In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the recent fall of El Mencho and reveals Mexico’s ongoing chaos. This is a complex web of power, influence, and conspiracy that could reshape your understanding of Mexico and the U.S. relationship. Explore the cause-and-effect behind Mexico’s escalating violence, tracing history from the PRI’s control to today’s brutal turf wars. We break down how U.S. policies like Plan Mexico fueled the chaos and questions whether political corruption has become so intertwined with organized crime that governments themselves are disguised cartels. You’ll discover how leaders like AMLO and his successors may be complicit or manipulated, and what lies beneath the surface of headlines about cartel takedowns. We dive into shocking theories— from alleged blackmail files featuring Hollywood elites to leaders being myths. Whether you’re a geopolitical junkie, a concerned citizen, or simply curious about the unseen forces shaping the headlines, this episode offers critical insights you won’t find elsewhere.
