The next major terror attack on the Americas will be executed by a drug
cartel.
I wouldn't be surprised if they try to kill the entire Mexican senate, or a major attempt on a political figure here....


They are going to have be nutered with a change in the drug laws.

And, for the hardheads, extermination. Sorry, this shit is about to really to hit the fan.

2. Should I duct tape myself into a room?
And if the shit's about to hit the fan, should we declare a "code brown"?

3. IT's ALREADY HAPPENED!
Thousands of Americans dead each year because millions have no health insurance and no prescription coverage.

The terrorists are their fellow americans who do nothing to help because they think they are immune to the problem.

4. That makes absolutely no fucking sense whatsoever
Why would the drug cartels want to risk bringing the full weight of the United States to bear on them? The drug cartels are about one thing, and one thing only - making MONEY. Committing violence against your rivals and potential witnesses is one thing. It would be sheer suicide on their part to perpetrate a major terrorist attack on US soil. This isn't some third-world country that they can expect to coerce into submission. They know that any major attack on US soil would bring about swift and brutal retaliation, regardless of who is in power at the time. It would seriously hamper their business, possibly even destroy their cartels.

5. Been watching to many movies lately? Netflix can be dangerous.
So the cartels who make billions upon billions of dollars would risk an open attack on the US.

Do you remember the weeks after 9/11? Think back. No political discourse, no fighting in Congress, just swift (and in some instances unwarranted) action.

Bombs would be falling over Mexico blasting cartel warehouses, houses, drug labs into pieces within a few days.

Cartel bosses would see their net worth evaporate at a rate of millions per hour. Everything they built up over the last 2 decades would be gone within a week.

Why? Because it is makes a good Hollywood script? Because it would be cool?

6. Maybe it's a "Clear and Present Danger"
and we'll need our military to act.

7. why an overt takeover
when they can just run their own candidate in the next election? whose to say the current president isn't owned and operated by one of the cartels?

8. Well, just remember that the shit has ALWAYS been just about to hit the fan.
If you can dance and enjoy life, even while nervously looking over your shoulder, you win.

Throughout human history, someone always plays the you and someone always plays the me. Sometimes I'm the you and sometimes you're the me.

Nothing of real value is passed back and forth in the transaction except another way of viewing the same situation.

But it does have utility- like a leather belt between the teeth during a Civil War amputation.

:shrug:

9. Until the drug cartels start killing innocent US citizens, I say , let them
kill each other off.
We don't have the money to get involved in their drug war.

11. never happen. The cartels are making their money in the black market
their foot soldiers are the only ones fighting and dying. The drug lords sit in their offices and would appear unmistakably just like an arms seller or government contractor. They love the status quo

12. Big Pharma has been 'attacking' us, and will continue
The teevee is constantly spouting class action lawsuit commercials for some fucked up drug gone awry that killed or harmed tons of citizens.
