The Irishman is Martin Scorsese's sprawling adaptation of I Heard You Paint Houses, a 2004 book detailing the trueish story of Frank Sheeran, a mob hitman who was potentially the guy who killed Jimmy Hoffa. Set during the long tail of the 20th century, The Irishman conceives of all modern American history as one immense unfolding crime spree committed by backstabbing, self-interested morons.

Retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective Gary Jenkins reports his previous contributor, Matt, who he interviewed on a new theory on the Carmine Galante hit, answers questions we have seen on various social media outlets. Matt claims the U.S. attorney and the FBI got it wrong when they alleged and convicted Bruno Indelicato for this murder. Challenging the official story, Matt reveals new theories, missing evidence, and the role of younger mobsters in one of the Mafia's most infamous assassinations. In this bonus episode, I had Matt record his answers to the doubters of his theory. click here to see the book Made on Long Island.   [0:00] Well, hey, all you wiretappers out there, this is Gary Jenkins, as a lot of you know, retired Kansas City Police Intelligence Unit detective [0:06] and now podcast host and producer and all that. And I was contacted by my guest I had on recently, who was only known as Matt. He’s a guy who supplied all the information to the author of Brantley Scarbrough, who wrote Made in Long Island. That was just out a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve never met Scarborough, and I don’t know any more about him. and I’ve never met Matt in person. I’ve had some emails and some Zoom calls with Matt, but I’ve never actually seen him either. But I recognize his accent, and he does come from the Long Island, New York area. And he does have some interesting stories about growing up with younger mobsters and the Bonanno and Gambino families and doing the fireworks business with Gotti and some of the other horse racing fixing business and that kind of thing, but he made quite a claim that the accepted suspects and the hit on the banana wannabe boss, Carmine the Cigar Galante. [1:11] Was not who the government claims it is. [1:14] And the government only claims one guy, and that’s Bruno or Anthony Bruno Indelicato. He claims it was some young guys who had a grudge against Galante, and they heard that this hit was approved by the commission, and they jumped in there and did it before Joe Massino got his crew set and were all ready to go and carry out this approved hit. Now, there’s no dispute that the commission approved this hit, I don’t think. There may be some disagreement about who actually carried it out. I think there’s no doubt that the two Zips, who were bodyguards, Cesare Bonaventure and Baldassario Amato, did not resist the hit. They took no action and just walked out and left, and then were interviewed by the government later on. Of course, they wouldn’t say anything. They probably knew he was scheduled to be hit, and they knew this was coming. And both were promoted in the Bonanno family right after, so that tells you something. Now, in the commission trial, that’s where Anthony Delicato got convicted for the hit on Carmine Galante. And in the commission trial, the government did convict Tony Salerno, boss of the Genovese family. [2:26] Anthony Tony Dux Corralo, boss of the Lucchese family, Gennaro Jerry Lang Langella, the Colombo family acting boss and regular underboss, Salvatore Tom Mix Santoro, who was a Lucchese family underboss. Christopher Christie Tick Funari, Lucchese family consigliere. [2:45] Ralph, little Ralphie Scopo, the Colombo family soldier. Carmine Junior Persico, who was the boss of the Colombo crime family at that time. [2:55] Stefano Canone, Bonanno family consigliere. [3:00] Anthony Bruno Indelicato, Bonanno family capo. Paul Castellano and Mr. Neal, Neal Delacroche, were not in the trial because they died. They were charged, but they died just before the trial. Now, on the YouTube show we did, we got a lot of comments and Matt’s got a lot of questions. And he wants to address and clarify why he doesn’t believe that the government’s claim that Anthony Delacato and two unknown men killed Galante. So I said, you know, I don’t know what to tell you. I said, you know, record and clarify your claim and see if you can address any of these questions that people have had in the comments section. Now, this may end up like all the competing theories on Jimmy Hoffa’s death and where his body by body might be. I don’t know. But at least Frank Sheeran, the Irishman, did not claim the Galante hit as best I can remember. So anyhow, here’s Matt’s story. I just want to say thank you so much for the interest we’ve generated from Gary’s Gangland podcast. [4:03] A lot of learning goes on here, and that’s where I’m going to start off. One item keeps coming up, and believe me, I’m not being the slightest bit condescending. If you don’t study this stuff and look at it, you have no way of knowing this. If you were to punch in right now, because we’ve done it, like Google searches, what evidence was used against Bruno and Delicato? Well, one thing that comes up, and a couple people referenced in the emails and on the posts, was ballistics. [4:27] They had ballistic evidence against Bruno Indelicato. Boy, that’s pretty strong. I mean, ballistic evidence is very, very strong. So let’s go through the ballistic evidence. Let me start off by saying there’s none. What you’re reading on that, and if you read the fine print closely and go back to the source, that is AI-generated garbage. That’s why we don’t like AI. The definition of ballistic evidence would be something like this. We pulled a slug out of a wall. We pulled a slug out of a victim. We locked a guy up. The guy had that gun on him. We matched that slug to that gun. That is ballistic evidence. There was absolutely none of that presented against Bruno Indelicato, despite what AI says. Again, if you take away one thing, please take away the fact that don’t ever use AI as a source. Now, I know one other thing people asked about was the progression on all this. And again, the book details it with so many stories, so many different John Gotti stories in there that people never heard about. But here’s a brief summary of the progression. [5:28] Our friends were young. We were crazy. We dealt fireworks. We dealt so much, they had to bring in the boss. The boss at that time for that area was John Gotti. To us, it was the same as John Smith. We never heard of the guy. He was great to us. We sold a ton of fireworks. He gave us more and more locations, more and more responsibility. Our friends made a fortune. One of our friends, we thought, had a car accident. Two of the bodyguards who helped our friends kill Galante, Baldo and Chesaree, they approached us at a wake and said, look, your friend was not the victim of an accident. Your friend was the victim of a homicide authorized by Galante. We verified there was bulletholes in his car from the impound yard, from the police sources we had. Kept it under wraps for two years. One of the card games, Angelo got word to our friend Tommy that the commission, in fact, did authorize a hit on Galante. The hit was to be done conjunctively with the Gambinos and the Bananos. Our friend Tommy jumped the gate. He said, we’re going to avenge our friend’s death, put together the team that did it. The details are shocking about what our team did to get the hit done. I mean, details you’re shocked about an alibi jumping off of a boat to create an alibi. I want people to read about this. Having police sources helping the hit, Including holding the spaces on July 12th When the hit went down Holding two different parking spaces at that location I hope this helps people Now I want to get back to another one that keeps coming up People keep saying Oh well they’re on tape celebrating. [6:57] People, please, we’ve made some videos on this at YouTube. Go look at them. You can pull them up. They’re online. You can find them. [7:05] There’s a bunch of sources that have them. Watch the raw video. That is not a celebration. That is a beef being put in. Sonny Red Indelicato is furious. He’s going at it with his consigliere, Stefano Canaan, Stevie Beefs. And you can see in his face, you can see his body language and mannerisms. He walks away from him and then he rushes back quickly and goes to his face. That is not a celebration. That’s anger. Stefano Canone actually points in back of him, pointing at the Ravenite. And he’s basically telling him, look, we’ve registered the beef. Neil is inside. Neil is trying to decipher all of this also, because, again, the whole conflict was this. The commission ordered this hit. People say, oh, they approved that. I’m telling you, the commission, the ones who ordered the hit, they gave the work to Joe Massino, who was going to oversee the job. However, the commission specified that it had to be done jointly between the Gambino family and the Bonanno family. Sonny Red and Indelicato was furious that he was left out of the hit. Simultaneously, John Gotti over in Ozone Park, Queens, was furious that he was let out of the hit. [8:19] You just have to understand, in Cosa Nostra, you do not go out and celebrate a hit after it’s done. You don’t even show your face. Everything in a hit like this is meticulously planned and organized. You know exactly where the getaway cars are going to go and who’s going to chop them up. There is no shot in the world that an expert like Sonny Redd is going to leave a getaway car from a triple homicide out in the middle of the street. That does not happen. Let me tell you something. That’s called botching a hit, both of those acts. If you botch a hit in Cosa Nostra, you’re the next one on the other end of the next hit. You’re going to get hit. There’s plenty of cases where people screwed up hits and didn’t dispose of vehicles properly, and they’re the next ones to get hit. So anyone who thinks it’s a celebration and thinks that that’s Cosa Nostra protocol to go out and celebrate is sadly mistaken. That’s why right away the FBI and Cosa Nostra members knew, obviously, Sonny Red Indelicato, his brother JB, Phil Lucky, Bruno and Delicato, all those guys had nothing to do with the hit. If they did, they would have been buried in a safe house. They would not be out in front of what we call the FBI screen test at Mr. Neal’s Club, the Ravenite in Manhattan. Now, people also say another phrase or two that I really love, the smell test. Okay, the smell test. Let’s talk about that. You had two trials going on simultaneously in 1985. [9:48] Same building, Brooklyn, Pizza Connection case and the commission case. The FBI had been broken down into five different squads, one for each family. You know them all, Colombo, Gambino, Lucchese, Genovese, and of course, the Bonanno. Now, the Bonanno section of the FBI, the Bonanno squad, had the most to do in these cases. Most, if not all, the pizza connection focused on the Bonannos, and a good chunk, especially 100% of the Gallant they hit, focused on the Bonannos, and that was in the commission case. These guys talk to each other. They live, eat, and breathe with each other. So if you want to talk about a smell test, can somebody tell me why in Richard Martin, he was the prosecutor, by the way, in the Pizza Connection case, they absolutely refused to say who killed Delonte in that case? [10:39] They came out and said in the indictment and in testimony, three unknown males killed Delonte. [10:46] Now, people talk about it’s easy to see. Bruno and Delicato did it. So you want to tell me that five and six years after the hit, FBI agents that were on the Banano squad, they couldn’t come out and say Bruno and Delicato did it. Why? Because they knew he didn’t. They didn’t want to get a perjury rap. Richard Martin didn’t want to blow his case by telling nonsense that Bruno and Delicato did it. If it was common knowledge that Bruno Indelicato did it, and if there was a legitimate shred of evidence that Bruno Delicato did the work, the Pizza Connection case would have also said Bruno Indelicato is one of the shooters. It did not. That’s what doesn’t pass the smell test. But they even went to an appellate court to throw out any testimony about Galante’s murder in the Pizza Connection case. And sure enough, the judge agreed and said, yeah, we’re not putting one stitch of Galante’s murder in the Pizza Connection case. Now, had those FBI agents in the Bonanno Squad had presented legitimate evidence against Bruno and Delicato in the Pizza Connection case, be it ballistic, be it anything, the judge wouldn’t have done that, but he did. Read the transcripts of the case we have. There was nothing like that presented against Bruno in that case. And again, that’s why the FBI in the Pizza Connection case kept saying, we have no idea who killed Carmine Galante. That is critical for people to understand. [12:10] And last note, I want to get on to people wondering about the Joe Messino angle. Yes, Joe Messino, when he flipped right out after his conviction, he gave up murders all the way back from 1969. Now, Joe Mezzino had a motivation. If he left out any crime or any detail and failed to disclose anything, they throw him out of the program. They did the same to gas pipe case, so they threw him out of the program. So Joe Messino, of course, is going to tell the feds every single thing he knew about the Bonanno family’s involvement with the Galante hit. [12:46] Joe Messino, you know, did come out and say, yes, he got the order and he informed Rusty about the hit. But notice that’s when the trail stops. Joe Messina, who was a hands on guy, never came back and said, hey, Sonny Red did the hit with his kid Bruno and his brother JB. He gave them no details why because he didn’t have details thank you so much again for all of your questions and comments so guys that’s matt’s reasoning and that’s his story the government did not charge or convict any of the others for this murder any other people for this murder in that commission trial now those guys who were convicted were convicted for racketeering under rico and the murder of Galante was not a racketeering. That was a criminal predicate offense that proved that there was an organization known as a commission. It existed, and they ordered criminal acts. And this was a criminal act that they ordered. They need a predicate act where they’ve ordered criminal acts. And the Galante hit was one of them, and murder’s the best one to throw out there. And I think they convicted him based on his palm print on the getaway car that they found. [13:55] They never claimed during the trial to know the other two hit men. So I’ll leave it up to you guys to argue this out in the comments section on my YouTube shows with Matt or on this one here. And he’ll be monitoring those and, you know, come back with any questions that you have. So thanks, Matt, for this interesting look at Young Associates of Gotti and the fireworks business and the horse race fixing business and your theory based on information from your friends in the younger element of the New York mob. And you were kind of on the periphery of that yourself and the people that you [14:29] talked to that were really basically were involved in this hit and the setup. I thought it was really slick using cops to block out parking spots and then to pull out if it was all good to go. And leave the area so that’s uh didn’t have ring cameras and all the cameras back then so we’re gonna never know how much all that’s true you know but it’s uh history is is kind of an agreed upon set of facts or lies or whatever because eventually we agree upon it and that’s becomes the history and this is some of the history of the new york mob in the 70s to the 80s and the murder of Lilo or Carmine the Cigar Galante. Thanks, guys, so much for tuning in. And don’t forget to hit on YouTube, like and subscribe. Post this on your own social media pages and let other people know about the show. We like to get a lot of people watching or listening and watching to the show.

Vänner till döden: Vad Aristoteles kan berätta om ”The Irishman”

Vänskap är ett begrepp som har sysselsatt tänkare i åtminstone 2400 år. Mikael Timm ansluter sig till grubblarna och tar hjälp av Martin Scorsese. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen sänd 2020-08-20.Ordet ”vän” behöver ingen förklaring, men det behöver ordet ”vänskap”.Grunden för systematiskt tänkande om begreppet ger Aristoteles som definierar tre olika sorter: sådan vänskap man har nytta av, sådan man har nöje av och så en tredje sorts perfekt vänskap när vännerna delar allt utan egennyttiga intressen. De flesta skulle kanske invända att de tre kan flyta ihop, men låt oss ta det i Aristoteles ordning.Sociologen Pierre Bourdieu slog igenom drygt 2000 år efter Aristoteles med sina studier av vänskap som baseras på utbyte av tjänster, alltså Aristoteles första art av vänskap. Verkligen inget nytt – men det som väckte uppmärksamhet var att Bourdieu hävdade att systemet också gällde inom det kulturella fältet. Vänskap, som vi uppfattar som något mycket individuellt, skulle alltså följa samma mönster överallt.Att det är bra med vänner som kan hjälpa en är självklart men Aristoteles framhåller att det inte gäller att ha för många vänner – för vem hinner med att utföra alla dessa gentjänster? Man bör alltså skaffa sig just så många vänner som man har behov av. Denna första sorts vänskap kräver beräkningar.Den andra sortens vänskap, den som man har nöje av, låter trevligare. Men Aristoteles ser förstås problem. Dels är det svårt att dela känslor och tid med en massa människor, dels bör ju ens vänner också vara vänner sinsemellan. Kan bli krångligt om man också tar hänsyn till den första sortens vänskap med tjänster och gentjänster. Och är det inte något skumt med den som har en massa vänner? Har hen en enda sann vän, är inte vännerna egentligen beundrare, snyltare eller bara festande affärsbekanta?Skummisarna i Martin Scorseses film The Irishman funderar inte på detta. Sheeran, (spelad av Robert de Niro) en lite grovhuggen chaufför som är torped och hans mentor Russell Buffalino (spelad av Joe Pesci) mördar sig igenom decennierna och blir allt bättre vänner. Deras vänskap är visserligen från början nyttoinriktad, alltså kategori ett hos Aristoteles. Men den övergår till nästa nivå – de har roligt tillsammans i pauserna mellan morden. Och mot slutet är de verkligen vänner utan utbyte av tjänster. De befinner sig i den oegennyttiga – och framtidslösa - vänskapens sista stadium som för dem också är livets sista stadium."The Irishmans" storhet är inte intrigen, skildringen av brottlighetens koppling till politiken utan vänskapen som just därför att den omges av grymhet är gripande och öm. Ja, Aristoteles tredje kategori av vänskap ligger inte så långt från kärleken. Så vad skiljer dem åt:Det har sagts att berättelser om kärlek visar hur man kan knyta an till en specifik individ, medan berättelser om vänskap visar hur man kan knyta an till livet självt.Jag vet inte om vi får de vänner vi förtjänar eller får vi kanske de vänner vi inte förtjänar. Hmm…Eller så får vi inga alls. När Jacques Derrida på 80-talet gav en serie föreläsningar om vänskap var det helt i tidens anda. Han var den store dekonstruktören som öppnade välbekanta begrepp som man öppnar konservburkar och tömde ut innehållet på laboratoriebänken. Föreläsningarna blev en bok som Derrida inleder med Aristoteles ord ”Åh vänner, ingen vän”. Eller talspråkligt: ”Oh, mina vänner, det finns ingen vän” Vad menar Aristoteles – finns det ingen verklig vänskap? Eller fanns det inga vänner bland lyssnarna?Derrida utgick från en felöversättning. Aristoteles menade nog helt enkelt att den som har många vänner inte har någon. Men felöversättningen var en bra utgångspunkt för Derrida som var ute efter något annat än att förstå vänskapens psykologi. Han såg vänskap som ett politiskt fenomen och försökte via vänskapen förstå individens plats i kollektivet.Men Derrida var ofta lika mystisk som klarläggande. Texten glimrar vackrast när han belyser hemligheternas betydelse för vänskap – något som varje barn som varit medlem i ett hemligt sällskap känner till och som protagonisterna i The Irishman erfar.De som delar en hemlighet delar sina själar.Derrida påpekar att man ser sig själv i sin vän. Möjligen är det förutsättningen för både hemligheter och vänskap. Men finns där redan från början en önskan om att överleva den andre? Ser vi vännens död i samma ögonblick vi delar något med vännen?Liksom ett barn kan föreställa sig hur de orättvisa föräldrarna gråter vid barnets grav föreställer sig Derrida vännernas mumlande vid graven. Men det räcker inte att sörja den döde vännen. Derrida menar att man måste kunna se framtiden i vänskapen, alltså en framtid utan vännen.Hans bok är skriven i klyftan – låt mig säga avgrunden – mellan samhälle och individ. Då blir den självklara frågan: Kan vänskap vara en modell för hur politiken bör fungera?I så fall bör vi betänka att Aristoteles menade att för att vänskap ska existera måste vännerna vara jämställda. Vänskap mellan människor med alltför olika tillgångar fungerar inte.Den italienske sociologen Francesco Alberoni publicerade i början av 80-talet en bok om Vänskap. Man skulle kunna tro att han som sociolog skulle närma sig ämnet realpolitiskt men begreppet vänskap låter sig inte trivialiseras.”Det är med vänskap som med renhet: det behövs bara en liten dos förorening för att en substans inte längre ska vara ren” menar Alberoni som också säger att det inte går att rädda en förlorad vänskap. När tilltron är förlorad är den förlorad för alltid.Han menar i likhet med Aristoteles att vänskap bygger på jämlikhet. Men Alberoni går längre än Aristoteles och beskriver vänskapen som en ideal form av kärlek eftersom parterna är jämställda vilket de inte är i en kärleksrelation.Undrar just om de italiensktalande gangstrarna i The Irishman hörde talas om Alberoni. Förmodligen inte, de läste nog mest om mord i tidningen. Men de kunde ha instämt i den italienske sociologens synpunkt. Vännerna är viktigare än makarna i filmen. När deras familjer är borta når deras vänskap perfekt balans. När Frank och Russell är gamla, utslagna och maktlösa behöver de inte balansera känslor mot nytta.En som skulle förstått svårigheterna i denna balansakt är Cicero, antikens bäste talare. Cicero såg vänskap inte som psykologi, inte som utbyte av tjänster utan som en form av godhet, nästan en ideologi: goda senatorer skulle tillsammans sträva efter goda mål. Dygden skulle sprida sig och man skulle kunna lita på varandra.Vänskap var alltså för Cicero ett idealtillstånd. Och sann vänskap skulle utmärkas av uppriktighet… Ja, vi kan se var svårigheterna börjar. Inte långt efter att Cicero hade avslutat boken om vänskap blir han mördad. De blir också de flesta i The Irishmans cirkel av vänner. Filmen slutar och börjar på ett ålderdomshem där torpeden minns sitt liv.I Montaignes berömda essä om vänskapen till Etienne de la Boétie minns essäisten sin vän i ett förklarat ljus. Det gör inte Frank Sheeran. Han minns det förflutna med obarmhärtig klarhet.Ingen försoning är möjlig, det goda fanns bara i gemenskapen med Russel Buffalino trots att det var denne som gjorde Frank Sheeran till mördare. Jimmy Hoffa, deras gemensamma vän, en officiell makthavare, var i grunden solospelare och måste därför mördas av vännerna. Som Cicero. De två maktpelarna förstod inte den grundläggande regeln: Utan vänskap inget liv.Mikael Timmkulturjournalist, filmare och författare samt tidigare medarbetare på Sveriges Radios kulturredaktion

The Irishman is, arguably, the last great mob movie. Directed by Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Killers of the Flower Moon) and features a huge ensemble cast including Robert De Niro (Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, A Bronx Tale), Joe Pesci (Casino, Goodfellas, Home Alone), Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Piano), Anna Paquin (X-Men, True Blood, The Piano), Stephen Graham (This Is England, Snatch, Boiling Point) and many more. It also stars Al Pacino in his first ever team-up with Scorsese. Something film fans have been waiting years for.

When Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa headed to a "meeting" in July of 1975 with two leaders of the local underworld he had no idea the betrayal he probably encountered. While this is the 49th year of his disappearance the most likely scenario is that his best friend ended his life in some misguided decision of loyalty. Frank Sheeran's death bed confession in his biography "I Hear You Paint Houses," was startling and is the mostly likely scenario. The biography was the source material for Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman." Hear the story in this weeks episode.

Happy 300th Flixwatcher! In this special birthday episode Sam Pay and Martin Zaltz Austwick from Song by Song join Flixwatcher to review Helen's choice The Irishman. The Irishman is a 2019 Martin Scorsese film, based on the non-fiction book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt, it tells the story of Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran a truck driver who becomes a hitman for the mob. Robert De Niro stars as Frank Sheeran, Joe Pesci stars as Russell Bufalino, the crime boss of the Bufalino mafia and counsel to Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino. Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, Stephen Graham and Harvey Keitel also star in supporting roles. The Irishman is notable for its 209 minute runtime - three hours and 29 minutes of mob violence and International Brotherhood of Teamsters - labour unions in the US. Recommendability for The Irishman was mixed, despite general consensus that is it a very interesting film, the three hour plus runtime goes against it. Unsurprisingly the repeat viewing scores very quite low and overall The Irishman scores 3.36. Enjoyed Sam and Martin as hosts?

“Associate – An associate is not a member of the Mafia, but works for a crime family nonetheless. Associates can include a wide range of people who work for the family. An associate can have a wide range of duties, from virtually carrying out the same duties as a soldier to being a simple errand boy. This is where prospective mobsters ("connected guys") start out to prove their worth. Once a crime family is accepting new members, the best associates of Italian descent are evaluated and picked to become soldiers. An associate can also be a criminal who serves as a go-between in criminal transactions or sometimes deals in drugs to keep police attention off the actual members, or they can simply be people the family does business with (restaurant owners, etc.) In other cases, an associate might be a corrupt labor union delegate or businessman.[66] Non-Italians will never go any further than this, although many non-Italian associates of the Mafia, such as Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Murray Humphreys, Mickey Cohen, Frank Rosenthal, Gus Alex, Bumpy Johnson, Frank Sheeran, Jimmy Hoffa, Jake Guzik, Gerard Ouimette, and James Burke, wielded extreme power within their respective crime families and carried the respect of actual Mafia members. Soldier (Soldato in Italian) – A soldato or “soldier” is an inducted (or “made”) member of the Mafia in general and an inducted member of a particular Mafia crime family, and traditionally they can only be of full Italian background (although today many families require men to be of only half Italian descent, on their father's side). Once a member is made he is untouchable, meaning permission from a soldier's boss must be given before he is murdered. When the books are open, meaning that a family is accepting new members, a made man may recommend an up-and-coming associate to be a new soldier. Soldiers are the main workers of the family, usually committing crimes like assault, murder, extortion, intimidation, etc. In return, they are given profitable rackets to run by their superiors and have full access to their family's connections and power. Consigliere – The consigliere is an advisor to the family and sometimes seen as the boss's "right-hand man". He is used as a mediator of disputes and often acts as a representative or aide for the family in meetings with other families, rival criminal organizations, and important business associates. In practice, the consigliere is normally the third-ranking member of the administration of a family and was traditionally a senior member carrying the utmost respect of the family and deeply familiar with the inner-workings of the organization. A boss will often appoint a trusted close friend or personal advisor as his official consigliere. Caporegime (or capo) – A caporegime (also captain or skipper) is in charge of a crew, a group of soldiers who report directly to him. Each crew usually contains 10–20 soldiers and many more associates. A capo is appointed by the boss and reports to him or the underboss. A captain gives a percentage of his (and his underlings') earnings to the boss and is also responsible for any tasks assigned, including murder. In labor racketeering, it is usually a capo who controls the infiltration of union locals. If a capo becomes powerful enough, he can sometimes wield more power than some of his superiors. In cases like Anthony Corallo they might even bypass the normal Mafia structure and lead the family when the boss dies.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

Vänskap intill döden: Vad Aristoteles kan berätta om "The Irishman"

OBS

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 20, 2020 10:03


Vänskap är ett begrepp som har sysselsatt tänkare i åtminstone 2400 år. Mikael Timm ansluter sig till grubblarna och tar hjälp av Martin Scorsese. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ordet vän behöver ingen förklaring, men det behöver ordet vänskap. Grunden för systematiskt tänkande om begreppet ger Aristoteles som definierar tre olika sorter: sådan vänskap man har nytta av, sådan man har nöje av och så en tredje sorts perfekt vänskap när vännerna delar allt utan egennyttiga intressen. De flesta skulle kanske invända att de tre kan flyta ihop, men låt oss ta det i Aristoteles ordning. Sociologen Pierre Bourdieu slog igenom drygt 2000 år efter Aristoteles med sina studier av vänskap som baseras på utbyte av tjänster, alltså Aristoteles första art av vänskap. Verkligen inget nytt men det som väckte uppmärksamhet var att Bourdieu hävdade att systemet också gällde inom det kulturella fältet. Vänskap, som vi uppfattar som något mycket individuellt, skulle alltså följa samma mönster överallt. Att det är bra med vänner som kan hjälpa en är självklart men Aristoteles framhåller att det inte gäller att ha för många vänner för vem hinner med att utföra alla dessa gentjänster? Man bör alltså skaffa sig just så många vänner som man har behov av. Denna första sorts vänskap kräver beräkningar. Den andra sortens vänskap, den som man har nöje av, låter trevligare. Men Aristoteles ser förstås problem. Dels är det svårt att dela känslor och tid med en massa människor, dels bör ju ens vänner också vara vänner sinsemellan. Kan bli krångligt om man också tar hänsyn till den första sortens vänskap med tjänster och gentjänster. Och är det inte något skumt med den som har en massa vänner? Har hen en enda sann vän, är inte vännerna egentligen beundrare, snyltare eller bara festande affärsbekanta? Skummisarna i Martin Scorseses film The Irishman funderar inte på detta. Sheeran, (spelad av Robert de Niro) en lite grovhuggen chaufför som är torped och hans mentor Russell Buffalino (spelad av Joe Pesci) mördar sig igenom decennierna och blir allt bättre vänner. Deras vänskap är visserligen från början nyttoinriktad, alltså kategori ett hos Aristoteles. Men den övergår till nästa nivå de har roligt tillsammans i pauserna mellan morden. Och mot slutet är de verkligen vänner utan utbyte av tjänster. De befinner sig i den oegennyttiga och framtidslösa - vänskapens sista stadium som för dem också är livets sista stadium. "The Irishmans" storhet är inte intrigen, skildringen av brottlighetens koppling till politiken utan vänskapen som just därför att den omges av grymhet är gripande och öm. Ja, Aristoteles tredje kategori av vänskap ligger inte så långt från kärleken. Så vad skiljer dem åt: Det har sagts att berättelser om kärlek visar hur man kan knyta an till en specifik individ, medan berättelser om vänskap visar hur man kan knyta an till livet självt. Jag vet inte om vi får de vänner vi förtjänar eller får vi kanske de vänner vi inte förtjänar. HmmEller så får vi inga alls. Enligt en undersökning 2014  är en och en halv miljon svenskar socialt ensamma, vilket innebär att de inte har någon vän  som de kan lita på för att få hjälp och uppmuntran.  Brist på vänskap kan sålunda ses som ett samhälleligt problem. När Jacques Derrida på 80-talet gav en serie föreläsningar om vänskap var det helt i tidens anda. Han var den store dekonstruktören som öppnade välbekanta begrepp som man öppnar konservburkar och tömde ut innehållet på laboratoriebänken. Föreläsningarna blev en bok som Derrida inleder med Aristoteles ord Åh vänner, ingen vän. Eller talspråkligt: Oh, mina vänner, det finns ingen vän Vad menar Aristoteles finns det ingen verklig vänskap? Eller fanns det inga vänner bland lyssnarna? Derrida utgick från en felöversättning. Aristoteles menade nog helt enkelt att den som har många vänner inte har någon. Men felöversättningen var en bra utgångspunkt för Derrida som var ute efter något annat än att förstå vänskapens psykologi. Han såg vänskap som ett politiskt fenomen och försökte via vänskapen förstå individens plats i kollektivet. Men Derrida var ofta lika mystisk som klarläggande. Texten glimrar vackrast när han belyser hemligheternas betydelse för vänskap något som varje barn som varit medlem i ett hemligt sällskap känner till och som protagonisterna i The Irishman erfar. De som delar en hemlighet delar sina själar. Derrida påpekar att man ser sig själv i sin vän. Möjligen är det förutsättningen för både hemligheter och vänskap. Men finns där redan från början en önskan om att överleva den andre? Ser vi vännens död i samma ögonblick vi delar något med vännen? Liksom ett barn kan föreställa sig hur de orättvisa föräldrarna gråter vid barnets grav föreställer sig Derrida vännernas mumlande vid graven. Men det räcker inte att sörja den döde vännen. Derrida menar att man måste kunna se framtiden i vänskapen, alltså en framtid utan vännen. Hans bok är skriven i klyftan låt mig säga avgrunden mellan samhälle och individ. Då blir den självklara frågan: Kan vänskap vara en modell för hur politiken bör fungera? I så fall bör vi betänka att Aristoteles menade att för att vänskap ska existera måste vännerna vara jämställda. Vänskap mellan människor med alltför olika tillgångar fungerar inte. Den italienske sociologen Francesco Alberoni publicerade i början av 80-talet en bok om Vänskap. Man skulle kunna tro att han som sociolog skulle närma sig ämnet realpolitiskt men begreppet vänskap låter sig inte trivialiseras. Det är med vänskap som med renhet: det behövs bara en liten dos förorening för att en substans inte längre ska vara ren menar Alberoni som också säger att det inte går att rädda en förlorad vänskap. När tilltron är förlorad är den förlorad för alltid. Han menar i likhet med Aristoteles att vanskap bygger pa jamlikhet. Men Alberoni går längre än Aristoteles och beskriver vänskapen som en ideal form av kärlek eftersom parterna är jämställda vilket de inte är i en kärleksrelation. Undrar just om de italiensktalande gangstrarna i The Irishman hörde talas om Alberoni. Förmodligen inte, de läste nog mest om mord i tidningen. Men de kunde ha instämt i den italienske sociologens synpunkt. Vännerna är viktigare än makarna i filmen. När deras familjer är borta når deras vänskap perfekt balans. När Frank och Russell är gamla, utslagna och maktlösa behöver de inte balansera känslor mot nytta. En som skulle förstått svårigheterna i denna balansakt är Cicero, antikens bäste talare. Cicero såg vänskap inte som psykologi, inte som utbyte av tjänster utan som en form av godhet, nästan en ideologi: goda senatorer skulle tillsammans sträva efter goda mål. Dygden skulle sprida sig och man skulle kunna lita på varandra. Vänskap var alltså för Cicero ett idealtillstånd. Och sann vänskap skulle utmärkas av uppriktighet  Ja, vi kan se var svårigheterna börjar. Inte långt efter att Cicero hade avslutat boken om vänskap blir han mördad. De blir också de flesta i The Irishmans cirkel av vänner. Filmen slutar och börjar på ett ålderdomshem där torpeden minns sitt liv. I Montaignes berömda essä om vänskapen till Etienne de la Boétie minns essäisten sin vän i ett förklarat ljus. Det gör inte Frank Sheeran. Han minns det förflutna med obarmhärtig klarhet. Ingen försoning är möjlig, det goda fanns bara i gemenskapen med Russel Buffalino trots att det var denne som gjorde Frank Sheeran till mördare. Jimmy Hoffa, deras gemensamma vän, en officiell makthavare, var i grunden solospelare och måste därför mördas av vännerna. Som Cicero. De två maktpelarna förstod inte den grundläggande regeln: Utan vänskap inget liv. Mikael Timm, kulturjournalist och författare

Northern Arizona Elite coach Ben Rosario joins Scott to discuss "The Irishman." The film garnered 10 Oscar nominations. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese's epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics. They share their insight into the conspiracy theories regarding the death of Jimmy Hoffa, why the movie is rightfully three and a half hours, where does this rank among all mob movies in history.

"The Irishman is great art . . . but it is not, as we know, great history . . . Frank Sheeran . . . surely didn’t kill Hoffa . . . But who pulled the trigger? . . . For some of the real story, and for a great American tale in itself, you want to go to Jack Goldsmith’s book, In Hoffa’s Shadow.” —Peggy Noonan, The Wall Street Journal"In Hoffa’s Shadow is compulsively readable, deeply affecting, and truly groundbreaking in its re-examination of the Hoffa case . . . a monumental achievement." —James Rosen, The Wall Street JournalAs a young man, Jack Goldsmith revered his stepfather, longtime Jimmy Hoffa associate Chuckie O’Brien. But as he grew older and pursued a career in law and government, he came to doubt and distance himself from the man long suspected by the FBI of perpetrating Hoffa’s disappearance on behalf of the mob. It was only years later, when Goldsmith was serving as assistant attorney general in the George W. Bush administration and questioning its misuse of surveillance and other powers, that he began to reconsider his stepfather, and to understand Hoffa’s true legacy.In Hoffa’s Shadow tells the moving story of how Goldsmith reunited with the stepfather he’d disowned and then set out to unravel one of the twentieth century’s most persistent mysteries and Chuckie’s role in it. Along the way, Goldsmith explores Hoffa’s rise and fall and why the golden age of blue-collar America came to an end, while also casting new light on the century-old surveillance state, the architects of Hoffa’s disappearance, and the heartrending complexities of love and loyalty.

Martin Scorsese dissed Marvel films last year. Dissed them hard. Luckily for him, as much as I am a ride-or-die MCU fan, I’m also professional AF, so I was able to put my personal feelings to one side when discussing his new pile of bullshit, The Irishman. • Telling the story of a professional hitman, the film covers decades in the life of Frank Sheeran, utilizing top notch de-aging technology to allow Robert De Niro to play him at all ages. The technology is also used in a lot of Marvel films, and used a lot better IMO, but that’s neither here nor there. • It’s been nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. But is it any good? • To help me decide, I enlisted the help of a woman who is allergic to films over two and a half hours, Tiffany B, to chat about Hulk Hogan, riding feminist horses so long you get saddle sore, and challenging Robert de Niro to a fist fight. • There's a spoiler-free section, followed by a spoiler-filled, so if you've seen the film or not, there's something for you to listen to! • Cheers!

Armed with a newfound sense of vigour and purpose, we storm into 2020 with the first Required Reading for over a year. Let’s not dwell on the reasons for our absence and instead celebrate the fact that one our greatest living directors has reunited with some our greatest living actors to add tremendous weight to the argument for streaming services being a legitimate platform for fantastic films. The Irishman, ironically, marks the start of a new era for RR with what’s very much an end-of-an-era epic. Based on the non-fiction work I Heard You Paint Houses, it follows the life of mob hitman Frank Sheeran, widely thought to be the man responsible for Jimmy Hoffa’s demise (although you can’t prove nuthin’, ya hear me?). Did the latest, possibly final Scorsese/De Niro pairing earn the highest RR accolade, the incredibly prestigious McCartney? Only one way to find out. Also: Dan’s first ever quiz and more VoD recommendations than is really necessary.
