RFK and James Hoffa

Mark Shaw — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 14:30:42 +0000

How many have read Robert F. Kennedy’s book, The Enemy Within? Wow, if you want to better understand how much hatred RFK had for Hoffa and his band of organized crime friends, this book will provide all of the gory details. No wonder the two were like, as one author wrote, “two scorpions in a bottle.” No wonder each believed the other to be a “mortal enemy.” No wonder any list of those suspected of being behind the assassination of John F. Kennedy had to include James Hoffa.

In my new book, Sacrificial Lamb, closer inspection of why Hoffa was truly the one who ordered JFK be killed is presented in a logical, common sense manner using the homicide detectives four best friends, motive, means, opportunity and who benefited from the crime. When this occurs, there is no doubt who assassinated JFK in the greatest murder mystery in history.

Melvin Belli – Did He Silence Jack Ruby?

Mark Shaw — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:21:58 +0000

Despite several clues causing any JFK assassination researcher to shake his head in wonder, no one has ever probed the “why” behind why famed San Francisco attorney Melvin Belli represented Jack Ruby. In my new book, Sacrificial Lamb, this aspect of the tragic events in Dallas is considered based, in part, on a comment mobster Santo Trafficante made to mob lawyer Frank Ragano, who represented him, James Hoffa, and New Orleans Don Carlos Marcello. When Ragano told Trafficante that he had hired Belli to help him with a civil suit again Time Magazine, Trafficante, according to Ragano, remarked, “I’m surprised he [Belli] would take your case . . . Che, [Ragano] whatever you do, don’t ask him about Jack Ruby. It’s none of your business.”

In Sacrificial Lamb, evidence linking Belli to the mob connects Trafficante’s surprising statement with why Belli represented Ruby. If you have your own interpretation of what the statement meant, please let me know.

RFK and The Get Hoffa Squad

Mark Shaw — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 23:44:40 +0000

Interviewed a member of Robert F. Kennedy’s “Get Hoffa” squad re RFK’s crusade to rid the world of Teamsters boss James Hoffa in the early 1960s. Wow, talk about hatred between two people; Hoffa and RFK certainly detested each other with Hoffa nearly strangling RFK one night when the attorney general made Hoffa wait for a meeting while RFK walked his dog.! Is there any doubt Hoffa, and his Mafia friends, wanted RFK dead. If so, why didn’t they have him assassinated instead of JFK. Would be interested in your opinions; my own will be in Sacrificial Lamb, my new book coming this fall.

Bobby Kennedy’s Startling Statement

Mark Shaw — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:29:46 +0000

What should we make of Bobby Kennedy’s startling statement minutes after his brother Jack was assassinated: “There’s so much bitterness I thought they would get one of us, but Jack . . . I never worried about it . . I thought they would get me instead of the president.”

Makes one wonder why RFK would say such a thing. And whether he knew who the true killers of JFK were. New, fresh evidence coming soon in my book, Sacrificial Lamb, a common sense, logical approach to the assassinations that points the finger of blame right where it should have pointed all along: the Kennedy family, and Bobby in particular. More about the book on the way.

John Kennedy and the Myths of the World

Mark Shaw — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:37:04 +0000

Read a fasincating quote from John Kennedy this week, and am wondering what the source of it might be. Any help would be appreciated. It read:

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth – persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of truth.”

Anyone acquainted with someone who worked for Robert F. Kennedy when he organized the “Get Hoffa” squad within the Justice Department in the early 1960s. If so, please give me a heads-up.
