JFK Assassination a Mafia Conspiracy
Gang Warfare in the Streets of Dallas
Remember the gun fight at the OK Corral, the St. Valentines
Day Massacre, the Kansas City Massacre, and November 22, 1963 -
the murder of John F. Kennedy on the streets of Dallas? Now, imagine
if you can that there are three political parties in the United
States: the Democrats, the Republicans, and a third - the invisible
special interest party. The third party does not care who wins
the national elections; they donate to both political parties.
They operate under one simple agenda - to create pathways into
our government’s inner citadel for information and to leverage
profitable government contracts. Now, divide the third party into
two competing groups: the Irish members and the Italian members.
Within each group, they carry disputes and grudges, which have
been smoldering for years. But the conflict in the third party
is deadly serious as revealed by the number of killings in our
past history. Consider this third invisible special interest party
while reading the story of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
His assassination was the culmination of a much more sophisticated
and subtle gang struggle between the Irish Mafia and the Italian
Mafia.
A million people or more pass through the Sixth Floor Museum
in Dallas each year and leave not knowing what happened or why.
- As Paul Harvey would say if he were here, “And now for the rest
of the story.” The Dallas County Assassination Review Board was
formed in November of 2003 as a result of a flood of information
surfacing in Dallas that needed to be organized and made public.
This mission brought to our table a group of dedicated Dallas County
citizens, who began to distill and scrutinize the witnesses and
their testimony that were previously ignored or censored. The Review
Board has all the advantages of a Saturday morning quarterback.
To date, over two thousand books have been written about the assassination.
Many of them have been read by the board members thus enabling
them to bring the picture of President Kennedy’s assassination
into a more perfect focus. It is important to note that no member
of the Dallas County Assassination Review Board was considered
if that person was on or had been on the pay roll or associated
with the CIA, FBI, local law enforcement, news media, or any bureaucratic
entity with a self-serving interest. Perhaps the most sensational
facts were made public in August of 1992 when Charles Giancana,
brother of Sam Giancana, the Italian Mafia Chieftain who at one
time controlled America, published his book Double Cross. It was
the story of how his brother was set up and double crossed by the
treacherous Joe Kennedy, father of Jack Kennedy, head of the Irish
Mafia
.
Deputy Sheriff Harry Weatherford, the best shot
in the department was assigned to the top of the County
Records building by Sheriff Decker to protect the president. When
Oswald's first shot struck Kennedy, Officer Weatherford
saw the pigeons fly from the top of the Texas School
Book Depository building, but he had no target. When
Oswald fired his second shot, Weatherford saw the muzzle
flash from the sixth floor window.
Jacquelyn was scrambling from the limousine
to escape the hail of bullets as Oswald's finger
tightened on the trigger for the third shot, which
was intended for her. Just a micro-second before
Oswald fired, Weatherford's bullet passed in front
of Oswald causing Oswald's third shot to go high
over Jacquelyn hitting the curb on the south side of
Elm Street.
James Tague, who was watching the motorcade from the
south side of Elm Street across from the School Book
Depository building, felt the sting of debris hitting
his face as he heard Oswald’s bullet hit the curb close
to him and ricochet into the steel girders of the triple
underpass above Elm Street. Dean Morgan of Lewisville,
Texas would later report an empty 30.06 caliber shell
casing found by his maintenance crew while working on
the roof of the County Records building. When discussing
Officer Weatherford’s life saving shot, the Dallas County
Assassination Review Board agrees that Oswald’s third
shot was intended for Jacqueline Kennedy. The Dallas
County Assassination Review Board recommends and hopes
that Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Harry Weatherford will
be recognized and honored for saving the life of Jacqueline
Kennedy.
Harry Weatherford
Dallas County Deputy Sheriff
- November 22, 1963
- Marie Weatherford.
Four shots from Dealy Plaza:
THREE from the sixth floor window of the School Book Depository
building and ONE from the top of the County Record’s building.
When Weatherford's bullet passed
in front of Oswald he realized his position had been located. He
pulled book cartons over his rifle and went to the front
door of the School Book Depository Building where he waited
for his accomplice stationed behind the picket fence on
the grassy knoll to throw fire crackers toward Elm Street.
When the fire crackers exploded Oswald walked out the front
door to be picked up by a Nash Rambler Station Wagon driven
by three Cuban Freedom Fighters.
In a written report by Deputy Sheriff Rodger
Craig to Sheriff Decker, he describes a Nash Rambler
Station Wagon that stopped in front of the Depository
Building and picked up Oswald. The man picked
up was not Oswald it turned out to be Manuel Rivera,
a Cuban Freedom Fighter. He
was an Oswald look a like. (The Rambler Station
Wagon is impounded.)
Oswald had already left the Depository Building when
fire crackers were thrown toward Elm Street at the
limousine carrying Vice President Johnson as it passed
the grassy knoll.
Oswald was to have been picked up by the Nash
Rambler and whisked
seven miles right out Central Expressway to the Highland
Park Airport where a Twin Apache Piper airplane with
a flight plan filed for Havana Cuba waited. The
pilot, David Ferrie with one passenger, Lee Harvey
Oswald.
After leaving the Texas School Book Depository building,
Oswald walked east on Elm Street looking for the Nash
Rambler Station Wagon driven by the three Cuban Freedom
fighters, but he had missed his ride.
Oswald proceeded with a plan B which was to get to
a safe house in Oak Cliff. Oswald caught a cab
to his rooming house on Beckley, changed clothes, and
shoved a snub nosed .38 revolver into his pocket. He
left his rooming house on foot walking to Jack Ruby's
apartment house, the designated safe hose only a few
blocks away.
Before he reached Ruby's apartment house he was
intercepted by Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippet at
Patton and Tenth Street. Lee Harvey Oswald shot
and killed Officer Tippet. There were seven eye
witnesses.
He was shortly captured at the Texas Theater.
It was around 10:00 a.m. on the morning
of the shooting. Ruby tapped on their window, smiled,
and waved to them as they enjoyed a leisurely Sunday
breakfast. Eva Smith rose from the table, went outside,
and called to Ruby, “Jack, your rent is due.” Ruby
nodded his head, took out a roll of cash from his
pocket, and paid her. Mrs. Smith asked Jack
if he wanted a receipt. Ruby explained that he was
in a hurry for an appointment downtown and instructed
her to just leave the receipt attached to his apartment
door. With a smile on his face, Jack Ruby told her,
“Now be sure to watch TV,” and he left.
At around 11:20 a.m. that same morning, the Smith
family watched in horror as they saw Jack Ruby shoot
Lee Harvey Oswald in the basement of the Dallas police
station on television.
Jack Ruby had managed to gain entrance into
the basement from the Main Street ramp. He blended
himself into the swirling wall of newsmen where
he waited in ambush for Oswald to pass.
Oswald was only a few feet away when Ruby
lunged toward him with a .38-caliber snub nosed
revolver in his hand.
He shoved his gun into Oswald’s stomach
and squeezed the trigger. Officer Jim Leavelle
tried to wrestle Oswald out of the way, but failed.
A muffled report followed and Oswald moaned in
pain as Leavelle eased him to the basement floor.
Someone shouted, “Jack, you son-of-a-bitch!”
Then another person shouted, “Oswald has been shot!”
Detective Graves grabbed Ruby and wrestled him
to the ground.
Still intending to put more bullets into
Oswald, Ruby attempted to pull the trigger again.
Graves wrenched the pistol from Ruby’s hand as
he shouted, “Turn it loose, Jack! Turn it
loose!” Once restrained, Jack Ruby was immediately
hustled to Captain Fritz’s office. His one
shot had been remarkably efficient.
Before they left the apartment building, Eva told
the assistant manager, Alice Frazier, that she
was going to be left in charge for a while. Eva
advised Alice not to say anything about Jack Ruby
or that she even knew him if she was questioned
by the media.
Alice Frazier, the assistant apartment house
manager, didn’t heed Eva Smith’s warning and told
the reporters everything she knew about Jack Ruby.
The next day she was found behind her apartment
and her throat had been cut.
Time Magazine reported
that federal agents classified twenty known gangland
slayings as ‘an open challenge of the Mafia infiltration
into governmental activities.’ One FBI
source was quoted as saying, “We seem to be facing
the revival of ‘Murder, Inc’.” Six top
FBI officials died before they could testify
before the House Select Committee on Assassinations. William
C. Sullivan, Louis Nichols, and Alan H. Belmont
were special assistants to J. Edgar Hoover and
liaisons to the Warren Commission. James
Cadigan was a document expert with access to
many classified assassination documents, while
J. M. English headed the FBI laboratory where
Oswald's rifle and pistol were tested. Donald
Kaylor was the fingerprint expert in charge of
the fingerprints at the assassination scene.
Conclusion
The unanimous conclusion of the Dallas
County Assassination Review Board is that the murder
of JFK was the culmination of a long, bitter, and
blood-spattered vendetta between the Irish Mafia
and Italian Mafia. The Irish were here first
as portrayed in Hebert Asbury’s book The Gangs of
New York. The Italian gangs took a subordinate
second place and begrudgingly held a low profile
until the 5th of October in 1850 when they murdered
the Irish Chief of Police in New Orleans. After
the jails were filled with Mafia members, an Irish
vigilante mob broke into the jail and shot the screaming
Italians in their jail cells. And the vendetta
raged on. Six generations later, an unscrupulous,
crafty and treacherous Irish business man by the
name of Joe Kennedy sat at the head of the Irish
Mafia’s table. Kennedy realized the power of
politics and his goal was to have a son who would
serve as president in order to use all the power
of this office to once and for all destroy the Italian
Mafia.
In the month of November in 1959, Joe Kennedy
solicited the assistance of Sam Giancana, head of
the Italian Mafia. He needed Giancana to help
get his son Jack elected President. In return,
Joe promised Giancana that, once elected, Jack would
have the FBI look the other way when it came to the
Teamsters, Las Vegas, and narcotics. Not long
after Kennedy was elected, Sam Giancana realized
he had been double crossed -- his Mafia Empire was
being destroyed by Bobby Kennedy. Giancana
committed every means at his disposal to destroy
the Kennedys. The caldron of hatred boiled
over once again with the tragic death of our young
president.
