When addressing the ongoing issues of homelessness, crime and filth in their cities, local politicians and bureaucrats will simply throw up their hands saying that these are extremely difficult problems bordering on the unsolvable… and so they persist. A recent book written by a team of career investigators and litigators provides evidence for the notion that homelessness, crime and filth are actually being actively promoted by government so that international drug cartels may flourish. “Report to the Governor” by John Thaler became available late last month and it provides evidence for the notion that things are the way they are in many American cities because international drug cartels are exerting a tremendous corrupting influence over American government and that these Third World-like conditions are a direct result of this influence. This entire article quotes heavily from Thaler’s book.

“Report to the Governor” The Information War Goes NUCLEAR! 🤯
The fact that obscene amounts of narcotics are flowing freely into America over our southern border should be a surprise to no one. Americans consume more than $150B of illicit drugs every year. As a White House document says:
“Mexican Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) are the greatest drug trafficking threat to the United States; they control most of the U.S. drug market and have established varied transportation routes, have advanced communications capabilities, and hold strong affiliations with criminal groups and gangs in the United States. Mexican TCOs supply the majority of the heroin, fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, and foreign-produced marijuana available in U.S. illicit drug markets. These drugs are also smuggled into the United States across other land, sea, and air borders, but not on the same scale as the substances transported across the SWB.”
For the cartels, the staggering amount of revenue resulting from these narcotics sales (as well as from associated activities such as gambling, prostitution, and human and weapons trafficking) creates a new set of problems. Or as Frank Lopez said in the movie Scarface, “And then you’re going to find out that your biggest problem is not bringing in the stuff, but what to do with all the F*CKING CASH!!!” The money needs to be laundered, or ‘cleaned’ as they say, in order to disassociate the funds from illegal activity. This ‘cleaning’ of illicit funds involves massive government corruption and has given rise to myriad other scams. But this process most commonly involves real estate.
Our fraudulent government
Evidence presented in Report to the Governor details how proceeds from cartel operations are commonly laundered through real estate fraud, especially involving single family homes. This fraud involves government corruption at every level and supports a host of other, associated crimes. Hiding the profits from cartel operations also involves tax evasion, payroll theft, bankruptcy fraud, falsified charitable donations, tuition fraud, insurance fraud, bribery, extortion, judicial misconduct and more. These other illegal activities also serve to diversify cartel operations and maximize profits. These scams commonly require forged documents as well as ‘phantom’ individuals. These fraudulent documents and phantom individuals are accepted into Arizona’s central government database and now appear as wholly legitimate, allowing the cartels to conduct officially sanctioned racketeering. In this section we explore details of all this as we quote heavily from Report to the Governor.
Beginning in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa in the early 1980s, cash earned or otherwise collected in the sale of illegal narcotics and from human trafficking activities conducted by the Sinaloa Cartel and other Mexican drug cartels has been laundered through the purchase of single-family homes. Laundering of cartel monies in Arizona through purchases and sales of single-family homes began in or about 1994. It focused on new construction and to this day homebuilders are integral participants. Currently, cartel money laundering activities exist in most states but are most prevalent in Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. Since 2010, said money laundering in these twenty states has exceeded more than $100 billion.
Money laundering through purchases of residential real estate is achieved with the use of phantom individuals (identities of people that do not actually exist) and illegal aliens as purchasers. Sometimes the real estate is purchased using all cash, other times a mortgage is involved. Illegal alien purchasers are commonly given safe passage into the United States by the cartels in exchange for signing the necessary purchase documents. With respect to fraudulent mortgages, these transactions involve mortgage companies that provide money for legitimate and falsified mortgages as well as mortgage companies fictitiously created to launder funds. Money is also laundered through other organizations and individuals involved in real estate transactions such as realtors earning inflated commissions, appraisers earning inflated fees, title companies charging excessive processing fees, and other similarly situated businesses. Nearly all of the illegitimate mortgages in Arizona originate from companies outside of Arizona. Thaler et al specifically implicate Wells Fargo and HSBC among others in all of this.
