6:45 am
the molds ileum julissa stone today. money like many people. do. you need to know my head and when you want. your home i want to know you have seen . the ask me what i might do you know yes a momentous on one side and yes and we. know you know that i am going to defy him. there is always something being built here at the garden is still in my cemetery like in a small city new blocks and be a constantly there is plenty of work for the laborers here even if they do complain about low wages video and think about becoming a drug lord yourself or being a golden drug doctor because business probably you can get much more money than just doing construction work here it's just building graves for those. words not
6:46 am
for the two humanity. how much. i don't know yet. even for i'm only at the gate. that's a money you know i've. planned yeah and the little i hope with all along the way i do you. know and what the. neighborhood this gold must be knows the pines. and this is what i was graced. and this is the house where i was born. yet we simply soaker against the kid from the old the street which is still number twelve this is. number thirteen and one of the kids that i used to play itself
6:47 am
against. was became a drug lord it's very high running. joke for two months i became a journalist among a filmmaker and he became a drug lord i mean how ironic if we only knew when you were a kid if you only knew what it's going to be your life then when he was in one of the most wanted men in the war. or a woman a. that's not an idea different. let me say that he's been doing the. pain you know the blue line it's you know because i have a family that could lead me in the right direction if you didn't have any pines he said father west deal when he was thirteen years old so he nor fun and you know there was snow on the left. and that's what happened.
6:48 am
so i. am the cartels are as well called how young do they start in it's real bad sometimes when thirteen fourteen years old they start off. which means the washington scene although when one single spot. washes in one emerge in mali the soldiers just pass by the day when all you know that there are the ladies going in that direction is so it does it's usually when they're stolen to smooth then they move a set of stiletto see. which is like a gunman and then they a star your new movie is rock so it's different steps in the charts of deals and. you know. we don't know how this boy died but he was only sixteen.
6:49 am
cardenas still to maya is known locally as the narco cemetery it's where a lot of very young men are buried and that's no surprise to anyone around here about five hundred people a year interred in this prestigious cemetery illegal for many drug trafficking was then lena q petion but nobody talks about that openly it's illegal after all if the deceased had a drug trafficking connection and curry does belled is one way to share his story regardless of criminal activity. many sons good men written about his there and a logically what made him a folk hero comparable to robin hood locals often turn to kansas mall there and then when they want to pray for anyone still life but involved in the drugs business the legend says he'll help anyone who believes no matter what they do for
6:50 am
6:51 am
the main celebration of kids isn't all there there is on the third of may some start to worship him early in the morning just after the night's prayers and festivities after that been for an hour or two ready to carry on. the streets around in his mulberry this temple including a pact with thousands and a celebratory procession to one of the saints begins. to back up that everyone had the right to be happy and whatever makes you feel that's fine with their they feel like. you see that's absolutely. right.
6:52 am
i'm. also makes many people feel good but that doesn't mean that everyone here is somehow connected narcotrafficking director because no despite a local culture traditionally there that gets the first it's an important local ritual murder one isn't legal in sin or yet but no one is jailed for possessing a small quantity especially in a public holiday police still on the favorite scenes they have little we want to hear is like the show to run. a small gesture of affinity with those who believe in bed with cards. this is near.
6:53 am
seattle. where it was that what you call. them. in the style of the crew that it is called this. morning. they were supposed to meet on the break you were covering. this is a little billet just dealt side kliptown going into the mountains and it's a very well controlled area. we work because you know the old
6:54 am
people live here. and. i'm just going to say hi to them in the little. store. it's a grocery store. so i'm just going to say hi just to see if we are just staying inside the car they're going out you know these people express suspicious still come up to us and ask questions. we've been asked not to reveal where we're going the next or even mention the village where this man leaves by local standards it's a large and affluent settlement the village has electricity and nearby school you can only get further into the mountains in this serious. and there is no legal reason. to be found anywhere. local say there are almost no legal jobs here so
6:55 am
growing marijuana is normal. from local pope is was first produced in the late nineteenth century it was legal then and supply the same market that it does now the. good. thing this is just to get rid of these people who have a car like one bike and motorcycle and many other things that regular farmers can they really afford. just he's looking for good because she's going to go through this phase here you don't want to see it all sleaze family like many others nearby because grown marijuana for more than a decade. produces literally thousands of illegal drugs each year.
6:56 am
live. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporations corporations from washington to washington. voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. here's what people have been saying about rejected a navy seal i would imagine it's full on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch to the delete yap is the john oliver of our trio mary is going to say we

turn. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each day. but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one. i speak to now as there were no other. to claim that mainstream media has met its make. there was a time when hollywood in the entertainment business used to do exactly that
6:59 am
entertain us today there is a very different partisan reality now they soon their mission is to educate us and demand political conformity with the country evenly split is this a losing proposition. is this. the most. but. it was. kind of a. sign of this you. know she refused. to. wear the blue he won't get a good area for immigrants it's this we never really know for sure but this has been a. nephew
7:00 am
