J.Edgar Hoover and the position of the FBI

J.Edgar Hoover and the position of the FBI 

(How Mrs. Ruth Vanderbildt-Towny knew the length of the prohibition law?)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

J. Edgar Hoover (1895-1972) was one of the most complicated characters of the history of the United States of America. He was the man, who led FBI from the age of 24 until his death at the age of 77 in 1972. He was the head of the FBI from its establishment in the year 1924 until his death and the years in the service were 59. During the prohibition law, that man worked against corruption, and he got very much success. In the early years, FBI was known as BOI (Bureau of Investigations  (or Intelligence)) and in the year 1935 that office took the name FBI (Federal Bureau of investigations), and there is one remarkable thing in the history of that bureau.

During the Second World War, the president of the United States offered Hoover the rank of the General Lieutenant. And the problem was, that the president of the United States would be the chief and give commands to the FBI. In Kennedy's era, that thing was again under the discussions and the reason for that was that Kennedy wanted to put the FBI under the political control, but there was one excuse, and that was that the control for the FBI took Kennedy himself, if that model of selection of the personnel would be taken in the bureau. In that case, the president would use it in the own purposes.

There is one thing, what would raise the FBI in the position, what it has even today. The thing is called the prohibition law, what filled the pockets of American gangsters with dollars. When we are talking about the explosive rise of the numbers criminal activities during the prohibition laws from 1920 to 1933, we must also notice that the archive and reporting methods of the crimes were became more advanced, and that means that the people were reported about crimes more often than before, and that might also raise the percent of the criminal activities.

How Mrs. Ruth  Vanderbildt-Towny knew the length of the prohibition law?

There is one little detail, what makes us interesting, and it's the story that before the prohibition law Mrs. Vanderbildt-Towny ordered enough alcohol, that it was enough for the all 13 years of the existence of that law.  And here we must ask one thing, "hos she could predict that?". Was somebody told that woman, that someday the prohibition law would be disembed? That will mean that the law was meant for the temporary or appointment solution.

 When we are thinking about the case that the prohibition law would cause the problems for the United States, would that person mean some politicians have made money for selling illegal alcohol during the prohibiting law? And that would be very awkward, but as we know, that also  Americans are only human beings. In some other countries were similar laws, what was meant for making people stop drinking. The reason for the attempt to make people becoming sober was that in that time people drink too much alcohol and also the State wanted to collect money from that product in the form of the taxes.

When we are thinking about the situation, that some politicians became rich because of the smuggling the alcohol, that would cause the situation, that the politicians, who had a relationship with Mafia would enter to the parliament. The power of the FBI was and still is, that the information of those actions might be found in its archives and that would give power to that organization to control the politicians.

During the prohibiting law could some politicians make money by selling alcohol, and that money will go to the banks of Canada, and then it would be returned to the United States, by some import companies. And that money could help the politician rising to the power. Of course, when the prohibiting law has dismantled the smuggling itself was not the crime anymore. But violence and murders, what was connecting the smuggling business were still crimes.

The strange thing about the war on terrorism and organized crime

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Spies, agents or intelligence officers, what is the official term for those persons, have a mission. They have a role to send information from the enemy or opponent's ground about the future missions against their employer. The role of the mission is to help own commanders and other authorities predict the opponent's movements and operations. And there is one key element in those operations, what makes spies extremely dangerous even to their employers.

Spies see also another side in conflicts. They see things, what own high command don't want them to see. They are facing the bombardments of own bombers, and they know enemy side like normal people. This is the thing, what makes spies very dangerous because there are always people, who have something to hide even in the own headquarters. When we are thinking about the spy, who is working in drug mafia, we are facing the fact that this kind of persons is sometimes in trouble after operations. But most of the modern agents are working in the world of law enforcement. The mission of those persons is to uncover corruption and the connections between businessmen and organized crime.

When we are thinking about the conflict in the Middle East, that is a very effective thing to turn the public eye away from the Drug business in South America. I have sometimes thought about the complicated relationship between criminals and political violence. And there is hanging one question: does cartel something to do with Isis? Do they give money or buy medicine to that terrorist organization? When we are thinking about this thing more carefully, there is a possibility, that drug cartels wash their money in the banks in the Middle East. Many of those countries think that the USA is their ideological enemy and this kind of situation makes possible to wash money in those banks. And the money must just pack in the cargo planes and fly to the Middle East, where it would put in the bank using accounts, what are made to faked identities or some companies, and then it would transfer thru China and other countries to the Banks of Wall Street.

Those agents are hearing names, what can have connections to the highest level of the law enforcement and justice system. They are hearing stories of the law companies, what hides criminal activities, and here we must return the case, Pablo Escobar. The leader of the Medellin drug Cartel. That man had money, and money gives power. But there is still one question remaining. Could that man really lead the Cartel? Was the person who sniffed cocaine all the times, and who was almost choked, when cocaine powder filled his lungs able to manage the business of the Cartel?

When the police and DEA started operations against that Cartel, everybody on the Earth knew, who Escobar was. And that makes interesting, that this man could live and hide law enforcement in Colombia. There were stories that some other persons were the real leaders of this Cartel. When we are thinking about money laundry, we must realize, that Cartels have money and that money is a very suitable element for growing the financial situation of some banks and investment companies. Those people have only one problem, they cannot walk to the bank with plastic bags and put the money to the desk.

Also, authorities are always interesting the origin of the money. And this is why the money must make clean. Nobody wants to take drug money to a bank account, because that would that would cause that the permission to make business in the legal area would be prohibited. If the person knows about that the money has the origin from drug marketing, that would bring a very long period in jail.

What happened to Elisa Lam?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Elisa Lam (1991-2013) was a young student who was found dead in the water storage of the hotel in Los Angeles. There was no evidence of trauma, and the cause of death is unknown.  In the story was not mentioned, was the water of those tanks used for drinking or were they used only for toilets and other things like cleaning.  This thing is one of the biggest mysteries, what are handled in the net. And there are many theories about that thing, and one of those theories is, that Elisa Lam saw drug dealers or something else, what she supposed not to see, and then those persons pushed her face to the water and killed her.

There is a theory, that the death of Elisa Lam caused by her home language, what is canton Chinese. And if she saw some  North Korean agents, who claimed that they were Chinese, was that caused the death. This theory is one of the most interesting versions of the theories, what is told about this case, because if the North Koreans were spoken Korea together and Elisa noticed that, they could be uncovered and that would be the reason for killing that woman. But were those agents try to buy some military secrets or sell the drugs in that hotel is never mentioned by the teller of that story, and here I must say, that this is only theory. And nothing proves, that there were illegal actions in that hotel in that time, except the body of Elisa Lam, a young student from Canada.

The question about this death is that there seems no reason, why a healthy 21 years woman dies without reason and the body was found in the water tank. The death is the mystery, and the Los Angeles police department asked the public for helping this thing. Below this text is the link to the film, what tells about this case, and in the point what begins in the 1:47 is the security camera film about this case.

Film what was pictured in the elevator is the last screens, where Elisa Lam is alive. And there are interesting details. When Elisa Lam walks out the elevator, she starts to move her hands, and there seems that she talks to somebody. What does she say is not known or published. But then she returns the elevator and starts to push the buttons, and then she steps away.  At this time, there were not mentioned, was Elisa Lam in the floor, where her hotel room was or was she on some other floor?

But the interesting thing is, why the elevator was not moving. She seems to hide something, but the way she acts is a little bit cross-purpose because she walks away from the elevator. And then she starts to act like trying to do some "Wing Chun" movements, and maybe the reason for pushing those buttons was that the elevator was not moving.  At this point,  I must ask "was somebody calls Elisa to come outside the elevator?". And if she was hiding something, why she step out the elevator? And the main question is, how her body got in the water tank? The hatches of those tanks are quite heavy, and there would not go accidentally.
