The Mafia Did Not Kill John F. Kennedy

To do something as big as assassinating a President, multiple people of high power would need to be involved. If JFK were the target of a lone, crazed gunman, I believe he would have been shot at a closer range. Whoever shot President John F. Kennedy was trained and had been preparing to commit this act of evil for a long period of time. On top of that, in order for the shooter to escape without being caught, even if he or she was located on the sixth floor of Texas School Book Depository building, they would have to have others there to help them escape without being seen. I don’t believe that conspiracy had anything to do with the death of JFK, I simply believe that a group of people who disagreed with the decisions of JFK became fed-up with him and the government which led to a terrible

Finally, the C.I.A., Oswald ,and Ruby had many connections with the assassination of Kennedy.Ruby was known for his mob relations and kept the mob still as an assumed

Like I said I believe that Joseph Milteer had planned to kill John Kennedy. There is proof of a phone call the Milteer had with William Somersett

Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner in Dallas, murdered Lee Harvey Oswald as Oswald was being transferred to the county jail. Although Ruby has never been linked conclusively to the mafia, it is possible that the nature of his business required him to cross paths with underworld criminals. Ruby may have been told by a high ranking person in the mafia to kill Oswald so he couldn’t tell anything to the police.

However Castro found out about the plot, apparently through one of the Mafia bosses who was a Cuban sympathizer, Carlos Trafficante, and redirected it back at Kennedy. Another one of the mafia bosses also wanted to get back at Kennedy. Kennedy had won the presidential election with the mafia's help, and still his brother Robert, Attorney General at the time, was publicly prosecuting these same bosses as an effort to put down organized crime. It is believed that Trafficante redirected the Cuban exiles to accompany Oswald in Dallas. The third is the amount of government cover-ups that arose from the assassination. One year earlier Kennedy had made a secret pack with Russia that he would not interfere with the Cuban government. But Kennedy broke this pack by plotting to assassinate Castro. It was believed that if Castro was assassinated then Russia would have retaliated with nuclear weapons. Therefore Kennedy had to be eliminated so that this would not have happened. His death virtually eliminated the threat of Soviet retaliation against the U.S. for his plot to remove Castro using Mafia resources. The murder of Oswald by Jack Ruby plays into this theory that the government was somehow involved. Why would Jack Ruby kill Oswald? I believe that Ruby killed Oswald so that he would not leak to the public that the assassination was a conspiracy. How would the American people take it? Our president was killed by our own

There is a plethora of conspiracy theories regarding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. They range from the incumbent of the former Soviet Union to organized crime.

This is a little farfetched as far as how little evidence there is to prove this true. Regardless this would explain why Jack Ruby shot Oswald as to tie up loose ends. Numerous mobsters have “confessed” to being part of the JFK assassination all from different mafia’s (

People believe that there were many shooters in the assassination of JFK. Some say it was the CIA and others say it could have been his own driver. The CIA could have killed him because he knew too much and were telling people that he shouldn't have been telling. Some also believe that the CIA also killed Marilyn Monroe because JFK had relations with her and he had told her stuff that she should

The mafia also had reason to want JFK dead or not to be president. Because “Attorney General Robert Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy waged the largest war against the mafia that America has ever seen. They especially targeted Louisiana-Texas godfather Carlos Marcello.” (Waldron 264). Robert Kennedy was trying to crack down on organized crime in court and in the press the week before the assassination Robert Kennedy had a series of stories published about how he was about to take down the mafia in Las Vegas (Waldron 264). Carlos Marcello told two of his closest associates that he had JFK killed and that he was glad he did but one of those associates was an undercover FBI informant. The FBI informant also took a polygraph test after he was released from prison and that polygraph test showed that Carlos Marcello had told him that he had JFK killed. (Waldron 61-62). “By early 1963, Carlos Marcello appears to have been working with well connected New Orleans private detective Guy Banister and pilot David Ferrie to set up Lee Harvey Oswald in relation to JFK’s assassination (Waldron 167). Carlos Marcello had reasons to want John F. Kennedy dead and he also confessed to an undercover FBI informant that he had JFK assassinated. He also had a plan to be able to cover it up and pin it on Lee Harvey Oswald when he started working with a New Orleans private detective.

For nearly five decades, historians have debated over whether or not the John F. Kennedy assassination was from a lone gunman or as part of a bigger conspiracy cover-up. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot as he paraded through Dallas, Texas. That same afternoon, Dallas police had arrested their suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald, an itinerant ex-U.S. marine and self-described Marxist-Leninist, previously lived in the Soviet Union prior to his move back to the United States. However, within days of his arrest, Oswald was dead. Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby on national television in the basement of a Dallas police station. Historians, through the years, have stated that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and for himself, while others have maintained that Kennedy was killed as part of a wider cover-up. The Warren Commission Report was established by Lyndon Johnson, Kennedy’s successor, to further investigate Kennedy’s assassination. After nearly a yearlong investigation, the commission, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded that alleged gunman Lee Harvey Oswald had acted alone in assassinating America’s 35th President, and that there was no conspiracy, either domestic or international, involved. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report proved controversial and failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event. Historians have held dramatically different views about the

John F. Kennedy, the youngest elected and first catholic president was campaigning for a second term when he was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963. The accused shooter Lee Harvey Oswald, was first arrested for killing a police officer at point blank. It was shortly after the shooting when he was arrested with a gun in his possession at a nearby movie theater. He was then later accused of killing President Kennedy. The evidence presents that there could be alternatives to the official account that was made about the accuser. Conspiracies suggest Oswald acted alone, was framed, or worked with an organization to commit this crime.

After the assassination of John F. Kennedy, there were a lot of conspiracies regarding the mastermind behind the assassination. President Kennedy was assassinated due to him seeking a way out of the Cold war and starting negotiations with Soviet Union. Charlene Fitsimmons, a friend of JFK was told by an agent named Gary Underhill that he was killed by CIA and that Oswald was a CIA agent. He was helped and was set up by CIA to go for it. According to Gary, there were clear evidences of how they made their way through and he couldn’t believe that they got away with it but they did.

mob killed Kennedy in revenge and also to stop the attorney general's campaign ("Did the Mafia

The Mafia is involved with more crime then one can think. Back when there was prohibition who do you think was the booze smuggler, the Mafia. this is just a few crimes the Mafia commits. Mafia hitman Salvatore ``Sammy the Bull'' Gravano pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges that he helped operate and finance a multimillion dollar, statewide criminal drug deal in Arizona. A federal grand jury in Brooklyn indicted 19 individuals, including six with suspected ties to organized crime, on charges of stock fraud and money laundering. Sex probably rates higher than whiskey in desirability, and so organized crime moved into illegal prostitution. these are just a spoonful or what the Mafia does. Racketeering; fraud; car theft; robbery; armed assault; drug dealing; trafficking in weapons and radioactive material; trafficking in human beings and exploitation through prostitution; alien smuggling; smuggling of precious and antique goods; extortion for protection money; gambling; embezzling from industries and financial institutions up to infiltration and control of private and commercial banks; controlling of black markets. The Mafia is dangerous group of people and they should be put in jail.

Many conspiracy theories have tried to explain who was responsible for Kennedy’s murder and some have cited the involvement of the USSR, FBI, CIA and Cuba among others. The death of Kennedy remains a mystery despite numerous investigations which have since been carried. There have been no conclusive prove that Oswald murdered the president and even if he did, people still do not believe that he acted alone as reported by the Warren Commission.
