There is only one book you need to understand how the world works in reality and that book is The Godfather.
Everything else is romantic novel. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18200083
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

The Vatican's finances have been crooked for years. It is also an organisation that hides and protects thieves and paedophiles, and that uses bullying and intimidation to further its aims. It openly defies the authority of the state in countries where it is sufficiently organised. The comparison with the Mafia is apt.

I thought this thread would be about Vinny Marini.

(VATICAN CITY) — The Vatican confirmed Saturday that the pope's butler had been arrested in its embarrassing leaks scandal, adding a Hollywood twist to a sordid tale of power struggles, intrigue and corruption in the highest levels of Catholic Church governance.
Paolo Gabriele, a layman who lives inside Vatican City, was arrested Wednesday with secret documents in his possession and was being held Saturday, the Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said in a statement. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0......,00.html

I hate to encourage you, tommy, but are you familiar with the P2 conspiracy that was closely related to the Vatican?

The Godfather: Part III
Most of the rogue characters are based on the key players of the 30-Day Pope conspiracy. Kenzig the banker was based on Roberto Calvi, managing director of the Bank of Milan who was found hanged in London in June 19, 1982. He was accused by Italian authorities of being involved in the disappearance of Vatican funds amounting to $1.25 billion. Lucchesi was based on Giulio Andreotti, an Italian politician and former Prime Minister. Gilday was based on Paul Marcinkus, a one-time director of the Vatican Bank who to this day has remained silent about the conspiracy. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099674/trivia :)

It's important to remember, in the context of conspiracy theory, that P2 was comprised of Freemasons.

Tommy-
I re-checked and found it was written by Harold Robbins. Chalk it up to age and booze... Here is the tag from Amazon- they have it from about 2 dollars up... Publication Date: October 1, 1993 Harold Robbins, the world's most popular and captivating storyteller, has created what may well be the most significant book ever written about the rise of the labor unions. The 1979 novel, freshly re-released, is the saga of Daniel Boone "Big Dan" Huggins, who rises from poverty and the mines of West Virginia to become the most respected and feared labor organizer in the nation. Daniel's life and death are tied to the challenges and fortunes of American labor. Once he is gone, his youngest son Jonathan must take up the reins of his father's cause, returning to Daniel's roots to better understand the path that led him to his destiny. Robbins has a gift for combining popular fiction with the most pertinent subjects of the twentieth century, to create a snapshot of the time. Relevant, respectful, and very readable, Memories of Another Day proves once again why Harold Robbins' books have sold more copies than any other American writer in history. Jim

What the hell I thought this thread was about my good friend "The Godfather" Vinny Marini. What a disappointment.
