Back To Basics.
Understanding how we got to where we are now is ESSENTIAL.
These four books are MUST-READS. You need a solid understanding of how the Russian mafia and Russian state work together. #GlobalCorruptionScandal101: Building your Mob Library. Let's begin!
1) Red Mafiya by Robert Friedman explains how the Russian mafia rolled the US mafia in the 1980s/90s. This book should be required reading for EVERY AMERICAN.
(Feature appearance of Trump Taj Mahal-where Russian mobsters loved to hang out & launder $$$) goodreads.com/book/show/7664…
2) A Very Expensive Poison by @lukeharding1968
Luke's incredible reporting of the murder, by the state of Russia, of a brave and ethical former FSB officer who coined the term, "Russian Mafia State." It's heartbreaking. Read it. goodreads.com/book/show/2881…
3) Red Notice by @Billbrowder
Learn who Sergey Magnitsky was, the corruption he uncovered in Russia, why he was MURDERED by the state of Russia, why we have a Magnitsky Act, & how @Billbrowder has fought to bring Magnitsky's murderers to justice. goodreads.com/book/show/2260…
4) The Natashas by @HeyMalarek A book about the #GlobalRapeTrade. An essential textbook-difficult to read because the content is upsetting, but well-written & necessary if you wish to understand organized crime's 3rd most-profitable business: humans. goodreads.com/book/show/9740…
I encourage everyone who wants to understand our current political corruption issues & national/global security situation re: Russia, to read these four books first. Get grounded in recent history so you can grasp what's happening now-& WHY. #GlobalCorruptionScandal101
GO READ!
