Books I'm reading and comments about

Killing the Mob - Bill O'Reilly

I'll fix this section up more later with book covers, but just real quit reading Bill O'Reilly's book 'Killing the Mob'...and I may not have liked his politics when they were on Fox, but when it comes to writing, they're good at it, objective and fair when it comes to history.

Just want to say though his book starts with stories of Bonnie and Clyde, John Dellinger, 'Pretty boy Floyd', ect, people I don't really consider apart of the traditional organized Italian mob, I see the above more like 'Barn Yard' type prairie land bandits, robbers and thieves.

Not sure why Bonnie and Clyde in same book about Organized crime or the mob..Bonnie and Clyde had no mob connections.

Anyways, writing that 'note' down now so later can come back and elaborate on that discrepency or however spelled, to wore out to care about spelling.

This is a wonderful book, written in a way that makes you not want to put it down...and I'm not much of a book reader at all.

I'm learning a lot about organized crime in the early part of last century and one thing for sure, the mob, mafia, criminals, were deeply ingrained in much of everything that took place back then during the years that 'America was great'?

The Mafia ran every thing in New York, including the docks, the ports, all points of commerce, the Unions and longshoremen.

I've also learned and kind of already knew that rap labels like 'Murder Inc', well terms like that come directly from the early mob.
Lucky Luciano created 'Murder Inc', as a enforcement wing of his group to keep those within the 'crime syndicate' from breaking rules.

And the 'crime syndicate' was a alliance of different ethnic gangs, as in Irish mob, Jewish mob, ect.

Also learning how Lucky Luciano helped aid the U.S. Military in WW 2, and with the invasion of Normandy and other areas of the war.

The Mob controlled the docks, they knew everything, and without their help it would be hard for the U.S. to gain advantage over Germany.

The mob, back then, was like the second unofficial Government, is how powerful they were, and got away with much, even the police feared them, judges were paid off and so forth.

So when I hear people today say 'blacks commit more crimes', I realize now one has to be deliberately dishonest or stupid to make such a claim.

One thing I like about historical books is they tell the truth, even though this book co-written by Bill O'Reilly, someone I've jarred at in the past, he totally leaves politics out of this book.

I just wish he were as honest about his political commentary as he is when he writes books.

Cult of Glory



After reading this book, as a person of color, I realize the nation I've convinced myself 'I love' and is a decent place, really didn't begin until probably 1965, but prior to that, I realize now, if were put in a time machine and hurled back to any time or date prior to 1965, that America would of been a hellish place for me, assuming I went back in time with same skin tone I have now.

If white, it would of been a wonderful place prior to 1965 (not that if white, wouldn't have other non racial issues to contend with, but at least weren't hated by society and ostricized do to ethnicity, and had protection of the law)

In this back, the War between Mexico and the States is about to begin, after Texas as annexed, and those charged with leading this war or conflict, were among others 'un apologetic slave owners' and other just out and right 'ugly men', that is if you weren't white, if white, I suppose they would be your fighting Angels.

But if a slave, or Indian or mixed Mexican, they were demons.

But I'm an American, so how should I feel?

These men definitely weren't fighting for me, and back then could never imagine that someone with my skin tone would have equal access to 'all', and equal protection under the law, that's not what they were fighting for.

Even though birth is totally random, in that no once can control what Mother they're born unto, what color, what region, what nation, it's all random.

Flesh is not spirit, it's just random, any of those 'white men', back then, could of just as easily been born 'non white', and their view and position of the world, at that time, would be totally different.

But I'm drifting now into more spiritual type stuff.

I try to tell myself that those men were fighting for principles (well maybe not, can't even say that even after reading their journals and all, their idea of freedom and justice isn't what we think it today, they were more like pirates, who happened to be on the side of the U.S. Government)

Bottom line to this post, the more I actually read about America history, and the men from back then, and read their ugly journals of how they felt about non whites, the harder it becomes for me to now say 'America is a great Nation'.

When didn't know much, I could say that easily, and still want to say that, for who wants to not like their nation of birth, and is why I try to focus on the 'era' I was alive, rather than going way way back to before I was born.

So I guess the America I like, began at my birth, and involves my own memories, not others, but my own, and that's how I try to make sense of this ugly world I, we, live in.

More to follow as time allows.

Cult of Glory book



I continue to read this book, a few pages at a time, but each page gives a full life view into how things were 'back then', mainly for non whites, and particularly 'negroes' or 'Black folks' of that miserable era.

When I hear conservatives in the media talk about the 'good ole days', for whom, their white ancestors?

I mean sure, within each home, regardless of ethnicity, and while around your own family, good times can be had during even the worst social injustices, but sadly, if a negro back then, sooner or later you had to venture out the 'den', and into broader society which was ran by whites who had convinced themselves for generations that black folks were of no consequence at all what so ever, other than for labor.

This mindset continued well after slavery ended, maybe even got worse for a while, as the idea of former slaves now being on a even keel with 'Us whites', enraged white society even more.

At least a slave had value, meaning was owned, and so had at least basic protection, but as a freed slave, and or just a man walking down the street, zero value to white society, just a threat, and reading this book, this history, really demonstrates how so many non whites were killed, slain, murdered, at the hands of just 'common' suspender wearing back wood types, and nothing ever happened, even if caught, the jurors always, I mean always found them innocent on some technicality.

Is why it amazed me during the O.J. trial that all of white society claimed to be so dumb and never could imagine a jury being partial to the accused just do to race...are you kidding me?

That's all whites did up until around the mid to late 70's, was refuse to convict white folks for killing or seriously hurting black folks.

So for whites to pretend to be so outraged that some in the OJ case possibly did the same stunk of dishonesty to me, when that was the norm for whites to do for most of Americas history.

Not sure where this good sanitized clean history is out, that conservatives keep saying the schools must teach people.

They've never taught the real bloody history of this nation, not now, or then.

But I tell you what, read this book here, 'The Cult of Glory', and your eyes will be opened.

Not saying one must judge whites today, for what happened back then, but knowing what happened back then, knowing how preveliant the racist mindset was, helps some to understand why things are the way they are today.

Only now, today, oddly enough, every things starting to spin back into reverse, as hoards of people of color flood into nation, statues get torn down, white politicians sell nation out to highest world bidder, and more, the white mans paradise is for sure beginning to crumble.
