CRIME syndicates in Australia are raking in $10 billion a year and helping potential terrorists avoid capture. The Australian Crime Commission yesterday painted a disturbing picture of just how powerful organised crime gangs have become.
It said Australians were largely unaware of organised crime's involvement in legitimate business activities.
The nation's gigantic superannuation stockpile has even become a major target.
The ACC said it was concerned about the association between criminals and potential terrorists.
"Terrorists use crime to support their political objectives," the ACC said in its Organised Crime in Australia report, released yesterday.
"In Australia, the relationships between criminals and terrorists have generally been short-term and limited to providing specific services, such as false identity documentation, non-traceable communications, and/or money laundering."
But the ACC said it was unlikely crime gangs and terrorist groups would forge stronger links, because each wanted to avoid scrutiny.

Introduction
I believe that the rise of Middle Eastern organised crime in Sydney will have an impact on society unlike anything we have ever seen.
In the early 1980s, as a young detective I was attached to the Drug Squad at the old CIB (Criminal Intelligence Bureau). I remember executing a search warrant at Croydon, where we found nearly a pound of heroin. I know that now sounds very familiar; however, what set this heroin apart was that it was Bekkah Valley heroin, markedly different from any heroin I had seen. Number Four heroin from the golden triangle of South East Asia is nearly always off white, almost pure diamorphine. This heroin was almost brown.
But more remarkable were the occupants of the house. They were very recent arrivals from Lebanon, and from the moment we entered the premises, we wrestled and fought with the male occupants, were abused and spat at by the women and children, and our search took five times longer because of the impediments placed before us by the occupants, including the women hiding heroin in baby nappies and on themselves and refusing to be searched by policewomen because of their religious beliefs.
We had never encountered these problems before.

Very disturbing. How Curtis Allgier, a supposed white supremist, could paint himself black with tattoos is very strange. A confused man.
