Article title:

HOW THE U.S. TRIGGERED A MASSACRE IN MEXICO

Gist:

“ It began in the United States, when the Drug Enforcement Administration scored an unexpected coup. An agent persuaded a high-level Zetas operative to hand over the trackable cellphone identification numbers for two of the cartel’s most wanted kingpins, Miguel Ángel Treviño and his ​brother Omar.

Then the DEA took a gamble. It shared the intelligence with a Mexican federal police unit that has long had problems with leaks — even though its members had been trained and vetted by the DEA. Almost immediately, the Treviños learned they’d been betrayed. The brothers set out to exact vengeance against the presumed snitches, their families and anyone remotely connected to them.”

“ No family lost more members than the Garzas. Nearly 20 are believed dead, including 81-year-old Olivia Martínez de la Torre and her 7-month-old great-grandson, Mauricio Espinoza.”

"DEA did our job to target them and to try to focus and dedicate our resources to put them out of business. We were eventually successful in that regard.

Our hearts go out to those families. They’re victims, unfortunately, of the violence perpetrated by the Treviño brothers and the Zetas. But this is not a story where the DEA has blood on its hands."

the mental gymnastics these civil servants use to justify their "work" is crazy

so the DEA expected mexicans NOT to act like subhuman murderous savages, and the DEA's expectations were wrong? i guess there might be some 'fault' there, kind of, maybe.

This is almost certainly the real story. Our signals intelligence capabilities are truly unbelievable and the NSA absolutely monitors narco radio traffic.

Basic network analysis could probably find kingpins if you start with few known low level people. Let alone the crazy shit we can do monitoring every form of electronic communications.

In which case it was encrypted text messages using one time pads on top of OnionShare and Russian Gost ciphers. Everyone and their mother knows how to avoid the NSA today. US sigint effectively murdered itself with its god level reputation.

This is true and flame at the same time.

If you're careful, then for now you can still evade the surveillance capabilities of a state level actor. But the target only has to fuck up one time and inadvertently communicate in a non-secure way, then the whole thing unravels. What's more, the fuck up can also come from some other person messaging them. Narco careers can last decades, and nobody can be perfect every time. Just like sometimes lawfags make a stupid mistake and send a .doc when they meant to send a .pdf or whatever the fuck, a mistake will also inevitably occur in the proximity of the kingpins. It's just a matter of the $ and manpower to actually give things a close look.

Even if you ignore the fact that unlike Al Queda/Osama Bin Laden, the kingpins are running a geographically distributed supply chain with billions in revenue, there's still tons of ways to identify these people:

- Datamining cell tower connections and usage patterns: "Wow, this subset of phones that frequently connect to towers in the HQ area light up when we raid a major shipment!"

- Looking at the IMEIs connecting and scrutinizing make/model/voice or data usage: "Wow, a ton of people in this town use blackberries, i haven't seen one used by a normal person in 10 years!"

- Blackberry is suspected to collaborate with friendly governments, even if the cartels are setting up their own enterprise servers.

LJL at anyone talking to US intelligence about anything. Yankee agent runners are the most incompetent fucks on the planet. Literal Taliban goat herders ran school on them for 20 years so no shit that the cartels would too. Its because Yankees actually believe in people and institutions — two things which require a room temperature IQ.
