• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

His failure to kill Hyman Roth did it for me.

My question always was why the fuck did Michael have this octogenarian as his muscle?
 
I stumbled across a clip from Knight and Day, a Tom Cruise movie from 2010.

Tom Cruise on federal agents coming to take the female lead, June: "DIP. It means Disinformation Protocol. Federal agents will say I'm mentally unstable, paranoid, violent and dangerous. It'll be convincing. A few key DIP keywords to listen for, words like 'stabilize', 'secure', 'safe'. If they say these words with repetition, it means they're going to kill you."
 
It either came out of a U.S. laboratory, or it came out of the Wuhan Institute of Virology,” he said.

Or it came from the clandestine biolabs in the Ukraine. We've already seen documents saying those labs were working on Wuhan Charlie.

Edit: Yesterday we saw evidence that the BioLabs were also working with anthrax. They weren't trying find a way to deactivate anthrax or make it less lethal---they were enhancing its strength probably using Fauci's Gain of Function funding.

In the Mafia, you do what you are told (kill someone) or you're killed.

I ain't saying why would Rocco comply, I'm saying why would Michael waste his 2nd in command on a suicide mission? Roth was done at that point. He was stripped of money and power. Being at the top himself, he'd of had little value testifying against Michael or anyone else.

Plus, Michael just came out of a public trial where it was revealed that Rocco was his 2nd in command. Having Rocco do the killing not only robbed him of his capo, but also would tie him directly to the murder of an organized crime figure.

From no angle does it make sense. If, for example, Michael believed Rocco was in on the hit against him or believed Rocco just wanted to make the smart move like Tessio in the 1st movie, you don't have him do this publicly, you get rid of him similar to how he did Fredo. He just got out of the national spotlight, only to then shine an even brighter spotlight directly on himself.
