Ralph Schoenman was the director of the Who Killed Kennedy Committee and worked directly with Jim Garrison. He currently co-hosts an excellent weekly radio program on Pacifica station WBAI-FM in New York; the shows are archived for listening at http://www.takingaim.info . I forwarded the article to him and he responded: >This is sheer slander and government disinformation. > >Jim Garrison was no more employed by Carlos Marcello than you are. > >Walter Sheridan was a notorious government agent sent in to slander >and destroy Garrison. > >All of this is amply documented and known to anyone conversant >with the JFK killing. > >It is imperative that this government disinformation about Garrison and the >JFK killing should be exposed, not promoted. >> New Light On JFK Mysteries >> With A 911 Perspective >> From Brasscheck >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> 6-27-4 >> >> It's instructive that some of the most useful analyses about >> how contemporary America really works come from the memoirs >> of gangsters. >> >> In case you didn't notice - and I didn't until I picked up "I >> Heard You Paint Houses" - the mystery of the 'disappearance' of >> Jimmy Hoffa has been solved. He was done in by long time friend, >> Teamster official, and veteran hit man Frank Sheeran and his >> body was cremated in a mob-controlled funeral parlor. >> >> But that's not the most interesting part of Sheeran's life story. >> >> First some background... Sheeren was a *major* mob figure. US >> Attorney, Rudy Giuliani listed him as a member of 'The Commission' >> along with people like Tony Salerno, Tony Provenzano, and >> Carmine Persico. >> >> In addition to his Sheeran's other skills, he was a skilled hit >> man who, according to his own account, killed people with the >> same nonchalance people change socks. It wasn't unusual for him >> to be sent to kill two different people in two different cities >> over a single weekend. >> >> Sheeran's biography "I Heard You Paint Houses" was written by >> Charles Brandt a former prosecutor and Chief Deputy Attorney >> General of Delaware, and a nationally recognized expert on >> cross-examination and interrogation techniques. Brandt was >> rigorous in his efforts to document Sheeran's life story. >> >> Some fascinating new information that appears in the account of >> Sheeran's life... >> >> 1. Chicago boss Sam Giancana was often accompanied at meetings >> with Jimmy Hoffa by none other than Jack Ruby. (Pg. 119) Dan >> Moldea got independent confirmation of this and it appears in >> his 1978 book 'The Hoffa Wars.' >> >> 2. David Ferrie was New Orleans boss Carlo Marcello's personal >> pilot. >> >> Sheeran recalls an incident where he was instructed to deliver >> an empty truck to a airfield in Maryland. >> >> Another truck appeared filled with soldiers who loaded uniforms, >> weapons and ammunition aboard Sheeran's empty rig. David >> Ferrie was present (he arrived by private plane) and provided >> Sheeran with paperwork to help him avoid being detained by >> police. He instructed Sheeran to deliver the truck and its >> contents to E. Howard Hunt and a group of anti-Castro Cubans in >> Jacksonville. (Pg. 129) >> >> 3. The method of recruiting deranged individuals to use as >> assassins and then arranging for them to be killed on the spot >> is discussed knowingly by Sheeran. The mob used it occasionally >> when they wanted to kill someone at a large public gathering >> and/or were not able to get the person alone. (Pg. 153) >> >> 4. Sheeran was ordered to deliver a package which he believed >> contained three rifles to Campbell's Cement in Baltimore, >> MD. David Ferrie and a member of the Genovese crime family, >> who Sheeran knew but would not name for Brandt, picked up the >> delivery. >> >> A few days later John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. >> >> 5. When Kennedy was assassinated, Jimmy Hoffa complained bitterly >> when Harold Gibbons, a Teamster official, flew the flag at half >> staff at the union's national headquarters. Hoffa was to carry >> a life long grudge about the incident. >> >> During Kennedy's televised funeral, Hoffa said to a Nashville TV >> audience: "Bobby Kennedy is just another lawyer now." (Pg. 165) >> More on this later... >> >> 6. Sheeran states that New Orleans DA Jim Garrison who charged >> Clay Shaw and others with the Kennedy assassination was actually >> in the employ of Carlos Marcello and had often done the mob >> favors for example prosecuting a critic of Jimmy Hoffa named >> Walter Sheridan on trumped up charges. >> >> Sheeran further states that 'friendly' DAs are often employed to >> help flush out potentially damaging witnesses for elimination. As >> Kennedy assassination students know, many witnesses died >> in the course of the Garrison prosecution including David >> Ferrie. (p. 198) >> >> Interestingly, in a book about Norma Wallace 'The Last Madam: >> A Life in the New Orleans Underworld', Wallace, the operator of >> the last major 'public' brothel in New Orleans mentioned that >> 'Big Jim' was notoriously corrupt and venal. >> >> 7. The use of private pilots to take hit men to and from >> assassination scenes to create airtight 'alibis' is described >> several times during the book. This method was used in the murder >> of Jimmy Hoffa. Pilots in such cases were instructed not to look >> at their passengers. (p. 248-258) >> >> * Putting it all together... >> >> As most people know by now, the Mafia and the CIA worked together >> in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Fidel Castro. >> >> Actually, US intelligence agencies and organized crime had been >> collaborating closely since World War II when Naval Intelligence >> made a deal with the New York Mob to both keep the docks running >> and to be on the look out for enemy action. In exchange for >> its cooperation, organized crime was given freedom to engage in >> various criminal acts including the importation of illegal drugs. >> >> Sheeran reports that the Kennedys, especially Bobby Kennedy, >> had earned the bitter resentment of the national syndicate for >> the following reasons: >> >> a. Joe Kennedy Sr. was a long time associate of Italian crime >> figures and had worked together with them during Prohibition >> >> b. Joe Kennedy Sr. received active cooperation from Sam Giancana >> in rigging the Chicago presidential vote, giving his son John >> victory in Illinois and thus the presidency. >> >> c. In exchange for this service, Joe Sr. had promised that >> Bobby Kennedy would stop his 'mad dog' prosecution of organized >> crime. Instead of stopping, Bobby who was appointed Attorney >> General by his brother, turned up the heat on them substantially. >> >> Bobby Kennedy's prosecution of organized crime was unprecedented >> in American history and did enormous financial damage to the >> Mob the scope of which is still being felt today. >> >> d. Organized crime lost assets worth many billions of dollars >> when Cuba fell to Castro. (Interestingly, the Bush family lost >> quite a bit of money from the Castro takeover too. ) >> >> Mafia figures were furious with Kennedy over his refusal to >> support the Bay of Pigs invasion with air cover as the anti-Castro >> Cubans and the CIA. >> >> e. Jimmy Hoffa was so incensed by the Kennedys he actually opened >> discussions with a hit man to have Bobby Kennedy murdered. The >> plot was exposed before it could be carried out. >> >> Later, it was decided by organized crime that rather than kill >> Bobby and face the retaliation of Jack Kennedy, it was better >> to 'go to the top' and kill John instead. Lyndon Johnson it was >> correctly assumed would likely replace Kennedy as Attorney General >> and would not have the same interest in pursuing organized crime. >> >> So what does all this mean? >> >> Based on Sheeran's account, it seems pretty likely that organized >> crime carried out the assassination of John Kennedy with the >> help of elements in local and national government. >> >> For example, if Jack Ruby was a close associate of Sam Giancana >> and not just a 'distraught night club owner,' it's likely he >> was the Chicago mob's man in Dallas which meant he probably had >> scores of police officers and local officials in his pocket. >> >> J. Edgar Hoover was probably not sad to see John Kennedy go and >> have Bobby removed as his boss. Thus the FBI's non-investigation, >> their harassment of witnesses, their creation of falsified >> evidence etc. to pin the crime solely on Lee Harvey Oswald. >> >> The fact that David Ferrie was Carlos Marcello's pilot is of >> enormous significance. David Ferrie is the person who recruited >> young Lee Harvey Oswald into the Civil Air Cadets program in New >> Orleans. He was also a pilot in various anti-Castro missions >> and in the Bay of Pigs so he had both organized crime and CIA >> connections. >> >> In Dallas, all that was needed for the crime to take place was >> for the local police to be inept and corrupt (no problem there), >> for one or two Secret Service men to cooperate, and for the >> motorcade route to be changed at the last minute so the car >> passed through the easy kill zone. >> >> Back in Washington all that was needed to put the finishing >> touches on the plot was a few military doctors to falsify the >> autopsy (recall that Naval Intelligence and the mob have long >> standing ties) and a Warren Commission that was happy to report >> whatever it was told to report. >> >> In short, the Mob pulled the trigger while elements of the US >> government looked the other way and then helped cover up the >> details of the crime. >> >> Fast forward to 9-11... >> >> Who 'pulled the trigger' on that crime? >> >> According to a well documented book by Daniel Hopsicker "Welcome >> to Terror Land" it appears 9-11 was not carried out by devout >> Islamic fundamentalists, but by soldiers of an organized crime >> syndicate, possibly Saudi-based and run by Osama bin Laden, that >> was - with US government permission - importing drugs into the US. >> >> Read Hopsicker's book and see. The evidence is very compelling. >> >> What made it possible for the 9-11 crime to take place and for >> the facts to be suppressed afterwards? >> >> Well organized ineptitude including witness intimidation on the >> part of the FBI after the crime had taken place... >> >> A handful of military air controllers (it would have only taken >> a few) who were in on it or were ordered to 'stand down.' >> >> A investigation commission that was bent on learning and reporting >> nothing of substance. >> >> Sound familiar? It's the structure of the Kennedy assassination >> all over again. >> >> Step One: Take criminals with the capacity for violence and a >> serious grudge, >> >> Step Two: Let them know that all the doors they need to be left >> open for the day of the kill will be left open >> >> Step Three: Pin the crime on a 'patsy' and >> >> Step Four: Paint over the crime scene with a B.S. investigation >> >> As I started this report off... >> >> "It's instructive that some of the most useful analyses about >> how contemporary America really works come from the memoirs >> of gangsters." >> >> Fahrenheit 911 is in the theaters and reportedly doing well. As >> a long term subscriber to my 911 reports which ripped holes in >> the official 911 story (the first one was published on 9-11-01 >> itself), I'm sure sure Moore's film is well informed. >> >> It will be interesting to see if Moore found time in the movie >> to report on the massive witness intimidation program the FBI >> carried out to silence people who know the real story behind >> the men alleged to have piloted the planes... or the fact that >> the FBI investigation into 911 was suspended just weeks after >> the 911 attacks and never resumed. >> >> Brasscheck.com >> >> http://www.rense.com/general54/9191p.htm >> www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
