Watch the full episode with Ed Calderon here: https://youtu.be/2oaF-Y6xe4k Social media has always been a recruiting and propaganda tool for the Mexican cartels and other insurgent groups. But is TikTok intentionally manipulating their algorithm to amplify the cartels? China is already using TikTok to spy and collect facial recognition data on Americans. It’s not a stretch to suspect China could be using the app to drive a pro-cartel narrative. It would further destabilize Mexico and, by extension, destabilize their biggest adversary: the United States. My guest here is Ed Calderon and we had a fascinating 2 hour conversation about the Mexican cartels. Ed ran counter-operations against the cartels for years and has a ton of insights into how the cartels run operations, their secret occult practices, how they’re infiltrating the U.S., and much more. This clip just scratches the surface of what we dived into. Check it out on Hold These Truths podcast.

Ed Calderon spent nearly two decades running counter-operations against cartels inside Mexico. He joined Rep. Crenshaw for a wide-ranging conversation about the Sinaloa and Jalisco New Generation Cartels. They talk about how both cartels rose to power, their battle tactics against Mexican police and paramilitary forces, using TikTok to recruit soldiers and traffic victims, their secret occult practices, how they’re infiltrating the United States, what average Mexican citizens think of the cartels, and what the future holds as the ultra-violent Jalisco New Generation makes further gains in territory across Mexico and the United States. Ed Calderon started his career as a police officer in Tijuana and worked in the fields of counter-narcotics, organized crime investigation, and public safety in the northern border region of Mexico. Today he is a security consultant who has worked with the FBI, Navy SEALs, and special forces groups from around the world.
