Colombian Drug Kingpin Mistakenly Ships $17 Million In Cocaine To Supermarket Chain

When Your Cocaine Goes To The Wrong Address

Cocaine concealed in banana boxes

A Colombian drug lord accidentally shipped $17 million dollars worth of cocaine to the Aldi supermarket chain in Berlin, Germany. The 660 pounds of cocaine were confiscated by police, after representatives for the international supermarket chain contacted the authorities. This constitutes the largest confiscation in German history.

The drug dealer had concealed the drugs as a large shipment of bananas, by using boxes labeled as such. However, due to a mix up, someone assumed the boxes actually contained bananas and merrily transferred them to the Aldi store. There is an irate drug kingpin somewhere very ticked off over his missing shipment.

$17 million in cocaine accidentally shipped to German supermarket chain  

BERLIN (AP) — Berlin police on Monday found more than 386 kilograms (850 pounds) of cocaine inside banana boxes at a discount grocery chain in what authorities say is the largest-ever seizure of the drug in the German capital. No arrests have been made. The cocaine was wrapped in black plastic packs of one kilogram (about two pounds) each and hidden between the bananas, police spokesman Michael Gassen said. He said it was the largest-ever cocaine seizure in Berlin.

The drugs were found in 14 different branches of the Aldi chain in and around Berlin. Investigators were still searching through further banana deliveries at other Aldi branches and the city's wholesale market. The market value of the cocaine was estimated at around 15 million euros ($16.8 million)...

The Negative Effects Of Drinking, Smoking And Drugs On Athletes

To Be Great You Have To Make Sacrifices

Discipline is very important in sports. The men and women who rise to the top learn early that discipline and dedication are required if one wants to reach the pinnacle of one's sport. Athletes that drink, smoke and party often always experience avoidable problems that spill over into their careers and personal lives.

Smoking cigarettes or cigars creates respiratory problems for athletes. The respiratory functions go awry. It results in decreased performance levels and negatively impacts fitness. Athletes who are smokers end up out of breath and winded faster than their non-smoking counterparts. More importantly, smoking promotes cancer.

Athletes who use illegal drugs destroy their bodies with this negative habit. Cocaine, crack cocaine and heroin ravages the body. Ecstasy pills wear away at the heart, an organ that needs to be in top condition to play at peak levels in sports.

Smoking marijuana kills off cells and slows down your reaction time. Your body and mind must be fast to perform at your best in sports. Marijuana slows down both the body and mind and contributes to confusion. 

Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol destroys the liver. Some coaches ban their athletes from drinking altogether, realizing the effect it has on them.

Prescription pill abuse damages the liver and kidney. People sometimes underestimate how powerful and addictive prescription pills can become, reasoning that due to the fact they are prescribed by doctors, it can't be misused or abused. However, it can be and sometimes even worse than illegal narcotics. Prescription drug abuse lulls people into a false sense of security. Moderation is key. 

People sometimes feel invincible and that their bodies can handle anything, but at the end of the day, we are all human and can break. Don't break your body with bad habits that will wreak havoc on your health, life and career. See professional sports for what it is - a chance to do what you love and earn a living in the process. However, bear in mind it is a limited window of time with many professional careers on average only lasting 5-years.

Don't blow the opportunities you have been given. My family and I have seen many athletes do this and regret it. Listen to the experienced professionals in your life, who are trying to warn you to avoid specific vices and mistakes. They've been around longer than you have and seen many people come and go. Learn from their experiences, rather than your mistakes that could cost you plenty.

Stay healthy. Maximize your efforts to succeed. Don't take your opportunities for granted via taking drugs, smoking and excessively drinking and partying, only to lose your career and years from now look back and regret your choices. You'll barely remember being high, drunk and the groupies. However, you will remember your family, the one you love and winning. Don't lose that chance at greatness and financial success because someone sold you a lie that being a young athlete means being high and promiscuous. Choices have consequences. Therefore, make smart choices.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Was Moving In The Wrong Circle Of Friends Who Wouldn’t Tell Her The Truth About Her Destructive Addictions

Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon

 

Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late singer, Whitney Houston, is on life support after a drug overdose, similar to what killed her mother 3-years ago. A string of negative choices brought the heartbroken aspiring singer and actress to a number of sad lows in her life.

At the end of the day we are all responsible for our lives and choices and Bobbi Kristina made hers. However, make no mistake, having the wrong type of people around you can destroy you. Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, Nick Gordon, was a negative influence on her life. Some of her friends were enablers as well.

Someone who loves and cares about you will not help you get all forms of illegal drugs and or sit back and let you take them. Someone who loves and cares about you will not watch you drink yourself into an early grave via excessive consumption of alcohol. Someone who loves and cares about you will not be spending off your money and making undue financial demands on you.

Sometimes people in the spotlight deem wild and dangerous people more fun than honest, responsible, dependable people. They see it as cool and edgy, but it is really trouble in disguise. I’ve seen it happen in the entertainment and sports industries for years (and it applies to non-famous people as well). If you have honest friends and a love who looks out for you, tells you the truth even when you’re wrong and encourages you to do the right thing, it will be a blessing to your life. 

Will Chris Brown's Mom Stage A Drug Intervention For Her Struggling Son

Chris Brown and his mom Joyce

Singer Chris Brown, has been going around looking high out of his mind. I'm talking "Coo coo for Cocoa Puffs" kind of high. This is not the same guy with the cherubic face that sang "Run It" while showing all his big white teeth. Brown is stumbling around the industry bleary eyed, foggy and incoherent. He is on some serious stuff.

 The question is will Brown's mom Joyce stage an intervention to help her son. He's not listening to most of the folks around him, but he is close to his mother. Here's hoping she will get through to him, as his life is at stake and so is his career.

Taking Drugs Is Prematurely Aging Singer Usher (Photo)

...It's Showing On His Skin

Recently released pictures of R&B singer, Usher, 33, shows the premature aging of his skin, which comes from using illegal drugs such as Ecstasy (which he did not deny in his court custody case, regarding his ex-wife, Tameka Foster and their two children Usher V and Navyid).

The picture posted above was published last month and it shows the damage addiction is doing to Usher's skin, with premature lines appearing, a dull tone to his usually lovely brown skin and overall a drawn look to his face. If Usher doesn't care about his skin, which is risky in his image centered business, he should at least consider his children, who need a sober and alert dad.

New Drug In The Form Of Bath Salts Making People Permanently Insane

Ivory Wave

A new drug marketed as bath salts is making people criminally insane and on a permanent basis. The bath salts, sold under the name "Ivory Wave" or "Vanilla Sky" like the disgraceful movie by Tom Cruise, has resulted in the premature deaths of hundreds of people, who either bathed in, injected, snorted or drank it with water. It's horrible effects are said to be like all the worst components of cocaine, PCP and LSD, which include paranoia, psychosis, high blood pressure, elevated heart rate, violence, rage - and subsequently, hospitalization and death.

According to a widely published report, ""If you take the very worst of some of the other drugs -- LSD and Ecstasy with their hallucinogenic-delusional type properties, PCP with extreme agitation, superhuman strength and combativeness, as well as the stimulant properties of cocaine and meth -- if you take all the worst of those and put them all together this is what you get. It's ugly,"

The report further states, after using the drug, "One man barricaded himself in an attic with a rifle, Ryan said, vowing to 'kill the monsters before they kill me,' while another user vowed to remove their own liver with a mechanical pencil."

Website Is Openly Selling Cocaine, LSD, Marijuana And Meth

A website called the Silk Road, is openly selling Cocaine, Crystal Meth, LSD, acid and marijuana to web users, in conduct that is highly criminal under U.S. law. The illegal drugs are delivered via U.S. mail, which is unlawful. The site has caught the attention of the U.S. Congress, which seeks to have the website shutdown.

In this instance, Congress is well within its right to do so. Once a website so flagrantly breaks the law, under federal statutes, action can be taken to shut it down, as it is not a matter of free speech or free press. Drug dealing is illegal. Based on the fact the Silk Road originates from another nation, extraditions may ensue.

Strict Jail Schedule Will Upset Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan

One time popular actress, Lindsay Lohan, currently sits in the Lynwood jail facility in Los Angeles, California, on DUI probation violations, seeking the earliest release date possible, on a 90 day sentence, ordered by Judge Marsha Revel. It is currently projected she will only serve 13-14 days in jail, but Lohan is attempting to reduce her sentence even more. She is then ordered to report to rehab for 90 days.

A copy of Lynwood's daily inmate schedule was posted in a magazine and if it applies to Lohan, who is in isolation from the general population, for her own protection, the spoiled former star, turned miscreant, will not be amused.

The first item of note is the early wake time of 5:00 AM, which would infuriate anyone like Lohan, who parties into the early morning, then sleeps past 2:00 PM. Lights out at Lynwood is 9:00 PM, which is the time Lohan is usually getting ready to go partying at the clubs, wearing an outfit she swindled from a store.

It is an irresponsible life and one she needs to change, as it has gotten her nowhere and cost her almost everything. The main thing Lohan has left is her life, which she endangers with excessive pharmaceutical meds, narcotics and alcohol. If she does not change her ways, it will be the premature end of her. Judge Revel did her a favor with this wake up call and she needs to learn from it.
