Ep 129: Narcotheology Pt 1: Criminal Salvation

Up is Down Podcast

Greetings to the Living. Thank you for listening to Up Is Down and double-plus-good thanks to all who support this work. In this first of two part episode we dig into the current state of narco politics in Mexico following the apparent capture on January 5th of Ovidio Guzman, one of the sons of Jaoquin "El Chapo" Guzman and the supposed leader of the Los Chapitos faction of the fractured and disrupted Sinaloa Cartel.
Once again a power vacuum has emerged with the latest splintering in the operations of one of the most prolific and influential drug cartels in Mexico, the Sinaloa Cratel. We get into the players and regional characteristics of Sinaloa as well as a few other operations and examine the phenomena of Narcotheology; a sort of replacement faith of the poor and disenfranchised (mostly) men of Mexico in the form of sanctified religious doctrine giving allowance to and structure to the seemingly chaotic and brutal life in and around the cartels.
In this two part examination we learn about the fentanyl operations of the cartels as well as which drugs and industries are becomng dominated by the warring cartels, who supplies them and why, where the drugs and people are going, how the cartels are able to operate on either side of the border.
We also learn about the "saints" in the burgeoning practice of narcotheology, its systems, rules and bylaws, rituals, history and possible future direction of Latin America. If the past is any indication of the future, La Raza Cosmica and a rebirth of Atlantis may be closer than anyone thinks.
