Journalist’s tell-all on mobster tied to JFK might have gotten her killed
http://nypost.com ^ | 12/04/2016 | Susan Edelman

On the night before her shocking death, Dorothy Kilgallen, a star panelist on the hit TV game show “What’s My Line?” correctly guessed the occupation of a mystery guest: a woman who sold dynamite.

The glamorous, razor-sharp Kilgallen delighted viewers, but behind the scenes, the dogged and courageous reporter was hot on the trail of the biggest story of her life: the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

The morning after that show, on Nov. 8, 1965, the 52-year-old newspaper columnist hailed by The Post as “the most powerful female voice in America” was dead in her Manhattan town house. Her body was found sitting up in a bed, naked under a blue bathrobe, with the makeup, false eyelashes and a floral hair accessory she had worn on TV still on.

After an autopsy, the city’s chief medical examiner, James Luke, put on Kilgallen’s death certificate: “Acute Ethanol and Barbiturate Intoxication, Circumstances Undetermined.” Luke ruled her death accidental, caused by a combination of sleeping pills and booze.

I’ll go with the evidence. I have seen no compelling evidence to convince me Oswald was not acting alone.

When JFK found out his father used the Chicago mob to help him win the Presidency, he was pissed. That’s why he and Robert hit the mob with RICO actions and whatnot.
His breaking of the mob in the 1960’s is why the mob killed him.

There are many factors when deciding who committed a crime. One is who was the shooter(s). Knowing who the shooter was is one thing and I give that about 72.5% on Oswald, knowing if he was acting alone including someone handling him is another. Joesph Bonanno said it was the mafia and there were three shooters in the plaza.

The motivation element is the most cluttered. I like LBJ just because he is the strongest most obvious answer to the question. “Who benefited?” Always a basic question when detectives do there work.

The mafia certainly had motivation and ability to pull it off. If I was castro, I would have paid someone to do it after the Bay of Pigs and finding out the Kennedys were trying to kill me.

Lack of evidence is not proof that something did or didn’t happen a particular way. Oswald said he was a patsy. Is that evidence?

The mafia and LBJ were not stupid. They got away with hundreds of crimes. Easy suspects.

The Mob being involved in the Kennedy murder is an open and shut case - yes they were. The damming proof however is rarely discussed - but it happens two days after the murder.

Jack Ruby was the most loyal, ass-kissing, mob wannabe that ever existed. He was willing to do anything to gain favor in the eyes of his bosses. There is one (1) and only one reason Ruby kills Oswald - because a mob higher up told him to.

There was some horse manure nonsense put out about him being so concerned about Jacki Kennedy. What utter crap. This is a guy who did nothing his whole life but exploit women. When one of his strippers turned up pregnant, he took her for an abortion, then made her work that night, and deducted the cost of the abortion from her pay. Yea, he had great concern about women's feelings.

The only way he kills Oswald is if he is told to by his higher ups. And the only way his higher ups waste a perfectly obedient ass-kisser like Ruby is if there is something Oswald could tell the police that they REALLY don't want out.

JFK & RFK didn’t break the mob in the ‘60’s and there’s no compelling evidence to convince me that the mob killed JKF.

The mob WAS severely crippled under Reagan’s administration in the 80’s when undercover agent Joe Pistone and others testified against the mob which lead to arrests of major crime family personnel.

Isn’t her death similar to Marilyn Monroe’s?

It certainly does in a court of law which we should be mimicking here if we want to have a solid argument.

Conjecture about tying in peripheral events are fine, but I look for clear and convincing evidence or evidence BRD for a crime.

I remember that! I also remember that ANYONE who investigated the JFK shooting suddenly died.

Wasn’t Ruby terminally ill at the time, too?

Not that he knew - and even his ‘terminal illness’ has some questions about it.

While in prison he told one reporter he would have a story to tell when the time was right. He seemed to die before the time was right. Kind of convenient as well.

That was my first thought too. From my readings, RFK had her taken out because of loose, unguarded, "pillow talk", and she was a psychiatric mess, aka dangerously "unreliable" to keep her mouth shut.

Everyone is overlooking the meme that JFK was killed because he was going to cutthe FEd out of the funding biz.
(http://www.hermes-press.com/frs1.htm)

Look up E/O 11110 - it is real and signed by JFK to issue 4 Billion in “US Notes” via the Treasury and not from the Fed. I also changed the backing for 1 & 2 dollar bills from silver to gold.

This - according to the meme - pi$$ed off the bankers, thus JFK had to go....

Or not.

James Files says he took the shot from the grassy knoll. He was connected to Sam Giancana and the Chicago mob. At least one retired FBI man believed him.

Jack Ruby grew up as Jack Rubenstein in Chicago. One of his boyhood friends was Johnny Roselie. Roselli was the Don of Los Angeles. When Oswald fled from the Texas Book Depository he ran to a movie house. The plan for Dallas PD was to take out Oswald, but he ran. In the movie theatre when Oswald saw the cops running in with guns drawn, he stood up raised his hands and gave up. The cops couldnt shoot him down in front of witnesses. Plan was Oswald had to go; dead men dont talk. Roselli contacts Ruby and Oswald dies. All planned. Oswald told the truth when he told the reporter he didnt kill anyone, he was a patsy and was set up.

They almost whacked JFK in Tampa several weeks before but the hit was called off on scene minutes before the shooting started. Giancana (Chicago) Trafficante (Tampa) and Marcellos(New Orleans) all wanted JFK dead.

Not a good bunch to have after you. Not at all.

More of this crap. Get lost.

Oswald did it. Alone. Case closed.

======================================================

It has been PROVEN that a conspiracy killed President Kennedy. The case is NOT closed.

Get out your Calculator.

There are TWO times in the Zapruder film that we can clearly see reactions to shots. Almost all "experts" believe one of the those shots was fired about Zapruder frame 224. The second time we can definitely say we see a shot is at frame 313, the shot that hit President Kennedy in the head.

The Zapruder film speed was measured at 18.3 frames per second by filming a clock and then counting the number of frames per second.

The time between Zframe 224 and Zframe 313 is:

TIME(313-224)= (313 - 224)/18.3 = 4.8 seconds

Another way to determine the time between shots was found by the HSCA in 1978. The results are in the figure:

A cursory inspection of the figure shows the time between shots #3 and #4 in the audio recording analysis is the same as the time between shots at Zapruder frames 224 to 313.

A numerical match of 4.8 seconds between two of the shots might just be coincidence but this FACT is just a start in proving that the US government lied and forged evidence to hide the truth. This is just a START, not an end. When you match the other 3 shots to events in the Zapruder film you are left with a unique shooting sequence where all of the wounds can be explained.

This video shows that match with three of the shots.

Proving a Conspiracy Killed President Kennedy Starts Here

One of the other facts that comes out of this analysis is that shot #4, the one the HSCA statistical analysis showed with a 95% probability (or better) was fired from the grassy knoll, was the one that hit President Kennedy in the head.

I am quite sure you will NOT be convinced by what I wrote here. In fact, even if you do read it, you probably will NOT understand it. And if you do have high school level math comprehension, you probably won't believe the result either.

On the other hand, this is NOT easy to believe even if you are well educated. Americans have been brain washed into believing this "mystery" will never be solved. Fact is, it's never been a mystery, it has always been a lie.

Another fact useful in understanding the Kennedy assassinations is that if you can fool the presstitutes, you own Americans. That is the same lesson, by the way, that we learned from the DNC/Podesta/Clinton emails.

Americans have been taught to be snug in their ignorance and acceptance of lies, it will take a while for this lie to die. And after that, there are a few more lies to be addressed before American History can be set straight. Bugliosi's RECLAIMING HISTORY claimed to do that but look at his "boat anchor" like work: You will never see anywhere in his "book" the time match that I showed you here. NOR in Possner's CASE CLOSED. NOR in the Warren Report, or the HSCA report, NOT in any television documentary or any of the thousands of books that have been written on the subject.

How could something as significant as 4.8 seconds be hidden from Americans for decades? It's easy because Americans sit back and let others tell them what to think.

A friend of mine was a conspiracy believer, until he visted the School Book Repository on a trip to Dallas. He came back saying “Oswald did it, he did it all himself. It was an easy shot.”

Sympathy For The Devil by Rolling Stones: ... Who killed the Kennedys? When after all, It was you and me.... The Stones had it right, if you define ‘you and me’ as us-> our very own governmental alphabet agencies.

The preponderant consensus of JFK assassination researchers is that Oswald probably did not assassinate JFK; that he was likely the victim of a frame-up; evidence purporting to indicate he was the assassin is untrustworthy or misleading - manufactured, planted, or arranged so as to falsely inculpate an innocent man who was suspiciously murdered within hours of his arrest.
