GOVERNMENT IS JUST A WORD FOR THE THINGS WE DO TOGETHER: Fast & Furious Was Part of a US-Drug Cartel Alliance? “The US government has had a relationship with Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel since the Clinton administration. That relationship/alliance was used to damage Mexico’s other drug cartels, but at a great price: Sinaloa alone imports about 80% of the illegal drugs that make their way to Chicago.” Turns out you don’t have to be part of a legal corporation to benefit from cronyism.
