I remember in California when The Nut Tree, a gas station/ restaurant and truck stop on Interstate 80 just East of the Bay Area, was knows for drug exchanges. And that mention of Salinas in the song “Me and Bobby McGee” reminds me of the major drug deals there, with all the migrant workers and its proximity to the major highways.

Viscious latino drug cartels are setting themselves up for mob rule on US soil. Even as we type, Mexican and Columbian drug cartels are waging war in border towns to carve out their turf.

Drug cartels envision huge profits now that Mexican trucks are hauling on US highways--- the trucks are easily loaded up with drugs and illegal aliens (drug runners) with no fear of L/E-----b/c Bush authorized this atrocity.

The longterm plan is to takeover the US government to change the foundation of our Nation from the rule of law to mob rule.

And on the East Coast you'll find latino drug lords living in luxury.

NEWS STORY Two more men have been arrested in connection with a drug ring that authorities say smuggled more than 1,000 kilos of cocaine into the country each month and made a million dollars a week.

Jose Tapia, 33, and Arsenio Alejo, 41, were arrested and charged with conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute. Both men were being held in lieu of bail set at $500,000 each.

The DEA announced they had dismantled a drug trafficking ring, arresting a latino couple and five others, following a 14-month investigation.

Police seized some $2 million in cash and 150 pounds of cocaine, worth roughly $2 million on the street, according to prosecutors.

The latinon couple, Vicente Esteves, 35, and his wife, Chantal, 30, lived in a multimillion dollar home in an upscale New Jersey neighborhood that had a 30-seat home theater and a dance floor with a DJ booth, authorities said.

He had about 100 Rolex watches, and she had boxes and boxes of Prada shoes that cost $500 to $1,000 a pair, authorities said.

Prosecutors say Vicente Esteves ran the drug operation out of his home and used two companies as fronts to launder drug money.

Just heard on Lou Dobbs that Bush has found an executive branch way around this and enacted a pilot program of three years time.
