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.

Oh, it's conversations some guy claims to have overheard. Well it must be true then.
Oswald didn't get any help. He used his own rifle at his own place of work.
Ruby also got no help. His actions are well documented. They include no outside help, and in fact are impossible to have been planned in advance.
This story is nonsense.
"‘Really inside stuff, similar to what Francis Coppola did with Mario Puzo in The Godfather.’"
Except that Coppola and Puzo had no inside stuff. They didn't know anything about how the Mafia worked.
The route was dictated by where Kennedy needed to go to give his speech.
There was no coverup. The basic facts of the case were known within days, and haven't changed.
Ruby really was crazy. Read his testimony. It's plain nutty.
It wasn't possible for Ruby to plan his actions in advance. He was only in position to do what he did because he got lucky.
I've also heard theories that it was the South Vietnamese (because JFK supported the assassination of Diem in 1963), and the Israelis (because JFK was hindering Israel from obtaining nukes).
Both were convincing cases when explained in detail. It seems one can make a convincing case for anyone killing JFK, by cherry-picking certain facts, and ignoring other facts.
Lol at your posts.
The CIA had folks with sleepless nights working on the logistical nightmare of assassinating a US president and covering it up....
If they thought we had a nation of folks like you they would have realized they were just wasting their time—the public would just believe any story that got fed to them, no matter how absurd.

E. Howard Hunt confessed to coordinating CIA logistic support for the assassination.
I read a theory that Ruby was injected with cancer cells while in prison, to silence him. (No, I don't believe it.)
The Kennedys were more likely to kill Johnson than he was to kill them. Please, JFK was no saint.
especially when only ONE person committed the crime.....some just love conspiracy LA LA land....
Conspiracy theories linking the mob and the JFK hit seem pretty compelling. Another one is “Mafia Kingfish,” about Carlos Marcello, head of the Dixie Mafia in New Orleans. He was humiliated and, though Sicilian, summarily deported to Honduras (or Guatemala)by AG RFK, and harbored a tremendous hatred and desire for vengeance. He believed the best way to neuter Bobby, the tail, was to kill the dog. There are some gaps in the theory, but it’s a compelling read.
“Oliver Stone’s 1991 film ‘JFK’ ...”
Oliver Stone’s sense of “history” is as loopy and sensationalist as he is.
Yes, all of that is true. Many powerful groups had motivation.
We don’t know and may never know the true story.
But I do know that JFK Assassination, Vietnam and the 60’s cultural revolution was one of the major change points in American history. (For the worse).
Also since JFK, only a few Presidents have acted in the best interests of the American People. Reagan, Trump, and maybe Nixon. Look at how they were treated vs the rest.
““Mafia Kingfish,” about Carlos Marcello”
Agreed—excellent book—lots of interesting tidbits can be found there.
Zapruder was not standing on the grassy knoll, but on the concrete wing jutting out into Dealey Plaza right adjacent to the grassy knoll. His secretary was right behind Zapruder kolding onto his jacket to give him some support as Zapruder had vertigo. If anyone shot a rifle from the picket fence behind the grassy knoll, it would have been to Zapruder’s immediate right at about 20 feet away. The top of the fence would (And still is) at the level of your feet if you stand there. Have you stood there? I have many times. You would be looking right down at the shooter. The Zapruder film pans across the top of the knoll and ends with a short glimpse of the fence and what was behind it. Nothing. You can’t convince me that Zapruder, with his Army training, would not be able to see and especially hear a shot if one had been taken from behind the fence. It did not happen.Nix captures Zapruder on his film.
Yes, and yes. You cannot stand at the sniper’s nest as that is closed off by Plexiglas. But, you can stand at the identical window to the right of it and have an almost identical view.
See my reply to plain talk, #93.
My take is that Stone is a lying lefty POS lunatic.
So you took the JAB?
You don’t hit the president or another very big level target with just one shooter - you need more back up. 3 guys firing as the motorcade is exposed
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.
= = = =
Today, that film would include homophobes, transphobes, and white supremacists.
It would exclude LGBGTQ+, BLF, ANTIFA, EPPS.
Ultimately, Climate Deniers did it!
He didn’t hate Jackie. He would regularly expose his genitalia in front of her for laughs. Which she loved too.
