You'll hear about his life, rise to power, how he became a dictator and then the awful things that happened to his enemies when he became a full-fledged dictator while holding the Philippines under martial law. It's a wild one today on World on Drugs. GUEST Filipino American, Andrew Orolfo has been named one of the country's "top knot" comedians by... don't even ask, just go with it.

This episode of World of Drugs talks about suicide a great deal and utilizes journalism articles and opinions to discuss whether or not the suicides were authentic or carried out by covert forces in Russian politics under the direction of Vladimir Putin. This is not meant to diminish victims of suicide, families who have had a loved one commit suicide, or those who experience suicidal ideation in their daily lives. It is meant to demonstrate that learning about the issues with drug dealers, political leaders, and cartels across the world is important and something that should be paid attention to because it can reveal a plethora of problems that people are dealing with on a daily basis. – dr joe Synopsis: Today on World on Drugs I'll be talking with my guest about Vladimir Putin and how most Russian Oligarchs that have challenged him publicly or privately have died by murder suicide. Always an interesting choice of death when you're incredibly rich and don't have any problems besides the Russian government being uncomfortable with the amount of power you hold over a private industry. This episode of World on Drugs will show you that you don't fuck with Putin and that money protects no one when a government is run like a mafia without any consequences.

EP STARTS AT 35 MINS Another BANGER from Dr. Joe Hoffswell. This is about the new number 2 cartel in Mexico that started in 2009. The Jalisco New Generation Cartel has quickly risen to number 2 status and is in a constant war with the Sinaloa cartel that was formerly run by El Chapo. This group has made a name for themselves with brutal violence and strict territory control. IF they want a territory, they will take it by force and they do not care if they are removing a rival cartel or a small rural community. They use violence for control and were responsible for multiple massacres throughout Mexico. Today I'll talk about the most violent things they have done as a group.

* EP STARTS AT MIN 11 The Xalisco Boys are a group of business minded heroin peddlers from the town of Xalisco in the state of Nayarit. Not so much a cartel as a business strategy, the Xalisco Boys pioneered a new method of profiting in the drug trafficking world: delivery. In what is perhaps the darkest form of laissez faire, by acting as both the source and the mobile storefront the Xalisco Boys were able to quickly expand across America, using basic marketing strategies to become what many addicts have called “the best dealers they'd ever seen.” Unfortunately, their rise also coincided with the beginning of the opioid epidemic, and what resulted was a dangerous self-replicating style of retail drug trafficking, operating on a national scale from an individual level.

EPISODE STARTS AT 26 mins Growing up in Sacramento, CA, Marcus ‘Big Herc' Timmons was a straight-A student and talented athlete before he took a wrong turn into gang life, drug dealing and violence. He spent most of his teens incarcerated the California Youth Authority juvenile detention system and before he went to prison for bank robbery, he worked as a performer in the adult industry. Today, Big Herc, is one of the fastest rising stars on YouTube. He spent nine years in the federal penitentiary for bank robbery, underwent a deep transformation during his time inside and came out the other side to thrive and empower others to choose a different path. He's best known as the co-creator and host of the wildly popular YouTube series Fresh Out: Life After the Penitentiary and a number of spinoff shows including Prison Talk. He's also a motivational speaker, author, executive coach and an entrepreneur who has started multiple businesses. If you haven't checked out Fresh Out or Prison Talk, let me just tell you that it's some of the rawest, deepest and most compelling content you're ever going to watch with insights into human nature and life lessons that people from all walks of life can learn from. Big Herc's mission is to help educate the world about the horrors of prison life and educate those headed inside so they can survive and get out alive. But most importantly, he wants to strip away the glamor associated with the criminal life on the street to help people on that path stop before they end up making the mistakes that he did. His content is amazing, his persona is magnetic and with his partners he's expanding his empire into multiple YouTube series, the supplement business, coaching and much more.

Eugene “Bull” Hairston and Jeff “Prince” Fort ran the Woodlawn neighborhood. However, multiple jail stints brought the Stones to the attention of the world when Fort converted to Islam and began discussing a plan to destabilize the US government through domestic terrorism with Libyan dictator Gaddafi.

EPISODE STARTS AT AROUND 10 mins We're covering another hitman who had a decent hit list, but you probably did not know was lurking around. Today I'll be talking about Wayne “Silk” Perry, one of the most dangerous gangsters and hit men to walk the streets of Washington, D.C. He's been called the Michael Jordan of the murder game and was the primary hit man for Alberto “Alpo” Martinez. This episode is an absolute BANGER! GUEST Known in Colombia as "Yamel Yohnson," Jamel Johnson is a stand-up comedian from Woodbridge, Virginia. He is best known for his recurring role as Rowdy Boudy on the hit MTV series "Undressed." He burst onto the scene while creating the television show "Roc." Years later he successfully won a lawsuit against Jay Z for the name "Roc Nation." He took his earnings and started the Lugz Racing Team and the Lugz Racing Foundation which helps in the fight against Wade Boggs' Disease. One of these sentences is true. Jamel made a name for himself on the D.C. comedy scene through a hard-to-hate mixture of non-threatening yelling, weird stories and impressively specific but not alienating sports and music references. His comedy smoothly walks audiences through everything from casual racism to Law & Order: SVU, including the consequences of gentrification and if you can eat a pastry given to you by a maybe-maybe-not drug addict who happened to witness a murder last night. Jamel lives for the laugh from the one dude in the back of the room who also watches too much SportsCenter. After making his television debut in 2016 on Kevin Hart Presents: Hart of the City, Jamel now performs regularly at several elite coastal and inland comedy establishments all across America. He also thanks you for reading this whole bio. It was very sweet of you to do so.

The Zindashti Cartel has been trafficking heroin across the Middle East and Europe with few consequences since the mid-1990s. Over the last 26 years Naji Sahrifi Zindashti has been heavily involved with the Middle Eastern heroin trade based on of Istanbul, Turkey.

Today in part 1 you'll hear about the origins of the Kinahan Cartel, how Daniel got his start in crime, how Daniel became involved in organized fighting, and about the start of Hutch-Kinahan feud.

*ep starts at 24 mins It seems like every day a new skeleton falls out of the closets of Hollywood, but rarely does news break of something as high profile as that of Charles Voyde Harrelson, father of Woody and Brett Harrelson. Charles Harrelson was a hitman, a card shark, a womanizer, and maybe just maybe associated with the murder of JFK. He was convicted of two murders, Texas Rangers believe he killed dozens more, but one of those happened to be Federal Judge Joe Wood. The investigation that followed ranks second all time in total expenditure, only behind the JFK assassination, but in retrospect the case had more holes than swiss cheese. This is the story of a Texas outlaw, of the rise of gambling, of the mob, hypnosis, the Cubans, and one of the biggest stories never told. This is the story of Charles Voyde Harrelson. Guest Liza was seen most recently in the Judd Apatow movie The King Of Staten Island and is currently the host of That's Messed Up: An SVU Podcast on Exactly Right Media. She has a half hour Special and album Glittercheese with Comedy Central and a half hour special on Netflix as past of The Degenerates.

*ep starts at 30 mins Buried within the many stories that exist about Pablo Escobar, there exist two men that took what he started and ran with it in the worst way imaginable. Carlos “Macaco” Jiminez and Guillermo Giraldo aka “Memo Fantasma” aka “Will the Ghost” were some of the highest ranking officials in the right-wing paramilitary organization known as United Self Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC for short). Imagine the worst stories you've heard about crimes committed by any cartel anywhere, and the AUC has done it or something worse. They terrorized Colombia for nearly a decade, fighting both the left-wing guerrillas and anyone who they considered remotely connected to them, and in their wake there rose the largest and most successful drug trafficking empire in the world. The AUC is the best example of what a “narco-state” looks like, and sitting at the top are Macaco and Memo Fantasma.

*ep starts at 18 mins The Serbian mafia has its origins in the arrival of increasing numbers of Yugoslavian immigrants to Western Europe in the 1970's and 1980s. Operating in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and France, groups of Serbian expatriates engaged in a pattern of robberies and thefts. Much of this was supported by the communist Yugoslavian intelligence service, who employed gangsters overseas as informants and assassins, and in exchange provided them with firearms and legal protection. The combination of Yugoslavian government support and the money earned from brazen heists, made Yugoslavian criminals some of the most powerful in Western Europe in the 1980s. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and its allies in Eastern and Southern Europe, many Serbian criminals overseas returned to Yugoslavia, taking advantage of the chaos to embark on new criminal careers. Many served in paramilitary and militia organisations created ostensibly to protect ethnic Serbs and government property, but quickly they became known for criminal activity and their role in the ethnic cleansing of Bosnians, Croats and Slovenes from Serb territories. With the end of the Yugoslav wars, these militias became entwined with the criminal “clans” of Serbia, with both enjoying the support of the former communist intelligence and security forces. With the overthrow of Slobodon Milosovic, a period of reform was ushered in. In response, the most violent and powerful Serbian crime group - the Zemun Clan - partnered with Serbian special forces to assassinate the Prime Minister, in order to protect the status and privilege that they are garnered during the bloodshed of the 1990s Guest is Dave Williamson @davewcomedy Spaic, Igor.

*ep starts at 23:45 Today I'm going to talk about the Motor City Hitman-Chester Wheeler Campbell. One of the best assassins to work for the Mafia and Detroit Criminal Underground. He got a taste for murder in his mid-20s and decided to turn it into a career. He was so efficient that he was never directly tied to a murder once he became a full time hit man and enforcer. He was found with notebooks containing over 300 different names of potential targets, and 50 of those 300 were people who were missing or found dead. Today, I'll talk about his early life, his early crime days, his prime assassin time, and how the authorities finally put him away for life.

EP STARTS AT MIN 33* Fentanyl is a powerful, rapid-acting synthetic opioid first synthesized more than 50 years ago. At the time, and to this day, it has served as an invaluable resource for medicine. It is the opioid most commonly used to initialize anesthesia worldwide, and for good reason. When used correctly, it has minimal cardiovascular effects, does not stress the body, is relatively short acting, is easy and inexpensive to synthesize, and is now familiar to clinicians working in operative medicine all over the planet. In the last 20 to 30 years, the development of new and noninvasive drug delivery systems has also enabled fentanyl to become extremely effective for both around-the-clock pain management as well as treating sudden breakthrough pain. Unfortunately, if you've heard of fentanyl recently it was most likely related to some form of drug overdose. While the drug itself has revolutionized medicine, its abuse in conjunction with the nationwide opioid epidemic has led to a remarkable increase in drug-related overdoses and deaths. No guest this week, this shit we ride on our own folks.

They are almost single-handedly responsible for creating the environment surrounding cybercrime today, and this brainchild of Maxim Yakubets and Igor Turashev has collected hundreds of millions of dollars from its victims.

*ep starts around 26 mins The fall of communism in 1989 has shaken the entire Central and Eastern Europe. The transformation to a capitalist system was rapid, wild, and chaotic. Still, it created an excellent opportunity for ordinary folks who just wanted to make quick money… and criminals who needed to adjust to a new reality. Seemingly innocent car thieves banded up and within just a few years expanded their criminal portfolio. A hunger for money, power, and influence pushed them to do more sinister things like contract killings. The inexperienced, understaffed, and underfunded police force werent able to keep up the pace. And even if they somehow managed to destroy one gang, more unpredictable ones came to existence, like a hydra head. This is the story of the infamous Pruszkow gang in the 90s and Gang of Mutants in the early 00s. Bombings, cold-blooded assassinations, and big money. Not only uneducated thugs but also medical doctors and paramedics who were hunting for “skins”. Welcome to the crazy world of Polish Underworld. my guest this week is comedian and good friend Monarey Martinez @Monareym and The Shamic Podcast --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
*ep starts around 23 mins Poland under the communist regime was a weird place where a line between underworld and law enforcement wasn't really existing. People were illegally “dealing dollars” like drugs on the streets. The economic situation was so dire that smuggling from the West became a new normal. Many sought opportunities in stealing foreign cars what turned groups of friends into real, organized gangs. All of it under a blind eye of the government and police. It's not surprising, though, because Ministry of Interior was heavily involved in crime as well. Polish Intelligence Agency was funding its own operations by forcing Polish petty criminals living in the West to do robberies and heists and smuggle stolen goods to Poland. And these goods often were stolen again, and again by administration, officers and even well-known politicians. Those stories help to better understand what came next, in 90s, during one of the craziest and fastest world's economic transformations from communism to capitalism. “Wild West” of Europe, with its own Yuma. no guests this week, solo dolo yall!
*ep starst at 36 mins Among the 20,000+ gangs that operate across America, few are as silently powerful as Armenian Power. Also known as AP or AP-13, Armenian Power is based primarily out of Los Angeles and has deep ties to the Mexican Mafia as well as international ties that stretch to Russia and the post-soviet bloc. They are a ruthless, ethnically-cannibalizing organization that is willing to do anything to anyone to generate a profit, and their crimes range from simple extortion all the way to multinational identity theft and medicare fraud. comedian @mark_smalls is the guest!

* starts at min 16 this is the first ep we have a guest telling ME whats going on with the story. A nice change :) Known for running one of the largest black market grow operations in U.S. history, the Cornbread Mafia has become a mythic crew within cannabis culture and the legacy of prohibition. early homegrown pot farmers were a ragtag collection of hippies, Vietnam vets, criminals, stoners, and businessmen; they got the “mafia” moniker due to their outlaw spirit rather than Italian tradition. They were a rebel syndicate, of sorts, and referred to marijuana as “cornbread” to throw off authorities. This is their story. with guest Jim Higdon (@jimhigdon). Jim wrote the literal book on the Corn Bread Mafia (available on amazon) and now runs a cbd company called @cornbreadhemp (on IG) and cornbreadhemp.com. So if you wanna take a literally chill pill, and listen to this banger, head on over to Cornbreadhemp.com and get you some CBD BABY! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
*ep starts at 30 mins This is the story of Naser Kelmendi and the Albanian Mob. Because of Yugoslavia , Albania has had more than enough opportunity to stick its toes into the field of organized crime, and the local mob has done that in more ways than one. Capitalizing on tumultuous grounds, in the last 30 years Albania and the mobs within have shifted from being grunts for larger, well-established mobs to front-manning one of the largest organized crime syndicates in Western Europe and acting as mules for around 80% of the heroin trafficked throughout the area. Naser Kelmendi epitomizes what these mobs can produce. Before his sentencing in 2018 he was the head of the largest heroin smuggling operation in Western Europe, and he and his three sons are known for buying 10 cars a year, owning more real estate than a family can manage, and loan sharking with interest rates over 10% per month. As he's currently sitting pretty in jail, we feel safe enough saying that the Kelmendi clan is one of the most dangerous crime families in the world today.

So come join me, Steve Furey and my funny friends to learn about some of the people who stay in the shadows. From Last Comic Standing, Hbo Max, and JFL Francisco Ramos @framoscomedy and Researcher Patryk Grazewicz Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) was created in early 90s by a small group of envy-seeking prisoners who were disturbed by massacre of their friends in Canrandiru prison. One step at time, they were slowly building one of the biggest and most sophisticated prison empires in the world. Directed by a charismatic, ambitious leader and influenced by left-wing politics and ideas, they achieved corporation-level type of management with its own independent departments, laws, unions and courts. They are able to co-ordinate actions not only inside one prison, but all over the country and beyond. In the cells, and on the streets. Their business contacts stretch as far as Mozambique and Lebanon. Their power and influence grew so big that PCC had even influenced presidential election results and conducted spectacular, military-type operations abroad. And there is no end in sight, officials are feeling hopeless and desperate as PCC's membership surges. On one hand violence, terrorism and drugs. On the other hand guaranteed social security, sophisticated heists and political activism.

A businessman with a penchant for losing money in Vegas ($125 million by some records), Ye Gon imported over 80 tons of methamphetamine precursor chemicals behind the facade of pharmaceutical company UNIMED before his operation earned him a search warrant, that yielded over $200 million in hundred dollar bills. Some say the cash comes from illegal campaign funds, some say he's got ties to the Sinaloa Cartel, either way since his arrest in 2007 nobody has been convicted of any crime, so take it all with a grain of salt.
