DVD Review: Famous narcotics kingpins Blanco and Cosby
Summary: 2 Stars
Cocaine Cowboys II: the Godmother (2008) is a biographical work,
about a famous narcotics kingpin, Griselda Blanco ("GB"). She was
the USA representative of the Medellin cartel from the early 70's
to the 80's for powder distribution, eventually forced to go solo
from rubbing her bosses the wrong way in South America one too many
times, and P Escobar being eliminated.
By virtue of being locked up in a FCI (Federal Correctional
Institution), GB made up her mind in selecting someone to delegate
oversee and expand current business operations, at her own level.
This trusted man, was Charles Anthony Cosby, based in in Brookfield
Village, Oakland, California, whom noone could match in terms of
the personal rapport and relationship he was able to establish with
GB.
This allowed CC's status as a street narcotics dealer or clocker
to rise ever higher time and again, from the success demonstrated
in all aspects of operations and assignments, at length covering
NY, Virginia, Carolinas, LA and Seattle regions, to the point that
GB's gross was $50 mil/yr.
The film lays out the street-level violence, such as kidnappings,
robberies, shakedowns of dealers, drive by shootings, setups,
retaliation. Mayhem and rubout victims reach all ages, On the
streets, 65 hoodlums drop every month. The collection of illegal
debts is uncompromising, resulting in hits time and again.
Paradoxically, GB is said to have declined to repay lenders and
order hits. Contracts on people are common, reaching at times as
high as $1 mil per hoodlum, explaing why owning a AR-180 rifle is
a minimum in protection.
The egomaniacal nature of the head honcho position is shown, in
rubouts being carried out as thoughtlessly and frequently as
chewing a pack of gum and spewing it. In excess of 250 hits are
said to be attributable to GB, a life-size bronze statue replica
existing, as well as mansions, penthouses on luxury apartment
complexes, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Rolex, jewelry of all sorts,
apparel, etc.
The financial aspects are minimally touched upon, as Panamanian
banks laundering the cash proceeds, and send it off to Colombian
suppliers and interests.
The story goes into the psychological landscape of members, such as
kidnapping schemes to gain release from jail terms, the thinking of
hitmen, etc.
The intended audience of this work, is not the same as the first in
the series, this one clearly being a notch below, as suggested by
ane actual recipe to transform powder into crack over 5 minutes, or
the laying out of logistics and deals and bridge financing on
consignments, profit margins. Figures advanced are 5 large a day, 1
mil per week in sales possibly 10 mil, for a 10% commission.
Another example is 5 kg generating $2 mil in sales over 3 weeks.
The movie wraps up suggesting GB is responsible for the import and
distibution and consumption by Americans of at least 300 tons of
powder, and over a billion in revenue over the 10 to 15 years she
ran operations.
