Google takes aim at Mexico's drug cartels
Associated Press
7/18/2012 12:48 p.m.
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. -- Google, so far, has won the search engine wars. Now it wants to target international crime, including Mexico's powerful drug cartels.

Eric Schmidt, Google Inc.'s executive chairman, has taken a keen interest in Mexico, where more than than 47,500 people have been killed in drug-related violence since President Felipe Caldern launched an offensive against the cartels in 2006. Schmidt recently visited most of Mexico's most violent cities, Ciudad Juarez, where civic leaders asked if he could help.

"Defeated, helpless, these people have been so hardened in their experience with cartels that they have lost battles and they have lost hope," Schmidt told a conference on international crime this week. "They were looking for a universal hammer to protect them. For me the answer was obvious. It was technology," d.

Experts told the conference that Mexico's cartels often use more sophisticated technology than law enforcement. Cartel assets include mapping software that tracks the location of police from high-tech control rooms; remote control submarines; and military grade rocket launchers.

Drug-dealing organizations can intercept satellite feeds, including images broadcast by intelligence agency drones. They run money laundering networks that handle an estimated $25 billion a year in drug profits.

What's not mentioned here is that there will inevitably be many, many people caught up in this "war," and will die, whose only "crime" is engaging in an economic activity between two consenting adults. Kleptocratic Police State FTMFW!!!

I just watched a documentary about how marijuana became illegal in the USA and how drug laws have evolved over time here. Pretty interesting. To say that we handle "illegal drugs" like idiots is a gross understatement.

$25 billion a year, that's a luagh. Try adding at least one zero to that number.

Maybe the whole point of our "war on drugs" is to make life in Mexico so horrible that Mexicans will stream into the US illegally to increase our population so as to support the various ponzi schemes.

I knew that one reason for not fighting illegal immigration from Mexico might be for ponzi schemes, but it hadn't occurred to me that maybe the war on drugs was designed to increase the desire of Mexicans to get the hell out of Mexico.
