Blood on the Pitch: CJNG, Five Dead Cops, and the World Cup Gamble

from Narcology · host Circle Of Insight Productions

As the 2026 World Cup kicks off in Mexico City, five police officers are gunned down by suspected CJNG cartel gunmen in Michoacan, just 300 km away. We break down the cartel landscape, the death of “El Mencho,” the rise of “El Jardinero,” and what it really means for the safety of fans heading south of the border. This is the gap between the official narrative and the ground truth — and we’re going to walk through it.
