Guiseppi Mazzini was the individual that Albert Pike corresponded with in his letters on Three World Wars that would unite the world under a Luciferian Dictatorship. Like Pike, Mazzini was Illuminati and held the rank of 33 degree Mason. He is also the founder of the MAFIA, which is named after him. (Source) Law Enforcement has known about the relationship between Freemasonry, and La Cosa Nostra ("Our Thing") for quite some time.

"The committee feels that the link between Cosa Nostra and institutions is mostly through the "Massoneria" (freemasonry):

The fundamental terrain on which the link between Cosa Nostra with public officials and private professions was created and reinforced is the Massoneria. The Massoneria bond serves to keep the relationship continuous and organic. The admission of members of Cosa Nostra, even at high levels, in Massoneria is not an occassional or episodical one, but a strategic choice. The oath of allegence to Cosa Nostra remains the pivot point around which "uomini d'onore" (men of honor) are prominently held. But the Massoneria associations offer the mafia a formidible instrument to extend their own power, to obtain favors and privileges in every field: both for the conclusion of big business and "fixing trials", as many collaborators with justice have revealed." (Ibid)

Mazzini was born in France and his father was a "Jacobin" (Freemason-Illuminati group that caused the French Revolution). Like his father, who was also a University Professor, Mazzini gravitated towards Secret Societies.

In 1830 Mazzini travelled to Tuscany, where he became a member of the Carbonari, a secret association with political purposes. On October 31st of that year he was arrested at Genoa and interned at Savona. During his imprisonment he devised the outlines of a new patriotic movement aiming to replace the unsuccessful Carbonari. Although freed in the early 1831, he chose exile instead of life confined into the small hamlet which was requested of him by the police, moving to Geneva in Switzerland.(Source)

Even more interesting is Mazzini's desire to create a "United States of Europe" a century before the European Union came into existence. (Ibid.) Globalism is Illuminism and Mazzini was loyal to both. Now, back to the MAFIA:

"Giuseppe Mazzini, a Thirty-Third Degree Mason, founded a group of revolutionaries called Young Italy. Their goal was to free Italy from the control of monarchy and the Pope. They succeeded, and Mazzini is honored as a patriot in Italy. However, in the process, the Mafia was born. The Young Italy revolutionaries needed money, and they:

    "...supported themselves by robbing banks, looting or burning businesses if protection money was not paid, and kidnapping for ransom. Throughout Italy the word spread that "Mazzini autorizza furti, incendi e attentati," meaning, 'Mazzini authorizes theft, arson, and kidnapping.' This phrase was shortened to the acronym, M.A.F.I.A. Organized crime was born." (John Daniel, "Scarlet and the Beast," Vol. I., pages 330-331) (Source)

Mazzini was also the founder of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Italy. (Source) We need to realize that the Scottish Rite is the Illuminati branch of Freemasonry. It was founded by Illuminists Albert Pike and Mazzini. The Scottish Rite has 33 degrees. Most individuals only advance through the first three levels and are ignorant of the true goals of the Scottish Rite, and the Luciferians that govern at the top.

So, the MAFIA is just another tool of the Illuminati, and actually works with them in the achievement of the Luciferian Agenda.

"Cosa Nostra's political strategy is the following:

The occupation and ruling of the territory in competition with legitimate authorities, it possesses immense financial resources, has a well armed secret army, has a program for unlimited expansion, all of these characteristics make it an organization that operates according to the logic of power and convenience, without rules except those that they develop and uphold. Cosa Nostra's political strategy isn't modified by others, it is imposed on others by means of corruption and violence. (10)

According to the report approved by large majority, mafia and politics have a relationship of "cohabitation" that has favored tentatives to infiltrate government organs, magistrate, police and local authorities. Some tentatives have been successful, with disasterous consequences for the legitimacy and credibility of the actions taken by public authorities."

These actions include assassinations, blackmail, intimidation, bribery, and other methods to keep people in authority out of the MAFIA's business. "Order Out of Chaos" under the mantra of "The End Justifies the Means." http://www.moneyteachers.org/Mazzini+Mafia+Freemasonry.html
