I doubt we will hear much about them, as they were originally sponsored by the CIA, just like we sponsored the Mujahedeen. In the absolute terror of competing with communism on a level playing field the upper crust of capitalism would prefer to deal with any kind of criminal, until it gets it's ass in a sling and creates a monster who turns on it, then even communism will seem half way OK, Don't forget while Churchill, & F.D.R didn't trust Stalin, they often refered to him quite fondly as "Uncle Joe"; when they needed him.

There is a dearth of real reporters in the media---too busy staring at Clinton's navel and parts south of...but I have seen articles in the Sunday Oregonian and on local news about the nefarious new Russians in town. I think it may be a regional topic in the Pacific NW and not discussed nationwide.

Hello, Bonnie. The FDIC, more than a year and a half ago, uncovered evidence of organised criminal elements in-control of certain banks in the U.S. However, since it is beyond their charter to do anything more, the FDIC reported the discovery to the U.S. Congress. Not much further detail, only that Congress refused to act on the evidence. I thought it odd, when this was first told to me, that the FDIC should be the one uncovering something of this nature. But, on second thought, who better?
