Sam and johnny

One liked sausages in his home, the other liked martinis on a boat. Either way, both of these men were killed indulging those delights. Each were mob men high up that were also connected to the CIA with Operation: Mongoose, not to be confused with Operation: Dumbo Drop (dumb Disney movie). Operation: Mongoose was the codename for the operation in which the CIA hired the mafia to take out Fidel Castro, or at least discredit him in the eyes of the Cubans, using attempt after attempt of hair-brained schemes, including exploding cigars and a toxin that would make his beard fall out. It was implemented after the Bay of Pigs failed to get Castro out of power. John and Robert Kennedy wanted Castro out of power so they created Mongoose and gave Brig. General Edward Landsdale, who would be designing the project, a license to do anything it took to get the job done. So Landsdale hired the mafia, without the Kennedy brothers knowing. The CIA then sent arranged to have mobster John Roselli got to Florida in 1961 and 1962 to organize teams to assassinate Castro. Roselli got Chicago mobster Sam Giancana and Santos Trafficante, the Costra Nostra chieftain for Cuba, in on the deal. There was a $150,000 bounty put on Cast


We believe that the mafia killed John Roselli for leaking information that would have incriminated the mafia and that would uncover ties between CIA and organized crime. It is in our belief that the mafia and CIA both wanted to keep relationship going, so killing Roselli was in the best interest for both groups. The only reason we can think of that would require the removal of the bullet from Roselli would be to prevent a ballistics report that would match the bullet to the gun.

After a few years of poverty, Roselli started to become a bootlegger, gambler, and bookmaker to the Hollywood starts. This got him into contact with Longy Zwillman, a New Jersey labor rackets boss, and Roselli became his primary West coast contact. And soon became the hit man on the West coast. He also became a leading loan shark, lending money to Hollywood types like Ronald Reagan and Ed Sullivan.

Sam soon commanded the largest numbers operations in Chicago by kidnapping Eddie Jones, the man who ran the rackets, and held him for ransom, the ransom being the policy wheels and control of the numbers rackets. Jones was held for a week until the ransom was paid. The rackets had earned the underworld over $150 million, so Accardo gave Giancana a place on the ‘board.’ He then spread the mob out to loan sharking, prostitution, and labor racketeering. He later on made sure John F. Kennedy won the crucial Virginia primary. At this point, Giancana shared a girlfriend, Judith Cambell, with John Kennedy. Cambell admitted to carrying satchels of cash from Jack Kennedy to Giancana to be used in the West Virginia primary. Giancana told her that her boyfriend wouldn’t have been in the White House if it weren’t for him. J. Edgar Hoover soon found out about the affair between Jack and Cambell, and Cambell to Giancana, and Hoover wanted to use this to destroy both the Kennedy’s and Giancana. Hoover started sending agents after Giancana with the sole purpose of pressuring him into making mistakes. Giancana was also starting to lose credibility with the mob because of Robert’s war on organized crime, with sending more than fifty agents to Chicago with orders to get results fast. Forty mobsters were targeted, and Giancana was the first and foremost important.

Roselli then went to New York and ran bootleg booze and protected beer wagons in Manhattan. Roselli was soon picked up by the Capone organization, and quickly made it
