Bet it was his stunt double! That just means more bloodshed in my neck of the woods.

I was reading a article a few weeks back about how Guzman would provide the US with information on other cartels and there whereabouts and get a pass to do what he wants. Maybe his contract with our government was up or maybe he stopped paying. The NSA has the ability to pinpoint exactly where you are in your home through a satellite, your telling me these mother fuckers couldn't find him for 13 years ya right. It's all a game, they lock this guy up someone will take his place so quick and tens of thousands will be killed until that rank is filled...

Marijuana is the cartel's #1 import to the USA and #1 money maker. Now that the shit is legal everywhere they have to find other things to do. The money will NOT slow up the hustle will just change. More woman/kids kidnapped and sold on the black market and the mass import of heavier drugs as they try to get more and more people hooked which won't be hard.

Well looks like El Chapo got busted.. He is in Mexico, The feds are trying to extradite

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/mexican-drug-kingpin-39-el-chapo-39-guzman-180633951.html


The ld's most wanted drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, was captured Saturday by Mexican marines and publicly hauled away in handcuffs, ending his blood-stained reign after a 13-year manhunt.

Stemming from US-Mexican coordination, the arrest deals a blow to the Sinaloa cartel, Mexico's biggest drug-trafficking organization, an empire that stretches along the Pacific coast and smuggles drugs to the United States, Europe and Asia.

Guzman was captured at 6:40 am local time in the Pacific beach city of Mazatlan, Sinaloa state, along with an unidentified associate "without a single shot fired," Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said.

"There was no damage and nobody was hurt," Murillo Karam said in a brief news conference in a Mexico City navy base where Guzman was later paraded in front of television cameras.

The 56-year-old Sinaloa cartel kingpin wore a white shirt and jeans and sported thick black hair and a mustache.

He was flanked by two masked marines who held him by the arms and neck before hauling him inside a federal police helicopter, on his way to prison.

The United States -- which hailed Guzman's downfall as "a landmark achievement" -- had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Guzman, who is accused of being behind much of the drug violence that has plagued Mexico for years.

Murillo Karam said the arrest was the result of months of work in coordination with US law enforcement agencies, which led to 13 arrests and the seizure of more than 100 weapons.

Guzman's capture is a major coup for the 14-month administration of President Enrique Pena Nieto following the arrest of the head of the ultra-violent and powerful Zetas drug cartel, Miguel Angel Trevino, in July 2013.

"I recognize the work of the Mexican state's security institutions for detaining Joaquin Guzman Loera in Mazatlan," Pena Nieto wrote on Twitter.

The president had ditched the previous government's tradition of hauling captured capos in front of the media, but an exception was made for Guzman.

A US security official said Mexican forces swooped on Guzman in a hotel after acting on intelligence from the US Drug Enforce Administration and Homeland Security Department.

In recent weeks, Guzman was believed to have been hiding in a house in Culiacan, Sinaloa's largest city, but had fled as authorities hunted for him. The house had extra-thick walls and escape tunnels, the official said.

"We've been actively tracking him for five weeks. Because of that pressure, he fled in the last couple of days to Mazatlan," the official told AFP on condition on anonymity.

Guzman's top associate, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, remains on the run even though Mexican marines "almost got him" in recent operations against the Sinaloa cartel, the US official said.

- Laundry cart escape -

Guzman, whose nickname "shorty" is a reference to his height, amassed an immense fortune while authorities carried out their exhaustive international manhunt to capture him.

His turf wars with the Juarez and Zetas cartels fueled a wave of relentless violence that has left almost 80,000 people dead in the past seven years.

He became a legendary drug lord after escaping from a maximum-security prison in a laundry cart in January 2001. He had been captured in Guatemala eight years earlier.

His ability to sneak tons of cocaine, heroin and marijuana into the United States made him "Public Enemy Number One" in Chicago, joining American gangster Al Capone as the only criminal to ever get the moniker.

Guzman "easily surpassed the carnage and social destruction that was caused by Capone," the Chicago Crime Commission said in February 2013.

The 1.72-meter (five-foot-six) tall "El Chapo" was on Forbes magazine's list of the world's most powerful people, standing at number 67, and was once listed as a billionaire.

- A drug lord's rise -

Guzman was born in the Sinaloa village of Badiraguato.

He became involved in drug trafficking in the late 1980s when he worked for one of the earliest leaders of Mexico's modern cartels, Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, who led the Guadalajara gang until his capture in 1989.

Authorities say the Sinaloa drug cartel emerged in the 1990s after Felix Gallardo's organization split following his arrest between Guzman's faction and the Tijuana cartel.

Guzman's family has paid dearly for his life of crime. One of his brothers was killed in a Mexican jail in December 2004 and a son was murdered in a Culiacan shopping center in May 2008.

He is married to a former beauty queen, Emma Coronel, and is believed to have had 10 children.

Even if it was him the mere fact that he was taken by mexican authorities suggests a coup d'etat occurred and somebody set him up and is ready to fill his place. Any uptick in violence is likely due to elimination of loyal members and organization cells. Sorry to say but the cartels will require a much more thorough stamping out to be eliminated.

Unfortunately the only way to stop El Chapo is the way he stopped his own competitors,anchor them with a bullet to the head.If he stays in mexico he will escape or die trying and if he is imprisoned here he will continue to run his cartel from inside prison,which im very sure he has a plan in place for already.
This guy is like bill gates,he can buy his way out of anything and he can buy anyone he chooses,I read an article awhile back that said his wealth made middle eastern sheiks and kings look like welfare recipients.No wonder they write songs about him.Cartels will continue to reign supreme until our failed drug policy is changed but until then another will just step forward to fill the void.

my honest opinion.....USA had their hands in it only to benefit themselves. probably to invoke more violence on the street levels for funding ,or fueling rather, this war on drugs BS. there will always be two sides of this. those that support and those against a subject. and you can bet your ass the US will side with whatever makes them money. Glad they got dude and all. but glad for Mexico. here on the other hand, the government knows the power struggles about to take place on this side. not only do they know, they are banking on it.

If the USA has there hands in it you can believe a group of individuals felt as though they weren't getting a big enough cut. In the end this does more harm to Mexico and America than good.

Marijuana is the cartel's #1 import to the USA and #1 money maker. Now that the shit is legal everywhere they have to find other things to do. The money will NOT slow up the hustle will just change. More woman/kids kidnapped and sold on the black market and the mass import of heavier drugs as they try to get more and more people hooked which won't be hard.

Cocaine and meth are the logical alternatives...
