More One Order Arrested — Pro-Maduro Motorcycle Gangs Hunt Trump SupportersToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we’re breaking down three very different biker-related stories happening across the globe — from Canada, to Venezuela, to right here at home — and what they reveal about power, perception, and purpose on two wheels. More One Order MC Arrests in CanadaIf you want to run with the big dogs, you pick up big fleas — and it appears One Order MC in Canada has finally attracted the full attention of law enforcement.Police in Edmonton have laid charges against nine more men as part of a long-running investigation into an alleged organized crime group that expanded west after establishing itself out east. Authorities have publicly displayed seized colors and evidence, signaling that One Order’s push toward a hardened outlaw image has come with serious consequences.We’ll break down:Why these arrests matterHow organized-crime cases are built over timeWhat happens when clubs chase notorietyAnd what this means for the Canadian MC landscape Venezuela: Pro-Maduro Motorcycle Gangs Take to the StreetsMeanwhile in Caracas, armed pro-Maduro motorcycle gangs—often referred to as colectivos—have reportedly taken control of neighborhoods following the U.S. capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro.According to multiple reports, these militant bike groups are hunting down Venezuelans believed to support the U.S. action or former President Trump, setting up checkpoints, intimidating civilians, and enforcing regime loyalty through fear.We’ll discuss:Who these motorcycle militias really areHow bikes are being used as tools of political enforcementThe dangers of armed biker groups aligned with state powerAnd what separates outlaw culture from government-sanctioned violence️ Back Home: MC Steps Up for the CommunityFinally, we’ll highlight a powerful reminder of what motorcycle clubs can be when purpose outweighs ego.A local motorcycle club in Ohio has stepped up to pay off outstanding school lunch debts for Clinton-Massie students, ensuring kids aren’t punished or embarrassed over unpaid balances.We’ll talk about:Why stories like this rarely get mainstream attentionHow MCs quietly support their communities every dayAnd why giving back is just as much a part of biker culture as riding🗣️ Join Black Dragon, Lavish T. Williams, and LogicAs we connect the dots between:Organized crime investigationsPolitically motivated biker violenceAnd community-driven motorcycle clubs doing real goodThis episode shows the full spectrum of biker life — the bad, the dangerous, and the genuinely inspiring.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-dragon-s-lair-motorcycle-chaos--3267493/support.Sponsor the channel by signing up for our channel memberships.

The Hidden Cost of Being a Support Club When It's Time to Walk Away
Welcome back to Black Dragon Biker TV! Today we're tackling a topic that's quiet in public but loud in private conversations: the real responsibilities—and dangers—of being a support club to a 1%er dominant.A lot of clubs jump into support status thinking it's just colors, rides, and respect. But once you're in, the rules change. Mandatory runs (show up or pay fines). Hidden fees (dues to the dominant, event "contributions"). And sometimes you're expected to back the dominant in situations that cross lines—shady deals, conflicts, even violence you never signed up for.We've heard stories:Support clubs forced to ride into rival territory during wars they had no part in starting.Restricted from riding certain roads or attending events because "it's hot right now."One club told: "Back us up or lose your colors"—putting freedom and safety on the line.Then comes the hardest part: leaving.When a support club decides the cost is too high and wants to go independent, the dominant often doesn't let go easy. Threats, intimidation, forced "talks," or worse. Striking out on your own can turn dangerous fast.Is this the price of "earning respect"? Or has the support system become something it wasn't meant to be?Today we'll discuss:What support really means in 2026.The unspoken rules and risks.How clubs navigate leaving without burning bridges—or getting burned.If you've lived this—support club, dominant, or independent—call in. What's your take?This is Black Dragon Biker TV—real talk, no filter.

Blacklisting & Blackballing by Coalitions Is It Legal Under Anti-Trust Laws_
The podcast episode explores the perceived "2-year rule" for new motorcycle clubs (MCs) throwing parties or annuals, stipulations from coalitions, blacklisting practices, and whether any of this violates U.S. anti-trust laws. Let's break it down.Why Can't an MC Just Throw a Party Whenever It Wants? Stipulations & the "2-Year Rule"Traditional MC protocol often requires new clubs to "earn" the right to host events by demonstrating respect, loyalty, and commitment to the existing MC community. This isn't a universal "law" but a common practice enforced by regional Confederations of Clubs (COCs) or coalitions—loose alliances of established MCs that set guidelines to avoid conflicts, overcrowding of events, and territorial issuesrcvsmc.net +1.The "2-Year" Practice: Many COCs expect new clubs to start as riding clubs (RCs) and spend 1-2 years attending other clubs' functions, supporting events, and building relationships before "graduating" to full MC status and hosting their own parties. This includes paying entry fees, showing up consistently, and getting a "sponsor club" (an established MC vouching for them). The idea is to prove you're not a "pop-up" club causing drama or diluting the scenereddit.com +1.Why the Stipulations?: Overcrowded calendars (e.g., multiple parties on the same weekend) lead to low attendance and resentment. Coalitions coordinate to "space out" events and ensure new clubs "pay dues" by supporting others first. It's about maintaining order in a scene where rivalries can escalate fastfacebook.com +1.Origins: This stems from post-WWII MC culture, where clubs like Hells Angels and Outlaws established informal "rules" through dominance and respect. Coalitions (e.g., in Ohio, Texas) formalized it in the 1980s–90s to reduce violence and promote unity. It's not in any "official MC bible"—just evolved customscribd.com +1.Blacklisting/Blackballing by Coalitions: Is It Legal Under Anti-Trust Laws?Blacklisting (coalitions agreeing not to support or attend a club's events) or blackballing (excluding a club from alliances) happens when a new club violates protocol—e.g., throwing parties too soon or not supporting others. Is it anti-trust?Not Likely Illegal: U.S. anti-trust laws (e.g., Sherman Act 1890, Clayton Act 1914) target commercial boycotts by competitors with market power that harm trade (e.g., price-fixing, refusing to deal to raise prices)ftc.gov +1. MC coalitions are social/non-commercial—they're not businesses competing for profit. Boycotts here are about community norms, not economic harm. Courts have ruled similar social boycotts (e.g., NCAA rules, political actions) don't violate anti-trust if not commercially motivatedftc.gov +1.1920s/30s Anti-Trust Context: You mentioned anti-trust battles (e.g., Standard Oil breakup, Sherman Act enforcement). Those targeted monopolies and business cartels—not social groups. No cases apply to MC coalitions, as they're not "restraining trade" in a legal sensenyulawreview.org.Potential Gray Area: If a coalition has "market power" (e.g., controlling events in a region) and blacklisting harms a club's "business" (e.g., charity funds, dues), it could be challenged—but MCs aren't typically seen as commercial. No known successful anti-trust suits against MC coalitions.Should MC Protocol Change?Protocol isn't set in stone—it's evolved from military/veteran roots to modern realities. The 2-year rule and blacklisting promote stability, but critics say it's gatekeeping that stifles new clubs. With social media, recruiting is easier, so perhaps shorten probation or make coalitions more inclusive. But change risks diluting tradition—strong clubs adapt carefully.What do you think? Is the 2-year rule fair, or outdated? Call in and let's discuss.

Are Prospects of Motorcycle Clubs Members
Black Dragon Biker TV Podcast Episode: Prospects, Bylaws, & Social Media RecruitingWelcome back to Black Dragon Biker TV! Today we're diving into three hot-button questions that stir up strong opinions in the MC world. No fluff—just real talk from 38+ years on the set.1. Are Prospects Members or Not?Short answer: Prospects are members—of a kind. They're not full patches with voting rights or equal say—that's earned. But calling them "not members at all" is wrong and dangerous.Prospects wear the club's colors (bottom rocker, prospect patch).They represent the club 24/7—on rides, at events, in public.They take risks for the club (backing brothers, handling tasks).If something goes down, they're expected to stand tall like any patch.Treating prospects like outsiders ("you're nothing") breeds resentment and turnover. Good prospects are investments—treat them as probationary members with limited privileges but real belonging. They earn the full patch by proving loyalty, not by being treated like dirt.Bottom line: Prospects are part of the club family, just not the inner circle yet. Respect that, and you'll patch better brothers.2. Should Prospects Be Allowed to See the Bylaws?Hell yes—they absolutely should.Hiding bylaws from prospects is crazy. How can someone commit to a club without knowing the rules they're signing up to live (or die) by?Common arguments against:"Bylaws are sacred—only for full patches.""Prospects might leak them.""They haven't earned it."All weak.Trust is built early—if you can't trust a prospect with bylaws, why trust him with your back on a run?Informed prospects make better decisions—if bylaws are too harsh, they'll self-select out early (saves drama).Transparency shows confidence in your club's structure.My take: Give prospects the bylaws day one. Let them read, ask questions, understand quorum, discipline, patching requirements. It weeds out the wrong fits and builds buy-in from the start.Clubs hiding bylaws often have something to hide—or fear scrutiny. Strong clubs stand by their rules.3. Should MCs Advertise on Social Media to Gain New Members? Is It Against Protocol—and Should Protocol Change?Traditional protocol says no advertising—clubs grow organically: word of mouth, hangarounds proving themselves, reputation drawing the right men.Social media recruiting (posts like "Join our brotherhood—DM us") breaks that. Reasons:Looks desperate—strong clubs don't beg.Attracts wrong types: wannabes, cops, drama queens.Exposes club to scrutiny (LE monitoring pages).Dilutes vetting—hard to screen online strangers.But times change. Younger riders find clubs online. Some new/support clubs openly recruit on Instagram/Facebook with success.Is it against protocol? In traditional/1%er circles—yes, big time. In riding/support clubs—more accepted.Should protocol change? For outlaw/traditional clubs—no. Organic growth preserves quality and security.For newer/riding clubs—maybe. But even then, never direct "join us" posts. Better: Show club life (rides, charity, brotherhood) and let interested men approach privately.Smart compromise: Maintain public pages for events/pride, but recruiting stays old-school—face-to-face, proven worth.Final word: Protocol evolves, but core values (loyalty, respect, organic brotherhood) shouldn't. Advertise rides and charity—never membership.That's today's discussion—prospects as probationary members, show them the bylaws early, and keep recruiting personal, not public.What do you think? Prospects members? Bylaws for prospects? Social media recruiting—yes or no?Drop comments, call in next show. This is Black Dragon Biker TV—ride safe, stay loyal.
