In late August 1979, the FBI's Brooklyn-Queens Metropolitan Resident Agency (the BQ) received a significant tip from a top-echelon informant within the Genovese crime family. This informant, known as "Bob," reported that Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino crime family, had mentioned an upcoming major meeting at Gurney's Inn in Montauk, New York. The anticipated attendees included prominent figures such as Frank "Funzi" Tieri of the Genovese family, Carmine "The Snake" Persico of the Colombo family, and Tampa's organized crime leader, Santo Trafficante Jr. Recognizing the potential significance of this gathering—the most consequential since the 1957 Apalachin summit—the FBI swiftly mobilized. Agents, including undercover operatives, were dispatched to Gurney's Inn, posing as tourists to monitor arrivals and activities. Specialized personnel were prepared to install surveillance equipment to capture conversations during the meeting. Despite the extensive preparations, the anticipated meeting never occurred. The reasons remain uncertain; possibilities include the informant providing inaccurate information, the mobsters altering their plans, or suspicions about increased surveillance leading to a change in venue. This outcome was reminiscent of the 1957 Apalachin meeting, where law enforcement's unexpected presence led to the mobsters' dispersal. While the immediate operation at Gurney's Inn did not yield the expected results, it underscored the FBI's evolving strategies in combating organized crime. The bureau's readiness to deploy advanced surveillance techniques and coordinate large-scale operations marked a shift towards more proactive and sophisticated approaches. This evolution contributed to significant successes in subsequent years, including the Mafia Commission Trial of 1986 and the conviction of John Gotti in 1992. This episode about the FBI's almost-successful attempt to bug a major mob meeting at Gurney's Inn illustrates the challenges law enforcement faced in infiltrating organized crime and highlights the pivotal role such operations played in modernizing the FBI's methodologies. Joining us in this episode, we have: Daniel Edward Rosen, a staff reporter from the New York Sun, whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Observer, City Journal, New York Magazine, and the New York Times. See his original article: https://www.nysun.com/article/how-the-fbis-mad-dash-to-wiretap-the-mob-at-a-montauk-hotel-nearly-50-years-ago-helped-modernize-todays-agencyFrank DiMatteo joins us to provide color commentary based upon his experiences growing up embedded in one of the most infamous mob crews in the history of the American Cosa Nostra. Frank is the son of Ricky DiMatteo, a member of the legendary Gallo Crew of the Colombo Crime Family in New York City.

VIDEO: Vance alla Conferenza di Monaco ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd1IN99OZR0TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=8084L'ATTACCO DI VANCE METTE A NUDO UN'EUROPA CHE TRADISCE SE STESSA di Eugenio Capozzi Le ultime settimane sono state un autentico incubo per le classi dirigenti dell'Unione Europea. A partire dal discorso di insediamento di Donald Trump dall'America sono arrivate bordate devastanti, una dietro l'altra, che hanno fatto a pezzi tutte le convenzioni e le argomentazioni retoriche sulle quali il loro potere tentava di legittimarsi agli occhi dei cittadini delle loro nazioni e del mondo.Prima il ripudio radicale del globalismo ideologizzato, con la nuova uscita degli Stati Uniti dal Trattato di Parigi sul clima e quella annunciata dall'Oms. Poi la minaccia concreta dei dazi "reciproci", che smaschera il protezionismo sedimentato praticato dal vecchio continente verso il nuovo, e obbligherà i leader dei paesi Ue a scomodi negoziati bilaterali. Poi le proposte spiazzanti di risoluzione del conflitto a Gaza, che mettono a nudo la totale impraticabilità della formula retorica dei "due popoli due Stati" con cui le classi politiche europee a lungo hanno comodamente tenuto il piede in molte scarpe sui temi del Medio Oriente, e certificano l'irrilevanza di queste ultime nei giochi di potenza in evoluzione in quell'area. Infine, l'annuncio choc dell'avvio di un negoziato di pace diretto tra Stati Uniti e Russia sul conflitto russo-ucraino, che lascia da parte senza complimenti l'Ue e il governo ucraino di Zelensky da essa sostenuto "senza se e senza ma" dall'inizio del conflitto.Ma i colpi più ferali ai "mandarini" continentali sono arrivati negli ultimi giorni da un componente della nuova amministrazione statunitense la cui rilevanza essi avevano forse sottovalutato: il vicepresidente J.D. Vance (nella foto LaPresse). Quest'ultimo è "calato" in Europa per pronunciare due discorsi pubblici, evidentemente pensati e preparati con cura, in cui ha rivolto alle classi politiche europee critiche severissime su temi che toccano nervi particolarmente sensibili e dolorosi per le élites del vecchio continente, e anche dell'intero Occidente, negli ultimi decenni, e ha aperto di fatto un vero e proprio dibattito "sui massimi sistemi" dei fondamenti della civiltà euro-occidentale.Prima, nell'"Action Summit" sull'intelligenza artificiale convocato a Parigi da Emmanuel Macron nella speranza di controbilanciare l'accelerazione impressa da Washington sul tema, Vance ha avvisato con molta chiarezza che gli Stati Uniti non accetteranno che lo sviluppo della ricerca sull'AI venga soffocato dalle iper-regolamentazioni e dalle tendenze alla censura e al controllo, le quali invece sembrano rappresentare ancora le principali preoccupazioni dei vertici dell'Ue in materia.Poi, dopo qualche giorno (14 febbraio), nella Conferenza internazionale di Monaco sulla sicurezza dedicata all'Ucraina il vicepresidente americano ha preso di petto, spiazzandoli, i leader dei Paesi Ue con un intervento che è stato un pesantissimo atto d'accusa nei loro confronti sul tema, appunto, dei princìpi ispiratori dell'Occidente.Vance ha sostenuto, come ormai è noto, che la peggiore minaccia alla sicurezza dell'Europa non viene da nemici esterni, come la Russia o la Cina, ma dall'interno, ed è una minaccia di natura culturale, etica, spirituale. In sintesi, il braccio destro di Trump ha denunciato il fatto che il modello politico costruito dall'Unione europea e da gran parte dei governi del continente appare oggi, visto dall'esterno, inclinare decisamente verso l'autoritarismo, e configurare un vero e proprio tradimento dei valori di libertà e democrazia che, pure, a parole quei governi sostengono con tanta enfasi. E ha fatto, a tale riguardo, esempi molto precisi, che sono certamente suonati per molti degli ascoltatori presenti come un vero e proprio schiaffo in pieno viso: l'irregimentazione soffocante dei social media; la censura e la repressione sempre più ferree della libertà di opinione e di espressione (con un particolare affondo sulla libertà religiosa e il diritto a pregare vicino alle cliniche per aborti); l'esplicita tendenza a manipolare i risultati elettorali quando non sono conformi a determinati dettami ideologici (in particolare, il caso incredibile della Romania); il tentativo di ghettizzare ed escludere dal dibattito pubblico forze politiche dal consenso anche rilevante, additandole unilateralmente come "impresentabili"; la promozione dell'immigrazione di massa incontrollata che mina la vita, la sicurezza, le libertà dei propri cittadini. Per di più, lo ha fatto da un punto di vista politico-culturale che per le élite euro-globaliste ha lo stesso effetto dell'aglio per i vampiri: quello di un conservatore assolutamente pro-vita e antiabortista.Le reazioni piccate (come innanzitutto quelle dei vertici tedeschi e francesi), sdegnate, o sprezzantemente sarcastiche di alcuni "mandarini" al discorso di Vance, o addirittura il silenzio in cui alcuni altri hanno tentato di farlo cadere, sono la più chiara dimostrazione di come quell'attacco abbia colpito al cuore le residue sicurezze e i radicati pregiudizi di gran parte delle élites europee.Non sono stati soltanto i contenuti delle accuse a fare male. È stato, forse, ancor più il tono autorevole, sicuro, senza la minima concessione al "politicamente corretto", con cui Vance le ha pronunciate, anzi scandite. Il tono di un emissario che mette pesantemente sul piatto il giudizio, severissimo, di chi tiene in questo momento le redini dell'Occidente e non ha intenzione di fare sconti a nessuno, nemmeno agli amici. «È arrivato un nuovo sceriffo in città», come ha chiosato sorridendo lo stesso vicepresidente. E il nuovo sceriffo - questa è stata forse la frustata più dolorosa - non ha come bussola ispiratrice soltanto il principio dell'"America first", dell'interesse nazionale, ma ha anche un'idea molto precisa della direzione in cui le democrazie alleate dovrebbero muoversi, e non ha nessun ritegno nel comunicarlo.Quella direzione - lascia intendere Vance - sarà d'ora in poi criterio dirimente nei rapporti tra gli Stati Uniti e ciascuna di esse: abbandonare ogni velleità da Stato, o Superstato, etico che pretenda di "educare" i propri cittadini; abbandonare l'ideologia soffocante dell'ambientalismo antiumano e antieconomico; fare marcia indietro sull'indottrinamento woke; tornare a consentire un dibattito politico aperto, a 360 gradi, in cui vengano pienamente ammesse anche le forze populiste e sovraniste, in modo da muovere il continente verso politiche più realiste, orientate alla crescita e alla tenuta di un solido tessuto comunitario.Insomma, Vance ha lasciato inequivocabilmente intendere come l'amministrazione Trump 2 sia tutt'altro che isolazionista o disinteressata ai rapporti con l'Europa, come molti pensavano. Al contrario, essa è estremamente preoccupata per la deriva autolesionista di un continente chiuso in una "bolla" ideologica, votato alla decrescita e alla decadenza, sempre più fragile ed esposto a influenze di poteri estranei alle sue radici. E lancia alle sue classi dirigenti un avvertimento deciso: o state con noi, con la linea di conservatorismo realista, de-regolatore e identitario di Trump, o prima o poi non ci sarà più tra noi una vera alleanza, con tutte le conseguenze negative che per voi potranno derivarne.Nota di BastaBugie: Luca Volontè nell'articolo seguente dal titolo "Romania, Trump toglie la copertura al golpe UE" racconta che la Commissione Europea ha annullato le elezioni presidenziali in Romania perché i vincitori non gli erano graditi. In questo modo la democrazia diventa la parodia di sé stessa.Ecco l'articolo completo pubblicato su La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana il 17 febbraio 2025:L'intervento promosso dalla Commissione Europea che ha portato all'annullamento delle elezioni presidenziali in Romania è stato uno degli esempi eclatanti che il vicepresidente americano JD Vance ha portato nel suo storico discorso del 14 febbraio scorso alla Conferenza Internazionale sulla sicurezza svoltasi a Monaco.Quello di Vance non è stato l'unico intervento della nuova amministrazione USA sul caso Romania. Sempre la scorsa settimana il presidente Donald Trump ha inviato a Bucarest l'incaricato speciale della Casa Banca Richard Grenell (nella foto LaPresse, con il presidente Trump). Da lui è arrivata la denuncia di come l'amministrazione Biden abbia cercato di boicottare i conservatori ed i loro candidati con la complicità dell'Unione Europea, questione che riguardava anche il caso romeno contro il vincitore del primo turno elettorale dello scorso inverno Călin Georgescu.Secondo il New York Sun della scorsa settimana, l'accusa è stata formulata nel corso di una revisione delle azioni diplomatiche estere della Casa Bianca sotto il governo di Joe Biden. Sarebbero emersi dati, seppur aggiornati alla sola primavera 2024, che proverebbero l'influenza USA sul sistema giudiziario della Romania, non per irrobustirne l'indipendenza, piuttosto per farne strumento di azioni contro i partiti conservatori e, molto probabilmente anche contro il candidato indipendente Călin Georgescu, vincitore del primo turno il 24 novembre scorso.Abbiamo denunciato a suo tempo, su queste pagine e per primi, lo scandalo di un vero e proprio colpo di Stato attuato a Bucarest, sotto l'egida della UE e rivendicato dall'ex commissario europeo Thierry Breton con la complicità della Amministrazione Biden. Ad oggi, i sospetti che portarono all'annullamento del voto espresso da milioni di cittadini e le preoccupazioni euro

(Aniversario de la Publicación de «Nuestra América» de José Martí)   En su obra titulada El Martí que yo conocí, Blanche Zacharie de Baralt nos explica algo que muchos desconocen: que «aunque la independencia de Cuba era su [objetivo] primordial, tuvo Martí que ganarse la vida [y] mantener a la esposa y al hijo que se habían reunido con él en Nueva York. [Así que] intensificó su trabajo de periodista, [escribiendo] en el New York Sun [y] en varias revistas de México, Venezuela y otros países hispanoamericanos. »Escribía sin cesar.... Su labor periodística era asombrosa. Lo publicado en periódicos sudamericanos llena diez gruesos volúmenes. Muchos de estos trabajos eran obras de alto valor crítico y literario. Muchos se consideran hoy clásicos.... Publicó varios libros de versos, editó el órgano oficial de la Revolución, Patria, escribiendo personalmente la mayor parte de su contenido.... »[Además,] Martí... tradujo al español, del inglés y del francés, varios libros, contratados al efecto por la gran casa publicadora Appleton y Cía. Estaba el departamento de ediciones en español a cargo de un señor Purón, asturiano, hombre autoritario, muy imbuido de su propia importancia y, según parece, convencido de su gran saber, aunque no todos compartían esa opinión. »Como jefe, revisaba el trabajo de Martí para ponerle el visto bueno antes de mandarlo a la imprenta. No dejaba nunca de hacerle algunos cambios al manuscrito, lo que mortificaba a Martí en extremo, pues las llamadas “correcciones” solían desfigurar el original o echarlo a perder. »Martí necesitaba la [remuneración] que le daba la casa Appleton y no quería habérselas con el jefe que presumía enmendarle la plana, porque sabía que la menor protesta le costaría el puesto. [De modo que] sufrió en silencio, mordiéndose los labios, hasta que se le ocurrió un ardid. »Como lo que deseaba el pretencioso señor, elegantemente vestido siempre y pavoneándose con un aire de superioridad,... era “corregir”, Martí decidió darle algo cuya corrección dejaría intacto el texto: puso en cada página alguna falta garrafal de ortografía o de puntuación. »Al momento, el supervisor, viendo la falta, le ponía remedio, sin tocar el estilo, que era [precisamente] lo que quería [Martí como] autor», concluye Zacharie de Baralt.1 »Hay una lección importante que nosotros, míseros mortales, podemos sacar de esa escabrosa relación entre Martí y aquel editor, el tal Señor Purón, quien pasó a la historia como un hombre orgulloso, soberbio, arrogante, pretencioso, su honra manchada para siempre. La lección proviene de la pluma del sabio Salomón, casualmente uno de los escritores más prolíficos de antaño, escrita en forma de proverbio que nos conviene a todos acatar, tal como lo hizo Martí. Dice así: «Con el orgullo viene la deshonra; con la humildad, la sabiduría.»2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Blanche Zacharie de Baralt, El Martí que yo conocí, Centro de Estudios Martianos, 1980, pp. 16,27,67 En línea 3 septiembre 2024. 2 Pr 11:2 (NVI)

169: Old Sport Campana (1836-1906) – Part Two

Ultrarunning History

By Davy Crockett In part one, “Old Sport” Peter Napoleon Campana (1836-1906), of Bridgeport, Connecticut, a poor street vendor, and talented runner, wanted to become a professional pedestrian/ultrarunner. At age 42, he was viewed as very elderly, a strange anomaly on the track. It was said that it looked like he had been run through a threshing machine. “He looks like a physical wreck and every stranger expects to see him collapse momentarily. His shriveled, shrunken, crooked figure is one of the marvels of pedestrianism.” In early 1879, he had a poor reputation, and his integrity was questioned. But during the coming 15 months, as he ran more miles in races than anyone in the world, he would win over the hearts of the public. He would be called “perhaps one of the best-known athletes in the country.” He became a crowd favorite to watch in 1879 when the six-day race was the most popular spectator sporting event to watch in America. Learn about the rich and long history of ultrarunning. There are now twelve books available in the Ultrarunning History series on Amazon, compiling podcast content and much more. Learn More. Despite the six-day race loss to Daniel O'Leary, in December 1878, Campana, now wealthy and newly married, sought to further profit from his newfound notoriety. He was now mentioned in newspapers every week across the country. Some of the press was negative, as word spread that his Bridgeport six-day world record run of 521 miles in November 1878 was a fraud. He stated that the accusations came from disgruntled men who wanted more money from him. The New York Sun looked deeply into the matter and concluded that “the fraud was inspired by a wish to make a big record, arouse public interest, and thereby bring in gate money.” The scheme had succeeded. What was the reaction to the bombshell news in Campana's hometown? “Bridgeport had freely given Campana their confidence and their backing. Now there is surprise that the community could have been sold so cheaply and completely. As a pedestrian, Campana is looked upon as a dead duck.”  Still, there were those who believed his effort was legitimate. A reporter from another newspaper, who witnessed the last day of that event and interviewed witnesses stated, “I gained a firm impression that the walk had been honestly conducted, and that Campana had really passed over the number of miles with which he was credited. No one whom I met in Bridgeport appeared to have any doubt about the matter.” He believed there was a conspiracy against Campana. (Author's note: Given that Campana never exceeded 521 miles in all his future 40+ six-day races that he competed in, I believe that the effort involved fraud and should be discounted. It is likely that Campana was naïve and wasn't involved in the fraud that was conducted by his backers.) Campana had a trial in late January for physically abusing his new young wife, Jennie A. (Dalton) Campana (1853-). She returned to her father's home and took her new wardrobe and $100. “In court he showed a big roll of bills and said that he was in the hands of men who had hired him for a year, and he couldn't walk anywhere without their permission.” He had argued with his wife when two other women came into their new house in Waterbury, Connecticut, who he didn't want there. He suspected that she had him arrested so she could strip the house of costly things while he was in jail. Despite this terrible incident, the two were reconciled and Jennie moved back to their home. On the Road Campana was not a “pedestrian dead duck.” His career was just beginning, with the help of his dominating backers. At that time, professional pedestrians were not kicked out of the sport for perceived fraud or misbehavior. First, he tried to issue challenges against other runners for large amounts of money. Those went without responses. Next, he went on the road to give running exhibitions. Boston Music Hall

Buck Sexton sits down with Dovid Efune, publisher of the New York Sun, to dissect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's recent speech to the U.S. Congress. Netanyahu's address highlights the crucial U.S.-Israel relationship and Israel's role as a frontline defender against Iranian expansionism. Dovid and Buck provide insights into Netanyahu's strong stance on the importance of American support and his criticisms of U.S. delays in arms supplies. The discussion also covers the impact of Kamala Harris's potential presidential bid on U.S.-Israel relations and the significance of her absence from the speech.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the first half, space author and journalist Rod Pyle discussed the latest developments in the new space economy and humanity's movement into space, including the recent Space X test flight, Boeing Starliner test flight, the Chinese robot on the "far side" of the Moon, and NASA Mars samples. China, he announced, may conduct a crewed mission to the Moon in 2029, in tandem with the anniversary of the People's Republic of China, though America may also have a mission there in that time frame. SpaceX and Boeing were given money starting about 2010 to create privately built rockets and operate missions to the space station (ISS). While SpaceX has had much success in that regard, Boeing has run behind, and their recent Starliner capsule, which is currently docked at the space station, has encountered mechanical issues that have delayed the return of two NASA astronauts.Zero gravity's effect on the human body, particularly for men, is a concern in long-duration space missions, Pyle pointed out. Problems include vision failure, cardiovascular issues, and bone density loss. Regarding Mars exploration, it will take several decades for humanity to establish a significant presence on Mars, and just to get there is a six to seven month trip. Most observers, he added, think it may not be till the mid to late 2030s at the earliest when humans first arrive on the Red Planet. Pyle also reported on a Florida family suing NASA as debris from the space station hit their house, narrowly missing their sleeping child.------------In the latter half, author Marc Hartzman took us on a journey through some of his favorite weird history stories. From Flat Earth theories and Victorian spiritualists to the ghost stories that have shaped our modern conception of the spirit world, each story was a fascinating tale. In 1921, an Illinois school principal named Wilbur Glenn Voliva preached his Flat Earth theory to a thousand grade school and high school students, along with the idea that the sun was actually much smaller and located only a few miles away from our planet. Hartzman then recounted the tale of Hugh Mansfield Robinson, a British doctor who claimed to be in telepathic communication with a Martian woman named Oomaruru, and how he tried to send her a telegram from a London radio tower in 1926.He recalled the 1960 presidential campaign of UFO contactee Gabriel Green, who ran against Nixon and Kennedy on the "Space-Age" ticket. Hartzman delved into the "Great Moon Hoax" of 1835 when the New York Sun newspaper ran a series of articles about living creatures on the Moon that had been supposedly seen through an astronomer's telescope. The articles featured illustrations of "man-bats" and other exotic flora and fauna. He also spoke about the discovery of a never-before-seen scrapbook of the Rubber Skin Lady, a 1930s-era sideshow star.During the last half-hour, George featured a replay from 2011 with author Brad Steiger discussing alien mysteries. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

When Lenore Skenazy's son was nine, he asked her repeatedly if she would let him have a solo adventure in their hometown of New York City. Her son had a specific plan for this adventure: he wanted her to take him somewhere new in the city and then let him find his own way home. Lenore took the leap of faith, and when her son burst into their apartment later, he was practically “levitating with pride and joy” at what he had accomplished.Lenore then wrote an article in the New York Sun called “Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone” — and a media firestorm ensued. We'll let Lenore share more about that particular time, but she realized then how radical and important an idea it was for modern parents to “let go.” In 2017, Jonathan Haidt, co-author of The Coddling of the American Mind reached out to Lenore with two others, all of whom shared concerns about the increasing fragility they're seeing in young people in America, and the poor outcomes that follow. They went on to launch Let Grow, a non-profit organization that promotes childhood independence.Lenore's message is that parents can sometimes become compulsive about protecting children from every possible danger, but blind to the trade-offs: decreased independence, resilience, social skills, and creativity, and increased anxiety and depression.But this message also has broader implications for our lives and our faith: while we often tend to try to micromanage everything with the mistaken belief that we can prevent anything bad from happening, deep faith can help us see that there's Something Bigger going on — and we don't always need to be in control.We found Lenore to be delightful—she's sharp, funny, and has profoundly important things to say for anyone interested in helping our next generations to be resilient and happy. We really hope you enjoy this conversation with Lenore Skenazy.———Subscribe to Wayfare here: wayfaremagazine.org

Sightings of winged creatures flying through the sky have long been a staple of folklore, mythology and legend across the world and across time and cultures. In the ancient world, Gods and monsters were depicted with enormous, scaled and feathered wings, whilst in modern times, sightings have become more and more diverse, from thunderbirds, to the mysterious Mothman. Three years before the one of the most famous sightings of a mysterious flying creature in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, there was a sighting almost 4,000 miles away, across the Atlantic in a quiet market town in the south-east of England that bore a remarkable resemblance and whilst it caused far less of a stir, it certainly drew just as much confusion.
