It has been a long-held belief in Mexico that the US and Mexican govts. play favorites with the Sinaloa Cartel. Not really surprising given the fact that Los Zetas are completely insane and much more violent.

They've really got themselves to blame as the Sinaloans prefer to solve their problems through bribes/influence while the Z just kills you and everyone you know/work with and then replaces the power vacuum created with their own people.

That shit is completely insane.  I remember reading (maybe you posted the link) about the Zetas recruiting banners that hang on highway over passes just like legit companies because no one dares take them down or something.

Narco banners are put up all the time. Sometimes just banners but they usually have corpses with in tow, too, depending on the location and place.

If it's a banner directed at another cartel = usually bodies (either shot, stabbed, dismembered, hanged, etc) go along with it.

If it's a banner directed at the citizens of the area it was placed in or the government = usually just the banner.

True, and wasn't this already quasi-confirmed, a while ago?

The Sinoloa Cartel is the "better" cartel when compared to the Zetas so our govt. acts on their behalf.

Call me crazy, but I don't think it's working, especially when our govt. refused to follow the rule of law and secure the border.
