Mayor Rob Ford’s friend Alexander Lisi threatened people in the Dixon Rd. community that they would all be killed if the crack video was not turned over, according to new documents ordered released by a judge.

“You’re f---ing dead and everyone on your block is dead,” Lisi tells people in the community, according to conversations caught on wiretap the May 17 morning that news broke about the existence of the video of Ford smoking crack cocaine and making racially charged and homophobic comments.

The comments were made during a call between two people, Liban Siyad and Warsan Hussein. According to the men, and others caught on the wiretap during the day, Lisi made a series of threats beginning immediately after news of the video surfaced.

“If that video gets released I’m gonna, I’m gonna run through all your houses, me and all the, all the Toronto police,” according to a conversation on an intercepted call.

Last May, Toronto police were intercepting telephone calls to numbers owned by suspected members of a guns and drugs gang being investigated by the Project Traveller squad.

Lisi is captured in a call (he was speaking to Siyad, whose phone was tapped) warning that “heat” would be brought on the community until the phone containing the crack video was returned.

“Tell all his boys that it’s going to get worse and worse. All summer until that phone gets back and that the whole place is going to get lit up,” Lisi says in a nighttime call on May 18.

In calls between targets of Project Traveller, it is clear that people were very concerned about the threats.

There is a great deal of discussion of increased police presence and a fear that police are about to raid the community because of the crack video story.

“Rob Ford is going mad,” according to one of the calls.

As the hours unfold, numerous Dixon Rd. community people make calls to discuss what they believe to be a desperate situation.

One man warns Mohamed Siad, the man who made the video and was trying to sell it to the Star and Gawker.

“Be careful of (Mayor Rob Ford) because he knows a few dirty cops and other people,” according to an intercepted call.

Absolute terror of retribution gripped the Dixon Rd. community after news of the Rob Ford crack video came out, according to allegations contained in the search warrant documents related to the investigation of Ford and others.

Threats that police and Ford’s people would tear through the north Etobicoke neighbourhood looking for the video and disrupting their drug business was much on the mind of Ford friend Elena Basso (her house is where the video was filmed) and numerous other people involved in gang activity.

“He’s the f---ing mayor of Toronto,” Basso says in one wiretapped call, also part of the documents released by a Toronto judge Thursday.

“We’re going to feel the heat everywhere ... not just in f---ing Dixon Park, we’re going to feel it, people at Weston Rd.’s going to feel it, people on Jane St. gonna feel it, everywhere,” Basso, 51, says in a conversation recorded three days after the Star and Gawker broke news of the video’s existence.

The whole place is going to be “lit up,” another person, a man, says in a wiretapped conversation.

While Basso, whose house has been referred to as the neighbourhood “crack house” and gang members brace themselves, much of their ire is directed toward Siad, the self-styled videographer who decided on Feb. 17, 2013 to capture Ford’s impaired rant on his iPhone 4s.

Siad, Basso tells an associate, was an idiot for deciding to capture Ford on film while they were both at her Windsor Rd. house.

“The f---ing goof did it at my house,” says Basso, then tells Liban Siyad, she now has “Rob’s people and cops coming every day.”

Siad, the man who showed the video to the Star and tried to sell it for $200,000, has effectively ruined the neighbourhood drug business, Basso said.

“He only f---ed your business up, he f---ed my business up, he f---ed everybody, the whole area is going down,” because of Siad, she says.

As to Ford, her younger brother Fabio’s high school chum, Basso says she warned the group of Dixon Rd. drug dealers about Ford.

“I told you guys from the beginning, he’s a big f---ing idiot,” Basso says.
