White Supremacist Group Works with Gulf Cartel to Traffic Meth into Texas

Source: Fox Latino

Mexico’s Gulf drug cartel has allegedly joined up with an unlikely ally to bring illegal drugs, including methamphetamine, over the border and into Texas.

The link between the cartel and the white supremacist prison gang and organized crime group, the Aryan Brotherhood, reveals that Mexican drug trafficking organizations have expanded their business networks into the U.S. prison and street gangs…and that the Aryan Brotherhood is putting business before ideology when it comes to their dealings with the Mexican groups.

“It may seem puzzling that a white supremacist gang would work with a Mexican criminal organization,” wrote Claire O'Neill McCleskey of Insight Crime. “But the collaboration is not unusual for the Aryan Brotherhood. In the California prison system, the Aryan Brotherhood has a longstanding if fluid alliance with the Mexican mafia against black gangs.”


According to the Mexican newswire Notimex, an agent working for the U.S. Bureau Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms stated that an Aryan Brotherhood member, James Sharron, alias "Flounder," admitted after his arrest that he worked as a go-between for the group and the Gulf Cartel as well helping bring hundreds of pounds of methamphetamine into Texas from Mexico for distribution.

They engage in criminal activity all the time because they don't believe our government is legitimate so they believe the law doesn't apply to them. When I lived up north they were responsible for most of the burglaries, hold-ups and drug activity in those mostly white states.

Saw it on TV today. I'm glad they've done a better job of controlling the ingredients in the US.
