It is the end of Elizabeth's spying...or not. She's afraid for her life; she isn't afraid for her life. She is a communist. She's not a Communist. I'm not sure even Elizabeth knows.

Through crazy women calling her out into the night and 'Comrades' with bad code names, Elizabeth Bentley is looking to help the Communist Movement.
Elizabeth Bentley is looking to be a spy.
Somehow this plain New England woman works her way to the top of a significant Soviet spy racket with a high muckety-muck lover and expense account that no committed Marxist should have.

In 1948, the Second World War was definitely over, but the Cold War was revving up for the long haul. The Fascist threat in Germany had been conquered.
Now, everyone was scared of Communists, and to prove their fear was reality, a woman of good New England stock had come forward as the leader of an American grown ring of Communist spies.
Her name was Elizabeth Bentley.

#TrueCrime #Gangsters #London
In 1969, Londoners received a hard earned rest from the criminal activities run by one family from Bethnal Green: the Krays. It was the youngest members of the family who held the most power in their gang known as The Firm; and by the time this 'rest' was granted, just THINKING about the Twins, Ronald and Reggie, was enough to send shivers of fear up and down your spine.

Casey Hammer is essentially cut off from her family upon her grandfather's death, and she is left to deal with the aftermath by herself. Her brother, Michael, is given control of the family pocketbook and he acts like a vengeful, spoiled brat.
It is in this environment that Armie Hammer is raised, so it is no wonder that multiple accusations of abuse are levelled against him.
Will anyone be held accountable?

Casey Hammer survived her birthright, left to her by her grandfather, her father, and her brother. She took 55 years to take a stand against the abuse in her family.
How is it that some people can channel their experiences to fuel compassion and advocacy, while others use them to become worse monsters than their examples?

January of 2021, Armie Hammer's texts are anonymously leaked to social media. Yet another 'Hollywood' man shown to be a disrespector of women and generally POS behind the scenes.
But this was just the tip of the iceberg that traces back to at least Armie's great-great grandfather. How do we humans become compassionate when our role models only show us how to exploit and abuse?

Tupac and Biggie grew up in very different environments, but both boys aimed to become bigger than they were. Tupac was given a heavy weight of responsibility from his activist mother, but Tupac was also hugely creative and he hated being poor. Big was a bit spoiled by his jamaican born mother, but the neighborhood he lived in showed him how hard life could be. Both boys felt the pull of leadership, but what would they do with this...
By the end of the 1980s Rap had REALLY begun to take off in a way no one expected: especially not the music industry.

Two of these boys would become the greatest Rappers of their generation, only to see their stardom quickly taken from them, along with their lif...
