We have a bunch of video projects still on the drawing board, so we haven't discussed specifics yet. But at some point, we're thinking about producing one.



Probably one that explains how these camorra/ N'drangheta clans formed side by side with the Mafia families in the same areas, and outside of early 1900s mention of the Camorra, everything got pinned on the Mafia, or the Black Hand ,which was actully what except for early years the people were considering one and the same as the Mafia

Well, certain government files are publicly available if you know how to access them. For others, we have several proprietary sources.

Regarding the FOIA, you need to write directly to them in Washington, DC. They happen to be available online.

Mafia, former Carabinieri generals accused of obstruction of justice sent to trial: among them Falcone's historic collaborator
by Editorial Staff

November 20, 2024

The preliminary investigations judge of Caltanissetta, Graziella Luparello, has sent to trial the former generals of the Carabinieri Angiolo Pellegrini, 82 years old, a long-time collaborator of the judge Giovanni Falcone, and Alberto Tersigni, now retired. Both are accused of obstruction of justice.

Also on trial is former police officer Giovanni Peluso, accused of external complicity in mafia association. The two officers, who had been with the DIA for a long time, allegedly obstructed the investigations of the Prosecutor's Office to verify the statements of the repentant Pietro Riggio, a former prison police officer, later arrested on charges of being linked to mafia clans.

Pellegrini and Tersigni, in the early 2000s, managed the collaborator of justice, on whose reliability, however, many prosecutors have repeatedly expressed doubts. According to the prosecutors, they did not give due weight to the revelations of Riggio, their confidant at the time, revelations that, always according to the investigators, could have led to the capture of the fugitive Bernardo Provenzano and to the discovery of a plan to attack the former judge of the anti-mafia pool Leonardo Guarnotta.

Peluso, on the other hand, allegedly facilitated Cosa Nostra, among other things by favoring the fugitive status of the Corleonese boss. The trial will begin on January 14th in the Caltanissetta court.

Conn. couple stole nearly $1M of Lululemon merch in nation-wide theft scheme: cops
By Published Nov. 23, 2024, 10:55 p.m. ET

A Connecticut couple stole nearly $1 million worth of Lululemon merchandise during a two-month, cross-country theft spree, cops said.

Jadion Richards, 44, and Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, were busted on Nov. 14 for swiping the swanky fitness wear from shops in Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, New York and Connecticut since September, according to a criminal complaint obtained by multiple outlets.

The alleged theft-spree came to an end when Lululemon investigators noticed the high theft loss after the pair set off a security alarm while leaving a store in Woodbury, Minnesota.

Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, and Jadion Richards, 44, were each charged with organized retail theft. 4
Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, and Jadion Richards, 44, were each charged with organized retail theft.
Richards accused store employees of racially profiling him, according to the complaint, but the company investigator alleged the couple had stolen at least 45 items valued at $5,000 from several different locations the day before.

Officers arrested the couple and found several credit and debit cards, as well as a room key to a Marriott hotel room — where they discovered 12 suitcases, three of which were filled with Lululemon products worth approximately $50,000, according to the complaint.

The company investigator estimated the couple had stolen up to $1 million in product, according to the complaint, which didn’t elaborate on how he arrived at that figure.

The company investigator estimated the couple had stolen up to $1 million in product.

Most products at the retail giant can cost buyers anywhere from more than $50 for clothing, with sweatshirts costing upwards of $130.

“This outcome continues to underscore our ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and our investments in advanced technology, team training and investigative capabilities to combat retail crime and hold offenders accountable,” Lululemon’s vice president of asset production told NBC News.

“We remain dedicated to continuing these efforts to address and prevent this industry-wide issue.”

The alleged thieves used various methods to pilfer products, including distracting store employees while the other person concealed the fitness apparel under their clothes and jackets, the complaint said.

Police discovered 12 suitcases, three of which were filled with Lululemon merchandise worth approximately $50,000.

The couple, who are Danbury residents, have also been accused of eight thefts in Colorado in October and seven thefts in Utah earlier this month, USA Today reported.

Police charged the duo each with organized retail theft.

They were booked at Ramsey County Jail in Minnesota upon their arrests, but each made bail — Lawes-Richards on Tuesday and Richards on Thursday, NBC reported.

They are due back in court on Dec. 16.

Aaaah, the ButtonGuys secrets. lol.

Over the years, depending upon the particular project in mind and the scarcity of info readily available, we've used many different methods including the sources you listed.

And not to give away the shop, lol, but to try and answer your question, the above referenced abbreviations stand for the following; Freedom of Information Act, Syracuse Police Department, New York State Police, Mary Ferrell Foundation, and New York State Government Records Department.

With his four championships, Verstappen is one of the greatest in motorsport. Only Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher (both seven times) and Juan Manuel Fangio (five times) became world champions in Formula 1 more often. Sebastian Vettel and Alain Prost celebrated four world titles, just like Verstappen.

Their father was Michele Graviano, uomo d'onore that belonged to the Brancaccio Mafia family and was murdered by Gaetano Grado in 1982.

So I guess Benny is a sibling of one of Michele's brothers.

Dead horse, cows found on Italian business owner’s property in apparent mob move: ‘Barbarity’
Nov. 23, 2024


.......Clearly, someone’s got beef.

Butchered animals left on the property of a Sicilian businessman gave an intimidating message straight out of “The Godfather.”
A horse’s head was placed inside a digger owned by a well-known construction contractor in Altofonte near the Sicilian capital of Palermo last week, according to reports.

A butchered cow, along with its dead calf, were also found at the site.

A real horse’s head was used in the infamous scene in “The Godfather” when a movie producer wakes up to find his prized thoroughbred’s head in his bed.

Police are investigating the disturbing incident as a mafia intimidation tactic and believe the victim may have been targeted after being made an offer he dared to refuse, such as paying protection money or following mob orders.

The contractor claimed he had received warnings before finding the slain livestock, the Guardian reported.
“I was petrified, I can’t comprehend such barbarity,” Angela De Luca, the mayor of Altofonte, told the outlet.
“This act seems to take us back to the Middle Ages, with its unacceptable methods.”

Residents on the island fear 20 mafia members who recently finished their sentences and were released from prison and are seeking revenge could be behind the gruesome act.

Using dismembered animals to intimidate victims long predates the scene from “The Godfather,” in which a character wakes up to find the severed head of his prized thoroughbred horse in his bed, according to experts.

The mob uses it to terrorize victims and tap into the bonds it had with certain animals. The animals slain in Altofonte were from a neighboring property, according to officials.

In May, a goat’s head was reportedly found in front of the home of an entrepreneur in Palermo and in 2023, a pig’s head was hung at the gate of a police station in the northeast city of Messina.

The construction and garbage industries remain two of the most prominent business sectors in Sicily still plagued by mob activity, according to Italy’s Anti-Mafia Investigation Division.

How is Benny related to them he is the son of?
