[32] <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Judgment</strong> 93<br />

of these nationalists later banded together in the so-called Secret Army<br />

Organization—the Israel-backed OAS—and fought against French President<br />

Charles DeGaulle who ultimately granted Algerian independence.<br />

In Chapter 12, Chapter 15 and Chapter 16 we will learn more about the socalled<br />

"French connection" and how, indeed, it ultimately played a role in the<br />

JFK murder, manipulated by Israel's Mossad.<br />

KENNEDY AND LANSKY<br />

Kennedy had other powerful enemies. An ancient enmity also stood<br />

between Joseph P. Kennedy and Meyer Lansky, the foremost Jewish mob<br />

boss in America. (In Chapter 7 we shall examine Lansky's history in more<br />

detail.) The conflict between JFK and Lansky, however, went back to the<br />

days of the president's father's own bootlegging activities.<br />

According to JFK assassination expert, Jim Marrs: "In 1927, a<br />

shipment of bootleg whiskey on its way from Ireland to Boston was<br />

hijacked in southern New England. Almost the entire guard was killed in the<br />

resulting shootout. The hijackers were part of the Luciano-Lansky mob,<br />

while it was rumored that Joseph P. Kennedy was involved in the shipment.<br />

Kennedy reputedly lost a fortune on the deal and was besieged by widows of<br />

the guards seeking financial assistance. Lansky later told biographers he was<br />

convinced that Kennedy held a grudge against him personally from that time<br />

on and, in fact, had passed the hostility on to his sons." 51<br />

Long-time Lansky henchman Michael Milan lends support for Marrs’<br />

allegation. According to Milan, "Ask Meyer Lansky about Joe Kennedy and<br />

you'd see one of the few times that Mr. L. would actually get conniptions.<br />

What they said back during Prohibition was that you can't trust Joe<br />

Kennedy to keep his word. He stole from his friends so much that he had no<br />

friends. And right before World War II, the sonovabitch turned around and<br />

said that we should all get on Hitler's side, that the Jews could go to Hell.<br />

"Meyer was ready to bust a blood vessel. His temples were actually<br />

throbbing when Sam Koenig told him what Kennedy had said. And then<br />

Meyer, almost like he was a born Sicilian, swore a blood revenge on the<br />

entire family. 'The sins of the father,' he kept on saying to himself,<br />

mumbling like an old zeydah vowing revenge. ‘The sins of the father.’” 52<br />

The conflict between Lansky and Joseph P. Kennedy was but one facet<br />

of Kennedy's relationship with organized crime. It was a relationship of<br />

many parts, and, in the end, clearly had a significant role in helping shape<br />

the conspiracy that resulted in the assassination of Ambassador Kennedy's<br />

son who had, in fact, finally achieved the presidency.<br />

A DOUBLE CROSS<br />

Commenting on the theory that organized crime killed JFK (a theory<br />

with which Fox concurs), historian Stephen Fox noted that "Gangsters did<br />

not normally harm honest lawmen," 53 such as a president like Kennedy
