American Thinker: Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, and Lucchese. These are the notorious names of New York’s very own Mafia syndicates, etched into the mind of every true crime enthusiast.
As the years went by, and one Giuliani RICO charge after another fell upon the John Gottis of the world, the Five Families and their influence have waned even while their legacy lives on in late-night Soprano reruns.
Strangely enough, until very recently, few New Yorkers, save for Donald Trump in a forewarning tweet, could tell you the name of the far more powerful criminal family that terrorized our streets and wallets.
What was the name of this sixth crime family, you may be wondering? Well, it was the crafty Schneiderman Outfit operating out of Pine Street.
What was the Schneiderman Outfit? It was a $5-billion operation, whose extortion and racketeering sent many honest New Yorkers and their businesses into hiding down in Florida or North Carolina. Unlike the Gambino victims of old, the victims of the Schneiderman gang cannot be saved through a federal victim protection program based in Utah. They will be followed no matter where they flee (though you may want to consider a lovely central Asian goat farm in extradition-free Uzbekistan). In fact, the victims of this crime family have little to no legal recourse whatsoever. Their only option is to pay the kickback. read more
The bandage over the festering wound of stranglehold democratic run places is coming off to expose gangrene level rotting. The only solution, if the patient wants to live is immediate amputation. However, the patient may choose the ‘Augustus McCrae’ approach and just keep drinking liquor until they die of blood poising.
Toss in the sexual nuttery and then ask: Where is the “Me Too” people? One would think the DNC headquarters would look like any giving street block in Dresden circa 1945 with all the screaming they did over Trump. Could it be that some “Me Too” are more equal than others?
Government is the ultimate mafia.
Uh-oh, I’ve been flagged!
Schneiderman appears to have been running his extortion racket for both business and pleasure.
But New Yorkers will elect another Democrat in his place.
And the corruption will continue.
Comment from a fb friend; “He was Barry’s attack dog on DACA and immigration reform, ObamaCare, Wall Street, Climate Change, Net Neutrality. You name it.”
Small potatoes, but an up-and-coming, shaker: Obama’s peeps hold the record. Money straight from the worthy to their vermin.
Then …. they retire to Vermont, get bored and play musical philanthropy monopoly with Montpelier’s Democratic wannabe elites.
