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.

Now, at long last, we may be coming close to the truth. Filmmaker Nicholas Celozzi — the great-nephew of Sam Giancana — says his Great Uncle Pepe and other members of his family have finally confided to him exactly how the Mafia killed JFK — and just as importantly — allowed him to reveal it.
He is working with the Pulitzer Prize-winning screenwriter and director David Mamet to produce a new — and what they believe could be definitive — version of the final 48 hours of President Kennedy’s life.
‘The story I got from Pepe was the underbelly of what happened on those two days, from a man who was a fly on the wall listening to how this was coming together,’ Celozzi told the Mail this week. ‘Sam had a very tight circle of who he trusted.’ His brother, with whom he was very close, was one of them.
David Mamet, whose writing credits include Glengarry Glen Ross, The Untouchables and The Postman Always Rings Twice, says Celozzi’s script has revived his own scepticism about the official version of JFK’s death. The film, which Mamet will direct, is provisionally titled 2 Days/1963.
‘It’s a helluva script,’ Mamet told the Hollywood website Deadline. ‘Really inside stuff, similar to what Francis Coppola did with Mario Puzo in The Godfather.’
The 1964 Warren Commission into the killing decided that Oswald had acted alone, but 15 years later, the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations — set up to investigate the deaths of JFK and Martin Luther King — concluded that Kennedy was ‘probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy’.
Oliver Stone’s 1991 film ‘JFK’ wove an elaborate web of conspiracy around the shooting, including the Mob, CIA, Army generals, FBI agents, Dallas police, Cuban dissidents, New Orleans gays and paedophile ex-priests.
But while it’s hard to actually imagine any part of the U.S. establishment — even the spooks — executing a President, the Mafia sounds entirely feasible.
Even more so, given that Jack Ruby, the nightclub owner who surprisingly shot dead Oswald just two days after the assassination, had myriad connections to Organised Crime.
The Warren Commission accepted Ruby’s claims that he acted impulsively, shooting Oswald outside Dallas police headquarters out of ‘insane’ grief over JFK’s killing.
According to Nicholas Celozzi, Ruby was one of three members of a crucial triangle in the Mafia’s JFK operation that also included two Sam Giancana stooges and assassins — Johnny ‘Handsome John’ Roselli and Charles ‘Chucky The Typewriter’ Nicoletti.
The suave, polished and perma-tanned Roselli was the Mob’s man out West, helping the Chicago Mafia (known as The Outfit) operate in Las Vegas and Hollywood. He was friends with Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe and had even ventured into film producing.
In the early 1960s, he had been recruited by the CIA in a plot — authorised by JFK — to assassinate Cuba’s communist leader Fidel Castro with poisoned pills.
According to Pepe, Roselli had become a ‘highly-proficient’ marksman while helping to organise the training of anti-Castro mercenaries at a secret camp in the Florida Everglades.
Both Giancana and Roselli had been deeply involved in running Mob-controlled casinos in Cuba, and were furious when Castro took over and closed them down.
The mob was definitely involved, but they had no way to manage a mass media coverup after the fact—just not possible.
You need a Mockingbird Mass Media for that.
That means CIA.
need the SS and navy to fake the autopsy
Very good point.
Don’t double cross the Mob. Nobody is too big to get whacked.
Maybe this when Cronkite first made his bones as a mouthpiece for the international Marxists.
There was a show on the internet that had a mafia guy on it, the real guy who put that guys head in a vice seen in Casino.
Kinda wish I asked him what his take on it was. I wonder if the mob guys talk about it, have an idea. Being years ago I wonder would the spill the beans or is it still to be kept under wraps?
Or was it just the lone gunman after all?
These days the Italian (American) doesn’t have much influence between being small time dope peddlers and running small time neighborhood rackets. The Mexican drug cartels on the other hand, essentially have their own country, billions upon billions of dollars and a combined army of hundreds of thousands willing to kill for them. They’re also far more brutal than the Italians ever dreamed of being. Again, I’m referring to La Cosa Nostra, not the Italy based mob.
We border a failed narco state that has hemorrhaged 25 million of its population in the last 25 years and now serves as a gateway for tens of millions of third world central and South American Indians to poor across our border. The greatest human trafficking scheme in history, perhaps.
It was Oswald acting alone. The two best books are Gerald Posner’s “Case Closed” and Vincent Bugliosi’s “Reclaiming History”.
Yep. The mob helped JFK get elected, then he turned around and stabbed them in the back by getting Bobby to go after them. That signed JFKs death warrant. And have you ever seen that video of Bobby questioning Sam Giancana and he calls Giancana a little girl? Right there Bobby signed his. The thing about the Kennedys is they were never very bright people which is why so many of them are dead.
The Parade route and the
Cover-Up are just 2
of the things the mob needed to Control.
I wonder when and where this movie will be shown. I didn’t find it in the article.
“But while it’s hard to actually imagine any part of the U.S. establishment — even the spooks — executing a President”
No, not hard to imagine at all.
I think the Deep State, Lindon Johnson, the mob (Cuban, New Orleans and Giancana) and others were all involved, I do not think they could have pulled it off without all being involved.
I recently watched some of a fawning video about Jackie’s heroic behavior during the aftermath of the assassination. It was pointed out that she would not allow JFK to be autopsied by anyone other than the Navy. The Dallas medical examiner even blocked the door to keep people away from the body, so that the chain of evidence wouldn’t be broken, but the feds won that skirmish. There was no legal reason for anyone other than the Dallas ME to do the autopsy. Before ME Rose died, he said that a lot of the conspiracy theories wouldn’t have happened if they’d just followed protocol.
still in pre-producton.
I agree with you and support your comment 😎
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.

If all of these people had direct or indirect knowledge of the plot, and I believe they all did, then why didn’t Kennedy himself know he was about to be murdered?
LBJ is particularly easy to imagine as someone willing to do anything to get to the presidency.
