Fed court says letting El Chapo speak is too dangerous right now.

Sinaloa

El Chapo was denied the request to speak in fed court 2 days ago after prosecutors and a US judge agreed on the possibility of El Chapo trying to send Narco Don type “messages to his family,” or something shady. This is CYA for senior management of the Security State. If El Chapo escapes from custody a third time – that would look pretty bad. So El Chapo is being kept inside a one man super max security bubble with restrictions worse than the ones placed on Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs. He isn’t even allowed to be in the same room with his lawyers, although the court did allow him to smile at his 28 year old beauty queen wife and their two twin daughters during the pre-trial. He’s lucky the Boys didn’t make him wear a Hannibal Mask in the courtroom.

Americans do love smiley faces.

Most Americans know the name El Chapo through news reports or maybe from the Forbes Worlds Top Billionaires List of 2009, but I don’t think too many people understand who this man really is. During the days of The Daily Attack News I followed as many fourth generation models of warfare possible and spent enough time covering the narco wars to give my $0.02.

First off, El Chapo never liked violence. Especially unnecessary violence. He thought it was bad PR, bad for business, bad for the country, and really bad for the drug trade generally. He wanted the Sinaloas to maintain the traditonal Amado Carrillo model of the Gentleman, where men are capable of making sound decisions at the right times, working with the right people, and taking care of the right officials to keep the supply lines running without Mexicans drilling other Mexicans over dollar signs.

Mexico was dealing with an obvious violence problem long before the narco wars, and since the police in Mexico are so fucked off, the Sinaloas lived by the principle of “taking out your own trash” (same principle upheld by whites and Mexicans in the US prison system, while blacks keep the rats and pedophiles in their populations to have the numbers). Most of the pre-narco war violence employed by the Sinaloa Cartel was mainly focused on keeping their backyard clean from loose cannons, jackers, kidnappers, car thieves, pedophiles, dirty dope fiends and other random fire starters who would prey on civilians in Sinaloa. This was something El Chapo picked up from the old Don Arturo of the Beltran Levya Cartel. It’s more of a tradition specific to Sinaloa-born narcos for the most part.
