What was Tammany Hall?
Tammany Hall was the Democratic headquarters in New York City and it was also Boss Tweed's office.Tammany Hall (Founded May 12, 1789 as the Tammany Society, and also known as the Society of St. Tammany, the Sons of St. Tammany, or the Columbian Order), was the Democratic Party political machine that played a major role in controlling New York City politics and helping immigrants (most notably the Irish) rise up in American politics from the 1790s to the 1960s. It usually controlled Democratic Party nominations and patronage in Manhattan from the mayoral victory of Fernando Wood in 1854 through the election of John P. O'Brien in 1932. Tammany Hall was permanently weakened by the election of Fiorello La Guardia on a "fusion" ticket of Republicans, reform-minded Democrats, and independents in 1934, and despite a brief resurgence in the 1950s, it ceased to exist in the 1960s.
Is Silvio Berlusconi related to the mafia?
I think he IS the mafia.Vittorio Mangano was a life-sentenced gangster that worked for years for Silvio Berlusconi as horsekeeper at his villa although it seems that there even were no horses.The judge Paulo Borsellino in his last interview called Mangano the mafia link to North Italy. Furthermore he mentioned there were several running investigations concerning Silvio Berlusconi, Vittorio Mangano and Marcello Dell'utri( co founder of Forza Italia and convicted until 9 years for external association with the mafia)This interview has only been transmitted by one television channel so in fact nobody in Italy has seen it...4 days later, his friend and colleaque judge Giovanni Falcone died in the 'starge di capaci'.Hunderd meters of highway were blown up.This man had to die...Two months later, Borsellino died in one of Italy's most brutal bomb attacks.His diary was never found...One week before the 2008 elections Silvio Berlusconi confirmed that Vittorio Mangano was a hero because he never said under pressure compromising things about Berlusconi and about the several times convicted and mafia related Senator Dell'Utri(video on youtube)Hans Ceustermans,BelgiumSource(s):Vittorio Mangano on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_ManganoPaulo Borsellino on Wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_BorsellinoThe last interview of judge Paolo Borsellinohttp://guerrillaradio.iobloggo.com/archive.php?eid=1207http://www.disinformazione.it/intervistaborsellino.htmSilvio Berlusconi on Youtube that confirms that Vitttorio Mangano was a herohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD4ixdKJzOEThe 'strage di Capaci'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Capaci_massacre.jpg***************************************************The origin of the fortune of Silvio Berlusconi has never been clarified. Hereunder all facts which are all described in the book "L'odore dei soldi"( The smell of money ) of Elio Veltri and Marco Travaglio published in 2001.Silvio Berlusconi tried two times to prosecute the authors for slander but lost both cases.The Milanese bank, "Banca Rasini", was cited by Michele Sindona (P2 lodge member just like Silvio Berlusconi) , as well as in numerous official documents drawn up by magistrates investigating the mafia, as the principle bank used by the the mafia for laundering dirty money in the north of Italy.Included among the Banca Rasini's clients were Pippo Calò, Totò Riina and Bernardo Provenzano, during the years in which they formed the "cupola" (leadership) of the mafia.In those same years a certain Signor Luigi Berlusconi, father of Silvio Berlusconi, was employed at the Banca Rasini, first as a clerk, then as "Procurator with signing rights", and finally as Manager.During the 1970s, a certain Signor Silvio Berlusconi registered twenty-three holding companies with the Banca Rasini as "Hairdresser's and Beautician's"...In 1979 the Customs Officer, Massimo Maria Berruti, resigned from the Italian "Guardia di Finanza". He had led the investigation by the "Guardia di Finanza" into the twenty-three holding companies registered with the Banca Rasini, and had subsequently been responsible for closing that investigation. Immediately after his resignation, a certain Signor Massimo Maria Berruti was hired by Berlusconi's main holding, Fininvest.Unfortunately, the archives of the Banca Rasini went up in flames due to a misterious fire...Source(s):Michele Sandonahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_SindonaBernardo Provenzanohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardo_ProvenzanoThe payment proof of P2 membership of Silvio Berlusconihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ricevuta_di_pagamento_per_l'iscrizione_del_dott._Silvio_Berlusconi_alla_loggia_massonica_P2.gif
