Download or read book Cocaine the Gulf Connection written by K. S. McDonald and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-17 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cocaine, the Gulf Connection is not about cocaine gangs and shoot outs in Mexican border towns, but rather it details the complex workings of a sophisticated smuggling operation that has gone unknown to the Mexican and U.S. governments for thirteen years. The success of the smuggling operation comes from a high degree of compartmentalization, which allows no chance for any one piece of the Company to betray another. Yes, the smugglers think of themselves as a Company. Retired FBI agent Nicholas Able is hired to consult in locating the source of Cocaine for what the FBI thanks is a large Houston Texas drug distribution network. The trail starts at a local bar off Galveston Bay and grows to a network that covers all of the Texas Gulf Coast and into Tampico Mexico. Mr. McDonald has produced a plot that is intricate and nonstop. The logic and detailed detective work descriptions are fascinating and an interagency battle for control of the case between the DEA and FBI adds to the drama. The book is not a Who done it, thats known from the outset. Cocaine, The Gulf Connection is about finding the bad guys and then bringing them down.

Download or read book Blood Death written by John Lee Brook and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White Sister... The Bony Lady... The Godmother... The Pretty Girl... This is Santa Muerte, personification of death. A veiled skeleton with an unquenchable thirst for destruction, Santa Muerte is Mexico’s grim and vengeful goddess. She is worshipped by outcasts and sinners, those for whom the traditional Christian deities of Jesus and the Virgin Mary have no place. For the notorious drug cartels, Santa Muerte is venerated as the saint who does not judge. She provides divine protection against authority and from rival gangs, demanding human sacrifice in return. The cult of Santa Muerte has become inextricably linked to the Mexican cartels over the past decade, resulting in barbaric rituals that have escalated the tide of violence across the streets. Bodies of cartel members are executed en masse at Santa Muerte shrines, and rumors abound of even worse atrocities in the name of magical protection. This book is the story of unholy alliance, of drug gangs and Santa Muerte, and a galvanic passion for blood and death.

Download or read book Sovereignty and Extortion written by Claudio Lomnitz and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-05 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifteen years in Mexico, more than 450,000 people have been murdered and 110,000 more have been disappeared. In Sovereignty and Extortion, Claudio Lomnitz examines the Mexican state in relation to this extreme violence, uncovering a reality that challenges the familiar narratives of “a war on drugs” or a “failed state.” Tracing how neoliberal reforms, free trade agreements, and a burgeoning drug economy have shaped Mexico’s sociopolitical landscape, Lomnitz shows that the current crisis does not represent a tear in the social fabric. Rather, it reveals a fundamental shift in the relationship between the state and the economy in which traditional systems of policing, governance, and the rule of law have eroded. Lomnitz finds that power is now concentrated in the presidency and enforced through militarization, which has left the state estranged from itself and incapable of administering justice or regaining control over violence. Through this critical examination, Lomnitz offers a new theory of the state, its forms of sovereignty, and its shifting relation to capital and militarization.

Download or read book Beyond Katrina written by Natasha Trethewey and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Katrina is poet Natasha Trethewey’s very personal profile of her natal Mississippi Gulf Coast and of the people there whose lives were forever changed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Trethewey’s attempt to understand and document the damage to Gulfport started as a series of lectures at the University of Virginia that were subsequently published as essays in the Virginia Quarterly Review. For Beyond Katrina, Trethewey expanded this work into a narrative that incorporates personal letters, poems, and photographs, offering a moving meditation on the love she holds for her childhood home. In this new edition, Trethewey looks back on the ten years that have passed since Katrina in a new epilogue, outlining progress that has been made and the challenges that still exist.

Download or read book Organized Environmental Crime written by Daan van Uhm and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-08-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing an innovative approach to understanding how organized crime groups diversify into the illegal trade in natural resources, this book looks at the convergence between environmental crime and other serious crimes. In Organized Environmental Crime, Daan van Uhm breaks new ground by rejecting the classic image of organized crime as specializing in one kind of criminal activity. Instead, he develops an innovative approach to understanding how organized crime groups diversify into the illegal trade in natural resources by looking at the convergence between environmental crime and other serious crimes. Personal stories from informants directly involved in organized crime networks offer unique insights into the black markets in gold, wildlife, and timber in three environmental crime hotspots: the Darién Gap, a remote swath of jungle on the Colombia-Panama border in Latin America; the Golden Triangle, a notorious opium epicenter in Southeast Asia; and the eastern edge of the Congo basin, an important conflict area in Central Africa. The proliferation of organized environmental crime exacerbates the global destruction of ancient rainforests; the mass extinction of species; and the pollution of the atmosphere, land, and water, negatively affecting planet Earth. By uncovering its incentives, features, and harms, this book is crucial to understanding organized environmental crime in a rapidly changing world.
