Street prices around Europe have risen by up to 30 percent, but it is not clear how much of this is due to distribution problems, and how much to drug gangs taking advantage of homebound customers.
What is clear is that cocaine continues to flow from South America to Europe and North America. Closed trafficking routes have been replaced with new ones, and street deals have been substituted with door-to-door deliveries.
In Colombia, the world’s largest producer of cocaine, lockdowns and government eradication efforts have curbed some production, while travel restrictions have shut down some significant export routes, such as speedboats. In destination markets in Europe and the United States, authorities are still seizing large hauls with remarkable frequency — a sign that drug smugglers are still doing a brisk trade.
For over a month, OCCRP reporters in Europe and Latin America tracked announcements of seizures and spoke to law enforcement officials, analysts and sources within the cocaine trade.
They found an industry that has proved nimble at finding ways around the unprecedented global lockdown and quarantine measures. The cocaine trade is thriving in a world where even mainstays like oil are facing major disruptions.
As many countries begin partially reopening their economies, traffickers may now be in a position to become more powerful than ever. With economies in distress and many businesses facing ruin, cash-rich narcos may be able to cheaply buy their way into an even bigger share of the legitimate economy.
‘Stashes are Everywhere’
The pandemic initially affected production in the South American countries where coca leaves are grown and processed into cocaine. But that downturn in output never curtailed the trade, because most drug gangs have large amounts of stored drugs on hand.
In Peru, where roughly 20 percent of the world’s cocaine is produced, public health lockdowns imposed by local communities brought coca growing and paste production to a standstill, according to Pedro Yaranga, a Peruvian security analyst.
“What in nearly four years the drug control agency could not do, the coronavirus did in a few weeks,” he said.
In Bolivia, which produces about one tenth of the world’s coca, the picture is reversed, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
In that country, “COVID-19 is limiting the ability of state authorities to control coca bush cultivation, which could lead to an increase in coca production,” the UNODC said in a May 7 report.

“The perception of the population is that [the government] is taking advantage of the quarantine and people being stuck in their homes to eradicate” coca, said Jorge Elías Ricardo Rada, the head of a union that represents small farmers’ interests in the region of Cordoba. “They take away what little the people have.”
In Catatumbo, a region near the Venezuelan border, “the business is practically paralyzed,” said Giovanny Mejía Cantor, an independent journalist based in Ocaña, the region’s main city. Normally, the area produces enough coca in a year to make 84 tons of pure cocaine, but this has slowed to a trickle.
“Communities have gone onto the road and set up blockades to prevent people from entering their village out of fear of coronavirus,” said Mejía, adding that this has hindered the movement of raw materials needed in production, including coca leaves and chemicals.
The country’s biggest exporting cartel, however, does not appear to have suffered. Members of Colombia’s Gulf Clan said they had been able to fall back on stockpiles built up before the pandemic, as well as coca leaves from smaller farms that are still functioning and don’t require a big workforce.
The Gulf Clan stronghold lies in Urabá, in Colombia’s northwest, a strategic region with coca plantations, laboratories, and export ports. The group typically has roughly 40 to 45 tons of processed cocaine stored in that area, roughly two months’ worth of exports, according to a Gulf Clan member, who asked to be identified as “Raúl.” He declined to be named because doing so would put him in legal and physical danger.

The Colombian navy also found that cocaine producers have easily adapted to challenges in moving their product. The United States, up north, is their largest single customer.
Traditionally, smugglers have used small, very fast speedboats, as well as fishing vessels and submarines, to ply their northern route. Lockdowns have made these methods harder to use, mainly for logistical reasons. So instead, smugglers are turning back to older, slower routes that are often broken up in parts.
Based on several sources in northern Colombia, including Raúl and a coca grower, OCCRP was able to roughly trace six new or revived routes believed to be currently used by traffickers. These include routes into Panama through indigenous areas.
Members of the Kuna indigenous people are bringing drugs overland, making small boat runs up coastal waters. In the Darien Gap, a thick, mountainous jungle on the frontier of Colombia and Panama, cocaine is being hauled by caravans of up to two dozen backpack-toting porters.

“But rough sleeping is as much a health issue, as it is a housing issue. It’s a crisis of addiction and mental health as well.
“So we will provide specialist support staff for rough sleepers in this new accommodation to ensure that they can continue to receive the health support that they will need to transform their lives and fulfil their potential.”
Mr Jenrick said 90% of rough sleepers were offered accommodation during the pandemic and they hope to limit how maybe people return to the streets.
“Because of the action that we’ve already taken, for the first time in my lifetime, we know who the vast majority of rough sleepers are and where they’re living.
“That means that we can assess each individual’s needs and tailor the support that we provide next.”

LABOUR Loudmouth Angela Rayner broke social distancing rules, despite calling our under-fire Dominic Cummings, Politicalite can reveal.
Dominic Cummings defended his decision to drive to County Durham during the coronavirus lockdown, arguing that he believed he behaved “reasonably” and did not regret his actions.
Last week, Cummings held a Press Conference that boxing promoter Eddie Hearn described as a Pay Per View event given the massive ratings.
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said the press conference was “painful to watch” and slammed Cummings.
The Manchester MP said: “He clearly broke the rules, the Prime Minister has failed to act in the National interest. He should have never allowed this situation with a member of his staff,” she added.
Yet, Rayner was papped breaking much more crucial social distancing rules in Manchester last week.
In a now-deleted post on social media, Sean Fielding the leader of Oldham Council deleted the incriminating post.
There have been many calls for Dom to resign, but many on the right feel the attacks are to do with halting Brexit.
Cummings is widely seen as the mastermind behind the Vote Leave campaign.

TOUGH times and it’s been just over two months since the British PM, Boris Johnson, ordered us all to stay home.
As part of that, he encouraged anyone who can work from home to do so (and still does). But what does this mean for the internet itself?
Varying internet speeds
Depending on where you are in the world, you may have experienced some or little change in your internet speed. In Ofcom’s Home Broadband Performance, the regulator reported a drop of 2% in download speeds and of 1% in upload ones. These stats are based on tests during surges before the lockdown and after it.
As it became apparent the British government were going to impose a lockdown, broadband service providers had stated they’d be able to cope with heavier demand. Companies such as YouTube and Netflix have reduced the quality of content to help networks cope easier with the demand.
In the US, however, users have experienced considerable drops in download speed. Downloading documents and videos has taken longer. Research has reported drops of 38% median download speeds in San Jose, California, and of 24% in New York. Outside of the US, in Hubei Province, which was the epicentre of infections, mobile broadband speeds
Remote working platforms struggling to meet demand
In some parts of the world, internet usage is up as much as 50%, according to the World Economic Forum website which quotes data from Vodafone, as people have carried more of their lives over to the online sphere and people are no longer working from the office.
There have been reports of remote working platforms such as Microsoft Teams and video conferencing platform struggling to cope with demand, especially in the US. Although both companies rushed to develop the platforms for the tidal wave ahead, they weren’t able to build them up in time and capacity finally outstripped demand in the early stages of lockdown.
New packages available
Broadband service providers know they have a massive part to play in helping people stay connected during the pandemic. They’ve offered new mobile phone deals and broadband packages to help make it possible and also allow customers to save a little money into the bargain. Some of these packages include data boosts for lower prices and free calls from mobile phones or home phones. Service providers are also working with customers who can’t pay their bills.
Changing broadband providers isn’t impossible just now, especially if you already have the internet set up, but it could take longer if you need an engineer to install it for you. If the contract with your current service provider has expired, you’ll be free to switch to a new service provider and enjoy an introductory price. ISPsare still offering a wide range of broadband deals and as long as your contract has expired, you should have plenty of options to improve your expired broadband package.
You can use a postcode checker to check the availability in your area, Alternatively, you can contact your current service provider and negotiate a cheaper deal if you’re satisfied with their service.
The pandemic may have had an impact on internet speeds as people have had to rely more on the internet. That being said… broadband service providers are coping, in general, although some parts of the world may be experience slower internet than others.

Father, father, father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me
Questioning
(Where’s the love)
Yo what’s going on with the world, momma
(Where’s the love)
Yo people living like they ain’t got no mommas
(Where’s the love)
I think they all distracted by the drama and
Attracted to the trauma, mamma
(Where’s the love)
I think they don’t understand the concept or
The meaning of karma
(Where’s the love)
Overseas, yeah they trying to stop terrorism
(Where’s the love)
Over here on the streets the police shoot
The people put the bullets in ’em
(Where’s the love)
But if you only got love for your own race
(Where’s the love)
Then you’re gonna leave space for others to discriminate
(Where’s the love)
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate
Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how hate works and operates
Man, we gotta set it straight
Take control of your mind and just meditate
And let your soul just gravitate
To the love, so the whole world celebrate it
People killin’ people dyin’
Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preachin’?
Would you turn the other cheek again?
Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin’ on
Can’t we all just get along?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where’s the love)
It just ain’t the same, always in change
(Where’s the love)
New days are strange, is the world insane?
(Where’s the love)
Nation droppin’ bombs killing our little ones
(Where’s the love)
Ongoing suffering as the youth die young
(Where’s the love)
Where’s the love when a child gets murdered
Or a cop gets knocked down
Black lives not now
Everybody matter to me
All races, y’all don’t like what I’m sayin’? Haterade, tall cases
Everybody hate somebody
Guess we all racist
Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y’all hate this
All these protests with different colored faces
We was all born with a heart
Why we gotta chase it?
And every time I look around
Every time I look up, every time I look down
No one’s on a common ground
(Where’s the love)
And if you never speak truth then you never know how love sounds
(Where’s the love)
And if you never know love then you never know God, wow
(Where’s the love)
Where’s the love y’all? I don’t, I don’t know
Where’s the truth y’all? I don’t know
People killin’ people dyin’
Children hurtin’, I hear them cryin’
Could you practice what you preach?
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father, Father, Father help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questioning
(Where’s the love)
(Where’s the love)
Love is the key
(Where’s the love)
Love is the answer
(Where’s the love)
Love is the solution
(Where’s the love)
(Where’s the love)
They don’t want us to love
(Where’s the love)
Love is powerful
(Where’s the love)
(Where’s the love)
My mama asked me why I never vote never vote
‘Cause police men want me dead and gone (Dead and gone)
That election looking like a joke (Such a joke)
And the weed man still sellin’ dope
Somebody gotta give these niggas hope (Please hope)
All he ever wanted was a smoke (My gosh)
Said he can’t breathe with his hands in the air
Layin’ on the ground died from a choke
(Where’s the love)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
As I’m gettin’ older y’all people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin’
Selfishness got us followin’ the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas
What happened to the love and the values of humanity?
(Where’s the love)
What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?
(Where’s the love)
Instead of spreading love we’re spreading animosity
(Where’s the love)
Lack of understanding leading us away from unity
(Where’s the love)

BRITAIN’s leading lothario won’t be enjoying any more Bunga Bunga parties, as his government just banned shagging strangers to stop the spread of Coronavirus.
The crazy move to try to halt a second wave was mocked across the world last night.
It’s been branded a “sex ban”, though a junior minister said the regulations were aimed at keeping people safe.
One British woman told Politicalite: “So I can have a orgy with six people in my garden, but not with one man in my bedroom? These rules are ridiculous!”
Under amendments introduced to English rules on Monday, no person may participate in a gathering which takes place in a public or private place indoors and consists of two or more persons.
Britain’s tabloid media cast it as a “bonking ban”.
“What this is about is making sure we don’t have people staying away from home at night,” British junior housing minister Simon Clarke told LBC radio when questioned about the ban.
When asked if the rules allowed couples to copulate outdoors, Clarke chuckled and said: “It is fair to say the transmission risk of coronavirus is much lower in the open air than in internal space, but obviously we do not encourage people to do anything like that outside at this time or any other.”
On Twitter, #sexban was trending in the United Kingdom. Some pointed to Johnson’s own unorthodox personal life while others pointed to the breach of lockdown rules by the prime minister’s senior adviser Dominic Cummings.

politicalite--2020-06-03--OPINION: The Collapse Of Media Power In The West – A Cycle Of Acceptance

THE TREATMENT of Dominic Cummings by the press over his trip to Durham during lockdown is the latest stage in a cycle of acceptance .
The Cycle of Acceptance is a psychological concept – when bad news is received , individuals and organisations go through a series of psychological responses .
These responses begin with denial , then anger , and then depression .
In some cases , this leads to final acceptance and a state of resolution .
Sadly , many are perpetually locked in the anger stage .
We are witnessing a seismic process – a series of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flow of politics .
This affair has been in effect for over a decade since the mainstreaming of social media .
The power privilege of the Western media establishment is collapsing , and we are experiencing its cycle of acceptance .
The 2010s saw the rise of ‘ alternative ’ media .
Moving beyond the fringe of a few thousand dedicated readers and listeners , the new online outlets would reach millions .
The alts could finally push back against the news narratives of global corporates and state broadcasters , genuinely influencing politics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the establishment was denial in the form of snobbery and scorn .
“ How could these upstarts , lacking Oxbridge degrees and journalism training attain so much reach and influence ?

Despite an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media , academic , business and sporting establishments , itself backed by foreign establishments – in short , the global leviathan – the good people of these islands voted to leave the European Union .

More denial .

The thugs marched through London despite the fear of a second wave, sparking chaos outside the gates of Downing Street.
Police officers were attacked with one black protester punching a brave police officer in the face.
The protesters later climbed all over the cenotaph and defaced Government buildings in Whitehall – the centre of British power.
Tory MP Tom Tugendhat said: “This is shameful.”
“Protest in sympathy, sure, but don’t attack our police who have done so much to protect all of us.”
