“The government has numbed us, we are manupulated, and I say Mr. El Chapo lets go traffic with unknown well-being, lets do good to the world, you know how to trade, deal with love, with good things. Life is a business and the only thing that changes is the merchandise. Don’t you agree? Mr Chapo, wouldn’t it be cool that you started trafficking with love? Today I believe more in Chapo Guzmán [than in] the government that hides painful truths from me, who hide the cure for cancer, AIDS, etc., for their own benefit and wealth,” she wrote on her Twextra page
