Don't you think ONE case would have been mentioned by now?. Do you know how the courts work?. They would have named him in the paperwork or someone would have outed him as an informant for bringing them down, it has never happened. You know who are informants and ithas been shown?. Gang members wwho are active, drug dealers who are supplying nikkas, and from what I heard some music execs who let the police know who does what and hangs with who so they can build cases. They don't need to worry about Al sharp ton, the streets and music have enough agents. This is not the 60's anymore, the new leaders who sway the people are musicians and drug dealers, and the feds know this.

it did happen.

Two days ago :pachaha:

Even the dudes he ratted on didn't suspect him. Thats how good he was.

Al Sharpton is the person telling me all I need to know, why is he orchestrating coke deals for others, coke deals he would benefit financially from?

That is not how a deal works. This nikka said two sentences out the whole video and none of it was for him or negotiating prices. The system and media are playing yy'all for suckers man and its against someone who speaks up for you when shyt is foul. When people got stopped in Macy's and Barney's, who was the one who made them acknowledge what they did and try to prevent it next time? Al, no one else. When nypd did the stop and frisk and shooting up people, who made it known to the world what was happening and made sure there will be some changes? Al. I could go on and on but no one wants to admit what he has done to help us because they hate his image. I cant do nothing but accept it and realize why we are where we are at. We cant see our enemies and frie ds because we are too emotional.

It is obvious many democrats were aware of Al's past. If Al was really associated with the mobs, Obama wouldn't have build allegiance with Al Sharpton. We all understand that politician will immediately cut ties and keep a distance from anyone who is involved in organized crime. What is so palpable is conservatives are revealing this information as if it was something new that will create a storm of controversy that will bring Al down and make Obama look bad. However, Al had already divulged this story in his autobiography. The Right stay blowing punches at the democrats, but they always seemed to miss

Exactly.

The fact that Al Sharpton worked for the FBI means he would not work against them for black peoples best interest which is the kind of leadership black people need.

This man bamboozled black people for 30 years + knowing damn well he was not going to go the extra mile and speak truth to power by exposing or going against the FBI.

All black leaders have been bought and paid off so don't expect them to do or say anything like Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Fred Hampton etc. These idiots want to maintain the status quo for black folk which is why they will not good the extra mile like previous black leaders that were not being paid off.

But like usual black people will forget about this and give this poverty pump a free pass instead of holding him accountable.

You haven't address anything on what that Sharpton has done wrong to the black community. Where are you examples of him bamboozled black people for 30 years ?

you're being delusional, I can see who our enemies are with great clarity. just because Sharpton stands up for Black people (as he should), doesn't change the fact that he was negotiating to buy cocaine.

:ohlawd:

and besides, how did this meeting happen in the first place if there was no prior trust gained in the underworld on the behalf of Al?

people don't discuss 35 kilos with just anybody. Sharpton was involved in the drug game and nikkas refuse to see it when it's as plain as day.

Facts Derail Lying Sharpton's Informant Tale
Former FBI Mafia snitch spins fabricated story of "CI-7" work

Informant Al Sharpton

Informant Al Sharpton

APRIL 9--In a desperate effort to explain away his work as a paid government informant, the Rev. Al Sharpton yesterday claimed that he first ran into the FBI’s arms after his life was threatened by gangsters, an incident that prompted him to then record 10 face-to-face encounters with one of those dangerous hoodlums.

That story is a lie.

In fact, Sharpton’s fabricated tale is belied by FBI records that provide a clear account of when and why he began working as a cooperating

informant. After unveiling his fable at a morning press conference, Sharpton repeated his claims last night at the close of his “PoliticsNation” show on MSNBC, where fact checkers and bosses alike do not appear concerned with the truthfulness of the host’s off- and on-air pronouncements.

By tampering with the chronology of--and motive for--his enlistment as an FBI informant, Sharpton is furiously attempting to cast that cooperation in the most favorable light possible. He was not a rat or a snitch, Sharpton protests. In fact, the reverend contends that he was not even aware the FBI considered him an informant. The money he was paid by his FBI handler? Well, that was just reimbursements for carfare, Sharpton claims. As he explained to MSNBC viewers, Sharpton was just a victim looking for Uncle Sam’s protection and intervention.

Sharpton contends that he first contacted the FBI in early-1984, immediately after his life was threatened by Salvatore Pisello, a wiseguy with music industry connections. As Sharpton tells it, Pisello was incensed that the activist was threatening to stage boycotts and demonstrations unless black promoters were given a piece of the upcoming “Victory Tour” featuring Michael Jackson and his brothers.

At a press conference yesterday at his Harlem headquarters, Sharpton claimed that Gambino soldier Joseph “Joe Bana” Buonanno set up the meeting at which Pisello threatened his life. In his autobiography, Sharpton reported that Pisello traveled from Los Angeles to New York to threaten him. The book, however, makes no mention of Buonanno, who is deceased, or his purported role in facilitating Pisello’s alleged death threat.

Sharpton did not bother to tell reporters how he knew Buonanno in the first place. Buonanno had been involved in the record industry for decades, and was business partners with Robert Curington, a convicted felon who also happened to be a close associate of Sharpton’s (and a vice

president of the reverend’s not-for-profit National Youth Movement).

Concerned for his safety, Sharpton claims that he called the FBI in early-1984 and reported the Pisello encounter. In short order, the reverend began cooperating with federal agents. Spurred by the threat, Sharpton says he taped a series of ten face-to-face meetings with Buonanno--but not Pisello, the hoodlum who allegedly threatened the activist’s life.

Those Sharpton recordings--made with an FBI-issued briefcase containing a hidden recording device--spanned a three-month period beginning in April 1984, according to FBI records.

As Sharpton spun out this tale Tuesday, he claimed to have detailed the Mafia death threat in his 1986 book “Go And Tell Pharaoh.” He dismissed TSG’s review of this period of his life as “old news” since he had purportedly already written the story himself years ago.

However, while Sharpton’s book does refer to a menacing gangster named “Sal,” Buonanno does not rate a single mention. Additionally, Sharpton’s problems with “Sal” appear to have been settled quickly--and in the activist’s favor, according to the book.

So, if Pisello was the hood who purportedly threatened Sharpton’s life, why did the FBI direct the reverend to surreptitiously record Buonanno on 10 separate occasions? Because those recordings had nothing to do with the alleged Pisello threat, according to several law enforcement sources. In fact, two investigators said they could recall no connection between Buonanno and Pisello (who was never charged with threatening Sharpton).

Sharpton’s story, built on a narrative conflation, is preposterous. He wants viewers and journalists to believe that the FBI, upon being told about Pisello’s death threat, sent the reverend out wired to record another guy. Ten times.

☑︎#VoteDemocrat · Apr 9, 2014

Here is what actually happened:

Sharpton began cooperating with the FBI in mid-1983. So he had actually been working as a confidential informant for about nine months before Pisello’s purported threat, an encounter that Sharpton now falsely claims prompted him to first contact federal agents (and subsequently begin recording Buonanno).

The reverend was “flipped” by FBI agents three months after he was filmed in March 1983 (during a bureau sting) talking cocaine with an undercover agent. On a Thursday afternoon in

June 1983, Sharpton showed up at a Manhattan apartment expecting to meet again with the undercover agent, who was posing as a former South American druglord seeking to launder money through boxing promotions.

Instead, Sharpton was confronted by FBI agents who showed him the “cocaine” videotape. The panicked reverend agreed--on the spot--to cooperate with federal agents, according to sources familiar with the contents of Sharpton’s FBI informant file.

At the direction of his FBI handlers, Sharpton initially recorded conversations with boxing promoter Don King, who was the principal target of “Crown Royal,” the FBI undercover operation that had ensnared Sharpton in March 1983.

The date that Sharpton began cooperating is further fixed in a July 1984 draft of a wiretap affidavit. That document, sworn by an FBI agent, referred to Sharpton as “CI-7,” short for confidential informant #7. The description of “CI-7” noted that he had been providing information to the bureau for “in excess of one year.” “CI-7,” the document reported, had made a series of surreptitious recordings of Buonanno discussing a variety of Mafia business.

Sharpton wants the public to believe that he used his FBI valise to secretly record a wiseguy---over and over and over again--because another wiseguy threatened his life. Oh, he has also claimed that these mafioso were allegedly oppressing black recording artists, too.

So, that being the case, the FBI summaries of Sharpton’s meetings with Buonanno must be filled with references to threats directed at the civil rights leader. Surely Sharpton would have asked Buonanno something like, “Joe, why does your friend Sal want me dead?” Or even, “Joe, when you set up

that meeting with Sal, did you know that he was going to threaten to clip me?” Maybe Sharpton would even take the opportunity to try and extract details of the mob’s pernicious influence on minority performers.

Strangely, though, the bureau summaries contain no such information. In fact, they read as if the two men were old friends, amiably discussing topics like extortion, murder, “made” men, and a guy named “Chin.” Buonanno even told Sharpton about his eighth-grade education and his birthday. Somehow Sharpton--who appeared remarkably comfortable with the wiseguy--was able to hide any signs of duress, despite that supposed death threat hanging over his processed head.

As TSG reported earlier this week, Sharpton’s involvement with Buonanno--a supposed facilitator of Mafia death threats--did not cease after his briefcase was switched off.

In fact, several years later, when Sharpton and Curington were seeking to collect a six-figure consulting fee owed to them by Joe Robinson, founder of Sugar Hill Records, “Joe Bana” was one of several hoodlums who showed up unannounced at the label’s New Jersey office. The hoodlums threatened Robinson over the money owed to Sharpton and Curington, whom the Drug Enforcement Administration once termed a “Class 1” narcotics trafficker.

After Robinson complained to police about the mob muscle pressuring him, a local cop kept an eye out for wiseguys arriving at Sugar Hill’s headquarters. One day, Detective Edward Stempinski of the Englewood Police Department caught Buonanno and a Genovese crime family figure at Sugar Hill. Stempinski, now retired, recalled that the wiseguys “didn’t look like they should be going into a rapper’s studio.”

So while Sharpton now links Buonanno to Pisello, “Joe Bana” was apparently an acceptable debt collector even after supposedly helping expedite a Mafia death threat. Perhaps the reverend consulted the Bible (Colossians 3:13), which advises, “Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.”

As he closed his “PoliticsNation” show yesterday, Sharpton claimed that he approached the FBI to “try to protect myself and others,” adding that, “I was an American citizen with every right to call law enforcement.” He also declared, “We must live in a country where people can call law enforcement and not be castigated.” (1 page)

Sharpton is CLEARLY brokering a deal to buy cocaine.

Now, I understand his role in helping SOME black issues...but call a spade a spade fam.

He helped put some EVIL fukkers away. I'm cool with that...but you must ask yourself...why was he cool with evil fukkers in the first place??? Rats aren't despised because they help the FBI, but because they are exposed for being vile people themselves.

They got the MAKE and MODEL of this nikka's BRIEFCASE he used to record, fam

You must have never been around people in entertainment. It attracts all types of people especially of the criminal kind who love to talk about their criminal activities. Again, that was not a deal. It goes deeper then that.
