Competition is the best way to learn knowledge for the both of us NY. And my advice is to stop all that Rat hatred talk. You're not in the life. You're site would have 95% less information if it wasn't for informants and rats. You should be thanking them. I'll wait on your challenge though because I know where 95% of your info comes from. Mary Ferrell, Ny Times, The FBN Book, some Google shit. Maybe you got a subscription to Newspapers.com but it doesn't seem so judging by your Vincenzo Alo article. I'm not knocking you(maybe a little) but mainly I'm challenging you to go into the rabbit hole on these guys. Take a look into your own article. Tell me this is the best you can do. That this is all the world has to know about Vincenzo Alo!
https://thenewyorkmafia.com/2019/10/15/vincenzo-alo/Since you seem to thing that 'insulting' one another and throwing acid-tongued barbs is the proper way to motivate people to contribute more and to be more productive (as opposed to being nice and interacting on a more civil basis which is my preference) then here goes ok. Here's my feelings on it, and you. Hope you like what I have to say. After all, you asked for it.
Competition IS the best way for us all to learn off each other, yet not many forum members here on GBB actually do contribute a single thing in the way of new and important data which is very surprising to me. We have our " small handful" of regular writers, researchers, etc., who regularly post up a few things such as myself, but the rest of all forum members (of which this site has tons) just seem to visit and read the various articles myself and others write. YOU in particular talk a great game yet 99.9% of the time don't contribute shit to this site.
Why is that Reb? I thought your supposed to be this big, knowledgeable mob aficionado? Could it be you really don't have much to contribute after all? And thats the reason why you never, ever, never, ever, post up an interesting mob 'piece.'?
You seem to talk a good game, but thats about all you do.
Oh sure you're quick to critique my work, or the work of other posters, showing us what we 'haven't' done right, or how our piece is really 'shit' because it contains less info that what you think should be in there. You're very good at insulting others. But you don't contribute one single thing thats constructive. (despite the fact that you 'claim' to have over '25 years of all this mob knowledge' as you put it, and 'five file cabinets filled to the brim with precious mob documents and rare information on the mob.'... LOL
Where the fuck is all this "alleged" info? Oh yeah, I remember now. Its in your file cabinets! LOL....
Well, it if is, then I suggest you move those "five fie cabinets" to your bathroom and start using all those underworld papers as toilet paper to wipe your asshole. Because clearly they ain't doing you any good by just sitting there gaining dust for the last two and a half decades! At least you can save a few dollars when you shop at the supermarket. Scratch "toilet paper" off your shopping list.
And as far as you being so sure of "where 95% of my info comes from" as you say, lets get REAL here for a second ok Rebel. I mean "BRUTALLY REAL."
You never met a real wiseguy in your entire life! You wouldn't know a wiseguy, mafioso, or knockaround guy if he walked up on ya and stuck a gun in your back. Lol... your a legit "sucker" as they say, from the prairie or some little backwoods town. And you wanna "critique" MY credentials? ... you gotta be kidding with that one. You got some balls my friend! More balls than brains as the saying goes.
The only wiseguys you've even seen are the ones you watched on that show The Untouchables, or The Godfather movie.
And if you ever DO meet a real wiseguy, he'd have to be pointed out to you, because you wouldn't know him from a hole in the ground. And I'm sure from that point forward you'd be in awe of him and sucking up to him like the star-struck sucker that you are! (thats why you listen so intently to Gravano, Alite, Franzese, and all these other jerk-off rats). You're star struck, plain and simple.
It's an embarrassing place to be at your age. You might wanna think about that before you spend hours of your day listening to bullshit from rats and ponying up your hard earned money to become an 'insider' and part of their 'rat crew' LOL (what a fucking joke)
"People who live in glass houses should never throw stones" -- you ever hear of that old adage Rebel? Well, I suggest you remember that one the next time you're gonna open your big mouth and 'attempt' to insult or correct someone. Before you make an asshole out of yourself in front of others that is. A real good piece of advise that I suggest you consider.
PS: and lastly, you happen to be correct in that if it wasn't for all the rats and sophisticated LE techniques of recent decades that have gutted the mob, I really wouldn't have nearly enough info to create a site about it as I have. Know what big guy? "From your mouth to Gods ears" as they say, I wish that were the case. Fuck my site and all the other sites out there. I truly wish there were no sites related to this. It gives me no solace at all to be able to garner all the info I've been able to over the years.....Now let's see how smart you REALLY are. Why is that?
How'd I do Colonel Rebel? Was I sarcastic and insulting enough for you? Or would you prefer "both barrels" next time around?
