Corporations instead of cartels -- or be careful what you wish for.

STUNNING! Wells Fargo launders Mexican drug cartel money, then invests in for-profit prisons

Last year, Wells Fargo got hit with a slap on the wrist and a fine they could easily afford for laundering $378.4 Billion dollars of drug money for the Mexican drug cartels. If you're keeping score at home that means if you get busted smoking a joint you go to jail, but if you get busted laundering billions of dollars in drug cartel money you get a slap on the wrist. Now, here's the catch, if you get caught smoking pot and go to jail, Wells Fargo will make a profit off of that too thanks to America's growing for-profit prison system.

The greatest losers in this reprisal game are the people because the reprisals against them are neither token nor just.

You will never knock out the cartels so long as the so called "War on Drugs" remains in effect.

The "War on Drugs" enriches and empowers the cartels, while weakening governments via corruption, gradual disenfranchisement and estrangement from its' citizenry.

Thanks for the thread, Robb.
