It occurred to me that we always discuss wars, or some politics and economics...never cool things like this...

For example...what if the old Sicilian guard (Anastasia, Luciano) had been able to maintain their power from the new guard (Gambino, Genovese) in the 1950s?

Or what if the Appalachin Meeting of 1957 had not been discovered by the authorities, as well as the existence of the National Crime Syndicate and the Cosa Nostra?

Or...WI Albert Anastasia had forseen what was about to happen and had Vito Genovese killed rather than the other way around?


Any thoughts? I know I can't be the only won who saw Goodfellas and the Godfather 50 times...:p
 
The fictional PoD would be Sonny Corleone shut up when Virgil Solonzo approaches don Corleone suggesting he support the drug smuggling. Other then that, great subject which I know very little about.
 
The alledged mafia support for the Sicilian invason and the posibilities that sourond it could be discussed.

Forget the Mafia. The Triad seized Taiwan from the Dutch in 1661 with a huge pirate fleet, and ruled it until 1683.

I thought it was that dude from one of Faeelin's TLs. But who am I to question the China master...

Anyhow, back to the Mafia. A few days ago, the governor of Sicily (or the equivalent position) was found guilty of corruption and assisting Mafia members under investigation

"Click me...mmm Click me harder"


I've always found the idea of a Sicilian government run de jure by the Mafia to be morbidly interesting...
