  6. Cocaine gangs are a menace, this is a grim tale for the True Crime fans our there.

    "Smith, who had been a "working family man" but developed a class A drug dependency in late 2024. He led a "chaotic lifestyle" after he was released from prison, the court also heard."

  7. 1929 übernahm ein Mann namens #HarryAnslinger das Ministerium für #Prohibition in #Washington. Die Prohibition von #Alkohol war ein #Desaster. #Verbrecher kontrollierten ganze Nachbarschaften. Alkohol— kontrolliert von Kriminellen — war auf einmal noch viel giftiger als vorher.

    Also wurde die #AlkoholProhobition endlich gestoppt – und Harry #Anslinger hatte Angst. businessinsider.de/wissenschaf

  9. It's well known by both sides of the spectrum in #politics, that the #US has a de-facto ruling #oligarchy in its tech and financial sectors despite all the democratic claims. An oligarchy able to control the political system, its legislation and the application of justice through their sheer possession of #money. It's control over public #institutions is undisputed... to the extent that, in daily practice, it is bound by no legislation, no intellectual #property. It embodies the very definition and practice of #anarchocapitalism, just not so formally stated as to explicitly reject the rule of #law. Appearances must be kept, but only to a certain extent.

    #LatinAmerica has its own, endemic, oligarchy problem too; not coming out of its local tech sector, but from the #drugs dealing, human #trafficking, #smuggling, #prostitution, and murder-by-contract businesses instead. Because that is what they truly are: #businesses... organizations conducting particular forms of #trade, for the sake of personal #profit. Those oligarchs, just like its american counterparts, share the exact same anarchocapitalist view that the law shouldn't restrict the freedom to do business of any sort. Even if that business ends up with a couple of bullets inside the cranium of some 18 year old kid. Accidents can always happen at the job.

    The enterprise in itself always had a direct link to organized #crime, not the least because of the identical nature of their entrepreneurial activity. And that, by necessity, means that very similar practices must take place in each. It's truly not surprising that every "fully legally compliant" #enterprise is, behind closed doors, hiding plenty of illegal practices within... from #taxevasion thanks to carefully selected international banks and falsified accounting records, to financial #fraud designed to deceive investors and shareholders.

    In certain moments, when this symmetry becomes specially obvious, one side and the other can truly and visibly overlap. This is how a sizable group of american business men made their initial fortunes trafficking alcohol during times of #prohibition, in the 20s and 30s, only to become the established entrepreneurial class of later years. Now, the direct successors of that group of oligarchs are in Silicon Valley at the moment, busy at the task of physically destroying the local and global environment, along with millions of old and out of print books for AI training purposes. The law, as we can imagine, has nothing to say about that.

  10. #WaronDrugs / #Prohibition and a breakdown of trust within #NHS as well as chronic understaffing likely caused this.

    #Diazepam is a controlled substance and is therefore kept in secure storage, with only certain staff allowed to access it (and NHS don't even trust their own staff not to divert it) leading to the delay in prescribing it for this patient..

  12. Brian De Palma – „The Untouchables“ (1987)

    Mehr (maskuline) Star-Power geht eigentlich gar nicht: Kevin Costner, Sean Connery, Andy García und Robert De Niro in einem Film von Brian De Palma. Im Kanon der ganz großen Mafia-Filme hat dieser Film 1987 ganz eigene Maßstäbe gesetzt, die bis heute ziemlich unerreicht geblieben sind. Ganz, ganz großes Kino! (ARD, Wh.)

  13. In den frühen Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts begann sich die öffentliche Meinung über 🌱 #Cannabis zu ändern, insbesondere in den #USA. Dies geschah aufgrund von #Desinformationen & der ungerechten Verbindung von #Hanf mit #Einwanderern und #marginalisiertenGemeinschaften. Sensationslustige #Medienberichte und die allgemeine #Unwissenheit über die Wirkungen von Cannabis trugen zu einer Atmosphäre der #Angst und #Paranoia bei, die schließlich zur #Prohibition führte.
