144 COINCIDANCE
there was a conspiracy and that possible Mafia involvement deserved further
investigation; but the Chief Counsel for the Committee, Prof. Robert
Blakey went further and said for the record, "I am now firmly of the opinion
that the mob did it. It is a historical truth."
Sam Giancana was believed to be heavily involved in heroin traffic. He
wanted John Kennedy dead because he believed Bobby would be replaced as
Attorney General under a new administration (as indeed happened) and
Bobby had been spending millions to break up the heroin racket and send
Giancana personally to prison. Giancana himself was shot dead in June 1975.
Dr. Leary was sentenced to 37 years imprisonment in 1970 for alleged
possession of one cannabis cigarette, a crime then usually punished in the
States by six months. He was released in 1976, amid a carefully orchestrated
rumour campaign claiming he had become an informant for the FBI. He is
now engaged in the manufacture of computer software. LSD has become,
like heroin, a monopoly of the CIA and the Mafia.
Johnny Roselli, Mafia king-pin of Las Vegas, was also accused of
involvement in the JFK assassination by Prof. Blakey and others. He was
shot to death in July 1976, after talking once to the Assassination
Committee and while waiting to be recalled to testify again.
In the same vein, George de Mohrenschildt, a close associate of Lee
Harvey Oswald in Dallas, who has also been linked to the CIA and the
Mafia, died of gunshot wounds in March 1977 while under subpoena to
testify before the Assassinations Committee; in this case, the coroner ruled
suicide. De Mohrenschildt and Sam Giancana were both shot through the
mouth, traditional Mafia punishment for informers.
The most provocative moment in the Watergate tapes occurs when
Nixon agrees to pay E. Howard Hunt $1,000,000 not to spill "that whole
Bay of Pigs thing." It is hard to imagine what Bay of Pigs "thing" has not yet
been revealed in Congressional hearings; yet the implication of Nixon's
willingness to pay Hunt $1,000,000 for silence—better than a poke in the
eye with a sharp stick, you must admit—is that some damned Bay of Pigs
"thing" has not come out into the light of day, even yet.
Part of the answer to this curiosity may be found in Anthony Summers'
earlier book Conspiracy (Fontana, London 1980) and in Prof. Carl Oglesby's
The Yankee And Cowboy War (Berkeley, New York, 1976) wherein one finds
that Sam Giancana and Johnny Roselli, the above-mentioned now-defunct
Mafiosi, were engaged with the CIA in several plots to assassinate Fidel
Castro, which may have been known to President Kennedy, and that Mr.
Hunt, while involved in these murderous conspiracies with the Mafia, was
also involved with other CIA officials in clandestine raids on Cuba which
were definitely concealed from the President. Another part of the answer may
