On this Day in Globalist History, October 27
It was a pretty slow day: 1919, 1970, 1992, 2005, 2016, 2017.
October 27, 1919.
The Volstead Act made alcohol illegal. It gave organized crime a monopoly on the sale of alcohol. Much of it came from the UK to the islands of the Caribbean to be smuggled into the United States.
October 27, 1970.
The Controlled Substances Act is signed into law, which made Cannabis completely illegal. Cannabis was a major competitor to deadly opioids and had numerous beneficial medicinal properties, and greatly reduced the need for poisonous pharmaceutical products.
October 27, 1992.
The Justice Department begins an investigation of FBI Director William Sessions for “ethics violations.” On July 19, 1993, Sessions was fired by President Bill Clinton. He and Comey are the only two FBI Directors that have been fired. The next day, July 20, Vince Foster was killed. The most likely suspect to have pulled the trigger is Hillary Clinton- Foster’s lover. Foster’s body was initially found on a rocky outcrop in Fort Marcy Park by park employees. Foster’s body was moved into his car, a gun was planted, and the death was called a suicide. Read more at https://www.fbicover-up.com/.
Subsequent to the homicide, Hillary Clinton removed Foster’s ledgers from a safe that detailed the money laundering of drug sales of drugs flown from Central America to Mena, Arkansas into Whitewater Real Estate. James Comey investigated the theft of documents, but nothing came of the investigation.
Transcript: James Comey's interview with ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos
JAMES COMEY: I worked for five months as a staff lawyer on the banking committee's special committee I think they called it on the Whitewater investigation. My role was to focus on the suicide of a White House official who was the deputy White House counsel--
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Vince Foster?
JAMES COMEY: --named Vincent Foster, yeah. And whether any documents were taken from his office and mishandled. I was only there five months. Patrice and I had a personal tragedy. We had a healthy baby boy, Collin Comey. Was born after I'd been there five months and died unfortunately of a infection that was preventable. And so I never went back.

As Hillary Clinton nudged ahead of Donald Trump in polls, FBI Director James Comey heard about some newly-discovered emails of Hillary Clinton on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Comey announced the FBI would reopen their investigation of her emails the next day.
USA TODAY: The full text of FBI letter announcing new Clinton email probe
Dear Messrs Chairmen:
In previous congressional testimony, l referred to the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had completed its investigation of former Secretary Clinton's personal email server. Due to recent developments, I am writing to supplement my previous testimony.
In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation. I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.

Axios: Steve Bannon declares war on Paul Singer.
In their Friday phone call, Bannon told Trump he had been looking for a long time "to set things right with Singer and his entire crew," according to a source familiar with the conversation.Since the NYT story broke, Bannon's right-wing media outlet, Breitbart News, has been relentlessly attacking Singer and calling on politicians who've taken money from him to return the donations.Background: Trump loathed Singer during the campaign, when the billionaire was a lead financier of the "Never Trump" movement. But the two made up earlier this year, and Singer has been financially very helpful since Trump won the presidency. He donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration and has supported various administration efforts including funding the successful outside campaign to back the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court.
