Cocaine COLD OPEN: Griselda Blanco. The Godmother. La Madrina. The Black Widow. The Columbian drug lord who came BEFORE the Medellin Cartel. Before Pablo. The woman who helped turn Miami into both the most murderous city in America in the early 80s - with brazen hits, machine gunning down a rival at a mall liquor store in broad daylight, ordering a hit on an entire family, and - one of the drug lords who helped build Miami’s skyline. 80’s drug money built a lot of those beach condos. Built a lot of those downtown skyscrapers. Unlike most Columbian drug lords, Griselda did anything but keep the business away from her family. She forced her family into the business, and it cost most of those around her their lives. And yet she lived to the ripe old age of 69 - ancient by drug lord standards. So let’s get into some cocaine. Let’s get into Columbia, New York, and Miami. Let’s go full Griselda in this coked up, machine gun, gangster edition of Timesuck! PAUSE INTRO MUSIC I.

How do you get into the business? Do you start off in private, Catholic school in the suburbs with a doctor for a dad and a nurturing stay at home mom? Do you move from Homecoming Queen one year to ordering hits on rival dealers the next? Do you study finance and business administration so you can stay on top of the inevitable money laundering that comes with coke cash? Not usually. Usually you start off in the dirt. With nothing to lose and everything to gain. Usually you’re born into a world of drugs where life is fast and cheap. And Griselda is no exception. So let’s take a long, hard look look at the birth, life, and death of Griselda in a Timesuck Timeline. III. Timesuck Timeline 1. Feb. 15th, 1943: Griselda Blanco was born on Feb. 15th, 1943, even though her tombstone says Feb. 14th. There are a lot of discrepancies in the historical accounts of Griselda. Her life is shrouded in mystery. She embellished truths and let wild rumors grow to create more fear in her enemies and rivals and she concealed her identity numerous times to help evade capture. She was born somewhere in Columbia. She herself listed at least three different cities in accounts of her birth. Most likely she was born in Cartagena (“Carta-hey-na”), a coastal city on the Caribbean. An old city founded in 1533. A city where indigenous people had lived, according to archaeological evidence, since at least 4,000 B.C. The Cocanos - the original harvesters and processors of cocaine. The Cocanos chewed on the leaves of the Coca plant. Then, thousands of years ago, they began crushing the leaves into a paste and then drying it for a faster high. Soon after that, the Krackano tribe figured out how to harden the paste, crystalize it, and smoke it in old pottery pipes. And then a third tribe, the Krackano Heados, who couldn’t make it themselves and would buy it from the Cocanos and the Krackano Heados started stealing everyone’s stuff and offering to fellate fellow tribe members for just one more hit of that sweet Krakano rock. Also, around this time, the ancient tribes invented a form of disco, began wearing all white suits, took to wearing sunglasses indoors, and drove nothing but soft top convertibles. All that tribe stuff was bullshit. But the area has been inhabited since around 4,000 B.C. In 1533, it was founded by Pedro de Heredia, a Spanish explorer and quickly became an important shipping center for sending Peruvian silver back to Spain. And, actually, the Spaniards truly did encourage the indigenous people of that time to chew the Coca leaves, because it did get them high, and kept them more obedient and allowed them to work longer hours in those mines. How strange is that? On day you have an entire culture and way of life that has remained virtually unchanged for centuries. And then, the next day, some Spanish assholes on some boats show up and change everything. Suddenly, you’re a part of their culture. And not the good part. Yesterday, you may have been a respected warrior or village elder. Now, you’re some schmuck in a silver mine literally working yourself to death so some King across an Ocean, living in a country you’ll never see or benefit from, can get even richer than he already is and afford to fund more expeditions to find more indigenous people and fuck them over too. God the world REALLY just isn’t fair, is it? It really, really isn’t. Anyway, Cartegna - that’s what I keep trying to talk about. honestly, the more I look into Cartegna, the more I want to go. It’s a gorgeous coastal city of about a million people with beautiful old Catholic churches, colonial architecture, and an average temperature of 82 degrees. Museums, beaches, shopping plazas, nightlife, and currently, not too much crime. It looks amazing! If only Griselda could’ve grown up to own a cool beach restaurant or develop beachfront condos or run a nightclub. Something. She could still be there today, an elderly grandmother. So interesting with all of us how there are all these various paths we can take in our lives. So many points where if we would’ve zigged left instead of zagged right, we’d be an entirely different person now living an entirely different life. Wherever she was born, Grisleda was baptized in Santa Marta, also on Colombia’s Caribbean coast, another bad ass looking place to visit of a little under half a million people. Founded on July 29, 1525, by the Spanish conquistador Rodrigo de Bastidas, it was the first Spanish settlement in Colombia. Another postcard of a city with the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range, ancient ruins, mangrove forests, hiking trails, beaches, and beautiful Columbian women. And the baptismal center of a woman who would lead a horrifically ugly life. The man Griselda called her father, who might have actually been her stepfather, was a taxi driver named Luis Carlos Blanco. Griselda would later tell friends that she had been raised in poverty, unable to afford so much as shoes; others would say that Luis and Griselda’s mother, Ana, provided Griselda and her three younger siblings with all their basic needs. She’d carry his name her whole life. 2. Early 1940s/1946: And then, at some point very early in Griselda’s childhood, when she was around three years old, the family moved to the Barrio Antioquia (“An-ti-o-qi-ah”), a decidedly not very nice at all neighborhood far from the beach in Medellin. Remember Medellin from the Pablo Escobar suck? The city Pablo was raised in. The city he’d be shot down in. The city he’d come to control for years through ruthless violence and bribes. Home of the Medellin drug cartel at the height of it’s power.

  • Pizzagate / Pedogate, a No-Nonsense Fact-Filled Reader
    Pizzagate / Pedogate A No-nonsense Fact-filled reader Preface I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat. —Trump Executive Order 13818, Dec. 20, 2017 Pizzagate means many things to many people, the angle of the lens may be different, but the focus zeros in on a common body of incontestable facts. The fruit of top researchers collected in this reader allows you to compare, correlate and derive a flexible synthesis to suit your needs. An era of wild contradiction is upon us in the press. The psychopathic rumblings that pass for political discourse bring the artform of infotainment to a golden blossoming. A bookstore display table featuring The Fixers; The Bottom-Feeders, Crooked Lawyers, Gossipmongers, and Porn Stars Who Created the 45th President versus Witch Hunt; The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History are both talking about the same man, someone who paid for his campaign out of his own pocket. There were no big donors from China and the traditional bank of puppeteers. This created a HUGE problem, one whose solution threatened the money holders and influence peddlers. New leadership and a presidential order that threw down the gauntlet, a state of emergency, seeded the storm clouds. The starting gun was fired, all systems were go, the race had begun. FISAs and covert operations sprang into action. The envelopes are being delivered, the career decisions are being made, should I move on or stay the course.

I thank my committee, the Department of Political Science, the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Graduate School at the University of Florida for giving me the opportunity, financial support, and intellectual freedom to follow my curiosity wherever it led. I thank my undergraduate teacher and mentor, Art Vanden Houten, for introducing me to Catharine MacKinnon’s Toward A Feminist Theory of the State and, inadvertently, the sex wars when I was a student in his Contemporary Political Thought course at Flagler College in the spring of 2003. Finally, I thank my wife, Paola Aguirre, my friends and colleagues, Mauro Carracioli, Alec Dinnin, Billy Kelly, Jessica Lancia, Manu Samnotra, and Seaton Tarrant, my parents, Lana and Michael Bracewell, and my sister, Amy Wenditz, for listening patiently, sharing generously, and forgiving readily when I neglected my most important obligations for the sake of this comparatively inconsequential project. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4
