This week: #MobDepravity
A series of threads focusing on THE MOB & THE 7 DEADLY SINS.
Lust 💋🏩👯‍♀️
Gluttony🥃🍻💉💊
Greed💰💎💍
Sloth☠️
Wrath👹⚔️
Envy🤑
Pride👌
Today's thread will be on GLUTTONY: The mob's involvement in Prohibition, drug trafficking & THE OPIOID CRISIS.
To learn about the mob's involvement in supplying booze during Prohibition, you need to read the Mob Oracle @LincolnsBible.
LB has written a lot about the mob profiting off Prohibition. I'm just putting a small selection of threads here-go dig on @LincolnsBible's timeline for more.


Next up: Drug trafficking.
Organized crime has a long history in trafficking illegal drugs.
This UNODC document is from 1953:
unodc.org/unodc/en/data-…
nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2011/…
Latin American cartels and the Russian mafia have been teaming up to traffic drugs since at least the 1990s
This is a global business and a MASSIVE profit center for organized crime.
The magnitude of the drug trade is staggering. This was just one bust:
Fentanyls are being trafficked into the US at an alarming rate. Here's the routes they take:
Now we look at how the mob profits off of & has exarcebated the opioid crisis.
An American company is to blame for MUCH of the crisis. Purdue Pharma.
Who helped them continue to spread their poison?
Rudy Giuliani.
What we are seeing with the opioid crisis is not a new phenomenon. History repeats.
washingtonpost.com/news/retropoli…
However, it's much more deadly this go-round. Why? Because synthetic opioids are FAR more potent, and thus FAR more deadly.
This ends our brief tour of how the MOB profits off GLUTTONY. Tomorrow, we'll look at GREED 💰💎💍

this seems like an intentional #provostunt by the #provokunts at @thehill
here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"

ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT.

Sovereign Society fed clients to Panama Papers law firm
#GoodJournalism by @mcclatchyDC's @KevinGHall from June 2016.
I'm gonna add some background info on Robert Bauman of the Sovereign Society, because it's important. mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU.

Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Given @gregolear @LincolnsBible @SpicyFiles and my financial analysis of Kavanaugh's family finances, he didn't have a spare $500 laying around in 2015.

Let's go through the Dutch Ministry of Defense's presentation on the indictment of GRU officers today. Purple = my imaginary commentary of the officers who put this presentation together. (AND REMEMBER: I'm A HOUSEWIFE not a SPY)
