text: did the mafia and cia really kill kennedy?   i'm not saying that i know for sure who killed jfk, but here is something to think about. jfk' s dad was connected to organized crime during prohibition. he was a bootlegger. now fast forward to when jfk was running for president. he reach out to his friend frank sinatra, who was friends with sam giancana (boss of the chicago outfit). giancana "pulled" some strings and jfk got elected. after he was elected, giancana figured jfk owned the mob a favor. jfk put his brother as attorney general, and both of them went after the mob.  now fast forward again to the assination and the aftermath. whether oswald was just a fall guy or if he was one of the shooters (and yes i said one of the shooters, meaning more than one shooter), i don't know. but giancana being boss of chicago had ties to new orleans boss carlos marcello, who had ties to dallas, and i think you know where i am going with this. jack ruby was connected to the dallas family. he wasn't very important, but he still had ties.
