My parents were born in the middle of the Roaring Twenties and grew up in the Great Depression just in time to spend their teen years under war measures that limited their liberty, which caused them to love freedom more than ever. Although I could use that opening line as a launch into the loss of Liberty planned for the looming third world war, I have another column idea in mind.
The roaring twenties were known for a variety of things, such as the pro-business, tax cutting Calvin Coolidge who cleaned up the huge corruption of the Harding regime and led up to the opposition dictatorship of the first of the CFR puppets, Herbert Hoover. They (the secret societies that encompass the CFR) did not seem to appreciate him cutting taxes and limiting the size of the federal government, especially the government coffers that they drew wealth and power from, so they instituted the Great Depression to get people to believe that conservative government is not the way to go although all of the other nations of the world came out of that depression rapidly and healthy, the US stayed in it even throughout World War Two as they controlled everything to keep us poor, dumb and obedient to their war lust.

The Twenties also gave us jazz, the flappers, the rise of the automobile for just about everyone to enjoy and the popularity of the silver screen as a way to keep us mind drugged and happy in the same manner as the Roman Coliseum games did for the emperors. Then enter the democrats and the ban on liquors or even any sort of alcohol consumption. Yep, mandated morals by an immoral government never did amount to much authority or respect or adherence to the law just as happens today.
The Jazz Age gave us one other thing that still lends itself to modern movie scripts that hold our attention and gathers our dollars for the entertainment barons; Gangsters and their exploits. There have always been gangsters just as there has always been the crime to feed them and the laws to attempt to stop them. Prohibition led to the eruption of far more powerful gangsters as the prohibiting of any wanted item leads to the underground and black marketing of those products, whether drugs, prostitution, low end illegal copies of high end products, or piracy of just about anything under strict controls whether government or private such as copyright laws on books, music, movies and more. The opportunity for easy gains in wealth led to bootleg exploitation of that enterprise.
But they, the feds, came up with a game plan to slow the exploits of those robber chiefs by fighting fire with fire. The gangsters owned the crime market after the government took the free market away and they enforced their ownership with brute force. Pay the local mob boss a good portion of your illegal earnings from your underground bar that was often called a “speakeasy” or you were messed up good. Do it again and you were snuffed out. You bought your product through the mobs connections or you were deprived of your life. They also kept involved in other aspects of their business that were around well before prohibition such as the trafficking of girls for the gentlemen’s uses but extended that offering into the bars themselves for easier control of the girls. This brought about many opportunities for blackmail and extortion; another major product of those gangsters.
