mafiocracy
by Matt Webster (mza@disinfo.net) - November 09, 2000

The shadowy character of organized crime has already shifted into a phase that might be unrecognizable to a society saturated with sensational ethnic stereotypes and romances about gangsters and mafiosi. The new global world economy, and the technology that serves as its vehicle, provide previously unimaginable opportunities for fraud, money laundering, and other forms of wrongdoing. As political realities change, those seeking to profit from power have also adjusted their methods.

In Soviet Russia, the manager of a factory was of course not entitled to any profits from the business, but enjoyed special privileged status and compensation not accessible to his comrades on the assembly line. Today, the situation is similar, except that instead of turning his factory's profits over to the the state, the manager must now give them to the mob, who will decide for him how much he gets to keep. Experts now fear an international consolidation of this kind of "mafiocracy", superseding government authority to create a "new monolithic threat" jeopardizing the globe.

As you read this, in far-flung secret locations all over the earth, there are darkened rooms filled with persons of ill intent, plotting to control others and manipulate the destiny of humanity. The disinformation campaigns, conspiracies, and the possiblity of world destruction are all absolutely real, but they're (probably) not being implemented by the Masons. Criminal capitalism is poised to construct its own version of a New World Order.

Mighty Whitey and the Winter Hill Gang raped and pillaged the Boston crime scene for thirty years. After all, being an FBI informant carries certain privileges. Now the Feds have had a change of heart, and the seventy year-old gangster has found himself on their "Ten Most Wanted" list. Whitey's considered a Robin Hood figure in Southie, the working class Irish neighborhood that he once called home; for years, despite his official fugitive status, he made regular visits back to the old town, and nobody even considered dropping a dime for the $25,000 reward.
