“We won!” camouflaged men shouted after killing Pablo Escobar in 1993. They didn’t. The Medellin Cartel resurrected and now has the US government by the balls.

The so-called “Oficina de Envigado” controls much of Colombia’s drug trade through a network of local partners that sell the cocaine to their Mexican clients, keeping La Oficina out of reach of the DEA’.

Much of the revenue of these groups is laundered in Medellin and Bogota while the US Government can either look the other way or be publicly humiliated in an election year.

. . .

La Oficina focuses on the business side, laundering the traffickers’ money in Medellin and Bogota, just in case Washington DC stops chasing ghosts in Venezuela.

The mafioso with a Medal of Freedom



Uribe, however, received billions of dollars to combat drug trafficking, received a Medal of Freedom from former US President George W. Bush and is the boss of President Ivan Duque.

. . .

The new Medellin Cartel has the administration of US President Donald Trump by the balls to the point that Vice-President Mike Pence last months called Uribe, an admitted former associate of Escobar, a “hero.”
