What a terrible deal. Tell on everyone and you still get life in prison.
That’s the government
Agree. He was very courageous.
Same thing happened to Casso he Flipped after doing a Blood Purge in his own Family/Wacking out several other members of Different family(Gambino's), The feds ripped up his deal 🤝, Cooperate & still get life than what's the Point 🤷♂️of flipping in the first place, Gaining Peace of Mind 🧠.
@@Frosty98206he actually got caught telling lies and kept on breaking his cooperating agreement! Big difference from this clown
You make me laugh. He was what? You clowns forget he was a hit man for the family. He was ripped off? I was 11 when I heard my first family hit on my way to school. Dummy slept with the wrong woman. 😊
I LOVE how metal pipes are lying around in the prison yard. ❤❤
Yeah, that’s crazy!
Right?? Left by construction workers is just crazy!
😅
Oh the ease to murder but the fear of death.. quite the conundrum
The exceptions are very few.
That’s how it be
So this guy was so paranoid that he kills an innocent man....then rats on evryone only to still get life in prison 😂😂😂 smh embarrassing
😂😂
The flip side was to be murdered, or sent to the electric chair. These days he would have been given full immunity for the information he gave and the family of the man he killed would have received no justice.
😂😂😂
He wouldn’t have been the first snitch but what he did was still bad though for the mob and was one of many that eventually brought the mob down.
The mob still exists just not as it used to be back then.
Agree. They're still around for sure.
He definitely wasn't the first snitch but was definitely the first to testify
Why say CIA in the header when he snitched to the FBI? Is that really too difficult to get right?
Forget about it 🤌
Colin Teirney voice is a masterpiece 🙌
And beautiful, educated British English to boot.
But he pronounces “Mafia” as “Mah-fia,” instead of “Ma-fia.”
@@Ceerads Typical British pronunciation. Most good English/British dictionaries show that difference (Oxford, Collins, Cambridge, for example). But that shouldn't bother Americans.
@@3BK235Y Thank you. I figured as much, and I usually appreciate British pronunciation (the various British accents). But with the word “Mafia”….🤠
@@Ceerads Perhaps just another of our British excentricities. 😀
Cheers.
Superbly narrated by Mr. Tierney
The voice, the beautiful, educated, elegant British accent, everything about him as narrator is good .
"Omerta" code of silince !! Th mob have been ratting on each other since the beggining of time
' beginning '
I am the Spelling Mafia...be warned
@@mlassz009😄🤫
Also : 'silence'
@bigwoogc To be honest, half the stuff I post on UA-cam, looks like it's been produced by an illiterate 5yr old
😂@@mlassz009
The interesting thing about all this is that the Mafia existed way before the FBI and was extremely active all through Hoover’s time in charge and yet he spent years denying it even existed and only really went after them as a result of Appalachin meeting and Valachi talking allowing Bobby Kennedy to pressure him into action. All very odd.
The Mob had compromising photos of Hoover and his boyfriend, Clyde Tolsen.
@@djquinn11 yea, I heard that one . If that was the case why did they never release them?
Hoover spent his time chasing Marcus Garvey and later the black panthers. And yea I heard he was being blackmailed by mob.
If they release them they lose the power the pictures held
Supposedly Hoover in a dress giving head to a man
Supposedly Lanksy got the picture from another Jewish bootlegger and Roy Cohn
@@tatata1543tmz didn't exist to offer a good check for those pictures. 😅
I read the Valachi Papers when I was in elementary school...been intrigued by the Mafia ever since
How you make this deeplink ?
Very interesting indeed...thx for sharing😊
DUI conviction penalties are NOT NEARLY severe enough in this country
I agree I lost my girlfriend when we were 14. She was walking on a sidewalk. He got 3 years. That was 1971..
@@rickallen1908 He must have been italian, everyone knows the Sicilians run the show and Italians are just the same as todays Thugs. So whats the difference beween an Itallian and Sicilian you ake? Aout 200 million!
One thing I don't understand: Why would Vito Genovese let Valachi know he was gonna be killed? What's the benefit of that? It could make Valachi turn against him, and the mob. For Genovese that could mean death...
Because Vito did not put out a hit on him. Valachi imagined everything and took everyone down with his imagination.
@@wraynephew6838 In life we all make mistakes. In the mob they may be all added up. You never know what the boss is thinking. I can imaging Valachi's paranoia...
@@wraynephew6838exactly this. If Vito Genovese wanted him dead while they were in the same prison together, he would have been killed as he found out about it. The mob, not even the crazier ones don't warn people before killing them, closest to that would be an open hit put on someone
The kiss of death is insane
bruh!
Very entertaining!
Great watch
Excellent video.
This would've been a lot more enjoyable if it hadn't been for all of that annoying background "music".
... My Mam Hates Loud Background Music, Or "Bloody Whispering" & Really Loud Adverts 😂😂😂
@@TS-1267 Yeah, I guess it's common amongst us oldsters.😎
The Valachi Papers is my dad's favorite Charles Bronson movie.
7:00-7:15 That sound quite different from the "deals" criminals are offered today.
32:09-32:17 Board of Directors of the great corporations are not much different from that.
"I knew it was you, Joe. You broke my heart. You broke my heart!"
So many nuns in the courtroom .. WHY ?
Deus Vult
@@igordrakulovic6857 catholicism is a front for the mafia/elders of Zion.
Its crazy that a hit man (Valachi) that killed many was so terrified of dying himself
The bosses really ruined a good thing with their stupidity.
whats the music for your intro?
So there’s a real Cheech! I’m thinking of the Cheech in “Bullets Over Broadway.”
That was a terrible deal the government never keeps it word after they use u
It's pretty stupid to suggest that they didn't know the literal meaning of Cosa Nostra until Valachi told them. Of course they didn't know what it referred to but do you really think they couldn't look up the meaning of two simple Italian words?
background music and noise ruined it for me
Little did Valachi😮 know the impact he made.And the throngs of men that followed in his footsteps!! R.I.P JoeValachi
So.. the mafia snitched to the mafia.. hmmm.
The CIA doesn't deal with mob cases, that's the FBI's gig.
Everyone knows this. What, does that have to do with Valachi being a rat?
Yeah, CIA is more likely to help organized crime in America like protecting the French connection or supplying Rick Ross and shit like that. FBI definitely are the ones to go after this kind of thing, DEA if drugs are involved and maybe ATF
Now we have billionaires pulling heists in the open and having the government foot the bill because they're too big to fail.
Joe was the hero of decent society. Thanks Joe.
😢why would you take a where you had to murder and hurt people. 😢
So sad.
La Cosa Nostra "Our Thing" or "This thing of ours"
You could be an "earner" a long time and still never be "made". "getting your bones" (killing someone) speeds up the process
There is no LA. its just Cosa nostra
A good-looking older man.
The first one...in the US.
26:15 goombah? Or gombah?
The same Joe Valachi who squeal to the Senate committee about organize crime!?!
The background music is ruined the whole documentary
Toooo loud
RFK questioned Valachis Credibility??? Ha ha
that's my grandpa
Lol don't lie
Your grandpa was the best canary aroundddd🐦
Bet your family has some stories!
I find it funny when a person from the streets tells Congress or law enforcement about serious crimes they are called a snitch or a rat. But when the person comes from a corporation or a government position they are called whistleblowers. No matter what your social position in life is, telling law enforcement about a serious crime is a good thing. The double standards in America give me headaches.
So they were right that he was the bad apple.
Ok brother in law😂😂❤
That kiss 💋 looked a bit to affectionate 😳 maybe they were more than cell mates??
Lust
A soldier in a Million man army is not the same as a soldier in a 450 man army...Ratio vastly different
Wasn’t he known as Joe cago?
What u sow in life is what u reap. That simple
Danger for the Kennedys.
Did you say low life?? What are you?! That's why you'll never understand people in this type of life and you will be under such people.
💯 FACTS

The Blessed Virgin Mary
Yeah. When the soldiers realized that loyalty only extended as far as the bosses face, the dominoes fell.
Luciano was a character who held it together and maybe he did have loyalty that extended down. But not most of the bosses. When you are in it for yourself but depend on others, the law will exploit that and rightly so.
With its "production values" this thing is really drawn out! It just takes too long to get the point across! And why were they smoking in Congress?
It couda been so sweet, and we fucked it all up. Lol
He was going to talk about Mafia anyway.
He gives a wealth of evidence that they have never heard before...names all the names and tells them how the whole system works and only and gets his crimes
knocked down to just a life sentence...other mafia killers ratted after him and got complete immunity....dude had a shit lawyer...
27:41 Scooby Doo Velma
One bad apple... One bad patch of grass.
To CIA ? 😂😂😂 CIA literally have nothing to do investigating organized crime in USA😂
BS Const. Workers don't leave pipe layin in the yard
Host said "Atlanta State Prison" at the beginning. How werw they in a State facility? Smh. I'm sure he meant the Fed joint.....
Song 42:19?
I don't see what he did that was so wrong. Nowadays you'd get a small fine.
Too much music
He was first 🐀. They wanted to kill him in jail ! He killed one claimed was one of them started ratting . Mafia sometimes create 🐀.. paranoia
47:10 didn’t he die of cancer ??? Cmon get it right !
@ 2:06 narrator says Atlanta STATE prison. Wrong! Its a FEDERAL pen
The government is know different in many ways. It just legal for them.
Go to the jail 😂😂❤
Did Valachi write his book while he was doing life? Was it worth it???
Kinda sucked they didn't have Witsec for Valachi
The FBI coulnt translate 2 Italian words?
uuuuuuuuuu😮😮ùuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu😮auuuuuuuuuuuu
Looks like Valachi was rather short...5 foot 5??
Gotta give Valachie his due...Violent little maniac
Kid twist was the first 🐀
Jewish, an therefore no member of the mafia
@@africanblue your right there but he did a lot of work for just an associate. Him being part of Anastasia's "Brownsville boys" must have been very busy working at the beck and call of the national syndicate.
It was way better when they were doing business then these corporations
CIA…?
I'm a custodian for the AOC and I work on the Senate side as I am watching this I'm wondering which room and building this hearing was in cause we have 3 buildings on the Senate side which are all connected
Dies in prison anyways , what was the point on being a rat?
Al Pacino that
07:16
Bro really a dh hate folk like em
I didn't know Vito Genovese was such a sweet man. He gave Joe Valachi a kiss!
Joe velocity was a rat
It's laughable how incredibly stupid and juvenile a mob a mafia a Cosa Nostra is. It's just so unbelievably stupid that I can't believe it's seriously was or is still a thing😂😂😂😂😂
Cia is no fool you ok
I find it interesting that people watch Valachi being led around by his government handlers, asked leading questions by Senators, and not smell the rat. Valachi wasn't what he appeared to be. Ask yourself what was really happening here.
JOE VALACHI
The First SNITCH
U always make a mistake. What u sow us what u reap.
Rat.
Nothing but a rat.
If he'd been rosettastone they'd know there was no lefttennants
Lieutenants
I am also in the Spelling Mafia 😉
Are you referring to Tierney's pronunciation of "lieutenant" or to something else?
In the UK it’s pronounced “leftenants.”
@@Ceerads Perhaps many Americans don't know that.
@@3BK235Y I guess they/we don’t. But it’s damn well time they/we learned!
Never collected.
Collected what ?
@@liamwilsonwright4116the rent the rent . He’s here for the rent
He whata rat and nuddin budda a rat
King rat😅
who the hell cares?
