“It’s a big deal, he had broken the show business rules,” Chappelle said. “You know, the rules of perception. If they’re Black, then it’s a gang. If they’re Italian, it’s a mob. If they’re Jewish, it’s a coincidence and you should never speak about it.”
Spot on.
I hope they keep attacking people like Chappelle. It only wakes people up.
There's lots of stories about this already. More coming as the liberal writers roll out of bed and finish feeding their cats and pouring soy milk on their granola.
the question to ask them is: "who was bugsy siegel?"
Before the Sicilians and southern Italian mobs had any real power, the Jewish mobs ran organized crime in the big cities.
They got overwhelmed by numbers.
or we have been led to believe that they have gone away.
They figured out the best way to rob people blind was to own a bank.
This is from a book by Robert Lacey, Meyer Lansky: The Thinking Man's Gangster -
Ben Siegel’s Las Vegas lawyer, Lou Wiener, heard that his client had been shot from a friend whose radio was tuned to a ball game in Los Angeles, and he drove straight out to the Flamingo, to discover Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway cutting through the general confusion with the steely precision of generals mopping up after a coup. Neither man displayed the grief and shock that characterized almost every other member of the Flamingo’s staff, and in the days that followed, it became clear that Greenbaum and Sedway, along with Davie Berman, Morris Rosen, and Willie Alderman, were the new bosses of the Flamingo.
Lou Wiener’s conclusion, which he holds to this day, was that it was Benny’s Las Vegas partners who got rid of him. Harold Conrad, who was following the story from the East, feels exactly the same. “Benny had spent a lot of their money,” he says, “and money was what counted with those guys.”
With Benny dead, Greenbaum and Sedway were able to go back to the Valley National Bank in Phoenix and get a loan of $1.4 million — half a million dollars more than the hotel had managed to collect when Benny was in charge. The bank evidently considered that the Flamingo was now a good risk.
The media is still running distractions and lies about the Bugsy Siegel murder years later, because the crime families that had Siegel killed went "legitimate" and still own Las Vegas through shell corporations. This hidden ownership facilitates the idea that Las Vegas went corporate and got rid of the mobsters.
In 2014, People Magazine proposed Siegel was the victim of a love triangle, and would have us believe Moe Sedway, Lansky's enforcer, the guy who supervised the liquor trucks back in the bootlegging days, was a cuck who employed his wife's lover to pull the trigger.
