Q: Why do the Albanians and Chechenyans rely so much on drugs?
A: What else can they rely on, honestly? They're both Muslim and most of the world's heroin is grown in Afghanistan. Muslim networks are stateless and indifferent to race. They're perfect. Their language is unique, they multiply like maggots(they were telling Tito back in the 60's that they'll defeat us with their dicks and that's what's happening lol), and their culture fits it. Their geographical position fits it. They have taken advantage of the Kosovo war and en masse as refugees and whatnot migrated to Western Europe and the states entrenched themselves all around. Bin Laden was said to have visited Albania, and Islamic associations and Wahhabist organizations are opening up all over the Balkans....even if there was a historical Turkish graveyard there they'll build a mansion and fill it with "priests in training"...that drive black Mercedes and Audi's, right? Claim they're Turkish, yet have Albanian license plates, like one in my neighborhood in Stip. The Americans back them, so they can traffic all the drugs they want. They're terrorists, militants, trafficking drugs requires as much muscle as it does brain. When have you heard of Albanians doing fraud? What business would they have there if they have direct links to Middle Eastern drug cartels through these Islamic networks? There's no infrastructure in Albania, in Kosovo, in Chechenya.. I haven't been to Chechenya but I've been to Albania and Kosovo, and both are shitter, the latter more than the former lol.. It feels wild. There's no cafes or nightclubs or bars or bistros on every corner like in Skopje, Belgrade or Sofia.. It feels miserable. That should scare you - it's a mafia organization with muslim discipline.
Q: ,what makes you think being heavy in that business makes them a force
A: Because having these Islamic connections they can dictate the rules with more immunity than any other group. It just fits in better. I know of Albanian hospitality towards Macedonian Muslims, the generosity, while towards Macedonian Christians it's just tensions, provocations and blood lust. It's a different culture, a different mentality. They understand eachother, so the Serbs and Bulgarians feel like outcasts and have to rely on the Albanians. Unfortunately for the Albanians, the Russians are a force to be reckoned with - They have the money, resources and manpower to rival a large, modern military force lol.. They have their hands everywhere - where you would least find them - from Washington's high class clubs with their phantom of the opera masks to the jungles of Argentina and the slums of Bangkok.. Simply because they can. The Albanians are backed by the Americans and the CIA. That's more than enough. If I was backed by the American government and the CIA and given manpower, funding and logistics, I'd be the new badass on the block too, mind you. The Albanians have always been a bloodthirsty, primitive tribe that nobody wanted to have anything to do with and were always considered second class citizens in the eyes of other Balkan states - slightly better than Gypsies. Somewhere along the way, I think the Americans noticed this opportunity and seized it.
Q: especially considering the fact that these Serbian, Macedonian,Croatian,and Albanian groups have to concede a large bulk of their revenue to their Russian overseers?
A: The Albanians don't cause this to happen. The Albanians are only in the game for two main reasons: 1) the Americans and 2) their historical involvement with thuggery of all sorts. This makes them ideal. They're like an Assassin's Creed type group, nobody cared about them enough to figure anything out because there's nothing to figure out if something is primitive and stupid and you're so advanced and of higher consciousness, right? They didn't play their cards right or anything, it just happened to end up this way - it just a situational thing... One thing led to another, Americans came in and all of a sudden Enver the goat herder has a mansion and BMW X6. The Russians wanted to take everything over and if they can take over whatever the Albanians have - they would - believe me. But I sense somewhere in the backstage there's a deal between the Americans, the Russians and somebody else. A situation like this does not go unnoticed for long - and when it does - there's nothing you can do about it. I'm not even sure of certain elements in Washington that have authority to terminate any activities like that conducted without their permission are aware of what's going on...or maybe they are? Who knows? What's it change even the situation becomes public? The level of disclosure and then denial will probably be on the same level as extraterrestrials. As far as revenue, it's not even their revenue. The Balkan groups should be lucky to have the Russians' aid. The Russians are like gods when it comes to Balkan OC groups. Balkan OC structures are modeled heavily after the Russians'. There's a group of 7 Georgians in Bulgaria with 400 million USD stashed somewhere in Bulgaria. That's 7 people who stand in the shadows at all times and only appear when their interests and allies are threatened; interests first, allies second. If the Russians didn't come during the 90's, Balkan OC would still be at an 1980s level lol.. aka Nigerian email scams. We would have advanced, yes, but it would've taken 50 years instead of 20 to get to where we are.
Q: Balkan groups more than likely supply a lot of women to these Russian OCs for trafficking I suspect
A: But think about it, where do these women come from? I highly doubt that the majority of these women come from Balkan countries...maybe several tens of thousands at most, and probably most of them from Romania and Bulgaria(because they have the bulk of stupid whores who can be easily controlled). I guess so... or maybe not, who knows.. Russia is a big country. They can traffic in a month what we can in a year if they wanted to... I think Balkan OC groups only kidnap village girls locally...you know, the factory worker in America types that only go to work then go home to sleep, that have no public life whatsoever, that are known by nobody, kept inside the house all their lives, ignorant to the good and evil in the world and when evil comes, they naively succumb. If they were more informed like city girls from wealthier families(who pride themselves especially of their knowledge about the world), they would be a little fucking harder to lure or kidnap now wouldn't they? Not to mention they would be highly socialized and would have guy friends to protect them from a hook nosed gargamel looking fellow with a cape..
Q: do they also provide security to these Russian mobsters in local operations?
A: What do you mean? The Russians don't operate on the ground, they just sit behind the scenes. If the Russians do decide to make a deal, beginning of Vice City style, then yeah sure there would be men with machine guns all over the place...but if the Russians stand in the shadows, then they can also bring their own security, their own men, whom they trust more than a bunch of Bosnian war veterans/soccer fanatics. But yeah when that happens, it's usually a very diverse type of thing, very modern. You can feel the excitement of all groups coming to work together really grind in. That's one thing I've noticed wherever I go - just like people of one ethnicity can notice eachother wherever they go while other people can't notice them as much - or like trannies notice eachother - or how black people give eachother separate looks than they gave to us white people - an "our thing" type of thing, gangsters can notice eachother. To a normal person, especially in America/Canada, you can look like a douchebag, an outcast, they'll assume and catagorize you with whatever losers that comes to mind just like they do with eachother, but to a gangster he'll know you're one and you'll know he's one - cops will too but they won't bother you as much because they know OC types don't get into trouble much like street gang members but when they do it's a reason for panic because it can get messy - and they'd rather get the FBI or RCMP to handle you. So...they have their own thing, their own atmosphere. Sometimes they grind on eachother when it comes to masculinity, alpha male BS, and this creates tension. Don't bring village people like this to important meetings.
Q: How do Serbians measure up on the playing field of OCs?
A: They're big in Western Europe, but they were bigger in the 90's during the wars when refugees were flocking there. When they caused trouble over there, warred with Turks, warred with Kurds, warred with local groups, the governments started deporting more and more, and putting black stamps on their passports more often... So Western Europeans are informed about what we're capable of. Americans and Canadians learned from what the Western Europeans suffered - so the governments of the US and Canada are keeping a big file on people from the Balkans, OC, mafia mentality, what happened in Western Europe and are trying not to repeat Germany, the UK, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden's mistakes.. In the end, normal educated people from the Balkans who want to immigrate suffer the concequences. This is why it's easier for an entire Afghan tribe to immigrate to Canada than it is for a Macedonian or Serb to sponsor a brother or sister to come here. Stack up against the Russians? Maybe on the streets...but not in the board room. Serbs copied the Russians in the 90's, it was just a bunch of brainless punks who had too much to prove. It's different now.. Locally, they stack up against Mexican cartels. Just two years ago I remember reading about a 2 ton cocaine seizure in Montenegro coming from South America that was supposed to go to a Serbian drug dealer and the resulting police operation that had over 900 mafia members arrested across Serbia. That's just a tiny droplet in an entire ocean of operations that have happened over the years. Now imagine all the ones that didn't get caught?
Q: I came across some news some time ago that a Bulgarian kingpin was almost assassinated outside of a court? Do you know anything about this?
A: If you're a high profile boss who goes around shooting stuff up like a cowboy and attracting media attention, that's bound to happen sooner or later. It's actually strange if it doesn't. If you're a low profile boss and know your shit, you'll end up a powerful local businessman and get proclaimed an arch-saint or something like the Bulgarian Orthodox Church did with Petar Mandjoukov in Plovdiv. He's the Barret though, he's still alive. They wanted to kill him all right, sniper shot him multiple times. If a sniper is willing to reveal his position, you know he's determined. That's all I'm going to say about this situation.
Q: Is there any group able to keep up and be a contender to the Russian mobster.
A: Not yet. There's an unwritten mathematical rule in Marxism that says: Quality creates quantity creates quality. The Gambino crime family makes 10x more money than the Gangster Disciples street gang of Chicago, yet has 30x more people to do the job. Create quality - and all you have to do is repeat - you get quantity and quality and it becomes easier every time you repeat. It's a basic rule in Capitalism, in Corporatism, in our everyday lives here in North America, when we work all we do is repeat a certain set of things. Collages and universities have surrounded their material around that logic and workers' systems here have perfected it - and the end result is a population with a significantly larger part of the brain that plays a role in mechanical/automatic movement. The Russians played with these mechanics because they have the opportunity to - Moscow, a city of 20 million people, tens of thousands of other gangsters spring up at once, shootings, killings, bombings, so much competition, so much practice, you have Brigada TV series style poor kids who go from rags to riches and then there's ex KGB bosses who decided to use the state's resources while they could. What did we have? In the early 90's Macedonia had a handful of gangsters - not bosses - but gangsters whom you could count on your fingers, who have always been known to everyone and they didn't bother anybody - as a matter of fact they were outcasts who used to run away from home while all the rich kids of the Communist bosses got the best grades in class - especially to the elitests who saw them as nothing more than slime. But things changed. Now you can't get a job in a company that's not owned by them. They own everything and they have cult like followers who are willing to kill from them to prove themselves worthy - even if the bosses don't even know who they are or even care - just so their families would have something to eat. Now you don't know who's involved in what. The list of names just from one town or city could fill up an entire book - the list of crimes - the entire Library of Congress lol.. I've seen 16 year old kids of gangsters being made nightclub managers and given resources to decorate the club, bring strippers in, money to gamble with and their debts wiped away the second they're made - hell there was a nightclub and right across it a sports betting place, and they would go from the club to the sports betting place and gamble money, make some, lose some, in the end it's all money laundering - until the police raided the club multiple times - not for drugs or any type of financial crimes but for too many fights.. One police commander even had a beer bottle thrown in his face by one of these 16 year olds.. So the owner of the building complex decided to shut it down and replace it with a casino - an even better money laundering system - and what's coincidential is that dozens of casinos sprang up as soon as a local university decided to flood it's classrooms with thousands of Turkish students - most of whom come through these Islamic associations. They spent more money at those casinos in a day at the roulette tables than I've spent on the best nights in my life.
Q: Sidebar: I think the loose network and the decentralization of these Eastern European OCs makes these groups more pliable and able to withstand all the threats OCs are eroded and decimated by
A: Exactly. You don't answer to anybody and nobody tries to play the boss of everyone. In the Balkans, there's alot of competition amongst regular people let alone gangsters. If you try to play alpha male, I guarantee you somebody bigger, badder, smarter and richer will come along and fuck you up. You can feel it in the air. And they've perfected the art of playing the alpha male douchebag so instead of outfighting you - which nobody on the face of this planet outside of the Balkans can ever win anyways - they'll just outsmart you and embarrass you in public. The methods, I won't go into detail lol.. They use verbal judo alot though.. They'll use their words to confuse you for a couple days and when you finally get it you'll feel like shit for an entire year after that..
Q: These Russian OCs retain hegemony by an oligarchical structure over the lesser criminal groups,am I wrong or would you agree?
A: Yes and no.. Russia's OC world is huge.. A street boss that owns some nightclubs and restaurants and has a couple hundred men under his control would dare not go against an aluminium billionaire for example - especially if they are of the same age - it's either circumstances but in most cases the billionaire proved himself capable to be where he stands now.. Balkan OC is more simple than you think.. There's no "central" anymore.. It's just who can make the most money and have the most loyal men around him and put his money and men to work the best... It's about brain power, not just brawn. You still need to have alot of heart but by the time you get to where you are with your money and power - you would've seen so much fucked up shit that you would be conditioned into having nerves of steel, a soulless body. The sight of death, the sting of combat will be normal for you and normal people will look like pathetic weaklings. Killing your first person might've shaken you up a bit, but now it's mechanical as anything else and you can't be bothered anymore to do it yourself. Your mind(given that it functions properly lol) will be a compendium of master level street knowledge that has made you more thick skinned than a crocodile.
Or in simpler terms no - Russia is too big for OC bosses to control everything. Putin and his gangster buddies have nothing or want nothing to do with a Chechen drug boss that owns a Moscow nightclub. They operate completely seperate from eachother and their actions DO NOT effect one another unless it's intended to. It's like living in the big city. To small town folk, it seems as if big city folk are crude, they ignore you like you're nothing - but in reality they're used to passing so many random people everyday that the next person being passed has become a mechanical, unconscious reaction.. It's like trying to convince a clerk at a government office to process your application faster - even if he/she wants you, they can't because it's not up to them how it's processed, they just collect the paperwork, several other layers of people do the work - and in the end your application just gets swallowed into the sea of lifeless, mechanical, equal beaurocracy that runs Western countries.
In the Balkans, the countries are smaller and thus the administration is smaller and easier to infiltrate and corrupt - so it would be more centralized...except gangsters are given more freedom...they just don't belong to any organization. There's no "mafia", there's no "name" of an organization, everything and everybody is generic - they're just gangsters that work for and with eachother yet everybody knows who runs the drugs, the guns, the girls, the cars, and if they get to run it in a pool of so many capable sharks - they must have backup. That's the logic behind it. People have tested this logic and it's proven fatal, time and time again(because where were you you punk when that boss was dealing with the Russians type thing). Low profile bosses don't even need bodyguards, their reputation precedes them.
