In this episode, I sit down with Ed Calderon to delve deep into the mysterious and often misunderstood world of Santa Muerte, the Mexican folk saint associated with death. Drawing on over a decade of experience working in counter-narcotics, organised crime investigation, and public safety in Mexico, Ed provides a unique perspective on the cultural and spiritual practices surrounding Santa Muerte. During his career, Ed also coordinated executive protection details for high-level government officials and dignitaries, often in some of the most dangerous parts of the country, giving him unparalleled insight into Mexico's criminal and spiritual undercurrents. We explore Santa Muerte's complex origins in Catholicism and pre-Hispanic traditions, her evolution as a figure of devotion, and her connection to Mexican criminal occultism. Ed shares his personal journey, beginning with his upbringing in Tijuana, where Catholic traditions and veneration of figures like the Virgin of Guadalupe shaped his early spiritual framework. He discusses his firsthand experiences with the Mexican drug war, and how Santa Muerte became a pivotal force in his path toward healing and sobriety. We also discuss Ed's in-depth study of indigenous Mexican criminal culture, focusing on occult practices. His insights into the practices and rituals surrounding Santa Muerte, from offerings and altars to the significance of her colors, provide a rare glimpse into this fascinating faith. The Plus Show: In the extended Plus show, Ed recounts a shocking ritual he underwent—a simulated burial performed overnight under the influence of powerful hallucinogens. The ceremony, officiated by female practitioners, involved treating participants as if they were already dead: they were stripped of belongings, prayers were said over them, and they were buried in shallow graves. At daybreak, the participants were pulled from the graves, cut on the foot and palm, and had three secrets whispered to them, one being, "You are already dead." This intense ritual, likely a trabajo or spiritual working, blended Catholic rites with folk magic elements from traditions like Santería. Ed reflects on how this extraordinary ritual influenced his perspective and deepened his understanding of spiritual practices in Mexican culture.

Security consultant Ed Calderon returns to give Rep. Crenshaw an update on the cartel wars, what's behind the deep cultural distrust of Mexicans towards the United States, and the political outlook for the country as AMLO's presidential term comes to an end in 2024.

Ed Calderon says the incomplete wall on the U.S. Southern border with Mexico is like Swiss cheese. "It won't stop any of the growing threats posed by the Mexican drug cartels," he says. Ed Calderon spent a dozen years working in counter-narcotics and organized crime investigations in the northern border region of Mexico. Ed Calderon - Former Mexican Counter Narcotics Officer Fled For His Daughter's Life To The U.S. The former state police officer knew he had to leave when the leadership of his drug squad under a new presidential administration told him, “You can take the silver, or you can take the lead.” Which meant they were on the payroll of a cartel.  That night, Calderon fled Mexico with his three-year-old daughter for the safety of the United States.  In part two of my three-part series, Calderon gives a unique look inside the crime scene tape where Mexican cartel members and their puppets in police uniforms get away with murder. Calderon says it's getting deadlier with a war brewing between an old-line cartel and a new violent upstart.

Ed Calderon says the incomplete wall on the U.S. Southern border with Mexico is like Swiss cheese. "It won't stop any of the growing threats posed by the Mexican drug cartels," he says. Ed Calderon spent a dozen years working in counter-narcotics and organized crime investigations in the northern border region of Mexico. The former state police officer knew he had to leave when the leadership of his drug squad under a new presidential administration told him, “You can take the silver, or you can take the lead.” Which meant they were on the payroll of a cartel.  That night, Calderon fled Mexico with his three-year-old daughter for the safety of the United States.  In part two of my three-part series, Calderon gives a unique look inside the crime scene tape where Mexican cartel members and their puppets in police uniforms get away with murder. Calderon says it's getting deadlier with a war brewing between an old-line cartel and a new violent upstart. In my 3rd and final episode with Ed Calderon, we will discuss how the drug cartels transformed his quiet town of Tijuana into one of Mexico's worst killing zones. Plus, how the Cartels are inducting child soldiers into their ranks by using occult practices of sacrifice. And finally, Calderon's journey to America, where he now works as a security consultant.  We want to become your favorite true crime podcast. Please leave a review wherever you listen.

Ed Calderon is surprised he didn't die by the age of 30. That's the fate that many Mexican law enforcement officers face. But Ed wasn't just a cop; he worked for a special paramilitary police force that was created for the sole purpose of battling the drug cartels. Just being there meant he was being hunted by some of the most dangerous people in Mexico with no code of ethics. He learned to use a knife as a kid, and guns, well… everyone had guns in Mexico in spite of the laws. A series of events in his childhood, profoundly marked by the loss of his brother, broke apart Ed's family and left him rudderless. After working a bunch of odd jobs, Ed found an ad in the newspaper seeking single men without kids for a new special police force. He knew he had to join. That's when Ed found himself on the front lines of the Mexican cartel wars, seeing and experiencing things that would put most of us in a psychiatric institution. When fate eventually handed Ed a daughter, he reconsidered his career and made his way to America. In this episode, Ed shares his journey from his hometown of Tijuana, one of the hottest battlefields in the cartel wars, to what he refers to as his “after party,” teaching others the means to their own survival. From hosting classroom seminars, to consulting on movies, to consulting with the military and Congress, Ed's path to his after party is a wild and captivating ride.

I try to examine how the country became so violent, America's influence in the drug trade, human trafficking, drug trafficking, the CIA, Fast and Furious, Santa Muerte, mass graves, police corruption, political corruption, Mexican culture, the war in Ukraine, China's influence in Mexico, fentanyl, the drug crisis in America and how it relates to China and Mexico and much much more!

Ed Calderon spent nearly two decades running counter-operations against cartels inside Mexico. He joined Rep. Crenshaw for a wide-ranging conversation about the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels. They talk about how both cartels rose to power, their battle tactics against Mexican police and paramilitary forces, using TikTok to recruit soldiers and traffic victims, their secret occult practices, how they're infiltrating the United States, what average Mexican citizens think of the cartels, and what the future holds as the ultra-violent Jalisco New Generation makes further gains in territory across Mexico and the United States. Ed Calderon started his career as a police officer in Tijuana and worked in the fields of counter-narcotics, organized crime investigation, and public safety in the northern border region of Mexico. Today he is a security consultant who has worked with the FBI, Navy SEALs, and special forces groups from around the world.

⚜️⚜️⚜️ This episode was a clinic. I learned quite a bit just sitting there listening to the information structure. We speak about the humanity of a protector, the reality that many don't want to admit and avoid while pretending to be a little more tactical than is even realistic sometimes. We spoke about ways to become better, hard skills, soft skills and we really focused on vehicle Combatives/Glen fighting around cars because that is his subject at the Protector Symposium 5.0. This episode is one of the most intense episodes I've done in a long time because of his in-depth knowledge on this subject matter and firearms is so deep. It was really valuable to listen as an instructor myself as Zero painted a picture and gave solid instruction on many topics. What I love about instructor Zero is his heart from what I can see during my interactions with them. He's extremely passionate, always over-delivers, really cares, and he‘s old-school. So, his code is based on honor. He is an accomplished academic with a background as a professor. An accomplished instructor, teaching elite fighting forces internationally throughout the year. And he is most of all, a genuine person and to me that means everything. We are honored to have him at the Protector Symposium coming up. Don't miss this, it is genuinely the training event opportunity of a lifetime! ⭕ ABOUT Instructor Zero @instructorzero The infamous instructor is flying over the pond to join and train us during this live event. He's been operational and instructing for well over a decade on many continents, teaching many of the world's fighting forces the skills they need to be effective out in the field. As we know most violent encounters happen while we are in transitional spaces moving from a safe location such as our home or office building to another safe location such as a vehicle in many cases. This course will equip our patrons with the skills necessary to have a notable tactical advantage during a gunfight in these types of environments.

Raul Martinez is a warrior who specializes in a type of close quarter combat most avoid. He is definitely my type of human being and I've got love for him based on the values we share both on and off of the battlefield. What he teaches is one very important piece on the spectrum of protection tools and tactics that every professional Protector really needs to understand. You never know when you're gonna find yourself in close quarters battle fighting for your life over a weapon of any type. Whether it's yours, there's or someone else's, you have to know how to control and implement the tools of war that you carry and or that you may find on the battlefield. Law Enforcement officers are shot with their own weapons frequently and CCW owners fall victim to the same types of threats as well. This course will give you the skills and knowledge to help you understand what to do when things get physical and there is a weapon involved. Make no mistake these are extremely important life savings skills for anyone caring any type of weapon in today's society. If you do not learn how to do these things, you may one day find out that you are nothing more than a walking holster for your enemy… And my friends, let me tell you there are so many walking holsters in this world right now.
