I am a hundred percent certain that Ralph DeLeo is the Mafia guy I arranged a meeting with in a black Roxbury bar with my roommate. As soon as we sat down in a booth, he took out a snub nose 38, and pointed it at Michelle.
“Are you going to do it?” he asked
“No!” Michelle said – as rehearsed!
“Look him in the eye. Count to three, then say, no!”
Her childhood friend was Ralph’s lover, and wanted out. She stole DeLeo’s belt that had a hidden compartment containing numbers on boxcars containing shipments of cocaine. I have watched allot of Mob documentaries, and none talked about cocaine. I suspect the DeLeo Crew had a connection, and was kept separate from the other families in order to prevent a Mob War. This friend was scared for her life.
This morning I took pics of the tiny house that is disintegrating. I saw that this was Hippie House. When I die, it will collapse. My cool cat, Classy, is eating Cat Crass.
Ralph kept a low profile and would not want the murder of Puppy to get out. I think there was money laundering going on. There was a deal to buy four Beacon Hill properties. I mixed it?

“He was actually a hard worker. He was a maintenance man for a local company. He put in a full days’ work, then he got home, got on his computer, and read about the Columbo family and was very much involved in the daily activities of the Columbo family,” says Richards.
BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.co) — FOX 25’s Bob Ward opened his crime files on Wednesday night to bring us inside the eye opening story of a top New York mob boss who reportedly ran New York mob business out of Boston.
In late 2009, some of the biggest names in the New England mafia gathered at an East Boston restaurant after a wake to talk business. According to a federal indictment, as the men broke bread they discussed a number of family matters, including how exactly to split money extorted out of Rhode Island strip bars.
There was one mafia leader who was only a few miles away from the meeting, but probably wasn’t invited. His name is Ralph DeLeo and there is a simple reason he wasn’t in East Boston that night: the feds say Ralph DeLeo was a made member and a street boss of the New York Columbo crime family.
“This is the first time I have ever seen the acting street boss of a NY crime family in another area,” says FBI Special Agent Todd Richards.
Richards says he has never seen this happen in his three decades of law enforcement. The special agent revealed for the first time during his interview with FOX 25’s Bob Ward that the unassuming 70-year-old man, who lived in a basement apartment in Somerville, was not only a powerful mob figure, he was conducting New York crime family business in Boston.
“Mr. DeLeo was responsible for all of the daily criminal activity for the Columbo crime family which is based in New York, but he is doing it in Boston,” Richards explains. “He is doing it in the Boston area, under the radar screen.”
In the past, working on another family’s turf could mean big trouble, but Special Agent Richards tells FOX 25 that DeLeo was different. He was the lifetime friend of a top aide to the late New England mob boss Gennaro Angiulo. While in prison years ago, DeLeo forged ties with the Columbo crime family.
“While in prison, Mr. DeLeo becomes a confident of Allyboy Persico, who is the acting boss of the family at the time, because his father, Carmine “The Snake” Persico, is also incarcerated. Because of that association, Mr. DeLeo is well-respected,” Richards explains. “And upon his release from prison at some point, he becomes a made member of the Columbo crime family of New York.”
The feds say Ralph DeLeo was mostly a telecommuting crime boss, but he would travel from Boston to New York to conduct business two or three times a month by car or plane. Back at home near Boston, DeLeo played it cool.
“He was actually a hard worker. He was a maintenance man for a local company. He put in a full days’ work, then he got home, got on his computer, and read about the Columbo family and was very much involved in the daily activities of the Columbo family,” says Richards.
On Hanover Street in Boston’s North End, those political ties to two crime families gave Ralph DeLeo enormous respect and allowed him to run New York from Boston. In recent years, high level New England mob busts have left the local La Cosa Nostra reeling, creating a leadership vacuum. The mob might be down, but it’s not out. The question that remains is who will lead the next Boston mob, a local guy or a New Yorker?
“I don’t believe the Columbo family is here. I have not heard of another member of the Columbo family here, but we have looked at that with more scrutiny after we found Mr. DeLeo was operating in this area of operations,” says Richards.
Colombo Family “Street Boss” Sentenced to 199 Months on Racketeering and Firearms Charges
Ralph F. Deleo, 69, of Somerville, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock to 235 months in prison, with credit for 36 months of time served, for a total of 199 months, to be followed by three years of supervised release and a $50,000 fine. In May, Mr. Deleo pleaded guilty to a racketeering conspiracy and being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition. Judge Woodlock accepted Deleo’s guilty plea today and imposed sentence.
According to the Office of the US Attorney for Boston, Massachusetts, Mr. Deleo was the “street boss” of the Colombo Family of La Cosa Nostra (LCN) and the head of the DeLeo Crew, a criminal enterprise based in Somerville which engaged in the importation, trafficking, and distribution of narcotics and controlled substances, including cocaine and marijuana; extortion; loan sharking; and interstate and foreign travel in aid of racketeering. The Deleo Crew, as Mr. Deleos’ alleged wing of the organization was called, operated principally in the areas of Massachusetts, Arkansas, Florida and New York.
The Government attorneys claim that if the case had gone to trial, they could have proven that Mr.Deleo: •arranged and paid for a two kilogram cocaine deal; •traveled to Florida, New York and Connecticut, on Colombo Family business on various occasions; •attempted to collect an extension of credit by extortionate means in Canton, Massachusetts, on March 11, 2009; •conspired with other members of the DeLeo Crew and a businessman to administer a beating to the financial advisor of the businessman’s brother, with whom he had a dispute; •conspired with other members of the DeLeo Crew and other members and associates of the Colombo Family to import marijuana from Canada; and maintained in a hidden location a cache of at least eleven firearms, together with a silencer, ammunition, police uniforms, patches from at least three different police departments, wigs, masks, and zip ties.
La Cosa Nostra, also known as the “mafia,” is according to the Government of the United States a criminal organization that operates in various parts of the United States and Canada through entities known as “families.” The five most powerful families of LCN are based in New York City. The Colombo Family is one of those five families. The Deleo Crew was a separate entity from the Colombo Family.
After Dottie and I moved in together in Boston, we decided to move to California, which was a mistake. In talking to my therapist for three years, I saw I was beginning to suffer from PTSD. In hindsight, I beat the Boston Mafia – with their help. The MURDER of that puppy broke all codes for all people, everywhere! It is the shattering of basic codes and conduct that starts the dissolving of reality. There is a self-betrayal going on, in that you could have avoided the crisis if your ego had not compelled you to get involved. Policemen who kill dangerous citizens, conclude if they had not become a policeman, they would have never taken a life. Rendering life, dead, has a God-like consideration.
We should have stayed in Boston – and founded a church! This is what Dottie wanted to do, and felt destined to do. She descends from Signer John Witherspoon, who did introduce Christianity into the authoring of our Constitution – they say! Show me evidence of this.
I need four days to lay the ministry of Doug Wilson, low. He invoked the name of my kin, Robert E. Lee, and Jeb Stuart. He claims slaves had a wonderful bond with their owners.
Dottie and I hitched to Columbia South Carolina, where I met her sisters and cousins. I looked like Jesus. I did not know about my Rosamond ancestors of South Carolina. If I did, I would have asked Dottie to be my wife. We would have a Southern wedding before we left for California. I wish we hadn’t gone. Dottie met a Christian friend of mine, and left with her to live on a Jesus ranch. She took our Blue Tick Hound, Benjamin that was born on the 4th. of July. Our ancestors owned slaves.
It is alleged a million Evangelicals like Putin. Due to the declarations of Kirill, I highly suggest American churches should give their allegiance to real Patriot churches. May Witherspoon be a sane guide, who was there! British soldiers burned his library and papers.

Playing Chess For People’s Lives
Michelle pointed out a man sitting in a car across the street. She told me he was a Mafia boss, and her childhood friend’s ex-lover. She stole a belt from him containing codes for box cars carrying drugs as a means to be free from him. She asked my advise. She was thinking of taking his money to go find her friend in New Orleans – then running and hiding. I told her to never take Mafia money. I went down and arranged a meeting in a black bar in Roxbury. As I predicted, he pulled out a gun, pointed it at Michelle’s head, and asked her if she would do it. She said “No.” as I told her. He put the gun away, but, leaving the bar he pulled it out and shot it off four times, shouting “Come get me niggers!” He was blown away that whites lived in an all black neighborhood. He saw me come and go as calm as can be. He was afraid of blacks. Michelle was impressed that I said he would pull a gun on her. “It’s all he’s got!” This is why I have PTSD. https://rosamondpress.com/2015/07/06/the-macdowell-stewart-knox-witherspoon-line/
I posted the following on August 11 of last year. Rena was a Damsel in Distress. I save her. She can not take that away from me. Why would she want to?

I have gone into my posts at Christine Rosamond yahoogroup where I talk about playing chess for two peoples lives. Talk about Nerdish. How action-packed! Goes with the Road Trip by the Book.
In this post I am pining away for Rena back in 2010. I think I have an obsession. If I promise to go see a shrink, and stay away from a chessboard, will she come out of hiding – and have a cup of tea with me!
But, then there is how I came back to life and fully in my body after reading the books James Taylor put next to my bed. Those posts are a thriller!
