Sheinbaum urges Trump to 'share' captured drug lord's ill-gotten billions with Mexico's poor

 Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has made headlines by suggesting that President Trump should share the $15 billion from the seized assets of convicted drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada with the poorest people in Mexico. This statement comes after Zambada pleaded guilty to serious charges, including drug trafficking and murder.

• Zambada's Conviction: Zambada, a key figure in the Sinaloa drug cartel, has agreed to forfeit $15 billion as part of his plea deal, avoiding the death penalty but facing life imprisonment.

• Sheinbaum's Proposal: At a press conference, Sheinbaum urged the U. S. government to channel the recovered money to aid impoverished communities in Mexico.

• Criticism of Mexican Leadership: The article criticizes Sheinbaum for expecting a monetary benefit from Zambada’s assets while her government allegedly failed to capture him previously, implying negligence in dealing with cartel violence.

• Allegations Against NGOs: Skepticism is raised regarding how effectively the funds will reach the poor, suggesting that NGOs often retain much of the money for salaries instead of aiding those in need.

• Questions of Accountability: The article questions why Zambada’s wealth was allowed to grow so considerable and suggests that funds from his drug operations could be better used to aid victims of the fentanyl crisis, rather than simply being redistributed.

• Call for Action: A proposal is made that the cartel's wealth could also address the costs associated with deporting illegal immigrants, presenting a more focused solution for the funds.

• Future Prospects: The piece concludes by emphasizing the importance of security and economic stability in Mexico for improving the lives of its citizens, while also hinting at the potential for gaining further resources from other captured cartel members in the future.

Sheinbaum's request for U. S. funds amid a backdrop of criticism raises questions about accountability and effective use of such wealth. There is a call for a more strategic approach to tackling cartel issues in Mexico for the benefit of its citizens.

In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...
