Considering that Escobar was on the CIA payroll, it's good that they had at least some mention in that series of who was really running the show.
The world drug trade has been in the hands of the globalists for generations, going back to the China opium trade centuries ago, which built many of the great Anglo-American fortunes, and financed the Ivy League and the great museums in the US and UK.

The cartels are meshed with their ruling elite, the drug trade being one of their main revenue streams. The elites get most of the proceeds, while the cartel heads get the media hype, and get chopped off and replaced by other figures every few years.
But that's not just specific to Mexico. The drug trade has been the lynchpin of the world's ruling classes, going back to the opium trade three centuries ago, which gave rise to many of the elites that still rule to this day. Bill Clinton's presidential campaign was financed by proceeds from the Mena, AR Colombian traffic. We weren't in Vietnam (Golden Triangle) just to fight communism, and aren't in Afghanistan (global leader in opium production) just to make sure their little muslim girls get to go to school...
I'm not really getting into a debate about all this because I've had it on other forums, but this "the elites secretly rule the criminal underworld" thing is way overblown.
The world's top criminals and "legitimate" powerful figures have always rubbed shoulders and done business when it was mutually beneficial, but it was never a subordinate relationship. The top criminals are very cagey and more red pill than the manosphere could ever hope to be, and they fiercely look to their own interests. They're not really interested in being pawns for the "deep state" or whatever you want to call it.
For instance the US mob and the CIA worked together to overthrow Castro and on many other things and even shared a lot of personnel. But the mobsters weren't ordered about by the CIA. In fact, while they took money from the CIA to kill Castro, they didn't really put that much effort into it. Their real interest was that that relationship was potential blackmail material which they could use down the road.
If the elites have had such control over the underworld, why did the Ndrangheta kidnap the grandson of John Paul Getty - the richest man of his time - with total impunity, forced him to pay a big ransom, and got away with it? Today the 'Ndrangheta is possibly the most succesful crime syndicate on the planet but at the time they were just a bunch of ragtag peasants. Why didn't the hammer drop on them for daring to touch one of the elites?
Come to think of it, John D. Rockefeller himself feared his children might get kidnapped. So did Henry Ford, and this fear caused him to cultivate friendships with Detroit's top mobsters at the time. Both Trump and his father paid shakedown money to the NY 5 families so their construction businesses wouldn't be stopped.
Or were these people not real elites? Are they fronts for the Rothchilds?
Leaders of international crime syndicates like Pablo Escobar, Toto Riina, Dawood Ibrahim, Sergei Mikhailov etc. are modern day versions of the warlords and kings of old. They rise to the top by sheer will-to-power, they live with the constant fear of death or life imprisonment. Their whole lives is a litany of violence, betrayal and scheming.
I'm not infatuated with them like some groupie, in fact I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire, but do you honestly think that if they take all that risk, when they make a billion dollars they send $900 million to some Ivy League twit like George Bush or Bill Clinton just because they are part of "elite" families?
