4-3-20 The removal of Captain Brett Crozier from the command of the 5,000-person vessel was announced by acting US Navy Secretary Thomas Modly, who said the commander exercised poor judgement….Captain Crozier called for “decisive action”: removing over 4,000 sailors from the ship and isolating them….The Navy’s move was criticised by Democratic Senator Mark Warner, who said the Navy needed people willing to speak up for sailors. He said that Crozier, by his actions, appeared to be a patriot “just trying to do what’s best for his crew.”
President Donald Trump, when asked about the captain during a news conference at the White House, said he did not agree with the suggestion that it appeared Crozier was being removed for trying to save the lives of sailors.
“I don’t agree with that at all, not at all, not even a little bit,” Trump said. https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3078211/us-navy-removes-commander-coronavirus-hit-aircraft

Terry Cole was a high-ranking Special Agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration. He served in some of the most complex parts of the world, with more than 22 years in the DEA. He was posted in Oklahoma, Texas, Colombia, Mexico, and Afghanistan during his career….
“U.S. law enforcement passes locations of meth labs, fentanyl labs, cocaine loads, bulk money movements, and fugitive locations that more than often fall on deaf ears,” Cole contends. “There just isn’t a willingness to do anything” in response, he adds.
The Chinese have established themselves as the global leader in money laundering, fentanyl distribution, and precursor chemical manufacturing/distribution. They often launder money at zero cost to the drug trafficking organization because they send all the cash to China, and the Chinese government has a unique way of currency manipulation that allows money launderers to make their profit on the back end. We often consider this ‘state-sponsored narco-trafficking.’ The Mexican government refuses to investigate, arrest or even prosecute, saying there is a lack of evidence in the case. Bad actors among law enforcement, military and bureaucratic officials are deeply involved….
Remember, China launders money for criminals and terrorist organizations like Hamas around the world and does it at zero percent interest. It has been going on for a very long time….
As I mentioned earlier, the American people have spent billions of taxpayer dollars in Mexico to stem the flow of narcotics into the U.S. and to build up the government’s ability to combat the cartels. Billions spent, and what do they have to show for it? Very little if you ask me. The Mexican government at the highest level is complicit and works hand-in-hand with these cartels at every level of manufacturing, transportation, and distribution.
Elite units like SEMAR (Mexico’s Navy) are entirely sidelined and not allowed to go after cartel leadership by the current administration….
I would estimate it to be approximately 10 to 15 chemists that work for the Sinaloa Cartel.
JJ: How many fentanyl labs do you believe are operating across Mexico?
TC: The Sinaloa Cartel–I would say between 10 to 20 fentanyl labs.
JJ: What kind of numbers of fentanyl pills are we talking about that just these 10 to 20 labs could produce in a single day?
TC: The labs use large, industrial grade pill presses. They are capable of producing millions of pills collectively in a single day. The price point to produce one fentanyl pill is literally pennies on the dollar.
JJ: Do these chemists actively work in the labs, or do they oversee technicians?
TC: No, they actively work in the labs. We know some also continue teaching as professors at the universities. In 2019, Mexican authorities–based on U.S. law enforcement information–raided a Sinaloa Cartel fentanyl lab in a large industrial park in Monterrey, Mexico. That lab was enclosed entirely and was more of what we call a “superlab.”
U.S. law enforcement had the information for months, and the Mexican authorities refused to execute warrants. So, U.S. law enforcement had to utilize some of our most trusted partners to get the job done. It was extremely frustrating because each day that passed, we knew that literally thousands of pills were flooding the streets and killing our citizens. For months upon months, the Mexican authorities did absolutely nothing. U.S. law enforcement believed high-level Mexican corruption stalled the operations.
