Gangs of New York: Sicilian mafia offers Big Apple protection from 'psychopathic' ISIS
RT.com ^ | 11/22/2015

Posted on 11/22/2015 4:58:58 PM PST by Beave Meister

The son of a New York mob boss has given Islamic State a stark warning, saying if they are planning any attacks in New York, they will have to contend with the Sicilian mafia. The notorious crime syndicate say they want to do their bit to protect locals.

Giovanni Gambino, the son of a key figure in the Gambino mob organization, says the mafia is in a much better position than security bodies, such as the FBI or Homeland Security, to give New Yorkers the protection they need.

“They often act too late, or fail to see a complete picture of what's happening due to a lack of ‘human intelligence,’” he said in an interview with NBC News, as cited by Reuters, adding that the mafia’s knowledge of individual movements and interaction with locals gives it the upper hand, even compared to the latest surveillance technologies.

Gambino, who is trying to carve out a career as a Hollywood screenwriter, says that, following the horrendous terror attacks in Paris on November 13, protection is more important than ever.

Yes. The FBI was too busy at the time and needed the assistance.

A little history: the mob kept the Nazis out of the docks in NYC during WWII. Not saying they are or were good guys, but they did good there.

example of how bad global warming is.

I have family and friends in New York. My experience over the years is that ordinary robbers and muggers steer clear of the mafia-protected districts. I imagine the same applies to terrorists.

In order to tighten her “chokehold,” Hillary set up what Brock calls a “Shadow Counsel’s office” – working parallel to the ordinary White House counsel’s office, but answering directly to Hillary loyalist Harold McEwan Ickes (pronounced ICK-eez).

Ickes was well-suited to the task of heading this secretive operation. As a New York labor lawyer, Ickes had represented numerous corrupt unions controlled by the Gambino, Colombo, Genovese, Lucchese and other organized crime families. His work on behalf of gangsters and labor racketeers brought him perilously close to prosecution, but Ickes displayed a Houdini-like gift for evading the authorities. “There are more than a couple of prosecutors in this city who believe that the only thing separating Harold Ickes and a jail cell is his ability to go strong and silent in the face of tough questions,” noted New York Post columnist Mike McAlary in 1993.

Ickes’ personal loyalty to Hillary is impressive. He ran her successful Senate campaign in 2000 and continues serving her today as the Shadow Party’s de facto CEO.

A former New Left militant during the ‘60s, Ickes traveled in 1965 to the Dominican Republic, where a junta of left-wing colonels was trying to restore deposed President Juan Bosch to power. Bosch was a socialist who had spent two years of his exile in Castro’s revolutionary Cuba.

Fearful that the Dominican Republic would go the way of Cuba, President Lyndon Johnson dispatched 22,000 Marines to the island nation on April 29, 1965. After fierce fighting, the leftist colonels were beaten. The socialist Bosch stood for election on June 1, 1966, losing to the pro-American candidate Joaquin Balaguer, who took 56.3 percent of the vote.

In most cities of the US, street crime increased significantly after the mafia was taken down. They kept order in the neighborhoods. There is a real plausibility to the premise here, at least as regards taking care of local jihadis up to no good.

It becomes a new reason to be paid protection money.
“We’ll keep every burqa and kaffiyeh wearer out of here! 10% please.”

They could collect a commission, too, for keeping SJW away.

Italy and Rome needs you! They are in the crosshairs right now! The Pope need your protection as the Islamic invaders flock into Italy and dream of cutting off the head of his Holiness on TV.

And when will they start charging businesses for their “protection”?
