Romney Tobacco Deal With Russian Mob and GOP

Begun as Smuggling Operation Through GOP and KGB, Later Became Russian Mob Partnership

Stories hitting the press today about Bain Capital and the Russian cigarette market tell only a small part of the story. Stories say that Romney sent representatives to Russia to aid them in selling cigarettes but this is quite misleading. The real deal was between the GOP and Russian Mafia with Bain only acting as “consultant.”
The GOP organized cigarette smuggling into Russia through Poland in late 1990 and early 1991, paying of KGB operatives in Russia. Cigarette sales in Russia were a method then of supplying income for disabled veterans, as cigarette kiosks were a “perk” of military service and a method of survival for many.
Initially, cigarettes came from vending companies in the US, were shipped in 20 foot containers into Gdansk, Poland, and trucked into Russia where the profits were split with the KGB.
The first few shipments were all Marlboro and traded for vodka which was offloaded in Chicago. Where it went from there, who knows.
The KGB, in turn, arranged for Soviet bankers to tour the US, with Republican Party hosts and CIA security. Arrangements were made to set up a worldwide money laundering operation, I think we know who runs that.

Is Mr. Duff an agent of disinformation or merely biased...or both? Even an idiot knows that the Mafia has a way of controlling, manipulating and taking over legitimate businesses one way or the other and sooner or later. That includes the Russian Mafia as well as all the Al Capones, Paul Riccos, and Meyer Lanskys from the past, plus thousands of others out there just waiting for their golden opportunity to pounce on their next victims with threats, coercion, beatings, intimidation, and outright murder. Duff loves to paint a picture with words of his choosing in the pattern he deems is more suitable to promote and strengthen his purposes and agendas, whatever they may be, and I, for one, always question them.
