Detective Michael Palermo built his career on his unique ability to inhabit two worlds at once: the world of law enforcement and the underworld of New York’s crime family organizations. Palermo participated in over 2,000 arrests while maintaining close relationships with the kingpins of organized crime - ties that allowed him to stay one step ahead of the rest of the New York City Police Department. This true crime drama takes you inside the police force at its most corrupt.

Richard Stratton was the unlikeliest of kingpins. A clean-cut Wellesley boy who entered outlaw culture on a trip to Mexico, he saw his search for a joint morph into a thrill-filled dope run smuggling two kilos across the border in his car door. He became a member of the Hippie Mafia, traveling the world to keep America high, living the underground life while embracing the hippie credo, rejecting hard drugs in favor of marijuana and hashish.

Here's what we now know: John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas by Mafia contract killers hired by Louisiana mob boss Carlos Marcello. Kennedy was killed in that city because it was the only place in the country where a crime of that magnitude could be committed without fear of punishment. Long-time local district attorney Henry Wade, an LBJ crony who would have sole jurisdiction over the prosecution of those responsible, had been corrupted by the local Civello crime family. Lyndon B. Johnson, while a U.S. senator during the 1950s, had accepted bribes from the same mobsters so that they could avoid deportation.

Zu den Corona-Impfstoffen, die an über fünf Milliarden Menschen in ein bis fünf Dosen verabreicht wurden und die zu geschätzten bis zu 20 Millionen Todesfällen sowie einer immensen Zahl an Geschädigten weltweit führten, scheint bereits alles gesagt worden zu sein. Eines jedoch hat bisher niemand vollbracht: den Beweis dafür zu erbringen, dass die beteiligten Pharmariesen sehr genau wussten, dass man die gesamte Menschheit als Versuchskaninchen für nicht regelkonform zugelassene, genetisch modifizierende sowie giftige, also hochgefährliche Produkte benutzte.

Greed. Lies. Corruption. These are the foundational elements of the American Mafia story. Here, the pursuit of power overshadows even the desire for a dollar, and self-interest outweighs the greater good. It’s a world that’s foreign to the average American—or is it? The values of our democracy and those of Mafia culture are separated by a thin line that’s quickly disintegrating.

We take the Mafia members into the evil world of murder. We follow cases and criminals from birth to execution and everything in between. Follow us as we breakdown some of the worst and shockingly unknown killers and crimes ever committed.

The question is simple, will the 45th President of the United States end up in jail when he leaves office. The story to understand is how did we get here? Donald Trump's administration has been filled with indictments, rumors, and speculation that his ties to Russia have influenced his policy decisions and compromised his ability to lead. The deeper question is inside the fracturing media environment: what is true and what is simply rumor? The politics of anger, fear, and division has compromised the biggest story of our generation. Mainstream media outlets compromised by corporate media ...

In this disturbing exposé, journalist Paul L. Williams describes a secret alliance forged at the close of World War II by the CIA, the Sicilian and US mafias, and the Vatican to thwart the possibility of a Communist invasion of Europe. Williams presents evidence suggesting the existence, in many European countries, of "stay-behind" units consisting of 5,000 to 15,000 military operatives.

Caught between Camorra gunrunners selling to ISIS and Nigerian drug gangs along Italy's picturesque coast, each year thousands of refugees and migrants are lured into their underworld, forced to become sex slaves, drug mules, or weapon smugglers. In this powerful expose, investigative journalist Barbie Latza Nadeau follows the weapons trail, meets the trafficked women trapped by black magic, the brave nuns who try to save them, and the Italian police who turn a blind eye as the most urgent issues facing Europe play out in broad daylight.

Un largo trabajo de investigación que desvela cómo Rusia se ha convertido en el gran desestabilizador de la geopolítica global. Tras la caída de la Unión Soviética en 1991, Rusia era un país empobrecido y caótico que parecía destinado a la irrelevancia internacional. Pero bajo el liderazgo de Vladímir Putin, ha recuperado una influencia que desafía el orden global. ¿Qué sostiene este «imperio» que con los años ha derivado hacia el totalitarismo?

In this Very Short Introduction, Georgios A. Antonopoulos and Georgios Papanicolaou uncover the reality of organized crime in our world today. Shining a light on the people involved in organized crime, Antonopoulos and Papanicolaou question whether the term "organized" is used to evoke the image, the operations, and power of a legitimate organization, such as a corporation. Discussing whether there are particular crimes that the label "organized crime" applies to, or if any crime can be organized, they also consider what happens when organized crime extends beyond borders.

Mafia Spies is the definitive account of America’s most remarkable espionage plots ever - with CIA agents, mob hitmen, “kompromat” sex, presidential indiscretion, and James Bond-like killing devices together in a top-secret mystery full of surprise twists and deadly intrigue. In the early 1960s, two top gangsters, Johnny Roselli and Sam Giancana, were hired by the CIA to kill Cuba’s Communist leader, Fidel Castro, only to wind up murdered themselves amidst Congressional hearings and a national debate about the JFK assassination.

"Uomini contro la mafia" è la storia di una resistenza anomala. Una resistenza che inizia con la nascita della consorteria mafiosa e prosegue fino ai giorni nostri. È la storia di uomini che hanno speso la propria vita affinché la mafia potesse essere sconfitta e che, troppo spesso, sono caduti per difendere le istituzioni democratiche di un Paese distratto e irriconoscente. Servitori dello Stato e uomini di Chiesa, esponenti della società civile e dirigenti di partito, imprenditori e sindacalisti: personalità diverse unite dallo stesso destino.

About 50km outside of Cape Town lies the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, nestled against vineyards and blue mountains that stretch to the sky. Here reside some of South Africa’s wealthiest individuals: all male, all Afrikaans - and all stinking rich. Johann Rupert, Jannie Mouton, Markus Jooste and Christo Weise, to name a few. Julius Malema refers to them scathingly as ‘The Stellenbosch Mafia’, the very worst example of white monopoly capital. But who really are these mega-wealthy individuals, and what influence do they exert?

In unserem Gesundheitssystem herrschen mafiöse Verhältnisse. Um den Profit der Ärzte und der Gesundheitsindustrie zu sichern, werden überflüssige Operationen durchgeführt und Medikamente verschrieben, die mehr schaden als nutzen. Gesunde werden zu Kranken erklärt, weil Laborwerte willkürlich festgelegten Normen nicht entsprechen oder Röntgenbilder völlig unbedenkliche Abweichungen vom Ideal zeigen.

Das Geschäft mit dem Antarktisdorsch ist illegal - und lukrativ. Genau wie Drogenhandel. Von Polizei und Behörden unbehelligt spült eine Flotte von Piraten-Trawlern ihren Eignern zweistellige Millionenbeträge in die Taschen. Jahr für Jahr - dem "weißen Gold" sei Dank. Der Umweltorganisation Sea Shepherd ist es gelungen, den Trawler "Thunder" zu stellen. Bevor dessen Kapitän sein Schiff eigenhändig versenkte, konnte Sea Shepherd noch wichtige Dokumente und Beweise von Bord retten.

You've heard about the courageous young investigators who covertly videotaped officials of ACORN advocating illegal activities. Now, get ready for an undercover exposé even more daring: a six-month penetration of the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations that resulted in the collection of thousands of pages of smoking-gun documents from this terror-supporting front group for the dangerous, moblike Muslim Brotherhood.
