For those who don't know, Los Zetas are no joke. They were formed by ex-Mexican Special Forces soldiers and quickly became the most brutal cartel in Mexico. The fact that CJNG took them on and adopted the nickname of "Zeta Killers" speaks volumes.

At a drug caucus hearing June 11, senators heard testimony from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and several experts. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the caucus co-chair, began her remarks by noting: “The illicit drug trade is a business, valued at anywhere between $426 [billion] and $652 billion. Its reach is global. Its distribution is growing. Its leadership is criminal.” Those numbers come from a 2017 study by Global Financial Integrity, a Washington think tank studying illicit flows of money. The report estimated $426 billion to $652 billion in the retail value of transnational drug-trafficking crime.

Great video, the intro gave me goosebumps at 1:54. However it is important to note that a lot of the equipment and weapons used by cartels such as Los Zetas, or CJNG are smuggled into Mexico by "gun runners," and for those who don't know, the entire purpose of the Bureau of ATF was to stop that kind of organized crime, relating to their acronym. (If you know much about the ATF's current state, they kinda abandoned that ideology.)

Delta Force and SEAL team 6 are obviously highly trained operators with a lot of cool gear, tools and assets..But what really gave them teeth and massive operational success over the course of the GWOT was the industrial intelligence infrastructure behind them. Delta and SEALs didn’t destroy entire Al Qeada cells and rat line’s because they were best shooters and warfighters in the world; it was because JSOC could take the captured intelligence from the battlefield and process it into actionable context at the (speed of war.) JSOC is a global network that was designed to (destroy) networks and that comes from the giant analytical and support nucleus of JSOC. They asked former Delta Operator Bob Keller on a podcast what a war would like between American tier 1 SOF and the Cartels…. Bob said almost instantly- “It would be over in a week”

It seemed like every time we got to a certain level, our CI or witness disappeared. It was very frustrating. I-5 is a lot like I-95 out east for being a fast funnel from Mexico 🇲🇽 to Canada 🇨🇦. Small towns along the way sometimes were the drop-off warehouses for either pickup and continuation or dispersal. My baliwick was 18 wheelers. Sometimes the driver knew and sometimes not. Got really hairy a couple of times when the driver didn't believe I was a cop and thought I was hijacking his load.

You should do one about the ongoing war between the remnants of Los Zetas (Cartel del Noreste) vs The Gulf Cartel (Cartel del Golfo). It’s been going on for 13 years now with no end in sight and it’s happening in the small border (frontera Chica) in Mexicos Tamaulipas State directly across the US Border. The warzone is located between the Cities of Reynosa and Nuevo Laredo. They go at it multiple times a week and you can hear the firefights from the US side regularly. Even Fox News and some correspondents were there one night in Roma, TX with CBP agents and Army National Guard Soldiers and they could hear the gun battle raging on the other side the camera even captured tracers flying back and forth. The news never reports it in Mexico, very little people know it’s happening unless you live on the border or have family living in that part of Mexico.

Americans have no clue. They are protected

I download your videos to listen to while i work out, holy crap it gets me hype listening to the stories about the Hero Vets.

I watched all your vids in one day the spec op ones have those sick 80s hard beats and this one has amazing Mexican music and the editing is just so good so glad I found this channel.

This was the most entertaining mini doc you have ever made in my opinion. Just the way it was all told, perfect.

This is your best video yet, not to much editing (like last video) and very hype and entertaining. This and Waco are the best videos you’ve ever made

Great job. Thank you for the content

I'm amazed by how cinematic this brief documentary was! Sincere kudos!

Love your videos man. You shed a light to what’s really going on. Stay safe and I’ll share your videos as much as I can

If you guys want to know more about the Zetas and their history, including some of their training in School of the Americas, read the book "Hijo de la Guerra" it's in Spanish but maybe you will find it translated. The book is about El Z 9, one of the founding members and special operators and his story. The writer is not 100 percent sure it is him but it's still a great book regardless.

So this is the second time this happened? Los Zetas themselves were also American trained to fight the cartels and became first body guards for the other cartels before they themselves became a cartel.

I think he’s got that part mixed up. Los Zetas, the original zetas, were trained at Fort Bragg and deserted to become an armed wing of The Gulf Cartel.

Great videos man. Went on a binge through your channel

Love the music and the dedication you have to make these high quality videos 🙏

Hey, Popo Medic. Love the content that you do, but man, you got quite some things incorrect in this video. Just a quick warning beforehand, this is going to be an extremely long post. 1. First mistake, Los Zetas were the ones who were ex Mexican special forces. They were the ones who were trained by the USA at Fort Bragg not CJNG. 2. Can someone please explain to me where this idea came from that Mexican cartels were collaborating with Hispanic gangs to eliminate American gangs and that is why there is now less gang violence in America? Has this always been around or is this something recent? Because I personally had never heard of this conspiracy theory until like a month ago when I saw a clip of Peter Zahian talking about it on the Joe Rogan show. But moving on, the reason there has been less gang violence in America is because of law enforcement. Law enforcement really crack downed on a lot of gangs in the 2000’s. Leaderships were hit with RICO charges and mass snitching was taking place as part of plead deals. All of this led to the weakening and downfall of many powerful gangs. It wasn’t because Mexican cartels were working with Mexican gangs to commit genocide on black gangs and wipe them out. There are currently over 33,000 gangs operating in America. If the Mexican cartels were trying to eliminate American gangs, then they did a real shit job at it. www.fbi.gov/investigate/violent-crime/gangs en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gangs_in_the_United_States 3. Los Zetas were not a small upcoming gang in 2008. They had been around since 1997. Their influence and membership had grown a lot up until this point when it outnumbered the Gulf Cartel, which is why they decided to split off from the Gulf Cartel and become their own separate group. They split off sometime around 2010, but they were not small by any means. 4. This is a ridiculously small detail, but Oscar Nava Valencia (leader of the Milenio cartel) was captured by the Mexican military not the police. 5. Mexican special forces did not quit the military to join Los Mata Zetas (CJNG). You are confusing the origins of Los Mata Zetas with Los Zetas, who were made up of ex Mexican special forces. It’s honestly surprising that you got Los Zetas origins mixed up since their origins is well known. Also, the only thing that cartel special forces and actual military special forces have in common is just the name special forces. That is the only thing. The idea that most of the people that make up any cartel are militarily trained, or ex special forces is bullshit that people began spreading around the internet because of Los Zetas. And it was only like the first 30 original members of Los Zetas that were actually militarily trained. Pretty much everyone who joined Los Zetas afterwards was just a bunch drug addicts with guns. It has been more than two whole decades since Los Zetas were first formed, and there has never been another cartel that was made up of ex-military like Los Zetas. Are there times when a soldier will desert and join a cartel? Absolutely. That has happened, but these types of people do not make up the majority in any cartel and they do not make up most of the Mexican military. If you take a look at most pictures of dead sicarios, you will notice that the majority of them are very thin or seriously overweight. Any professionally trained military squadron could easily take on the cartels in a gun fight. Even the Mexican Military is usually the ones who come out on top in a gunfight. Just look at the kill rate. You cannot tell me that the military and cartel sicarios have the same level of training. (www.nytimes.com/2016/05/27/world/americas/mexican-militarys-high-kill-rate-raises-human-rights-fears.html ). 6. The Sinaloa cartel did not shut down half of the country after the recapture of Ovidio Guzman. That’s nowhere near close to what actually happened. Majority of the violence took place within the city of Culiacán and only spilled a little bit into surrounding states, but the Mexican military retook control of the city less than 24 hours after the first gunshots were heard in Jesus Maria (the small town where Ovidio was captured). Also, the violence in Zacatecas didn’t start after Ovidio had been captured because CJNG finally saw that CDS was weak. CJNG and CDS had already been fighting over Zacatecas for months, way before the capture of Ovidio. 7. And finally, CJNG is not trying to get into America. CJNG is already in America. There was a huge operation performed by law enforcement in America two years ago, which resulted in a bunch of arrests of CJNG. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o46Y1cZ9Z5fKeag.html Project Python was an operation carried out by US Law Enforcement, which resulted in 600 arrests of CJNG members. www.justice.gov/opa/pr/dea-led-operation-nets-more-600-arrests-targeting-c-rtel-jalisco-nueva-generaci-n The cartels are fucking stupid, but they know better than to start shooting and massacring American citizens. They know they won’t be able to get away with that shit in America. That would bring a lot of heat and unnecessary attention to them. They are better off operating in the shadows. For the record, there is a lot of misinformation circulating around cartels, so I don't blame you. Just hoping this clarifies some things. :)

This is literally a documentary, amazing quality for a KZread video. Well done

Very impressed indeed by the quality of you work. Instant sub.

Remember when the Taliban started getting all our equipment when we bailed out? Now imagine Cartels getting the same treatment, but either with drug money and or jerry rigging it, down to the armored APC’s. That’s what CJNG is from my understanding. It’s went from street gang cartels to being equivalent to the Mexican Army

Fantastic directing/editing/narrating as usually brother

Your editing skills and imagination for creativity are going through the roof man!

Very good work. I love how you started from beginning to end, explaining the rise and fall of each operation, in order. And also having real footage, instead of most people using movie clips.

Yo, this puts me on the edge of my seat every time I see your videos.. they are absolutely 1000x better than any Netflix serious about drugs and cartel. Ohn Gawd!

What a awesome video u made 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the music was tense

couldn’t help but admire how well made this video is

what an amazing short documentary..Absolutely loved the ''God Father'' type scenes of the Priest speaking while the cartel was doing what they do best. Popo's best short in my opinion.

The fact that US vets trained these guys is horrid. The men that swore to defend the US are destroying it by doing this.
