BERTRAND DAILY REPORT 04/10/2019 FORMER U.S. MARINE (now cartel boss) "DEMOCRATS CRY FOUL" AS PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A THREAT TO DRUG OPERATIONS!

BERTRAND DAILY REPORT  The War For Your Mind & Soul Continues 

Subject: Former U.S. Marine NOW Mexican Drug Cartel Boss Speaks-out, Trump a Direct Threat to Drug Operations, Dems Cry Foul--Videos

Friends and Associates:

The 'Open Source Intelligence' is NOT restricted to the public, but should be used to understand the growing drug war in Mexico and areas to avoid as summer vacations in places like Cancun should be considered dangerous.

Below my commentary is a report / document reference a U.S. Marine that heads-up a Mexican Drug Cartel as their boss. A note to the contributor or anyone that emails a sensitive document to Bertrand Daily Report. If you don't want it published, don't send it to me.....
___________________________________________________________________________________

I agree with current assessments (in the videos) that Americans and Canadians, being targets by violent drug gangs are far and few between, however....ending-up as a casualty by being in the wrong place at the wrong time can lead to being a victim of a drug dispute.

The targets by the Drug Cartel throughout Mexico are police, military, local government officials, journalists, and competing elements attempting territorial control.

It hasn't diminished because of Trump, but has increased substantially.....

My best advise for anyone heading to Cancun, stay in the confines of your hotel at night and do not venture into clubs where drug dealing is paramount....and definitely DO NOT venture into the back streets behind the hotels located away from the beach. Been there, done it, got the t-shirt....

The situation in Mexico is equivalent to visiting Kabul for a vacation and until such time the Trump Administration acknowledges the danger is no different than the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and because America is basically under attack....evident of the drug wars in Chicago and Los Angeles, there might come the time for a U.S. military invasion to wipe-out all known cartel strongholds in Mexico. 

Mexico and the Dems would go nuts on that one !!

The Mexican Drug Cartel took advantage of Bill Clinton's NAFTA deal that expanded cross-trading and a new means to smuggle drugs via cargo shipments. The pay-offs to Mexican officials are what keeps the Drug Cartels in business. Government officials that refuse pay-offs are usually murdered and their heads cut-off and placed on full display for others to see as a warning. At least in Kabul Afghanistan, you won't lose your head...

Before NAFTA, the CIA operation in Mena Arkansas was given cover by Bill Clinton, as the Attorney General and later as Governor, and massive amounts of cocaine from Central America were re-distributed to most every large American city.

When a news reporter blew the Mena drug running operation wide-open, Congress stepped-in and Mena was shutdown, therefore...an alternate means for drug trafficking was established in Mexico under the guise of NAFTA. Bill Clinton was president and later Bush Jr. (both are known coke heads along with Jeb Bush) to carry-on drug operations. The rest of the story is still with us today, thanks to NAFTA, Clinton, and Bush.

Why does the CIA use different obscured operators and cartel to ship-in drugs to the United States? Think "Black Budget" funding (money laundering), facilitating a false flag 'Drug War' to expand the 'Police State' targeting Blacks, the destruction of families, welfare expansion for Black mothers (who vote Democrat) and a prison system that builds your kid's school furniture, etc....

Quite an elaborate operation by the Democrat Communist Party and many Blacks don't even know the extent of how they are targets. Once a sector of society is destroyed with financial hardships and police action, the Dems reach-out to them and claim racism, promising "Change."

The real 'Drug War' is in Mexico and military action inside Mexico would solve most of the drug trafficking problems inside America. Fentanyl should be the best excuse now, since 300 Americans die each day from what is happening in Mexico, along with China working behind the scenes to facilitate the Mexican Drug Cartel with Fentanyl.

It's all a well planned invasion of America with out firing a shot......

BRIEFER’S COMMENT:

While the attached report contains raw information requiring further evaluation, sufficient data was uncovered to classify this report as significant intelligence.  It has become most noticeable over the past five years that operations on the southern Border to the United States have developed in a sophisticated manner, including, but not limited to:  communications, over-watch locations, tactics avoiding law enforcement, transporting drugs and human trafficking, and active engagements with competing cartels.  Somewhat quickly the idea that military training had become part of the cartels activities, and the attached report sheds some light on this working theory. ~LJR

(U//FOUO) SOURCE DESCRIPTION: An English-language media outlet based out of Canada.
(U//FOUO) SOURCE CONTEXT: A Toronto, Canada based media outlet focused on domestic and international news stories.

(U//FOUO) TEXT:

1. (U//FOUO) Source conducted an interview of a masked male individual who was identified only by a pseudonym of "Manuel" (See Attachment 01). Manuel claimed to be a Sinaloa cartel boss in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. During the interview, Manuel discussed several areas for which he, as the cartel boss, is responsible for such as the techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) used by the Sinaloa cartel for both violence and drug trafficking. Also during the interview, Manuel discussed his personal reasons for joining the cartel and the usefulness of his military experiences gained through serving in the US Marine Corps.

2. (U//FOUO) The interview was recorded in a protected hotel room. Manuel hid his face and disguised his voice, and was guarded by a masked bodyguard armed with a rifle. Manuel was also armed with a pistol. At one point in the interview, a second masked and armed bodyguard joined them, and Manuel explained that reinforcements come whenever he is off his phone for more than 15 minutes. In a separate video (See Attachment 02), Manuel's voice is not disguised and Manuel describes the killing a rival gang member.

3. (U//FOUO) Manuel showed Source an old photograph of a man wearing a United States Marine Corps (USMC) uniform with the American flag and Marine Corps flag behind the man, and Manuel claimed that this was him. He stated he was stationed in Afghanistan twice, and that his military experience helped his work in the cartel with regards to the violence required, recruiting, and staying safe in a war zone. Manuel claimed he joined the cartel and worked as an assassin for money.

4. (U//FOUO) Manuel explained that the violence in Playa del Carmen and Cancun, Mexico is a result of the increased US border security posture. He stated that he is responsible for trafficking 300 kilograms of cocaine a month, and while he can still move it across the US border from Mexico, it had become too expensive to do so, and the cocaine would not sell as well in the United States because of the increased cost. So to avoid crossing the United States-Mexico border and to also reduce the cost of selling the drugs, the cartel changed its sales tactics and now focuses on selling drugs within tourist areas throughout Mexico. Other cartels have experienced the same effect on sales by attempting to cross the US border, so they are all fighting for the market in Playa del Carmen and Cancun, Mexico resulting in the increased murders and violence in the area. Manuel explained that while they are not allowed to get in trouble with tourists, they disregard that rule if the cartel's safety is threatened.

5. (U//FOUO) Manuel claimed that the Mexican government and police take money from the cartels any chance they get and that it is a cost of doing business. He explained that the extreme violence of the cartels, such as dismemberment, are attributable to a few reasons: hatred for the opposing cartel, a desire to stoke fear, and even the killer's own signature on the victims' bodies.
