[78] Final Judgment 139
Jew, give a shit whether or not some fuckin' movie had a bunch of Italian
names in it? Because he was pullin' the wires and everybody was dancin' to
his tune on the other end, like a bunch of puppets.
"Lansky held the purse strings, too; he was the treasurer and he was really
tryin' to be the boss of everythin'. He was so hungry for power behind the
scenes he'd kiss anybody's ass and do anythin' he had to do so that in the end,
he—Meyer Lansky, my old partner and a Jew—would wind up the real boss
of bosses of all the Italians and the Jews—and without a single fuckin' vote on
the [organized crime syndicate] council.
"I never really knew what it meant when we was kids and I used to call him
the Genius. But at the age of sixty-four, I finally got wise." 203
THE GUIDING HAND
So it was that Meyer Lansky—though not an Italian—did, indeed, become,
as he was to be called, "the chairman of the board" of the organized crime
syndicate, even more powerful than the "Mafia" itself.
If, as some claim, "The Mafia Killed JFK," it couldn't have been done
without the foreknowledge—and guiding hand—of Meyer Lansky.
And as we shall see in this chapter—and further throughout the pages of
this work—Lansky's connections with Israel and its Mossad (as well as
Israel's allies in the CIA), demonstrates that Israeli loyalist Meyer Lansky is an
integral player who bound together the diverse elements which came together
in the JFK assassination conspiracy.
HIDING BEHIND 'THE MAFIA'
In Little Man, his recent friendly biography of Meyer Lansky, Robert
Lacey dismissed rumors of Lansky's role in the JFK assassination when he
wrote that: "Meyer was mentioned most frequently of all in that happiest of
hunting grounds for conspiracy theorists, the assassination of President John F.
Kennedy.” 204
This is the only reference in Lacey's book to even the most tenuous
link between Lansky and the JFK murder. However, as we shall see, the
connections are very deep indeed. Yet, contrary to what Lacey contends,
Lansky's name seldom appears in any significant fashion in most standard
accounts which contend that organized crime played a role in the
assassination.
The fact is that Lansky's name has been continuously and conveniently
buried behind a host of Italian Organized Crime ("Mafia") figures. In
Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 we review, extensively, Lansky's connections
with the more famous—perhaps infamous—Italian-surnamed underworld
figures linked to the Kennedy assassination.
As we shall see, in fact, those individuals in question were, practically to
a man, Lansky's underlings. However, Lansky's name is hardly
mentioned at all in standard accounts which suggest that organized crime—
particularly "the Mafia"—played a part in the president's murder.
