Hi Doc Sarvis

Thanks very much.

I've driven through Kinderhook many times and will look for that episode you mentioned.

The original Goodfellas book was just as good as the film.

In Goodfellas, Nicholas Pileggi and Henry Hill didn't know precisely who Tommy's assassin was, so they used an "old-timer" for the scene.

Henry Hill and Nicholas Pileggi would learn after the movie was produced and released that Tommy's hitman was allegedly John Gotti.

Henry and his cohorts were Lucchese Crime Family (LCF), but John Gotti was Gambino Crime Family (GCF), like we have the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF).

Billy Batts grew up in the LCF part of Queens, but ended up in the GCF and a "made man."

John Gotti supposedly disapproved of the magnificent Lufthansa heist at the JFK cargo area, calling it a "crazy Mick job" [sic] that would bring too much federal heat on the five crime families, which it did.

But methinks Gotti was also a bit envious. JFK airport and the arteries in and out were LCF territory, hence the lucrative truck jackings and weekly tribute Big Paulie from Jimmy the Gent.

Somewhere out there is a graveyard filled with dead female children murdered by rich and powerful men.

Hi Zed:

There is a rumor in federal law-enforcement circles that Jimmy Hoffa was buried somewhere on the large Michigan property of a member of the notorious "Purple Gang," Jewish assassins in Detroit that were used by the Italian mob to whack other Italians because as out-of-town Jews they wouldn't be recognized by the target in NYC or Chicago.

This particular Purple Gang member allegedly helped dispose of bodies since his great asset was his large rural property.

You said it, Clownshack.

Last century, JFK and Jackie gave us a thousand days of Camelot; Dummkopf Trumpf and Melanoma are going to give us 1,461 days of Gehenna.

And because the treasury has been depleted, institutions dismantled, federal employees fired, capital flight, and brain drain, the recovery process will be as if the US was destroyed in a war.

How many people will have died because of poverty, malnutrition, inadequate medical care, and wars between now and 21 Jan 2029?

We will need a post-Trumpf Marshall Plan, but who will provide the needed trillions in 2029? China? The EU? Canada?

At the MSC, California Gov Gavin Newsom (D) asked world leaders to be patient with the US and to stand up to Trumpf who "will be gone in three years."

Newsom has his eye on the White House and will need the help and forgiveness of world leaders should he become POTUS in 2028, so his appeal makes sense.

But these world leaders are more concerned now about their countries and national security than Newsom's future White House aspirations while we suffer in Gehenna.

Canada PM Mark Carney can do it. He was head of the Bank of England and Canada before becoming PM.

He was smart enough to have King Charles open up Canada's Parliament last year, something only done two or three times previously.

This PhD Trumpf-proofed Canada by passing legislation making trade and investment flow easier through the provinces which have different laws and powers than American states.

PM Carney got Canada into the Re-Arm Europe program ahead of schedule to by-pass the US and NATO.

He is getting Canada to deal more with Mexico and China, skipping around the US.

Unlike his amiable predecessor Justin Trudeau, PM Carney is unafraid of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, so he recognized the State of Palestine. To politically defend Greenland, Carney opened up a needless Consulate-General up there.

PM Carney wrote an Op-Ed for The Economist "by invitation" in Nov 2025.

No one at The Economist, NYT, WSJ, WaPo, Barron's, etc would ever ask the morbidly obese geriatric draft dodging pedophilic golf cheat to submit an editorial.
