The Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) The Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) ‘The Wolf’ The FBN was created in 1930 after a chain of events that would not look out of place in a Tom Clancy novel. However, before we begin our look into this clandestine government agency, let us first take a look at the main players of this agency 1 that merged with the Bureau of Drug Abuse Control in 1968 to form the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (BNDD) the predecessor to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). 'There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others. Harry J. Anslinger, May 20, 1892 – November 14, 1975.

  • Adventure Playground: Essentially, to a Place of Pleasure—That Today It Surrounds Us, Everywhere, Having Quietly John V
    The city’s onscreen prominence is so taken for granted today that it is hard to imagine that as late as 1965, the last year of Robert F. Wagner’s mayoralty, New York hardly appeared in films at all. That year, only two features were shot substantially in the city: The Pawnbroker, an early landmark in the career of veteran New York director Sidney Lumet, and A Thousand Clowns, directed by Fred Coe, which used extensive location work to “open up” a Broadway stage hit of a few years earlier by the playwright Herb Gardner. The big change came with Wagner’s successor, John V. Lindsay—who, soon after taking office in 1966, made New York the first city in history to encourage location filmmaking: establishing a simple, one-stop permit process through a newly created agency (now called the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting), creating a special unit of the Police Department to assist filmmakers, and ordering all city agencies and departments to cooperate with producers and directors (1). The founding of the Mayor’s Film Office—the first agency of its kind in the world—remains to this day one of the Lindsay administration’s signal achievements, an innovation in governance which has been replicated by agencies or commissions in almost every city and state in the Union, and scores of countries and provinces around the world. In New York, it helped to usher in a new industry, now generating over five billion dollars a year in economic activity and bringing work to more than 100,000 New Yorkers: renowned directors and stars, working actors and technicians, and tens of thousands of men and women employed by supporting businesses—from equipment rental houses, to scenery shops, to major studio complexes that now rival those of Southern California.

  • Jane Austen: the French Connection 107 with Footnotes on Every Page
    Jane Austen: t The French Connection :Li JOAN AUSTEN-LEIGH Joan Austen-Leigh is the co-founder, with Jack Grey and Henry Burke, of the Jane Austen Society of North America. For nineteen years, she edited this journal. Mr. Austen was once asked by a neighbor, a man of many acres, whether Paris was in France or France was in Paris. I cannot help but feel that I have almost as little right as that shamefully clueless squire to be addressing the subject of Jane Austen and the French Connection. Now, having delivered myself of that disclaimer, the first aspect of this subject that interests me, especially as I am deficient in that respect myself, is, how well did Jane Austen speak French? If she were here with us today, would she be quite at ease in Quebec City, choos- ing some gloves or purchasing a sponge cake? First, it’s time for a brief history lesson from your impartial, unprejudiced, and, until beginning to work on this paper, abysmally ignorant historian. I have now informed myself that sixteen years before Jane Austen was born, on September 13, 1759, Wolfe defeated Montcalm. The battle lasted one hour, and the history of Canada was forever changed. It has been estimated that there were, then, approximately sev- enty thousand French settlers. Today, in a Canadian population of about twenty-nine million, more than four million speak French only. Why do I tell you these things? Because the French, as a nation, have always been protective of their language and culture, and I have 106 PERSUASIONS No.

  • French Connection 1 French Connection
    French Connection 1 French Connection The French Connection was a scheme through which heroin was smuggled from Turkey to France and then to the United States. The operation reached its peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and was responsible for providing the vast majority of the illicit heroin used in the United States. It was headed by the Corsican criminals Paul Carbone (and his associate François Spirito) and Antoine Guérini, and also involved Auguste Ricord, Paul Mondoloni, Salvatore Greco,[citation needed] and Meyer Lansky.[citation needed] Most of its starting capital came from assets that Ricord had stolen during World War II when he worked for Henri Lafont, one of the heads of the Carlingue (French Gestapo) during the German occupation in World War II.[citation needed] From the 1930s to the 1950s Illegal heroin labs were first discovered near Marseille, France, in 1937. These labs were run by the notorious Corsican gang leader Paul Carbone. For years, the Corsican underworld had been involved in the manufacturing and trafficking of illegal heroin abroad, primarily to the United States.[1] It was this heroin network that eventually became known as the "French Connection". The Corsican Gang was closely allied with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the SDECE after World War II in order to prevent French communists from bringing the Old Port of Marseille under their control. [2] Historically, the raw material for most of the heroin consumed in the United States came from Indochina, then Turkey. Turkish farmers were licensed to grow opium poppies for sale to legal drug companies, but many sold their excess to the underworld market, where it was manufactured into heroin and transported to the United States.

  • Illegal-Market Monopolies and Quasi- Governmental Structures
    CHAPTER 8 Illegal-Market Monopolies and Quasi- Governmental Structures INTRODUCTION The previous two chapters have examined illegal structuresdistribute that are centered on either economic or social functions for which the terms entrepreneurial structures and associational structures have been used.or This chapter is devoted to describing and explaining a third category, one that encompasses illegal struc- tures that are political in nature because they are centered on the exercise of power. These phenomena fall into the category of quasi-governmental structures because in their purest, ideal-typical form they do indeed represent some form of underworld government. Quasi-governmental structures enablepost, certain criminals to control other crim- inals who operate in a particular illegal market or in a particular geographical area. Quasi-governmental structures regulate behavior, they protect contractual and property rights in the context of illegal business, they provide protection against predatory criminals and against law enforcement, they offer dispute resolution services, andcopy, in return, they tax illegal income. In some cases the influence of quasi-governmental structures reaches beyond the confines of the underworld. Mafia groups in Italy, for example, provide protection to illegal as well as legal businesses, and by protecting legal businesses they enter into direct competitionnot with the state. This will be discussed in greater detail in later chapters (Chapter 10 and 11) as it pertains to the relationship between organized crime on one hand and the legal economy and the state on the other. The present chapterDo is focused on the governance of criminal milieus and illegal markets. Quasi-governmental structures are sometimes confused with and have to be distinguished from monopolies in illegal markets.

The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan. This law also allowed prosecutors to go after mobsters for crimes such as drug trafficking, extortion, labor racketeering, and other crimes that would usually be under the control of the mafia. In this article, the RICO law will be analyzed. This article will determine whether the RICO law has been a success and if it has fulfilled its purpose after its implementation. 8 UNDERGRADUATE LAW JOURNAL OF FAU SPRING 2021 I EDITION X After years of sending mob leaders to jail for reasons that may not have been the ones authorities wanted to charge them with, in 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act was implemented on a federal level. 1 The RICO law was designed to go after mob bosses that were not able to be charged with murder or as intellectual authors of a murder because they were not the ones executing the plan.

To the surprise and dismay of prosecutors, however, he was acquitted each time. Some say that the acquittals resulted from the furtive trial techniques of Bruce Cuttler, Gotti’s attorney; some contend that the government’s case, based on plea- bargained testimony, was fatally flawed; others speculate that there had been jury tampering. Whatever the reason, on each occasion the charges against Gotti failed to stick, earning him the nickname “Teflon don.” Finally, in 1992, the flamboyant Gotti was convicted and sent to prison for racketeering and for the 1985 murder of his own crime boss, Paul Castellano. This case not only captivated the American people but also helped perpetuate the public’s perception of organized crime in America.
