#397 - "We're Under Siege" China's New Deal With The Sinaloa Cartel | John Nores
"The track of the border is thinner than the power line track behind my running trail on the house on Forest Service property. That's it. And snow-covered. This is 5,000 miles, guys. And the northern border right now is absolutely under siege because obviously it's super remote. What would it take, a Jalisco New Generation Cartel trafficker with a backpack with up to a million fentanyl pills coming from dirty labs in China or in Canada now, not made in Mexico. Why bother, right? And hike right down that trail and get them into distribution centers."
Nores, who now lives 30 miles from the Canadian border in Montana, revealed that cartels have shifted operations north as the southern border tightened under the Trump administration. The 5,000-mile northern border is largely undefended forest with minimal patrol presence, and fentanyl is now being manufactured in Canadian labs using Chinese precursors before being walked across into rural American communities. Nores described filming helicopter footage showing the border is nothing more than a narrow walking trail through remote wilderness.
