[144] Final Judgment 205
Larner and Lansky were particularly close. Corbitt and Giancana say
that the two master criminals were "Zionists—passionate defenders of the
divine right of Jews to occupy the Holy Land of Jerusalem. . . But Hy
Lamer and Meyer Lansky weren't just Zionists, they were also mobsters
who believed the end justifies the means. Put organized crime and the U.S.
government at their disposal and you've got a very powerful force . . . 380
Lamer and Giancana were also engaged in gambling deals with casinos
based in Iran, then the fiefdom of the Shah of Iran whose infamous secret
police, SAVAK, was a joint creation of the CIA and the Mossad—a major
point of contention when Islamic fundamentalists overthrew the Shah and
forced him into exile.
Corbitt also reveals the amazing story of how Giancana (with Larner's
help) finally got the U.S. Justice Department off his back. It turns out that
as much as President Lyndon Johnson and his Zionist advisors wanted to
wage war against Egypt and the other Arab states on behalf of Israel, U.S.
entanglement in Vietnam made it impossible for Johnson to act. However,
Giancana not only put up a substantial amount of money to help arm Israel
for its 1967 war against the Arab countries, but, in addition, Lamer and
Giancana arranged shipments of stolen weapons to Israel from one of their
outposts in Panama, an operation conducted in league with the Mossad's
Panamanian-based operative, Michael Harari. In return for this service on
behalf of Israel, President Johnson ordered the Justice Department to drop its
campaign against Giancana.
In the end, though, the arrangement between Giancana and Lamer came
to an end. Lamer, it appears, was almost certainly behind Giancana's 1975
murder. Lamer, however, continued to thrive, even as a series of Giancana's
successors were faced with a continuing series of federal prosecutions,
widely hailed by the media as "the end of the mob in Chicago."
GIANCANA AND ROSSELLI EXECUTED
Giancana was murdered execution style in his own home in Chicago on June
19, 1975. The Establishment media hyped it as yet another "Mafia killing."
The Giancana family doesn't think that's what it was. They say it was a
CIA double cross. (And clearly, too, the Mossad was involved.) As it just so
happens, Giancana was killed the very day that congressional investigators
were on their way to Chicago to interview the Mafia leader about reported
CIA-organized crime plots against Castro.
Sam and Chuck Giancana frankly assert in their own book that it may
have been Johnny Rosselli who helped arrange Giancana's murder.
According to the Giancanas they believe that the CIA contracted out the
Giancana murder and that the CIA had arranged it through Trafficante.
The Giancanas believe that Trafficante, in turn, saw to it that Rosselli
arranged the Chicago hit on Sam Giancana. As they summarize matters:
"[Giancana's] Outfit friends knew he never would have divulged damaging
information; the CIA, rampant with spies and counterspies, crosses and
double crosses, may not have been so certain of his loyalty. "381
