Ovidio Guzmán: Judge Declares His Amparo Inadmissible
Translated Excerpt:
A federal judge in the State of Mexico declared inadmissible the injunction requested by Ovidio Guzmán López, son of El Chapo Guzmán, against the extradition order to the United States.
For the crimes of conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana. Ovidio aka El Raton was arrested in early January in Culiacan, Sinaloa. He is currently being held at the El Altiplano prison.
******
One step closer to extradition, but this is Mexico and, as imprisoning his father has shown, El Raton’s arrest will not stop the drugs flowing into the U.S.

4 Clandestine Methamphetamine Laboratories Located And Dismantled In Sanalona And Amatán: Sinaloa
Translated Excerpt:
Members of the Secretariat of the Navy located and dismantled four clandestine laboratories in the towns of Sanalona and Amatán, belonging to the municipality of Culiacán.
In the “narco laboratories”, the marines found approximately a little more than one ton of “crystal” in the process of drying and 9.7 tons of precursor chemical mass in the process of cooking, and that the Navy estimates that due to the production method, the amount of precursor found, and adding the drug in the drying process, would produce an approximate of 7.04 tons of methamphetamine, commonly known as “crystal”.
In the clandestine laboratories, 15 reactors, 32 condensers, 20 burners, approximately 3 thousand liters of acetone, 7 thousand 800 liters of dual-use substances, 2 thousand 600 kilograms of other chemicals and 400 liters of phenylacetic acid were also seized.
The Semar informed that after their location, the laboratories, chemical precursors and other material were dismantled.
***********
El Chapo is in jail in the U.S., El Raton is in jail in Mexico and the cartels haven’t missed a beat. For all the labs busted, ten times as many successfully produce and ship their product.

YMBI: Jackson’s 1824 election has some ‘interesting’ details/events’
‘CORRUPT BARGAIN’
Andrew Jackson received the most popular votes and the most electoral votes in the election of 1824. He did not become president.

Excerpt:
.....Jackson was the only candidate to attract significant support beyond his regional base, and his Jackson’s popularity foretold a new era in the making. When the final votes were tallied in the eighteen states requiring a popular vote, Jackson polled 152,901 votes to Adams’s 114,023; Clay won 47,217, and Crawford 46,979. The electoral college gave Jackson the highest total as well, but his 99 electoral votes electoral were 32 fewer than he needed for a majority and thus the presidency. Adams won 84 electoral votes followed by 41 for Crawford and 37 for Clay.
Acting under the Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution, the House of Representatives met to select the president from among the top three candidates. Henry Clay, as the candidate with the fewest electoral votes, was eliminated from the deliberation. As Speaker of the House, however, he became the most important player in determining the outcome of the election in the House, which took place in February 1825. With each state having one vote, as determined by the wishes of the majority of each state’s congressional representatives, Adams emerged as the winner with a one-vote margin of victory. Most of Clay’s supporters, joined by several old Federalists, switched their votes to Adams in enough states to give him the election. Soon after his inauguration, Adams appointed Clay as his secretary of state.
.....Jackson laid the blame on Clay, telling anyone who would listen that the Speaker had approached him with the offer of a deal: Clay would support Jackson in return for Jackson’s appointment of Clay as secretary of state. When Jackson refused, Clay purportedly made the deal with Adams instead. In Jackson’s words, Clay had sold his influence in a “corrupt bargain.”
.....Also, the loss of three states that Jackson had won in the popular vote—Illinois, Maryland, and Louisiana—due to the defection of congressmen who supported Adams suggests that more was involved in the outcome than the political maneuvering of one man. Enraged, Jackson resigned his seat in the Senate and vowed to win the presidency in 1828 as an outsider to Washington politics.
Within months of Adams’s inauguration, the Tennessee legislature nominated Jackson for president in 1828.
.....The 1828 campaign turned out more than twice the number of voters who had cast ballots in 1824—approximately 57 percent of the electorate. Jackson won the election in a landslide, and by a wide margin of 95 electoral votes. Adams carried New England, Delaware, part of Maryland, New Jersey, and sixteen of New York’s electoral votes—nine states in all. Jackson carried the remaining fifteen states of the South, Northwest, mid-Atlantic, and West. Incumbent Vice President John C. Calhoun won 171 electoral votes to 83 for Richard Rush of Pennsylvania, Adams’s running mate.
In four years, the “corrupt bargain” had yielded to “Jacksonian democracy.”
