De-Manufacturing Consent- “El Chapo & Bin Laden: PR, Propaganda & the Politics of Violence”

Guillermo Jimenez Presents Danny Benavides
On this edition of De-Manufacturing Consent Guillermo is joined by Danny Benavides, Contributing Editor of TracesofReality.com. We discuss the capture of Sinaloa Cartel leader and “Public Enemy No. 1,” Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, and go over Danny’s latest article, “Mexico’s Bin Laden: The Capture of Chapo Guzman Provides Illusory Victory in the Narcowar.”
How was the “world’s most powerful” drug kingpin taken alive without firing a single shot? What does this actually mean for the Cartel de Sinaloa, the reality on the ground in Mexico, or the war on drugs as a whole? Is El Chapo really “Mexico’s Bin Laden”?
