-Guy Lawson

On the Part II of Rolling Stone’s coverage on the Drug War, Guy Lawson gives a really good over view on how the cartels operate in America. Unlike other US journalists who pretty much cover the drug war in Mexico with binoculars, Guy Lawson clearly describes how the cartels operate in America, and yet how their is NO cartel spill over violence like so many politicians and idiot reporters want you to believe.

-Guy Lawson

Outdated, yet very interesting video on the drug war by Rolling Stone.

-Ross Kemp

Yet another really good documentary on the drug war. This time, on an episode of Extreme World, Ross Kemp looks into the violence in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua Mexico.

“The Mexican government is a narco-terrorist criminal state that abuses and dominates its own people..”
- Alex Jones

While I’m fan of Alex Jones, he can finally say something completely true without sounding like a total wack job. He hits the nail on the head in all aspects of unmasking the Mexican government, militarizing the border, and decriminalizing drugs.

In an interview with a Utah local news anchor, he states that he hopes everybody who voted to pass the Arizona SB 1070 law (70% of Arizona voters according to the Center of Immigration Studies) , should all burn in hell.
