The Deadliest Warrior!

his week I will be on The Deadliest Warrior on Spike TV!  I will be on the show with Michael Corleone Blanco the youngest son of Griselda Blanco aka Mama Coca.  Anyone who wants to know about the 1980's Cocaine boom should check out Cocaine Cowboys.  Those were tough people and crazy times.  Those times are over.  The people have all been killed, grown old or are still locked away.  I recently went to lunch with a friend of mine from Columbia.  In the 1980's he was moving 500 kilo's at a shot.  He was locked up since 1989 for dropping off 500 kilos in Irvine in 1989.  He was just released and now he drives a truck.  He found god while away and today much like Griselda Blanco he works to help others.

I get asked all the time if I feel bad for wearing a wire on those I was around.  I never feel bad about it at all.  I did like John Goggles Baudanza.  He was not like the rest of the losers.  The guy was an acting Capo in the Lucchese Family and he was a participant in the Colombo war.  My job was to gather evidence of on an going criminal enterprise.  Once I decided to do that for the FBI it was a job.  I never let my feeling blur the line between my job and the people I met.  I never considered these people friends anyway.  They were criminals I met along the way.
I paid for my crimes and I continue to pay for them.  I work on doing the right thing everyday.

When a guy decides to flip or become a CI it is no easy change.  It is a lifestyle that has become all you know.  It is hard.  After I left the street I was alone for a year.  I used that time to reflect on my former life.  I admit at first I felt like I was missing something. It was like being a drug addict!  I kicked the Mafia habit.  After my year I went to Spain to just get life in to prospective!  

I have a friend now who will be in the program soon.  I know what he faces and I hope he stays strong!

Flipped: A Mobster tells All Kenny Kenji Gallo May 13th

The world changes everyday. Life goes on. The world stays the same for my former friends who are locked up. I wonder how Johnny Goggles Baudanza likes solitary? I bet Eddie Garofalo has slimmed down in MCC Brooklyn. Eddie likes the easy life. The question is how tall will he stand? Will he be like the Rock Sonny Franzese? Sonny's new words I have to die someplace!
Sonny has had no life. Two sons flipped, two daughters are dead and all his siblings are gone. He lost his home and all his clothes. He has a wife who hates him and yells at him. He has been locked down half his life. How is that a good life. The Feds keep charging the Colombo Family. It is not over yet. I bet Frankie Blue Eye's has a lot to say. I think Michael Persico has a lot to worry about. Eddie Garofalo brought me into the Persico's life, He brought in Steve Marcus and there maybe another informant there. What kind of life is that?

This week on May 13th on Discovery Channel they will show my documentary Flipped: A Mobster Tells All, Kenny Kenji Gallo
Then on June 8th The Deadliest Warrior is on Spike TV.

I am amazed at the people who are still drawn to the life. People never see that it is all smoke and mirrors. You have a bunch of guys who cannot make a living and a select few who live it up. The guys on the bottom do the work and end up getting most of the time.
The big question is will Tommy Tits Geoli flip? If he does what can he give the Feds?

Have a great week! Kenji OC
