Hells Angels: Hybrid Warfare Non-State Actors
The Soviets started infiltrating organized crime in 1955. The Hells Angels have ties to KGB/FSB assets, the Red Devils MC in China, Mexican Drug Cartels, Putin's Night Wolves, and Henry Kissinger.
The Soviet Union updated the Leninist world revolutionary strategy starting in 1954.
The fourth step was to infiltrate organized crime and establish Soviet Bloc sponsored and controlled organized crime syndicates throughout the world.
“Moscow's decision on organised crime was made in 1955. It, too, was to be a global operation targeted against all countries, not just the United States, although organised crime in the United States, along with France, Great Britain, Germany and Italy, were primary targets. The main reason for infiltrating organised crime was the Soviet belief that high-quality information - information on political corruption, money and business, international relations, drug-trafficking, and counter-intelligence - was to be found in organised crime…
As in the case of drug-trafficking, the Soviets put together study groups to analyse organised crime, to identify the main criminal groups, to develop a strategy and tactics for infiltrating the groups, to identify what people could be used to promote infiltration, and to examine the possibility for organising or helping to organise new criminal franchises” (Douglass 1999, pg. 17-18).

The Origin of Drug Warfare Operations Against the United States
In 1999, two Chinese colonels wrote the book Unrestricted Warfare, argued that war was no longer about armies facing each other on a battlefield, but rather, “using all means, including armed force or non-armed force, military and non-military, and lethal and non-lethal means to compel the enemy to accept one’s interests.” The division between soldiers and civilians would be erased because the battle would be everywhere and include financial warfare, trade warfare, cultural warfare, legal warfare, and many others. Colonel Qiao argued, “The first rule of unrestricted warfare is that there are no rules, with nothing forbidden.” Non-military tactics would occur prior to any formal declaration of war, and they would be a mixture of “covert and overt; licit and illicit” activities. Combatants would be representative of the population: civilians, businessmen, politicians, servicemembers, entrepreneurs, criminals, and terrorists, all constantly shifting between roles. China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other violent extremist organizations (VEOs) have been using gray zone methods such as cyber, information, and especially drug warfare against the American population for decades.
The Russian Mafia and Chinese criminal organizations have become the backbone of the Latin American drug cartels, providing precursor chemicals and laundering tens of billions of dollars in illicit profits. The Russian and Chinese governments backed organized crime by suppling military-grade weapons to Latin American drug cartels for drug warfare operations against the United States. General Glen VanHerck, the head of U.S. Northern Command, stated to the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee that "the largest portion of the GRU members is in Mexico right now. Those are Russian intelligence personnel." Narcotics are a geopolitical tool to pivot the center of power toward Asia.
The war on drugs is constantly blamed on the weakness of society, capitalism, and Americans demand for illicit substances, but all the evidence proves that is false and deliberate misinformation. Demand for both heroin during the Vietnam War and today’s fentanyl was nonexistent until suppliers flooded a targeted region with those drugs and achieved addiction through covert means by lacing them with substances considered less or non-addictive, such as cigarettes and marijuana. The artificially depressed prices for a higher-purity drugs showed profit was not the primary motive…
HELLS ANGELS RUSSIA MC
“The club was created at the end of 2002, with about ten members and prospectuses of Night Wolves MC – first and one of the most powerful MC in 1980-90 Russia.”
Hells Angels member Alexander Bely, a former Soviet citizen who immigrated to South Africa in the late 1980s, was arrested in 2006 before being extradited to Russia in February 2013, alleged to have organized the delivery of 224 kilograms of ephedrine and laundering over ₽34.5 million (around $1.2 million). Bely, along with Andrei Bykov and Bykov's spouse, cousin, adopted daughter and her husband, allegedly obtained the drug from the Hells Angels in South Africa and delivered it to St. Petersburg, passing it off as bath salts.12
In 2023, one of Australia’s major organized crime figures, Hells Angels’ boss Felix Lyle, died in Russia and after he spent a lot of time in Asia.
“Lyle had moved to Russia six months earlier for cancer treatment and was living with his son Dallas Fitzgerald, also a Hells Angel member, who fled Australia for Russia following a spate of murders including that of his close associate Pasquale Barbaro…”3
Putin’s Angels-Hybrid Warfare Operatives
The Night Wolves: Russian Motorcycle Club or Kremlin Militia? | Military.com
The Night Wolves, Nochnye Volki, are a Russian motorcycle club that has been implicated in Kremlin-sponsored covert operations in Ukraine and in the Russian takeover of Crimea.
“They have received substantial funding from the Kremlin; with estimates ranging from tens of millions of rubles to several hundred million rubles. The group prides itself on its strident Russian nationalism, a curious mixture of Soviet and traditional Russian iconography…
They acknowledge Vladimir Putin as their hero, openly declaring that they are willing to die for him. They decorate their clubhouses, emblems and clothing with pictures of Joseph Stalin, depicting him as a Russian hero and role model for Russian youth.”
The Night Wolves portray themselves as flag bearers of ancient Russian traditions and many wear the crosses of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Alexander “The Surgeon” Zaldastanov is the leader of the Night Wolves, founded in 1989, and Russia's largest motorcycle club. He was awarded the Medal "For the Return of Crimea" by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
In July 2022, Zaldastanov was sanctioned along with other Night Wolves leaders by the EU for the group’s propaganda efforts in support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that began earlier the same year. His organization has organized various rallies, concerts, and fundraisers in support of Russian affiliated separatist groups.4
Zaldastanov describes his mother as a "convinced communist", but he says that the family still prayed to Russian Orthodox icons.5 He sees the root cause as the erosion of community prompted by capitalism.
"Bourgeois individualism is accepted by Russian people," he growls. "The old Soviet Union lost some good things. There is too much individualism. Russia is thirsty for community. We have community."6
Night Wolves and the “KGB Church”
The Night Wolves promote the Eastern Orthodox Church that was one of the first institutions infiltrated by the KGB. The Moscow Patriarchate can only trace its history to 1943, when Joseph Stalin summoned the three highest-ranking bishops to the Kremlin and told them he was going to legalize the Orthodox Church.
“KGB colonel Georgy Karpov, whose signature is on the letter instructing local KGB chiefs on how to select the delegates, was decorated with the Order of the Red Banner of Labor for organizing the 1945 council. He was known for extreme cruelty during the Great Purge. He is also part of the church's history: for seventeen years he headed the Council for the Affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church—which is to say he de facto governed the church in a way similar to that of the Ober-Procurator of the Most Holy Synod…
The proof of the church leadership's deep association with the KGB could have compromised the church before the believers and the new government. Who would have wanted a "KGB church" associated with the outgoing Soviet elites? But the documents were buried in the archives while the church was busy canonizing thousands of victims of the state terror, enjoying the nation's support as a long-suffering institution, and getting its property back.”7
“Patriarch Kirill reportedly carried out espionage activities while living in Geneva as the official representative of the Moscow Patriarchate at the World Council of Churches (WCC). The mission of Kirill, whose code name was “Mikhailov”, was also to influence this council, which had been infiltrated by the KGB in the 1970s and 1980s.”8
Hells Angels and China
The Red Devils Motorcycle Club (RDMC) is an international outlaw motorcycle club and the principal support club of the Hells Angels.9
Ex-Sûreté du Québec officer François Doré stated that the Red Devils are a “support club” young men join with the goal of working their way up to becoming full-blown Hells Angels members. “They form this kind of support team called the Red Devils that are doing the business for the Hells Angels, for the major team I would say, so it’s about drug dealing, money laundering,” Doré said.10
Yang Hancheng, 37, is the president of Red Devils MC China, the Shanghai chapter of a multinational motorcycle club represented in nearly 20 countries. Yang counts Hells Angels members among his “good friends.”11
In June 2012, 19 members and Hells Angels associates, some of which were members of the Red Devils Motorcycle Club, were arrested in a law enforcement sting operation for drug and prostitution charges.12
On March 19, 2022, Red Devils and Hells Angels bikers were involved in a gun battle with members of the Infamous Ryders and La Familia motorcycle clubs outside the Baymont Ramada hotel in Fayetteville, North Carolina.13
The illegal drug trade in China is a major source of precursor chemicals necessary for the production of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, MDMA and crystal methamphetamine. China is also a leading exporter of bulk ephedrine and has been a source country for much of the ephedrine and pseudoephedrine imported into Mexico; these precursor chemicals are subsequently used to manufacture methamphetamine destined for the United States.
The Chinese Government owns and operates ephedra farms, where ephedra grass is cultivated under strict government control. Ephedra is precursor in the clandestine manufacture of methamphetamine.14
The Red Devils MC is a feeder club for the Hells Angels, also has a MC in China, who is trafficking in methamphetamine and fentanyl?
The Hells Angels, who has many military veterans as members, is aiding and abetting foreign adversaries (Communist China and Russia) in gray zone drug warfare operations against the United States.
'Chemical Warfare by Indigenous Methods'
“As soon as Mao secured his power in 1949, opium production was nationalized and drug use was outlawed. Opium trafficking used against non-communists became a state-sanctioned activity in the People's Republic of China. The primary targets were Japan, United States military personnel stationed in East Asia, and the mainland United States…
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Zhou Enlai orchestrated China's covert narcotics warfare operation. In the early 1970s, data shows there was a huge surge in drug addiction among US servicemembers stationed in Southeast Asia and Europe. Heroin was available outside every American base in Vietnam and was supplied to the local population by the Chinese. The reaction of the US military to the drug crisis was to deny the existence of a problem and then blame it on the poor quality of recruits. But there is no question as to what caused the increase in drug use: It was due to flooding a target area with drugs, high-pressure marketing techniques, and artificially depressed prices. Prostitutes were used to push drugs on unsuspecting servicemen, and addiction was acquired covertly by mixing opium and heroin into drugs that weren’t considered addictive, such as marijuana and cigarettes. Heroin was also sold as cocaine, which at the time was not considered addictive. We are seeing the same techniques used in the past that they are using with fentanyl today.”
Cali Cartel & KGB/FSB
Alexander Litvinenko provided a detailed narcotics trafficking diagram showing relationships between Russian government officials, Russian mafia, and implicating Vladimir Putin in narcotics trafficking and money laundering.15
According to Litvinenko, Putin, while he was Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs of St Petersburg in the early 1990s, organized an Afghanistan origin heroin supply ring and later FSB officers including the Izmaylovskaya Russian mafia and Uzbek networks in America. These networks also supplied Europe and America with cocaine from the Cali KGB cartel.
The Ismailovskaya mafia is closely associated with Oleg Deripaska, Andrei Bokarev, Michael Cherney, and Iskander Makhmudov through their Switzerland-based Blond Investment Corporation's MIB bank account.
Former Ukrainian presidential bodyguard Nikolai Melnichenko bugged the following conversation between Ukrainian President Leonid Kuchma and his security chief Leonid Derkach about SPAG:1617
Leonid Derkach: Leonid Danilovich. We've got some interesting material here from the Germans. One of them has been arrested.
Leonid Kuchma (reading aloud): Ritter, Rudolf Ritter.
Leonid Derkach: Yes, and about that affair, the drug smuggling. Here are the documents. They gave them all out. Here's Vova Putin, too.
Leonid Kuchma: There's something about Putin there?
Leonid Derkach: The Russians have already been buying everything up. Here are all the documents. We're the only ones that still have them now. I think that [FSB chief] Nikolai Patrushev is coming from the 15th to the 17th. This will give him something to work with. This is what we'll keep. They want to shove the whole affair under the carpet.
Later in the conversation Derkach states that "they've bought up all these documents throughout Europe and only the rest are in our hands."
Using Israel as its base, Russian mafia moved heroin and Colombian cocaine, sometimes through Venezuela, through Israel, where money laundering would occur of the narcotics profits, to Saint Petersburg.18
Sinaloa Cartel & Hells Angels
Jimmy Cournoyer was sentenced to 27 years in prison, because he was the principal leader of a Montreal-based drug distribution organization affiliated with the Rizutto and Bonanno crime families, the Hells Angels, and the Sinaloa Cartel. A superseding indictment charged Cournoyer with trafficking more than $1 billion worth of marijuana, cocaine, and ecstasy into the United States between 1998 and 2012.19
In 2019, a key government witness at the trial of Mexican Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman testified that he met with Canadian Hells Angels on behalf of the cartel to arrange the hit of a drug dealer.20
On February 23, 2022, Damion Ryan, a full patch Hells Angels member with the Attica chapter in Greece, was arrested in Ontario, which was a huge disruption to the supply chain of drugs and guns that he helped facilitate.21 Through different means from various targets, Project Divergent officers seized:
110 kilos of cocaine
41.4 kilos of methamphetamine
3 kilos of fentanyl
.5 kilos of MDMA
14 handguns
5 assault-style rifles, and
More than $445,000 in Canadian currency
MK Ultra “Brain Warfare” Links to Soviet assets and the Hells Angels
Project MK-Ultra was an illegal human experimentation program headed by Sidney Gottlieb but began on the order of CIA director Allen Dulles on April 13, 1953. Its aim was to develop mind-controlling drugs for use against the Soviet bloc in response to Soviet, Chinese, and North Korean use of mind control techniques on U.S. POWs during the Korean War.2223
Military veterans who were subjected to experimentation were given LSD and other drugs without their knowledge. MKUltra’s activities were carried out under the guise of research at more than 80 institutions, including colleges and universities, hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies.
At the invitation of Stanford psychology graduate student Vik Lovell, an acquaintance of Richard Alpert and Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey volunteered to take part in what turned out to be a CIA-financed study under the aegis of MKUltra, at the Menlo Park Veterans' Hospital. The project studied the effects of psychoactive drugs, particularly LSD, psilocybin, mescaline, cocaine, AMT, DMT, MDMA (ecstasy), heroin, barbiturates, and methamphetamine.
Kesey later went on to promote the drug, hosting LSD-fueled parties that he called “Acid Tests.” Acid Tests combined drug use with musical performances by bands including the Grateful Dead and psychedelic effects such as fluorescent paint and black lights. These parties influenced the early development of hippie culture and kick-started the 1960s psychedelic drug scene.
Other notable people who reportedly volunteered for CIA-backed experiments with LSD include Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead lyricist; Ted Kaczynski, better known as the “Unabomber”; and James Joseph “Whitey” Bulger, the notorious Boston mobster.24
Alexander Shulgin “The Grandfather of Ecstasy” was a psychopharmacologist and credited with introducing MDMA, commonly known as "ecstasy,” to psychologists in the late 1970s for psychopharmaceutical use.
Shulgin went on to create an amphetamine called DOM, which at the time was second only to LSD in potency. “In 1967, Brooklynite chemist Nick Sand realized the drug’s market potential. He built an industrial laboratory in San Francisco where he cooked DOM in a 150-gallon soup vessel and sold it by the kilo to the Hells Angels, who rode across America unleashing tens of thousands of excessively potent 20-mg DOM tablets on the public. The influx caused hordes of hippies to freak out at the Golden Gate Park Human Be-In.”25
Shulgin was a Bohemian Club member along with Henry Kissinger (accused Soviet “agent of influence” in the CIA archives) and Edgar Kaiser Sr.26 The Bohemian club is located in California where Shulgin lived and refers to "The Owl Club" in chapter 11 of PiHKAL:
During coffee, after the music was over, he struck up a conversation. He asked me if I had ever heard of The Owl Club in San Francisco? I had not, so he began painting a picture of a rather fascinating group, with many interests in all sorts of art, drama and music. He mentioned that there was need for a viola player, and would I be interested in sitting in for a couple of evenings? ... The Club proved to be a group of gentlemen from a broad array of political and professional backgrounds, leaning somewhat toward the political right and the well-to-do. ... At my first evening at the Club... Andrew was appointed my Pater Familias ..."
— PiHKAL, First Printing, Eleventh Edition, Chapter 11, pp. 60–6527
Timothy Leary and his associates (notably Richard Alpert) began a research program known as the Harvard Psilocybin Project. Leary and Allen Ginsberg began introducing psychedelics to intellectuals and artists including Jack Kerouac, Maynard Ferguson, Charles Mingus and Charles Olson.
From 1954 to 1958, Leary directed psychiatric research at the Kaiser Family Foundation. The Kaiser Family Foudation was founded by American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser and is the father of Edgar Kaiser, Sr who was a member of the Bohemian Club along with Henry Kissinger.
Allen Ginsberg was a student at Columbia University in the 1940s and the son of Louis Ginsberg and Naomi Levy, born in Nevel (Russia) and a Marxist and an active member of the Communist Party. Allen Ginsberg was also a member of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), a pedophilia and pederasty advocacy organization.28
Nicholas Sand (born Nicholas Francis Hiskey) work as a clandestine chemist from 1966 to 1996 for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love and has been credited as the first underground chemist to have synthesized DMT and is known for manufacturing large amounts of LSD.29
Nick Sand’s Family Ties to the KGB
Sand’s father, Clarence Hiskey (Clarence Szczechowski), worked at the Tennessee Valley Authority and the University of Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory, part of the Manhattan Project. Hiskey was active in the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and was a Soviet espionage agent in the United States. In 1944, a message sent by New York KGB to Moscow Venona project was intercepted and the message contained information reporting that Bernard Schuster, member of the CPUSA secret apparatus, working for Soviet intelligence, had traveled to Chicago on the KGB's instructions. On 28 April 1944, Army counterintelligence (G-2) observed a meeting between Clarence Hiskey and Soviet Military Intelligence (GRU) officer Arthur Adams. In June 1953, Hiskey was interrogated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy:
Sen. McCarthy: "Were you engaged in atomic energy espionage?"
Mr. Hiskey: "I refuse to answer that question."
The Brotherhood of Eternal Love
“In May 1967, Stanley introduced Scully to Nick Sand and instructed Scully to teach Sand how to make STP (AKA “DOM“ [by Alexander Shulgin]). Stanley had instructed Scully in February 1967 to retool the first Denver lab to also manufacture STP. Sand took this newfound knowledge to found D&H Custom Research in San Francisco. This lab produced STP on a commercial scale which he sold to the Hells Angels and the Brotherhood of Eternal Love.”30
The Brotherhood of Eternal Love began to distribute – often for free – their own brand of LSD called Orange Sunshine, with funds raised from the smuggling of Afghan hashish, which they brought directly from Kabul and Kandahar, via Karachi, Istanbul, Frankfurt and London. It was an audacious global smuggling operation, with drugs stashed in musical instruments,
According to Michael Randall, a formative member of the Brotherhood, the plan was to drive down the price of LSD through mass production – to distribute “so much Orange Sunshine that it would become virtually free. We had a deep spiritual commitment to what we were doing”.
Brotherhood members, christened the ‘Hippie Mafia’ by the police, used multiple identities to evade detection, but remained socially and politically influential. In 1970, after helping [Timothy] Leary escape a Californian jail, the Brotherhood gave $25,000 to the Black Panthers, who in turn passed it on to the radical left-wing group, the Weather Underground, to smuggle Leary to Algeria and then to Afghanistan.
But, in addition to sharing Leary’s goals of promoting spiritual transcendence through the use of psychedelic drugs, the Brotherhood was also one of the largest drug smuggling and distribution organizations in the country.
In December of 1968, Leary was arrested again in Laguna Beach for possession of marijuana. By that point, the arresting officer, Neil Purcell, had been trying to bust the Brotherhood for two years.31
The Brotherhood paid thousands of dollars to the Weathermen — a radical organization that opposed American imperialism — to help facilitate the escape and to smuggle Leary and his wife out of the country.
Eventually, the Learys made their way to the Black Panther Party’s Government-in-Exile in Algeria. However, Leary and his wife’s frequent partying conflicted with the austerity and sobriety of the Panthers, causing Panther leader Eldridge Cleaver to put them under house arrest.
Next, Leary and his wife escaped to Switzerland, where they came to live with Michel Hauchard, an arms dealer who said that he sheltered Leary because he had an “obligation to protect philosophers.”
However, Hauchard forced Leary to sign over 30 percent of the proceeds of any future books he wrote. He then got Leary arrested, under the assumption that he would be a more productive writer in prison.
The Learys escaped again, then separated. Rosemary Leary spent most of the next two decades as a fugitive back in the United States while Leary was finally arrested by the American Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs in Kabul, Afghanistan in 1972. He was then sent to Folsom Prison.32
Eldridge Cleaver had declared drug use "counter-revolutionary."33
On September 5, 1970, Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, introduced his theory of intercommunalism at the Revolutionary People’s Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
“The logic of the thesis of intercommunalism is: imperialism leads to ‘reactionary intercommunalism’ to ‘revolutionary intercommunalism’ to pure communism and anarchy.”34
Huey Newton of the Black Panthers meets the head of Communist China’s drug warfare operation Zhou Enlai. Newton is also arrested for drug trafficking. It wasn’t the f*ck ups at the CIA who drugged inner city neighborhoods, it was the communists and their agents imbedded in the State Department like Henry Kissinger.
Tucker “Communitarian” Carlson and the Hells Angels
Tucker “The Communitarian Con-man” Carlson, who works for ‘Red Rupert’ Murdoch’s Fox News gives a eulogy at Hells Angels leader Sonny Barger's funeral in 2022.
"Red Rupert" Murdoch - Divided & Conquered (substack.com)
“At the Rawkus office in New York, James [Murdoch] hung a poster of Chairman Mao on his wall. (The statement unwittingly—or maybe not—mimicked his father’s own political evolution: at Oxford, Rupert had kept a bust of Lenin in his room.)”
Newly declassified documents show that, as at Cambridge, the Soviet Union fought to recruit talented students at Oxford University.
“The KGB was also active at Oxford, where its strategy to enlist Stalin’s best and brightest young Englishmen, and women, was the same as at Cambridge: recruit promising graduates, who would purposefully distance themselves from all outward associations with communism, thus making their communist loyalties difficult if not impossible to detect, and then let them loose to join the Civil Service with the aim of burrowing, as moles, deep into sensitive British government departments.”
Are you getting the connection yet? Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, Benjamin Netanyahu, Henry Kissinger, Rupert Murdoch, and Tucker Carlson are ALL working together to destroy the United States.
I don’t think most Hells Angels and other 1% MCs know they are working for the enemy as hybrid warfare non-state actors, but the few at the very top recruiting Night Wolves into their Russian Hells Angels chapters must know.
I highly recommend EVERYONE read Red Cocaine: Drugging of America and the West by Dr. Joseph D. Douglass.
Red Cocaine, The Soviet Drugging of America and the West (lander.odessa.ua)
Military veterans who joined 1% MC gangs need to have a hard look in the mirror and reevaluate their life choices.
I come from at least 3 generations who have served this country honorably. My great grandfather was an immigrant to Chicago from Eastern Europe and a WWII veteran. My grandfather was an immigrant from Warsaw, Poland who survived both the Polish-Soviet War and the 1939 attack on Warsaw by both the Nazis and the Soviets. I was raised in the Southside of Chicago by my stepfather who was an Army Ranger in Vietnam. He had 4 Purple Hearts and left the LZ with a knife sticking out of his chest. I met my husband almost 20 years ago in the Army. We spent 4 of our first 8 years together apart due to opposite training schedules, then multiple deployments. My husband left my hospital room just 14 hours after I gave birth to our daughter to deploy to Iraq. My 4-month-old daughter and I were on Ft. Hood on during the 2009 Ft. Hood shooting when Maj. Hasan opened fire on the Soldier Readiness Processing Center. All the soldiers deployed were running to the phones in Iraq and Afganistan to see if their loved ones stationed back at Ft. Hood were still alive while in a warzone, including my husband. That was also the deployment where the crew chief office was mortared with him in it.
That’s honor, that’s sacrifice.

ORGANIZED CRIME IN CALIFORNIA Annual Report to the Legislature 2003
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, during the 1970s and 1980s, approximately 200,000 former Soviet Union citizens immigrated to the United States to escape religious and political persecution. Additionally, it is suspected that the KGB emptied its prisons of hardcore criminals and exported them to this country — much like Cuban dictator Fidel Castro did during the “Mariel boat-lift.” Many former Soviet Union emigres who came to the United States settled in an area of New York known as Brighton Beach…
Today, the Hells Angels is considered by authorities to be one of the largest drug distribution organizations in the United States. The Hells Angels has been known to traffic methamphetamine, amphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, hashish, LSD, heroin, PCP, ecstasy, methaqualone, seconal, steroids, STP, MDA, mescaline, and other drugs…
There are five major prison gangs operating in California correctional facilities: Mexican Mafia (EME), Nuestra Familia (NF), Black Guerilla Family (BGF), Aryan Brotherhood (AB), and Nazi Low Riders (NLR).
2011 National Gang Threat Assessment — FBI
Gang Alliances and Collaboration
Collaboration between rival gangs and criminal organizations and increased improvement in communications, transportation, and technology have enabled national-level gangs to expand and secure their criminal networks throughout the United States and in other countries.
According to NGIC reporting, gang members in California are collaborating with members of rival gangs to further criminal activities such as drug distribution, prostitution of minors, and money laundering.
Gangs in the correctional system are committing crimes for other gangs in an effort to confuse and evade law enforcement.
Gang Sophistication
Many gangs are engaging in more sophisticated criminal schemes, including white-collar and cyber-crime, targeting and infiltrating sensitive systems to gain access to sensitive areas or information, and targeting and monitoring law enforcement.
Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations
MDTOs are among the most prominent DTOs largely because of their control over the production of most drugs consumed in the United States. They are known to regularly collaborate with US-based street and prison gang members and occasionally work with select OMG and White Supremacist groups, purely for financial gain (see Appendix B).
NGIC law enforcement partners report that gangs in their jurisdiction have ties to Mexican criminal organizations, such as MDTOs.
According to 2010 California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and open-source reporting, some Aryan Brotherhood and La Eme prison gang members—bitter rivals inside prison—work together with MDTOs to smuggle drugs into California and prisons, steal vehicles, smuggle illegal weapons into Mexico, and intimidate rivals of the Mexican cartels.
