I had the opportunity to glance “Illicit” on our local PBS situation last night. I found it a vast disappointment that was nothing more or less than a rehash of repeated information that the viewer could find from other sources in the media.

I actually found the “finger pointing” at other countries in regards to drug production, money laundering, human smuggling, counterfeiting, etc. to be totally offensive. The exact responsibility for many of these problems falls primarily on the United States and, to a lesser extent, Western Europe. The question in the United States for illicit drugs, cheap labor, higher profits, monetary investments (regardless of source) and cheap goods all work in favor of these criminals, yet too considerable time is spent blaming the “usual suspects” like Mexico, Columbia and China for the world’s ills.

The segment on money laundering really misses the point by focusing on Naples, Italy, while the position where I reside (Texas) would be a more appropriate target. To fully understand this plan, you’ll need a lesson in money laundering 101 and something that this film did not even touch…

Amounts may vary based on the models that are out there, but anywhere from .25 to .33 cents of every dollar in your pocket may have its origins in illicit business; in some states in the United States identified as High Risk Money Laundering and Related Financial Crimes Areas (HIFCA’s) - like Texas the percent may be higher. Does this mean that you directly took a dime or a quarter directly from a drug dealer? Of course not! But what has happened and what continues to happen is that the scoot of illicit money into our economy is invested into legitimate business that ends up into EVERYONE’S pocket, including money that is archaic to finance our government services through taxes. Money, even though it has illicit origins, grows and multiplies through investment and reinvestment and here lies the great problem: How do you conclude it without destabilizing our economy or the world’s economy? Can you cessation it? Should you halt it?

Just judge… If all sources of laundered money were to vanish from Texas or the United States tomorrow, it would have the potential of collapsing our economic system. As any economist could vow you, this is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Pointing fingers at government leaders in the old Soviet Bloc or officials in Mexico avoids a primary point that it is impossible for key officials in our have government not to know what is going on and to some degree have complicity in allowing it to continue.

If you were the mayor of a exiguous town would you interrogate the origins of investment money that is being worn to manufacture a novel development too noteworthy? If you are an official in Laredo, Texas are you going to ask a lot of questions about what supports the types of businesses at the local mall (the stores rival that in any world-class city)? If you could cessation all illicit money flowing into Texas would you do it radiant that the economy here would collapse and the money would unprejudiced be washed in another set?

One chilling moment was when a Chinese officer of a company stated that the government (of China) did not conception loss of life too seriously unless it was the loss of Chinese life. Gigantic! But again it is our government’s failure for allowing a policy to import cheap goods from a country with a abominable human rights represent and total disregard for food and consumer safety that causes these problems. How many babies does it buy to become brain-damaged from lead paint, or how many pets (or people) will die from poisoned wheat gluten added to our foods until our government will act?

The lenses of the National Geographic should be pointed at us and our leaders, not those of the Developing “Third” World. Our attitudes, policies and leaders are our maintain worst enemies. The National Geographic should step aside and leave the reporting and commentary on serious social, political and economic issues to somebody else.

This documentary will change the method you believe about the goods you steal and how halt and perilous illicit trade is. In a exciting and notion provoking draw, this video tells the anecdote of how ‘bargain’ shopping for knock-off tag name goods can have severe consequences as it provides revenue to criminals. In addition to hard hitting stories on human trafficking, fake medicines, and untrue luxury items, this video provides an well-behaved telling of the unique Panamanian cough syrup tragedy where over 100 people died as a consequence of an ingredient in the medicine that was intentionally diluted with anti-freeze so that the perpetrators could build a greater profit. I have dilapidated this video in my company and at pharmaceutical industry conferences to abet snort the legend of how vulnerable the supply chain is. With each showing I have had a strong sure response from audience members. Kudos to National Geographic, the producers and directors for such a exquisite fragment of work!
