Jewish organized crime timeline

Something that mafia buffs often know about or say comes from the Italian mafia. There was actually a more powerful mafia at that time and still around today that had more power and influence. It took heights when Meyer Lansky ran it. Yes, it’s the Jewish Mafia. I covered a little bit about this mafia and Hoover earlier, but this is one of the largest and a little complex sections of this article. It’s key to understanding the investigation that got lost or is still classified with Homer Echevarria. Sorry for this.

It use to be ran by Salvatore Maranzano, the first boss of all bosses.

Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel played key roles in the violent restructuring of organized crime in New York during the early 1930s, paving the way for Lucky Luciano to rise to power. In 1931, Luciano orchestrated the murders of his boss Joe Masseria and rival Salvatore Maranzano, effectively ending the Castellammarese War. Lansky and Siegel were instrumental in these hits; Siegel was allegedly one of the gunmen who killed Masseria, while Lansky recruited Jewish hitmen for Maranzano's assassination.

These events allowed Luciano to establish himself as the leader of a modernized Mafia. He formed “The Commission,” a governing body for organized crime, with Lansky as a close ally and financial strategist. This marked a shift from the old “Mustache Petes” to a more cooperative and profitable structure for organized crime.

Kennedy researchers besides Ryan, Cory and Piper, really don’t do justice to understand the extent, power and influence Kosher Nostra had.

According to FBI documents and wiretaps, (page 234) JFK had “direct contact” with Meyer Lansky during the 1960 presidential campaign, presumably for the purpose of shoring up mob support for his presidential campaign.

Michael Corbitt, the mobbed-up former chief of police of a Chicago suburb, joined Sam Giancana’s nephew with the same name, and wrote about Hyman Larner being the “real power behind the throne”. Larner was Meyer Lanksy’s close associate and successor after he died. His influence reach all the way to Israel, Panama, Iran, Las Vegas and Wasington D.C..

“All the other Outfit guys were in the papers every day, their pictures plastered all over the front page of the Tribune. But when Hy Larner’s name was mentioned in the papers, he was described only as an ‘associate’ or ‘protégé’ or some gangster and nothing more than that. Nobody knew how deep his contacts went or how high up. Reporters called him a ‘riddle and a mystery man’” (page 31).

“At the insistence of Meyer Lansky, [Giancana] and his pals started working with the Israeli Mossad, smuggling weapons in the Middle East. Everything was coming in and out of Panama, which meant that everything was being handled by Hy Larner. Larner was without a doubt Sam Giancana’s most trusted financial advisor. He had everybody who was anybody in Panama—from bankers to generals—eating out of his hand. Once they started running guns to Israel, Larner also had the U.S. military and its airstrip at his disposal” (pages 108 - 109).

Lansky’s long time business partner and friend who’s “Purple Gang” put a hit on JFK’s father, Moe Dalitz, had a senior HSCA director and staffer, G. Robert Blakey on his payroll as a legal advisor. (page 34) The Wall Street Journal reported in September of 1979 that Dalitz had long been identified by federal authorities as an ongoing senior advisor (page 63) to organized crime. He got the “Tourch of Liberty” award from the ADL.

Hank Messick, the investigative reporter who specialized in Organized Crime coverage, wrote a biography of Meyer Lansky. Messick described how Lansky picked Marcello out of relative obscurity and set up Louisiana’s supposed “Mafia boss” in business. Messick told how Lansky (through his partner and longtime associate Frank Costello) first moved into Louisiana.

“Lansky-Costello associate “Dandy Phil” Kastel was sent in to take charge of the project. However, it was Lansky himself who went to New Orleans to cut the final deal with Long. The two met at the Roosevelt Hotel which was owned by a mutual crony, Seymour Weiss” (Messick, pages 82-83).

“As a front man, Marcello worked out perfectly. In years to come he was touted as the Mafia boss of Louisiana—despite his birth in Tunis—and resisted all efforts to deport or jail him. With all the heat on Marcello, the role of Lansky was almost forgotten—exactly what Meyer wanted. Ultimately, Lansky was able to shift Kastel to Las Vegas and leave Marcello and Weiss to run New Orleans. Meyer Lansky once explained why he left New Orleans to Marcello and others to run. ‘There was just too frigging much to do elsewhere,’ he said.” (Messick, pages 86 through 87).

“Even Marcello’s famous Beverly Club was not, in reality, Marcello’s personal fiefdom. According to Messick, “Costello and Kastel were partners, Marcello had a small piece, but Lansky was the real boss.” (Messick, page 129).

Aaron Cohn, who was director of the New Orleans Crime Commission, lends credence to Messick’s analysis of this relationship. According to Cohn, “The Commission had long been suspicious of the massiveness of Marcello’s holdings—which were much too large to be controlled by a single don—even one as powerful as Marcello.” (Morrow, page 16).

According to Sam and Chuck Giancana, in their biography of Chicago mafia boss, Sam Giancana, “Marcello was a co-conspirator with the CIA in gunrunning operations and a fervent supporter of the anti-Castro exiles. It was an arrangement [Giancana] said more than once, aimed at returning Cuba to its pre-Castro glory—meaning its lucrative casinos and vice rackets.” (Gosch, page 298)

The Senate Committee on Government Operations report to the 88th Congress (1963 and 1964) on “Organized Crime and Illicit Traffic in Narcotics” had pinpointed New Orleans at that time as having been the key distribution point for drugs coming into the United States. Which means Marcello’s central positioning in New Orleans made it such that it was inevitable that the Mafia chieftain would have an inside track to gaining first-hand knowledge about developments at least in New Orleans in the JFK assassination conspiracy.

Ferrie was Marcello’s pilot, and it was Ferrie’s associate, Guy Banister, whose New Orleans private detective agency (a conduit for CIA arms to the anti-Castro Cuban exiles) employed several other Marcello cronies. Banister, who had been with the Office of Naval Intelligence, and was later special-agent-in-charge of the Chicago office of the FBI, had re-located to New Orleans. (page 30) Ferrie and Banister worked with G. Wray Gill, Marcello’s defense attorney, and Ferrie worked with Sergio Arcacha Smith’s anti-Castro groups.

According to the Giancanas, Banister had long been close to the Chicago Mafia and that it was their good offices that brought Banister into Marcello’s sphere of influence when the former FBI man went to New Orleans, initially working for the city police department. (page 255) During the summer of 1963 the Cuban Revolutionary Council, a creation of the CIA’s chief liaison with the anti-Castro Cuban groups, E. Howard Hunt, also maintained offices in the same building as Banister (page 316). We can see that Banister, clearly, was the intermediary between the CIA and the Lansky/Marcello operation in New Orleans. It was through his office that Lee Harvey Oswald, was being set up as the patsy.

Seth Kantor, (page 28) Jack Ruby’s acquaintance and biographer, summarizes it well: “As Attorney General, [Robert F. Kennedy] got more indictments on members of America’s criminal industry than had any previous prosecutor, pursuing them relentlessly. Meyer Lansky, for instance, no longer was safe behind the bolted doors of that industry’s executive suite. The Attorney General put together what was known inside the Justice Department as the OCD (Organized Crime Division) and was stalking Lansky’s secret operations in the Bahamas and Las Veg”. So Robert Kennedy was actually going after the Jewish Mafia, and the Italian one was just a front, or a useful tool for them.

In Kennedy assassination folklore this is also particularly relevant, inasmuch as we have been told repeatedly that Trafficante once told one Jose Aleman, Jr., a wealthy Cuban exile, that JFK was scheduled to be hit. However, interestingly enough, the rest of the story goes untold. According to J. Edgar Hoover biographer Curt Gentry, it was, in fact, Aleman’s impression that although Trafficante may have been aware of assassination plot against Kennedy that Trafficante himself “wasn’t principal architect.” (Gentry, page 496). So who was the main architect than Hoover?

Attorney Frank Ragano claimed that Jimmy Hoffa asked mob bosses Santo Trafficante Jr. and Carlos Marcello to arrange the assassination of JFK. Ragano alleged he delivered Hoffa’s message to Trafficante and Marcello in early 1963, instructing them to kill JFK. Ragano later stated that Trafficante confessed shortly before his death in 1987, expressing regret that they killed JFK instead of Robert Kennedy.

Lansky had the most to lose in Cuba. Many of the guns which helped him to power in 1959 had been provided courtesy of Mafia gunrunners, (pages 266 to 267) a policy which did not pay off. Lansky saw the writing on the wall and flew out of Havana the day Castro marched in.

Investigative reporter Jim Hougan (pages 266 - 267) described the relationship between the Meyer Lansky Organized Crime Syndicate and the Cubans, both Castro and his enemies. “The Mob’s relationship to the arrivista Castro regime was a stormy one. On the one hand, some of its members had been active in the revolution, ferrying guns to Castro’s guerrillas. On the other hand, the new Cuban premier seemed determined to eradicate those social evils that the Mob found most profitable: drugs, prostitution, and gambling. Castro had, moreover, jailed both Trafficante and Meyer Lansky’s brother Jake in the wake of his triumphal march upon Havana.” However, the initial mob support for Castro went sour when Castro proved to be a danger to the Lansky syndicate’s lucrative operations in Cuba. It was at this point, then, that the mob did a turn-around and began working against Castro. Still, Lansky maintained his ties with the anti-Castro Cubans. It was during this period the CIA was preparing to move against Castro. Lansky would play a major role in that effort. many of the anti-Castro Cubans who had settled in Miami and elsewhere following Castro’s rise to power were Cuban Jews.

American CIA-financed anti-Castro propagandist Paul D. Bethel, writing in the December 15, 1965 issue of the Latin America Report (subtitled the “Free Cuba News“) gives us some interesting facts about the status of Jews in Cuba before and after the advent of Castro. Bethel noted that of a total of 11,000 Jews in Cuba at the time of Castro’s takeover, only 1,900 remained at that time. The rest had already joined the anti-Castro Cuban colonies which had largely migrated to the Miami and New Orleans areas. Of those remaining, an additional 1,300 were leaving at the time of Bethel’s report. Free Cuba News, December 15, 1965. CIA operative E. Howard Hunt put together the Revolutionary Democratic Front, a coalition of anti-Castro Cubans, headed by Manuel Antonio de Varona, a former president of the Cuban Senate. In fact, as Summers tells us, de Varona met with Lansky for financial support and also received funds through the Washington, D.C. firm of Edward K. Moss and Associates, which represented the interests of Lansky operatives (page 193) Dino and Eddie Cellini.

Even the legendary Johnny Roselli. Roselli’s biographers (page 189) note that it was CIA contract agent Robert Maheu, a longtime acquaintance of Roselli, who initiated the CIA’s dealings with organized crime in the anti-Castro plots. It was this same Maheu, (page 59) a former FBI agent as well, who had worked directly under the former special-agent-in-charge of the Chicago FBI office, Guy Banister.

Journalists Jack Anderson and Les Whitten published an editorial stating that Roselli had told associates that individuals he had been recruited to kill Castro. Based on information in the book “Ultimate Sacrifice” by the historian Lamar Waldron, the program asserted that Roselli was responsible for framing secret service member Abraham Bolden who was arrested the day before he was to appear before the Warren Commission.

“Once the basic groundwork was laid, Roselli decided to introduce two new players into the picture. One was Roselli’s Chicago boss, Sam Giancana, and the other was Santo Trafficante, Meyer Lansky’s colleague in the Havana casinos. Trafficante’s connections could prove helpful in moving the plots along, and besides, Mafia tradition required that as the local don, he be informed of any activity taking place in his domain.”

“Lansky was the top man in the CIA-Mafia plot against Castro, but the only journalist who had guts enough to point this out was [columnist] Victor Riesel.”. This was also documented by Peter Dale Scott (page 180).

Roselli’s biographers themselves have suggested that Roselli was indeed involved in the assassination itself. According to Rappleye and Becker (page 245): “The strongest indication that John Roselli had a hand in the pre-assassination planning is a report of a direct contact between Roselli and Jack Ruby in early October 1963. There were two meetings, both taking place in small motels near Miami, and both observed by the FBI. One of the federal investigators probing Roselli’s murder thirteen years later came across an FBI report on the meetings and relayed its contents, on a confidential basis, to Washington, D.C. reporter William Scott Malone. “An accomplished investigator himself, Malone said in an interview he was confident of the integrity of his source, and said the FBI had determined the actual site of the Miami meetings.” Roselli’s biographers even go further, asking “Was Roselli, in fact, in Dallas? FBI surveillance loses his trail on the West Coast between November 19 and November 27.” (Becker, page 256). According to the Giancanas, the president was deliberately lured to Dallas where the operation could be carried off to the specifications of the plan. “The politicians and the CIA made it real simple,” Sam Giancana explained. “We’d each provide men for the hit. I’d oversee the Outfit [Mafia] side of things and throw in Jack Ruby and some extra backup and the CIA would put their own guys on to take care of the rest” (page 334) That’s quite an admission no?

Roselli also told Washington Post columnist Jack Anderson in 1976 that underworld conspirators feared Oswald might disclose their involvement in the JFK assassination, prompting Ruby to eliminate him.

Sam Giancana was killed on June 19th 1975 the night before he was scheduled to testify before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, because of his involvement in mafia-CIA plots.

Roselli was killed on August 7th in 76 by the mob because of his testimony to the same committee, and the mob’s involvement in CIA activities. He thought he was safe when a Washington friend asked him if he wasn’t afraid for his life. Roselli said “Who’d want to kill an old man like me?” Well, they did. But it looks like Sam Giancana was more important and Johnny did not understand the message they tried to set out when they killed Sam.

Establishment media has repeatedly pinpointed Santo Trafficante, Jr., Mafia boss of Tampa, as the brains behind the Southeast Asian drug traffic. Professor Alfred McCoy of the prestigious University of Wisconsin at Madison for his ground-breaking expose of the real origins of the modern-day drug crisis. First published in 1972, despite the strongest efforts of the CIA to block its publication McCoy’s classic work, The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade, has withstood the test of time. It makes it very clear that Trafficante was simply operating as Lansky’s underling. McCoy describes the origins of the Lansky-Trafficante relationship: “During the 1930’s Meyer Lansky ‘discovered’ the Caribbean for northeastern syndicate bosses and invested their illegal profits in an assortment of lucrative gambling ventures. In 1933 Lansky moved into the Miami Beach area and took over most of the illegal off-track betting and a variety of hotels and casinos. He was also reportedly responsible for organized crime’s decision to declare Miami a ‘free city’ (that is, not subject to the usual rules of territorial monopoly). “Following his success in Miami, Lansky moved to Havana for three years, and by the beginning of World War II he owned the Hotel Nacional’s casino and was leasing the municipal racetrack from a reputable New York bank. “Burdened by the enormous scope of his holdings, Lansky had to delegate much of his responsibility for daily management to local gangsters. One of Lansky’s earliest associates in Florida was Santo Trafficante, Sr., a Sicilian-born Tampa gangster. Trafficante had earned his reputation as an effective organizer in the Tampa gambling rackets and was already a figure of some stature when Lansky first arrived in Florida. By the time Lansky returned to New York in 1940, Trafficante had assumed responsibility for Lansky’s interests in Havana and Miami.

By the early 1950s Trafficante had himself become such an important figure that he delegated his Havana concessions to Santo Trafficante, Jr., the most talented of his six sons. The younger Santo’s official position in Havana was that of manager of the Sans Souci Casino, but he was far more important than his title indicates.

As his father’s financial representative, and ultimately Meyer Lansky’s, Santo Jr. controlled much of Havana’s tourist industry and became quite close to the pre-Castro dictator, Fulgencio Batista. Moreover, it was reportedly his responsibility to receive bulk shipments of heroin from Europe and forward them through Florida to New York and other major urban centers, where the distribution was assisted by the local Mafia bosses” (pages 40-41).

In Messick’s book, Messick notes that Trafficante got caught in the middle between Albert Anastasia and Lansky over the Havana gambling. Not only did Trafficante opt to abandon his fellow Italian Mafia figure, but Trafficante also swore a blood oath Mafia-style, assuring Lansky of his support. “So long as the blood flows in my body,” he intoned solemnly, “do I, Santo Trafficante, swear allegiance to the will of Meyer Lansky and the organization he represents. If I violate this oath, may I burn in hell forever”. (pages 210-211). Remember, it was Trafficante’s associate (page 8), Loran Hall, who shared jail time with eachother and who’s rifle was found in Dealey Plaza after the assassination, and on top of that, who’s M-1 Garand rifles that were confiscated by Dallas Police. What a weird set of coincidences… Another shared associate was John Martino who had foreknowledge of Kennedy being killed when he got to Texas.

Shortly thereafter the Anastasia and Lansky feud, on October 25, 1957, that Anastasia was shot dead after what he wrongly believed to have been a friendly meeting in New York with Trafficante. Anastasia should have known what was coming. After all, according to Messick, he had, shortly before, told his fellow Mafia figures what he thought of them: “You bastards have sold yourselves to the Jews”. I think we all know who “the jews” are being refrenced here by these gun runners and mobsters. I think you understand this is not antisemetic or any of that crap.

Organized crime authority Dan Moldea (page 123) summarized the Lansky/Trafficante relationship best and most succinctly: “Trafficante was deeply devoted to Lansky.”

It was shortly after Albert Anastasia’s murder that public attention began focusing on Organized Crime as a result of media publicity. It was not, in fact, until the infamous Mafia conclave at Appalachian, New York, in 1957 that the media began hyping “the Mafia” as a major force in organized crime. Americans had long been aware of legendary mobsters such as Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, but general awareness that a national crime syndicate did indeed exist was not commonplace. according to Hank Messick, the police had been tipped off by a Lansky associate that the meeting was about to take place. Messick described the consequences of the Appalachian raid: “The delegates were scattered before any alliance could be reached. And the publicity caused the greatest heat since the 1930’s. It focused not only on the men who attended the session but on the entire Mafia. What’s more, it continued for well over a year as state and federal officials tried to find some charge to stick against the delegates they had captured or identified. Not only were Mafia leaders immobilized by the continuing publicity, but also they were demoralized. Almost instinctively they rallied to Lansky and other non-Mafia syndicate leaders for advice and assistance.” (page 215)

It’s well known how close and interconnected Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky were with eachother and their underworld businesses. But what isn’t well known, is that in Lucky’s own memoirs, he stated: “My old friend Meyer took over everything. He was my Brutus,” The comparison to “Brutus” likely refers to betrayal. Brutus with treachery. In Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, Brutus is portrayed as Caesar’s trusted friend who ultimately betrays him by participating in his assassination. Was this in relation to Thomas Dewey’s unethical methods of detained prostitutes and “blue-ribbon” jury selection?

Organized crime figures such as “Jake the Barber,” “Meyer Lansky’s right-hand-man” Aaron Weisberg, arms smuggler associate Zimel Resnick, and Israeli nuclear bomb funding coordinator Abraham Feinberg all provided critical and timely start-up funding to AIPAC as it morphed through shell corporations.

with all of this being known, we can confidently establish that he was the top dog, and driver of organized crime. He was the main suspect being threatened by RFK and JFK’s lockdown on organized crime.

Thanks to Piper’s book, all of these sources and authors could be brought into light.

So I ask the reader of this extensive and detailed article, who ran the mafia? was it the Italians? It doesn’t look like that’s a factual assumption does it? Let’s say it together, The Jewish Mafia! There we go, see, the ADL didn’t have a heart attack right?
