The Lord, The Mafia, and The Government

By Carmine

Carmine's main purpose in writing this book at this time is to show that the government was the same thirty-six years ago as it is today. What the government officials did to him all those years ago compared to what they are executing against the President today is similar. In his opinion, his experience shows that no matter what candidate is running for a political position, if the opposition doesn't approve of him or her, then the government will destroy that person. To Carmine, it's like history repeating itself, and he hopes that his book will open your eyes. The messenger of God told Carmine to inform you, the reader, to open up your eyes and pay attention to what they are doing to this president! This book is about Carmine's gift from God, how he used it, and how he still uses it to help people today! Carmine has had an opportunity to have met some of the most powerful top Mafia chieftains of days past and officials in politics with the underlying ways of the government.

Acknowledgments

My special thanks go out to Judith VeVerka, my ghostwriter for this book. Her countless hours for transcribing my notes and scribbles are appreciated, along with piecing my jumbled story together. I found Judi through Facebook and was blessed to learn that we were members of the same church and held similar ideals about the political world we live in.

Judi is an English/Computer major, recently retired. She has spent the last thirty-one years teaching business applications and software programs in a private business college. Without her research, background in English and computer technology, and patience, I would never have been able to complete this manuscript. Today, Judi lives in the suburbs with her husband and cat, Panda. Between them, they have five children, seventeen grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Judi makes time to help her disabled granddaughter, drive senior citizens to their appointments, and works in her church’s outreach programs.

To the Reader

When I was considering writing my story, I had to decide whether I wanted to tell a fictional story or just record factual events. In order to get the American people to be enlightened to the reality surrounding President Donald Trump, I decided to tell the true facts in a story form. Everything you read is accurate and can be verified using FactCheck, except the beginning chapters about my life as a young man.

Americans need to take the rose-colored glasses off and realize that our government has been corrupt long before President Trump took office. He was elected to clean out the Washington swamp, and he seems to be accomplishing that task quite well. In my opinion, the only reason elected officials are fighting so hard to eliminate and discredit him is because he is exposing their crimes to the American people. Who can grasp that the corrupt politicians never planned on fixing our governmental system? They care about lining their own pockets with American dollars! They create laws, but they only apply to other Americans, not them. Why don’t they have the same set of rules to live by that the rest of us citizens do? Why don’t they live with our income limits and insurance premiums?

One of my reasons for telling this story is that I feel the need to make the American people aware of the crooked business practices of our government bending existing laws or creating new laws that have been going on for at least forty years. Is our government corrupt? Does our government create a list of people to eliminate? Do they create situations to set those people up as guilty? My interest and support in writing this book is to show support and the truth in the support of President Donald Trump.

My second reason for writing this story is to tell the world about my Jesus and my gift. I believe I was in prison for a specific reason, and that was to be anointed to help people. Sometimes the world is talking so loudly that we can’t hear the voice of God. Is God real? Can a mere man really talk to God? Can a Mafia man really experience God’s love and change his life? Can a former Mafia man really receive forgiveness and a heavenly gift from his God?

Names have been changed or I chose to only use first names to protect people from recognizing themselves. Many of my coconspirators are dead by the date of this publication. What’s tomorrow going to bring? Read my book, and you may gain good direction. I am just a normal man, a believer; it happened to me, and maybe I can lead you to my Lord. I want to invite you to track my adventures in my search for the answers. Stop by my church anytime—God does—maybe you can meet! Please follow my life and learn of the path I chose to follow.

President Trump and Government Compared to Carmine and Government

Introduction

The Lord

While home sleeping one night around August 18, 2018, I was awakened at 3:00 a.m. by the Lord and told to write my story about my life beginning in 1983. I was given exact instructions on what I needed to put in my story and reasons why I was to write it at this time! I was told to start writing about my early life growing up in the 1970s and about my business ventures with Dr. Captliz and an ex-football player from Muskegon, Michigan. Our company grew to be one of the largest packaging companies in Michigan. Before getting in-depth with my business experience, I want to tell you about my Lord and how my relationship with Him started.

Throughout my life, I have met some very famous Christian people; but one of the most influential people in my life was David Wilkerson1 in Fort Worth, Texas. I had moved from Michigan to Texas with a woman friend and her two children. Soon after buying a house behind Joe, one of my friends from western Pennsylvania, I was invited to an informal birthday party gathering at Joe’s house, and Pastor David Wilkerson was there. He spoke from the Bible and about a man named Jesus, and for the first time in my life, I heard the Gospel and how Jesus really died for me! Jesus, the Son of God, and how He died for me—me, a Mafia sinner! Suddenly, it all became personal; my life was changed forever. I became born again. I found a new boss and a new life beginning to form inside of me.

I believe my most life-changing experience was the gift I received from the Lord. Now, I am no one special, but God must have thought I was at the time. I know I was awakened in the early morning hours and told by God—yes God—that I was to follow the people and help remove fear from their personal lives. This gift became personal to me when I was told that I needed to have hernia surgery to remove a hernia that was causing me severe pain. God spoke to me while I was lying on the operating table in a prison operating room.

Suddenly, my spirit was transported up above the table, and I was looking down at my lifeless body. Surgical nurses were rushing around and shouting orders. A doctor was pounding on my chest, and then he had two paddles, and whack! I saw my body jerking up and down; the doctor said, He is dead; get another IV of epinephrine.

I remember this deep voice saying to me, We’re not ready for you. Go back down. The next thing I remember is sitting up on the operating table and saying, I’m out of here. Now! No operation! It was as clear as can be; I was looking on from above, and then I see that I am back in my body and leaving the room! I heard God talking directly to me at that time, and there was no question in my mind that it was God’s voice that I heard.

The Mafia

Most people believe the Mafia operates like the television programs of The Godfather or perhaps the HBO version of The Sopranos. It is all about connections or relationships, not the heavy-duty murders and bank robberies. Don’t misunderstand; some Mafia men do commit murders and horrendous crimes, but mostly, it is men building connections to help one another. For me, I believe my involvement started with my dad’s business partners and working with them transporting cement blocks, as innocent as that sounds. I was not disciplined or told what I was doing was wrong. From dad’s block business, I met several family members with shady practices in a fast world of business. My story is a truthful account about what’s really going on in the world of government officials, like the accusations against President Trump.

One of my friends was a man by the name of Candy Davis who had been the head of the Purple Gang in Detroit. At that time, he was probably 60 years old, so I must have been twenty or twenty-one years old. Candy had just gotten out of prison after serving eighteen years for murder. He had a dog, a little five-pound greyhound that was his baby; the dog went everywhere with him. He was always a quiet man who wore a fedora on his head, always wore a suit and tie, always conducted himself as a gentleman everywhere.

There is a restaurant called Hattems in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that became Candy’s place when he lived with me there. Most people thought I was crazy to have him living with me, but the man treated me fair. I trusted the Mafia more than I do our government because I always knew where I stood with them, just like I knew where I stood with Candy. We were very good friends looking out for each other. Candy had a girlfriend, but the five-pound greyhound was more important to him than the girlfriend could ever be, he told me once!

Back to my story, we were going to Hattems for dinner and cards one evening. Hattems was famous for their liver pâté; it was delicious—and the only place in the local area that made it. Most of the family members would hang around at the place, around 5 or 6 o’clock. They would get together and have a drink with all the business people in town from Detroit or Chicago. One night, we were going upstairs where there was a card room and an outsider, a middle-aged man came down the stairs. He looked at Candy and made a crude remark about the dog. As I said, that dog was Candy’s life! We were walking up the stairs, and as this man passed us, Candy reached into his pocket and grabbed a fork, stabbing the man right in the neck while we just kept right on walking. Walking up the stairs. I just wanted to keep right on walking because I didn’t want to be around to see what was going to happen next. The man stumbled down the stairs, and whatever happened to him, I really don’t know and don’t care.

My ‘gift’ became well-known throughout the prison in Eglin, Florida. One of the top Mafia men in the country requested to see me for help when we were locked up there at the same time. We met in the TV room and, of course, the guards were there because prisoners are under constant observation. If ‘someone’ wanted to get rid of you or stop you from whatever you were organizing in prison, ‘someone’ schedules you for a surgery.

God’s messengers had me given a message for him and had even told me that this man would be requesting to talk to me. Like my previous experience, he was scheduled for a hernia operation; ‘someone’ mixed the orders on his surgical papers, and the doctors were going to cut his feet off! My ‘gift’ warned me that I was to pass the information on to the Mafia man. When I got done discussing this message with him about the warning, he didn’t have the operation! He never had the surgery, and he probably never even had a hernia.

The Government

The government today is no different than forty years ago. Consider, for example, Max Blumenthal, the editor of independent media outlet The Grayzone, who was secretly arrested on October 25, 2019, in a SWAT-style morning raid on his Washington DC home. He was held in DC CBNTRQ Vision Facility for two days, incommunicado, or without the ability to communicate to the outside world, having been refused a phone call. He claims to have been shackled by his hands and ankles for some
