2. John Fitzgerald Kennedy May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963 The Mafia Theory John Fitzgerald Kennedy May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963 The Mafia Theory

3. In the beginning, John Kennedy’s dad, Joseph Kennedy, was good friends with the mafia because he made his money the way the mafia did. By bootlegging. Because of the positive relationship between the Kennedys and the mafia, Joseph got Sam Giancana, a mafia member, to get around 10000 votes, coming mostly from County Illinois, Sam Giacana’s territory. In return for getting JFK elected the Kennedys promised to keep the mafia safe and not bust them

4. After being elected president, JFK appointed his brother Robert Kennedy as Attorney General. While serving their positions both JFK and RFK started anti-organized crime campaigns that caused the arrests and even killings of many mafia members. This mad the mafia very mad.

5. The Mafia was friends with the Anti-Castro throughout the casinos the mafia owned in Miami. The Cubans were mad at JFK, like the mafia, because he wouldn’t fully support them in the bay of pigs operation. Both the mafia and the Anti-Castro Cubans were trained by the CIA as assassins.

6. On Friday, November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, at 12:30 p.m. Central Standard Time in Dealey Plaza president John F. Kennedy was assassinated. He was riding in his limo in his presidential limo on the sunny day when the parade route was changed, possibly by the mafia? When he went down Elm street shots were fired in the neck and side of the head by Lee Harvey Oswald who was in the Texas book depository sixth floor window. In our theory we think there was more than just Oswald, but more mafia shooters in the grassy knoll. Two mafia members even confessed to being shooters in the assassination plot.

7. There is a teapot of evidence to support our theory. In a 1979 investigation on Carlos Marcello it was found that he was a likely part of the mafia conspiracy having the means and opportunity to kill a president. Another person involved with Santos Trafficante overheard him saying the president was going to be hit. Bill Bonamo, the son of a Chicago mafia boss, wrote in his memoir about hearing his fathers associates talking about an assassination plot and gave much of the info we know about the mafia theory In 2006 the FBI released information about Carlos Marcello confessing in detail to arranging a plot to kill the president.

8. “There is a price on the President's head. Somebody will kill Kennedy when he comes down South.” - Bernard Tregle, a new Orleans restaurant owner associated with Carlos Marcello "You know what they say in Sicily: if you want to kill a dog, you don't cut off the tail, you cut off the head.” –Carlos Marcello, explaining why JFK, not Attorney General Robert Kennedy would be killed for the anti-mafia campaigns they both conducted. “Kennedy’s not going to make it to the 1964 election, he’s going to be hit.” – Santo Trafficante All these quotes show evidence of the mafia theory and how many mafia members knew about, and planned an assassination.

9. 1.Joseph Kennedy does bootlegging with mafia, and becomes friends with them. 2.Because of friendship mafia helps get JFK elected. 3.When elected JFK and his brother Robert make campaigns against organized crime, mafia gets mad. 4.Mafia hires Oswald to shot JFK from TBD and has mafia shooters in grassy knoll. 5.Mafia doesn’t want Oswald to tell about being hired by the mafia so they hire Jack Ruby to Shot Oswald.
