Homeland Security Vision of Success – Public Affairs
Promotional events crafted and controlled by public affairs professionals, staged with major drug hauls, patrol boats, helicopters, etc.
The big campaign features top level team leaders thanking each other.
Well done.
Announcing the number of DOD ground units, US Navy and US Coast Guard vessels sent towards the US/Mexico border demonstrates a sense of commitment.

In The News – New Drug War
High levels of confidence in this businesslike event. Unfortunately, questions from the press were not picked up in the audio below.

The claim:
At 5:00 in the video above, the FBI director clams that various federal agencies will “…get all the drugs off the streets…”
“Almost 45,00 pounds of pure, uncut cocaine were seized and 3,800 pounds of marijuana, Bondi said.”
Old Drug War
Has General Milley’s Operation Macho Swagger reduced access to cartel product anywhere in the US?
When is the last time DOD/DHS was able to create any shortage of cartel product in the Puget Sound area?
Has there been enough time for newspeople to ask questions?
Newspeople remain silent.
April 1, 2020 C-SPAN
WWII costume reminds us of a time before decades of undeclared/unwon wars stacked up.
The Department of Defense track record goes back to 1949.
Old War On Terror
In the old War on Terror, cartels were not designated as terrorist organizations.
Did the advantage of designating terrorist organizations in Iraq and Afghanistan allow those undeclared wars to be prevented, won or shut down?
Seattle
When Homeland Security leaders show up here to report on drug addicts having difficulty finding their cartel product of choice- we will see success.
We will see success when Homeland Security leaders:
Speak to first responders and find out if there is less need for Narcan, buprenorphine, Naloxone, fentanyl test strips, or any similar product used in overdose response situations.
Speak with transit bus drivers to find out if less people who are under the influence of cartel drugs are present around bus stops and attempting to ride on transit busses.
Visit emergency rooms to find out if drug overdose numbers have gone down. Find out and report to the public what sort of drugs people are overdosing on.
Visit the office of the medical examiner to find out where things are at with drug overdose numbers. Find out and report to the public what sort of drugs people are overdosing on.
Port Angeles
We will see success when Homeland Security leaders admit that massing US Border Patrol agents at the southern edge of the Strait of Juan de Fuca more than a decade ago never did create any shortage of cartel product anywhere in the Puget Sound area.
We will see success when newspeople ask:
Were Clallam County drug overdose death numbers higher before the US Dept. of Homeland Security was established (2002) or are the numbers higher with a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security in place? This giant federal agency now has more than two decades of experience and lessons learned in working to prevent cartel product from entering the US. More overdose deaths now, or before DHS?
After a Port Angeles CBP buildup that took place more than a decade ago, is there any follow up made by the press to inform the public on whatever results have been achieved?
Port Angeles Homeland Security Spending Spree
Port Angeles – 2024
With a significant Homeland Security/CBP/Border Patrol presence at Port Angeles:
“Clallam County has one of the highest per capita rates of drug overdoses in the state…”
Cartel Vision of Success – The Seattle Scene
In the news:
Fentanyl fuels a persistent ‘hot spot’ at Seattle’s 12th and Jackson. What will it take to fix it?
Will James – KUOW
April 14, 2025
“The crowd around 12th and Jackson is ever present, although the hundred or so people here change day by day. They come here to buy and smoke fentanyl or sell stolen groceries or clothing on the sidewalk to raise the money it takes for a hit.”
Remember,
No matter what elected officials have decided to do Re: enabling drug use in WA, a $51.6 billion (every 12 months) US Dept. of Homeland Security has been on the job in recent years.
Any cartel product arriving on the streets of Whidbey Island, Seattle or Port Angeles made its way past the jurisdiction of federal agents at borders, border crossings and ports of entry prior to arriving in the Puget Sound area.
Are newspeople forbidden to ask questions related to Homeland Security funding and performance in the Puget Sound area?
