I would suggest the most logical way to examine the question of how Whitey learned Stevie Flemmi was an FBI informant is to look at it from the point of view of the FBI and more particularly the Rico/Condon team who were handling Stevie and John Connolly, who would become his handler. First a few…

This is all about Whitey. These will be the posts that relate specifically to him.
§27: Re-Examining Whitey Bulger: The Learning Years: The Issue No One Has Adequately Explained.
It did seem that Whitey and Stevie came together quite quickly for two guys who did not know each other before they met in May 1974. The first outside sighting of them being together that I know of comes from Kevin Weeks. He said he was a bouncer during the summer of 1974 at Flix’s…
§25: Re-Examining Whitey Bulger: The Learning Years: Clearing The Decks For Stevie Flemmi’s Arrival Home
The remarkable thing about some of the books written about Whitey is how little attention is paid to critical things.

Fights and killings don’t occur because the FBI is telling street-wise people certain things are happening. They are everyday occurrences. Here are two or three of the many things I’ve gotten…
§22: Re-Examining Whitey Bulger: The Learning Years: A Reflection At The End Of The Pre-Flemmi Time
The end of the Pre-Flemmi Years is a good time to stop to reflect upon a shockingly erroneous belief that has come to the fore in these matters. I pause now because I suggest I’ve just clearly shown that Murderman John Martorano has played, to put it mildly, very loosely with the truth. I pointed…
