The Mexican cartels are sending Canadians to compete against the Chinese in Manilla? I bet the Chinese are training Bulgarian assassins in Suriname right now.

Soon they'll dominate all the entire us and other countries unless we just legalized drugs so our home countries could make massove amounts of legal tender.
That'd just be stupid tho

Dane Marriott and Matthew Smith jailed for part in $30m drug 'factory' at abandoned Gold Coast resort
TWO men who helped cook drugs at a "factory" hidden within an abandoned resort on the Gold Coast hinterland have been jailed for their part in the $30 million conspiracy.
Dane James Marriott, 39, and Matthew John Smith, 31, were part of a large and sophisticated drug ring unearthed by police during Operation Hotel Enzyme in June, 2011.
Six months of surveillance by Queensland detectives and the Australian Crime Commission culminated in the arrest of five people and raids on eight properties where more than $300,000 worth of manufacturing equipment was seized and 70kg of methylamphetamine, worth $30 million on the street, was uncovered.
Brisbane Supreme Court Justice Glenn Martin jailed Marriott for three-years for his role in the production of meth and ecstasy tablets at an abandoned resort on Tomewin Mountain Rd at Currumbin Valley.
Smith was sentenced to two-years behind bars after turning up to fill-in for another person on the day police raided the resort on June 6, 2011.
He was "terrified'' by a stun grenade, hit with a Taser and handcuffed on the driveway during the sting.
Both men were found at the resort with gloves and holding a bag of saccharine, used in the cooking process.
Crown prosecutor Maita Aylward said police found drums of chemicals and equipment hidden in bungalows on the property, which appeared to be set up like a resort but "there were no tourists''.
She said there was enough to produce 3kg of meth or 50,000 tablets of MDMA.
Ms Aylward said Marriot was seen at the property a handful of times and claimed he once gave instructions over the phone to another person by saying "just do 50L and we should put a stirrer in there''.
She said the operation was run by another when Marriott and Smith came in to "assist in the actual cooking process''.
Ms Aylward said both men were jailed for six months for contempt when they refused to cooperate during a coercive CMC star chamber hearing.
Barrister Jeff Hunter QC said his clients were "essentially labourers'' whose involvement in the drug ring was less serious than their co-offenders.
The group's ringleader Aaron Anderson, 30, was jailed for 6.5 years, co-accused Darren Cutting, 32, for 4.5 years and Andreas Schmidt, 47, sentenced in the Supreme Court last year.
Mr Hunter said Marriott was an amphetamine user at the time he agreed to take part but was otherwise a man of good character.
He said he had a good employment history, owned his own businesses and more recently worked as a labourer.
Mr Hunter said Smith had a 13-year-old daughter and he hoped to return to mine work in the Bowen Basin on his release.
He said Smith cooperated with police by confessing he had a .45 calibre gun in his possession.
Justice Martin ordered Smith be released on parole on August 30 while Marriott should be released on October 30.
He called the drug operation large and highly-sophisticated, almost a "factory''.
But he accepted the men's involvement had been less serious than their co-accused and there was "no evidence of payment'' made to them for their participation.

Firefighters uncover $100K in drugs after mobile home fire
By Dave Faherty
ALEXANDER COUNTY, N.C. — After going through a charred out mobile home in Alexander County, firefighters uncovered more than $100,000 worth of drugs.
Investigators think the men who were living inside may be connected to a Mexican drug cartel.
"We come in here and found the poker table and the money-counting machine,” said Vashti Fire Chief Steven Carson.
Carson showed us what's left of the home north of Taylorsville. Not only did they find cash but also a large amount of drugs in this bedroom. Sheriff’s deputies said they recovered 26 pounds of pot, cocaine and meth from the mobile home.
Deputies believe the home was a stash house for drugs originating in Mexico. Investigators said the fire started near the fireplace and then burned out of control.
They believe the flames were so intense the renters had to take off without time to take the drugs.
"They were trying to stay warm with the fireplace and in reality it brought down the heat on them,” said Deputy Chief Tod Jones with Alexander County Sheriff’s Office.
The mobile home is in a rural part of the county. There are few neighbors nearby and a Channel 9 reporter said he hasn’t seen too many people today driving down the road.
Even the home's owner was fooled by the men renting from him. Homeowner Jerry Wike said the men said they worked somewhere near Winston.
Deputies believe the men have left the area, possibly en route to Mexico. The drugs are valued in excess of $100,000. Much of the home was destroyed by the fire but it was what was found inside that the fire chief will remember.
"It is a very quiet, close-knit community. Just a real shock to find that much out here,” Carson said.

Bradford man charged after 198kg of heroin found in Jaguar car
December 13 2013
A Bradford man has been charged after parcels of heroin with a street value of £40 million were found hidden in a Jaguar car by the National Crime Agency.
The drugs were found stashed in every conceivable hiding place within the silver vehicle, including under the handbrake and gearbox, when the vehicle was impounded in Essex.
NCA officers also found the tightly-wrapped parcels of heroin under wheel arches, in the glovebox, under the pedals and behind the car’s central console.
It was also packed into the underside of the parcel shelf and secured with thick black tape. Officers also found other parcels of the drug in the bumpers, the spare wheel compartment, engine, dashboard and rear seating.
More than 130 parcels weighing a total of 436.5lb (198kg) – were found. The haul was broken down into about 20 evidence bags by NCA officers.
The car had been delivered to a business in the Romford area of Essex last Friday evening. During the early hours of Saturday two men were arrested in Luton, said an NCA spokesman Noman Qureshi, 32, of Brackenhill Mews, Great Horton, Bradford, has appeared before magistrates in Luton, charged with conspiracy to supply heroin.
He was remanded in custody and will next appear at the same court on Christmas Eve. Alongside him in the dock was Israr Khan, 34, of St Ethelbert Avenue, Luton.
He was also remanded in custody and will again appear at Luton Magistrates on Christmas Eve.
The investigation is ongoing, the NCA spokesman said last night.

Jury acquits Bear man in drug trial
WILMINGTON — A New Castle County Superior Court jury has acquitted a Bear man arrested last year in one of the largest heroin smuggling busts in recent memory.
Daniel Diaz was found not guilty of drug dealing, aggravated drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The 33-year-old was stopped and arrested while driving a silver 2002 Ford Taurus on April 8, 2013, on southbound I-95 at Del. 141. Diaz had been under surveillance for some time, according to court papers, and police made several controlled buys from Diaz and obtained a warrant to track his movements with a GPS, documenting suspected drug runs to Philadelphia. It was after one of those suspected drug runs when officers moved in.
Because he was on probation, Diaz was not allowed to leave the state without permission, giving officers cause to pull him over.
A police K-9 search of the vehicle on April 8 indicated the presence of drugs, the vehicle was towed, and during a more detailed search, officers discovered several mysterious wires. Eventually, police found the wires triggered two hydraulic motors that caused the backseat to lean forward 10 inches, revealing a hidden compartment.
Inside that compartment, police said they recovered 10,000 tiny packages of heroin bundled for sale, worth an estimated $50,000 to $100,000 on the street.
But following several pre-trial rulings, prosecutors were not allowed to bring up details about the alleged controlled drug buys involving Diaz, the suspected drug runs to Philadelphia or the fact that Diaz was on probation.
“All the state had was that he was driving a car with a lot of drugs [hidden inside],” said Diaz’s attorney Michael W. Modica on Monday. “What they didn’t have was any evidence connecting him to the drugs.”
Modica said that Diaz did not have any drugs on him or any drugs at his house, and police did not find fingerprints or DNA belonging to Diaz on the inside of the secret compartment or on any of the packaged heroin discovered inside the car.
The car also was not registered to Diaz and investigators were not able to locate the person the car was registered to.
“The law is that an occupant of a car is not presumed to know what was in the car,” Modica said. The jury that acquitted Diaz on Jan. 29 “followed the law and we were thankful for that,” he said.
Deputy Attorney General Caterina Gatto said the state was “limited in what we could talk about in trial.”
Despite those limitations, Gatto said prosecutors felt it was still in the best interests of justice to go forward to a trial.
“It is not uncommon, especially in a drug case, that the jury is not presented with all the facts,” she said. “We presented everything we could and the jury didn’t find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Obviously we are disappointed about that.”
But Gatto said 10,000 bags of heroin were kept off the streets in Delaware because of the arrest and Diaz was held at least partially responsible for what the state alleged.
Despite being acquitted at trial, Diaz was found guilty of a probation violation – which has different rules of evidence and a lower standard of proof than a trial – and was sentenced to six years in prison, a sentence he is now serving.

A 10-year-old boy was found at a Blue Mountains raid of cannabis, cocaine and speed
A 10-year-old boy has been found living at a Blue Mountains property where a raid uncovered 310 cannabis plants and other illegal drugs, police say.
Eleven people were arrested in the early morning raids on five homes in Katoomba and Leura on Wednesday.
It follows a six-month investigation by Strike Force Elrond into the supply of illegal drugs in the area.
Police said on Thursday they found and seized 310 cannabis plants and four kilograms of cannabis with an estimated street value of more than $470,000.
Heroin, cocaine and amphetamines were also seized from the same property.
"The concerning part about that premises is that we found a 10-year-old who was staying there," Assistant Commissioner Denis Clifford told reporters.
Police said they were working with the Department of Community Services to find suitable living arrangements for the child.
Asst Comm Clifford said the raids were the result of a tip-off from a member of the community about suspicious activity.
"We encourage anyone who has any suspicions about activity in their area to pass it on to us." Nine men aged between 24 and 54 and two women aged 25 and 51 have been charged with more than 70 offences.
They include cultivating a commercial quantity of a prohibited plant; supplying a large commercial quantity of amphetamine; supplying amphetamine, cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis on an ongoing basis; possessing a prohibited drug; and dealing with property suspected to be the proceeds of crime.

Doesn't 200kg seem like a more "round" number to transport? I really don't know how this shit works, but 198kg? 436.515lb? Doesn't really seem to add up. I'm sure he didn't shoot 2kg while driving LOL. Also, 441 lb = 200kg. Just saying, is all.
He still got 6 years for a violation of probation (by exiting the state). That sounds harsh but I don't know if that's common or not for a probation violation.

Yeah, but 6 yrs is better than 15 or whatever bullshit they would have given him for all the other shit and 10,000 bags of heroin etc.
