What is the Chinese drug cartel takeover of Maine and how did it begin?
We recently had a remarkable conversation with a man called Steve Robinson, one of the last independent journalists in the state of Maine, and he told us a story that stunned us. It's about the Chinese takeover, the takeover by Chinese drug cartels of the largest state in the Northeast. It's a story about what happens when immigration laws are ignored, when state and local governments fail to do their duty. We have a documentary out about this right now. It's on TCN. The documentary is called High Crimes, The Chinese Mafia's Takeover of Rural America. It's shocking. Watch it now, it's available only at Tucker Carlson dot com.
Thank you for doing this. Uh, you're the best journalist in Maine. You're one of about six journalists in Maine. So I mean I don't know. It's a but if it weren't for you, I don't think um anybody would have any idea what was happening in the state of Maine. Uh so let's go to the story that has kind of defined your coverage over the last couple of years and that is the I don't think it's too strong to say the takeover of Roal Maine by Chinese drug cartels. D I'll stand back and let you describe the scale of this and what it is.
Well, I mean, it's shocking. I would say uh There's probably 300 to 400 properties throughout the state of Maine that are under the control of what the Department of Homeland Security under President Biden called Asian Transnational Criminal Organizations. Chinese mafia, I think is a better term and an easier way to understand it. This first came to light in uh the end of 2023 when a reporter from the Daily Caller News Foundation, Jenny Ter, who's a fantastic reporter. Order, uh, got a leaked memo that said, Hey, there's 270 plus of these sites in Maine, and there's another 800 in other parts of the country, and that caught my eye. Uh, I grew up in Maine, spent my whole life in Maine, and I figured if that there were if there were 270 sites in Maine where this criminal activity was occurring, I I would be able to find it.
Uh, and so I contacted Jenny and I worked with her and eventually got more information. About some of these sites that she knew about, identified the property owners, and uh we visited some of the sites, started identifying some of the patterns. And I basically looked at every mortgage record for the past six or seven years in every county in the state of Maine and uh all the electrical records for electrical upgrades for commercial grade uh power, which is required for these. Marijuana grows, some other financial records and mortgage documents, and was able to identify well over 300 uh Chinese marijuana grows unlicensed operating in the state of Maine, just from looking at records and piecing the puzzle together, and then decided I need to go visit them to see what the story is and to confirm it.
Uh, and so I drove, I mean, easily 10,000 or more miles around the state of Maine to Very, very distant remote places, schools, factories, former shoe factories, former scrap metal yards. Um you know uh there's uh The
detrius of the industrial economy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh you know, there's one of these next to my high school basketball coach's house. One of these next to um You know, the the guy who ended up marrying my high school girlfriend. He's got a Chinese marijuana grow next to him. There's a Chinese marijuana grow next to the first place that I got drunk with my high school friends. There's a Chinese marijuana grow on my camp road that has since been busted. There's a Chinese marijuana grow on my dad's uh road in St. Albans. They're everywhere. They're in former schools, former nursing homes. Um, and we were able to find them. They were e it was easy to find. And It turned out that uh one of the first things I would do when I showed up and scoped something out, I mean, you can smell it.
You can see the upgraded electrical work. Uh, you can see the license plate out front from New York City. And you go and you talk with the neighbors and the neighbors You know, you just knock on the door and say, Hey, I'd I'd like to talk to you about your neighbors and they kinda get this look in their eye like, Finally.
