The most convincing account yet of how - and why - the Mob killed JFK: New film by relative of Mafia boss sheds fresh light on the President's assassination nearly 60 years on
Mafia boss Sam Giancana controlled a criminal empire stretching across the US
His great nephew Nicholas Celozzi reveals all in his new film, titled 2 Days/1963 The JFK operation included two assassins Johnny Roselli and Charles Nicoletti
As the most notorious boss of the Chicago Mafia since Al Capone, Sam Giancana controlled a criminal empire stretching across America.
He had an army of thugs to call on — but for two days in November 1963, he asked for help from his little brother, Pepe.
He was only a humble, illegal bookie in the Giancana empire, but Sam needed someone to chauffeur him around while the mobsters who usually did so were out of town.
As Pepe later confided to family, those men had gone to Dallas to do a job for Giancana — one that would become a seminal moment of the 20th century.
From conversations overheard at his brother’s mansion in Oak Park outside Chicago, Pepe worked out that their task was to help Lee Harvey Oswald assassinate John F Kennedy, then ensure that Oswald did not live to talk.
Since then, millions of words have been written about the killing of JFK: claims that the Mafia wanted revenge for his war on organised crime have vied with counter-theories that the president was killed by the CIA, the Pentagon, Fidel Castro, the Soviets and even Vice President Lyndon Johnson.

And then Actually killing him and Not shouting he Killed the Beast !?!

Tell me what was Oswalds
Motive?

Thanks for the link!
Instead of searching for something to watch later, I’m gonna watch this!
APOLOGISTS,
SSsssh.
Thank you.
Thank you.
“Ever get curious as to why Moscow is never in the mix?”
Back in the 1980s, I worked in DC and knew casually several Russians who were “employees” at Tass or Aeroflot. We had many wide ranging conversations about current and past Cold War events. The one topic they would not discuss was the Kennedy assassination.
Long gone? Within probably 5 to 7 seconds. Not likely. And Zapruder would have heard the shots from 20 feet to his right at the level of his feet. For someone who was in the Army I do not think so.
No one can figure out why he took the shot as Kennedy was entering the zone, or heading away. Heading away it was a fairly flat trajectory shot.
Heading Away a Flat Trajectory!?!
.
You don’t know what You’re talking about, FRiend.
Hey, thanks anyway.
I absolutely know what I am talking about. What are your thoughts.
The limo was headed towards the sniper, slowing down to make the Left turn to the
Under pass. At that point
The sniper would be seeing
The Entire Limos occupants
Coming Straight towards him.
Like fish in a Barrel.
Thing about Ruby - by all accounts, everybody who knew him, they said he was absolutely crazy as a loon, AND, he was also the last person in the world to place any sort of trust in to perform anything important.
Agree, but no one knows why he waited. A car driving downhill and moving slightly to the left would not be that difficult, either. Especially at 60 to 70 yards.
LOL. Enjoy your fantasy.
“If you were told by somebody in authority that the usual procedures had to be ignored because of the national emergency, you did it, and in those days you probably didn’t brood over whether it was right or wrong. Killing a president is something else all together.”
For many folks at the time JFK’s presidency was a true “national emergency”. I know LBJ, the Mafia, and J. Edgar Hoover thought it was. I know the Israelis thought it was. I know the Cuban refugees thought it was. I know many folks in the CIA thought it was.
You need to put yourself in the shoes of those people at that time. Context is critical in understanding history.
Oswald was a Communist and thought Kennedy represented a threat to Cuba and to the Communist bloc and to his vision of the future. Or if you want to be psychological and look at subconscious motivations, Oswald thought he was a nobody. His life hadn’t gone where he wanted it to. His marriage was falling apart. He thought killing Kennedy would make him somebody — would make him a hero, or at least a name in the history books.
CG,
Why is it these JFK threads Always go sideways?
.
Life goes on FRiend,
Cheers!
It was Oswald acting alone. The two best books are Gerald Posner’s “Case Closed” and Vincent Bugliosi’s “Reclaiming History”.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
Yeah, right. The Warren Commission did a wonderful job of nailing Oswald as the lone gunman! Are you serious? Nobody with an IQ above double digits believes the Report issued by that crew of jackasses!
The thing about the Kennedys is they were never very bright people which is why so many of them are dead.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well and truly said! And neither were the sycophants who idolized and voted for them!
