Yeah your right but its the Republican party that got a Republican majority Supreme Court to legalise bribery in elections and in politics from the rich and powerful whilst the Democrats opposed it. Buckley vs Valeo, Citizens United etc all pushed by the GOP.
they want that we hate each other AND that we hate them. Hate gives you controll over people. Of course it can and will eventually backfire at them,but this is how crazy this world is.

Keep going with this sort of stuff Michael, the people need to hear it. Your a big influencer and having someone like yourself talking the facts about the system is very important
Best political assessment I have seen in a while. Expressing exactly what I’ve been feeling for the last 8 years with regards to how our government has been behaving and how it’s been trickling down.
Hi Brian you must be young cuz you've only been thinking about this for 8 years. I'm 64 and went to a Catholic High School in the early seventies and the brothers told us then that this was going to happen God bless Mike Francis and I pray that our heavenly father forgives him!
M.C. Let me says this right up front: You are the best interviewer out there. When you ask one of your guests a question, you never interrupt their answer. You let them talk, and when they finish, you'll ask another question and/ or relate a short story that remembers the same happenings as you do. You need your own TV talk show.
When a former member of the powerful mafia is so concerned about how things are going in his country, it's time to start running.😬😬😬.Very interesting videos as always, greetings from Uruguay.
When one leaves the life of crime they often take with them their experiences. One of them is understand how the world they left worked and could figure out who in government work the same way. Better yet lets point to the father of the Kennedy clan, Joe Kennedy. At that time the criminals were in the stock market and he knew how they worked base on his own experiences. It takes a crook to catch one. It takes a former Mob guy in order to out Mob like figures in Government.
Has it always been this way? Probably. That's why the founding fathers created the framework that they did. They knew humans and power are potentially a toxic mix. But when that framework is so violated, as it is today, we are in for real trouble. Real trouble is here. Time to face it head on or we're done as a Republic.
Just finished reading Mafia Democracy. Hand to God, I read it cover to cover. Couldn't put it down. You hit the nail right on the head. It was shocking but made so much sense about current corruption in our government. Great research! You write like you speak, and that was refreshing. Thank you, Michael, for this outstanding book. It's a must share with my friends on both sides of the aisle. God bless you and your family.
You’re preaching to the choir here Mr. Franzese. I’m old enough to know how things were and the direction it’s headed. Corruption seems to be the ultimate blow in the fall of empires.
Hi Micheal, I can't get enough of your program. Your are such a great speaker and upfront with your perspectives on current issues especially with our corrupt government. In fact I recently purchased "Mafia Democracy" and enjoying it to the fullest. Gracie and God Bless you and your family. Ciao !

So glad you made this video Michael! I think many of us agree completely with you and we don't want to accept the lies and corruption. The problem is that we can't seem to find the solution, nor can we get everyone to pay attention to what is going on around them. I hope you stick with this message and we can get people to get involved in fixing the problem. Thank you!

It’s accurate when people say that the American government is just the biggest mob. When organized crime was targeted by the government, it was always because they were competition and not because they were combating it on virtuous or moral grounds.
@@ryancaughill5662 the LOTTERY (daily number, Lotto, etc) started as the ITALIAN NUMBER game's held daily by Bookie's who eventually called it in to the MAFIA (financial backing). It's legal now that the government gets ALL the $$$$
Dear Mr. Franzese, I think you nailed this one... I think the trouble is that Politics have become so dirty that our best and brightest are not running for office. I believe the only thing we can do is make a lot of noise, just like you writing your book, making phone calls, sending Emails... I can't wait to get your book. Thank you.
When it comes down to it, there’s a reason both parties are afraid of Donald Trump. It’s not just because he’s an “evil” man. It’s because of his slogan, “Drain the Swamp.” He is going to write a book or something exposing the politicians in DC whose hands are dirty (all of them.) I don’t like the guy at all, but that is what we need. Bring everything to surface and clean house. Get everyone out and bring us back to the way we used to be. Where the people had a voice.

I’m from the UK Michael. We have been getting shaken down by the upper classes for centuries. You’re right about the Machiavellian slant to politics in our time both sides of the pond. Best wishes A
The prince is mostly about government anyways . It literally teaches a prince how to govern. But it can be used as a guide to rule in any position of power.
Yes, and Trump couldnt do it at the same level and was outgunned from the very beginning. The Supreme Court likely intimidated into compliance by not striking down the mail-in vote, which was the death knell for Trump. Not saying he was better, but Pelosi/Biden were compromised and far worse.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Thats because the Establishment has the PHD on Machiavellianism. Matter of fact if congress was a mob family Trump would of been taken out. He was like a guy who threaten the main powers to be.
Such as Obama. The black people's Prince he used them,did nothing for them, now he and wife are now multi millionaires. Black ad still at the bottom when it comes to economic growth.
@@jaquelinemoore2998 That's a good one. Plus those struggling with Healthcare he didn't do much for them as well. He only made others just as poor and uninsured with a tax penalty.
Lying is never acceptable. It breeds distrust, confusion, chaos and contempt. Lying causes us to treat each other as less than human. The father of lies dwells in and delights in corrupt politics.
Michael, every time I hear you speak I am more and more impressed with the depth of wisdom and caring. You are giving hope to so many and showing that forgiveness and walking in the right path is key in this short thing called life. Blessings my brother! I am going to be doing a video and mentioning you in it, and I hope you find it respectful! I have the utmost respect for you!
When Franzese hit us with the slight chuckle at the beginning, you know he means business; this ain’t a game. Real talk though y’all. I’m seriously not only praying for actions to be taken - I myself have dedicated my life to actually taking action, as well/too. I got accepted for my Masters in Psychology, to help specifically with trauma, media-based/cyber threats and sociological understanding, as a counselor; for my local community, operating under faith & with the hopes - of affecting the rest of the world, in a positive way; whether that be: big and/or small, etc. I’m 33 & I promise you all, not to stand idle; by simply backing off out of fear, watching the fireworks become bombs. It’s on us, the youth see us, we’re influencers whether we like it, or not. Again, I say ➡️ W E ⬅️ not just you, nor just me..... We, have to remain consistent, for true change to become enacted, while staying extremely, rigorously diligent, always in all ways, persistent - my dear brothers and sisters. *Stay fit: spiritually, mentally, physiologically and daily - minute by minute, hour by hour.* Look, I know that this is a novel of a comment guys; but if your heart’s are still beating, as your lungs are still breathing; it’s now or never & it’s NEEDED, at this moment - yes, more than ever.
Absolutely, the very best comment in this thread. People say, "Oh, yeah, the politicians are liars and crooks!" Then, do nothing. The apathy of this country's citizenry- will be its downfall. Serious action is needed, for the supposed 'servants of the public', to take notice and understand that we won't tolerate it anymore. I have great respect for Michael, and what he's doing- but to keep saying over and over, "we have to hold our politicians accountable", is overstating the obvious. If the people made 'an example' of a handful of politicians- things would begin to change. In mob life, people were held accountable. That's why they are respected and taken seriously. Sitting at our keyboards and agreeing with others is getting us nowhere. Until people start to have the guts, gumption and truly want a better life for their children and grandchildren- we choose to remain doomed to be slaves.
Michael i absolutely love watching your videos ...with the way politics are today ... world wide... you have opened up my eyes on your life growing up and the families you were involved with ... i see it as treat people with respect and be honest with you self and people around you ... politicians now days could not lie straight in bed .. keep up the great work i look forward to you your insite and videos .. god bless ..
Reading your book. You are spot on. I worked for state government and saw everything you discussed in your book. Thank you for your book because everyone needs to understand what is going on and we need to change the system. God bless you. Would like to meet you and shake your hand. Your very much appreciated.
My Dad used to say that he would rather deal with the Syndicate than the government. If you don't want to deal with the Mob, don't. They usually don't force you if you don't ask for it. But the government doesn't even need a gun. One stroke of the pen and you can lose all you have. As far as your talk about God. I think you are a good man, Mr. Franzese and you should be very proud of how far you have come. You're right. God is watching and he knows you. God Bless You, Sir!
They pass the laws so they can make business decisions before. Let’s say they want to pass a law for marijuana to be legal in every state, they will invest a lot of money into marijuana based businesses before they pass that law and when the laws passed their investments skyrocket, meaning they make a lot of money quickly

Hi Michael. I’ll never forget this quote attributed to Mark Twain, “ if voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let us do it’” and is one of the reasons I haven’t voted in any election (nor will I) in 12 years! It’s not an election, it’s a selection!! “It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes’’ attributed to Josef Stalin
I know he’s always had a thing for the gov, for reasons that we know, and that was his personal and family thing , but I think he’s stepped outta the box on this one, we can all agree on this one, they are nothing but hypocrites and liars. Excellent work Mike
Mr Franzese. I have followed you off and on for a long time. You posted this on my birthday, it must be a sign! Mr Franzese, I live in Pennsylvania. I had good reason where I needed to do the genealogy of some local politicians because my elderly parents and me and my pets were being seriously hurt by our Italian Auto Mechanic neighbor, who kept getting away with things, crimes against us, that would have put other people in jail. Finally I used one of my skills and did out DA Zappala's family history and there I found the Bazanno's, Ripepi's the Valenti's, my personal Favorite Frank Valenti and much much more... You have no idea, how much I know. I won't go into it here. I could write a book or two or three... DA Zappala's Grandad, Frank was the man, I was told my Made man Louis Masco, who worked for 10 years with White Bulger. I became friends with Louis for the last three years of his life, and told him the truth of my problem and he told me so much. Anyway, I did first hand research from original sources. I sent to england for expensive PHD dissertations, you have no idea how much work I did. The Mafia, went into government and politics. PA has a lot of these guys in the system. Frank Zappala's Son Steve Sr. got the mobs main racket legalized through our supreme court, through his friends. He too sat on that court. The Zappala Political Crime family and people like them run PA, Zappala's are one of the biggest families. Trust me, they know I know at this point. Pelosi, little Nancy D'alesandro has the same background and her family is the equivalent to the Zappala family in PA, she is mob. I was friends with Vivian Donato, married to made guy Junior Williams for going on two years. I know what a Mob Woman can look and act like. Vivian is like Little Nancy Dalesandro, perfect hair, perfect outer appearance, hard as nails in the core, Entitled, no shame, a taker. Having said that Vivian was a lot of fun. I liked her and I loved Louis, we called him Uncle Louis. The stories I could tell you...!!! So me the Genealogist cracked the code. From how the Jesuit/Christian Brothers educated these people, in PA we call them the Central Catholic Mafia...!! The Catholic church is a huge part of all this, they are joined at the hip with the mafia, and much much more. I'd like to ask you a big favor someday, really, You could be of help... But I am so sad that our country has this going on. The mafia is was so well organized and perhaps directed from others above that they strategically moved into Government. Why, Trump almost picked Little DA Stevie Zappala's Brother in law to sit on the Supreme court of the USA. That would be judge Hardiman, who is married to Lori Zappala. The kicker Michael i descend from significant historical figures in early American History, like Brigadier General James Potter who was George Washington's best friend in the civil war. JV Thompson was on of the richest coal barons in the world at the turn of the 20th century, a good guy, he looked out for others, a giver with a heart. I have a close cousin Prince Lida NIcholes who married the Prince of Thurn and Taxis, that is big deal Royalty in Europe, Princess Lida, I came from a good family, good people, and looked what at the end of the day they did to my elderly parents, me their youngest beautiful daughter and our pets and our family for no good reason at all other than they had an admitted crazy relative that they had the power to indulge. Trust me, back in the day, you a real heavy wise guy would have had him wacked for being an unrelenting trouble maker of no consequence. Louis used to talk about putting people in the farm. One day I joked and said, Louis, shy don't you put my neighbor in the farm. He took my hand and slowly began to squeeze it hard and harder, ouch :Louis stop what are you doing...!! After too long of a hurt he said, that's why they'd take you downtown and you would squeal. Louis was the real deal I miss him. It was like that movie where when Johnny Dept spends so much time with the mob he starts becoming like them in thinking. One day, this young tall man came in the room, and they said, he just got out of jail, and I said for what? They said for triple homicide, I responded, well maybe they deserved it!!! OMG Louis always used to say, Ruth you are too nice and too soft, we have to toughen you up...!!! Well, I came from a Golden Rule, please and thank you family. I was nice. And the lousy freaks associated with my neighbor, these low end want to be's with family connections with what i call first generation white color relatives, meaning they misuse their profession in ways you are not supposed to... They stole my life, thwarted it, destroyed my parents end years, brought my father and mother to early deaths and they were lovely people, you would of loved them. So, Mike, the Mob and the US government has merged long since. It is not the whole story of our American problems but people no idea what a big part of the story it is. Love your work and you are very good looking man, if you don't mind me saying that. I love to listen to you talk. This message is for you. You don't have to post it. I could give you so many other stories documented, you have no idea. Ruth Ann Bougher.

One could not have a better teacher on this Subject ..
This Guy Flippin Lived it Mike is 100 % Right .
I LOVE when people say "The government is broken.". Umm yeah, its broken for YOU. It's working quite well for the people IN the government.
bingo. the government is fixed.
It’s working exactly as the “donor” class pays for
I say A legally recognized Mafia
Others call it American "government"
It’s accurate when people say that the American government is just the biggest mob. When organized crime was targeted by the government, it was always because they were competition and not because they were combating it on virtuous or moral grounds.
Well, I'm happy somebody is taking about this. Using his position for something good. Great. Actually more 'n more ppl stand up. I j.💘 this one.
@@ryancaughill5662 the LOTTERY (daily number, Lotto, etc) started as the ITALIAN NUMBER game's held daily by Bookie's who eventually called it in to the MAFIA (financial backing). It's legal now that the government gets ALL the $$$$
Dear Mr. Franzese, I think you nailed this one... I think the trouble is that Politics have become so dirty that our best and brightest are not running for office. I believe the only thing we can do is make a lot of noise, just like you writing your book, making phone calls, sending Emails... I can't wait to get your book.
Thank you.
If you're partisan today
and NOT a communist, you should be opposing both parties today.
I'm a hardcore commie and i think both parties are enemies
why would a communist support either party lol
@@MrCreamcracker15 don't ask me, I do not understand either
When it comes down to it, there’s a reason both parties are afraid of Donald Trump. It’s not just because he’s an “evil” man. It’s because of his slogan, “Drain the Swamp.” He is going to write a book or something exposing the politicians in DC whose hands are dirty (all of them.) I don’t like the guy at all, but that is what we need. Bring everything to surface and clean house. Get everyone out and bring us back to the way we used to be. Where the people had a voice.
@@EthanC_09 I do like he called these crony Corporatists losers and criminals. They are. I'm not s communist, I despise INVOLUNTARY communism, I do support VOLUNTARY communism. I just don't see evidence it works as a State system. The state is the source of many of my life issues, and I DO NOT want the state to fix my personal problems. I just want to hunt, play games with my kids, build my Business, respect those in my orbit and live peacefully. General outline.
“polictics and crime. they’re the same thing” - Michael Corleone.
We’re part of the same hypocrisy
Michael you know how naive you sound, presidents and senators don't have men killed
Who's being naive here Kay
Funny how Vito wanted Michael, his son to be a Senator or something similar.
I’m from the UK Michael. We have been getting shaken down by the upper classes for centuries. You’re right about the Machiavellian slant to politics in our time both sides of the pond. Best wishes A
It's worse in America. The poor actually look up to the rich. Complete slave mentality
The prince is mostly about government anyways . It literally teaches a prince how to govern. But it can be used as a guide to rule in any position of power.
Yes, and Trump couldnt do it at the same level and was outgunned from the very beginning. The Supreme Court likely intimidated into compliance by not striking down the mail-in vote, which was the death knell for Trump. Not saying he was better, but Pelosi/Biden were compromised and far worse.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 Thats because the Establishment has the PHD on Machiavellianism. Matter of fact if congress was a mob family Trump would of been taken out. He was like a guy who threaten the main powers to be.
Such as Obama. The black people's Prince he used them,did nothing for them, now he and wife are now multi millionaires. Black ad still at the bottom when it comes to economic growth.
@@jaquelinemoore2998 That's a good one. Plus those struggling with Healthcare he didn't do much for them as well. He only made others just as poor and uninsured with a tax penalty.
Lying is never acceptable. It breeds distrust, confusion, chaos and contempt. Lying causes us to treat each other as less than human. The father of lies dwells in and delights in corrupt politics.
Michael, every time I hear you speak I am more and more impressed with the depth of wisdom and caring. You are giving hope to so many and showing that forgiveness and walking in the right path is key in this short thing called life. Blessings my brother! I am going to be doing a video and mentioning you in it, and I hope you find it respectful! I have the utmost respect for you!
Michael's pure words of wisdom ,brilliant man
When Franzese hit us with the slight chuckle at the beginning, you know he means business; this ain’t a game. Real talk though y’all. I’m seriously not only praying for actions to be taken - I myself have dedicated my life to actually taking action, as well/too. I got accepted for my Masters in Psychology, to help specifically with trauma, media-based/cyber threats and sociological understanding, as a counselor; for my local community, operating under faith & with the hopes - of affecting the rest of the world, in a positive way; whether that be: big and/or small, etc. I’m 33 & I promise you all, not to stand idle; by simply backing off out of fear, watching the fireworks become bombs. It’s on us, the youth see us, we’re influencers whether we like it, or not. Again, I say ➡️ W E ⬅️ not just you, nor just me..... We, have to remain consistent, for true change to become enacted, while staying extremely, rigorously diligent, always in all ways, persistent - my dear brothers and sisters. *Stay fit: spiritually, mentally, physiologically and daily - minute by minute, hour by hour.* Look, I know that this is a novel of a comment guys; but if your heart’s are still beating, as your lungs are still breathing; it’s now or never & it’s NEEDED, at this moment - yes, more than ever.
Absolutely, the very best comment in this thread. People say, "Oh, yeah, the politicians are liars and crooks!" Then, do nothing. The apathy of this country's citizenry- will be its downfall. Serious action is needed, for the supposed 'servants of the public', to take notice and understand that we won't tolerate it anymore. I have great respect for Michael, and what he's doing- but to keep saying over and over, "we have to hold our politicians accountable", is overstating the obvious. If the people made 'an example' of a handful of politicians- things would begin to change. In mob life, people were held accountable. That's why they are respected and taken seriously. Sitting at our keyboards and agreeing with others is getting us nowhere. Until people start to have the guts, gumption and truly want a better life for their children and grandchildren- we choose to remain doomed to be slaves.
Michael i absolutely love watching your videos ...with the way politics are today ... world wide... you have opened up my eyes on your life growing up and the families you were involved with ... i see it as treat people with respect and be honest with you self and people around you ... politicians now days could not lie straight in bed .. keep up the great work i look forward to you your insite and videos .. god bless ..
Say what you want about Michael, but he gives it to us straight so I respect him dood.
Ok just saying, .... Michael Franzese for president please!!!!
LETS DO THIS!!!!
He’s not a crook anymore

@@acc2067 Not crooked enough.
Reading your book. You are spot on. I worked for state government and saw everything you discussed in your book. Thank you for your book because everyone needs to understand what is going on and we need to change the system. God bless you. Would like to meet you and shake your hand. Your very much appreciated.
This whole situation sucks...
It's clear very bad people are doing unimaginable things...
The Double Standards are ridiculous!
I wish more mob guys would come out and talk they are apart of American history
The mob tend to frown on made guys talking in public
My Dad used to say that he would rather deal with the Syndicate than the government. If you don't want to deal with the Mob, don't. They usually don't force you if you don't ask for it. But the government doesn't even need a gun. One stroke of the pen and you can lose all you have.
As far as your talk about God. I think you are a good man, Mr. Franzese and you should be very proud of how far you have come. You're right. God is watching and he knows you. God Bless You, Sir!
Nancy Pelosi net worth 121 million.
On a government salary of 28 years.. which total 6 million ish...
I’ve been saying for years, I don’t understand why no one questions how politicians become rich
They pass the laws so they can make business decisions before. Let’s say they want to pass a law for marijuana to be legal in every state, they will invest a lot of money into marijuana based businesses before they pass that law and when the laws passed their investments skyrocket, meaning they make a lot of money quickly
@@katc1949 They are paid off by drug dealers and war criminals - you know, the CEO's we respect and admire.
@@adamdoci1192 Now instead of marijuana, apply that to bombs, missiles, heroin, pills, GMO corn syrup, poison, etc.
@@adamdoci1192 Stock manipulation is another thing. They can buy stocks and then pass laws which will cause the stock they bought to go up.
You say to "hold them accountable". How does the common person hold them accountable when in reality, even at the polls, we mean nothing to them.
Exactly. They are only accountable to the drug dealers and weapons dealers who own the politicians. Voting does nothing.
Michael Franzese for President 2024..
Can't wait for the book

Now that’s the definition of an oxymoron.

why? democrats were just given the green light to steal every single election in the future. democrats will never lose the congress or presidency ever again
@@deedeemerry1295 this comment is the problem. You didn't listen to what he said did you? Stop just holding just Democrats countable, or this cycle of stupidity will never end.
@@deedeemerry1295 it’s both sides goddamn wtf is wrong with Americans ?!! Are we really this goddamn stupid
@Donald Schrier, I agree :)👍🙂
Michael, please keep preaching the word. Thank you for being who you are. God bless.
Hi Michael. I’ll never forget this quote attributed to Mark Twain, “ if voting made a difference, they wouldn’t let us do it’” and is one of the reasons I haven’t voted in any election (nor will I) in 12 years! It’s not an election, it’s a selection!!
“It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes’’ attributed to Josef Stalin
Stalin was wrong. It's who selects the candidates. Let me pick the people who run, and I'll let you count the votes however you like.
I know he’s always had a thing for the gov, for reasons that we know, and that was his personal and family thing , but I think he’s stepped outta the box on this one, we can all agree on this one, they are nothing but hypocrites and liars. Excellent work Mike

Well said Mike, That’s just the tip of the iceberg
Things are worse than when you made this video two years ago. You hit the nail right on the head. Thank you.
That intro put chills down my spine.
I totally agree with the comments politicians should be held accountable . Franzese for president
Mr Franzese. I have followed you off and on for a long time. You posted this on my birthday, it must be a sign! Mr Franzese, I live in Pennsylvania. I had good reason where I needed to do the genealogy of some local politicians because my elderly parents and me and my pets were being seriously hurt by our Italian Auto Mechanic neighbor, who kept getting away with things, crimes against us, that would have put other people in jail. Finally I used one of my skills and did out DA Zappala's family history and there I found the Bazanno's, Ripepi's the Valenti's, my personal Favorite Frank Valenti and much much more... You have no idea, how much I know. I won't go into it here. I could write a book or two or three... DA Zappala's Grandad, Frank was the man, I was told my Made man Louis Masco, who worked for 10 years with White Bulger. I became friends with Louis for the last three years of his life, and told him the truth of my problem and he told me so much. Anyway, I did first hand research from original sources. I sent to england for expensive PHD dissertations, you have no idea how much work I did. The Mafia, went into government and politics. PA has a lot of these guys in the system. Frank Zappala's Son Steve Sr. got the mobs main racket legalized through our supreme court, through his friends. He too sat on that court. The Zappala Political Crime family and people like them run PA, Zappala's are one of the biggest families. Trust me, they know I know at this point. Pelosi, little Nancy D'alesandro has the same background and her family is the equivalent to the Zappala family in PA, she is mob. I was friends with Vivian Donato, married to made guy Junior Williams for going on two years. I know what a Mob Woman can look and act like. Vivian is like Little Nancy Dalesandro, perfect hair, perfect outer appearance, hard as nails in the core, Entitled, no shame, a taker. Having said that Vivian was a lot of fun. I liked her and I loved Louis, we called him Uncle Louis. The stories I could tell you...!!! So me the Genealogist cracked the code. From how the Jesuit/Christian Brothers educated these people, in PA we call them the Central Catholic Mafia...!! The Catholic church is a huge part of all this, they are joined at the hip with the mafia, and much much more. I'd like to ask you a big favor someday, really, You could be of help... But I am so sad that our country has this going on. The mafia is was so well organized and perhaps directed from others above that they strategically moved into Government. Why, Trump almost picked Little DA Stevie Zappala's Brother in law to sit on the Supreme court of the USA. That would be judge Hardiman, who is married to Lori Zappala. The kicker Michael i descend from significant historical figures in early American History, like Brigadier General James Potter who was George Washington's best friend in the civil war. JV Thompson was on of the richest coal barons in the world at the turn of the 20th century, a good guy, he looked out for others, a giver with a heart. I have a close cousin Prince Lida NIcholes who married the Prince of Thurn and Taxis, that is big deal Royalty in Europe, Princess Lida, I came from a good family, good people, and looked what at the end of the day they did to my elderly parents, me their youngest beautiful daughter and our pets and our family for no good reason at all other than they had an admitted crazy relative that they had the power to indulge. Trust me, back in the day, you a real heavy wise guy would have had him wacked for being an unrelenting trouble maker of no consequence. Louis used to talk about putting people in the farm. One day I joked and said, Louis, shy don't you put my neighbor in the farm. He took my hand and slowly began to squeeze it hard and harder, ouch :Louis stop what are you doing...!! After too long of a hurt he said, that's why they'd take you downtown and you would squeal. Louis was the real deal I miss him. It was like that movie where when Johnny Dept spends so much time with the mob he starts becoming like them in thinking. One day, this young tall man came in the room, and they said, he just got out of jail, and I said for what? They said for triple homicide, I responded, well maybe they deserved it!!! OMG Louis always used to say, Ruth you are too nice and too soft, we have to toughen you up...!!! Well, I came from a Golden Rule, please and thank you family. I was nice. And the lousy freaks associated with my neighbor, these low end want to be's with family connections with what i call first generation white color relatives, meaning they misuse their profession in ways you are not supposed to... They stole my life, thwarted it, destroyed my parents end years, brought my father and mother to early deaths and they were lovely people, you would of loved them. So, Mike, the Mob and the US government has merged long since. It is not the whole story of our American problems but people no idea what a big part of the story it is. Love your work and you are very good looking man, if you don't mind me saying that. I love to listen to you talk. This message is for you. You don't have to post it. I could give you so many other stories documented, you have no idea. Ruth Ann Bougher.
I pray one day they all get their due...

Politicians are worse than mob guys. They can and do more damage. They just hide it and mobsters don’t. I love my country but I’m scared.
Damage aside, I'm willing to bet money that even a Capo would be held accountable if he were to order a made man from a different family whacked for no reason whatsoever.
Unlike our drone strike-happy politicians
I see a new video from Michael I click, fugget about it
This is absolutely well thought,well spoken gem from one of my favorite people on RUclips
What is sadder than politicians lying is people that believe them. Does anyone research anymore? I dont mean Facebook
That is the honest truth. Too many want to be told what to think instead of having the courage to think/decide for themselves.

Meanwhile they use their power to benefit themselves and put friends or themselves on a privileged position. Im glad you have this channel to talk about this. There are a lot of people with serious problems that need a lot of help and the people who claim that are taking care of us are looking for another side.

Excellent content, as usual. Your insights are a reflection of someone who came close or was exposed to real evil but also has seen real good. Much like a physician or soldier.
