Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. For more than two decades, David Tyree lived a double life. On the surface, he was a dedicated agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Behind the scenes, he infiltrated some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, outlaw motorcycle gangs and international drug cartels. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. “I spent years sitting across from people who wouldn't hesitate to kill me if they knew who I really was,” Tyree said during a recent interview. “The stakes were always life or death. But the mission, to dismantle these organizations, was worth every risk.” He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms. Undercover Against Motorcycle Gangs Tyree's undercover work included working with outlaw motorcycle clubs, also known as “one-percenters.” These organizations often present themselves as brotherhoods of riders but, as the Department of Justice points out, many function as highly structured criminal enterprises. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “The ‘Big Four' dominate the outlaw motorcycle scene,” Tyree explained. “These groups aren't just about bikes. They're about drugs, weapons, extortion, and serious violence. My job was to get inside and stay alive long enough to make a difference.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. According to federal reports, there are more than 300 active motorcycle gangs in the U.S. Some operations are small, but others span hundreds of chapters worldwide, often working hand-in-hand with drug cartels. Cartels, Cash, and Money Laundering Tyree's assignments expanded beyond biker gangs. He went undercover as a drug dealer, then later as a money launderer, targeting powerful South American and Central American drug cartels. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “These cartels are multinational corporations of crime,” he said. “Drugs, cash, money, violence, it's all part of their business model. They'll work with anyone who helps them move product or clean their dirty money.” Wikipedia describes cartels as alliances of independent drug lords who collaborate to dominate the illegal trade. Tyree saw firsthand how groups like the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas waged bloody turf wars while smuggling narcotics across borders.

The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “One day I could be moving fake loads of cocaine, the next day I'd be laundering millions in cash,” he recalled. “The psychological toll was real. You don't just walk away from that without scars.” Shattering the Hollywood Myths Much of what the public knows about undercover work comes from movies and TV. Tyree insists that reality is far different. “One big myth is that agents have to use drugs to prove themselves,” he said. “That's absolutely false. If you do that, you compromise the case. There are ways around those tests of loyalty, and we were trained to handle them.” Another misconception is that undercover life is constant action. In truth, many investigations stretched over a year or more. “Paperwork was just as important as the undercover work,” Tyree explained. “Evidence, lab reports, case files, that's what puts people in prison.” The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. As for agents going “soft” on their targets? Tyree dismisses the idea. “You might build rapport, but you never forget who you're dealing with. These are people who thrive on violence and greed.” Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Even his own family didn't always know the full truth. “I kept a lot to myself,” he admitted. “Sometimes it was to protect them, sometimes just to keep them from worrying.” Battling Trauma, and Cancer The stress of living under a false identity, constantly under threat, took its toll. Tyree admits nervousness was a constant companion early on. “I had to learn techniques to stay calm, to stay focused,” he said. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. As his career wound down, Tyree faced a different kind of fight, cancer. “It was one of the toughest battles of my life, but the same resilience I built undercover helped me through it.” His Cancer diagnosis was the result of a dare and bet. He is a huge advocate for early and frequent health screenings. Police Under Cover Truths: Inside His DEA Career, Cartels, and Motorcycle Gangs. Life After the DEA Today, Tyree is retired from the DEA but far from finished with his mission. He serves as a Senior Advisor on Financial Crime Detection and Anti-Money Laundering with Valid8 Financial and is an instructor with the Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists. With 25 years of experience, he now uses his expertise to help financial institutions, government agencies, and law enforcement combat crime through Bank Secrecy Act, AML, KYC, and due diligence processes.

Telling His Story Tyree now shares his story through interviews, news outlets, and guest appearances on podcasts like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and mroe. His recent feature, Police Under Cover Truths, pulls back the curtain on undercover operations, addressing both the myths and the realities of life in deep cover.

He also connects with audiences check out the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where he continues to educate others about the risks of organized crime and the importance of financial vigilance. “I don't glamorize what I did,” Tyree concluded. “It was dangerous, it was messy, and sometimes it was terrifying. But it was necessary. And if people can learn something from my career, whether it's about cartels, motorcycle gangs, or money laundering, then sharing these truths is worth it.” Be sure to check out our website .

There was so much to unpack with Wes about his incredible career in law enforcement and his accomplishments off duty that this is my first three-part interview. Thanks for sticking around until the end! Honestly, I could have talked to Wes all day. I will definitely have him back on the show in the future. Here's a quick bio of just some of Wes’s accomplishments. Wes became a Hernando County Sheriff’s Deputy in 1988. As a deputy, Wes served as a S.W.A.T. lead, having completed the FBI S.W.A.T. school in 1995. Wes was a Defensive Tactics Instructor, anti-crime and property Detective, and earned the Florida Medal of Valor in 1996 for his heroism by disregarding his own safety, running into an apartment fire, saving multiple lives, and Mittens the cat. In 1998, he was hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Wes had a 23-year career with the DEA and has been stationed in Field Divisions such as: St. Louis, Miami, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, and internationally in cities such as Guatemala City, Guatemala, Caracas, Venezuela, Cartagena, Colombia, and Bogota, Colombia. During this time, he was representing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in positions such as: supervisory special agent, country attaché, assistant country attaché, Deputy Section Chief, Assistant to the Global Deputy Chief of Operations, and Assistant Special Agent in Charge. Wes was paralyzed in an auto accident where a drunk driver and career criminal had been at fault. Fortunately, he recovered from his spinal cord injury (C5/6) fracture and went back to being a DEA agent. The suspect later absconded and was on the run for 23 years only to be captured in 2024. He was given probation for 6 months by a local judge in Minnesota. From 2012 to 2015, Wes was assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency as an Assignee to various locations in the Western Hemisphere, conducting various classified activities on behalf of the DEA while embedded with the CIA. He has worked with some of the most prestigious law enforcement and military agencies, conducting operations and training modules, with the FBI, Secret Service, Defense Intelligence Service, US Army Special Forces, and Navy Seals. As a DEA agent, rising through the ranks to Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Los Angeles, he was the division's Strike Force Commander, where he oversaw global money-laundering investigations, High Value Mexican Cartel Investigation, and led his teams in pursuit of some of the largest cases on the globe. Thanks again for sticking around for the conclusion of this amazing interview. I think we covered a lot of ground and went places that I didn’t foresee. But that’s the fun of running a podcast. Please enjoy the conclusion of my interview with Wes Tabor. In today’s episode, we discuss: · What was the motivation for informants working with the DEA in Venezuela? · Hezbollah and Hamas in Venezuela? · The TDA gang that started in Venezuela and them spreading. This gang and others are spreading into the United States, and the influence they have and how they gain traction in America. · What are the most dangerous gangs we should be the most aware of, and what can be done to stop them? · The U.S./Mexican border has been a hot button for a while now and is in the news all the time. What are his thoughts, and how easy has it been and is it for these gangs to come into our country illegally? · Gangs communicating and recruiting through encrypted social media. · International gangs using cryptocurrencies. · I don’t think the average American understands these gangs and what they are capable of. I think about the murder rates you had in your book in Jamaica and Central America, 2000-2017: 2.5 million murders, 2/3 of the world’s murders. Should we be worried that this will spill over into our country? · In Milwaukee, we had the Latin (Spanish Cobras, Latin Kings, Brown Pride, Mexican Posse, and La Familia) and Black gangs (Gangster Disciples, Black Gangster Disciples, Kia Boys, and Vice Lords). The Latin gangs were much more organized, and the OGs didn’t give up much to the cops. They were busted with RICO cases, but all that did was bring in the black gangs where there was a void. It feels like a war that never ends. What can be done to stop it? · His book, Infiltrate America - Blood Routes and the Rise of Latin American Gangs. Why write it? · How painful was it for him to write this book? From personal experience, I know this can put PTSD into overdrive, reliving some ugly stuff. · Post-retirement from the DEA. What does he miss the most/least from LE? All of this and more on today’s episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.

DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. When most people imagine the Caribbean, they think of turquoise waters, white sand beaches, rum cocktails, and vibrant island music. The idea of violent crime, drugs, and federal law enforcement operations rarely comes to mind. But behind the postcard-perfect scenery, the Caribbean plays a major role in the global drug trade, and with it, comes a dangerous underworld of money, guns, and organized crime. In the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent Jack McFarland knows this world all too well. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. Jack spent over three decades in the trenches with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). From his early days as a football coach and teacher to chasing drug traffickers through the Caribbean, his story reflects the global reach of America's drug war, and the brave men and women fighting it on the front lines. Now retired and a keynote speaker, Jack shares stories from his work with the DEA, including international interdiction operations, violent shootouts, and the complex partnership between the DEA and the police in the Caribbean. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Hidden Drug Highway in Paradise. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. “The Caribbean is beautiful, but it's also a major hub in the global drug trade,” Jack said during a recent appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Podcast, available on Apple, Spotify, and major TV and podcast platforms. Much of the Caribbean lies along major smuggling routes between South America and the United States. Narcotics such as cocaine and heroin often move by sea, carried in everything from high-speed boats to drug submarines. Once in the Caribbean, the drugs are repackaged and rerouted, often with the help of armed criminal groups. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. As a Supervisory Special Agent with the DEA's Caribbean Division, Jack helped lead operations that intercepted everything from cartel-run aircraft to high-seas smuggling vessels. One of the division's most notable seizures came on March 31, 2014, when the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force (CCSF) intercepted a Zodiac-type vessel off Dorado, Puerto Rico. On board? Two Venezuelan nationals and 1,774 kilograms of cocaine. “These arrests are a clear indication of the continued success of the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force,” said Rosa Emilia Rodríguez-Vélez, U.S. Attorney for the District of Puerto Rico. “This is just another example of the fine work our state and federal law enforcement partners accomplish every day.” When Interdiction Turns Violent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Not all operations end smoothly. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. On November 17, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents engaged in a shootout while trying to intercept a suspicious vessel near Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. As agents approached, a gun battle broke out, leaving one DEA partner agent dead, others wounded, and two U.S. citizens arrested after over 1,300 kilograms of cocaine were recovered. It's a grim reminder that the fight against drug trafficking in the Caribbean isn't just about seizures, it's a deadly, high-stakes war against violent criminals. The Broader Impact of Crime in the Caribbean Many are shocked to learn that the Caribbean is one of the most violent regions in the Americas. Fueled by transnational gangs, economic struggles, and a deterioration of social structures, violent crime has exploded in several countries. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. In Haiti, where gangs have seized control of much of the capital, over 2,500 people were killed or injured in just the first quarter of 2024. This disturbing trend has sparked deep concern among Caribbean leaders. At a recent Caribbean Community (Caricom) summit, regional heads of state cited “levels of crime and violence... fueled in part by firearms and ammunition trafficking, transnational criminal networks, and a deterioration of social structures.” DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Jack puts it bluntly: “Where there are drugs, there are guns. And with guns, there's always violence.” The DEA's Mission in the Caribbean The Drug Enforcement Administration, established in 1973 during President Nixon's war on drugs, is the lead U.S. agency for combatting illegal narcotics. While most Americans associate DEA operations with big city drug busts or cartels, the agency plays a vital role in the Caribbean, partnering with local and international police forces to stop the flow of drugs into the U.S. The DEA Caribbean Division covers a wide area, including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica, the Netherlands Antilles, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and others. Its mission is not just enforcement, but also coordination, training local police, gathering intelligence, and working alongside global partners. With units like the Caribbean Corridor Strike Force, the DEA focuses on interdiction, cutting off drug shipments before they reach U.S. soil. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. From Football Coach to Federal Agent. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. Before he was chasing smugglers, Jack McFarland was a high school teacher and football coach. His path from the classroom to DEA headquarters in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, is a testament to how varied law enforcement careers can be. From his early work in Philadelphia to leading international operations out of Baltimore, Jack has lived a life filled with purpose, and danger. Now retired, he uses his experience to speak, consult, and train law enforcement agencies across the country and beyond. He's also active on various social media platforms, where he shares insights on crime, policing, and global drug trends. Modern-Day Pirates and Real-World Consequences While pirates might sound like a fantasy from the past, modern-day piracy is a real concern in the Caribbean. Smugglers and traffickers are often armed, mobile, and ruthless. Some target commercial vessels; others engage in violent turf wars on land. Be sure to follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. In fact, many violent crimes across the region are tied to gang warfare over drug territory, made more deadly by a steady influx of weapons. DEA and the Police in the Caribbean, Drugs, Violence. The DEA, working closely with the police in the Caribbean, continues to be a frontline force in stemming this tide. But as Jack McFarland reminds us, “This isn't a job for the faint of heart. It's dangerous, complicated, and essential.” Behind the island sunsets and steel drum music lies a battle that few tourists ever see. The DEA and the police in the Caribbean are locked in a constant struggle against violent drug traffickers who exploit the region's geography for global operations. But thanks to seasoned agents like Jack McFarland and dedicated Caribbean law enforcement officers, progress continues. Their courage and commitment protect not just U.S. borders, but the people of the Caribbean as well.

Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Special Episode. The portrayal of law enforcement and criminal organizations in Hollywood has long shaped public perception. However, the media's representation of police work and the realities of drug gangs often diverge from the truth. Dr. Stephen Morreale, a retired DEA agent, college professor, and host of The Cop Doc Podcast, is dedicated to dispelling these myths. He sheds light on the overwhelming violence committed by organized drug gangs and the misconceptions surrounding law enforcement. The story on this episode of the "Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast", is available on their website for free in addition to Apple Podcasts and Spotify, as well as through other podcast platforms. The Reality of Drug Gangs in America Hollywood often glamorizes or oversimplifies the operations of drug gangs, but the truth is far more complex and violent. The United States is home to numerous gangs deeply involved in drug trafficking and organized crime. Groups like MS-13, Nuestra Familia, Surenos, Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, and 1% Motorcycle Clubs have an extensive presence across the country. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as of 2014, there were approximately 33,000 gangs in the U.S., classified into street gangs, motorcycle gangs, and prison gangs. While some of these organizations are multi-ethnic, many operate along racial lines, restricting membership based on ethnicity. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. At least 23 gangs operate at a national level, spanning multiple states and drug markets. Moreover, law enforcement has identified connections between transnational drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) and several street and prison gangs. Mexican DTOs, such as the Federation, the Gulf Cartel, the Juárez Cartel, and the Tijuana Cartel, leverage U.S. based Hispanic street gangs and prison gangs for drug smuggling, distribution, and enforcement. These DTOs avoid direct involvement in retail drug distribution, instead utilizing gang members to minimize their exposure to law enforcement. Read supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. The Role of the DEA and Law Enforcement, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is at the forefront of combating these criminal enterprises. Its mission is to enforce U.S. controlled substances laws, dismantle drug trafficking organizations, and reduce the availability of illicit drugs in domestic and international markets. Dr. Morreale, who served in law enforcement for 30 years, played a crucial role in these efforts, retiring as Assistant Special Agent in Charge for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Investigations. During his 20-year tenure with the DEA, he worked on financial investigations, asset forfeiture, and enforcement operations targeting major drug networks. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms In addition to his work with the DEA, Dr. Morreale was instrumental in advancing community policing efforts. In 1990, he co-founded the New England Community Police Partnership, a program that trained thousands of police officers and community members to foster better relationships between law enforcement and the public. He educated future law enforcement professionals as Chair and Full Professor of Criminal Justice at Worcester State University. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. Dispelling Hollywood Myths Through The Cop Doc Podcast Through his podcast, The Cop Doc Podcast, Dr. Morreale provides a platform for in-depth discussions on law enforcement, policing reforms, and the challenges officers face in the field. His expertise is especially relevant in an era where social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X play a significant role in shaping public opinion. Many misconceptions about law enforcement stem from sensationalized portrayals in movies and TV shows, leading to unrealistic expectations and misunderstandings about police procedures and challenges. Hollywood often focuses on dramatic shootouts, rogue cops, and quick case resolutions, but the truth is that real policing involves extensive investigations, intelligence gathering, and strategic planning. While media outlets and streaming services like Apple Podcasts and Spotify provide platforms for entertainment and also facts, it is crucial for the public to seek out factual information. This conversation is a valuable resource in this regard, offering insights from experienced law enforcement professionals and academics. Check out the show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms The Impact of Social Media and News Outlets, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. The role of social media in spreading misinformation cannot be overlooked. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X have become primary sources of news for many people, but they often contribute to the dissemination of biased or incomplete narratives about policing and criminal organizations. Dr. Morreale emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and fact-checking when consuming media. His work highlights the need for a balanced perspective that acknowledges both the challenges and successes of law enforcement efforts. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Conclusion, Hollywood and the Media Truth About Drug Gangs and Police. Dr. Stephen Morreale's career in law enforcement and academia has given him a unique perspective on the realities of drug gangs and policing. Through his Podcast, he continues to challenge Hollywood myths, educate the public, and provide a factual account of law enforcement. In an age where media influence is stronger than ever, it is essential to seek the truth beyond dramatized portrayals and social media narratives. By engaging with experts and factual sources, the public can gain a more accurate understanding of the complexities of crime and policing in America.

Association Between Telehealth Initiation Of Stimulant Therapy And New Substance Use Disorder Diagnoses Health Affairs During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) temporarily allowed for prescribing of controlled substances via telehealth and extended the policy through the end of 2025. With concern about potential adverse outcomes with this policy, there is debate about making it permanent. The authors utilized commercial and Medicaid claims data to assess newly diagnosed substance use disorders (SUD) after initiation of stimulants via telehealth versus in-person visits to inform this policy decision. In unadjusted analysis, patients initiated on stimulants via telehealth visits had higher rates of non-ADHD psychiatric comorbidities and new diagnoses of SUD in the year following initiation. In the adjusted analysis, controlling for psychiatric comorbidities, they did not find a difference in SUD outcomes. The authors suggest additional research to inform policy decisions.

L'affirmation selon laquelle Coca-Cola « produit de la cocaïne » repose sur un processus industriel bien particulier, hérité de l'histoire de la marque et toujours en vigueur aujourd'hui aux États-Unis. En effet, la célèbre entreprise utilise encore des feuilles de coca dans la fabrication de ses boissons, bien qu'elles soient officiellement débarrassées de leur alcaloïde principal : la cocaïne. Toutefois, cette dernière, extraite lors du processus, ne disparaît pas pour autant.1. L'histoire du Coca-Cola et de la cocaïneÀ sa création en 1886 par le pharmacien John Stith Pemberton, Coca-Cola contenait réellement de la cocaïne, issue des feuilles de coca, ainsi que de la caféine extraite de la noix de kola. À l'époque, cette boisson était vendue comme un tonique médicinal aux vertus stimulantes. Ce n'est qu'au début du XXe siècle, avec l'évolution de la réglementation et la montée des préoccupations sur les effets des drogues, que la cocaïne a été retirée de la recette, bien que les feuilles de coca aient continué à être utilisées.2. Un monopole exclusif sur l'importation de la feuille de cocaAujourd'hui, Coca-Cola est la seule entreprise aux États-Unis à bénéficier d'une autorisation fédérale lui permettant d'importer légalement des feuilles de coca. Cette autorisation spéciale est rendue possible grâce à un partenariat historique avec la société Stepan Company, une entreprise chimique basée dans l'Illinois. Stepan est chargée d'importer et de traiter ces feuilles sous un contrôle strict de la Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).Le processus consiste à extraire la cocaïne des feuilles de coca afin de ne conserver que les arômes et autres composés utilisés dans la recette secrète du Coca-Cola. Mais au lieu de détruire la cocaïne extraite, celle-ci est purifiée et vendue à l'entreprise pharmaceutique Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, spécialisée dans la production de médicaments, notamment des anesthésiques.3. La revente légale de cocaïne pour l'industrie pharmaceutiqueMallinckrodt est l'un des principaux fournisseurs de chlorhydrate de cocaïne, un anesthésique local encore utilisé dans certains actes médicaux, en particulier en chirurgie ORL (nez, gorge, oreilles). Ce marché représente une valeur estimée à trois milliards de dollars par an aux États-Unis. Cette cocaïne pharmaceutique est donc un sous-produit direct du processus d'extraction réalisé pour Coca-Cola.4. Une situation unique au mondeCe système est strictement encadré par les autorités américaines et n'a pas d'équivalent ailleurs dans le monde. La feuille de coca reste interdite à l'importation aux États-Unis sauf pour cet usage précis. Ainsi, bien que Coca-Cola ne commercialise plus de cocaïne dans ses boissons, son processus de production contribue indirectement à l'approvisionnement légal de cocaïne médicale aux États-Unis.En somme, Coca-Cola ne « produit » pas directement de cocaïne, mais son activité entraîne mécaniquement l'extraction et la revente légale de cette substance à des fins médicales, un paradoxe historique et industriel fascinant.

DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? In the shadowy world of organized crime and the escalating fentanyl crisis, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is fighting battles that often feel like they’re ripped from the pages of a thriller novel. From staging murders to protect witnesses to seizing deadly amounts of synthetic opioids, the stakes are higher than ever. Cheri Oz, the Supervising Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Phoenix office, offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into these dangerous yet critical operations. Check out and follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. The Deadly Toll of Fentanyl Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, has become a leading cause of drug-related deaths in the United States. In 2022 alone, over 107,000 Americans lost their lives to drug overdoses, with fentanyl playing a major role in the tragedy. In Arizona, the DEA seized 12 million fentanyl pills in 2021—double the amount confiscated the year before. It is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The drug’s danger lies in its potency and ubiquity. Often mixed with heroin, cocaine, or pressed into counterfeit pills, fentanyl’s presence is often unknown to users, leading to fatal overdoses. The illicit market thrives on synthetic drugs due to their ease of production and transport, with precursor chemicals frequently sourced from China and synthesized in massive “super labs” controlled by cartels. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? The DEA’s High-Stakes Work Faced with this crisis, the DEA is evolving its strategies. The agency isn’t just seizing drugs—it’s saving lives, both on the streets and in courtrooms. Cheri Oz, who describes her role as “the best job in the world,” recounts the complexity of battling drug cartels while keeping witnesses safe. Look for supporting stories about this in platforms like Medium, Newsbreak and Blogspot. One of the most harrowing tactics the DEA has employed is staging fake murders. In rare cases, federal agents orchestrate elaborate ruses to convince organized crime groups that a target, often a witness slated to testify, has been eliminated. These staged murders are high-stakes gambits, requiring meticulous planning to ensure they’re convincing enough to fool some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. A Witness in Danger Early in her career, Cheri Oz was tasked with saving the life of a witness who had a contract out for their death. The individual’s testimony was crucial to taking down a violent organized crime group, but their safety couldn’t be guaranteed through traditional means. The solution? Stage their murder. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Newsbreak, Medium and most all social media platforms. Did it work? Oz confirms it did, though the operation was not without its risks. The witness’s “death” was convincingly staged, complete with evidence designed to mislead the cartel. The plan not only protected the individual but also ensured their testimony could be used to secure convictions. Combating the Fentanyl Crisis While dramatic cases like staged murders highlight the extreme measures the DEA takes, the agency’s day-to-day work is equally intense. The illegal drug market has shifted from marijuana to synthetic drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl, requiring constant adaptation. Keep informed by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media outlets. “Now, with these precursor chemicals coming from China and these super labs manufacturing synthetic fentanyl and methamphetamine, we are looking at an unquantifiable amount of drugs focused right here in Arizona,” says Oz. “It is more terrifying now than I’ve ever seen.” Platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, Apple Podcasts and Spotify make these stories more accessible. The DEA’s Phoenix division works tirelessly to disrupt this supply chain, seizing enough fentanyl in recent years to kill millions of people. Yet the fight is far from over. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. Did It Work? Spreading Awareness In addition to enforcement, the DEA is leveraging media and technology to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn have become critical tools for reaching the public. The agency’s message is also spreading through podcasts available on Spotify, Apple, and NewsBreak, where experts like Cheri Oz share insights into their work and the broader war on drugs. Stay up to date by following the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest, Newsbreak, Medium and other social media platforms. The Cost of Success While successes like witness protection and massive drug seizures showcase the DEA’s capabilities, they come at a cost. The emotional toll on agents and the communities they serve is immense. Yet for Oz and her team, the work is fulfilling, knowing they’re making a difference in one of the most critical battles of our time. DEA Murder Fake To Save A Life. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, which is available as a free podcast on their website on platforms like Apple, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Whether it’s faking a murder to save a life or seizing enough fentanyl to protect an entire city, the DEA’s mission is clear: to safeguard communities and stem the tide of deadly drugs. As the crisis evolves, so too will the agency’s strategies, ensuring that no tactic is off the table when it comes to saving lives. Her inspiring story is available across platforms, from LinkedIn discussions to viral threads on Pinterest, Medium, Blogspot and Newsbreak.

Donald Trump hasn't even been sworn in yet, and it seems his influence is waning. Senate Republicans rejected Rick Scott for Senate Majority Leader. Trump's pick for Attorney General, Matt Gaetz, had to withdraw after it became clear that many Senate Republicans would not support him. Trump named Chad Chronister as his pick to head up the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) but, after some Republican criticism, Chronister withdrew his name (causing Trump to play catch-up, thereafter claiming that HE pulled Chronister's name).

Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán is a notorious Mexican drug lord who was once considered one of the most powerful and elusive drug traffickers in the world. Born on April 4, 1957, in La Tuna, Mexico, he rose through the ranks of the Sinaloa Cartel, a powerful drug trafficking organization based in the state of Sinaloa, Mexico.El Chapo gained notoriety for his ability to evade capture for many years despite being one of the most wanted men by both Mexican and U.S. authorities. He was known for his cunning tactics, including the use of intricate tunnel systems to transport drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.In 1993, he was arrested in Guatemala and extradited to Mexico, where he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking, criminal association, and bribery charges. However, in 2001, he escaped from prison by reportedly hiding in a laundry cart.For over a decade, El Chapo remained on the run, continuing to lead the Sinaloa Cartel and expanding its operations internationally.

He was subsequently extradited to the United States to face multiple charges related to drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime.El Chapo's trial in the United States began in November 2018 in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York.

He was known for his cunning tactics, including the use of intricate tunnel systems to transport drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.In 1993, he was arrested in Guatemala and extradited to Mexico, where he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking, criminal association, and bribery charges. However, in 2001, he escaped from prison by reportedly hiding in a laundry cart.For over a decade, El Chapo remained on the run, continuing to lead the Sinaloa Cartel and expanding its operations internationally.

Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. The U.S.- Mexico border has long been a battleground in the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime. Yet, a lesser-known and equally troubling battle involves the corruption of federal agents — from corrections officers and border patrol to FBI and DEA agents. This episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio show and Podcast explores how cartels corrupt federal agents, the investigations that unveil these betrayals, and the outcomes. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and most all social media platforms. Cartel corruption of Federal Agents often begins with small, seemingly harmless actions by federal agents. For instance, a border patrol officer might turn a blind eye to suspicious activity in exchange for a quick payoff or accept a small bribe for allowing contraband through. These seemingly minor transgressions can escalate, gradually entangling the agents in a web of cartel operations. Once compromised, agents find themselves increasingly beholden to criminal groups, leading to more significant acts of corruption. Listen to this interview as a free podcast on our website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. The journey from minor misconduct to severe criminal involvement is often marked by a series of careless, even mindless, decisions. According to Ken Strange, a retired federal agent with the FBI, USAID, and the Department of Justice (DOJ), "many major corruption investigations are triggered by stupid, mindless incidents by the officers involved." Strange's insights are informed by years of experience investigating cartel corruption among federal agents. His new book, A Cop's Son: One G-Man's Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels, sheds light on the multi-faceted corruption efforts by cartels targeting FBI and DEA agents. Ken Strange's career spanned three federal agencies — the FBI, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and the DOJ — and involved conflicts with jihadists, cartels, and international fraudsters. In his book, he breaks down his federal career into three parts: the fight against jihad (FBI), the fight against global fraud (USAID OIG), and the fight against the cartels (DOJ OIG). The book has received praise from notable figures in law enforcement, including former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and former LAPD Chief William Bratton. Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. Strange's book is more than just a recounting of his experiences; it is a unique exploration of the variety of investigative stories accrued across three distinguished U.S. government agencies. His friend, a prominent Hollywood actor, has even suggested that the book's final chapter would make for a great movie.

The FBI has intensified its focus on corruption at the Southwest border. Out of the 700 agents dedicated to combating public corruption, about 120 are assigned to this region. These agents coordinate their investigative efforts with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG), Customs and Border Protection Internal Affairs (CBP-IA), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The results of these efforts are significant: over 400 public corruption cases have originated from this region, leading to more than 100 arrests and over 130 state and federal cases prosecuted in FY 2009 alone. To further these efforts, the FBI has established 12 border corruption task forces along the Southwest border, which share intelligence with groups such as the Southwest Intelligence Group (SWIG), the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC), and Mexican legal attachés to identify and disrupt Mexican drug trafficking organizations (DTOs). Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. The interview is available as a free podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website or most major podcast platforms. International cooperation is crucial in the fight against cartel corruption. The FBI, for example, has strengthened its ties with Mexican law enforcement. Recently, the FBI's McAllen office hosted 30 Mexican police officers for a week of training and information sharing through the Mexican American Liaison and Law Enforcement Training (MALLET) program. This week-long initiative included modules on ethics, firearms, and investigative techniques aimed at building law enforcement contacts with the Mexican government. During a Senate hearing, Senator Mark Pryor expressed concerns about cartels infiltrating U.S. law enforcement, stating, "U.S. border defenses have been beefed up, which has helped to squeeze these drug routes. However, to gain an advantage, the cartels have begun to infiltrate U.S. law enforcement." This infiltration is not limited to federal agents; state and local governments are also targets. A recent news report highlighted a 40% increase in corruption arrests within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and dozens of investigations are currently underway. While other federal agencies, like the DEA, FBI, and Transportation Security Administration (TSA), are also targeted, CBP appears most vulnerable due to its frontline role and rapid expansion in recent years. The doubling of its size over the past decade has introduced many new faces, some of whom may not be fully vetted. Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, MeWe, Pinterest and other social media platforms for the latest episodes and news. There is a growing concern that CBP is not employing all available tools to screen job applicants effectively. The agency aims to polygraph all applicants, but currently, only about 10% are tested. This lack of thorough screening raises concerns not just about drugs, but also about guns, money, and even the potential for terrorists entering the U.S. if border defenses are weakened. A report from U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley's office has called for a reassessment of U.S. security cooperation with Mexico. Tracing allegations of corruption back to the 1980s, the report accuses U.S. officials of overlooking Mexican corruption to secure cooperation in drug seizures and arrests. This leniency has come at a cost, placing U.S. agents at risk and undermining the long-term fight against cartels. "For the past 40 years, U.S. officials have overlooked widespread corruption in Mexico in favor of cooperating with and funneling resources to foreign actors," the report states. It urges Congress to reevaluate Washington's security cooperation policies in the Western Hemisphere. The DEA continues to pursue evidence globally, including investigations and prosecutions related to public corruption. Cartel Corruption of Federal Agents, FBI, DEA, at the Border and More. Listen to the interview which is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, our website and most major podcast Platforms. The corruption of federal agents by cartels at the U.S.-Mexico border remains a pressing issue that requires a multi-faceted approach, involving stricter vetting processes, stronger international cooperation, and a commitment to transparency. The battle against corruption is ongoing, and understanding its complexities is the first step toward winning it.

We are honored to welcome DEA Agent Steve Murphy to the Libertas International Podcast! Steve Murphy is a retired DEA agent renowned for his pivotal role in the pursuit and eventual capture of the infamous Colombian drug lord, Pablo Escobar. Born in the United States, Murphy joined the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the 1980s and was stationed in Colombia during the height of Escobar's reign of terror. Alongside his partner, Javier Peña, Murphy worked tirelessly to dismantle Escobar's Medellín Cartel, which was responsible for a significant portion of the cocaine trafficked into the United States during that era.Murphy's efforts, often at great personal risk, contributed significantly to the DEA's operations in Colombia and the eventual downfall of Escobar in 1993. His experiences during this tumultuous period were later dramatized in the popular Netflix series "Narcos," where actor Boyd Holbrook portrayed him.Following his retirement from the DEA, Murphy has become a public speaker, sharing his experiences and insights on law enforcement, international drug trafficking, and the challenges of combating organized crime. He also co-authored a book titled "Manhunters: How We Took Down Pablo Escobar," which provides a detailed account of his and Peña's roles in the high-stakes operation against the Medellín Cartel.Steve joins the podcast to talk about the search for Pablo Escobar but also to talk about working with law enforcement in a different country and how to avoid the appearance of the "ugly" American. He also talks about how to stay brave in the fight vs. evil in the modern day as he did when he was facing one of the most evil men that has ever walked the earth.

Searches of innocent passengers at airport boarding gates continue nationwide as federal drug officers look for cash they can seize.Atlanta News First Investigates documented the practice in the series In Plane Sight, showing how plainclothes officers confront passengers who've already successfully cleared inspections by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).In court records, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and federal prosecutors describe these stops as “cold consent encounters.” Multiple videos recorded by passengers show their consent was compelled by agents who told them they would otherwise miss their flights, or face a drug dog screening and a long wait for a search warrant.Read the full story here: https://www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2024/08/14/new-video-shows-its-nearly-impossible-say-no-dea-searches-airport-gates/

He was known for his cunning tactics, including the use of intricate tunnel systems to transport drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.In 1993, he was arrested in Guatemala and extradited to Mexico, where he was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking, criminal association, and bribery charges. However, in 2001, he escaped from prison by reportedly hiding in a laundry cart.For over a decade, El Chapo remained on the run, continuing to lead the Sinaloa Cartel and expanding its operations internationally. During this time, he became one of the most powerful and feared drug lords in the world, amassing a vast fortune estimated to be billions of dollars.In 2014, he was captured again by Mexican authorities in a joint operation with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the city of Mazatlán, Mexico. He was subsequently extradited to the United States to face multiple charges related to drug trafficking, money laundering, and organized crime.El Chapo's trial in the United States began in November 2018 in a federal court in Brooklyn, New York. The trial was highly publicized and revealed shocking details about his criminal empire, including his involvement in smuggling massive quantities of drugs into the United States and his use of violence and corruption to maintain control.In February 2019, after a three-month trial, El Chapo was found guilty on all counts, including operating a continuing criminal enterprise, international distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other drugs, as well as involvement in multiple murders and money laundering schemes.

In recent years, drug cartels have built a vast and lucrative business selling fake prescription drugs laced with fentanyl—which drives addiction faster than any other synthetic narcotic, says Michael Brown, who was a special agent for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for over three decades.The majority of people dying from fentanyl-related overdoses now are taking what they think is a fairly innocuous prescription drug like Xanax, and they have no idea that it's been laced with fentanyl, he says.The DEA says seven out of ten pills seized by the organization contain a deadly dose of fentanyl.“You take that wrong pill for the first time, and your life is over,” Mr. Brown says.Now he's global director for counter-narcotics technology at Rigaku Analytical Devices, which produces equipment that can identify narcotic substances.“In the 60s and 70s, drug dealers were concerned about killing their clients, because they didn't want to kill their clients. But the client base today is so vast and diverse that they can lose 100,000 and still make hundreds of millions of dollars,” Mr. Brown says.In this episode, he breaks down this new drug cartel business model, how the supply chain works, the role of Chinese money-laundering proxies, and what he believes it would take to turn the situation around.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
