Today's thread will be on WRATH👹⚔️: how the mob uses violence and threats of violence to control people.
First we'll start at the individual level, with one-one-one violence. The mafia has always "sent messages" with murders. Here's an example:
A fucked up thing is that the MOB also wants to desensitize us to violence. They want us living in our animal brains, with our baser insticts- like them. Do you think it's an accident that the very violent MMA/UFC has made it into the mainstream?
WRATH comes out when you expose mobsters for the scum-sucking bottom feeders they are. Brave journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, to whom we ALL owe a debt, was intimidated & then murdered for shining light on the TRUTH of what the mob was up to in Malta. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
I have no doubts in my mind about who ordered her murder.
Mobsters don't like to be exposed for the disgusting inhumane monsters they are.
I pray she knows so many others are fighting on to shine light on the monsters she worked so hard to expose.
Journalists are targetted "deliberately" for the mob because the mob wants to 1) stop journalists from digging and 2) scare other people into not becoming journalists. telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/1…
We move on from violence against single individuals, to my personal Kryptonite, which is violence as a means to a propaganda end.
I've researched a lot of other really really awful things the mob does but nothing quite makes my blood boil like this: telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews…
I don't think ANYTHING could make me angrier than the use of innocent civilians as cannon fodder for a stupid propaganda-based war ie Narrative Control.
Makes me want to vomit in all the mobsters' shoes: dw.com/en/us-blames-r…
OK now we move from ground wars and information wars to Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Because the MOB actually does traffic in those.
For example: medium.com/@ninaandtito/b…
They also traffic in mercenaries. thenewsrep.com/49718/china-wa…
And then, of course, we get to state-sponsored terror.
Like the apartment bombings in Russia that helped Putin keep his hold on power. Like 9/11. Like the ILLEGAL annexation of Crimea.
This is a difficult topic and I'm exhausted, so I'll direct you to this brilliant thread, and bid you goodnight.
This ends our brief tour of WRATH. 👹⚔️
Tomorrow, we look at ENVY: #MobDepravity.
