Ex-Crime Boss drops BRUTAL NEWS for America’s Future

Michael Franzese asserts that the American government's operations, characterized by fraud and collusion, are frighteningly similar to how the mob conducted business. The key difference, he notes, is the government's vastly superior power and impact on the populace, making its corruption far more dangerous.

Franzese states, 'I wrote a book… called the mafia democracy and it's because I see so many similarities between the way our government operates and the way we operated on the street... with the amount of fraud and collusion going on between government agencies the politics that are involved it's very very similar it's frightening because… we never matched the power that the government has.'

Franzese evaluates various mob movies and TV shows for their realism. He identifies 'Gotti' (1996 HBO movie) as the most accurate depiction, while critiquing 'The Sopranos' as unrealistic. He notes that while violence was present, it was typically a last resort for 'smarter guys' and that respect, trust, and reliability were crucial for advancement.

He states, 'The most realistic mob movie that was ever made was actually the 1996 HBO movie that was entitled Gotti... Everything about it was pretty accurate.' He adds, 'violence... wasn't the first course of action all the time. It was normally the last course of action, especially from the smarter guys... it was bad for business.'

The mob wielded significant political power by controlling major unions like the Teamsters, dock workers, and electrical contractors. This control provided politicians with both votes (from millions of members and their families) and access to large pension funds for campaign support, creating a symbiotic relationship where politicians 'romanced' the mob for assistance.

Franzese explains, 'We control the unions in this country. Control them. If you control the unions, you control politics in a big way... What do politicians want? They want money and they want votes.' He claims the mob 'handed the election to John F. Kennedy.'

The effective implementation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act by figures like Rudy Giuliani was the primary factor in crippling the mob's power. This law allowed for severe penalties, including long prison sentences and significant asset forfeiture, critically undermining their financial and organizational structure, particularly their hold on unions.

Franzese states, 'when Giuliani... started using the racketeering act effectively... there were big forfeite clauses there. So they were able to forfeit... our positions in the unions because we actually held positions there. So they really did take the union power away and that was a big part of the downfall.'

Franzese believes that real power in America is often held by individuals or entities 'behind the guy' – those who operate quietly but exert immense influence through money and favors. He cites the Epstein case as an example where powerful individuals on both political sides are actively concealing information, indicating a deeper, hidden power structure.

He says, 'I think there's people behind the scenes that are I don't want to say calling the shots, but certainly have a tremendous influence on people in government... it's always the quiet ones that wield the most power.' He references the Epstein case as evidence of 'something stronger going on here than just the the power that's exist in Washington.'
