The Arellano Felix Cartel willingly decided to bend over for Mexican and American lawmen this morning with the release of numerous narco messages prohibiting the sale of fentanyl.
Their sudden about-face is consistent with what the Cartel de Sinaloa have also done in recent weeks in order to draw law enforcement pressure away.
Needless to say their communiques went through the usual hypocritical motions of prohibiting the very poison that they didn’t have a problem selling to anyone before.
Due to the strong epidemic suffered by our country and our neighboring country. And while being faithful to our principles. We join the government's effort and the CDS initiative to eradicate the lethal drug known as fentanyl.
It’ll now be prohibited to sell as it initially was from our company. In addition, we will also prosecute and punish anyone who manufactures, sells, transports or crosses this drug over international borders.
Yours truly, The Tijuana Cartel
Banning selling it to who? Surely not Americans.
I can’t believe that a cartel would leave money on the table.
So this is most certainly just a deflection.
Not The Bee?
Sucks to be a Bee writer trying to stay ahead of the news!
Fentanyl is killing too many customers.
Fentanyl kills their customers. That’s a pretty crappy business model.
Is this a “good” drug cartel as in “good” Muslims?
Why ‘fight the fed’ when they are willing to help so much with your other business model of human trafficking?
Perhaps cartels are making so much money escorting people to the border “seeking asylum” that they don’t want to be bothered with fentanyl right now.
No doubt any number of their ventures are more profitable than fentanyl. I think this is a rare instance of what is profitable for the cartel aligning with law enforcement.
They are concerned about the ability of dead addicts to pay for any and all product(s) in the future...
Just like Big Pharma will never sell us something that will actually cure us (a well person doesn’t need medicine after all!), some of the smarter dope dealers don’t want to sell a good customer something that will take them out of the consumer pipeline.
Read between the lines.
The human trafficking, through Biden’s open borders, is WAY more profitable than smuggling cheap drugs across the border.
What is the going rate to smuggle one al qaida terrorist in to Texas?
The cartels have always operated within the margins, but make no mistake.... they understand that they cannot and will not withstand a full court press by the US government with maximum pressure on Mexican authorities.
They learned this when they killed the DEA agent (Kiki). Many of the headmen were taken out to include the big boss and they lost a LOT of money.
As others have said above, the cocaine, meth, and perhaps most importantly under this administration, human smuggling, are more than profitable and it will not incur the wrath of our government.
This an advertisement for the cartel. By your cocaine here! Now fentanyl free!
