Saying this today, so it's marked w/a date stamp.
Will back it up extensively in weeks 2 come.
Here it is (3-tweet THREAD):

MEYER LANSKY SET UP THE GLOBAL LAUNDROMAT.

It's his FRAMEWORK.
LCN used it to launder their money from the moment he created it.
nytimes.com/1983/01/16/obi…
2. Transnational crime syndicate (detailed in Treasury Dept. Reports) EXPANDED IT.
But it is Lansky's creation.
It starts with him.
3. Panama Papers EXPOSED it.

That's what we're looking at.
That's what it means to...
#FOLLOWTHEMONEY
Let's begin.

1. OCTOBER 17, 1931, AL CAPONE is convicted of tax evasion. Unable to convict him 4 boot-legging & murder, LE went after the MONEY. It was creative at the time.

At this point, Lansky was focused on elevating Lucky Luciano 2 capo. There would be no fortune w/o that. Image
Image
2. With Luciano in place, Lansky went for gold.
Gambling.
"Carpet Joints" ➡️ Casinos.
The enterprise that cemented his billions.
Legit profits aside, every leg of today's global laundromat can be traced back 2 Lansky's ops: the shell companies & banks that washed his skim. Image
3. But there was a problem.
That Capone conviction.
The taxes Lansky WAS NOT PAYING.
Hundreds of millions in dirty money - hiding in offshore companies, but not without detection.
It freaked him out.
So, he went to Switzerland. Because of this ⬇️. Thanks 🇨🇭! 🤨 Image
4. There are just so many sources for ⬆️. Books, articles. I could list them all, but that's boring.
So, for reference, the above screenshot is from The Guardian.
And this article gives you a decent summary.
cbsnews.com/news/the-dirty…
5. The story of how Lansky was deeply involved in getting that law passed is rooted in his work with the French against the Nazis (not sh*tting you).
That story I'm still researching, and belongs in another medium.
You just need to know now about the money.
The framework.
6. So, two things for now:
A) Lansky had money operations in the following countries/ territories: U.S., Canada, Cuba, Bahamas, Mexico, Poland, Russia, England, and of course Switzerland.
B) ALL of it was washed through HIS own Swiss BANKS.
7. Yes. That's right. Lansky had his own banks.

And note those territories/ countries.
For anyone hunting the global crime syndicate today - for which Donnie 2 Scoops washing blood money thru his R.E., those locations are key.nytimes.com/1975/04/09/arc…
8. (*"washes" above)
And, for today's leg of this story, we're gonna drop a big shoe that takes us to our present f*ckery.
You see, Lansky's left the management of his framework to an heir.
And that sh*tbird brought in a whole cabal of familiar names.
He is...
ALVIN MALNIK. Image
Image
Image
Image
10. I'll let @ninaandtito & @jamesfourm destroy Malnik for you. Just search their TLs by his last name. In there is A) 💰 for the dotard; & B) an empire 4 Tom Barrack.

And I'll add this...
Oh, look! Gross-hole Brett Ratner.
Who would have thunk it?
11. Yep, you guessed it. That takes us right to RatPac, James Packer, & Steve Mnuchin.
Which if you've been following along, brings in Weinstein and the ever-disgusting Len Blavatnik. 🤮
IT. IS. ALL. CONNECTED.
indiewire.com/2017/11/brett-…
12. Oh, & someone should really look in2 who/how Ratner purchased his Hombly Hills home.
If I were @FBILosAngeles, looking in2 💰-launder, I would be all over that property.
But if U send a female agent, tell her 2 wear sneakers. The boy ❤️ his floors. 😎

Mob. Mob. Mob. Mob. Image
13. More to come... Image
14. Let's continue w/ Lansky's laundromat.
Reminder: Tax-evasion took down his Chicago capo, Capone.

The global money wash came from Lansky's need to hide his 💰 from the Feds. Mobsters don't care about jail, they care about their money.
#NeverFuckWithTheMobsMoney
15. And Lansky needed to protect his (which means also protecting all of what he & Luciano created: La Cosa Nostra).
So, Lansky found a method via a new law he helped install in Switzerland: offshore banking.
EVERYONE who Lansky was in business with directly...
16. ...participated in this structure - in his laundromat.
They had to. This is how the money was hidden.
This included Lansky's key bootlegging partner in Canada.
washingtonpost.com/archive/lifest…
17. Again, organized crime is a global business and always has been. Distribution is everything. And distribution partners are at the top of their business pyramid. They are mobsters, no matter how white the collar.
#GottaMoveTheGoods Image
18. Sam Bronfman & his spawn are a clear bridge from La Cosa Nostra to Soviet-Russian organized crime.
There. I said it.
Other researchers are on it.
And how this octopus has mutated over decades since prohibition is truly disturbing.
Watch this space.
19. So, let's get down to it. To the money. To the accounts. To the beginning.
To grasp what I'm about to drop here, let's remember 2 things:

A. The Organized Crime story we've been following - the U.S. mobsters who started this whole shit-show, began as bootleggers.
19. B. What Lansky & Luciano mastered was distribution.
20. Then, they put a profit-sharing business model underneath it all. Distribution territories were divided among partners = the "families"

The creation of La Cosa Nostra was the combination of organizing both distribution and profit-sharing.
21. The barrier to their business was law enforcement.
There are many tactics for over-coming this barrier: compromising law enforcers & law makers (politicians), bribes, thuggery...
But this is a BUSINESS. This is about money.
#NeverFuckWithTheMobsMoney
22. Lansky is the one who found a way to protect their money from the law.
I've spelled it out above, but I'll say it again here: Meyer Lansky created the global laundromat.
Want to see it?
24. Caribbean = key distribution path.
That's why Meyer went to Switzerland to get the offshore banking law passed. He laundered his money in his trafficking hub & took over every biz he needed.
It's a plan that lasted. It's the "why" behind locations of Trump-branded hotels. Image
Image
Image
26. Meyer Lansky created the global laundromat.
It's his framework.
And Semion Mogilevich stole it. Image
Image
Image
Image
34. Have you been watching the video in this? I hope so. It's all there.
35. The framework Lansky created, and Semion stole, has become a monster.
The dark money is so vast - so powerful, the underworld it fuels is flooding Democracy itself.
We are in a global battle between law and lawlessness.
Don't underestimate this moment.
We will get to Havana - the one-time jewel of Lansky's caribe hub.
We will get to Kennedy.
We will get to it all.
We will.
First comes Vegas, which is the heaviest lifting I've got.
Until then...
37. Vegas is calling... And she needs a proper set-up.
To continue, let's re-visit La Cosa Nostra origins. Because we're picking this sh*t up in the transition era: from prohibition to global racketeering.
Where Lansky's casinos come in...
38. In that transition, there's a stop on our way to Vegas...
NEW ORLEANS.
Oh, how she seduced them all: Lansky & his Canadians, Black Hand Matranga, Carolla, Marcello.
So raw & delicious, that city - that port - those brothels & carpet rooms - music & sweet sweat. Irresistible.
39. Lansky needed New Orleans like a '68 Road Runner needs oil. W/o New Orleans, the Chicago Outfit (HQ for every Cosa Nostra crime family from '20s-'80s) could not have run its bootlegging empire.
New Orleans was everything. And Lansky perfected his modern casino model there.
Yes, Lansky already had casinos (in Florida primarily) to launder illegal gains from bootlegging, prostitution, heroin trafficking. He'd learned it all under Rothstein.
But New Orleans offered him something important for what would become Vegas...
history.com/this-day-in-hi…Image
Image
41. As with everything else (like how the automobile would allow him & Luciano 2 conquer distribution & overthrow the Mustache Petes), Lansky had a vision.
MACHINES.
And this is where a very important character - 1 that will take us right to Donald J. Trump - enters the scene...
42. Francesco Castiglia. You may know him by his American name, FRANK COSTELLO. The most successful & infamous boss of the Genovese crime family. Appointed by his friend, Lucky Luciano.
Costello was a 3rd student of Rothstein's.
And in '34, he'd run into a wee bit of trouble...
43. Machines. Slot machines.
They lit up Lansky's visions w/ mathematical perfection.
And they needed a home. Somewhere he could study them - perfect his projections - get it all locked down tight & legit, so even his psycopath Ben Seigel could run it.
lasvegassun.com/news/2003/sep/…Image
44. New Orleans was the place.
It was the one Mustache Pete stronghold that Luciano didn't need to touch. The muscle there simply folded right in.
The Black Hand. Founded by Sicilian brothers, Charles & Antonio Matranga in the 1870s.
New Orleans is as old world as America gets.
45. Now, here is where we get the intersection of the origins of the NSA, Meyer Lansky's laundromat, the future of organized crime, and the inevitable assassination of an American President.
This is where the underworld breaks through and sets its course.
46. Remember the woman who took on the mob, cracking their distribution-communication codes (codes no doubt crafted by Lansky)?
You know, the genius cryptologist whose methods helped establish the NSA?
Well if not, I don't want you to forget her from here on out.
She's our hero. Image
47. Now, that New Orleans port was so central to transnational liquor & heroin distribution, that it attracted a ton of LE attention.
But catching mobsters in a city as corrupt as New Orleans - where the Black Hand had been seducing pols, judges, & LE for decades, was slippery...
48. A mathematician was needed. One with a mind as sharp - if not sharper than Lansky's. That was Elizebeth. Lordy, that woman - all by herself (okay, w/ a little aid from the Coast Guard), caught them all.

2 more names from here to know: Burt/Bert MORRISON & CARLOS MARCELLO...
49. Morrison was the Vancouver/BC liquor king - as big as Bronfman. And probably the one who supplied dotard's grandpa with liquor & whores in Canada, before old man Drumpf ran from the Mounties and ended up back in Costello's territory. 😜
50. And Marcello? Well, he rose up through the ranks to boss of the Black Hand. And he just so happened to partner with Lansky & Costello in their New Orleans' casinos.
themobmuseum.org/notable_names/…
51. The Beverly was a favorite. This was the formula that created Vegas: laundering, racketeering, gambling, distribution point, entertainment - all in one place.
lasvegassun.com/news/2003/sep/…
nola.com/300/2017/08/re…
theadvocate.com/gambit/new_orl… Image
Image
52. Now, the achilles of centralizing your ops - AND making them an entertainment spectacle (b/c, well, there are stars to compromise along with all the powerful sycophants that come along with them. Luciano knew: nothing beats a shiny object in a spotlight & sequin dress) is ...
53. You've just created a blinking read target for a smart woman track to listen in on (why can't men understand this about women? they are always onto your game - and therefore, one-step ahead).
This is how Elizebeth caught them.
marshallfoundation.org/library/wp-con…Image
54. Morrison = COSOLIDATED EXPORTS.
"Out of Old Colonel in Pints"
That was Lansky's cipher for distribution. Elizebeth reduced it to 0s and 1s (sound familiar, coders?), and cracked their ops. Image
Image
Image
55. But, as they always seem to do, the mob bosses slipped right out of any conviction.
Elizebeth's work, for now, ends here. She broke their code. What more could she do to deliver the underworld on a silver platter?
New Orleans was just too compromised...
56. When you know NOLA's dark history, it makes gossip items like the one in this thread more than plausible.
Believe it (& follow @Peaceful_411. she has Elizebeth's soul) .
57. But let's stay on Marcello, before we leave NOLA.
He's the key to a very disturbing dotard projection from the 2016 primaries.
thedailybeast.com/trump-defends-…
58. We're going ahead a few decades. 1963.
Marcello is still crime boss of NOLA. Still partnering w/ The Outfit (either that, or they just f*cking destroyed you) - which was now run by Giancana (with Lansky still Chairman of the Board)... Image
59. A bunch of complicated mob sh*t was going down with Costello - which eventually benefitted Fred & dotard. I'll get into details in another thread.
Just hold onto the truth that The Outfit ran everything - had all the "kompromat" & controlled all the money - the laundromat. Image
Image
Image
Image
60. So, it's The Outfit & Marcello in New Orleans. Where a young man returned home and found a headquarter for his little Soviet-deza op: Fair Play For Cuba.
Oh yes. It's him.
LEE HARVEY OSWALD.
How does this all read now to you? Are you getting this yet?
washingtonpost.com/archive/opinio…Image
Image
61. This is why New Orleans is important for Cuba.
We're going to get there. We are.
Vegas first, though. Because, in the end, everything we're living through now is because of Lansky's laundromat. It is all about that #DarkMoneyPot... Image
Image
Image
Image
63. Just imagine if Friedman's work, back in the transition era, had been heeded as irrefutable fact, rather than opinions of a woman (b/c that's what happened. that's how those mobsters slipped Lady Justice).
If the whole racket had been brought down then, would we be here now?
64. Trust our intel agencies. They're the good guys/gals. They give everything they have to pick up signals - decode illegal activity - protect us from gangsters, murderers, thieves. And they do so LEGALLY & w/great care.
Anyone trying to poke their eyes out is a damn criminal. Image
65. I'll see you in Vegas.
G'night. 😘

Well, I just did a live video on the “Why” of the FBI removing donald’s name/images from the Epstein files, and I apparently didn’t do a setting where it would record and save?
Fuck it. I’ll go ahead and type it all out for you in a thread. Bear with me… /1
Do you really believe a reported 1000 or so FBI agents/personnel would comb through the mountains of evidence and gathered information on Jeffrey Epstein to meticulously remove any mention or appearance of donald trump - AND keep their collective mouths shut (meaning, no official whistleblower), if there weren’t an official policy they were following? /2
No. You don’t believe that. Even under Bondi and Patel’s leadership - and all their moral/ethical corruption, a thousand FBI employees are not going to do something that isn’t by the book.
So, how is this mass-redaction effort “by the book”? Well, it’s not because donald is POTUS. That’s not a thing.
But… as ‘ve been saying for a decade now… it is by the book to protect the confidential informant(s) involved in the case.
There are legal agreements with CIs to protect them, that the FBI must follow. Even if Congress passes a law, employees are doing their jobs - by their own book, to protect CIs and in this case, perform their jobs redactions without opening their mouths about it. There’s no whistleblower process either for agents/employees who are following official DOJ policy/rules.
Hence: no leaks on this.

Guns are not sacred.
They are man-made objects.
To treat them as sacred is to commit idolatry. It is that simple. /1
The Christo-fascists who worship the 2nd amendment know this. They know they are committing idolatry. Their worship of the gun gives them power over your life… /2
as long as you allow their lust for the gun - their idolatry - to reign over the laws of this nation.

They don’t want you to know that they know. They don’t want you to grasp idolatry. /3

No need to scratch heads over what donald could mean in his social media storm today.
He's been a rat since Cody (concrete cartel & commission trial).
Which means, he's long had "deals."
I'll just thread some old threads on it.
