WASHINGTON (apro).-Antony Blinken, Secretary of State of Joe Biden's administration, downplayed the merits of the government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador in the fight against drug trafficking, especially synthetic drugs made with fentanyl.

"They (the Mexicans) have seized record amounts of fentanyl, they have dismantled production centers but, all of that is because of our assistance; our help, an example of the allow them to make additional resources to strengthen their capacity," Blinken stated.


In a hearing before the Appropriations Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. foreign policy chief attributed the Mexican government's progress against drug trafficking to the money they receive from Washington.


"It is very important that we deploy to the border the most effective and modern technology to detect the movement of fentanyl and synthetic opioids into the United States," Blinken added in his remarks to the Committee to justify and request more budget for his Secretariat.


"We have seen the overwhelming amount of fentanyl coming into this country through Mexico, so moving technology to both sides of the border makes a difference," Blinken stressed in the question and answer exchange with members of the Appropriations Committee.


The Secretary of State stressed as "critical" that the United States, with its financial assistance, continues to build a better capacity to contain its allied countries in the fight against drug trafficking and especially the production of synthetic drugs.


"Mexico is a good example of that, we have significantly increased our collaborative efforts with them in recent years to try to destroy, dismantle and eliminate these transnational criminal organizations," he told lawmakers.


As a result of U.S. support for López Obrador's government, Blinken said that the Mexicans have detected financial networks associated with drug trafficking and with intelligence information captured first and second-in-command of criminal organizations.

  1. Behind Blinken’s soulless, beady eyes lies a room temperature IQ.

    He’s pushing us full steam ahead on WW3 with Russia, full steam ahead on genocide in Gaza (apple doesn’t fall far from the tree there), and now he’s pretending AMLO is doing anything other than enabling the cartels poisoning Blinken’s countrymen. Just a stooge.

      You are just an armchair quarter back.
      There’s a reason he’s the Secretary of State and you’re a faceless internet warrior.
      You have no idea the challenges he faces.
      Let me guess, you could do better?

    3. Genocide in gaza? What are you talking? Arabs had so much chances to get their own country, there were so many peace talks and each time arafat and his friends backed out the last minute, the germans send water pipers for agriculture to them, they converted them to rockets and complained about not having enough food. So many arabs got killed by their own people just for not supporting the terrorists. Rockets attacks since the IDF retreat from gaza in 2005. Why its always religions people who fail to live a decent life?
      Have you checked the school books the kids in gaza got? Did tou ever read about the surfers from gaza who got meet off shore with jews to ride the waves, they got tortured and killed by hamas. You are bitching about capital punishment but hamas executed more people in the last 12 months than the US in 3 years. No trial, no defense, just torture until you confess and then stoned or shoot afterwards. Why is no arab country really helping them? They are easy minded, easy to manipulate cannon fodder for the gulf states and the iran. Do you know that egypt is blocking access to gaza as well, why would they do this? They know the gaza people. They dont want them! Nobody wants them.

    6. 10:38 You're pretty convincing, but I suggest you go back and look into all those topics a little deeper and better and pay attention to the details. Yeah there were a few peace talks with the Arafat, but they were deals that benefited the israelis in one way or another. As you should know, Gaza and the West Bank used to be connected. Israel came at them with a peace deal and a promise to fullfill and bring to fruition the two state solution. The Palestinians agreed to it, but israel never fulfilled it's promised obligation and did nothing to bring about the two state solution (but still kept land that was agreed upon which they shouldn't have due to the fact they didn't do their part of the agreement) and it continued with their bs. And that wasn't the first time the Palestinians had made concessions for peace, but you seem to either be ignorant and not know all that or you're a faqn clown with verbal skills that knows how to act, or both. I think it's the latter with a little more mixed in. Don't take my word on the subject, do some research and look into it yourself .

    11. @1046 hrs.: Hit the nail squarely on the head. (((They))) really get apoplectic when people start noticing "patterns." And even worse are the truly ignorant who blindly accept (((their))) pathetic excuses that lamely attempt to justify (((their))) criminality. Silent weapons to wage silent wars.

      The recent presidential (s)election in Mexico sure played out in (((their))) favor.

      P.S.--Blinken is a small, weak, gutless, cowardly, and effeminate little suit. Can't play guitar worth a good goddamn either, as evidenced by his recent Kiev nightclub "gig." Keep on rockin' in the "free world," Ant'nee. ;)

    19. @10.38. I have seen the books that some kids got in Gaza, but I've been to Israel and the teaching there is beyond belief. 10 year olds encouraged to debate whether Palestinian Muslims have souls. Teachers laughing indulgently when they call the local hungry Palestinian kids dogs. The anti-semitic bullshit bubbling up is disturbing, but you seem to have done all your "research" online.

    4. This guy is the fake Nuffy. You can tell because he has nothing to say. Let me explain what is going on here. The United States gives Mexico billions of dollars to fight the drug crisis. The Mexican government needs to show some kind of results in order for the American money to keep flowing in. They also work with the cartels. These government officials get money from both sides. They work with the cartels in order to set up these fake operations where they find drug laboratories. It's a very small insignificant loss for the cartels. It's the cost of doing business. These fake operations keep the Americans happy and gives the illusion that thing's are heading in the right direction. Notice that when these operations happen nobody is arrested? It's staged. The Real Nuff Said!!!

    8. @ 10.32. That isn't what is happening in Mexico. You make it sound like individuals are taking money from US agencies AND from traffickers. It doesn't work like that. Even during Garcia Lunas time it wasn't that simple. There are dozens of separate agencies all working with different agendas, with different external pressure. You talk about the money the US "gives" to fight the Drug War?
      The US made billions of dollars of profit that dwarfed their investment- or "Aid Donation"- from the changes to the Energy Bill that allowed US investors to move in like hyenas on areas that had no way to defend their land, but that wasn't reported in the US.
      As for those operations where "nobody is arrested", which operations are you on about?

  7. Blinken is downplaying the lame-duck AMLO so that when he throws a bone to Claudia for political or diplomatic reasons, his faint praise can be considered a thumbs-up to the new Mexican government for their 'vigorous efforts' to combat crime.

    1. When Blinken says that all of the captures and seizures were only possible because of the U.S's help then I could see how he is undermining Mexicos ability to combat crime. He's definitely downplaying the mexican governments achievements in an effort to disguise the U.S Governments inability to influence this AMLO's administration.
