I guess Ed McGivern was the Jerry, but the General was nothing to sneeze at. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipedreams Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 You & I have been told all our life's the Mafi doesn't believe in Drug Dealing because it's bad for business with only part truths seeping out of Hollywood.. "but lets keep it in the Black neighborhoods, they're animals anyways.".. Total F__kin' Bullshit.. Lucky Luciano knew Prohibitions wasn't going to last years before it was repealed & imported Heroin & Cocaine in the 1920's that was freely available in his Speak Easy's. Now it was heavily promoted in the Black community, but all of Lucky's 138 N.Y.C. whore house sold Heroin too to keep the White Clients that wanted drugs happy & his Hookers Hooked & controllable.. There was a lot of desperation in the 1930's & the Mafia preyed on it. Now we had the French Connection that was sold to the public as some rogue Mafiosos' mis-behaving, when all they did wrong in the Mafia World was get caught.. Same with John Gotti crew.. They executed only one Mafia Don, Louis Lepke Burkhalter in 1944, when if the FBI had did there job & protected Abe Reles 'The Canary That Couldn't Fly', all the bosses would have suffered the same fate, aside from 1.000's of murders, major Heroin distribution carried a Death Penalty.. Lepke was a sacrificial lamb to get local heat off the Mafia.. Period.. Murder Inc. didn't die with him. The Mafia gave him to J. Edgar strictly for publicity purposes & they got away with all of it over a few pictures of J. Edgar Hoover in the late 1920's wearing a dress at a Gay Hollywood Party... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
