  • Chasing Ghosts is back!

    There has been chatter and enthusiasm to use military means to take on the drugs and human trafficking organizations and cartels in Mexico (and I imagine the cartels in the north in Canada), this will not end well.

    I examine the implications and the second and third order effects of this endeavor which is, by extension, a declaration of war on the Mexican government.
