Big props for exposing the true history of narcotics trafficking in the United States! As a mob historian, I've been well aware of the Italian, French, and Jewish involvement in this dirty and despicable criminal trade. The focus was to profit from the Black American communities.
I highly recommend a book about this subject by Alexander Hortis called THE MOB AND THE CITY. It's very detailed and informative.
You deserve a lot of credit. I think this is the first, in my lifetime, I've seen a video breakdown and expose how deeply Jews, Italians, and other "White" criminals were really in the drug trafficking business. Great job!

@@tomschmitt6911 thanks, corrected.
Excellent content! You obviously did some exhaustive research on a very complicated topic that few professional journalists let alone RUclips channels have tried to explain in great detail. I read your comment about working on some additional content about the Mob and drug trafficking and look forward to your follow up work picking the topic/story up where you left off in the early 1960’s. Thank you for your excellent presentation.
Thank you that means a lot and YES it was an extremely difficult topic to break down, stay tuned I got some more stuff coming, I’m on a Harlem kick right now
@@markwilletts1252Looking forward to the next episode. Thanks for the quick reply Mark.
Bro….Please, keep these coming! Subscribing now.
Imma try and make one every 2 weeks thanks for the support
This is good, couple things like Maranzano and the castalamares became the Bonnanos not the Luchesses, also black tar wasn’t invented until the late 70s it wasn’t around in the 40s. Happy Meltzer was sourcing Brown Mexican powder, which you’re correct up until today the Mexicans haven’t been able to produce H over 50% purity. Keep up the good work
Thanks man it gets confusing but all I meant was the gap was a body guard for maranzano AND an early member of the lucchese not that Maranzano was a lucchese… but if u liked this wait till u see my next one you’re gonna really love it!!
Its easier and faster and cheaper not to do the entire process to convert heroin into China white, this is why its not done as much in Mexico. As to purity you are incorrect if you are talking the 1960s when I was on the scene. Mexican Black Tar has been around way much longer, just not in the United States. It became more popular here during the panic of 1972. I lived in the 60s, 70s and 80s in Spanish Harlem in NYC and in the Tenderloin in San Francisco, where in the first China White was the norm as was Mexican Tar at the other.
@@yarini-1 No sir, but thanks for proving my point BTH came around in the 70s, before that it was brown powder from Mexico, they didn’t and still don’t have the right poppy or recipe to produce high quality acetylization if ur referring to purity of bth , its not possible for the conversion to reach more than 50% purity do the research online the DEA already has, but from exp I can tell you it still hits really hard! If you’re referring to east coast powder, that comes from Colombia and again from experience and the DEA signature pro I can tell you was 60-90 pure until 04 when the Mexican traffickers took over after the FARC made peace, the levels dropped again since production moved to Mexico. If you’re going to correct me do it correctly, I know my shxt, from ALL aspects of this. Although I’ve been clean for years.
@@markwilletts1252 ahh, gotcha 👍🏽
@@rick_4760 I’m trying brother I’m trying
Great job bro. I subscribed
Why thank u sir
Good Job..
What a crazy case!!
Many thanks. Great topic and good video.
In 1954 my uncle got deported because of that s***. As an ounce to a pound heroin dealer he was a minor player, but got caught in the web. its easier and faster and cheaper not to do the entire process to convert heroin into China white, this is why its rarely done in Mexico. Mexican Black Tar has been around a long time, just not in the United States. It became more popular here during the panic of 1972. I lived in the 60s, 70s and 80s in Spanish Harlem in NYC and in the Tenderloin in San Francisco, where in the first China White was the norm as was Mexican Tar at the other.
Dang who got ur uncle deported, D the gap??
Well, in all honesty in a way he deported himself.
He was given 10 years. After 3 years in Sing-Sing his attorney made a motion by which he would agree to be deported or continue his sentence. He chose freedom.@@markwilletts1252
Good job. Ormento is a name you do not hear everyday that was very powerful
Yea he was extremely powerful, such an interesting, mysterious figure
I heard an interview with comedian Billy Crystal one time and when he was a kid, either his dad rear ended someone or someone rear ended him in the neighborhood and the someone was Big John Ormento.
Correction. Louis Dragna was jack Dragnas nephew not his brother.
Gosh darnit ur absolutely right! Oops my bad
@@markwilletts1252 the law always treated Louis Dragna with kid gloves. I think he had a lot of California law enforcement in his pocket. He had a long rap sheet but almost no prison time.
Very very good breakdown of the subject, one of the best ive ever seen,was one of the corcican family's called,sorry i can't spell the name properly, franchise, franchise if he is still alive has actually been the real godfather of paris for a long long time, he they had to whack an Algerian Jewish family who thought they ran paris for over twenty years,,i will tell you the ins and outs of that another time, they own the casino on the champs Elysées
I believe ur correct with the name but I’m not sure on the spelling! Thanks for watching!
Great content and is very informative. I hope you do something similar of the life of Charles Lucky Luciano
I’m going deep on East Harlem for a minute but I’ll definitely take requests let me know what would interest u and I’ll try!
Colie deptrio and carmine galante got the highest bail
Yea they did!!
Yes and they all lost their bail after all those insane stunts they tried to pull, I can’t even imagine being the judge in that case!
@rubytuesday5446. Ciao from Bagheria Sicilia. How ya doin? He thought he was going to be Il Capo di tutti Capi. Dio Benedico.
1:22 Instantly subbed
JEWS. YES. ALSO PROHIBITION.
Oh absolutely
Name after name where is the story. See yaa wiil watch something else.
Good job I have to say. The impact of the misguided "War On Drugs!" (Or rather "War! On drugs!"...) cannot be swept under the rug nor justified at the level of expense for the job-security of a massive force of ideologues.
Trust me as a recovering addict myself I’ve also seen how pointless this ‘war on drugs’ is and what it’s real agenda is! Thanks for watching
But blacks! But Mexicans!
Definitely have their place!! Just focusing on Italians
