If you are sick of the life get out!
The Blog is a constant barrage of tough guy talk. People would be shocked by what comes in on a daily basis. So many of these posts come from a bunch of young wannabee’s, yet I get some from guys who spent years away and bash me for my words. All a person has to do is read a newspaper and they will see my words are true.
Last week I posted up Peter Gotti’s appeal. The papers were regurgitating the same old tag line. He was trying to get his sentence lowered. The part that most of the people who read the blog missed was his lawyer. He did not have a high powered legal team working on his appeal.
No! Gone are the days when a Cutler or Shargel or any brilliant appellate lawyer would be working on his case. It was a Lawyer who works as a court appointed lawyer. Times are tough for the American LCN.
The Feds keep going after Baby Gotti because of his family. Not his father. No his sister! She thought it was a great idea to star in a show and show off her wealth.
I guess it is okay when your father started Microsoft or even a hotel chain. Oh wait a minute he was a gangster! Baby Gotti went in and tried to make a deal. I guess the Feds did not offer him what he was looking for or he would not be on trial today. The fact is he did the smart thing.
Then he did the dumb thing by pulling out.
The whole game is fixed. The only group who can win is the Government. So any smart crook knows where to go.
Look at the past, the founder of the American LCN Lucky Luciano worked with the Law.
The mighty Underboss of the Gambino Family, The mentor of John Gotti Neil Dellacroce was a longtime informant. Greg Scrapa, Whitey Bulger and that is the short list. Who knows how many more are out there today.
Joey Massino stepped up and took care of his blood family.
I heard these words, “I only turned rat because I found out my friends killed my best friend” Not only did they kill his best friend, they killed their own friend. This was a guy they grew up with. A guy who they should have stuck with until the end.
Yet they killed him for some slaps on the back and a few pennies. Things that mean nothing all these years later. What a waste.
People write that I must be crazy. I am not. I post it like I see.
I never feel bad about my choices in life. These guys did what they did on their own; I did not tell them to do a thing. They have a choice. Now they can do many years so they can come out a guys who have lived their lives can pat them on the back. Yeah you are a stand up guy.
The world passed them by and they are now big men in the four blocks of Brooklyn where they grew up. There is a world out there and Brooklyn is only a tiny slice.
So if a guy like Joe Campy wants to help guys get out of life, then I say it is a good thing!
I posted up some more stuff on youtube. Yes I stuck my camara in in Louie Caruso's face and Shakes Milano. I will post up Donnie's and it is close up!.

THE RAT!
The Double Life of a Don
Monday, Dec. 16, 1985
His name was Aniello Dellacroce, which in Italian means "little lamb of the cross," and he took pleasure in killing people. "He likes to peer into a victim's face, like some kind of dark angel, at the moment of death," a federal agent once said of the Mafia chieftain. As underboss of the Gambino clan, the most powerful of New York's five families, he was a member and chief enforcer of "the Commission," the 11-member council that reputedly oversees organized crime around the U.S. Occasionally disguised as a priest under the alias of Father O'Neill, a play on his first name, he traveled about the nation to impose edicts and settle disputes between rival Mafia clans.
Few mobsters dared to argue with him. Dellacroce, who died in his sleep in a New York City hospital last week at the age of 71, played another role as well: for almost two decades he was an informant for the FBI.
Though Dellacroce was not very forthcoming about his own crimes, he offered the feds a wealth of information about those committed by his enemies and the Commission. After Carlo Gambino, the capo di tutti capi (boss of bosses), died in 1976, Dellacroce told the FBI that another would-be godfather, Carmine Galante, had been marked for death. Dellacroce had reason to know: plans for the Galante hit were hatched in his own headquarters, the Ravenite Social Club in Manhattan's Little Italy.
The feds were able to isolate and protect Galante as long as he was in prison for parole violations, but after he was released in 1979 Galante was mowed down during an alfresco lunch in the backyard of a Brooklyn restaurant. Other information provided by Dellacroce gave the FBI leads on the still unsolved murder of Teamster Boss Jimmy Hoffa and helped break major narcotics cases, including the so-called Pizza Connection case against 22 U.S. and Sicilian mobsters for heroin trafficking.
Dellacroce's double life began one afternoon in the mid-1960s when a limousine swung up to the Ravenite Social Club. Out stepped a tall man in a somber suit carrying a Wall Street banker's briefcase. "Who's in charge here?" he demanded. Awed hoodlums ushered the uninvited guest to Dellacroce's table.
The bold stranger was an FBI agent named Pat Collins. Sitting down with Dellacroce, he began a slow courtship, gradually winning him over by convincing the wary Mafia leader that a private relationship with the federal authorities would not be a bad insurance policy in a high-risk career.
Unlike Teamster Union Boss Jackie Presser, who escaped prosecution on charges of padding union payrolls this year because he was an FBI informant, Dellacroce's cooperation did not keep him out of jail. In 1972 he was sentenced to five years in prison for income tax evasion. Collins had expected that one day Dellacroce would demand payment for his information, but that never happened. The veteran FBI agent died of a heart attack in 1980 at the age of 51. This year Dellacroce was ordered to stand trial on racketeering and conspiracy charges, along with ten other accused members of the Commission.
Whether he hoped the payment would come in the form of exoneration from those charges will probably never be known. Before the trial could begin, the bloodthirsty Little Lamb slipped from the grasp of federal prosecutors.
There is so much talk about being a rat or ratting on this blog it is funny. First so many guys are rats that you would be amazed. When I was in Brooklyn and wearing my wire the Feds had at least two other guys giving them info.
I know because many times when I went to get debriefed they told me what I had been saying and doing and this was before they downloaded my wire!
Most people have no idea what goes on in a criminal’s mind, so they have no basis in which to judge. Many guys will rat because they have no choice, many because they want to and others for every reason under the sun.
More on Rats!
The smart criminals are rats. They already play outside the rules, so why would it come as a shock. They use it as a hedge against future problems, a way to even the playing field by getting rid of problems or just to gather intelligence against the other law enforcement sources or criminals.
So why does it come as a shock that so many guys rat?
I guess it is the steady diet of movies, TV shows and Books. The whole principle of the La Cosa Nostra is flawed. It assumes that men who live as outlaws will live under a new set of rules by a different governing body. Why would they?
These men are lawless outlaws. Today the LCN has lost its bite. They are all bark. The Feds can offer up a get out of jail free card and a new life. The LCN offers only Prison time.
The fear of being killed is no longer a major factor.
