El Chapo – got the good shiz aight!
Lately we’ve heard a lot about El Chapo the greatest drug lord of all time. How about at the same time we also talk about perhaps Mexico should tax and regulate Cocaine instead? It would make a huge amount of money, and has plenty of airports to ship it out quickly. Instead of providing literally billions of dollars to an out of control armed militia.
Funny the parallel below to Al Capone. The Drug War is from the same international projection of a domestic psychos that brought you The Prohibition.
Here is an edited wikipedia entry:
In 2011 Forbes magazine ranked Guzmán as one of the most powerful people in the world every year (ranking 41st, 60th and 55th). He was named as the 10th richest man in Mexico (1,140th in the world) in 2011, with a net worth of roughly US$1 billion. The magazine also calls him the “biggest drug lord of all time”, and the US DEA estimates he has surpassed the influence and reach of Pablo Escobar, and now considers him “the godfather of the drug world”. In 2013, the Chicago Crime Commission named Guzmán “Public Enemy Number One” for the influence of his criminal network in Chicago, though there is no evidence that Guzmán has ever been in that city. The last person to receive such notoriety was Al Capone in 1930.
