them as well.

The Netflix documentary Heroin(e) was an eye-opener. The naloxone shot works so well the person wakes up immediately and starts going into withdrawal because the shot effectively neutralized the drugs in his system.

Maus is correct. Ask anybody in public safety , courts , fire ,PD, EMS , jails etc. If their honest they will tell you the white addicts are just as bad if not worse than the brown ones.

The Sackler family, who gasp are members of the tribe and so well connected no one can touch them. It’s easier for us to blow up some cartel goon than to arrest a pudgy member of the tribe. Consider this. We had opium dens in SF during the 20’s and 30’s. No one cared. Opium was easily obtained yet there was no epidemic. Yet this was during the GD. So what happened.?

“Oxycodone, sold under brand names such as Percocet and OxyContin among others, is an opioid medication which is used for the relief of moderate to severe pain.
Oxycodone was developed in 1917 in Germany as one of several semisynthetic opioids in an attempt to improve on the existing opioids.”

Regarding the Sackler family, and OxyContin, as a matter of personal anecdote I had a tooth implant. It didn’t hurt when they extract of it, but when they put in the screw, it hurt like a Mutha! they gave me two prescriptions. The really high dose of OxyContin, and 800 mg ibuprofen.

http://www.unz.com/runz/the-myth-of-hispanic-crime/?highlight=Myth
MIke, you asked for a Z response, but… I respect data and Unz, but I’ve lived near Hispanic areas that oozed crime. Just like I don’t believe that Asians are as tall as Africans, I don’t believe that the crime rate of Hispanics is the same as whites.
I watch the SF news and the number of Hispanic criminals reported far outweighs their population.
I respect data but Unz’s claims contradict my lived experience. Like Fred Reed claiming that Hispanics are smart.
What you saw with your own eyes in your own surroundings is not true because studies.
I think Ron likes seeing if he can argue against reality. The fact is, the data we have, tells us Hispanic crime rates are significantly higher than white crime rates. No where near black crime rates though.

Drugs are a form of pharmacological entrapment of young, naive people. I think it would be marvelous if the cartels were wiped out. They may be weak, they may have made poor choices. But the death of addicts is still a tragedy.
Wow, this screed could be from a NOI member or a Ayn Randy. You fail to realize we didn’t have a opioid epidemic until the Sackler family pushed Oxycontin and allowed pill mills to flourish across the country. Perdue Pharma(owned by the Sacklers) knows every pharma in the country that is a pill mill and ships them 100-1000x more pills than is needed. And the Sacklers are very much a foreign elite.

If Trump wanted to build the wall or restrict immigration, he would have done it by now. What he wants to do is give tax cuts to the rich and service Israel. When he told us that he wanted to build the wall, it was like a manipulative female telling an ugly guy that he’s handsome.
Trump is awful. Unfortunately, all the other choices are much worse.
You are wrong – not that I don’t share your frustration. Building walls and restricting immigration require political cooperation; DJT has been rather shrewd lately and – at a guess – the post-midterm GOP (however the outcome) seems to be more receptive to being led by the Donald. The whole point of Z-man’s post was that DJT can use the drug cartels as a reason to divert national attention to ‘the southern problem.’ Even the open borders post-nationalists can’t behave like they don’t care about the drug problem (even if they in fact don’t). Let’s see what the Donald does… Read more »
I believe trump had good intentions but simply had no idea what he was up against politically.

‘white people got tired of fighting for a ruling class that despises them’?
Actually non-whites are disproportionately represented in the enlisted male cadre of the US Army:

And Hispanic Marines are disproportionately represented in the KIA statistics in Iraq, a war started by white males (Bush and Cheney)
https://www.govexec.com/defense/2004/05/the-fallen-a-profile-of-us-troops-killed-in-iraq-and-afghanistan/16814/
Please. That bullshit has been debunked too many times. I’m not wasting my time on it again. If whites stop joining the military, we have no military. The same is true of the police and fire departments. If you doubt that, come to Lagos.
Yeah, that is because the majority of the country is white, so yeah the majority military is white as well. My point is that the armed forces in general are tired of fighting foreign wars for a ruling class that despises them, irrespective of race. But “your-side” to which race is like Viagra cannot see past race. No one is claiming that the military is a non-white military or that the military can sustain without whites signing up.
Then what was the point of your comment? The fact is, you have been programmed to react to race realism by going in to a NAXALT loop. That’s useless code in the demographic age.
Whites by and large operate in a “guilt culture”, blacks/Hispanics in a shame culture, and Arab Muslims in a fear culture. Impugning collective guilt onto us is what he’s doing. Perhaps he should go and shame some non-whites as to why they won’t vote GOP. Plenty of them will admit they consider it a “white party”.
UpYours, will your non-white brothers protect you when the time of judgement comes? Unfortunately, race is deeper than values. We can wish it wasn’t so, but you will be rewarded with a flaming tire on your head, eventually.
With a small feeling of sadness, I will laugh at you.
In 1981 I started a college literary magazine called “Up Yours”. It lasted less than one issue. A few years later – in a graduate school paper – I cited a spurious article from ‘Up Yours’, with all the references and annotations fully MLA- compliant.
So, in a sense, ‘Up Yours’ is real, as real as Comrade Ogilvie.
