Part 2: A Timeline of Epstein, Trump, Sex Trafficking, and the Intelligence Community
I don't think John DeCamp gets everything right, especially his claims about satanic groups, but in 1988 we learn about the Franklin Coverup, which Wikipedia describes as:
"The Franklin child prostitution ring allegations began in June 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska and attracted significant public and political interest until late 1990, when separate state and federal grand juries concluded that the allegations were unfounded and the ring was a "carefully crafted hoax."[1][2].
In the Executive Board's public session Monday, Mr. Chambers said the activities of Lawrence E. King Jr., the credit union's manager for the last 18 years and the central figure in its collapse, were ''just the tip of an iceberg, and he's not in it by himself.'' But Mr. Chambers added nothing that would shed light on his cryptic assertion....Mr. King is a 44-year-old Omaha resident who wholly or partly owns several small businesses here and lives with his wife and school-age son in a large house in one of the city's better neighborhoods. He is a tall, expansive figure well known for his costly style of dressing, lavish celebrations and extensive travel, sometimes in chartered jets and often with an entourage of young men.In 1972 he headed a national political organization, Black Democrats for George McGovern. But he gained greater prominence after he had switched parties a while later, serving for a time as vice chairman of the National Black Republican Council, an official affiliate of the Republican Party, and becoming a familiar figure on the Republican social scene.Mr. King has maintained a $5,000-a-month residence off Embassy Row in Washington and has also entertained generously at Republican National Conventions. At the 1984 gathering, in Dallas, where he sang the national anthem on the convention floor, he rented the ranch where the television series ''Dallas'' is filmed and organized a party there for black Republicans....Mr. King's trouble with the authorities came to the surface early last month when officials of the Government's National Credit Union Administration, acting on information from the F.B.I. and the Internal Revenue Service, arrived at the offices of the Franklin Community Federal Credit Union and shut it down. Then, on Nov. 14, the agency, which oversees the nation's federally chartered credit unions and insures their deposits, filed the Government suit against Mr. King, whose salary as Franklin Community's manager had been less than $17,000 a year.
Craig J. Spence (1941 – November 10, 1989) was a Republican) lobbyist who was found dead in a Ritz-Carlton hotel room in 1989.[1][2] ...Spence was implicated in a gay call-boy ring scandal, that arranged after-hours visits to the White House, the Washington Times and other papers reported in June 1989. Afterward, Spence committed suicide in a Boston hotel....Spence's name came to national prominence in the aftermath of a June 28, 1989 article in the Washington Timesidentifying Spence as a customer of a homosexual escort service being investigated by the Secret Service, the District of Columbia Police and the United States Attorney's Office for suspected credit card fraud. The newspaper said he spent as much as $20,000 a month on the service. He had also been linked to a White House guard who has said he accepted an expensive watch from Mr. Spence and allowed him and friends to take late-night White House tours.[4]Spence entered a downward spiral in the wake of the Washington Times exposé, increasingly involving himself with call boys and crack,[5] and culminating in his July 31, 1989 arrest at the Barbizon Hotel on East 63rd St in Manhattan for criminal possession of a firearm and criminal possession of cocaine.[6]Months after the scandal had died down, and a few weeks before Spence was found in a room of the Boston Ritz-Carlton Hotel, he was asked who had given him the "key" to the White House. Michael Hedges and Jerry Seper of The Washington Times reported that "Mr. Spence hinted the tours were arranged by 'top level' persons", including Donald Gregg, national security adviser to Vice President George H. W. Bush at the time the tours were given.[5]When pressed to identify who it was who got him inside the White House, Spence asked "Who was it who got [long-term CIA operative] Félix Rodríguez) in to see Bush?", agreeing that he was alluding to Mr. Gregg.[5]Gregg himself dismissed the allegation as "absolute bull", according to Hedges and Seper. "It disturbs me that he can reach a slimy hand out of the sewer to grab me by the ankle like this," he told the reporters. "The allegations are totally false."[5]
I'll let you decide how credible you find any of this so far. It should be noted that many of the people implicated in these affairs -- Wilson, Singlaub, Moon, Casey, Rodriguez, Bush, Stone, and Gregg -- were also involved to varying degrees in the Iran Contra Affair, which illegally raised money for anti-communist terrorists in Central America through the use of death squads, rape, and drug sales. One does not necessarily equal the other, but sexual blackmail and human trafficking don't seem like much of a stretch. An article by The Guardian notes: Czechoslovakia ramped up spying on Trump in late 1980s, seeking US intel:
In summer 1987, Donald and Ivana Trump visited Moscow and Leningrad, following a personal invitation from the Soviet ambassador in Washington, Yuri Dubinin. The trip was arranged by Intourist, a travel agency that was also an undercover KGB outfit. Soon after returning from Moscow, Trump announced he was thinking of running for president. That presidential bid failed to materialise.In October 1988, on the eve of the US election, Ivana Trump visited her parents in Zlín, known at the time as Gottwaldov. According to the files she “confidently” predicted Bush’s victory to her father, who in turn passed the tip to local StB officers.“The outcome of the election confirmed the veracity of this information,” StB field agent Lt Peter Surý wrote, in a document dated 23 January 1989 and marked “secret”.The prediction came “from the highest echelons of power in the US”. Ivana was “not only a well-heeled US citizen” but moved in “very top political circles”, Surý stated....It is unclear when the KGB began a file on the future president. In Prague about 60,000 StB documents were declassified in the mid-1990s, after the collapse of communism. The StB destroyed most records.However, secret memos written by the KGB chief, Vladimir Kryuchkov, in the mid-1980s reveal that he berated his officers for their failure to cultivate top-level Americans. Kryuchkov circulated a confidential personality questionnaire to KGB heads of station abroad, setting out the qualities wanted from a potential asset.According to instructions leaked to British intelligence by the KGB defector Oleg Gordievsky, they included corruption, vanity, narcissism, marital infidelity and poor analytical skills. The KGB should focus on personalities who were upwardly mobile in business and politics, especially Americans, the document said.
A year before the 1989 collapse of communism in many parts of Europe, details about Ivana Trump's 1988 visit back to her homeland were recorded in a classified police report. The Oct. 22, 1988 report claimed that Trump refused to run for president in 1988 — despite alleged pressure to do so — because he felt, at 42, he was too young. But the secret report said he intended to run in the 1996 U.S. presidential race as an independent, when he would be 50."Even though it looks like a utopia, D. TRUMP is confident he will succeed," the police report said, based on information from an unspecified source who talked to Ivana Trump's father, Milos Zelnicek, about her visit.It was unclear where the alleged "pressure" was coming from. [Note: In "Get Me Roger Stone", Stone claims he was the one who convinced Trump to run.]...Trump's first wife was born Ivana Zelnickova in 1949 in the Czechoslovak city of Gottwaldov, the former city of Zlin that just had been renamed by the Communists, who took over the country in 1948. She married Trump, her second husband, in 1977. As she kept traveling home across the Iron Curtain on a regular basis, Ivana became a tempting target for the powerful, deeply feared Czechoslovak secret police agency known as the StB.
And by at least 1989, Trump himself was in the social circle of both Iran Contra figures and the father of Epstein's alleged "madame", Ghislaine Maxwell: (This is from a previous post I made, seen here. Some of the links are subscription only, but are provided for accuracy) NY Daily News - May 5, 1989:
“Everybody, but everybody at the party aboard British media mogul Robert Maxwell’s yacht Wednesday night had to doff their shoes before boarding the plush-carpeted “Lady Ghislaine.” Maxwell insisted, and his guests cooperated, including Donald Trump (minus Ivana), who has a much bigger yacht and was happy to compare notes with Maxwell. [Note: This is in reference to the Kingdom 5KR, originally owned by Adnan Khashoggi, international arms dealer and uncle of slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi.] There were John Tower [Republican Senator in charge of the Tower Commission, which investigated Iran Contra]; ex-Navy secretary John Lehman [Reagan appointee 1981-1987], now with Paine Webber; lawyer Tom Bolan [law partner of Roy Cohn]; literary agent Mort Janklow [clients include both Nancy and Ronald Reagan for their memoirs]; UN envoy Thomas Pickering [currently a board member at the world’s biggest pipe company, OAO TMK, in Moscow and Chairman of the Rostropovich-Vishnevskaya Foundation, “a non-profit organization based in Washington, DC that supports programs to improve the health of children worldwide”]; and Peter Kalikow, owner of the New York Post [awarded the Israel Peace Medal in 1982; created a super PAC for Herman Cain that was later revealed to be entirely financed by his donations]; Maxwell’s daughter, Ghislaine, and his niece, Helene Atkin of Macmillan, the publishing house Maxwell recently took over."[Note: This sentence wasn't in the Daily News article but shows up in a St Louis Dispatch piece a week later]: “Maxwell, who weighs about 300 pounds, went over the guest list personally.""No one could tell who didn’t make the final list, but we do know that Martha Smilgis of Time was disinvited by David Adler, public relations chief at Macmillan. She wrote the profile of Maxwell which he apparently did not like.”
Who was Ghislaine’s father?
Ian Robert Maxwell "MC (10 June 1923 – 5 November 1991), born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch, was a British media proprietor and Member of Parliament (MP). Originally from Czechoslovakia, Maxwell rose from poverty to build an extensive publishing empire….Maxwell had a flamboyant lifestyle, living in Headington Hill Hall in Oxford, from which he often flew in his helicopter, and sailing in his luxury yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. He was notably litigious and often embroiled in controversy, including about his support for Israel at the time of the 1948 Palestine war. In 1989, he had to sell successful businesses, including Pergamon Press, to cover some of his debts. In 1991, his body was discovered floating in the Atlantic Ocean, having fallen overboard from his yacht. He was buried in Jerusalem. Maxwell's death triggered the collapse of his publishing empire as banks called in loans. His sons briefly attempted to keep the business together, but failed as the news emerged that the elder Maxwell had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from his own companies' pension funds. The Maxwell companies applied for bankruptcy protection in 1992....Shortly before Maxwell's death, a former employee of Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate, Ari Ben-Menashe, approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the U.S. with the allegation that Maxwell and the Daily Mirror's foreign editor, Nicholas Davies, were both long-time agents for Mossad. Ben-Menashe also claimed that in 1986, Maxwell had told the Israeli Embassy in London that Mordechai Vanunu had given information about Israel's nuclear capability to The Sunday Times, then to the Daily Mirror. Vanunu was subsequently kidnapped by Mossad and smuggled to Israel, convicted of treason and imprisoned for eighteen years.Ben-Menashe's story was ignored at first, but eventually The New Yorker journalist Seymour Hersh repeated some of the allegations during a press conference in London held to publicise The Samson Option, Hersh's book about Israel's nuclear weapons. On 21 October 1991, two MPs, Labour's George Galloway and the Conservative's Rupert Allason (also known as espionage author Nigel West), agreed to raise the issue in the House of Commons under Parliamentary Privilege protection, which in turn allowed British newspapers to report events without fear of libel suits. Maxwell called the claims "ludicrous, a total invention" and sacked Davies.[44] A year later, in Galloway's libel settlement against Mirror Group Newspapers (in which he received "substantial" damages), Galloway's counsel announced that the MP accepted that the group's staff had not been involved in Vanunu's abduction. Galloway himself, however, referred to Maxwell as "one of the worst criminals of the century....The Maxwell companies filed for bankruptcy protection in 1992. Kevin Maxwell was declared bankrupt with debts of £400 million. In 1995, Kevin and Ian and two other former directors went on trial for conspiracy to defraud, but were unanimously acquitted by a twelve-man jury in 1996.”
He taught calculus and physics at the prestigious Dalton School, a prep school in Manhattan, from 1973 to 1975, despite not having a college degree. Attorney General William Barr's father, Donald Barr, was headmaster at the time...Epstein left Dalton in the mid-1970s for a job at Bear Stearns at the urging of a student's father who arranged a meeting with the chairman of the investment bank, according to published reports. He later began his own money-management business, J. Epstein & Co....Epstein has long obscured the source of his wealth. Even after his arrest, he refused to provide authorities with even basic information about his income and assets. His attorney said Epstein's lawyers intend to provide the information but want to make sure it is correct first.This much is clear: "He is a man of nearly infinite means," federal prosecutor Alex Rossmiller said in court....Epstein also forged a relationship with Leslie Wexner, the retail titan behind Victoria's Secret, The Limited and other store chains. He started managing Wexner's money in the late 1980s and helped straighten out the finances for a real estate development Wexner was backing in a wealthy Columbus, Ohio, suburb.It was through Wexner that [in1996] Epstein acquired his Manhattan mansion, a seven-story, 21,000-square-foot former prep school less than a block from Central Park. It has been valued at about $77 million.
Donald Trump, for his part, was becoming increasingly restless, and reckless. Despite fathering 3 children and having a devoted wife, by all accounts he didn’t spend much time with any of them, preferring work and play to the routines of domestic life. In the 80’s he made at least two life changing decisions-to step out on his wife publicly, and to expand his negligible empire into Atlantic City casinos. He built Harrah’s at Trump Plaza in 1984, and a partially completed building that became Trump Castle in 1985-a property that would be managed by his first wife, Ivana. He also scooped up the Taj Mahal in 1988, which at a cost of $1.1 billion made it the most expensive casino ever built at the time.
Resorts International, which opened the city's first gambling hall 5 1/2 years ago, broke ground yesterday for a second casino-hotel that will cost $250 million to build and will contain 1,000 hotel rooms and the world's second-largest casino.
Resorts International was a hotel and casino company. From its origins as a paint company, it moved into the resort business in the 1960s with the development of Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and then expanded to Atlantic City, New Jersey with the opening of Resorts Casino Hotel in 1978.
Resorts International was largely a family affair that grew out of a company called the Mary Carter Paint Company."Mary Carter (she never existed) was pretty much a family affair controlled by Jim Crosby, two of his brothers, and his in-laws. Based in Tampa, Florida, the firm included in its directorate James Crosby, John Crosby (a plastic surgeon in Mobile, Alabama), William Crosby (a Tampa realtor), and the Murphy brothers, Henry and Tom, who'd married the Crosby daughters. Henry owned a funeral home in Trenton, New Jersey, while Tom was board chairman of Capital Cities Communications, a successful broadcasting business founded by explorer Lowell Thomas. The explorer too was an early shareholder in Mary Carter Paint, as was Republican Thomas Dewey." (Spooks, Jim Hougan, pg. 381)Acclaimed researchers Sally Denton and Roger Morris note: "... the Mary Carter Paint Company, which was widely considered to be a CIA front that laundered payments to the Cuban exile army in the early sixties..." (The Money and the Power, pg. 284).This is certainly quite plausible considering Mary Carter was then based out of Tampa, a hub for joint CIA-Syndicate efforts to assassinate Castro. As was noted before here, Tampa don Santo Trafficante, Jr. was one of the gangsters initially tapped by the CIA's notorious Office of Security to arrange for Castro's untimely demise. Trafficante, a close associate of Meyer Lansky (whom we shall return to again), had been deeply involved in Cuba's gambling operations prior to the revolution and would later become even more deeply immersed in the world heroin trade. As was noted before here, he was very close to the emerging Cuban Mafia, which provided ample recruits to the CIA during the early 1960s despite much suspicion that Trafficante was a double agent for Castro.Certainly the Mary Carter Paint Company would have been well positioned to assist Trafficante in these endeavors in Tampa. And such a connection would also explain why the corporation, in the mid-1960s (as CIA Cuban operations were winding down), abruptly sold off its paint business and boldly delved into gambling. By the end of the decade it was managing one of the most profitable casinos in the world on the Bahama's Paradise Island.What it amounts to is that by the late period James Crosby emerged as not only the CEO of Mary CarteResorts International, but as an extremely well connected figure within the GOP and beyond."... Crosby was himself uniquely situated in Republican circles: a sometime guest at the White House, he'd donated $100,000 to Nixon's 1968 campaign. He was also a friend of, and frequent host two, Bebe Rebozo (with whom he banked). Moreover, Crosby's private intelligence agency, Intertel, was even then working with White House aides and ITT executives to discredit Jack Anderson's revelations anent ITT and Chile. At the same time, Intertel was the de factocustodian of the demented billionaire Howard Hughes (his own $100,000 donation would later result in two volumes of Senate testimony in the Watergate affair). Indeed, the ties between Paradise Island and Richard Nixon's administration were of the sort that bind: Allan Butler, owner of the failing bank that was his namesake, claims the Nixon was a silent partner of Crosby's in his Bahamian ventures, sharing a healthy chunk of Paradise Island bridge revenues with yet another secret partner, Bebe Rebozo. And by by no means finally, James O. Golden, Resorts' vice-president and one of Intertel's founding spooks, had formerly served as Nixon's Secret Service shield, later taking charge of security for the Nixon forces at the GOP's 1968 convention in Miami Beach. That Paradise Island is a special place, and had a special place in the heart (or what passed for a heart) of the Nixon regime, is abundantly clear... (Spooks, Jim Hougan, pg. 180) ...And that brings us to possibly the most curious aspects of Resorts, namely its ownership of its own vast private intelligence network.It was known as Intertel, short for International Intelligence, Inc. Intertel was incorporated in 1970 as an almost wholly-owned subsidiary of Resorts International and hit the ground running. During its heyday, Intertel had an impressive roster and an international reach. It would turn up in host of intrigues throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Curiously, it had its origins with Robert Kennedy's "Get Hoffa" squad."... Intertel, known especially and remarkably for its composition of former organized crime strike force attorneys from Robert Kennedy's Justice Department... The IRS considered Intertel... 'an organized crime enterprise of some type aimed at the Bahamas,' as one account summed up the agency's view. Roberts Peloquin and William Hundley, Kennedy's top crime fighters, had joined the firm and recruited operatives from the CIA, FBI, IRS, Secret Service, and other intelligence agencies. Staffed exclusively by what one author called 'Get Hoffa agents,' it was likened into a corporate CIA.' (The Money and the Power, Sally Denton & Roger Morris, pg. 284)...Intertel's other ventures include spying of muckraker Jack Anderson) for ITT, investigating the Chicago Tylenol murders and the Bhopal disaster. Even more ominous, however, were its dealings with a shady Belgium-based private detective agency known as Agence de Recherche et d'Information (ARI). As was noted before here, ARI was linked to members of the neo-fascist terror organization known as the Westland New Post, a few of whom had also been implicated in drug trafficking and pedophile rings. Intertel reportedly hired ARI to do some work for them during the 1980s....What is of great interest to us here is Trump's third Atlantic City casino: the Taj Mahal. While now widely associated with Trump, thanks in no small part to it leading to his first bankruptcy, it was not in fact Trump who started the casino. That dubious distinction lies with Resorts International.The company had begun construction on the Taj Mahal in 1983, but had run into persistent difficulties in finishing construction in the following years. Then, in April 1986, James Crosby died suddenly. This left Resorts in turmoil (allegedly) and Trump stepped in. Trump bought a controlling stake in the company in 1987 and was promptly named its chairman of the board.Let that sink in for a moment: Donald J. Trump, the current President of the United States, was briefly the chairman of a corporation long suspected of being a CIA front, that had decades-spanning involvement with the Syndicate, numerous "rogue" financiers, various drug and arms traffickers and which owned a vast private intelligence network...."
Developer Donald Trump took control of Resorts International Inc. yesterday in a $79 million deal that gives him his third Atlantic City casino, including what will be the largest gaming hall in the city.Trump sealed the deal in New York with those connected to the estate of the late founder of Resorts International, James M. Crosby.Trump paid a cash price of $135 a share for 585,068 shares of Class B stock, which has 100 times the voting power of Class A stock.He is expected to make a formal tender offer for the remaining 167,230 shares of Class B stock within the next several weeks at the same $135-a-share price. Owning all the Class B stock would give him 93 percent of the company's voting power.At a board meeting immediately after the transaction with the Crosby estate, Trump was elected chairman of the board of Resorts International, replacing Henry B. Murphy, Crosby's brother-in-law, who resigned.
After a painful scalp reduction surgery to remove a bald spot, Donald Trump confronted his then-wife, who had previously used the same plastic surgeon.“Your fucking doctor has ruined me!” Trump cried.What followed was a “violent assault,” according to Lost Tycoon. Donald held back Ivana’s arms and began to pull out fistfuls of hair from her scalp, as if to mirror the pain he felt from his own operation. He tore off her clothes and unzipped his pants.“Then he jams his penis inside her for the first time in more than sixteen months. Ivana is terrified… It is a violent assault,” Hurt writes. “According to versions she repeats to some of her closest confidantes, ‘he raped me.’”Following the incident, Ivana ran upstairs, hid behind a locked door, and remained there “crying for the rest of night.” When she returned to the master bedroom in the morning, he was there.“As she looks in horror at the ripped-out hair scattered all over the bed, he glares at her and asks with menacing casualness: ‘Does it hurt?’” Hurt writes.
Part of a “calendar girl” competition organized at Trump’s request, the party was put together by a businessman named George Houraney, who spoke with the New York Times for a story published Tuesday.Houraney was also one of many to accuse Trump of sexual harassment, this time toward his former girlfriend and business partner, Jill Harth, who described an incident in 1997 as an attempted rape by Trump.“I arranged to have some contestants fly in,” Houraney told the Times. “At the very first party, I said, ‘Who’s coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.’ It was him and Epstein.”...Before the “calendar girl” event, Houraney warned Trump about Epstein once again.“Look, Donald, I know Jeff really well, I can’t have him going after younger girls,” Houraney recalled telling Trump in the Times interview. “He said: ‘Look I’m putting my name on this. I wouldn’t put my name on it and have a scandal.’”
It was a snowy night in Manhattan, December 1992, and the festive group was embarking on a circuit of exclusive clubs after a sumptuous dinner at the Plaza Hotel’s Oak Room.As the limo wove through the city, Trump discussed his views on dating, according to one of the women riding along. The billionaire casino mogul declared that “all women are bimbos” and said most were “gold diggers” who would be smart to go after men with money. Like him.Rhonda Noggle, the model who relayed the story to the Globe in an interview, said that, at that point, she had had enough. Speaking sharply to Trump, she said, she asked him to stop the limo. The car grew silent.
1989-1995 just so happens to be the same time period in which Donald Trumps world and empire was falling apart at the seams. In the beginning of the decade he was facing the end of his first marriage and a looming court battle. Despite his purportedly active dating life, by many accounts Trump was being rejected by many, if not most, of the women he pursued-including Carla Bruni and Jill Hearth. Marla Maples, after years of being the secret mistress and repeated rounds of being dumped and publicly humiliated by Trump, was starting to lose her patience. And the big gamble he took in Atlantic City was, by all accounts, failing miserably-a direct result of his jaw droppingly awful business practices and general incompetence. In 1991, his Taj Mahal Casino filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. In 1992, he again filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy again, this time on his Trump Plaza Hotel (also in Atlantic City), at the time owing $550 million dollars. Recall that he would report an almost 1 billion dollar loss on his 1995 tax returns, according to the copies obtained by the New York Times. Indeed, the early 90’s were not a very good era for Donald Trump. In light of this fact, it’s worth noting that the sexual assault allegations against him are all clustered within this very time frame. [Note: This article was written in 2016, prior to more allegations]...By the time “New York Magazine” did a front page profile of him in 1988, Casablancas reputation for bedding young models was established and begrudgingly accepted (a price to pay in exchange for his “genius”) within the New York social scene, but the expose came as a shock to many outside the bubble. John Casablancas would soon find out that he was not as untouchable as he thought he was. In the article-which ran under the title “Girl Crazy”-Casablancas was portrayed as a champagne guzzling pervert, singularly dedicated to the “new look” department of Elite where he spent his days ogling the scantily clad, sometimes naked bodies of teenage girls. In light of Donald Trump’s more alarming comments and decisions around his daughter Ivanka, this quote stands out:"Casablancas talked about his seventeen year old daughter, Cecile. He said Cecile had been solicited by a photographer last summer on a beach in Ibiza. The photographer asked her to pose in a bikini, and Casablancas raced over to try to get a $2,000 fee for the shot. “She’s got a great little body” he told his models."Another quote that brings a chuckle and a nod of recognition in this story is Casablancas’s bizarre pride over never having changed a diaper. Donald Trump would make similar boasts in a Howard Stern interview a few years later. Compelling proof this is not, but I do believe it’s a hint at the kind of Don Juan persona that Don, far from a Juan, actually a dejected, balding husband with a crumbling empire....But the scandal did not end there, nor did it begin. Less than a month earlier 60 minutes aired a prime-time special on the abuses of underage girls in the modeling industry. Investigative reporter Craig Pyes portrayed the modeling industry as infested with agents who were notorious hustlers and playboys. His report revealed that both Claude Haddad- the head of European scouting for Ford- and Ford’s Paris-based agent Jean-Luc Brunel had been accused of horrific sexual misconduct by many models. [Note: Brunel's name appears multiple times on Epstein's flight manifests.] The special aired the interviews of dozens of women who accused both Brunel and Haddad of a litany of crimes, ranging from racist invective towards black models to violent rape. And in fact the hidden camera footage captured in filming the special caught it all- from Xavier lamenting about n**er models, to Haddad chuckling about drugging and raping 13 year old girls. According to Model At a retreat soon after the one-two punch delivered by the coverage, Haddad, Jean Luc Brunel and Casablancas were once again overheard (albeit not taped this time around) laughing about their crimes. Alternatively they were angry when confronted by interim scouting manager Trudi Tapscott - ”I’m a man and I have needs, I will not apologize for that!” Casablancas is said to have declared....Over time Donald Trump would emerge from the ruins of his empire with a new approach to business, and a new source of income-in 1996 he bought the rights to the Miss Universe franchise, and became the central figure in the running of these pageants. And in 1999 he started a modeling agency - T models, later changed to Trump Model Management. The correlation of interests is quite clear-for a man awkward around women but dependent on his public image saying otherwise, a stable of women under his employ was a way to boost his image-and even better, he was able to lock all of these women into non disclosure agreements, ensuring that his behavior with them had little chance of becoming public knowledge. It also appeared to have served as a useful tool regarding his business transactions-which, in the aftermath of his bankruptcy, were increasingly dependent on some less than savory characters. How he did this, and the breadth of this activity, will be explored in the next installment. But for the time being, there is one final aspect of this story that is breathtaking, and speaks more to the character of Donald Trump than anything else.
Below is what I have created for my upcoming campaign. They will be mainly playing in Cape Town in Azania. - Most of this information has been created by me, as there was not a lot of "cannon" game information in the books. where there was info, I tried to use it as much as possible. (but I also had to make it mine, so...some liberties have been taken). My questions are what do you think about it, should I change or add anything...or is it a nice starting point for what players would know about the nation and city they live in. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Azania (South Africa): The Azanian Confederation was formed in 2040 when the Cape Republic, Oranje-Vrystaat, Trans-Swazi Federation, and Zulu Nation decided to combine into one nation. It fully participates in the Global SIN Registry Geography: The whole central and northern area is on a great plateau · Northern Azania is almost all rain forest · Easterly and center Azania is all arid desert · Center Azania is mostly savannah and scrublands · Westerly and center Azania is all plainlands · Southern coast of Azania is varied and mountainous There are gold mines and diamond mines that give Azania it’s wealth · It is not uncommon to see slaves and indentured servants Weather: · Generally, the climate is temperate (remember that the seasons are opposite of North America) · It doesn’t rain often, but when it does, it rains for a long stretch of time. o This doesn’t include the far northern and the eastern region around Pretoria and Zulu o This also doesn’t include Cape Town that has a dragon that makes it rain Travel: There are several highways that crisscross the nation (The below are the ones that are still mostly intact and maintained) · The N1 is the fastest route to and from Cape Town to Pretoria o The “No-Oners” is a gang that is found between Cape Town and Pretoria and frequently travel the N1 looking for those targets that are easy pickings. They are responsible for smuggling and trafficking the majority of contraband between the cities. · The N2 is along the south coast from Cape Town · The N7 will take you north up towards farmlands where it abruptly ends in a crater · The N12 breaks from the N1 and takes you north through farmlands to the “Central Kalahari Reserve” o The “Grey Coats” are a gang that operates from where the N12 breaks north, and highway road travel is safe if you pay the tolls that they enforce throughout the stretch. They are not that large though and will stay away from protected targets. · The N3 will take you to and from Pretoria to New Hlobane A super railway system runs the entirety on the country, and the main line runs from Cape Town to Pretoria · It runs semi close to highway N1 (running next to it at a few stretches and runs a couple miles away at others) · This rail system is protected and well maintained · It is also instrumental for getting workers, tourists, and cargo between the cities Languages: · English and Afrikaans are tied for the most known/used languages o English is more prevalent in the large cities and Afrikaans is more prevalent everywhere else · The second most used language is Portuguese, and the third language is German · The largest language spoken with in the Wakyambi Elves is Zulu · After that; it is crime languages (Russian, Italian, Cantonese) and dialects (Swazi, Tsonga, etc.) Flora and Fauna: · The biodiversity here is too numerous to list, but all the standard African critters are present o Awakened creatures are in excess, take a guide or ranger with you § Those that stray far from the highways and roads end up missing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cape Town: If someone could describe Cape Town in a single sentence it would probably be… · A land where riches such as diamonds, gold, and uranium spring from the soil like savannah grass, life is still the cheapest of commodities and people are still desperate enough to indenture their offspring to corporate strip mines. It is not the biggest city in Azania, but it is the most diverse and the capital of the country, as well as being the home to the most elite and powerful creatures in the nation. <> Leadership (movers and shakers): Mujaji(f (dragon) The Rain Queen – Great Feathered Serpent) Richard Wong(m (dwarf) Mayor) Jan Vermeer(m (human) CEO of DeBeers-Omnitech ()Diamonds) Erich Sladek(m (ork) Lone Star Police Chief) Jabu Goduka(m (human) District Attorney) Tanya Solari(f (Elf) Ares District Director) Quinton Lavigne(m (human) Neo-Net District Director) Steven Mbulo(m (troll) Military General) Rondo Gibbon(m (dwarf) Shiawase District Director) Tricia Mika(f (human) Evo District Director) Newton Buccan(m(ork) Elite – Wealthy Investor) Cayla Maille(f (human) Elite – Wealthy Philanthropist) Watha Yol(m (Elf) Elite – Wealthy Investor) MabukiNjombo(m (elf) Former “Rain Queen” Shaman) LuisBarreto(m (human) Pirate/Philanthropist/Humanitarian) Malcolm Slayton(m (human) Silver Skull Transportation CEO) Parliament council members: These are a few of the persons that handle all the nation’s major decisions and also reside in Cape Town.

Some well-known locales: Waterfront: · Visible from almost anywhere in Capetown, the blue harbor swarms with ships of all flags. · This is the city’s seaport and despite Mujaji’s attempts, this remains in the hands of pirates and gangs. · However, with the presence of corporate district offices, there is a common set of unspoken rules that keep trouble to a minimum. · Victoria Wharf Mega-mall · Cape Town Customs Office · Two Oceans Aquarium Mouilli Point: · This neighborhood lies west of the waterfront, but still on the coast and lies within the harbor, and it also houses the large stadium (Green Point Stadium) where several sports are played. · Several elite condominiums and resorts have also been built here. · Home to upscale fortified gated estates of the super wealthy. · This is also the home of the largest park in the city. · Metropolitan Golf Club · Green Point Stadium · The Granger Hotel Downtown: · This area has seen the most renovation and revitalization in the past decade with an uncountable amount of nuyen poured into it. · It rivals other large city downtowns like Seattle, Detroit, and Berlin in way of scope and verticality. · Several large corporations have headquarters or district offices here, as well as housing large mega-mall/apartment complexes. · Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden (Biotech greenhouse dome) · Castle of Good Hope · Cape Town City Municipal Buildings · Arcade Café (BaClub) · The Gin Bar (BaClub) · Publik (Dance Club) · Quiksotic Train Terminal · Ares Macrotechnology Capital Building The Gardens: · This neighborhood is located south of Mouilli Point and is home to middle/upper-class families and tourists. · The closer you live to the mountain, the nicer houses you will find, and the closer to the coast you will find apartment complexes. · This district is also named after its many gardens, botanical works of art, and luxurious fountains. · Newmark Hotel and Garden · Protea Zoo · Stella Varis Garden and Fountain Castlen: · South of the Garden along the coast and tucked away from the drek of city life you can find Castlen. · There are few ways to get to this uber-rich neighborhood and all are closely monitored. There is a stretch for commercial… · To even work as a servant in this neighborhood, you have to go through a vigorous background check. · The Crystal Fairway (Golfcourse) · The Roundhouse (5-star restaurant) · Bungalow 52 (Dance Club) Buisenkant: · This neighborhood is located south of the downtown district, and has some of the best nightly views, too bad it is overpopulated. · This area would be the slums of the bowl, with houses practically built adjoining and on top of each other. · Those with the most money can afford the houses closer to the mountainside and thus upper manses with views. · De Waal Park (and accompanying Molteno Reservoir) · Marko’s Killa’ Party (Outdoor Club, Amphitheater) · The Lions Hotel Neighborhoods (the fringe and sprawl): For all the money spending going into the neighborhoods of the “Bowl”, the rest of the sprawl has been left to filth and decay Some well-known locales: Lower Addeley: · East of Waterfront and northeast of Longmarket, the “Low-ady” is mostly industrial shipping and industrial manufacturing · This is also where the airport is located. · It has been rebuilt to accommodate leisurely activities. Far north, is where the dismantling of old ships happens, they are run-a-shore and those that want, get to work on them. · Cape Town Airport · Brooklyn Tower “the Brook” (Mega-mall) · Buffelsfontein Hotel Crossroads: · This area is actually four neighborhoods that all border each other where the N1 and N7 highways intersect. · These areas are mostly lower-class poor and industrial neighborhoods, that most choose to forget or look the other way. · Summer Green: Spearhead Business Park · Summer Green: Chemira Tek HQ · Edgemead: De Akker Pub (Bar) · Edgemead: Cape Town Community College · Acacia Park: St. John’s Church · Acacia Park: Maitland Cemetery · Glenwood: Planet Bar (BaClub) · Glenwood: N1 City Mega-Mall Vesperdene: · This neighborhood lies east of downtown and is one of the more affluent (but still middle-class) and commercial areas of the fringe. · It also could be because it is pretty much just a huge bazaar and one can find pretty much anything here for a price. Tourist and criminals travel these streets and visit these locales. · Indra (Dance Club) · Dunn’s Dungeon (BaClub) · Magica Roma (Bawell known magic shop) Pinelands: · The largest neighborhood in the fringe, it is located east of Vesperdene and is like a small city in its own right. · West of the N7 is mostly made up of lower-class apartment complexes and east of the N7 is middle-class suburbanite homes. There is a downtown that spans the whole distance of the N7 within the boundaries of this area. · West of N7: Star Holiday Mega-Apartments · West of N7: Neo-Net Grid Housing · West of N7: Morningside Mega-Apartments · East of N7: GrandWest Casino and Resort · East of N7: Renegades Pub (Bar) Gugulethu (the Gut): · This area is located south of Vesperdene and is a slumland. · Whereas not as bad as Longmarket, it is still the bottom of society and slummy · Belmont Square (series of Mega-Apartments) · Cambridge Quart (series of Mega-Apartments) · Rondebosch Commons (Park) Longmarket: · This neighborhood is located south of the Pinelands and east of Gugulethu. · This is also where a lot of gang activity takes place, as does smuggling and black-market importing. This is a neighborhood where even Lone Star will refuse to go to answer calls of criminal activity. · Mostly slums and nobody ever goes there to visit · These are mostly just metal shacks huddled together. Organized Crime: Mujaji recently decimated the powerful crime families, in an order to stem their illicit activities, this has left a large power vacuum in the city, that criminals and shadowrunners alike are weighing the options to take. There are three factions that have seemingly survived the “purging” and are vying for control of the cape. · With the deaths of the boss Anthony Ferraro and underboss Killian O’Neill, the Mafia has been in an inter-political war where the “capos” are struggling to decide on a leader. o Joseph Ferraro claims he has the greater entitlement to the spot, as his Uncle was the boss. § Joe is also rumored to be the richest and rumored to live in the “Castlen” neighborhood. o Sean O’Neill is demanding he is the rightful heir to command, as he is the son of the underboss. § Sean is rumored to control the largest force of mobsters. o Nicolas Panchini is claiming that it is time for new blood and ideas, as the last regime brought death. § Nick makes sure to get any rumors squashed but ask around everyone has ideas. · The Vory were also decimated and lost a lot of their command; however, they were quick to hash out new leadership quickly; and in doing so have also been able to take territory from the Mafia. o It is rumored that the new “Prakhan” (leadeboss) is “Vetka Artov”, she used to be the “Obshchak” (security overseer) § This is a tall muscular female troll, no one messed with her before, and now even more so… · The “Blue Lotus” Triad survived and has quickly claimed with force the old Yakuza territories of Vesperdene o It is rumored that have a powerful backer assisting them. Gangs: There are eight main gangs that reside within and battle for neighborhoods; then there are several minor subsidiary gangs that control smaller “blocks” within those larger main gang territories. Below are the gang names and within that will be listed a few minor gangs they control. · The “Drek-Heads” reside in and claim the northern part of the “Lower Addeley” as their own. It is rumored that the Drak-Heads are being led by Luis Barreto, a rumor that he vehemently denies. And no one has been able to expose this rumor to be the truth. o The “Scrappers” control the criminal enterprises of “Dismantlers Corner” north of “Lower Addy”. o The “Picaroons” reside in the “Racine Block” of the “Lower Addy” and are known for carjacking and piracy. · The “Clowns” used to be part of the largest gang in the entire nation, the “Hard Time Kids”, but a recent schism has wrenched them apart. They are now known as the Clowns and despite the name are just as bad, if not worse than they were. They reside mostly in the “Longmarket” but are found in the “Pinelands” too. o The “Jesters” reside in the “54th Block” of the western “Pinelands” and are more small-time criminals than anything else. § The 54th Block is also the location of the “Morningside Mega-Apartment Complex” o The “Ha-ha Boys” reside in “Beggar’s Point” in “Longmarket” and are more violent than the clowns. · The “Harvesters” are mostly found in the Matrix where they steal and extort the common wageworkeslave. Outside of the Matrix they reside in southern “Buisenkant” and deal in counterfeiting, Loansharking, and gambling. o “DotEXE” works for them outside of the bowl and resides in the “Frankfort Block” of Vesperdene. · The “Tusks” are primarily an ork and troll gang that will sometimes allow those that are not orks and trolls entrance if they prove their worth and dedication to the gang. They reside in within the “Acacia Park” region of the crossroads. o There are no smaller gangs that work directly for the Tusks. o The Tusks associate with many gangs and on any given day they could be an ally or an enemy. · The “Reapers” are the only major gang that requires you to be awakened to join. They mostly deal with the occult and some even call them a cult with their rituals and practices. They reside in “the Gut”, but their influence is felt through-out the entire city by way of the astral realm. o The “Spirit Guides” are an organization that claims no affiliation with the Reapers, however, most of the known members of the Reapers were once Spirit Guides. The guides are a pseudo religious group that worships astral creatures. They have “lodges” located all over the city. However, unlike the Reapers they will recruit non-awakened. · The “Draak Elwe” are a group of gang bangers that consider themselves trophy hunters more then a street gang. They call Vesperdene their home, but travel throughout the city and nation hunting the Zulu Wakyambi and other; quote, “over-abundant species’. o There are no smaller gangs that work directly for the Draak Elwe. · The “Red Demons” are the city’s resident go-gang. They reside and strike bystanders along the northern part of the N7. This leads to clashes with the Drek-Heads and the scrappers. Lone Star has also upped its manpower in this region, but with an already tight shift of officers working night and day, it has been hardly an improvement. o The “Speed-Freaks” are a gang that deals with primarily moving cargo safely for a cost. They can be found in any blackmarket where one would need to get things into or out of city limits. o The“Road-Master” is a gang inhisown right, although there are many who take up the mantle of road-master within it this gangs ranks, it is believed that there is an original person, an old shadow-runner, that controls the far northern stretch of N7, by the boarder through military like force. No one has ever seen him or has there been a recent accounting of an attack. · The “Sisters” were recently run out of Acacia Park and their church, the famous St. John’s Church, by city municipalities and have moved to the “Summer Green” region of the crossroads. They are a religious gang that is all female and is militant and brutal. o The “Crusaders” are the militant arm of the Sisters and are just as violent and vicious as their historic counterparts. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vaal (Johannesburg): Northeast of the center of the country you will find the remains of Johannesburg, a once great city is now just a huge slum encircling the inner city reserved for the elites and administrators that run the labor camps. · This is the largest city in Azania, but that size comes from two cities merging and the vast sprawl that extends from the center <> Leadership (movers and shakers): Marielle Castilione(f (human) Mayor) Trenton Jobs(m (human) Metro Police Force Chief) Tandi Izula(m (ork) District Attorney) Galen Kader(m (human) Saeder-Krup District Director) Vala Ifu(f (Elf) Neo-Net District Director) Ganya Ulwazi(m (elf) “King of the Garden” ()lord of the slums) Malik Basset(m (shapechanger) Prime Minister of Azania) Nandi Mogayna(m (human) Council of city affairs – Transportation) Darron Frack(m (Elf) Council of city affairs – Logistics) Lori Hadel(f (human) Council of city affairs – Human Services) Zonke Opopa(m (dwarf) Council of city affairs – Safety) Ingwe Layga(f (human) Council of city affairs – Operations) Parliament council members: The Parliament Building can be seen in the very center of the picture above These are a few of the persons that handle all the nation’s major decisions and also reside in Pretoria. (where-as not an official member, Mujaji is always welcome when she wants) Yuko Locke(f (Elf)) Kwanele Nana(f (human)) Lunga Catz(m (human)) Cole Hayland(m (Elf)) Mercy Bennett(f (human)) Jama Mange(m (human)) Kennith Stoyer(m (dwarf)) Maddie Sharp(f (ork)) Ndonsa Endika(f (troll)) Gentry Foster(m (ork)) Eli Wood(m (human)) Nolan Richards(m (human)) Kayla Steward(f (Elf)) Abelo Nowlz(m (human)) Ufasimba Dulaka(m (Elf)) Isabelle Mitchel(f (human)) Neighborhoods: The neighborhoods are broken into zones, these zones have names associated with them, but can be commonly identified by numbeletter Zone “A” and “B” are both inside the massive walls, the other six zones are numbers and represent 1/6th of the outer portion of the city, alphabetically. Zone A – (Randburg – dual inner circles ): · This is where the elite and rich live, and it is protected as such. · Most of this part of the city is clean and white · Travel to and from and even through in some places is closely monitored and check pointed. There are no ground passageways outside of this zone that lead outside of the walls, that are not heavily monitored. Zone B – (Johannesburg – outer circle)): · This where the uppemiddle class and also the servants live. · Travel through-out this area is as free as any other city, however, there are check points to move outside of the walls. · Lone Star has a national large headquarters here. · The largest “Urban Brawl” stadium is located here and spans several city blocks Starting clock-ways (north) and going around... Zone One – (Tembisa): · This is mostly commercial and lower-class to middle-class residents that live in this zone. · This section is built up and is mostly made up of multi-story buildings and well-kept streets. Those that visit Pretoria for work or pleasure will often stay here if they cannot afford the inner circles. Zone Two – (Kempton Park): · Mostly lower-class residential, and unmaintained parks dot this zone with habitation. · This glorified slum is not as densely populate as zone 04 or 05, and as such, the shacks are a little more well build and most are built on a stone/brick foundation and have a second or third story. · The further you get away from the city This zone is farmland. Zone Three – (Alberton): · One can find mostly slums and industrial parks here, it is not uncommon for large caliber weaponry to be brandished here with no repercussions. · For a price though, you can rent personal security while there. · The “king” controls this zone as well and has his own personal security force that he employs to keep the peace. Zone Four – (Soweto): · This cesspit and slum, is also the largest zone, and extends out to the Driefontein Mine · This zone is controlled by slums Ganya Ulwazi, the self-proclaimed “King of the Slums”. As such no work gets done without his approval and assistance. · This zone is mostly comprised of tightly condensed shacks. Zone Five – (Roodepoort): · This is all lower-class with a few strips of slumlands near the south · This zone is mostly farmland and that land acts as a barrier from the slum of zone 04 and the nicer zone 06. · Parts of the southern region and the farmlands of this zone are controlled by the “King” and his “Pretorian Guard” · It is crucial that the food crops are maintained and defended. Zone Six – (Steyn City): · One of the smaller zone, it is sandwiched between Pretoria and “The Cradle Game Reserve” · It has some of the best gardens in any of the outer zones and a lower-class population that works diligently to keep and maintain the look. However, they do not take kindly to visitors or tourist. · Everyone here feels a duty to pitch in and help out. Organized Crime: · Most of the criminal activities are handled by the gangs of Pretoria o They constantly work together to make sure not one gang gets too big to take control, and this is all rumored to be orchestrated by one man. The “King of the Slums” o There is a rumor that this is enhanced by the vast wealth exchanging hands and no one wanting to rock the boat · The Metropolitan Police Force is also a well-paid elite subsidiary of Lone Star and does its best to keep crime to a minimum throughout the city and the subsequent zones. Gangs: There are three main gangs within the city of Pretoria and one that plies in criminal activities but rumored for the good of the people…sort of like the old stories of Robinhood. · The “Hard Time Kids” reside in Alberton (Zone 03) and are the original gang before the schism that broke the most powerful into the two most powerful and largest in their respected cities. o The “Bucket Brothers” · The “Tusks” that reside within Pretoria are a colony gang that broke away when those from Cape Town started allowing non-ork and non-trolls into their ranks. They reside in Styen City (zone 06) o Like their counterparts, they are too violent to work with any minor gangs for too long. · The “Stutzer” are a white only branch of the Humanist Poli-club that works exclusively in South Africa. They reside mostly in Kempton Park (zone 02). They attack everyone that isn’t human and white. o The “5th Reich” is a German only branch of the Stutzer and a lot of members are in both gangs, you must speak German as a natural language and be able to trace your lineage. It is rumored that they are the ones that are actually in command. · The “Pretorian Guard” are as much a gang as any other group of misfit criminals. They reside primarily in Soweto (zone 04), but their reach extends all the way into the capital and inner circle. They act as defenders of the people more than violent hoodlums. o The king is a Wakyambi (elf) and is believed to have been in the city before everything went down 60+ years ago. Thus, he has a lot of pull and influence within the city and its residence. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zulu Nation: Far to the east along the coast is the home of the Zulu tribal Nation of Elves. Visitors need to get special permits to travel past their boarders into their capital of New Hlobane; and even if you are an elf your chances are not good. There are even Wakyambi that are not even allowed to enter. Being banished is a fate worse than death to most nationals. The N3 is the highway that cuts through the capital of New Hlobane <> Leadership (movers and shakers): Celogal Xanth(m (elf) Prince) Eragor Kant(m (elf) National Military General) Larry Walker(m (elf) Chief City Relation Advisor) Arien Lace(f (elf) Chief Royal Attendant) Grant Evans(m (human) Pretoria Diplomat and Ambassador) Yalaris Moot(f (elf) Cape Town Diplomat and Ambassador) Camanchi(f (shapechanger) Willowton District Alderman) Wami Chundo(m Lincoln Meade District Alderwoman) Olas Munga(m (elf) Loop District Alderman) Reidrey Hado(m (ork) Downtown District Alderman) Eris Jalamba(f (elf) Clarendon District Alderwoman) Popau Lolula(m (elf) Scottsville District Alderman) Neighborhoods: These areas are broken into districts that each have a representative on the “High Seats” these members along with the price oversee the affairs and direction that the city will take. · Willowton o This district is northeast of the loop and is comprised mostly of industrial factories and the slums that surround them. When one pictures slums, they picture Cape Town’s Longmarket or Pretoria’s Soweto neighborhoods, but this would be more like lower-class in those cities. The nation of Zulu prides itself on maintaining their empire. · Lincoln Meade o This district is located east of the loop and is comprised of middle-class families and large parkland, that of which rivals the loop. It is one of the newer districts and is still in development, thus the lush natural aesthetics that still remain. · Loop o The Loop is the district that binds all the other districts together, it is at the center of the city and all the major roadways converge in this area. It also has the most parks and gardens of any other district. · Downtown o This district is northwest of the loop and is all larger buildings and vertical gardens. The city is surrounded by an unrelenting jungles with many unpleasant creatures and this makes it hard for farmers to keep land safe. So downtown has become the largest food depository in all of the nation. At least 2/3rds of all the high rises have some sort of agriculture built into them. · Clarendon o This district is located north-northeast of downtown and is mostly middle-class single-family homes broken into suburbs. Most of the working class live in this zone and the houses are the oldest in the city. · Signal Hill o This district is west of downtown and the loop and is a gated community and a small town in unto itself. It is also where the royal family lives in their castle and surrounding them are the uber-elite mansions. · Scottsville o This district is located south of the loop and is includes mostly tightly packed lower-class suburbs and a few middle-class houses sprinkled throughout the area of those that haven’t moved out yet. This district also has the most apartment complexed save for downtown. Organized Crime: · It is alleged that technically there is no organized crime within the Zulu nation. This is speculated with rumors and whispers that the Zulu nation is in fact a criminal organization that actually controls the nation. · This conspiracy theory is backed by stories of Zulu nationals in other parts of the country intertwined within other criminal networks. Gangs: · The “Pack” is the only one main gang within the city boundaries and it likes to keep it that way. They are rumored to be unofficial defenders and protectors of the city and the nation. They can be found throughout the whole nation. o It is mostly comprised of shapeshifters and unbound spirits
