During Chapo’s Son Arrest, Sinaloa Cartel attacked Mexican authorities with American Military NATO Weapons.

MEXICO. — During the arrest of el Chapo’s son im Coauila Mexico, many asked why the Mexican authorities let him go. President Manuel Andres Lopez Obrador explains the release was approved by him and his cabinet in order to save lives. “The death toll estimated was about 200 people at risk of being killed.” AMLO explains.

Many criticized the move and and say his decision showed weakness from the part of his government.

But in a recent publication by SDP Nation, the newspaper clearly uncovered recent images which helps explain the reason behind the President’s decision to approve his cabinet recommendation to stop the operation which became strongly concerned about the many lives that were at risk the day of the operative.

During the operation to capture Chapo’s son, it shocked residents and Mexican authorities, when the Cartel took out their weapons, to find out that the Sinaloa Cartel was in possession of a Browning M2 machine gun, exclusive to the United States Army.

The Browning M2 machine gun can be use to shoot down passenger air planes.

The weapon makes 450 to 550 shots per minute and uses a 12.7 x 99 NATO .50 caliber cartridge, also used in heavy sniper rifles and long-range rifles, for its great lethality in wars.

Photographs and videos of the events that occurred on October 17 in the capital of Sinaloa show the use of the .50 caliber weapons mounted on several vans and trucks.

This machine gun is of main use within the member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO, and it’s designed to shoot down low-altitude aircraft, cross vessels with armor and fortifications of little protection.

“The manufacturing of these machine guns are highly regulated by the United States and the pentagon. How a Mexican cartel got their hands an tightly control weapons?” Says, Mauricio Rodriguez from Chapusero Today.

When Mexican authorities took noticed of the highly lethal machine capable of shooting 500 shoots a minute, the Mexican National Security cabinet and President Lopez Obrador gave the order to the National Guard to retrieve from the operative.

The Chapo’s son capture was an operative conducted at the behest of the DEA from an order originated from a United States federal judge in Washington D.C. Immediately, Mexican authorities recognized that they were in the middle of an international situation and decided not to disclose information until a thorough investigation could be conducted to find out who or how an American Military highly lethal weapon end up in Mexican territory in the hands of criminals.

Right after the shooting event in Culiacan, Sinaloa, President Trump directly called Mexican President Lopez Obrador giving his sympathy and offering support. Mexico’s secretary of exterior, Marcelo Ebrard, said that in the call between Donald Trump and Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the issue of arms trafficking was discussed, since the armament of the Sinaloa Cartel is one that is used by the United States military. “Therefore, actions will be taken to freeze arms trafficking.” Said Ebrard.

More details of that phone call weren’t disclosed. Ebrard said that ongoing investigation and follow up conversations with American authorities will follow in upcoming weeks.

Meanwhile, in Washington, house speaker Nancy Pelosi have requested an investigation on the DEA operations in Mexico. The democrats seek to know the role of the agency in the failed capture of Ovidio Guzmán. Pelosi’s calculations.

The scandal of this magnitude involves the American authorities for two reasons a) who on the U.S. Army illegally sold a high caliber machine to a cartel? And b) why the Mexican authorities were given the wrong intel by their American counterpart DEA who reported the Sinaloa cartel had diminished and therefore the arrest could be executed without much resistance. It was later uncovered, after the failed capture, that the Sinaloa cartel had merged with another strong cartel called Mayo. The merger of these two cartels was explained at the Chapo Trial in Brooklyn, New York. The reason why this was not known by American and Mexican special agency called GEAR reminds unclear.

A week has gone by, and all the blame for the failed operation has been directed at the progressive president of Mexico AMLO, and his national security cabinet. Vice News reported the “Shoot-Out Over Chapo’s Son Is a Major 'Clusterfuck' for Mexico’s President.” AFP wrote that Mexico admiring freeing Chapo’s son was 'badly planned' operation, and the Washington Post pointed out the Gun battle involving El Chapo’s son highlights growing challenges to Mexican government control.

In a question by a Bloomberg reporter at AMLO’s press conference this Thursday, AMLO was asked if he knew about the Chapo’s son capture operation. The president answered that he didn’t know about it until the very minute when chaos explored in Ciluacan, Sinaloa which many locals described it as a scene from a war zone.

In Washington, approval for for the 2020 budget is on its way and pressures to reactivate the Merida treaty with Mexico has not been successful since a Democrat senator from New Jersey described the 10-year war-on-drugs a failure. Likewise, Mexican president Lopez Obrador have said in many occasions during his press conference that the war on drugs was a failed strategy(aka Marerida Initiative), in that it generated more violence, and it only “turned Mexico into a mass graveyard”. In other words, there was an increased in crime levels never seen in Mexico’s history.

Lopez Obrador has explained there were more death people during ex-president Calderon and EPN ‘s war on drugs (12 years), than those who die during the Mexican Revolution. Therefore, from the start of his administration, the president ended the violent war on drugs and a more intelligent and comprehensive strategy has been put into place.

The focus on this new strategy is on removing the tremendous income inequality and poverty reates that left 61% of the population devastated and poor, during the neoliberal economic model imposed in Mexico for 36 year. Salaries in Mexico went from the highest in Latin America, to the lowest in the world ($4.50 dollars par day, today). The neoliberal economic model ended since Lopez Obrador took office in 2019 — mix economy is now used.
