Ever wondered about the real story behind a bottle of tequila? It's not just about agave and distilling; it's a dramatic saga of revolution, political betrayal, and intense family rivalries. In this episode, we're joined by author Ted Genoways to uncover the incredible history of Jose Cuervo, a story that is far more turbulent and cinematic than you can imagine. We'll explore how one man's ambition to build a business empire became entangled in a bloody struggle for the very spirit of Mexico.Join us as we dive deep into the subjects of Ted Genoways' groundbreaking book, "Tequila Wars." Discover how the tequila industry wasn't just a bystander but a central player in Mexico's national conflicts. We explore the bitter Cuervo and Sauza family rivalry, a competition that shaped not only the business but also the political landscape of Jalisco. Learn about the Porfirio Diaz tequila industry connection, where Cuervo's own uncle, Florentino Cuervo, was a key figure in the revolution that brought Diaz to power, only to be betrayed later. This complex saga reveals how these families navigated shifting allegiances and constant violence during the tumultuous era of tequila and the Mexican Revolution. From militia leaders running distilleries to the struggle to build modern infrastructure like railroads amidst national chaos, this conversation uncovers a lost chapter of history.This episode peels back the label to reveal the true story behind one of the world's most famous spirits. We discuss how Jose Cuervo's project to rebuild his family's empire was a narrative of genius and resilience, culminating at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, a pivotal moment that forced the industry to modernize. Yet, just as Cuervo built the infrastructure for a global business, the revolution erupted, forcing distilleries to close and pitting figures like Pancho Villa against American interests right on the distribution lines. The full history of Jose Cuervo is a tale of how a regional spirit survived near-constant warfare to become a national symbol, ironically aided by the era of Prohibition in the United States. Don't miss this fascinating discussion about Ted Genoways Tequila Wars, a story waiting to be told.About Our Guest:Ted Genoways is an acclaimed author and journalist. His book, "Tequila Wars: Jose Cuervo, and the Bloody Struggle for the Spirit of Mexico," is the result of years of deep investigation into a history that many believed was lost forever. Sparked by family stories from his father, a bat biologist who worked in the agave fields of Jalisco, Ted embarked on a journey to uncover the archives and family secrets of the tequila titans, revealing their central role in the shaping of modern Mexico.Timestamps / Chapters:(00:00) The Secret History of Tequila(02:52) The Real "Tequila Wars": More Than Just Business(04:53) From Family Stories to a Historical Epic(12:05) The Cuervo and Sauza Rivalry: A Battle for Tequila's Soul(16:55) The Porfirio Diaz Era: Tequila's Role in National Politics(22:37) Uncovering Lost History: The Challenge of Research(26:59) How Railroads Became Critical for Tequila's Expansion(34:41) Surviving the Mexican Revolution and Pancho Villa(38:59) How the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair Modernized Tequila(44:59) Will "Tequila Wars" Become a Movie or TV Series?

Here's one fun question to ask at a dinner party: What is your favorite conspiracy theory? There's the idea that the CIA killed John F. Kennedy. The moon landing was fake, and 9/11 was an inside job. Covid was designed by the Gates Foundation to control the world—and the Covid vaccine had a microchip. There's the deep state. Chemtrails. QAnon. The Illuminati. Reptilian overlords. Pizzagate—which says that high-ranking Democrats were running a child sex-trafficking ring out of a D.C. pizzeria. That one, Pizzagate, is rivaled only by the idea that there is a group of Satan-worshipping globalists and Hollywood celebrities who traffic children in order to harvest adrenochrome, a chemical which, in this scenario, is extracted from their blood. Why? It's obvious: They inject it in order to stay young. It's easy to joke about these theories. It's much harder to reckon with the fact that many Americans believe them sincerely—and their justification is grounded in the fact that some conspiracy theories turn out to not be theories, but fact. The government was poisoning alcohol during Prohibition. The FBI was illegally spying on civil-rights activists like MLK. The U.S. government did let some few hundred black men with syphilis go untreated to study the effects. And Covid likely came from a lab in Wuhan, China.  The question is how to tolerate and even encourage healthy speculation and investigation? How do we allow for skepticism of received wisdom, which may actually be wrong, without it leading to reptilian Jewish overlords?  In the past few weeks, the speculation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's life and death is a perfect example of this conundrum. It's a story filled with smoke and unanswered questions: How did Epstein get so rich in the first place? Was his wealth connected to his crimes? Was he acting alone? Was there a client list—and if so, who was on it? Why did he get such a sweetheart deal? And on and on. And then things get more far-fetched: Was Epstein's suicide faked? Who could have killed him? Was he connected to foreign intelligence? And my favorite: Was he running a Jewish cabal? To help us understand why conspiracy theories are so compelling—and how we might better engage with those who believe them—is Ross Douthat. Ross Douthat is an opinion columnist at The New York Times and host of the Interesting Times podcast. He has been covering conspiratorial thinking—how to understand it, and what to do about it—for years. In 2020, he wrote: “It's a mistake to believe most conspiracy theories, but it's also a mistake to assume that they bear no relation to reality. Some are just insane emanations or deliberate misinformation. But others exaggerate and misread important trends rather than denying them, or offer implausible explanations for mysteries that nonetheless linger unexplained.” Which we thought perfectly encapsulated the conundrum of handling conspiracy theories today. So today on Honestly, Bari asks Ross: What is the state of conspiracy theories in America? How do we dispel conspiracy theories that are clearly false—without relying on establishment sources the public no longer trusts? And what are the consequences when these theories go unchecked?

This week we're trading bullets for custard pies and gangsters for tap-dancing tweens as we revisit Alan Parker's delightfully eccentric musical comedy Bugsy Malone (1976). It's a film that plays like a Prohibition-era crime saga — if it were directed by Roald Dahl and cast entirely with children.

Spirits of San Francisco: Inside Hotaling & Co with Kevin Aslan Have you tried or heard of Old Potrero Rye? What about Junipero Gin? Surely you've heard of Hirsch American Whiskey, right? If not, Kevin Aslan, head distiller for Hotaling & Co. in San Francisco, is here to re-introduce these under-the-radar giants of American craft whiskey.  Old Potrero, when it first arrived in 1996 (distilled in 1993) was the first fully pot distilled whiskey in America since Prohibition. Add to that, it was 100% malted rye, no exogenous enzymes and no other grains. The brainchild of Fritz Maytag and Bruce Joseph, Old Potrero gave rise to a new generation of craft whiskey and continues to be a sensational product - if you can find it.  Hirsch likely needs no introduction, though I will say Hotaling has turned it on its head. Rather than trying to recreate "The Best Bourbon You'll Never Taste" as Chuck Cowdery has called it, Bruce and now Kevin are using Hirsch as their more experimental line, debuting bourbons, ryes, and American Single Malts. The release I tried - Departure - was 6 years 9 months and had all the ASM and funky barnyard you could want.  When a distillery that grew out of a brewery (Anchor) has 30+ years in craft whiskey, there's a lot to talk about. We cover the history, the products, the thoughts, and the transitions, with an eye to the future of this venerable brand.  Thank you to Kevin for entering the whiskey ring!  _________________________________________________________ If you haven't joined the Patreon community yet, please consider doing so at patreon.com/whiskeyinmyweddingring The Bottle Share Club - the $25/month Patreon level - is SOLD OUT!

During Prohibition, this ruthless group of Jewish-American gangsters ruled Detroit's underworld, controlling liquor smuggling routes, running speakeasies, and even outmuscling Al Capone's Chicago Outfit—at least for a while. Feared by rivals, untouchable by cops, and even suspected in the infamous St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Purple Gang's reign was explosive, chaotic, and ultimately short-lived. This is the wild story of one of the most dangerous and overlooked crime syndicates in American history.Subscribe to our YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/@bangdangnetworkBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/outlaws-gunslingers--4737234/support.

Love in the Lav series. Episode #4 of 4. The late 1920s birthed what would become a defining cultural phenomenon—the "pansy craze"—when LGBTQ+ culture burst into mainstream American entertainment from the late 1920s through the early 1930s. The smoky haze of Prohibition-era speakeasies provided the perfect backdrop for drag queens, called "pansy performers,” to be catapulted into underground stardom, with major cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami serving as epicenters of this unprecedented visibility and acceptance. As illegal liquor flowed freely, patrons witnessed titillating new performances by gender nonconforming entertainers that challenged social conventions. Elaborate gowns and carefully applied makeup caught the dim lights as "pansies" mesmerized audiences with their wit, sensuality, and gender rebellion.

Originally meant to be my 63rd Whiskey Flight podcast, I had no idea what a historical goldmine I was stumbling into when I reached out to Cindy and Andy Sudderth of R.M. Rose Co Distillery. In this conversation, Andy Sudderth shares not only his own family's legacy in distilling, but also what he's learned about the historic RM Rose Distillery. We'll learn about Rufus Rose, a Connecticut Yankee who joined the fight with the Confederacy, the techniques used his in whiskey production, and the challenges faced the company faced with Prohibition. It's a rich history that not only covers Georgia, it seeps into my Lost History of Tennessee Whiskey book's history, as well as the history of a modern Kentucky distillery. Andy's passion for history and distilling shines through as he recounts the rich narrative behind RM Rose and its revival. We'll delve into the intricate world of distillation, exploring various techniques, the historical significance of the RM Rose distillery, and the impact of Prohibition on the whiskey industry. We also discuss the legacy of moonshine in Dawsonville, Georgia, and the cultural connections tied to one of their moonshines inspired by a classic 1970s film. We'll also cover details about the modern distillery and the new satellite locations coming online. And catch an extra 10 minutes of interview, commercial-free as a member of patreon.com/whiskeylore.

They also brought with them an age-old criminal code that would lay the foundation for the American Mafia as we know it. Our story begins with the Mustache Petes—those old-world mafiosi who preyed on their own immigrant communities through intimidation, extortion, and a cunning knack for organized crime. One of their earliest rackets? Counterfeiting.

In this episode of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast, Wil Brawley talks with Seth Watson, the founder of Distillery of Modern Art in Atlanta. Seth shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching a production and event design business out of a garage to eventually building a one-of-a-kind distillery that blends spirits, art, and community. He opens up about why he left his first business, how he navigated outdated Georgia alcohol laws, and why he built a distillery with multiple revenue streams: a cocktail bar, an art gallery, an event space, and a production facility. Seth also discusses the lessons he's learned about ego, iteration, and surrounding himself with smart people, while offering fascinating insights into bourbon, gin, and the modern spirits landscape.Key Takeaways: From Garage to 400+ Events a Year: Seth's first business in event production started in a garage and grew into a full-scale company handling hundreds of large-scale events annually. Exit Fueled by Values Misalignment: After 17 years and increasing tension with a 50/50 partner, Seth exited the business to preserve his sanity and avoid letting resentment fester. Control Matters: Seth learned the hard way that 50/50 partnerships often don't work. He now maintains control in any business he leads. Birth of a Unique Concept: Distillery of Modern Art combines a distillery, cocktail bar, art gallery, and event space—all designed around Seth's love for whiskey and modern art. Navigating Georgia's Arcane Liquor Laws: Seth had to build his distillery concept while lobbying against outdated post-Prohibition laws that limited direct-to-consumer sales. Whiskey Meets Art: The subjectivity of both whiskey and art inspired the distillery's brand and mission: create a sensory and aesthetic experience, not just a product. Producer for Other Brands: In addition to his own spirits, Seth's team produces over 40 products for 18 other brands across the U.S., offering a more personal and flexible alternative to large manufacturers like MGP. No Ego in Product Development: Seth scrapped his original gin recipe when taste tests failed—not because he didn't like it, but because customers didn't. Craft Over Hype: Seth values drinkability and authenticity over branding. He prefers bottles like Michter's over hyped-up names like Pappy Van Winkle. Committed to Community: From supporting small farmers to featuring local artists (commission-free), Seth backs up his community-first philosophy with action. Owner Mentality, Not Exit Mentality: Like the Yingling family, Seth isn't chasing a fast exit. He wants to build a sustainable, generational business—possibly passing it on to his children one day.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

Ok we have talked stills in the past. But never 3 chamber stills. They are unique and different and tend to make a very oily and viscous whiskey. Check it out, sorry it was raining hard in the shed so the mic might be a little hot or laggy. I tried to clean it up.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWZ4dGp2MzlucjVvdw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanA three-chamber still is a type of distillation apparatus, historically used for producing whiskey, particularly rye, in the mid-1800s and early 1900s. It features three separate chambers stacked vertically, each with a specific role in the distillation process. These stills are known for producing a heavier-bodied, aromatic spirit due to the way they extract flavor compounds. Here's a breakdown of the three-chamber still:Design:The still consists of a tall, column-like structure, often made of wood or copper, divided into three chambers. Function:Freshly fermented mash (or distiller's beer) is fed into the top chamber. Steam, generated from the bottom chamber, heats the mash, and vapor containing alcohol and flavor compounds rises to the next chamber. Each chamber has a valve for liquid to flow down to the chamber below. Extraction:The bottom chamber, initially filled with water and then with spent mash, is where steam extracts heavier oils and flavor compounds. Output:The vapor from the bottom chamber then passes through the middle and top chambers, stripping out alcohol and flavor from the mash in each. Historical Use:Three-chamber stills were popular for producing rye whiskey in the mid-1800s but largely disappeared after Prohibition. Why they are used:Flavor profile:Three-chamber stills are known for producing a heavy-bodied, oily, and aromatic spirit, often with lavender-like notes, making them suitable for rye whiskey. Efficiency:The design allows for efficient extraction of flavor compounds from the mash, resulting in a flavorful distillate. Batch process:Three-chamber stills are typically used in a batch process, meaning they are not continuously running, allowing for careful fractionation of heads, hearts, and tails. Modern Revival:Three-chamber stills are making a comeback in some distilleries as distillers seek to recreate the unique flavor profiles of pre-prohibition spirits. Leopold Bros is a notable example of a distillery reviving this style, using a meticulously engineered three-chamber still to produce their signature Three Chamber Rye. Leopold Bros Three Chamber RyeThe Revivial of a Lost American TraditionLeopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a Three Chamber Still from old manuscripts and grew the heritage grain Abruzzi rye that was favored by Pre-Prohibition distillers to resurrect this one-of-a-kind whiskey. ​The 2022 summer release of the Three Chamber Rye is a Single Barrel offering. Todd Leopold worked through our dunnage warehouse, searching for the best barrels that are at least 5 years old.He found some commonalities: rich aromas of peanut shell, maple syrup, cocoa nibs, and hazelnuts followed by wafts of fruits like plum, cherries, apricot and orange marmalade. In the finish, you will find the floral notes that are the hallmarks of Three Chamber Rye: lavender, rose, elderflower, and chamomile. Each barrel he selected has differing intensities of these notes and thus every bottle from this collection is marked with the barrel number and the date the barrel was filled. We hope you enjoy this rebirth of an American classic as much as we enjoyed making it.

During the Prohibition era of the 1920s and early 1930s, speakeasies and gin joints were the place to be to get ahold of “evil booze.” How did the government try to control access? They purposely poisoned industrial alcohol that was being repurposed for cocktails. It wound up killing and maiming tens of thousands of would-be partiers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this captivating episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter sit down with Rabbit Hole founder Kaveh Zamanian at the distillery's stunning downtown Louisville location for a twofold journey: one through the glass, and one through time. Their guest isn't just a master distiller and entrepreneur — he's now an author, and his new book, Mother of Bourbon: The Greatest American Whiskey Story Never Told, brings the remarkable story of Mary Dowling into the spotlight. As the episode unfolds, Kaveh shares how a footnote in an old text sparked years of research into Dowling's forgotten legacy. A pioneering woman who ran successful distilleries, survived Prohibition by moving operations to Mexico, and may have influenced the 1964 congressional act recognizing bourbon as America's native spirit — Dowling's story is equal parts myth, grit, and American ingenuity. Zamanian's book gives her the recognition she never received… until now. But this isn't just a history lesson — it's also a tasting session. The team begins with the Mary Dowling Wheated Bourbon, a 93-proof pour made from 65% corn, 25% wheat, and 10% malted barley. Aged in toasted and charred barrels and barreled at a low 110 proof, the whiskey surprises with bright cherry, cereal grain, and soft spice notes. With its luxurious mouthfeel and balanced finish, it reflects the same craft and care Zamanian brought to the storytelling in his book. Listeners also get a sneak peek into the upcoming Tequila Barrel-Finished Mary Dowling expression, inspired by Dowling's cross-border Prohibition-era distilling. Though not tasted in this episode, it's clear this release continues the theme of honoring history through bold innovation. Between sips and stories, Kaveh walks listeners through the serendipitous acquisition of the Dowling and Waterfill & Frazier trademarks, his connections to descendants of Robert Gould (former owner of what became Wild Turkey), and the deep creative process that brought both whiskey and book to life. Whether you're a bourbon buff, a history enthusiast, or simply love a great story in your glass and on your shelf, this episode is a masterclass in how legacy, craftsmanship, and storytelling can beautifully collide.

Western Georgia, 1946. Years after Prohibition ended, illegal stills are still in operation, fueled by vast amounts of money and corruption, far removed from the portrayal of good old boy exploits seen on TV and in movies. In this era of moonshine and deceit, it is the responsibility of the Georgia Revenue Agents to identify and shut down these illicit operations and to arrest those involved. As danger and fear escalate, a murder heightens the tension, igniting a pursuit of justice that drags women, children, and those sworn to uphold the law into the line of fire.  Drawing on the stories told by his grandfather, a Revenue Agent, and his extensive research into the unfolding events and the lives impacted by this turmoil, Chris Skates speaks with Jill about his book, Moonshine Over Georgia- a perfect summer read by the pool or at the beach!   ANNOUNCEMENT!   JILL WILL BE ON CREATORS ROW AT CRIMECON DENVER 2025, SEPT 5-7, 2025!  NEED TO BUY A BADGE?  USE JILL'S CODE  murdershelf  AND GET 10% OFF!  https://www.crimecon.com/CC25  SEE YOU IN DENVER MURDER BOOKIES!    BUY Moonshine Over Georgia by Chris Skates on AMAZON!

In this episode of The Cole Memo, Cole sits down with economist Beau Whitney of Whitney Economics to unpack the complex realities behind cannabis market structures. From price elasticity and licensing limits to the rising tension between hemp and marijuana regulation, Beau explains what the data really shows. They also tackle how market access, consolidation, and criminal enforcement intersect with public policy — and why some legalization efforts may be reinforcing old injustices. If you've ever wondered whether high cannabis prices are policy-driven, or why hemp has become such a lightning rod, this conversation is for you.

If you have spent any time at all in the wine trade...even if you have just visited the wine section of your favorite market; you know, have seen and recognize the name Sebastiani. They are one of the original Sonoma county wine families and August is the 4th generation. He makes an interesting point that traditionally in the Italian culture, the firstborn son that gets the name of the founding family member, in this case, it was the 4th generation son. But don't let the family history fool you into thinking this is old school, archaic thinking wine approach; nothing could be further from the truth. Few winery names are as steeped in Sonoma lore as Sebastiani, but August Sebastiani himself is as approachable as a bottle of his family's famed Zinfandel. Tune into this episode and you'll discover why. You'll be privy to a firsthand account of American winemaking's intersection with immigration, family legacy, and relentless innovation, as August peels back the layers of his family's journey from Tuscan stone mason beginnings to California wine empire. You'll hear how his great-grandfather started with nothing but a trowel and a dream, made his fortune in rocks after San Francisco's great earthquake, and how the generations that followed grew that spirit into an industry force—pivoting from stones to grapes, from bulk to premium, and always with a nod to their roots. August shares candid stories of sibling rivalry among winemaking families, the hard lessons learned from Prohibition, and the offbeat path that nearly led him away from wine. Whether wrangling city council duties in between harvests or tending to the next generation of wine drinkers, August reveals how both tradition and restless creativity fuel Three Badge Beverage Corporation's quest for relevance in a marketplace that's constantly shifting underfoot. You'll learn why packaging matters as much as what's in the bottle, what innovation actually looks like for a multigenerational wine business, and why sometimes, the key to success is simply listening—whether it's to a bartender's take on what's trending or a customer's unvarnished truth. Walk away from this episode with intimate knowledge of how the Sebastiani family has continually reinvented itself, how legacy and bold experimentation coexist, and why August believes you sometimes have to run to the front of the parade and pretend you've been leading it all along.   Three Badge Beverage Corporation (Three Badge) Website: https://threebadge.com Sebastiani Vineyards Website: https://www.sebastiani.com Don Sebastiani & Sons Website: https://donsebastianiandsons.com Wine of the Month Club Website: https://www.wineofthemonthclub.com B.R.

Andrea Gonzmart Williams, the fifth-generation caretaker of the Columbia Restaurant Group and Tampa's 2024 Hispanic Woman of the Year, joins Owen LaFave to tell the inspiring story of an establishment that needs no introduction if you're a local. Founded in 1905, the Columbia Restaurant survived historical events like the Great Depression, Prohibition, and the Spanish Flu and has expanded to include other restaurant brands such as Ulele, Goody Goody, and Cha Cha Coconuts in Sarasota. Andrea describes how consistency has allowed this family-owned business to balance tradition and innovation across generations for nearly 120 years. From surviving financial challenges to hurricanes and COVID, Andrea recounts how her father's leadership and resilience helped save and grow the business while always prioritizing community and working alongside staff. She reveals how the company makes caring for employees a priority—keeping them paid and supported through the pandemic and other crises—and reflects on the emotional weight of carrying on her family's legacy. What is Andrea's own approach to leadership in the restaurant industry? Spoiler: It involves putting in the hours, even when that means rolling up your sleeves to do dishes at 2am.   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

Et on enterre.Et puis il y a l'autre scène : celle des bureaux, des couloirs du Congrès, des caves du Sénat pleines de bouteilles, pendant que les rues se remplissent de cadavres.La Prohibition devait moraliser l'Amérique. Elle l'a fracturée. Elle a sapé la confiance dans les institutions. Elle a légitimé la corruption comme mode de gouvernement. Elle a semé les bases du crime organisé moderne.Et pourtant, cette période est aussi fascinante que trouble. Car elle interroge :Pourquoi une société décide-t-elle de bannir quelque chose d'aussi ancré que l'alcool ?Pourquoi une loi, votée à une écrasante majorité, devient-elle si vite une mascarade ?Et pourquoi, malgré ses effets désastreux, certains rêvent-ils encore, aujourd'hui, de moraliser la société par la contrainte ?Ce que nous allons explorer, ce n'est pas seulement une période de l'histoire américaine.C'est un miroir tendu à notre époque.Car derrière les barils de whisky cachés dans les caves, derrière les gangsters en costume et les descentes de police, il y a une question essentielle : que se passe-t-il quand la loi s'attaque à la culture ? Et que reste-t-il, une fois la tempérance oubliée, mais que la violence, elle, est restée ?Mon invitée, l'historienne et spécialiste des Etats-Unis, Annick Foucrier, qui vient de sortir son dernier ouvrage, excellent, au nom évident "La Prohibition", chez Armand Colin Distribué par Audiomeans.

Pour vous abonner et écouter l'émission en une fois, sans publicité : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Ça démarre toujours comme ça Par une bonne intention.Alors, on veut sauver les hommes de l'alcool, protéger les familles, ramener l'ordre moral.On veut guérir l'Amérique.Mais ce que les États-Unis vont vivre, à partir de 1920, n'a rien d'une convalescence. C'est une descente. Une décennie de violence, de double discours, d'hypocrisie politique et de criminalité organisée à une échelle jamais vue.Pendant treize ans, la fabrication, la vente et le transport d'alcool deviennent illégaux sur l'ensemble du territoire américain. Officiellement, l'alcool est banni pour préserver la nation, encourager la tempérance, rendre les citoyens meilleurs. En réalité, il ne disparaît jamais. Il change de visage. Il entre en clandestinité. Et l'Amérique avec lui.Derrière les façades closes des speakeasies (les bars clandestins), on danse sur du jazz, on trinque en cachette, on négocie des pots-de-vin. La police détourne les yeux, parfois la loi aussi. La boisson coule à flot dans les villes, les caves, les arrière-salles. Et dans les veines du pays.L'État croyait contrôler une habitude. Il découvre qu'il a réveillé un monstre.Car interdire, ce n'est pas empêcher.Et ce que la Prohibition interdit, elle va surtout le rendre rentable.Elle consacre des figures nouvelles.Des avocats devenus millionnaires, dont certains dissimulent leurs distilleries derrière des pharmacies.Des criminels qui deviennent des icônes, comme Al Capone, qui transforme Chicago en capitale du crime, finance des soupes populaires avec l'argent du trafic, tout en faisant exécuter ses rivaux à la mitraillette.Mais la Prohibition, ce n'est pas seulement l'histoire des gangsters. C'est aussi celle des échecs du pouvoir, des contradictions d'une société, et du poids des idéaux mal appliqués.C'est l'histoire d'une croisade morale détournée par l'argent. D'un État qui perd la main.D'un peuple qui se rit des lois… et qui en meurt parfois.Car à force de distiller dans l'illégalité, on fabrique des alcools frelatés, toxiques, dangereux. On mélange, on coupe, on triche. Et on enterre.Et puis il y a l'autre scène : celle des bureaux, des couloirs du Congrès, des caves du Sénat pleines de bouteilles, pendant que les rues se remplissent de cadavres.La Prohibition devait moraliser l'Amérique.

During the Prohibition era (1920–1933), when the U.S. government banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol under the 18th Amendment, bootleggers emerged as key players in the illegal liquor trade. These smugglers and illicit distillers supplied alcohol to a thirsty public, often producing homemade “moonshine” or smuggling foreign liquor from Canada, Mexico, or the … Continue reading Episode 462: Bootleggers and Prohibition
