    378 Obviously, the possibility cannot be dismissed, although it can hardly be said to have been established. At this point, it is, in your words, Mr. Chairman, perhaps only a little more than a "suspicion suspected," not a "fact found." The committee decided early in its investigation, as soon as it realized that a Mafia plot to assassinate the President warranted serious consideration, to assemble the most reliable information available on organized crime in the United States. The details of this phase of the committee's investigation will, of course, appear, hopefully in full, in its final report, a report that will consider the background of organized crime in America, the structure o£ the Mafia in the early 1960's, the effort by the Kennedy administration to suppress the mob, and the evidence that the assassination might have been undertaken in retaliation for those efforts. To scrutinize the possible role of organized crime in the assassi- nation, the committee early brought on one of the country's lead- ing experts on the subject. He is Ralph Salerno, whose career as an organized crime investigator with the New York City Police De- partment goes back to 1946. Mr. Salerno has since retired from the New York City Police Department and I would note that on the day of his retirement, the New York Times was moved to comment that he perhaps knew more about the Mafia than any nonmember in the United States. It would be appropriate at this time, Mr. Chairman, to call Ralph Salerno. Chairman STOKES . The committee calls Mr.

    Main Bout, Inc., Black Economic Power, and Professional Boxing: The Cancelled Muhammad Ali/ Ernie Terrell Fight MICHAEL EZRA† American Multicultural Studies Department Sonoma State University THERE WAS A MAJOR DRIFT TOWARD ECONOMIC NATIONALISM in many areas of African- American life during the 1960s. Though often viewed as extreme at the time, scholars have come to place it within a constant ideological struggle between black nationalism and integration going back to the nineteenth century and later to the debates between Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. Du Bois at the turn of the twentieth century, and the work of Marcus Garvey in the 1920s.1 The issues involved all areas of black life, and Muhammad Ali's embrace of black economic nationalism in the late 1960s demonstrates the saliency of nationalism as well as Ali's role as a race leader. At a press conference in January of 1966, Muhammad Ali announced that he had formed a new corporation, Main Bout, Inc., to manage the multi-million dollar promo- tional rights to his fights.

Their role in shaping public opinion through their media interests, and their mastering of the world of business and trade is pivotal to the world economy. As a group they are the most successful in terms of income and wealth and they have reached the highest echelons or the pinnacle of power in every field. Jews are the masters of Hollywood, they are the masters of all forms of media, radio, and television. They are masters of trade and commerce and banking, medicine, and law. The following lists we believe prove this reality. Jewish Lists The lists below are available on the internet. A spot check of several of the names found it to be generally accurate, though we cannot vouch for ALL of the names, and some titles may be out of date. The second list claims to be updated in 2012.

    1 . 1 GAR HOOVER The Man and the Secrets /RTON & COMPANY York London CURT GENTRY J.EDG W - W NORTON & COMPANY New York London '6•8.10,4'■ J. EDGAR HOOVER After the FBI director met secretly with the president for lunch on March 22, 1962, Judith Campbell lost that privilege. The bug in the Armory Lounge had gradually led him to a discovery that even the old cynic must have found stunning. Campbell, mistress of the president, was also romantically involved with Sinatra, Giancana, and Johnny Roselli, who was the Las Vegas and Hol- lywood representative of the Chicago mob boss. Hoover's education about the power and influence of the nationwide organi- zation he had belatedly discovered at Apalachin had been a crash course. Less than a month before the election, on October 18, he was informing the CIA and military security agencies that Giancana had met three times with a hit man who intended to assassinate the Cuban dictator Fidel Castro in November. Actually, according to the mob leader, the "assassin" intended to pass a "pill" to a "girl," who would slip it into the revolutionary's food or drink." That same day Hoover exhorted his agents in New York, Chicago, and Miami to get more information and keep close tabs on Giancana, noting that 1' he himself was disseminating the story in a "carefully paraphrased version." To hide his use of a MISUR from other intelligence chiefs, he had cited "a source whose reliability has not been tested but who is in a position to obtain information."'" But the hated CIA was hiding even more.

  • Mafia Groups La Cosa Nostra Was American Bred Explaining the Structure of La Cosa Nostra
    02 4225-2 CH01 11/8/01 2:10 PM Page 3 Chapter 1 Who Are These Guys? In This Chapter N Identifying the different Mafia groups N La Cosa Nostra was American bred N Explaining the structure of La Cosa Nostra The word “Mafia” has led to more confusion than the 2000 presidential elec- tion. Some scholars claim it’s a Sicilian-Arabic word indicating a proud, self- sufficient way of life. Others say it’s an acronym for a Sicilian resistance cry that was used against the French invaders of the thirteenth century. Whatever its origin, today the word is used to refer to a wide variety of ethnic organized criminals from the Chinese to the Russians to the so-called Jewish Mafia. The term also has less serious applications. The party animal buddies of Elvis Presley were called the Memphis Mafia. The groupies around President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert were often labeled the Irish Mafia. In this book, the term “Mafia” refers to Italian or Italian-American organized crime. In this chapter, I give a brief outline of the four criminal groups commonly called Mafia. Furthermore, you’ll get a description of the various positions in a Mafia family as well as examples. 02 4225-2 CH01 11/8/01 2:10 PM Page 4 4 Part 1: The Organization Which Mafia? America’s La Cosa Nostra and Italy’s three major organized crime groups—the Sicilian Mafia, the Camorra, and the Calabrian Mafia—are distinct entities despite their similar structures, the rules they follow, and the illegal activities they pursue.
