Isa takes a minute to make a copy of the mail she sent to all the uppers. It occurred to her some of the fine folks up and working may not have uppers available to spread the word.

***Mass Mail to all Upper Structures***
Greetings and good day to all. As you know I am not a rogue and everyone is aware I like to breathe life into this thing of ours. I am not part of any private club.  

I am currently handling an internal issue in Vegas. It has come to my attention that myself and all else in Paradise are in imminent danger. And for no other reason other than "Entitlement." The kin of Goku, Cirilla, preaches something ends and somethings begins. And he is absolutely correct. The problem is he has been promised Paradise will be his to run. This is where the entitlement comes into play. He is now powerful enough to aid in the removal of Paradise. 

I ask if you came across this news would you blow it off or would you move to beat them at their own game? Let's face it the latter would be your decision. And I have made it my decision. 

I respectfully I ask you to stand back and let Vegas sort this out without any interference. I am confident I have earned enough respect to have my wishes met. Please holster your guns. I am not even asking for assistance. I do not want any unnecessary bloodshed. 

Respect

Isa 

Dalora crawls out of her coffin to address the stupidity in the announcement .

“I knew every plan of my mothers and absolutely none involved in removing an active and well established GF of a district to replace them. She HAD told Cirilla he could have Summerlin. He instead chose to support another hard working mafioso in having that district and remaining a CL there.” 

Thank you for coming out, Delora. Your kin sat with a blind eye and watched a crew leader who was highly active and established with an active crew get slaughtered. So, save it. I am not a scallywag you can tell anything to. 

Yes, Cirilla's kin Zyhir was offered Summerlin. He took a fall as we all know. It was Dawson who stepped up and took Summerlin to hold for Cirilla until he became of age. Then it was decided Dawson would remain in Summerlin after he authed Cirilla. 

You know damn right well you promised Cirilla Paradise. And the plans were a heartbeat away. 

Good game, Isabella. 
 

The Uncle most certainly had no knowledge of any move to remove yourself. If his life must have to be taken due to his crew association, than so be it. That’s the life we live.

However, I just got this gut feeling that you were used as a pawn in a bigger game. You might be a godfather, but you certainly are not a player. Maybe I’m wrong - but I doubt it.

RIP.

Dalora paranoia does not suit me. Denying your plan is the norm. Now had I just did nothing about your little plan that nobody expects you to admit, I might have experienced the paranoia you speak of. I cannot say for sure. What I can be certain about is that I opted to intercept you plan. 

How do you like the transparency I am displaying?  Are you taking notes? 

Acer I am certain your uncle was not made aware of the planned removal of Paradise. I was asked about your uncle, and I had no answer. Other than you were fair game. If you mean I am not a player because I have no strings to pull (like a puppet) you are correct. 

As an outsider, todays events really aren't of much concern to myself. The ifs, buts and whys of the matter really isn't something anyone else can comment on. However, there is one point I know only too well and it's been touched on many times over the years on our streets. History is taught by the victors.

So many times have we heard the children of fallen mobsters running their mouths, trying to correct leaders and Godfathers, petty thief's trying to prove a point. One can only hope we're not going to see anything along those lines here, I'd like to think all parties involved will continue to hold themselves in higher regard.

Thanks for the short explanation of what happened here today Isabella, it's nice for us outsiders to be kept somewhat in the loop when we see something as big as this happen. Especially from the other coast where we'd been hearing second hand information until you made your announcement. In my opinion a coherent explanation for the masses is just as important as the event itself, it seems a bit more of a rarity these days compared with when my grandfather was last on these streets though.

There is always two sides to a story Blake.

BlakeOakfield, I'm not sure the phrase 'history is written by the victors' - something which specifically refers to propaganda and bias - is a good reason to offer for why victims shouldn't speak up, though I suppose the underlying attitude of it would explain why journalists continue to be the most oppressed people in this community. 

Unfortunately, my crewleader and the Leader of the Streets SilentAssassin is taking a much needed sabbatical after his treacherous and deceitful RHM FastFingerFreddy attempted to organize his very own silent assassination, otherwise I'm sure he would have something lucid and coherent to say about this. 

To suggest I'm trying to silence anyone is comical and not at all what I wrote.

I've lost count of the times where I've seen sons and daughters appearing on the streets, shouting and raging. This is all I was referring to, and in no way have I suggested this has been the case here already as I think the people involved are above lowering themselves to those standards. Hence my use of the word continue.

I like to think of myself as an advocate of journalism here and that was my point, to thank Isabella for shining some light on the situation. Even if that wasn't her immediate intention, she brought the information to the streets quickly. I'm sure at some point we've all been hanging around impatiently, waiting for an announcement which never arrives.

Needles to say, I'm not hear to speak of journalism or a treacherous RHM so I'll leave my input there.

You're lucky SilentAssassin isn't here to cut you down in a typically well-spoken and incisive fashion, Miles_of_Style. I am deeply regretful this internal faction warfare is now spilling out into the streets. You, of course, as the leader of the FastFingerFreddyists, and myself, the lone flag-holder for the SilentAssassinistas. Are you under the impression he rose to Leader of the Streets out of pure coincidence? Our man will return with a vengeful comprehensibility, I have no doubt. In fact, I have good reason to believe he's gone to spelling camp. Watch out. 

I'm more of a civilian consiglieri figure in this family, Miles_of_Style, which you would have learned if you'd been more involved in our activities instead of perpetuating this civil war. SilentAssassin sees me as a sort of big brother/father figure, also known as a Big Papa. And as SA's Big Papa, it falls on me to defend him when men like FastFingerFreddy turn Judas. The fact you can't even recognize the crucial diplomatic value of the LOTS position for a crewleader - no doubt the most significant factor keeping him alive this long into his absence - says enough about your understanding of the geopolitical machinations at work here, and why men like me are so important to this organization. 

Miles_of_Style, while it is very brave of you to offer, I do not have a gun. As SA's Big Papa and peacetime consiglieri, he expressly forbid me from partaking in the kind of criminal activities that would have earned me one, as generating heat towards such a position would be unwise. He is a strategist and a tactical thinker, unlike FastFingerFreddy, who retired out of humiliation because he wasn't deemed good enough to replace a man on unsanctioned vacation. 

Everyone knows time is a flat circle and things go in & out of style. All I want to know is why people named Isabella have a history of killing their own GFC? Is this a coincidence? Foul play? Mental illness on my part? Tell me someone remembers this happening before but in Philadelphia!?!?!?

With the de facto LOTS out on unsanctioned vacation do we need the competition comisson to investigate? I sure wish we had some alive journalists who could look into this. 

We don't need anyone to investigate. Isabella has said what happened. End of story.

You built a gun on members of your own district now you're taking aim at your own city. Jeez- with friends like you who needs enemies?

HaroldBogtrotter was a very old man, and he had seen a thing or two in his time. He wasn't going to say much, he appreciated the information. But then the talking dog started and HaroldBogtrotter just found himself more confused, more so over the words the dog was saying, rather than the announcement coming from the Godmother of Las Vegas. 

she did a right thing for her and for Las Vegas 

Can you please explain to me how only removing a handful of people is doing the right thing for the city as a whole? Surely all this has done is painted a target on the Godmother's back, because some people won't take kindly to this. 

Personally I'm thankful to still be in California, where the communication is top notch, I'm a nothing and nobody, and I'm pretty sure the winnings from Lucky's Casino ensure everyone is happy here.  

Clear and to the point, thank You God Farther Chair of The Strip LV Isabella. I support you always, in all ways.
