Congrats ioan you have done great work covering Mexico's tragedy since the dawn of the millennium in 2000. If trump wins its interesting to see his aggressive strategy on the cartels or is it all talk for votes. But I am proud to be an American regardless of who wins and losses.
Congratulations Ioan! Your substack is one of my favorites. Thanks for covering Mexico, your contribution is of great value. Hope you get thousands more subscribers. Please, take care, we need you.
Considering the quality of content showing the intersection of drug money, cartels, politics of corruption, ravages of history and bankrupt cultures, your substack should have 50,000 to 100,000 followers! Drug money is the rotten foundation eating into every fabric of a country. As a reader, you cannot specialize in your reading. Economics, politics, self improvement and history cannot be studied separately when you have the cancer of drugs infecting the body politic. That cancer and all of it's ramifications are only discussed and pointed out in CrashOut which will become even more important after the US Election. Whoever wins, the cancer of drugs will be expanding. Solutions from both sides will only create more corruption and more tragedy for Mexico. Keep your head down and safe and it is going to get real nasty and extreme very soon.
Thanks there Tom - 10 K was the first objective but now it goes up. Yep, these issues continue to reverberate and agreed, things could get nastier. But at least I get to write and it's a privilege to have you and others here for this ride.
Congratulations on 10k milestone, 90k to go! Love Dr Drift's CO Theme song. Perfect. Thank you for acknowledging your readers with a heartfelt thank-you video. Real independent journalism rocks. The questions from readers were fascinating and your multimedia answers were amazing. The story CO, tells, is truly multinational. You're on the ground reporting, giving voice, to the people most affected, the cartel's highest leaders, to the boots on the ground and their families, making it real for all of your readers. Thank you for sharing your authentic self, writing, with hope courage honesty and evidence. We are in this together
Super well appreciated brother. Yeah, 10K was my inititial objective and now I have to make it the ton - and really have some impact there. Yeah, independent journalism can be a whole new game, and, like all journalism, can be beautiful if it's done right. Great to have you here for the ride and stay in touch.

Any idea who’s winning btwn the mayos and the chapitos?
It's very hard to call - but I think the Mayos began on the offensive and the Chapitos are defending hard and quite successfully
Thx. Are the Chapitos really hooking up with the CJNG?
Thanks for what you do, Ioan. Keep it up - but please continue to be careful. Things are not getting calmer down there. Your voice is needed.
Super well appreciated friend - and thanks for the q!
Congratulations!!! So well deserved (and still much way to go)
Well appreciated Carlos - and great to have you here on the ride.
Also did you ever watch the cranberries zombie music video?
Very soon. I will send you the reaction...
