Who Really Runs Mexico? The Truth About Cartels! | Forgotten History

For over 30 years, Mexican drug cartels have assassinated politicians, infiltrated law enforcement, and taken over entire cities. From El Chapo’s Sinaloa empire to the rise of CJNG and allegations against Mexico’s first female president—this episode exposes the brutal truth about who really controls Mexico. How did we get here—and why won’t the U.S. step in? Mexico’s new president, Claudia Sheinbaum, rejected Donald Trump’s offer to send U.S. Special Forces to fight the cartels—but why? This episode investigates how powerful drug cartels like Sinaloa and CJNG infiltrated Mexico’s government, assassinated officials, and now control entire cities. From fentanyl to political corruption, we expose the dark truth behind Mexico’s collapse—and why Sheinbaum may be complicit. Written and hosted by Colin D. Heaton.
