Tough Jews- Waterfront 4

Tough Jews- Waterfront 4 ‘For many gangsters fighting Nazis was more than just an act of defiance: it was an expression of patriotism. The mobster taking on the enemy was a way to again feel part of the mainstream, a player in the national project. A few years later when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor even members of the military acknowledged this. As Intelligence officers grew increasingly fearful of enemy agents, sensing the spy in the shadows, who could they turn to? Gangsters! In Feb 1942 the Normandy a French cruise liner converted to carry American troops caught fire while docked in the Hudson River. Experts suspected sabotage. German U boats had already sunk 120 American merchant ships off the coast. Members of Naval intelligence knew many dock workers were immigrants from Italy… would these men help Mussolini? They could do so by telling foreign agents when military cargo was scheduled or when troop ships like the Normandy were docked. Loose lips sink ships. A few weeks after the fire a naval intelligence officer contacted Socks Lanza, a thug who was said to control New York harbor. When the officer explained what he wanted the gangsters to do- seal leaks (And that is exactly why those who visited Watergate Apartments were doing for the President- Plumbers who were to ‘seal leaks’) keep a look out for suspicious doings on the docks –Lanza got in touch with Lansky. Meyer said the only person who could fill the bill was Charlie Luciano. Though Lucky has already spent four years in prison he still had authority on the docks. Moved to a better prison he was soon sending word to the waterfront. ‘I gave Cockeye the orders, go down to the piers and find out who is loyal and who is not loyal. You have to see that there are no strikes and the job is done quickly when military stuff is loaded. And we have to keep sure that everyone keeps their mouths shut about troop movements. That means going into bars to make sure the crews and longshoremen don’t start sounding off when they get drunk ‘ said Lucky. And showing up at Naval Intelligence on church Street Manhattan Lansky said ‘I can promise you one thing. There will be no German Submarines in the port of New York’ p192-193 Tough Jews –Rich Cohen. I have been saying for several years- The Holocaust was just a practice run the Real Deal is coming soon. The Holocaust tiny compared to where computers are now in being able to identify people and the capacity to organize the deaths of not just millions hundreds of millions people when history makes a change- Not helped or rather released by the inevitable collapse -America Empire. And honestly I cannot saw- why, when, how, how much, what sequence or even much about triggers… Fortunately because the kinds of people reading ‘this Crap- this shit’ may not have decided yet to serve our Eternal Jew. Pray with me here. Father God we are at an interesting and exciting part of this blog. We have been piecing together bits and pieces about New York for years now and we are now on the once bustling New York water front a mere seventy two years ago – yet some of us are dreaming of a greater movement of ships and people… Truly massive great cruise liners jam packed overflowing departing God knows where and God knows why…. If this historic picture speaks to something greater in the future. Let us as readers of this know that firmly in our hearts even if our heads cannot comprehend. Shalom Eternal Jew Amen.
