edit, proves I didn't google.
In the pic I posted is Sam
"Mooney" Giancana - Head of one of the most, if not THE most powerful Mafia Families in all of the United States from 1957 thru 1966. This guy was a brutal and unforgiving Boss of Bosses ... in Italian;
Capo dei CapiBorn Salvatore Giangana June 15, 1908 - Later his last name changed to Giancana due to some misspelling.
Sam Giancana was a full blooded Sicialian Heritage.
In 1922; Giancana performed his first
hit at the ripe old age of 14 in the Italian neighborhood of Chicago for local street mobster by the name of Joseph Esposito.
At age 16 after his father beat his mother, Giancana held held a knife to his fathers throat and told him without uncertain terms that
"if he EVER lay a hand on his mother again he would NOT live to see the end of day" ... and made him look at a calendar and told his father to remember this day ... the day that he LET him live.
Sam's father never touched his mother again after that day.
A friend.of mine just took pictures of the area. The grassy knoll is really close to the road, the Texas depository would have been a hello a shot (much less 3) from his pictures. The mob whacked him.
.
This may very well be true. All roads lead to a Mafia/U.S. hit - and subsequent cover up.
If anyone had the means to do the job and leave no trace back to the source ... then a Mafia hit is very likely. And whether the U.S. Government was involved with the MOB, or not ... either way. If The MOB had a beef with the Kennedy's, and they did ... then what are you ganna say, nothing.
The Organization made it IMPOSSIBLE to tie Giancana directly to the hit on Kennedy.
"The Family had a lot of buffers" 
On June 19, 1975 Sam Giancana was assassinated
'hit' in his own home by an unidentified friend. The account is that Sam was shot once in the back of the head as he was frying peppers on the stove. The account states this as Sam, at the time, had serious heart trouble and could not eat spicy foods... so, they speculate that he was cooking peppers for a friend. The
friend performed the hit - after Sam was shot in the back of the head ... the assailant turned Sam over as he lay on the floor and shot him 6 more times in the face and neck.
The Italian MOB in that era was on it's way out due to immense pressure form the U.S. Government - namely John and Robert Kennedy. This story is only the tip of the ice burg. During the 50's and the 60's the Italian MOB from New York NY to Chicago IL, to Miami FL to New Orleans LA - Las Vegas NV to Los Angeles and San Jose CA was in it's hay-day ... but also a time when they were under the microscope more than any other time in history. John and Robert Kennedy paid the price of
'omerta' in a very-very big way.
Have a nice Thanksgiving dinner all my CGN friends ... the wife is just about to set our table now. Hope CGN is back up soon.
Thank you
Kestryll for all you do to keep
CGN and
CGO running ... you are a good person ... God Bless.
