The decapitation strategy aims to destabilize cartels by eliminating top leaders, creating chaos and infighting. However, in some cases, this has led to the rise of more powerful cartels, such as CJNG, which emerged from the Millennial cartel's internal conflicts. CJNG is known for its brutality and dominance in drug trafficking, particularly in meth and fentanyl, and has a history of violent confrontations with law enforcement and rival cartels.
- 00:05:00 - 00:10:00
CJNG's origins trace back to the Millennial cartel, which was led by the Valencia family. The internal strife within the Millennial cartel, exacerbated by personal betrayals and alliances with other cartels, led to its downfall. Key figures like Mencho rose through the ranks, transitioning from a local policeman to a hitman and eventually leading the CJNG, which capitalized on the chaos to establish itself as a dominant force in the drug trade.
- 00:10:00 - 00:15:00
The Millennial cartel's alliance with La Familia Michoacana deteriorated due to personal conflicts, leading to a violent war. The Gulf Cartel supported La Familia, which ultimately led to the Millennial cartel's decline. As the Millennial leadership fled to Jalisco, they sought new alliances, including with the Sinaloa cartel, to survive against their rivals, but tensions over profits and control soon emerged, leading to further fragmentation.
- 00:15:00 - 00:20:00
The Millennial cartel's decline continued as internal conflicts and external pressures mounted. Mencho's leadership style and connections with the Sinaloa cartel initially provided some stability, but as rivalries intensified, the cartel faced significant challenges. The capture of key leaders and the loss of territory forced the Millennial cartel to adapt, leading to the eventual rise of CJNG as a new entity in the drug trade.
- 00:20:00 - 00:25:00
CJNG's rise was marked by brutal tactics and a paramilitary structure, allowing them to expand rapidly and eliminate rivals. Their violent confrontations with La Resistencia, a faction of the Millennial cartel, showcased their ruthlessness. The internal power struggles within CJNG, particularly after the deaths and captures of key leaders, further solidified their dominance in Jalisco and beyond, as they employed mercenaries and sophisticated weaponry.
- 00:25:00 - 00:30:07
CJNG's operations have expanded into various regions, facing off against local groups and rival cartels. Their ability to manufacture weapons and employ advanced tactics distinguishes them from other cartels. Despite ongoing government crackdowns and rivalries, CJNG continues to thrive, with leaders like Mencho maintaining a strategic focus on controlling key territories and drug trafficking routes, ensuring their survival in a volatile environment.

- 00:00:08you know the weird thing about the
- 00:00:10decapitation strategy is the fact that
- 00:00:14sometimes the sudden elimination of the
- 00:00:16top tier of leadership within a short
- 00:00:18amount of time in time is of the essence
- 00:00:21because it's meant to create chaos
- 00:00:22within these organizations which lead to
- 00:00:25infighting and eventually disintegration
- 00:00:27of a cohesive organization that can no
- 00:00:30longer effectively control all of its
- 00:00:32cells which makes it easier for law
- 00:00:34enforcement to locate and arrest cartel
- 00:00:36members however in some rare cases it
- 00:00:39has led to the opposite scenario the
- 00:00:41creation of a cartel far more powerful
- 00:00:43than anyone could have imagined in fact
- 00:00:46the argument could be made that the
- 00:00:47kingpin strategy only made it easier for
- 00:00:49CJ ng to recruit orphan cells of gunmen
- 00:00:52and on top of that you get rid of a set
- 00:00:55of leaders that used violence only when
- 00:00:57needed only for them to be replaced by
- 00:00:59people like el agente Cinco and man Cho
- 00:01:02and then Gaara just pure savages on
- 00:01:07September 20 2011 at around 7:30 in the
- 00:01:10morning two cargo trucks suddenly
- 00:01:13stopped in the middle of a busy
- 00:01:14underpants that runs through the
- 00:01:16Veracruz city of Boca Del Rio
- 00:01:18armed men descended and formed a
- 00:01:21perimeter the other gunmen who were all
- 00:01:23wearing black tactical uniforms then
- 00:01:26started to unload body after body from
- 00:01:28the trucks the trucks and the mutilated
- 00:01:30bodies were left in the middle of the
- 00:01:32roadway along with a message a new group
- 00:01:36was announcing its presence in Veracruz
- 00:01:38at the time they called themselves los
- 00:01:40Matas Etta's but soon the world would
- 00:01:43become familiar with the name cartel
- 00:01:45Jalisco new generation or CJ ng for
- 00:01:48short the people that were tortured and
- 00:01:50killed were picked up at random by
- 00:01:52municipal police and handed over to the
- 00:01:54Mata seta so the police were under
- 00:01:56orders to pick up local Zetas members so
- 00:01:59they grabbed anyone they could in line
- 00:02:01to their cartel bosses about their
- 00:02:03affiliations this is just one incident a
- 00:02:06savagery that has cemented CJ ng as one
- 00:02:09of the most brutal cartels operating
- 00:02:11today in Mexico and beyond the core of
- 00:02:14the CJ ng began as a faction of the
- 00:02:16Millennial cartel they emerged from
- 00:02:18the ashes of an internal war that would
- 00:02:21end up destroying one faction and at the
- 00:02:23same time propel the CJ ng to the top of
- 00:02:26the international criminal underworld
- 00:02:28they dominate vast areas of Mexico with
- 00:02:31pure brutality a cartel ships massive
- 00:02:33amounts of synthetic drugs to feed the
- 00:02:35growing appetite for meth and fentanyl a
- 00:02:38ruthless pursuit of new plazas would
- 00:02:40bring the bloodshed and brutality to a
- 00:02:42new level
- 00:02:43even the government is not safe from the
- 00:02:45wrath of arguably one of the most
- 00:02:46violent trafficking organizations that
- 00:02:49has ever existed in Mexico or elsewhere
- 00:02:51CJ ng can trace its roots back to
- 00:02:54Michoacan back to the Millenial cartel
- 00:02:56the Millennial cartel was led by the
- 00:02:58Valencia family they had deeper roots in
- 00:03:01the criminal underworld going back to
- 00:03:03the 70s the Millennial cartel dominated
- 00:03:06in Michoacan and other states throughout
- 00:03:08Mexico it was in this organization that
- 00:03:10the future leaders of the CJ ng would
- 00:03:13learn how cartel business works and
- 00:03:15menschell Erick Salazar and liske
- 00:03:17wienies all rose through the ranks of
- 00:03:19the Millennial cartel Ruben o Segura

- 00:03:54underworld he began pushing meth in San
- 00:03:56Francisco he was making enough for a
- 00:03:58street level dealer but the easy money

- 00:09:04organization had been sending drugs
- 00:09:06north into Europe since the 90s but now
- 00:09:09that we're down and had to accept the
- 00:09:11situation in 2007 federal agents raided
- 00:09:14a mansion and an exclusive residential
- 00:09:17area of Mexico City the property

- 00:09:26huge amounts of pseudoephedrine for the
- 00:09:28manufacture of various drugs
- 00:09:30however the Mexican government suspected

- 00:09:35to the Millenial cartel which operated
- 00:09:38numerous meth super labs in the
- 00:09:40countryside of Michoacan and Colima the
- 00:09:42Millenial organization began to have
- 00:09:44second thoughts about their new partners
- 00:09:46it all boiled down to profits they felt
- 00:09:48they were already an established group
- 00:09:50trafficking massive amounts of coke
- 00:09:52before the Sinaloa pne's arrived and now
- 00:09:54that we're transporting seen the lower
- 00:09:55drug loads without seeing an increase in
- 00:09:57profits for themselves the tension
- 00:10:00resulted in the heated argument between
- 00:10:01the Lobo Valencia and nacho coronet in
- 00:10:04the summer of 2009 the argument was
- 00:10:07about profits and who really controlled
- 00:10:09Jalisco the confrontation almost got
- 00:10:11physical but they were held back before
- 00:10:13he came to that in any case the union
- 00:10:15between the Sinaloa cartel the Millenial
- 00:10:17organization was coming to an end a few
- 00:10:19months later at Lobo Valencia is
- 00:10:21captured by Army Special Forces while
- 00:10:23visiting a marijuana plantation after a
- 00:10:26shootout at Lobo and his bodyguards are
- 00:10:28apprehended seven months later his
- 00:10:30brother Juan at the eager Valencia is
- 00:10:32also captured this event along with the
- 00:10:35death of nacho Coronet led to chaos
- 00:10:37within the leadership of the Millenial
- 00:10:39cartel the internal pecking order
- 00:10:41pointed to a video at belleau Ramirez to
- 00:10:44assume control of the organization out
- 00:10:46of all the leaders out of all the
- 00:10:48leaders at below had the most experience
- 00:10:50and
- 00:10:51Lobos right-hand for the longest these
- 00:10:54events caused a rift between two
- 00:10:56factions within the Millennial cartel on
- 00:10:58one side was Ramiro and Malka Gonzalez
- 00:11:02Gerardo Ducato Mendoza and other Kapil's
- 00:11:05that recognized that below as a natural
- 00:11:07successor to lead the organization on
- 00:11:09the opposite side was Erik Valencia and
- 00:11:12los Queenie's faction they backed and
- 00:11:14Menchel to lead the cartel to add fuel
- 00:11:16to the fire at belleau and his team
- 00:11:18blamed in mentos and nacho Kildonan for
- 00:11:21giving up at louisville and his brother
- 00:11:22to the government they refused to take
- 00:11:24orders from and mentos and the Sinaloa
- 00:11:26'ns and menschell sent word to Takata to
- 00:11:29surrender to the new leadership or face
- 00:11:31the consequences so what does Ducato do
- 00:11:33bow down
- 00:11:34I mean Chicano hmm on May 10 2010 at the
- 00:11:39gato sentiment to his answer is gunmen
- 00:11:42kidnapped and executed several amento
- 00:11:43sicarios in the city of tacoma Menchel
- 00:11:46didn't waste time in answering the
- 00:11:48declaration of war his sicarios kidnap
- 00:11:50and killed almost 40 members of it
- 00:11:52bellows and at the cattles organization
- 00:11:54in May 2010 the millennial civil war
- 00:11:57began at belleau and in mochas faction
- 00:12:00we're now calling themselves la
- 00:12:02resistencia and mentos sign were known
- 00:12:04as lost or seagulls at first but then
- 00:12:07soon after nacho coronet was
- 00:12:09unexpectedly killed by the military in
- 00:12:11Zapopan and mentos travelled to Sinaloa
- 00:12:13and met with the top bosses he wanted
- 00:12:15their support and agreed to share the
- 00:12:17plaza was Sinaloa wuterich and mental
- 00:12:19didn't realize was that nachos own
- 00:12:21cartel associates that gave the green
- 00:12:23light for the government to capture
- 00:12:25nacho the reason being is that Chaplin
- 00:12:27and Maya were made aware that nacho
- 00:12:29coronet was planning on striking out on
- 00:12:30his own together with El Rancho and Eric
- 00:12:33Valencia if it were now for the betrayal
- 00:12:35nacho would almost certainly have gone
- 00:12:37on to join what would become the siege
- 00:12:39ang of today
- 00:12:40soon after the meeting in Sinaloa in
- 00:12:42August 2010 Carta Jalisco Nova Hennessey
- 00:12:45own is established la resistencia and CJ
- 00:12:48ng would go on to fight an especially
- 00:12:50brutal war massacres beheadings numerous
- 00:12:53kidnappings exploded in Jalisco between
- 00:12:56the two groups feeling a bit overwhelmed
- 00:12:57that its extensive sought allies to help
- 00:13:00them defeat their enemy they briefly
- 00:13:02formed a short-lived a lion
- 00:13:04with the Gulf Cartel and La Familia
- 00:13:06Michoacana during the war Eric Valencia
- 00:13:08formed and let a paramilitary group
- 00:13:10known as Matt isettas or said are killed
- 00:13:13by mid-2012 it was beginning to sink in
- 00:13:16that the war was going badly for ladders
- 00:13:18estancia they were losing to CJ ng
- 00:13:21ultimately the CJ ng one because they
- 00:13:24had more support from Sinaloa
- 00:13:25they also bribed high-level commanders
- 00:13:27and government officials on top of that
- 00:13:29CJ ng hired mercenaries from Colombia
- 00:13:32and Israel to train their sicarios even
- 00:13:34to this day CJ ng employs skilled
- 00:13:37combatants from Colombia to fight and
- 00:13:39also train their forces the final nail
- 00:13:41in the coffin of la resistencia was when
- 00:13:44in Malka was finally captured by federal
- 00:13:46police in September 2012 la resistencia
- 00:13:49was no more at vila went out to traffic
- 00:13:51his own drug shipments the rest of the
- 00:13:53organization joined the CJ ng or
- 00:13:55scattered to other places
- 00:13:57CJ ng was now the new player in Jalisco
- 00:14:00with some of the same characters from
- 00:14:01the Millennial days but a completely
- 00:14:04different organization you can't talk
- 00:14:06about the rise of CJ ng without talking
- 00:14:08about loss queens his family clan made
- 00:14:10up of 18 siblings and led by abigail
- 00:14:13Valencia when Silas has sent more
- 00:14:16cocaine shipments to Europe and
- 00:14:18Australia than any other Mexican cartel
- 00:14:20in recent times when the CJ ng was
- 00:14:22established Pasquini is focused on
- 00:14:24trafficking and selling cocaine in
- 00:14:25Europe and Asia the coke was shipped to
- 00:14:27African countries like Guinea Bissau
- 00:14:29Senegal and Mauritania then smuggled
- 00:14:31into Spain from there the shipment can
- 00:14:34move freely within the European Union
- 00:14:35without problems thus Queenie's made
- 00:14:38Europe their main market for their coke
- 00:14:40they realize going up against more
- 00:14:41established organizations in the US and
- 00:14:44having conflict early on was not
- 00:14:46feasible for several years thus
- 00:14:48Queenie's worked under the radar of
- 00:14:49authorities who mistakenly believed
- 00:14:51Dulles Queenie's were just money
- 00:14:53launderers for CJ ng or at least that is
- 00:14:56a story the US and Mexico
- 00:14:58put out partnership between CJ ng
- 00:15:00endless Queenie's was successful and
- 00:15:02grew even closer even though I'd mention
- 00:15:05was already married to Rosalinda
- 00:15:07Valencia the sister of Abigail Valencia
- 00:15:09CJ ng expanded quickly within six months
- 00:15:13of winning the war they had won over
- 00:15:14plazas on both coasts they expanded East
- 00:15:17and took over
- 00:15:18old millennial Network and began
- 00:15:20shipping meth into Europe in the u.s.
- 00:15:22unlike their partners queeny's who
- 00:15:24preferred to move in silence and remain
- 00:15:26under the radar the CJ ng went out of
- 00:15:28their way to attract people's attention
- 00:15:30but their gruesome execution videos and
- 00:15:33by leaving mutilated body parts in
- 00:15:34public for everyone to see a warning to
- 00:15:37show what would happen to anyone
- 00:15:39that went against and mentos and his
- 00:15:41organization by 2012 mentos was in the
- 00:15:44middle of clearing out Guadalajara of
- 00:15:46independent traffickers then he went
- 00:15:48after Sinaloa cartel members in the city
- 00:15:50when he pushed out Sinaloa cartel
- 00:15:52members in Jalisco he began to probe and
- 00:15:54to Sinaloa state itself however the
- 00:15:56Sinaloa cartel was able to block mentals
- 00:15:59advance into their territory the war
- 00:16:01fizzled out for the time being but there
- 00:16:03was always tension between the two
- 00:16:04cartels from then on everything was
- 00:16:07going smoothly when suddenly in March
- 00:16:092014 a federal grand jury indicted los
- 00:16:12Queenie's organization the group had
- 00:16:14been under investigation by the DEA for
- 00:16:16the past year the first to fall with
- 00:16:18Abigail he was captured by Mexican naval
- 00:16:20special forces while he was having a
- 00:16:22meeting with Venezuelan and Columbian
- 00:16:24partners at a restaurant in Puerto
- 00:16:27Vallarta that day he had only one
- 00:16:29bodyguard an Israeli X Special Forces
- 00:16:31soldier Abigail offered the soldiers
- 00:16:34three million dollars to not show his
- 00:16:36face to the cameras the soldiers ignored
- 00:16:38the offer
- 00:16:39ever since then those Queens have faced
- 00:16:41the loss of leadership you to arrest
- 00:16:43however they are still able to operate
- 00:16:45even behind bars one of the reasons
- 00:16:47siege ang has been able to expand
- 00:16:49rapidly and push out rivals from their
- 00:16:51plazas is their paramilitary structure
- 00:16:53and training especially for bodyguards
- 00:16:55from the leadership of the cartel and
- 00:16:57also their shock troops known as scruple
- 00:17:00elite siege ang would make 2015 its most
- 00:17:03deadliest year up to that point
- 00:17:05first they ambushed the State Police
- 00:17:07counselor making its way through a
- 00:17:09country road gunmen had camped near the
- 00:17:11site for more than a day waiting for the
- 00:17:13convoy to pass the State Police trucks
- 00:17:16made their way down to highway when
- 00:17:17suddenly they came across a burnt-out
- 00:17:19car blocking its way the convoy stopped
- 00:17:22and that's when siege ang attacked they
- 00:17:24pinned down cops with machine-gun fire
- 00:17:26and grenade launchers 15 cops were
- 00:17:28killed in the bloodbath the deadliest
- 00:17:30day for Mexican
- 00:17:31law enforcement in about a decade CJ ng
- 00:17:34suffered no casualties
- 00:17:36the ambush cost the lives of 15 members
- 00:17:38of the State Police it was retaliation
- 00:17:40for the killing of it'll by state
- 00:17:42authorities in a recent rate but what
- 00:17:44really caught people's attention was the
- 00:17:46day CJ ng knocked down a government
- 00:17:48helicopter during a massive operation
- 00:17:51meant to decapitate cartel leadership in
- 00:17:53the early morning hours with sunlight
- 00:17:55still a couple hours away
- 00:17:56federal agent Yvonne Morales boarded one
- 00:17:59of five military helicopters that were
- 00:18:01waiting at the Colima Airport he joined
- 00:18:03more than a dozen soldiers aboard the
- 00:18:05aircraft that we're about to take off
- 00:18:07for a secret mission although they
- 00:18:09weren't told who or what was the target
- 00:18:11until the last minute
- 00:18:12only later were they told who the target
- 00:18:14was they were going after an men show a
- 00:18:17few days earlier intelligence agents on
- 00:18:19the ground alerted headquarters they
- 00:18:21believed mento was moving around in a
- 00:18:23specific area of Jalisco government
- 00:18:25forces quickly mobilized for a planned
- 00:18:27raid to capture the elusive drug lord at
- 00:18:29least that was the plan going quick
- 00:18:31under the cover of darkness and snatch
- 00:18:33up and mentos but what nobody knew was
- 00:18:35that Menchel was waiting for them he
- 00:18:37knew that were coming to get him he
- 00:18:38received a warning from one of his
- 00:18:40federal contacts on his payroll Menchel
- 00:18:43prepared his troops and waited for the
- 00:18:45federales to arrive aircraft
- 00:18:47surveillance of the area revealed a
- 00:18:49suspected CJ ng convoy moving through a
- 00:18:51country road a ground force was sent to
- 00:18:54intercept them the convoy of helicopters
- 00:18:56traveled to the area in order to support
- 00:18:58the ground force up ahead unfortunately
- 00:19:00for the agents and soldiers on board
- 00:19:02CJ ng gunmen were waiting as soon as the
- 00:19:05first three soldiers began to rappel
- 00:19:07down the sicarios opened up with
- 00:19:08everything they had which included
- 00:19:10machine guns 50 caliber rifles and the
- 00:19:12weapon that ultimately brought the
- 00:19:14aircraft down an RPG launcher the first
- 00:19:17casualties were the pilot he was hit
- 00:19:18with automatic fire then almost
- 00:19:20immediately the first three soldiers
- 00:19:22that rappel down were also hit with
- 00:19:24machine-gun fire and then several
- 00:19:25sicarios raised their rocket launchers
- 00:19:28six rounds were fired all but two shots
- 00:19:30missed the helicopter came crashing down
- 00:19:32in a ball of fire agent Morales and a
- 00:19:34couple others survived the ambush
- 00:19:36although agent Morales was burned over
- 00:19:3870% of his body the other helicopters
- 00:19:41fired on the group of gunmen killing
- 00:19:44sicarios the ambush in the chaos had
- 00:19:46erupted when CJ ng gunmen began stealing
- 00:19:49larger vehicles in order to leave them
- 00:19:51burning on major highways and roads with
- 00:19:53the goal of slowing down government
- 00:19:55reinforcements the problem with CJ ng is
- 00:19:57that they never developed a
- 00:19:59sophisticated way of dividing and
- 00:20:01conquering their enemies their way was
- 00:20:03similar to the Zetas you work for us or
- 00:20:06we dismember you and that's a leader of
- 00:20:08a local group of a few people with
- 00:20:10limited weapons and training you take
- 00:20:12the road that's going to keep you alive
- 00:20:13and able to make money so aligning with
- 00:20:16CJ ng what's a smart thing to do their
- 00:20:18expansion has led them to battle against
- 00:20:20several diverse groups of traffickers in
- 00:20:22Michoacan CJ ng is struggling to
- 00:20:25displace Allah boil off ideas and those
- 00:20:27viagra's in this case it's also because
- 00:20:30the military in Michoacan is actively
- 00:20:32helping with Viagra sinhala boil in
- 00:20:34their war against CJ ng not to downplay
- 00:20:36their impact under enemies in one
- 00:20:38particular case a massacre that was
- 00:20:41swept under the rug by the state
- 00:20:42government happened in April near
- 00:20:44Louetta
- 00:20:45the story goes that a combine VRS and
- 00:20:48military convoy of a nearby unit made
- 00:20:50their way into the town of Le Monde Seto
- 00:20:53the local siege ang group flood they
- 00:20:55decided not to engage the military who
- 00:20:57were allies of Las Vegas los fiag resent
- 00:21:00'red the town and they looted homes
- 00:21:02businesses and anything they could carry
- 00:21:04well after they were satisfied with
- 00:21:06their victory they made their way to a
- 00:21:08ranch on the outskirts of town
- 00:21:10that night was be a gross high off their
- 00:21:12victory and also drugs got drunk and
- 00:21:14fell asleep it would turn out to be a
- 00:21:15deadly mistake on their part because
- 00:21:17that was earlier after they had left the
- 00:21:19town and after the last military unit
- 00:21:21returned to their base
- 00:21:22CJ ng units returned to the town the
- 00:21:25locals alerted them to the location of
- 00:21:27Las Vegas CJ ng reinforcements arrived
- 00:21:30and set off to hunt the enemy those
- 00:21:32viagra's were caught sleeping some were
- 00:21:34shot immediately
- 00:21:35others were burned alive a massacre was
- 00:21:37at first denied by the Vieira's on
- 00:21:39social media but then the images
- 00:21:41confirmed what happened the incident was
- 00:21:43swept under the rug because it
- 00:21:44highlights government corruption somehow
- 00:21:46the fact that an entire military unit is
- 00:21:49in league with a criminal organization
- 00:21:51did not make headlines in Guanajuato CJ
- 00:21:54ng has had more success fighting against
- 00:21:56tomorrow and
- 00:21:57together with a security operation
- 00:21:58implemented by the government got there

- 00:22:19a huge beating that it may never recover

- 00:23:22probably one of the most gruesome
- 00:23:24conflicts in recent times the
- 00:23:26battlefield involves local groups that
- 00:23:28so far have kept CJ ng from taking over
- 00:23:30the entire state CJ ng has been in
- 00:23:33Guerrero for at least six years in
- 00:23:35controlling the far western area and
- 00:23:37along the Pacific coast in cities such
- 00:23:40as Zihuatanejo as well as those that

- 00:23:57Michoacana CJ ng + n FM c j ng and nova
- 00:24:01familia are locked in a brutal war that
- 00:24:03has produced some of the most gruesome
- 00:24:05propaganda videos of the war in guerrero
- 00:24:07and much like the war between Zetas
- 00:24:10Gulf Cartel and Tamaulipas both CJ ng
- 00:24:13and Nova Familia Michoacana use monster
- 00:24:15trucks which are large trucks that have
- 00:24:18been armored they are used to spearhead
- 00:24:20attacks and raids into enemy territories
- 00:24:23the war has also involved confrontations
- 00:24:25and remote areas involving hundreds of
- 00:24:28sicarios and Jalisco itself siege ang
- 00:24:30battles against one of its former
- 00:24:32commanders or cholo he broke off after
- 00:24:34he killed a high-level money-launderer

- 00:24:40got a nueva plaza they fight for
- 00:24:43ownership of certain areas west of
- 00:24:45Guadalajara and the outskirts recently
- 00:24:47though a truce between the two sides may
- 00:24:50be in place something that distinguishes
- 00:24:52siege ang from other cartels is their
- 00:24:54paramilitary force siege ang not only
- 00:24:57has access to all types of sophisticated
- 00:25:00small arms but they also have the
- 00:25:02ability to manufacture their own weapons
- 00:25:05unlike most cartels they usually buy
- 00:25:07rifles sent from various sources the
- 00:25:10cartel manufactures firearms and
- 00:25:12accessories using expensive CNC machines
- 00:25:15and hidden weapons factories that attach

- 00:26:45emergency meeting on a ranch and Sinaloa
- 00:26:48what happened was that the masa Lopez

- 00:26:52cartel secretly paid those Bibles a
- 00:26:55faction of the siege ang to kidnap and
- 00:26:58kill those chupitos mention knew about

- 00:27:17their own a siege ang hit squad rolled
- 00:27:19into their area rounded up most of the
- 00:27:21members and killed them the possibility
- 00:27:24of a massive war between the Sinaloa
- 00:27:26cartel and CJ ng played a part in the
- 00:27:28decision to release the brothers but the
- 00:27:30other reason was this unmanned cheetah
- 00:27:32and cheetah was in the Lichtman cheetah
- 00:27:34was in the hands of Sinaloa cartel
- 00:27:36assassins inside the prison at any
- 00:27:38moment they were able to kill min Chico

- 00:27:43the puerto vallarta area resulted in the
