      Go to Peru and meet the cartels. They have advanced technology they use to steal gold and set up illegal dredging operations. And they’ve dressed like lizards in bright green and gold armor. And the jetpacks just glow red and fit underneath the feet. It’s all very efficient and nothing to do with aliens.

        In Peru, cartels are just DMT entities…

        Edited to make the link look nicer

      I mean they have their own drug-runner submarines. You underestimate how big and professional cartels are.
