Goodbye.

You've probably noticed the lack of postings by me lately, this is attributed to two things, one: there hasn't been very much "mafia news' lately, and, I've been extremly busy. I'll probably continue writing on this blog sometime in the not-to-distant-future.

One thing I would like to point out when researching the mafia is don't take anything at face value. FBI informants such as Sammy "The bull" Gravano, and "little Al" D'Arco have been known to perjur themselves for the governments purposes. Others who have talked about their lives in the mafia have lied to suit their own purposes, in a way John "Junior" Gotti put it best. How can the FBI be a source when talking about the mafia. Indeed in an organation that lies, cheats, and murdes how can anyone trust anyone's word? The fact is, because mafia "history" is so convuluted with perjury and lies we'll probably never know the truth, only those who have "lived it" will know, and more then likely they will be unwilling to talk about their true experiences.
