I could be wrong, but I seem to recall reading in 'Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ Unmasked' that the Irish independence movement was orchestrated by the masons, who, of course, are the natural and supernatural enemies of the Irish (at least, of the faithful Catholic Irish). It would make sense that they're also controlling the Italian / Sicilian organized criminals . Of course, with so many layers of authority between the most powerful people in the world, and the Joe Shmoes who go to these meetings, etc., there would be no direct connection.
