Enjoy!

Welcome to tokillpresidents.blogspot.com, I am your editor and correspondent big mike craft, formerly with the old Lansky Group (Meyer Lansky) and the N C S. I hope you enjoy my writing. It is all,unfortunately TRUE! My email for any interested parties is tokillpresidents@gmail.com Enjoy the year in the State of New York. There will be more News Blogs after a week has gone by. I am hoping that John Walsh, who I met, will make a deal to talk about my life. As of this date, All of 2000's, he has not! I will be hoping to discuss my career in the rackets, my beating the government in court, the government screwing me out of money, and the fact that I possess the only anti-terror contract with the Treasury in the nation. I also donated 50% of the 10 million dollar reward for exact terrorism information, to the F D N Y but the Treasury/IRS/FBI/Justice Dept. will not make any arrests and they are also showing disrespect to all 911 injured F D N Y persons! I was just doing my duty to help in the War on Terror. With my contacts, I did not miss much! The IRS/CID refused to work! Sincerely, Big Mike

Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, I said no, no, no!

Well I guess you want another happy ending. OK, I will give you one. Who is the Only Ex-President alive, who was the target of an old time Gangster. Yes, you got it! It was Jimmy Carter and I did not even take a dime from Meyer, plus I swore that if he contacted me one more time he would not have to fear Tony Brown, enough said. Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford were both gross incompetents but neither deserved to get assassinated. At least in my opinion. I actually would have a few beers with Billy Carter, a few years later in Harris Burgh, Pa. during the Spring Mobile/Modular Home Show, in the Farm Complex. He was a drunken, funny, little guy. I enjoyed the few drinks. He  was the Vice President of Scott Homes of North Carolina. He worked for Sam Scott and I bought a few Scott Homes! As far as Gerald Ford was concerned, the pardon of Richard Nixon did get a few people upset. I actually was shown hit placements for Palm Springs, and a few Golf Courses. I thought it a bad plan and also walked away. I was not getting caught up with any Plan on a sitting United States President. The Vietnam War was now a memory, and Ford could not have beaten anyone in an election. He had a bad vocal tone, his voice was as bad as his golf game. Carter was going to win, and at the time, like most Americans, I had a little hope for some honesty in Government. I was wrong. Jimmy ruined the World, just as Reagan did. He did not back up the Shah of Iran, thus look what we got now. He screwed around in Latin America because he was not worldly. Any way, I saved his life by not taking the hit and closing the books on Meyer. Have a nice Film Festival here in Woodstock. Sincerely big mike craft

The Why's and Where Fores of My Heads of State Hits.

I would like to close for this week by saying that this life story on me has been subverted by the FBI for 20 years. The Toronto Star did a front page piece on Jan, 3rd. and 4th., 2008 entitled "Mobster Confesses" I read the piece, done by Peter Crawford in the United States, not Canada, for the Toronto Star, and swore that I had not attended the 6 hour interview session in Amsterdam N.Y., at the old Holiday Inn! I was confessing to the hit on a head of state, Theirs! Yes, it was a long time ago, but I had to wait for the true statute of Limitations on Rico to expire thru Knowledge Enterprise, #18usc1955 #228. Paul Di Cocco died in 1989. He knew everything about us. That would have pushed it out to 2001, with the exclusion of Sundays and Holidays. My mother got sick in 2001 and I am the only child, so I took care of my mother 7 days a week until her death. She was the best. The American Media Group would have jumped all over the Syndicate member who had a contract on Fidel. They did not because one Laurie Cambell got warned by the Bureau. She is an editor. She used a sentence from a prearranged conversation I had with a Bureau informant. I knew she was fixed! The Gannet News Papers have been offered exclusive stories on me, but the nerd reporters in Albany N.Y. hate an old Alpha Male. I am the ONLY man alive, on this Earth, that can discuss hit contracts on World Leaders. The reason is, that members of the Commission always stopped them or I stopped them. The Bureau in the Northern Judicial District of New York, with their employers,The Justice Dept., have blown many cases because they refused to pay me. So I will use this News Blog, written by myself, bimike craft ( Rev. Mike Craft Sr.) a copy righted video news producer, and the principle of 12 News Paper Printed Federal Court Accounts/Trials, from the IRS/CID, the FBI, and The Justice Dept. to the Organized Crime Task Force. These were printed in the old Troy Record, when Lisa Lewis was the editor! She was a good and factual editor! I will not discuss any of these organizations for this weekend. We are preparing for Woodstock and trying to enter the Film Festival. I would like to entertain to any Major Production Company, any Major News Outlet, or any Major Acting Individual, that I am the bitter enemy of the Northern Judicial District Justice Dept., that have broken more laws than any 5 crime families that I have ever known. I am still under contract to the Treasury Dept. and have many contracts in default by them! I shall explain in new Blogs. I will tell you now that there were two more asks by Mr. Lansky before he died. On these I warned him via Paul Di Cocco Sr. because Tony Brown would have Killed Meyer and Meyer did give my father and me our starts. I paid him back by keeping him alive. Sincerely big mike craft

OMG, as the kids say. Oh My God, Meyer wanted me to hit Nixon!

Oh My God, or O M G as the kids say, Meyer Wanted Me to Kill Former President Of The United States, Richard M. Nixon. He wanted the hit done now, in 1975 and sent another $150,000.00 thru a confidential go between who was a member. I looked in the bag and said, "What did you do rob a numbers bank." The bills were in real crumpled shape (untraceable). I asked for the marks name and was told. I was already planning to turn Meyer over to the Commission if he tried to fool with my life. I had a powerful friend, who I did favors for. This same man was making sure that Meyer got his money every month from Vegas, South Central, and The Islands. Believe me, I did not understand Meyer's deal in England, even to this day, but Meyer got a few packages a year from England, I was told! Now mind you, Meyer was still in Israel, in 1974 and was trying to stay out of jail if given immunity! I was the far away member and trust me, I never met his wife or daughter and I never socialize with my own friends! Being Social took place in one of my night clubs or Bars that I controlled, only! It always escaped me because I did not care. As long as I was free to run my own game, I was happy. It was almost 1975, and the double hit fiasco in Canada was just behind me. I was now furious at Meyer but in 1975, I needed the $150,000.00 in the bag. I had decided to buy the old Frat House that I worked at as a child, but wanted it for free. All wise guys want free, and you all should always remember it! Your money is what we want, and we usually get it in business, one way or the other. Sometimes with friendship, or sometimes with muscle! In the country areas most connected guys try to operate alone and operate very friendly with the rest of their area. In my case, I only operated my liquor businesses in upstate New York. I did my theft operations at certain warehouses or on Teamster flagged loads passing through. I cut Paul and Nick in, so who cares. It was this Nixon Hit that I was very mad at. Meyer, in my estimation, was all consumed with Fidel Castro, and every one around the situation who was Political in nature. He probably blamed each President of the United States, and every Vice President for not trying to get Castro's regime out. Meyer did not understand the people of Cuba. The previous Batista regime was very harsh on the people of Cuba and kept them poor. Although history would prove Fidel Castro even more harsh, the Cuban peasant people loved Castro, period! So now Meyer Lansky wanted to kill Nixon for not going after Castro when he had the Vietnam War at full bloom in the year 1970. Nixon did not get Castro, so he had to go, according to Meyer. Yes, I kept the small money but I got on a plane to Chicago the next day. I called the drop phone and said my name and that I was at the airport. It was important for my friend, if he wanted to have me picked up. The FBI constantly watched Tony and many other of the Mid-West organization people. If you were in on the inside with any top guy, you were given a pay phone number where a man would sit and read all the national papers every day until 2:00 PM. I just flew and prayed Tony could see me. I sat down in the airport and waited. If somebody was coming, they would not waste time. I had not been invited and now I was worried! A middle aged man walked up to me and said, "Michael, would you come with me"! I just followed him and kept quiet. He drove me to a warehouse where I had never been. The car stopped and I got out. The little door on the big garage door opened. I walked in and was frisked. I never carried a gun to a meeting, it was impolite, and foolish! I walked the length of the warehouse, about the length of a football field. there was another small but brand new single wide mobile home set up with electric and plastic water and sewage pipes attached to it. It looked to be about 60 feet long. A man at the bottom of the steps said hello, and frisked me again. I was escorted in to Mr. Tony. Mr. Brown looked very serious at me and said "What, are you in trouble, you never call on that emergency number." I said that I was in big trouble and needed his support and protection." Tony said " Tell me the story!" I began that Meyer had called out another hit without commission approval. I knew Meyer had no approval because you had warned him, and you were actually the entire commission talking." Tony asked on who. I now, very softly said "Richard Nixon." Tony went tight with anger and then immediately softened up. He said, "Michael you did the right thing coming here and that old man is going to lighten up or I will remove my protection on him and the money will stop." "You know Michael, you have good sense, you are polite, and you are respectful, whether it be out of fear or because that is the way you were raised, I do respect your coming here today." "We have killed enough Presidents in this century" "Every connected guy in power, in America, wanted John Kennedy gone, but this is not the situation now." "Nixon actually was good for us in his last term, in that he was so corrupt, he kept us off the front pages for 3 years." "I want you to still understand that Meyer Lansky made Casino Gambling in this nation, and every where else too." " He has just gotten old and has nothing but a few million to leave his family." "You do know that he and I owned J.Edgar Hoover for all those years, don't you." I said that my father had said a few things and so did Doc Farone and Paul Di Cocco. Tony smiled and said, "That is why Meyer and I never saw a jail cell, except for that 90 day vacation he took in Saratoga, New York, compliments of your Fathers firm and That old Irishman, Dan O'Connell. We had Hoover from the exact time that they got Al for taxes and we knew his weakness." I asked Tony nothing at this point, because in my situation, I was still an underling, and Tony was still Meyer's old friend. I said "What do you want me to do." Tony said, "Go home, have dinner with your parents, go out with your girl friend, and this will be over by tomorrow night." "I am sending my best guy" "You keep the money and never mention it to Meyer, if you ever see him again" "You don't see Meyer except for once in a while." I said, "I don't like to go to Florida much and I  only go when Paul does not." "Paul and Meyer are tight and I am the new guy, that's all." " I expect Paul to hear nothing of this, and I will be eternally grateful for your help, Tony." Tony said, "Michael, could you have hit Nixon successfully." I said "Yes, he is actually easier than Trudeau up in Canada." "he is a disgraced ex-President, and his protection detail could care less, and they are not the best" "You just pop him from many casual locations. No one is asking this man to go to work at their law firm, speak at their college, or represent them on a bank board, for many years to come." "The only trouble is the secret service. They will fight back and that is always a problem." "I don't feel like playing tag with the secret service for the rest of my life, I think Nixon took the big disgrace as President, in having to resign or be indicted." " I don't want to get caught killing a has been." I was motioned off and I knew that I must leave. I stepped back and bowed. Tony just looked away and I was driven back to the airport. I was happy. I did not feel that Meyer had showed any respect in paying me another substandard  fee. The Nixon hit was worth at least 3 million at the time. Life must have a price. Nixon's was 3 million to me, in 1974! The Nixon Hit was called off. I guess I saved Nixon's Life! Sincerely "big mike craft", PS- I know I saved Richard M. Nixon's life!

We are out of Canada, and we are free, we think!

The hit contracts on Pierre Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, and the contract to kill Fidel Castro, in Canada, at Trudeau's Funeral, were still fresh in my mind. Incidentally, Meyer was right, on this Trudeau/Castro hit, Fidel Castro came to Canada and was a pall bearer for Pierre Trudeau, when Trudeau died of natural causes in early 2000! I would like to have hit Trudeau and Castro, but I am here writing this News Blog because the commission had the good sense to pull me out. Yes, I would have gotten Trudeau, no problem. I do not, in all honesty, believe anyone could have gotten Fidel Castro at the State Funeral. There would have been about 100 nations represented, including the USA, and The Soviet Union. Canada was The Soviet Unions largest trading partner, in spite of being on the border of the United States! Fidel would have had snipers at every location, as would the KGB, and the Secret Service and the RCMP. The Canadian S A S are not that shabby, and it was their ground. The RCMP would have been so furious at loosing Trudeau that they would have been everywhere. Meyer had sent me on a suicide mission and I was a little mad at that fact. I expressed this satisfaction to nobody. Although I loved Paul Di Cocco Sr., as an older brother, I never told him everything. I'm sure he never told me everything either, but he would prove his loyalty to me later in life in 1982. I always knew Paul was a standup guy, but what he did for a young man, who would eventually have rank, was very touching. I always think of Paul with affection. I liked his brother Dulio (Jake) a lot, but we were not close. We had lunch sometimes, but I was a member and Jake was an associate. He always wondered why and I don't blame him. He supported Paul financially, right to Paul's death. Jake actually controlled all the money but was not a Syndicate member or even a Bonono Associate! He was a wealthy book maker and Paul's best friend! I will tell some nice stories about these two brothers at another time. They also had wonderful wives, the kind of wives who stood loyal to the end. I respected them also. With the hits in Canada now over due to a call back! I went back to work hi-jacking around the state once a month. I also sold my heroin for good money wholesale, as I did every fall. I had 4 free kilo's this year, so I only worked 2 days a month on Theft. In the trades I was called a "BUST OUT." I never went long term on anything. I am sorry to this day that I did not keep 43 Fuller Road in the Town of Colonie, N.Y. It was the best nite club set up in the area. Paul had a 15% interest in the Club but never set foot in it! He hated late night's! I took a lousy Million plus net out of it in cash, and keyed the door. It was not even in foreclosure yet. I paid my help in cash, used hot liquor from Carlo Spano's Liquor store in Guilderland, N.Y., did not pay any sales tax, (we paid very little, but sent it in on time) paid no federal anything, paid all my advertising outlets, but never paid Manufacturers Hanover Bank a dime for 3.5 years. I probably could have rolled it over, but I carry some bad baggage with me and sometimes make too quickly a decision. I locked up the club on Thanksgiving Eve 1979. I should have kept going to New Year. The Liquor Authority was going to give me a fine and a suspension on the First, but I should have re-opened in the spring. I managed to walk away with a few million but would regret not working because I was a degenerate, (heavy) gambler and spent too much when on a loosing streak. Meyer would die soon in the early eighty's, but I was already on my own, using the Lansky Group Name, always, because I was now a reputed enforcer (reputed) for lack of any other slogan. I am getting ahead of myself and should stick to the horrible new revelation that Meyer wanted. I would not be happy nor would Mr. Brown in Chicago! Sincerely big mike craft
