NEW YORK
Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who went to history textbooks as someone who killed President John Kennedy in 1963, was not the lone gunman -- but only a part of a secret plot for assassination of one of the most popular American presidents ever. That is not only conclusion by known American author Larry Sabato, a political scientist at University of Virginia, but also from professor at New York Leman College, journalist and author, Stefano Vaccara, which new book on assassination of President Kennedy, will appear next month. He exclusively talked to AA on this occasion.
Kennedy’s war with mafia
“The story is rather simple, although the confusion has been systematically created on Kennedy’s murder,” Vaccara, which new book, also on assassination of President Kennedy, will appear in November in New York -- told AA on Monday:
“It was Mafia that killed John Kennedy in Texas on November 22, 1963,” he said.
“John Kennedy died because his brother Robert Kennedy stepped in campaign against mafia in America. He even wrote the book, before he became Attorney General, and before his brother John became a president, and titled it - ‘The Enemy Within’. In that book Robert Kennedy explained in plain language how Mafia has survived and went into many spores of American life. Robert believed that the real enemy of the United States was Mafia, which wasn’t uprooted. It was Mafia, not a communists, that was the biggest threat to the United States, he thought, pronouncing it as the most dangerous enemy. He was the one who called on all American society to fight the Mafia, and so became the Mafia’s enemy number one, and ultimately paid by its head beside his brother” Vaccara told AA.
He said Robert Kennedy “new only few hours after the assassination of his brother – that Mafia killed him.”
CIA criticized for not disclosing documents
In a huge press event scheduled for Tuesday in Washington press museum – Newseum, Larry Sabato – was supposed to unveil his findings on this. In his 624 pages writings, he strongly criticizes the Central Intelligence Agency for continuing to hold back documents about the Kennedy assassination. Many government documents on this are scheduled to be released only in 2017.
In his book, though Sabato does not conclude who indeed killed President John Kennedy.
The book titled “The Kennedy Half Century: The Presidency, Assassination and Lasting legacy of John F. Kennedy,” - on which, as US media reported - Sabato worked five years - only rises doubts, that popular American president was not killed in Dallas as a part of “Cuban” or international conspiracy. But it did not finger-pointes who else was could have been involved in assassination beside Oswald.
Vaccara: Mafia had their reasons against Kennedy brothers
“John Kennedy died because Mafia had to stop his brother Robert Kennedy, who was Minister of Justice at the time and was heavily involved war with Mafia,” Vacara said in the interview with AA.
Vaccara, who also teaches a course on Mafia and its sociology dimensions in American society, told AA – the mafioso named Carlos Marcello, from New Orleans, whose real name was Calogero Mialpoli from Italy -- for sure is the one who can be linked to Oswald and Jack Rubio. As it is well known Rubio latter killed Oswald when he was in custody of Texas Police, but for some reason not guarded enough, and obviously - insufficiently protected from Mafia.
Vaccara told AA, Carlos Marcello decided to kill US President to stop US Minister of justice: “By killing the President John Kennedy – the power of Robert Kennedy was vanished,” he told AA.
Popular book topic for half a century
Vaccara said he decided to write the book – after disliking the fact that American public continues to be deliberately confuse on the issue by domestic media reporting. Even the film “JFK” on John Kennedy assassination made by famous American director Oliver Stone – missed the chance and “offered only so many different scenarios that additionally confused the public.”
“The simple truth is – it was Mafia who killed John Kennedy in order to defeat Robert Kennedy forever,” Vaccara concluded in a interview with AA.
Fifty years after John Kennedy was brutally murdered on American south, before he even completed his first term in the White House, US public does not cease to be fascinated by this tragic life story.
“It is among the other things because John Kennedy was the last American president who was assassinated, and the story on his murder was newer completed,” Vaccara said.
On the other hand in his book, Sabato interviewed former President Jimmy Carter, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, on how Kennedy’s legacy has affected them. He has concluded, as the first media preview reported the flame of Camelot (John Kennedy) “shaped every subsequent president, from Lyndon Johnson to Bill Clinton.”
Sabato book ends with finding that some sort of conspiracy cannot be dismissed, but he is almost sure that Oswald was at least one of other Kennedy’s assassins. The conclusion is echoed by professor and author Stefano Vacara in an interview with AA, who strongly argues that the Mafia is behind the Kennedy assassination.
Who was hiding video from Dallas
Vaccara said the US law enforcement knew from the very beginning that Jack Rubio who killed Oswald was mafia hit-man ordered to do so. Mafia killed Oswald to prevent him to reveal the true purchaser of the John Kennedy’s murder.
“Lee Harvey Oswald was a key suspect only until American public saw first video of President’s Kennedy assassination in Dallas, when it became clear that his body was hit by bullets from different directions. Not until 1970-tes we saw video, since only photos from Dallas were available to the press,” Vaccara told AA.
He said, latter it was discovered - that there were only three bullets fired from Oswald’s gun, but there were many other bullet’s whole in President’s Kennedy car and in his body.
“Ever since the US public saw the video and the notions of Kennedy’s wounded body – more then 70 percent Americans do not believe he was killed by lone gunman paid by some communist country or so. Oswald was not acting alone, that is is for sure,” Vaccara said.
