I don't think anyone is questioning you protecting your people; I'm sure there are many who even find it admirable.

No, the point I was raising that instead of working with the people who had shown you clemency and a desire to sculpt this world in a different - perhaps more reasonable manner, you chose to raze the entire west coast to the ground. Why? Well, because one man presented some form of evidence that there may have been a small number of folk who are accused of some sort of gunpowder plot, who happened to resided in Vegas or LA.

Why was diplomacy not a viable option if the accused were not in any sort of position of power? You say you're taking steps to protect your man? Ok, I accept that, but you did it by executing a hundred fine people, instead of sitting down with the people in power to resolve the matter amicably.

And lets face it - this was not a solo take-down. We all know that New York's were not the only guns taking shots at the ostracised west coast mobsters.

Oh how funny the tones change.  Just a few weeks ago when Disorder and his band of merry men were stomping the worlds guts out everyone was screaming "No one should be judged on their fathers past indiscretions!  That's so unfair!  Our children should have a fresh chance no matter what has occurred in the past!"  Now it seems it is perfectly fine to judge us based on what our fathers have done before us.  Oh the hypocrisy is so sweet I can taste it.  It is clear to me that no matter who is the king of the castle people will complain as my friend Termination has said.  Please take your two faced "whatever suits us now" bullshit and shut the fuck up.  If I wanted power I'd have stuck with Niflheim, helped them slaughter all those who opposed them, and carried on into the horizon.  I have no interest in running anything.  My fathers have done it and I have no want to repeat it.  

Truth be told when all the whispers came down the pipeline over the last few days I offered to retire.  I presented this option to everyone of power and influence within the New York structure.  "Oh you were just lying you would never step down or retire for the good of anyone else!".  Bullshit.  What would I do if Godfather Cletus did ask me to retire right there if it was a trap?  Wing a shot off of his bodyguards and die a miserable and dishonorable death?  I don't think so.  I was genuine in my offer to retire to save New York the hard decision of defending me or taking out Las Vegas and Los Angeles.  It was unanimously decided that we would stand together and fight those who had their strong opinions.

The truth is that we got wind people were talking shit about how I couldn't be allowed to gain traction and that they better be wary.  Over the course of a week it was delivered to me by multiple sources.  When those types of whisper reach my ears I start to worry about how long peace can last.  It is true the fair Bella_Swan stuck up for us.  But, how long could peace last on the word of one woman?  What were the odds she would be over ruled and New York would be killed?  At that point it becomes a simple equation my friends.  We either wait to see what happens with out death being the only outcome possible, or we make our own move to preserve ourselves.  The decision is pretty clear.

I've tried to bite my tongue here, but fucking el oh el, I cannot. The fact that you of all people have the audacity to use a term like "two faced" is the best thing I've seen out here in ages.

Phuture, perhaps the reason you're tasting such sweet hypocrisy because it's spewing from your mouth?  People judge you based on your illustrious tyrannical past because for the vast majority of it that has been your forte. You've purged and murdered bloodlines continuously whenever you have any sort of power. Sure, sure, you can come out and say you're looking for the bloodlines of old friends you ass fucked, and offer up bullshit fake apologies, but no one even remotely believes you. Well, except Simp, but there's always been a bit of something there anyway, hasn't there? 

You're the same man your father was, and his father, and so on and so forth. Same with your pal Spiral Spikey, who (for the time being at least) seems to be your pal again, until one of you snakes slithers into the other's bed and bites. Bets are on you since it'll take him roughly twice as long to have a gun capable of doing literally anything. Once Remy has outlived his usefulness you will toss him aside, just as your ancestors did countless others. No honor, no loyalty, no respect. You can't come out here and pretend like you're trying to start with a clean slate, because already logs have surfaced contradicting that very idea. Something around the lines of advising Bella not to take Sithis as a right hand because "we don't like him?" Seems legit.

You know, my line was cool with you guys, truly. I had spoken to you both somewhat, and didn't really expect to butt heads with you while I was aligned with Ishmael and Diogenis/Bella. But sure as shit, you betrayed them as well. 

Oh, and as to your little "retirement" bit - this was obviously a ploy to get Remy to make his move. He's so far up your ass right now and you are perfectly aware of it, and using it to further your agenda. Don't try to portray yourself as the martyr or sacrificial lamb trying to save his own city. None of your ancestors have given a damn about their own cities, why would you?

Fortunately for this Saiyan, bigger and better things are on the horizon and therefore I have no need to be on these shores to witness your two faced back stabbing run to the top. I hope you enjoy it, old bean.

And here we are. Everytime we see the bloodline of JTG in any sort of power, everybody does his dirty work and we are now like ALL previous times back down to only two cities with leaders.

Things never change and they never will.

CletusKasady, do you see any sort of pattern emerging? None of this look familiar from your ancestors journals? Stories you've been told as a wee boy by your old man?

I heard stories of so called 'playdates' your two family lines use to have a long time ago, you were the best of buddies. What happened? Oh yeah, that's right, your family was wiped.

Do you seriously think it is not going to happen again?

Enjoy having your strings pulled, it won't last long.

To be honest it was long overdue. The remainder of LA needed to be wiped out as Kompton was not fit to run a city nor fit to become a Godfather. I can not speak on the other crews since I've not worked with 'em closely - but this was 100% the right move to protect NY and their allies.

The Godfather of LA was Ishmael, ya goof.

And Ishmael was who? 

Kompton, yeah?

Ishmael did a fantastic job running the city of Los Angeles, granted he died too early to see what he could make of the city still a fantastic job nonetheless. His corpse is already buried, lets try not to throw dirt on his name as well, shall we? Especially seeing that he isn't here to defend himself.

I'm not throwing dirt on his name. I'm simply stating my opinion.

No DOOM, you're not throwing dirt. You're just randomly appearing to make a detrimental statement about him, unprovoked, knowing that he's dead. This is typically cowardly and pathetic, but not when you do it because you're just awesome. And doing so with the full logical equivalent of a drunk screaming "Fuck the color blue," given your detailed and evidence backed reasoning that followed, except it was brilliant because of the way you worded it. The man assisted in ending the lives of people trying to kill NY shortly before this. The notion that it was self defense is where you really show your true brilliance. Obviously LA and LV saved NY from a more formidable force than NY because they were going to make a power play after hearing whispers from gangsters whose parents just died and had no power in the cities. It was a plan so cunning and foolish at the same time given how obvious it was to you and Cletus. There is absolutely no way this was all just a haphazard effort to turn a narrative in the victor's favor. Bravo on assisting in exposing those rat bastards for being the rat bastards they are! They're the backstabbers, NY was just innocently defending themselves.

When can I expect your godfather speech? I'd love to reserve a front row seat if possible.
