The mafia

 The Mafia started in the late 1800's in Northern Italy as the Cosa Nostra and later moved to Sicily where they gained more power and control. An offshoot formed in the USA, known as the Mob or the Mafia, as waves of Italian immigrants entered the country and claimed territories to run their organized crime rackets.

 The Mafia was and is all about organization. You have a team of about 5 people who are your street men. They go out and start looking for new ways to make money.  2- Prostitution.   3- The shops which they protect.  4- Gambling.   5- And finaly Real Estate.

 Drugs. In control of not only dealers but the buyers to. Anyone who doesn’t want to be seen driving to certain parts of the city can just stop by one of our shop/ houses. Anywhere from 300,000 to 1,000,000 annually

 Prostitution. The prostitutes weren’t just streetwalkers, they were strippers too.  About 200,000 ladies walk the streets Without breaks

 The shops which they protect. 10% off the top baby!! Anywhere from 200,000 to 400,000

 Gambling which is dying out as it moves more and more to Vegas. But if you aren’t afraid of operating out side of NY/NJ then you could get millions of dollars. If you’d like to stick to our territory, 100,000 dollars. 

 Real Estate in which you can lose hundreds of thousands or make millions of dollars. It all depends on how smart your street team and Consigliore are.

Where mafia originated from? The Mafia (also known as Cosa Nostra) is a criminal syndicate that emerged in the mid- nineteenth century in Sicily, Italy

DID THE MOB KILL JFK? JFK was trying to stop the whole mob organization and was also battling a war with North Korea. While JFK was riding through the parade he was assinanted by a mob member.

 Yes they did cause they have an recent show on TV called mob wives.

 The first Mafia groups in America started in New York City, where gangsters would threaten immigrants with extortion. By 1890, organized crime had spread to New Orleans, where the Police Superintendent was murdered, execution-style, allegedly by Mafia members.

 Sometimes they forgive their enemies but to throws that are not forgiven are tortured by getting cut off below the knee capor just get shot up badly.

 The most important day in most mobsters life, the day they get made and become a full member of La Cosa Nostra.  This ceremony is usually done in the basement of a fellow mobsters house.  At a table in the basement sit the boss, underboss, consigliere, and some capos of the family.

 The mobster is told that this is a secret society and there is one way in and one way out. You come in on your feet and you go out in a coffin.

 This thing of theirs is to be what comes first in their life which is the mafia, it comes before your blood family. If your mother was on her death bed and you were called for you couldn’t go. She just good as dead alone without her child.

The mobsters sponsor would then prick that finger until blood came out. The blood would then be put on a picture of a saint and the picture placed in the hands of the wise guy. Then the boss lights the picture on fire and while the wise guy juggles it in his hand the boss says: "If you divulged the secrets of our life your soul will burn in hell like this saint”. Then they would be made to give kisses to everybody on both cheeks.
