 Since cocaine production began climbing in 2013, it has more than doubled. | Europe is awash with cocaine and faces a surge of abuse as Colombia produces record amounts with increasing purity. Experts say importers are stockpiling huge quantities, alarmed by threats to supply lines due to Covid lockdowns. Supply is up, but so is demand, leaving prices stable. |
| Europe is a far more attractive prospect than the US. Prices are significantly higher, and the risks are much lower. A kilo of cocaine in the US is worth up to $28k wholesale. That same kilo is worth around $40k and might be as much as nearly $80k in different parts of Europe. |  |

A week before his 58th birthday,
HA Raymond “Ray Ray” Foakes is trying again to free himself from jail. He faces charges of maiming, assault, witness intimidation and racketeering.
He's trying to get a federal judge to reconsider a 2018 court order that keeps him caged until he’s convicted or acquitted. Its been 3 years of dead time. |
| Foakes' long criminal past includes violations on pretrial releases in other cases, multiple felony convictions with violence, and uncharged allegations that he started the River Run Riot in Laughlin, Nevada. Foakes was one of 11 HA charged in 2017 with various crimes. His brothers are accused of murdering a fellow club member and the disappearance of two others, but Foakes himself isn’t charged with homicide. |  Foakes is a former president of the Hells Angels’ Sonoma chapter. |
 | William Frank (Frank from Berdoo) Peterson passed away on Sunday, July 25. He served in the U.S. Air Force, was a craps dealer in Las Vegas, a motion picture studio grip and was a 45-year member of the Berdoo Hells Angels. |

| Jabril Abdalla realized he was in deep water when prison guards came by his cell just to look at him. His reputation was as a mafia contract killer. The reality was he had been played like a stooge and was the fall guy. Killer Michael Cudmore was found murdered at the side of a road in Mexico, and the other hitman, Daniel Tomassetti, has vanished in the country. |
 | “Abdalla in no way had direct involvement in those murders,” says a statement of facts presented by the prosecution and accepted by a judge. He is warning others not to be lured into the criminal underworld. |
 | Latest in Trump world is the desire of the monarch to have his most loyal subjects carry a Nazi-like card. Supporters were asked in begging emails to chose between four golden cards with Trump's signature on the front. |
 | In 1989 Rudolph Giuliani stepped down after six years as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. He left a legacy of hugely successful prosecutions against leaders of New York’s “Commission” of organized crime families. He was mayor of New York for eight years, reducing crime in the city by 50% and earning praise for his 9/11 performance. |
 |
20 years later we find a man that is old, infirm, and very likely an alcoholic.
He is the spewing, dripping face of Trump's lies. Rudy Giuliani worked hand in glove with America's enemies and may well be a traitor.

 | Casso caught Covid inside FSP Tucson in Arizona.  |  His many crimes were so heinous that even the threat of death from coronavirus didn't make him eligible for compassionate release. |
 | Anthony Salvatore Casso was an underboss of the Lucchese crime family. During his career in organized crime, Casso was regarded as a 'homicidal maniac.' He admitted to 36 murders but committed more. In the early 1990s Casso maintained de facto control of the Lucchese family. He ordered eleven mob slayings, and engineered several murder plots against John Gotti with Genovese leader Vincent "the Chin" Gigante. Following his arrest in 1993, Casso became one of the highest-ranking members of the Mafia to turn rat. In 1998 the US government rescinded Casso's plea agreement and dropped him from the witness protection program. Later that year he was sentenced to 455 years in prison. |  |
| Casso was eventually jailed on various charges on January 19, 1993. He finalized a deal at a hearing on March 1, 1994, where he pleaded guilty to 72 counts spelling out a huge litany of Mafia-related crimes, including racketeering, extortion and 15 murders. Casso revealed that two NYPD detectives had been on the Lucchese payroll. Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa committed eight of the eleven murders Casso had ordered. |

 | Zhao Lijian, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said the US has politicized the pandemic, stigmatized the virus, and turned COVID-19 origins tracing into a tool. It has taken to lying, discrediting and coercion as its means while showing no respect to science and justice. The ugly page of the US behavior will surely be recorded in the annals of the global fight against COVID-19, Zhao Lijian says. |
 | The US needs to publish its data on early COVID-19 cases, invite the WHO to probe Fort Detrick in Wisconsin and the University of North Carolina, and publish data on sick soldiers who attended the Wuhan Military World Games says the regime mouthpiece. |

 | The ex-Hells Angel starred in a taxpayer-funded video aimed at reforming gangsters. The QPS outlaw motorcycle gang exit program picked the wrong poster child. Geppert pleaded guilty to breaching his bail and contravening a domestic violence order, calling his ex-partner eight times from jail. He says he was lonely. |
 | Prime sub-contractor of the Danbrook One offense is Mr. Owen Patrick Kelly. This man's level of culpability is large. He put men, women, children and babies in lethal jeopardy through his shoddy construction practices. He has no qualms doing this for money, and likely not that much of it.  |  |
 Virginia Dorothy Little | In 2013 Kelly made headlines when he cried to the press about lack of financial support for his then 11-year old foster daughter with behavioral issues. He and his partner were/are professional foster care providers, catering to as many as half a dozen wards of the state at a time. The couple claimed they were 'suffering in silence' and complained about 'holes in the system', which presumably could only be patched with buckets of public money. |  “They only release funding for a three- to six-month period” |
| Glenn Allen Brooks thought he was being an American hero as he texted selfies of himself at the Capitol riot on January 6 to a chat group of church members. One called the FBI and Brooks was busted. At least 599 people have been charged in relation to the Capitol riot. It left five people dead, including a cop. |
 His lifestyle is on display on Instagram.
| Mongrel Mob member Joe Edmonds was deported from Australia to New Zealand in 2018. The gangster is called Josef Armani Heart and he wears designer clothes, eats at restaurants and lives in a palatial home in Thailand.  |
 Josef Heart's gold-plated Harley Davidson | Joe Edmonds was sent back to New Zealand after his gang tried to start a new chapter in Perth in 2017. The introduction of '501s' has also brought the Nike Bikie to New Zealand, and poster boy is Josef Heart. Gucci sandals, Rolex watches and infinity pools are on display, not leather vests. |  'Mob life my brother.' |
 | The term Nike Bikie was first applied
to Middle Eastern bikers in New South Wales. The most important touch for the new uniform was the Nike Air Max TN.

 | William Bottoms Jr., 30, of Greenwell Springs, was found guilty of second-degree murder in the June 2017 shooting deaths of Dedrick Dewayne Williams, 23, and Mohamed Sead Hussain, 29. The paranoid Bottoms was on meth and without provocation shot the two men as they sat in the back seat of a car. |  His two life terms run consecutively. |
 | “I committed no crime, and if you think I committed a crime, you’re probably really stupid, because you don’t know who I am." “I am more than willing to go to jail if they want to put me in jail. And if they do, they’re going to suffer the consequences in heaven. I’m not, I didn’t do anything wrong.” |
The Chinese call questions "politicized misinformation."
| Did the COVID-19 pandemic start with a Chinese lab leak? Research referred to as “gain of function" is common at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and it was performed on pathogen bat viruses at a lab security level on par with a dentist's office. Adament Chinese denials that a leak occured are falling flat when investigations are not being allowed by the regime. |
 | Experimenting with pathogens to force them to mutate to become more lethal or transmissible to humans is an ethical issue. Nobody can possibly say if the benefits outweigh the risks. Safety lapses involving avian flu, smallpox, and anthrax point out that leaks are not uncommon. In 2014 the U.S. put a moratorium on funding gain-of-function research involving influenza, MERS, and SARS. The moratorium was lifted in 2017. |
 | The Wuhan Institute of Virology has long been tied to the Chinese military.
China’s unwillingness to release information has heightened suspicions that COVID-19 was engineered as a bio-weapon, and started a global pandemic with a leak from the Wuhan lab.  |
 | Richard and Margaret Whittemore ran a jewel robbery gang, and their crimes in 1925 and 1926 were front page news across the US. Before Bonnie and Clyde, the Whittemores established the image of the bad boy gangster and his moll. Richard Whittemore, "The Candy Kid," lured flapper Margaret, aka "Tiger Girl," into the high life of crime. Richard Whittemore was a career criminal who escaped from the Maryland state penitentiary on February 20, 1925, after killing a prison guard. |
 | On October 29, 1925, six gunmen hijacked an armored truck en route to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Stopping the truck they killed the driver and the guard and then fled with $93,000 in cash. The robbery made headlines across the country. The gang was eventually caught. Whittemore was convicted on May 21, condemned to death on June 10, and hanged on August 13, 1926. Margaret Whittemore was arrested but never convicted for her roles in any of the crimes. She died at age 90 on April 13, 1993. |  |
