Guest Weary&Disgusted Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The general was defence minister in Mexico from 2012 to 2018. During this time, he is alleged to have rigged things so that the H2 cartel, who are infamous for their willingness to torture and murder, could "operate with impunity" in Mexico. No wonder the "War on Drugs" never seems to make any serious headway. You only need one very highly placed official to be corrupt, and the rot sets in. Apparently the General fixed things so that similarly corrupt minor officials could be appointed into posts where they could help him keep the heroin and cocaine flowing into The US. They have arrested him, so there is one big fish caught, but god alone knows how many of these shameless figures are still operating within the Mexican state. There are police, army and intelligence officers who risk their lives on a daily basis to try to stop drugs coming into the States. Then there are monsters like this guy undermining their every effort. The extent of his duplicity and betrayal is hard to calculate, but it will be what he is remembered for.

ChildeHarold Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 While we are here can anyone explain to me why Sicario was such a blinding film and Sicario II was such utter shit? And why does every Hollywood film going back to the 60s stereotype Mexico as a God forsaken shithole? The only film that I've come across breaks that mould is Stones From Ibarra with Glen Close and Keith Caradine, nice gentle drama. The Eisenstein silent film on the Mexican Revolution is great too.

I havent seen either of the Sicario fillums. I'm so far behind with TV and movies I'll probably be watching these in my 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a country which could be a farming and chemicals powerhouse, if it was allowed to develop, but it keeps being dragged back into the gutter by the narcos. It may not be a significant player on the world stage, but it has become an open wound which needs to be tended to. Instead of being a useful nation to trade with,as it could be, its a resources sink and a source of corruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to give a politician's answer, yes and no. Yes, because there is much untapped potential in the country and parts of it are stunningly beautiful (rather than the desert it is usually depicted as), and the people are resilient and interesting. No, because the heroin/cocaine issue is massive and casts a long long shadow over everything. Hollywood tends to exaggerate things, but when it comes to the influence of the cartels, they actually tend to downplay it, probably because the extent of their corrupting influence is hard to take in at first. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't argue with that. They're caught between the psycho armies of the cartels and the never ending demand of a large market. There is no quick solution.

Try watching series 1-3 of Narcos. Series 3 explains why Mexico is portrayed as a shithole. Here's a spoiler: Because it is a fucking shithole.
