Re: What was the Combaneesh?

bla bla bla You quoted me but posted no response. Was that a mistake? If so I'd like to hear what you and everyone else says. Looking at my article 3 on the structure I feel it could be expanded upon in regards to the Org Vs Op argument because that's a Camorra factor too. Edit: This? Since there i...

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Interesting fascination with numbers it seems. 24-48-96 etc.. Almost like they're into numerology. I guess it's the heritage and inspiration from freemasonry? It goes back to carbonari which is just a branch off of Freemasonry. I'll be covering this in Article 5 which explores the Camorra's true or...

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Article 4: Codex Modern 'ndrangheta keeps getting caught with written codes, rules, regulations, very much unlike the LCN which we all know and love. Well, the 'ndrangheta's origins are on full display in the camorra which also made use with written documents. https://americancamorra.substack.com/p/...

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

I keep forgetting.. but I got a few questions.. For one, have you guys encountered anyone from Crotone, Cosenza, or Cantazaro? Was this association present in those territories? Modern Ndrangheta in Crotone is something of a mystery to me. Was it always a separate thing that developed in parallel? ...

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

That would work if I was delving into the current stuff but the focus is more on the 19th and early 20th century system.

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

Does this make sense? In working on this project I realize people are from a mafia perspective which is why it's good to compare and contrast. As much as they share similarities they are very different beasts, structurally speaking. And this applies to the 'ndrangheta today if compared to the Mafia....

Re: What was the Combaneesh?

I must find this book, thanks for the tip,I didn't know this one. Later this week or the beginning of next I'll be releasing Article 4 with Tony as a co-author which deals with the camorra's own written documents. We explore them but will also include the original documents (and their translations....

Re: TMA: The Camorra's Influence on American Cosa Nostra

There were two brother camorristi from reggio who lived in NYC, one of the brothers married a woman from Agrigento who had relatives on E12th in Gambino territory. Also, the Milanos were not the only calabrese whom the Lonardo's were connected to. There was another calabrese who was on the run from ...

Some interesting 1916 camorra induction ceremony court transcripts from nyc murder trial. Explained is the induction ceremony Thanks for sharing that, was this published in a book somewhere?
