The Origins of the American Mafia and the Pinocchio Slave Boys of ‘Pleasure Island’ (by Cynthia Chung)

I just watched Cynthia’s recent deep dive into the origins of the Mafia and was so blown away by her incredible array of discoveries that I felt compelled to share it. If you’ve tried to wrap your head around the Mafia but haven’t delved into the guiding hand of the Knights of Malta, Templars, Tammany Hall operations in the US, the KKK, and Guiseppe Mazzini’s Young Europe, then I’m sorry to say that you won’t understand what the Mafia actually is.

And that’s why this is a must-read.
