What are you excited about?
Will this be made public on YouTube? I want to share it with folks. I think this is very important information for most Americans to hear. We have a war right on our doorstep.
How much impact has drone warfare training from the Ukraine & Russian war, affected the cartels tactics with bringing drugs, money, weapons and other elicit items, such as organs over the boarder?
From your experiences, how involved is our government and higher ups with the cartels that we aren't aware of?
How active should Christians be in standing up for Christian’s values and rights ; would you be specific in what behaviors we should be living and actively proclaiming?
From what you have seen firsthand in Mexico and Colombia, when does corruption stop being a cartel bribing individual officials and become something closer to a shadow government, where organized crime effectively governs through the police, courts, politicians, and local economy? What warning signs tell you that line has been crossed, and which, if any, should Americans be watching for here?
To Joe's question, when considering how our own clandestine operations get funded and knowing about things from our past like the operation Oliver North ran, for example. To what extent can we actually expect the US to genuinely remove these organized crime elements as opposed to just manage and control them overall?
How much of the US government is involved with working with the cartel/ drug trade?
Could and should the US carry out kill or capture raids against child sex trafficking operators in Mexico?
What is the influence behind your brave reporting? You are a force at such a young age and an amazing role model for other young women 💜 God bless you and keep you safe.
From everything you’ve witnessed firsthand, what is the biggest change happening in organized crime right now that governments and the general public are not paying enough attention to—and what happens if we continue to ignore it
You've reported on cartel violence in Mexico, conflict in Colombia, and now foreign fighters and drone warfare in Ukraine — what's the throughline you see connecting organized crime and modern warfare? Are cartels adopting battlefield tactics from Ukraine, or is it happening the other way around?"
Stay safe ! God Bless you !
