On the first day of his administration, President Trump signed an executive order designating the US as a global terrorist organization. This means that the tools of the American state extend to dismantling, sanctioning, and dismantling those organizations and those employees who facilitate work that puts the national security of the United States at risk.
As of Monday, January 20, the DEA and the Department of Justice will not be making it a priority to create court files to take organized crime members before juries. Now the intelligence community, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury and the military are choosing “strategic targets” to neutralize the activities of the posters and prevent the drug from entering the United States.
Criminals, companies and suppliers included in this list are Guantanamo Bay or a prison in a third country.
This tool follows on from the global war on terrorism that began in 2001 in Afghanistan after the attack on the Twin Towers. This declaration of war ended in August 2021, after American troops left Kabul. The cost of these 20 years of fighting is estimated at $8 trillion, which amounts to just over 60,000 deaths of Western nationalities, including soldiers, contractors, government workers, civilians and journalists. There are an estimated 250,000 fighter deaths and over 100,000 collateral deaths from members of organizations designated as terrorists.
Today Al Qaeda continues to operate in the world, in Afghanistan, and I will govern states that support terrorist movements, ISIS is not dismantled, Libya and Syria have new conflicts; And half of Yemen is a sanctuary for Hutas to attack oil ships. Two weeks ago, then a long silence, the FBI admitted that Shamsud-Dean Jabbar, the attacker who rammed a van into a crowd in New Orleans, belonged to an Islamic massacre terrorist organization. The United States is no more secure than it was 20 years ago.
On December 1, 2021, the Biden Administration designated Colombia’s FARC as a global terrorist organization. After several attempts at peace and disarmament, the FARC is still active and terrorizing the Catatumbo region, where there are thousands of displaced people. In turn, the United Nations last October published its annual drug report, which estimates that coca hectares have increased by 10% and cocaine production has increased by 53% per year. This implies that there is important progress in poster performance and that the global market continues to grow.
After Walsed Life and economic resources politicians failed to realize that terrorism had been eliminated Creation of an institutional channel so that the movement and its demands can be participants in political life. In turn Organized crime is dismantled by liquidated financial success criminals and curbing demand for substitute products; As well as free activities for youth (culture, sports, entertainment, etc.) and the search for effective treatment to treat addiction.

For politicians to label drug traffickers or terrorists, announce the death of enemies or force out troops are tools that gain popularity in the short term, but do not solve the problem.
The United States must maximize the presence of troops in armed conflicts. Even in the global war on terrorism, photographs were banned when the bodies returned to the St Andrews base. To reduce the political costs of soldiers dying in war, more and more drones have been used as a tactical tool. Drones offer a video test if they eliminate targets and are a new weapon on the battlefield. However, today they have not won the war and have not been ineffective in producing medium-term results.
It is true that organized crime is a global threat and the answer cannot only be from within the country. Mexico must develop the necessary public policies to confront this cancer that is increasingly infiltrating the state and society. Cooperation between Mexico and the United States is essential to achieving achievements. The first advantage of the posters is the disparity between the two countries.
The area where they should focus their efforts is the US and Mexico is in money laundering and exploitation of the global financial system. In Mexico, the accounting industry that sells modeling of economic transactions is still thriving. They are called bills because they sell the bill. The entrepreneur simulates expenses in his company, justified by an invoice issued by the Company Accounting Office, which exists only on paper. The office uses cash from organized crime to deliver it to the employer for the “Services You Pay” less commission. The Mexican businessman thinks (very naively) that he only evades taxes, justifying that politicians only steal money.
This method, which grew disproportionately in Mexico during the introduction of Felipe Calderon, remains in force and is currently performed with unnamed cards in concentration accounts to justify the cost of presentation. These pre-loaded balance cards can have spending up to $50k per day. These cards use the financial system and international payment.
Mexico can no longer be ignored and must define public policies to reduce the size of organized crime. Otherwise You will only see drone attacks in Puerta de Hierro in Zapopan. Spring in the forests of Culinan or Santa Fe in Mexico City.
