All talk at this point. Statues of Columbus are falling everywhere, where is the mob? The dog that neither barked nor bit.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Feds cracked down on the Italian-American Mafia in Boston, New York, and Chicago. While it was a criminal organization, the Federal crackdown merely eliminated competition to the Latin American and Russian syndicates, which came to dominate the drug trade and other illicit activities. You have to wonder if the Deep State believed that the Latins and Russians were not more conducive to their long term plans. The suppression of the Mafia ended the informal protection in many urban white northern cities. Running out the white ethnic working and middle classes, who were increasingly opposing leftist goals, to the suburbs or the South facilitated the takeover of urban cities and counties by hard leftists.
