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.

“Case Closed” is one of the stupidest pieces of propaganda ever written, and if you believe that you have serious issues.

It start with presenting PROVABLE lies as facts, then shows how those ‘facts’ prove it was Oswald.

Oliver Stone got so many things right in his film, but missed the ringleader.

Read “The men who killed Kennedy” by Roger Stone (no relation)

It presents a believable account that LBJ was behind it.

Chief Justice Earl Warren, while much too Liberal, was a man with 20+ years of experience as a prosecutor, and unimpeachable integrity. When his own father was murdered, as Alameda County prosecutor he ordered the only suspect released due to insufficient evidence, and the crime was never solved. He was also, as everyone knew at that time, a personal friend of JFK. So when LBJ insisted that Earl Warren lead the investigation he was making a statement: “I know what you are all thinking, but I didn’t do it”. Robert F Kennedy was Attorney General of the USA at the time, and said and did nothing to indicate he thought there was a coverup of his brother’s murder.

I know it is difficult for people to accept that a nobody-loser like Oswald could change the course of history. But just as recently occurred in Japan with the Shinzo Abe assassination, these things unfortunately do happen. The only country immune to such events is Switzerland, with their 7 member executive council.

JFK assassination conspiracy theories have become a profit-making industry that will never die, like belief in aliens at Roswell. There will never be a lack of gullible people who believe such things, but I am not one of them. I go by the evidence.

If you ever want to discuss real conspiracies and coverups, the Clintons had more than one. And of course James Earl Ray likely had help escaping, perhaps from his family which is why he never talked.

if everything happened as it did that day, except there was somebody different in that limousine, anybody but JFK, Oswald would be tried, convicted and sentenced in 2 days and forgotten about....

There will never be any end to the JFK assassination theories, and the ill-mannered zealots who believe in them. Enjoy your fun!

A vast conspiracy to kill a US President requires total silence by all involved, even to their death. It’s just not possible. You can do that with state secrets but not vast numbers of people involved with killing a US President or shooting down a jet airliner.

JFK did threaten to end the CIA. I noticed the article on the mafia forgot to mention that little fact.


CIA & Mob both threatened by Kennedys. Not a good place to be......

The so called prestine magic bullet did not go through any bone of a human body.

Then you KNOW (>99.75%) that a conspiracy killed JFK.

Because the pristine bullet BS was covered up by Hoover and his corrpt FIB, you know that LBJ was involved. Hoover and his crossdressing would have been dancing for LBJ but Lyndon liked women, lots of women.

And LBJ put manure like Gerald Ford on the WC to rubber stamp the murder.

And people today are just now figuring out there is a deep state.

There is a very simple reason why every President does not want to release the full JFK assassination files.

They are truly national security—because they reveal the operational methods of the CIA and other intelligence agencies who were involved in the assassination.

Those methods (imho) are still in use today—both in foreign and domestic operations.

They include the utilization of mass media by intelligence agencies, the use of “doubles” to create patsies, the creation of cover stories of various kinds, forgery, witness tampering etc etc etc etc.


Bingo. If you ever watched Homeland , a lot was revealed as to how the agency works, including no loyalty to anyone as they view themselves as superiors to any person or office

The Clintons convinced me that successful conspiracies and coverups are possible, and actually happen. JFK’s murder just wasn’t one of them.

Oswald was such a good marksman that he bounced a round off of the grassy knol fence to impact JFK in the front of his head. Yeah, lone gunman ... and magic bullets!

If that were true, we never would have learned about what they did.

The mob and CIA/OSS were allies going back to Operation Husky/Sicily invasion.

“ There’s nothing in the remaining tiny amount of files that is going to change what we know about the crime. ”

That comment right there exposes you. You don’t have personal knowledge of what is actually in them because you haven’t seen them. Yet you try to claim there is nothing in something you aren’t personally familiar with. I call BS

Pure conjecture! First of all if it wasn’t JFK Ruby would not have killed Oswald, who would then have been afforded his right to legal counsel, and probably have been found innocent. But here’s the bottom line: To this very day Mr. Oswald is legally innocent for the obvious reason that he has never been tried and found guilty in any court of law on the planet!

Oswald was declared guilty by the Warren Commission which included the former Director of the CIA (prime suspect in the conspiracy) and the current Director of the FBI (prime suspect in the conspiracy).

What could possibly have gone wrong?

I believe The Select Committee on Assassinations also went by the evidence. Are you assuming that they too were gullible?

Findings of the Select Committee on Assassinations in the Assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Tex., November 22, 1963

Scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy. Other scientific evidence does not preclude the possibility of two gunmen firing at the President.

The committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. The committee is unable to identify the other gunman or the extent of the conspiracy.

As I believe was discussed in Bugliosi’s book, the select committee made a technical error and mistook a motorcycle backfire on an audio tape for gunfire. The Warren commission also made a serious technical error in reenacting the assassination. But the bottom line remains, Oswald was the lone assassin, which was clearly revealed by the evidence and his own actions.

Vincent Bugliosi’s book on the JFK murder is 1632 pages. If you have the time, take a month off and read it. LOL

Now the death of Ron Brown is an entirely different matter... https://www.whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/CRASH/BROWN/bullet.html

I’ve read it, but I don’t believe he revealed anything substantive that hadn’t already been argued ad nauseam.
Overrated in my view.

Upon confirmation of his brother’s death, Bobby Kennedy confided to his aide, Edwin Guthman, who recounted it in his book ‘We Band of Brothers’: “I thought they would get one of us,” Bobby said, adding, “I thought it would be me.”
