Do you think the Mafia was involved in the JFK assassination? Based on what? There is the claim that one or more of the shooters were Mafia, but we don't know that for sure. It makes no sense for the CIA to use Mafia shooters. Why would they need to do that? They had Special Ops of their own, plus they had access to the U.S. Military. Do you really think the CIA couldn't come up with shooters without going to the Mafia?
And think about the risk that it entailed. If you get Mafia shooters, it means that the Mafia knows that you did it. It means that you are trusting the Mafia to guard your secret. Why would the CIA do that?
We know that the JFK assassination was a CIA operation, done in conjunction with LBJ and the FBI. There were others involved too, but those were the three prime movers. So, why would they want to involve the Mafia?
LBJ had his own hitman, Malcolm Wallace, and many believe that he was on the 6th floor. I'm not sure of it, but I'm open to it.
It could not have been a Mafia operation. The Mafia couldn't control the press. They couldn't determine the motorcade route. The coverup was done by Johnson and Hoover, and they wouldn't have done it for the Mafia. They did it for themselves.
Yet, the HSCA said that the JFK assassination was a Mafia operation, through and through, and that the Mafia got Oswald to do it. That is ridiculous. Why would Mafia put Oswald on it when he spent 3 years soldering radios together in Minsk, and the only shooting he did was to occasionally go rabbit-hunting with a shotgun. And then when he returned here, he did no shooting at all. He was never in combat in the Marines. He practically flunked his last shooting test in the Marines. WHY WOULD THE MAFIA CHOOSE OSWALD?
I tell you that it was decided in advance that the lone-nut story needed a backup; hence the Mafia story. It's likely that the CIA started the rumor about Mafia shooters just for that purpose.
And yes, I know about James Files, and I don't consider him credible. Even if you do, there is no proof that anything he says is true. There is no definitive proof that the Mafia was involved in the JFK assassination in any way.
And what about the claim that the Mafia ordered Ruby to kill Oswald? It is bull shit.. Oswald didn't work for the Mafia or know anything about the Mafia. Oswald didn't even know that JFK's motorcade was going to come down Elm. He went to James Jarman and asked him why people were gathering on the sidewalk. There is absolutely nothing that Oswald could have told authorities about the Mafia. So, why would they have wanted him killed? It is ridiculous and stupid on the face of it.
Jack Ruby was not in the Mafia, and his nightclubs were not Mafia nightclubs. And the whole idea that he would kill Oswald because the Mafia ordered him to is preposterous. It's a Hollywood thing. What if the Mafia ordered you to kill someone? Would you do it? I should think not.
And remember that most murders are done with the hope and expectation of getting away with it. But, in this case, it meant shooting Oswald in a crowd of police, which meant destroying your entire life and losing everything. You wouldn't do that for the Mafia. So, why do you think Ruby would?
I can prove that Ruby was not ordered by the Mafia to kill Oswald. The proof is that he lived for 3 years. Would the Mafia have trusted him to keep his mouth shut? All he had to do was wake up one morning with a fed-up attitude, and he could have named names. Don't you think they would have killed him?
And as I have said, there is no time over that weekend that he could have met with someone from the Mafia or talked to them on the phone. All of his actions and doings are fully documented, and no such thing happened. He never met with anyone from the Mafia, and he never got a call from anyone from the Mafia.
The bottom line is that Mafia shooters is the only claim of Mafia involvement in the JFK assassination, but a claim is all it is. There is no proof that it is true. And it is not credible that the CIA would want or need to have Mafia shooters. However, they welcomed rumors of Mafia shooters because "the Mafia did it" was the backup story for the lone-nut story, in case it didn't survive.
After the HSCA issued its Final Report in January 1979, claiming that the Mafia killed JFK, did law enforcement, at any level, start probing it? No, absolutely not. It was completely ignored.
Your government killed JFK, and then they killed Oswald. Oswald and Ruby were both completely innocent. And that is the truth.
