Good day all. Many businesses have been suffering from the lock down, and sadly, thanks to the panic, some will never reopen. However, there is also another group of \u201cBusinesses\u201d that are having severe issues. The drug cartels are having supply issues.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I knew that the cartels were having problems shipping \u201cProduct,\u201d with both the United States and the Mexican government locking down the border. (Us to keep out illegal aliens, and Mexico to keep out infected Gringos) However, it isn\u2019t just getting their drugs to America, the Cartels are also having problems getting the raw materials they need to make their drugs. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The onslaught of the coronavirus<\/a> has not only sent the global economy tumbling \u2014 it has also hit the black market where it hurts, and Mexican cartels<\/a> are no exception. <\/b><\/p>\n

And where might that be? Why right smack dab in the wallet.<\/p>\n

The outbreak of COVID-19 has sent the price of heroin, methamphetamines and fentanyl soaring, as the likes of the Sinaloa cartel \u2013 and its main rival, the Jalisco \u201cNew Generation\u201d \u2013 struggle to obtain the necessary chemicals to make the synthetic drugs, which typically come from China and are now in minimal supply. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe cartels have suffered from COVID-19 due to the inability to get the regular shipments of synthetic opioids and precursor chemicals for the massive production of meth from China,\u201d Derek Maltz, a former special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Operations Division in New York, told Fox News. <\/b><\/p>\n

The cartels have continued their production at a slower rate, but the demand seems to be increasing during these times of uncertainty in America. The shutdown of cities in China and travel in and out of China have also negatively impacted the flow of chemicals and drugs to Mexico.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

As to why the cartels are having supply issues, the reason is simple. China. Since the China Virus kicked off, China, the main supplier of materials to the cartels, have shut down their production and started making drugs to fight the Kung Flu.<\/p>\n

China<\/a>, where the virus originated late last year, has, for the most part, halted production on the chemicals required for the making of the drugs as it battles the virus within its own borders and battles to make medical supplies for other crumbling countries. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cDrug cartels and criminal support organizations in the industry global drug trafficking have been deeply affected by the pandemic of the COVID-19,\u201d Johan Obdola, president of the Canada-based Global Organization for Intelligence (IOSI), concurred. \u201cEspecially when it comes to the operations of the Sinaloa Cartel, which control 90 percent of the entrance of synthetic drugs to the United States.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n
