Your own administration during, “Operation Fast and Furious” facilitated and approved the transfer of over 2,000 weapons to the Mexican Drug Cartels who the Mexican Government is at war against and over 60,000 people have been killed. Those same weapons have made their way back into the United States and have been used to kill and injure our citizens and members of law enforcement, yet now you threaten to use From David Galland, Managing Director, Casey Research: Every nation-state has a body of laws woven into the fabric of society. As Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto has commented on extensively, the stronger the rule of law, the stronger the economy. And by “stronger” laws, I mean laws that are impervious to tampering for personal or political gains. The connection between a sound judiciary and economic health is readily comprehensible, except maybe to [...] HSBC also understood the subtleties of – and were, apparently, fully invested in – money laundering for drug kingpins and terror cells, while ignoring U.S. sanctions established against rogue nations. HSBC’s US unit managed to position the brand in this way by accepting $7 billion of dollars from Mexican drug cartels, conducting 25,000 Iranian transactions totaling over $19 billion in just one week, and helping Saudi banks with terror financing for [...] by Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone:

The six-foot-high corridor ran from a store in an abandoned strip mall near Yuma to an ice shop across the border in San Luis Rio Colorado.
