The Vampires

Dark Future is in some places quite real. In Mexico Kartells rule and turned life into a dysantrop nightmare for most humans, based on money acquired from high societies and wannabes greed on getting high on powder, the modern white gold.

All groups in the business as merchants and most likely the transporters, too are organisations based on conflict societies. They interact like rats and it makes a lot of sense that some of these groups consider "dog" a bad word, knowing that wild dogs eat rats even so I am sure those abusing humans best friend that helped us to become humans are not really understanding what they are saying there.

In Shadowrun I would turn them into Vampire non-player characters, because they are literally sucking the blood of our society as soon they got a grip. 

In the Movie Blade the Vampire society has an elite force of Vampire soldiers that at one point hooks up with Blade the Daywalker and knight like figure of the series. 

In real live conspiracy theories of a dark society a conspiracy to rule us all are again very popular and most likely they have some real core. True is that during cold war secret service activity exploded and all of them on all sides got their hands quite dirty, managed to get into pretty illegal activity and most needs quite some digging to be put off the conspiracy? onto the seriously? list.

It does make sense to wonder if the Mexican Kartells are controlled by a more hidden force. In Brazil the quarters of the poor are now being taking over by Militias and off the hands of gangs. This might be an improvement from really bad to still bad. Gangs tend to be a lot less organised and recruit junkies with a very short live span, while Militias are per definition structured and organised making them more predictable. Being poor and also under threat a tiny bit of change like more predictability is an improvement. In Mexico there are only Kartells facing as an enemy only underpaid state forces and while the CIA put pressure against the Columbian Cartells with even forces on the ground the Mexican Kartells are spinning out of control. 

Are they really? And this is where the conspiracy theories start, because of a lack of adequate information available. There are reports about the Militias taking over Brazil and understanding who creates those it makes sense that they don't see any difference to drug gangs. It is journalists that back home in posh hip Berlin or London occasionally have a snore on the Toilette with gear that they got from someone understanding even less what Gang live really is, but that is for sure way of any Militia. 

No way that these fellas from universities, considering a line here or there take any responsibility for a hundred dead Mexicans and Brazil Militias finding happy taxpayers for predictability and quietness in return, will manage to get into those parts of the Mexican Kartell structures that are connected with Secret Service or Secret Societies. The "Secret" part is there for a reason.

At least one of the Kartells in Mexico was founded by an ex-elite unit soldier and pictures of Kartell soldiers equipped with .50 Cal sniper rifles are easily found. 

There is an uncomfortable and sadly not that unlikely chance that a less known Kartell has a superior force like the Vampire Elite Soldiers in the Blade movie that takes control by Delta Force style actions and diplomatic threats taking taxes, while knight like figures as Blade are purely fictional in the real world. 

"You are one of them, aren't you?"  "No, I am something else" quote from Blade.
