Shit's about to pop off, but we don't know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

Edit: Official link for orders: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/

Cartels designated as terrorist organizations

Wait did he just crossed the CIA? Last president who tried got his head ventilated.

On the one hand, it'd be so fucking funny if they made a JFK sequel but on the other that'd be yet another crime for the CIA to get away with while they blame ~~the USSR~~ China for it

Anything to read about cartels and the alphabets?

[-] Kitathalla@lemy.lol 10 points 1 day ago

Hmm, I think starting with the getaway plane for the Kiki Camarena affair should get you started on the rabbit hole of the cia. The origins of the Zeta cartel is also a starting point.

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

The CIA as Organized Crime by Douglas Valentine or Operation Gladio by Paul L. Williams are good overviews

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, the Valentine book goes into Mexican cartels? Cool!

I've been meaning to read it anyway, thanks!

[-] Grapho@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Oh sorry I thought you meant criminal cartels in general, not just the Mexican ones. They're mentioned a little in the Valentine book but only in passing for Gladio. If you can get the translation, Los Señores del Narco does go into a bit more detail and I haven't read it but La CIA, Camarena y Caro Quintero by Esquivel apparently goes into it.

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
