Some would say, if it weren't for Sinatra (and some of his 'friends'), JFK might still be alive......

JFK's father Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger during prohibition. He was heavily linked with the mafia and when JFK ran for Presidency he asked Sam Giancana to make sure his son won.

Giancana made sure that JFK won the all important Cook County, the election campaign there was more one of terror than anything else.

The deal was that with Kennedy in office the government wouldn't be so tough on the mafia but that wasn't the case. He with the help of his 'bruv' Robert Kennedy started to "break-their-balls". This wasn't part of the deal and the Mafia bosses weren't happy.

There is also evidence that the CIA and mafia collaborated on a mission to wipe-out Fidel Castro and to other throw his government, it was in the best interests of both parties (Castro shut-down Mafia rackets in Cuba). It's known as the "Bay of Pigs". Kennedy also gave his backing to this project but pulled out in the 11th hour and the invading rebels had no air cover and the mission was a disaster.

Kennedy made many enemies, the CIA and Mafia being two of them and being unofficial allies (evidence was given in a senate select committee hearing to support this claim) both had reason to see him dead.

Anti-Mafia wiretaps recorded conversations which indicated that the Mafia were involved in the killing of Kennedy.

On November 22nd 1963 did the CIA and Mafia collaborate and complete one final mission in Dallas, Texas? I say yes...


JFK murder

CIA-Mafia: Detailed

Bay of Pigs: Short

Furthermore, you will find Ruby, the killer of Oswald had early connections with the mafia, having started out small time he had become a hardened foot soldier.

His silencing of Oswald was purely to ensure what you've just described could never leak out.

Nice to see we share an interest in the worlds most intriguing conspiracy theory.

Ruby was far from a hardened foot soldier. He was a goonbah at best who owned a strip-joint.

As far as i know he was somehow indebt to the Chicago outfit and had to do a 'job' for them.

I'm a sucker for the conspiracy theory.

Google "James E Flies" - He claims to have been one of the shooters on the 22nd November 1963.

Did you know.......

That there is more sand on the golf courses of the U.S.A. than on the coastlines of Great Britain?

The man-made object most visible from space, apart from the Great Wall of China, is the Belgian motorway system. Reason? It's so well-lit.

There are only two "doubly-landlocked" countries in the World - Liechtenstein and Uzbekistan.

The centre of Tokyo has over 1000 people per square kilometre.

Libya's official name has 59 letters.

"Newton" is the most common place name in Great Britain - there are 150 towns named it.

The Northern line from East Finchley to Morden is the 4th-longest tunnel in the World.

The most common male name in Britain is "David Jones" - there are 16,000 of them. However, the most common female name, "Margaret Smith" - has only 7,500.

You and Chuckie should read some James Ellroy. American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand specifically. Deals with all the Mafia, Bay Of Pigs & assassination hoo ha.

Did you know that Joe Kennedy was a facist sympathiser. He quit as US ambassador to the UK because of it. He also persuaded Roosevelt not to assist the Republicans in the Spanish civil war.

Bit of an all round git really.

The grandfather of Dubya Bush, Prescott Bush was a Nazi fiancier.

What do we have in comparison: Mark 'Braindead' Thatcher and that guy off the telly who is Cherie Blair's dad. So tame by comparison. You could use the American relatives as Bond villains.

Last year Tiger Wood's caddy was the highest earning 'sportsman' in New Zealand.

There is more sand on the golf course that I play at than on the coastlines of GB judging by the amount of time I spend in them.

DYK...

I am bored shitless. Somebody entertain me. Please...anybody ?

I'm trying to cook trout and i was struggling - So i phoned the woman who lives across the road to come and give advice (help). She came over but was in a right huff because she was entertaining her 'girlfriends', with the look she had on her face my kitchen started to look kind of ugly.

Whatever happened to community spirit huh??

If she was gonna be so huffy why didn't she just say no in the first place ?

Typical woman.

She text me later on to apologise.

I'm taking a hard-line stance from now on with women that constantly whine...

Sounds promising. *whines...a lot*
