The Mafia Are AMATEURS!!!

The Mafia are/were amateurs. Cheap street punks. We got to watch how it's done by the professionals yesterday.
Donald Trump was unpolitic, undiplomatic, and his usual shoot-from-the-ass-before-thinking self when he took on the drug industry. Was he wrong? In strategy, style, and within the dictates of his own party, yes.
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe part of the plan. Probably not. Just a serendipitous patsy falling into line.

But the response was pure "Mega-"Cosa Nostra. The industry stock as a group, in unison, in moments, fell precipitously. Probably over one hundred BILLION dollars in stock value disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sell orders went out to all the brokerage houses, and the stock fell that much, that quickly, BUT NO MORE....

Not only did the Pharma industry send a message, a threat, a million times more powerful than any fish wrapped in newspaper, but they (and their "soldiers" on Wall Street) got to raid every retirement account in the country of paper assets (stock in the various companies).

The APPEARANCE was that hundreds of billions of dollars disappeared. The reality is that it was stolen in the typical stock market flim-flam. Those shares left everyone's accounts to be scooped up for an outrageous and sudden discount by the insiders who created the fall, and, of course, their operatives on Wall Street. Seconds. Just seconds. And hundred of billions of dollars in wealth.

And we all got the frightening message INSTANTLY. We've been told who not to fuck with.

A small hint of how the greatest theft of wealth in the history of mankind is happening right under our noses, in plain sight, like all great scams do. A small instance of how we got to this point of such a disparity of wealth and power in this country.

Don Vito Corleone could never dream of the kind of power and scheming we're witnessing right now. And it's all "legit".
