US creates new squad to fight organised crime
Calcutta News.Net
Wednesday 23rd April, 2008
The United States says international crime groups are now operating to provide support to terrorists and manipulate global markets.
US Attorney General Michael Mukasey has said the new crime groups have shown themselves to be more adaptable and sophisticated than previous alliances, including the Italian mafia.
Mr Mukasey cited recent cases, many with links to the former Soviet bloc, who had taken over in some areas of global energy and strategic materials, corrupting the markets and having a destabilising effect on US geopolitical interests.
He said the groups launder billions of dollars through US financial institutions, and invest profits in publicly traded companies.
They also exploit the Internet, he said, by running scams on eBay, flooding in-boxes with e-mail spam and laundering money through virtual worlds such as Second Life.
Mr Mukasey said he had revived an Organised Crime Council of senior law enforcement officials, to provide more information to the State Department to help it deny visas to known criminals and to the Treasury Department so it could impose sanctions against money laundering.
It will also increase cooperation with foreign countries, training and assisting crime fighters.

What’s that I hear; the US government concerned about scams on the internet? Maybe they are concerned that they are losing money somewhere. I’m sure Ebay doesn’t care as long as the money keeps coming in. A great idea -> only 10 years too late !!!

All the SPYING is MULTIPLYING!!
The future is now, where 'accusation' meets seizure and death.
“Squad” an ominous word, that brings to mind 'NIGROPONTI', and 'DEATH SQUADS'!
Which is a progression step for the Gang in charge of the US. gLOBALIZATION mASTERS DO NOT LIKE COMPETITION.

Brings to my mind several names and none of them are in that post.
Obama
McCain
Clinton
Bush
Cheney
Carter
All of Congress!
How about we start with the above names for links to organised crime.
The above group would keep an entire task force busy for years.

That was no 'MINDFUL LIST...
The list is the bidding of a messianic dupe.
The list is more an example of the 'nIGROPONTI plan' (Negroponte, for the dumbth)

Which name or group on my list should not be investigated for criminal racketering and charged under Rico laws.
Please do enlighten me i’m all eyes and ears.
Or like always will you resort to a riddle filled nonsense post or ignore it all together.
It might be beneificial for you to know what the Rico laws where used to combat and how they apply.
Pay special attention to the Gambino crime family and who was paid to pardon one of them.
In fact this one act sent several key names into a federal criminal database!
