I've heard about auctions conducted by the US Marshalls and other government departments where property including houses and exotic cars are seized by drug cartels and others and sold to the highest bidder.

The Fed does a reasonably good job of managing their cartel so as not to piss off the masses.

How do you get them together by forming industrial cartels and keeping prices and wages up?"

What if the cartel moves into your property?

The lending industry often appears to be like a cartel.

When you hear the Cartel has switched from US $20 to Chinese yuan or Indian rupees; its too late. 

Etc.The sign you want to look for, is when the Drug Cartels switch from US $20/$100 to Euros/Yen/Rupees. 

If they ask why you don't buy a new car, tell them you are saving for something else and the current car you have still works fine.  

I've heard we have more guns here than in the rest of the world, per person and the most deaths.....now Mexico with the latest few years of cartel wars may be getting up there, guess it depends on what time frame they use.

Without mentioning the names of the cartel you'll need to disclose the material sources, LOL.How'd the soil test come out?
