Today I sat down with the Italians.
I needed to speak with the Boss;
and have a serious conversation.
I told y'all a WAR is coming.
And these moves I'm making are in preparation.
No one survives in this world without contacts & friends.
Without good relations.
We're gonna need help from time to time.
"NO MAN IS AN ISLAND!"
I'm not the most powerful man around.
They are men more powerful than me.
Who can kill me just as easily as I breathe.
I'm not the smartest man around.
They are men much more intelligent than me.
Men who can easily outmaneuver me.
But I've been called the most reliable man around.
They give me a job to get done & I get it done.
Again & again, over the years, I got shit done.
And because of this I've EARNED THE RIGHT to at any time call out to each of them for a SIT DOWN.
The WAR COMES.
And it's not with whom you think.
A more terrible FOE is coming to call for us all to be extinguished.
Why do you think I came home so quickly?
For my old friend, the cheater?
She was one of the reasons.
The OTHER—
I was in a bar in the Philippines.
And I caught whispers.
I heard someone talking about something they didn't completely understand.
I did some research, made some calls,
and found the true meaning in what they DIDN'T KNOW they were saying.
Once I understood and confirmed it, I quickly got on a plane.
On the flight, I put the pieces together & learned his name.
But still I wasn't 100% sure.
I needed to get back home & tap my sources to be sure.
Now I'm sure.
The men in my organization,
my 2nd in command, my now foe;
and all who follow him—
I told them we need to STOP;
stop these internal squabbles.
The WAR comes!
And if we fail to put aside things that separate us & bring us down, we're DONE.
I told you a LEADER MUST HAVE FORESIGHT;
keen foresight.
Absent it, the cost are LIVES.
And that's why I'm sitting down with every BOSS, Jefe, Chief, and every leader in every territory adjacent to mine.
HE COMES.
And we're running out of time.
Last night I saw something on the DARK WEB
A code of sort, a coded message.
The Italians have a guy who can decode anything, if he knows what to look for.
That's why I went to see them.
The message— they're speaking to one another;
speaking to HIM.
Making plans toward OUR END.
Love, Romance, Sex, Food, Culture:
these placed me in the Philippines.
A higher power, right place, right time, Luck brought me back home to the FAMILIES.
Tomorrow I go to Chinatown to sit down with that family.
They too have something I need.
