  • Huachicol Fiscal & Energy Infrastructure with Dr. Nathan Jones

    Huachicol Fiscal & Energy Infrastructure with Dr. Nathan Jones
    Oct 28 2026
    Do you know where the gas in your car originated? Was it all above board, or was it smuggled into the country and injected into legal supply chains without taxes or fees? This week, we unpack oil fraud and gas smuggling from Mexican drug cartels, a diversified revenue stream that might be more profitable than drugs or human trafficking. We're joined by Dr. Nathan Jones, the chair of the security studies department at Sam Houston State.

    Sidebar: We're keeping tabs on cybersecurity vulnerabilities uncovered in "PHP" systems across the internet. We're planning an episode soon but the issue cuts across critical infrastructure sectors and sparked web updates across our campus, so I wanted to highlight articles (one, two and three) about it here in the meantime.
