A Comprehensive Guide to Moving Contraband Across Borders

Disclaimer: This guide is a ruthless blueprint for operating in the shadow economy. It does not glorify crime but equips those forced to navigate oppressive systems with the tools to survive. Proceed with caution: every word is a weapon.

Chapter 1: Know Your Cargo

Contraband Categories: Not all illicit goods are equal. Drugs, weapons, counterfeit currency, and endangered species each carry unique risks and penalties. Study your cargo’s legal classification. Mandatory minimums for heroin versus ivory differ wildly. Adjust tactics accordingly.

Packaging for Survival: Vacuum-seal powders to mask scent from K9 units. Embed gems in wax molds of tourist trinkets. Use RFID-blocking bags for electronics. Never trust a courier who says, “It’s foolproof.” Assume dogs, X-rays, and snitches lurk everywhere.

Chapter 2: Routes & The Art of Invisibility

Air: The Suitcase Gambit: Book flights through countries with lax customs (e.g., Laos, Paraguay). Bribe baggage handlers to tag your luggage as “crew” to avoid scans. Use babies as decoys. No officer wants to rifle through dirty diapers.

Land: Truckers and Tribal Networks: Hide goods in frozen meat shipments (cold dulls scent). Partner with nomadic tribes who’ve evaded borders for centuries. Their loyalty is cheaper than a corrupt official’s silence. If you know how to ask.

Sea: Ghost Ships and Submersibles: Invest in semi-submersible vessels that ride 90% underwater. Dock at “grey ports” with no jurisdiction. Bury cargo in fish holds. Rot stench masks even cocaine.

The Tunnel Trade: Digging is for amateurs. Repurpose storm drains, sewer systems, or abandoned Cold War bunkers. Always have collapse escape routes.

Chapter 3: Corruption as a Tool

Bribing Customs: Target junior officers. They’re underpaid and ambitious. Offer USD, not local currency. Record transactions discreetly. Blackmail is cheaper than repeated payoffs.

Politician Patrons: Identify officials with offshore accounts or mistresses. Offer to move their dirty money alongside your cargo. Their greed will armor-plate your operations.

Chapter 4: Surviving Interrogation & Betrayal

The Silent Protocol: If caught, say nothing until a lawyer arrives. Memorize fake alibis layered with truths: “I borrowed this truck to transport mangoes.” Wear a second ID taped under your shirt collar.

When Partners Turn: Assume everyone is a rat. Use dead drops, burner phones, and code phrases. If a deal feels wrong, abort. No payout is worth a life sentence.

Chapter 5: Financial Camouflage

Laundering Through Fronts: Open a chain of cash-heavy businesses. Car washes, nail salons, funeral homes. Inflate invoices to justify income. For large sums, buy undervalued art at auctions, then resell.

Cryptocurrency Traps: Monero over Bitcoin. Use mixers and decentralize exchanges across three wallets. Never cash out more than $9k monthly. Banks smell blood.

Chapter 6: The Smuggler’s Code

Trust No One, Especially Family: Blood ties mean nothing when prisons loom. Work solo or with mercenaries on single-job contracts. No farewell parties. Disappear after big scores.

Exit Strategy: Save 60% of earnings. Buy land in non-extradition countries (UAE, Montenegro). Fake your death if necessary. A clean exit is the ultimate rebellion.

Conclusion: The Shadows Are Your Nation

Borders are illusions drawn by dead men. This guide is a weapon for those who refuse to kneel to their rules. Move wisely, vanish often, and remember: every empire collapses. Your legacy is survival.

Weird Guides does not endorse crime. We expose the cracks in the system so the disempowered can fight back. Stay paranoid. Stay free.

Speaking of true crime channels and podcasts... There's something with The Misery Machine and Suffer the Little Children that feels very... weird to me, though I cannot explain why. Does anyone else know them? (I unfollowed both but YouTube still recommends me their contents.)

I was reading a bunch of Reddit posts about The Misery Machine and I even found some negative comments about Disturban and Disturban History, which confirmed how staying away from the comments section under some specific videos was an absolutely brilliant intuition.

[truecrimetimes21]

Hey everyone,

I am starting this tumblr for people that like true crime like I do. I would like to keep a schedule and hope I can write on here more than I do now that I have a laptop. Thank you and see you on my first true crime post.

[frankiesweird]

i’m thinking about making a true crime blog where i talk about cases that i find interesting or are not talked about enough. It’d be something cool where maybe i’d spend a couple days or so researching and then post one case story a week. I don’t really know but if it’s something you might be interested in then let me know

Armin Meiwes; Cannibal from Rotenburg

Special Thanks to (weltschmerz) from wpd

FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!

EarlyLife

Armin Meiwes was born on December 1, 1961 in Essen, Germany along with his two brothers which soon moved away to Berlin, leaving him alone with his mother.

At the age of 12, Meiwes had cannibalistic fantasies, these fantasies were triggered by film adaptation of "Robinson Crusoe".

While in Prison a psychiatrist examined Meiwes and determined that he had inferiority complexes and an educational disorder in his childhood.

After his mother died in 1999, Meiwes began searching on the Internet for people who would willingly let him eat them.

Killings

 In 2001, Meiwes met Bernd-Jürgen Brandes through a personal ad on a website in the cannibal forum. Brandes, who was 43 at the time, had previously often expressed a wish to be mutilated

March 9, 2001, Meiwes picked up Bernd Brandes at the Kassel train station and together they drove to Meiwes' house.

There they both went into Meiwes's previously prepared "slaughter room". After several failed attempts to simply bite off Bernd Brandes' genital, Meiwes drove Brandes back to the train station.

Ultimately, Brandes changed his mind and so both men drove back, Brandes took 20 sleeping pills, some alcohol, and a bottle of cough syrup to numb himself.

(unfortunately) The two men had intercourse and later, Brandes then ordered Meiwes to cut off his genital so that they could both eat it together. Unfortunately, it did not taste good raw, so Meiwes fried it in a pan. Brandes' genital said to have tasted tough according to Meiwes.

Bernd Brandes then layed down in the bathtub to bleed out in peace until he lost consciousness. Meiwes prepared everything in the slaughter room and carried the unconscious Brandes into the room, onto the table, and began to execute his body.

Meiwes dismembered the dead Bernd Brandes and then two days later ate parts of his body. Meiwes said he was really looking forward to his first human flesh, which he enjoyed with a glass of wine.

After this scene, Armin Meiwes then immediately had to look for people who would willingly let him eat them.

In total, he came into contact with over 200 people.

Aftermath

an Austrian student came across Meiwe's personal ad on the Internet, which he immediately passed to the police, who then of course began their investigation. Towards the end of the year, the police carried out a house search, where they found, among other things, the video recordings and the remaining frozen meat belonging to Bernd Brandes.

In 2004, Meiwes was sentenced to 8 years in prison, but this was overturned in 2005 because the case was not sufficiently covered and the characteristics of murder were not sufficiently recorded.

In 2006, Armin Meiwes was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and disturbing the peace of the dead by subsequently eating a corpse.

Since 2017, Meiwes has repeatedly tried to be released from prison. The last time his application was rejected in 2020 due to a "poor social prognosis" because Meiwes has not admitted guilt to date.

But he is allowed to leave prison with two officers and also has a girlfriend.

Ending & Pictures

Meiwes house was completely destroyed in an arson attack in 2023.

Watching the Killer Sally documentary and WOW there’s a lot of victim blaming towards this woman and her kids by extension like yeah neither her or her husband should have been putting their hands on each other and that relationship needed to end long ago but the way she was treated and described is just vile…

[teagosworld]

I would really really like to see the conversation around the ethics of “true crime content” progress, but I literally only ever see people coming after women who make this type of content. Granted, this criticism is deserved, but I never see people critiquing the most popular channels which are mostly ran by men. Every critical video I can find when I search YouTube is almost always directed at the women in the community.

As I said before, people who make “makeup and true crime” content should be criticized, real life tragedy doesn’t need to be paired with a Smokey eye tutorial or a mukbang. But what about the “body language experts”? What about the channels who make FOIA requests for interrogation footage of minors who’ve committed crimes? Remember a few months ago when a TC creator made a FOIA request for autopsy photos of a child?? I was surprised at how strong and swift the backlash was against her, considering there’s a huge channel (with over 2mil subs) who does the exact same thing, but he get praised for it.

Please do not misconstrue what I am saying here are me defending that creator in anyway, this is just a pattern I’ve noticed.

Delphine LaLaurie

LaLaurie married three times in Louisiana and was twice widowed. She was a very rich woman and though she was a widow she kept her status well in high society, until April 10, 1834.

when rescuers responded to a fire at her Royal Street mansion. They discovered bound slaves in her attic who showed evidence of cruel, violent abuse over a long period. LaLaurie's house was subsequently sacked by an outraged mob of New Orleans citizens.

Accounts of Delphine LaLaurie's treatment of her slaves between 1831 and 1834 vary. As its in the 1800s so records would be limited but a person named Harriet Martineau, wrote in 1838 and recounting tales told to her by New Orleans residents during her 1836 visit, claimed that slaves of LaLaurie were observed to be "singularly haggard and wretched" however, in public appearances LaLaurie was seen to be generally polite to Black people and solicitous of the health of those enslaved.

although the causes of death are not mentioned and infectious diseases could easily have been the cause. There were a woman named Bonnie was killed alongside her kids by the treatment of this woman.

Court records of the time showed that LaLaurie freed two slaves (Jean Louis in 1819 and Devince in 1832).

Martineau wrote that public rumors about LaLaurie's mistreatment of slaves on her property were sufficiently widespread that a local lawyer was dispatched to Royal Street to remind LaLaurie of the laws for the upkeep of slaves. During this visit, the lawyer found no evidence of wrongdoing or mistreatment of slaves by LaLaurie. (A/N: which is wtf?)

There were other tales of LaLaurie's cruelty that were current among New Orleans residents in about 1836. She said that, subsequent to the visit of the lawyer, one of LaLaurie's neighbors saw an eight-year-old slave girl fall to her death from the roof of the Royal Street mansion while trying to avoid punishment from a whip-wielding LaLaurie.

According to Martineau, this incident led to an investigation of the LaLauries, in which they were found guilty of illegal cruelty and forced to forfeit nine slaves of their household. These nine enslaved people were bought back by the LaLauries through an intermediary relative, and returned to the Royal Street residence.

On April 10, 1834, a fire broke out in the LaLaurie residence on Royal Street starting in the kitchen. When the police and fire marshals got there, they found the cook, a 70-year-old woman, chained to the stove by her ankle. She later said that she had set the fire as a suicide attempt because she feared being punished.

bystanders responding to the fire attempted to enter the quarters of those enslaved to ensure that everyone had been evacuated. Upon being refused the keys by the LaLauries, the bystanders broke down the doors to the quarters and found

"seven slaves, horribly mutilated, and suspended by the neck, with their limbs apparently stretched and torn from one extremity to the other",

When the discovery of the abused slaves became widely known, a mob of local citizens attacked the LaLaurie residence and "demolished and destroyed everything upon which they could lay their hands".

She did escape from any punishment and fled to france but she self imposed exile which is a shock, but also it was a complete different time back then,

She died on December 7, 1849 but the cause of death she completely unknown
