We don't. There was a mutual interest between the CIA and the Mafia back in those days and before. Do the words Cuba, Bay of Pigs, JFK, Oswald, Conspiracy, RFK prosecuting the Mafia, Cuban & Russian embassies in Mexico & Oswald, Cuban Missile Crises, Mafia running the Island of Cuba with gambling operations in the 50's...if it looks, swims & quacks like a duck...it must be a duck.
C.I.A, Marilyn Monroe, J.F.K, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Fidel Castro are all in the plot. It would make a great movie, but I doubt that any actors would live to the end.
I've been watching these mob documentaries lately, because it's too hot to do much outside here but watch CZcams videos. Thanks for making these news reports, etc available
I heard Tony Accardo was very reluctant to approve this, but finally relented to Aiuppa and Cerone. I always wondered if Paul Ricca's death in 1972 paved the way for this to finally happen. That maybe it was harder for Accardo to continue resisting because Paul was gone and he maybe felt more vulnerable??
When Giancana was killed, there was still a national Mafia Commission and as was stated here, New York may also have had a say in getting rid of Giancana. Not that any of their guys would have done it, but they definitely could have had a say in it. Hell, the CIA could also have off'd him.
Listen you wench. The CIA had nothing to do with his murder. They wouldn't give two dams about him. The CIA deals with terrorists, overseas threats, get my drift.
The commission most certainly had a say in it. I don’t think it could’ve been okayed without every boss nationwide simply cause other bosses may have had business dealings they didn’t want to lose money on.
@@billmason6976 Giancana had been disposed of long before that as a boss though, Aiuppa and Accardo ran the Outfit at that time and Aiuppa sat on the Commission as their representative not Giancana. Accardo could probably whack Sam at that point without needing the Commission to okay it, but who knows, he could've talked to them about it before the murder. From what I heard Sam was killed the night after the 24/7 police surveillance of his house was called off, so it for sure had been planned for some time before that. At that time though Accardo and the Outfit was as powerful as any of the NY families, if not the most powerful family overall in the country, and it was on their turf so I really don't think the Commission would have had much to say about it.
"...the method of the crime and the small caliber bullets used don't fit the usual gangland pattern..." Are you kidding me? LOL! They fit it perfectly. 22 caliber was used A LOT in close in hits on mobsters. 22 caliber is an excellent round for this purpose. Hit a guy in the head 4-5 times and that round will yaw around in there and do a whole lot of damage.
I don’t really believe Momo was a rat. But him having a issue with Castro is understandable. It was in his best interests. The 60’s were crazy like that.
He didn't really have "issues" with Castro per say, the CIA just got a hold of Santo Traffickante and Santo got a hold of Sam to take out Castro. Between a large sum of cash, getting in good with the CIA, and the possibility of being able to do business in Cuba.... Yeah it was a pretty solid deal for him.
After he orchestrate the takeover over southside policy gambling from blacks. Giancana became the outfit front man. But he still was under the thumbs of Ricca and Accardo. Who believed at times he bought to much attention although he made lots of money for outfit.
Man, most the time time people say “blah blah was better in the past” it wasn’t actually better and that’s just nostalgia talking. But in the case of news reporting and journalism I feel like that’s an acceptation and was better then got worse. It shouldn’t feel strange to being watching American news not filtered through bias political parties pushing an agenda, not being narrated by overly snarky and obviously politically biased news reporters. Seemingly neutral reports just telling you what happened, on what day not blaming the Left or the Right and keeping their personal opinions out of it so you can decide for yourself, shouldn’t feel alien. What the hell happened?
Regan Introduced the Fairness Doctrine in the 80's, which made it so that News Outlets no longer had an obligation to stay objective and unbiased... That's what happened. Look it up.
So, did his killer move the food or turn the cooker off? I'm thinking if a frying pan has food cooking and I've just shot a guy to death that I might not be too concerned about the food or house burning to ash...
It was even though he wouldn't have said shit but I will say this it's one of them or his buddy butch blassi that's what I think who else would get that close he ain't gonna let strangers in his home and turn his back on them!
In June of 1960 after Nixon wrapped up the Republican Nomination, he reached out to Howard Hughes via a scramble phone to instruct him to assemble a hit team to eliminate Castro. Hughes passes this off to Bob Maheu. Maheu explains the details to Johnny Roselli. Roselli flies from Vegas to Chicago to seek approval from Sam Giancana. Giancana informs Santo Trafficante Jr, because this event would take place in his territory. Trafficante agrees to do this, but wants to ensure, this is coming from Nixon. Sheffield Edwards who is the Chief of Security for the CIA attends the 3rd meeting on behalf of Nixon and gives Trafficante the green light to move forward. This assassination team was called S-Force. The codename was Operation 40, which would be renamed Operation Mongoose by JFK during his presidency
Like a real man? By extorting, scheming, killing, preying on weaknesses like drugs, hookers, gamblers...yea real men do that. Real men in my world take care of their own problems. Giancana sat back while he gave orders for scummy little worm enforcers to inflict pain onto others. Clearly you're not from my Chicago area...we don't act like you do...we handle our own affairs
No way it was Spilotro. Red Wemette was the first and only person to say this. It’s simply not true. Everyone in the neighborhood knew it was Blasi. Even an old timer that was a made guy hinted to me it was Blasi. Red was a smut dealer in love with Ken Hansen and when they had a falling out Red threatened to go the feds about the kids Hansen murdered. Red is a bag guy! Way worse than anyone we read about! But when it comes to Frank Schweis, Red is the expert.
Giancana was like others that was given Vegas, it went to his head and, if you were stupid enough to get involved with the CIA then, your asking for trouble. I’ve always believed that Accardo had something to do with Giancana being booted out of Mexico with the intentions of whacking him, apparently the Outfit wanted to whack Giancana after the Kennedy’s double cross but they didn’t want another high profile killing so he was banned to Mexico, but I don’t think Accardo forgave him over the Kennedy situation, it’s just what I believe but, it doesn’t mean it’s right. Take care buddy from Stevie boy.
I have never considered the option of Accardo possibly being behind Giancana being kicked out of Mexico. And like the other comment said about Giancana refusing to give the Outfit their share(as they saw it) but it is a possibility
After Giancana was killed. Santo Traficante of Florida said :"Now only two people know who killed Kennedy and they ain't talking".
Who is the two people
I think it was traicante and Carlos mercello were the other 2 involved
Marcello was definitely one of them.
Read the book Double Cross
One did. James Files.
If he had information on the Mafia/CIA relationship, How do we know it wasn't the CIA that got rid of him?
His daughter made a recent video with street stories and she thinks an agent went in and did it before his visitor showed up
@@billmason6976 it was his caretaker that found him right? Plus the police were mysteriously called off during it.
The news tells you what they want you to hear. What they don’t say is more likely to be the truth. Cronkite probably worked for the CIA anyways.

Sam's not letting any CIA dudes in to visit at 10 pm in 1975. Butch Blasi clipped Sam on orders from Joey Auippia.
Back when news reporters actually did their job.
and when the "news" wasn't brought to you by Pfizer
They still do, except for fox and Newsmax.
If you think cnn & the rest are honest then you are truly lost
C.I.A, Marilyn Monroe, J.F.K, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby, Fidel Castro are all in the plot. It would make a great movie, but I doubt that any actors would live to the end.
Watch the movie “From JFK to 9/11 everything is a rich man’s trick”
Every other time ya hear about his murder Sam was cooking Sausage and Peppers
Sausage and Spinach. Get it right 😂
Double Cross great book on the life of Sam Moony Giancona
I think the CIA bumped him off, he knew too much . . .
Or they hired someone to do it
Mob didn't kill him he was eliminated as a witness buy the ones who had the most to loose he was no threat whatsoever to the mob
I've been watching these mob documentaries lately, because it's too hot to do much outside here but watch CZcams videos. Thanks for making these news reports, etc available
You got your channel back 💯

Very interesting insight ..I can believe that
I agree. Interesting insight.
San never went for a hankie unless Accardo sneezed.
Where can I a good audio book about Chicago outfit please ?
@@user-ks6pt8nt5c i would like to know also
Sam Giancana, Chuck Nicoletti and John Roselli. What did they all have in common?
Never thought i would feel sorry for Giancana.
They weren't concerned about him talking of anti castro plots...the bosses feared he would spill their involvement in the jfk hit in Dallas.
Great job digging up old footage. Keep it up !!!!!
Journalism was real back in those days!!!
love the old news clips.

I ordered the hit

@@jacobski7216 the outfit was never as powerful as the genovese or gambino families. The five families in nyc are more powerful. You sound stupid
Most likely the CIA finished him off.
I agree
They wanted to make sure he did not talk 🦜🦜🦜
Live by the sword, die by the sword. Mobsters know their fate.
Chicago didn't need new Yorks OK to get rid of giancana.
Fact. I think they took Kennedy out without permission from New York .
I agree.
You're right
And then at the end William Colby shows up…
How convenient!

The truth is he used up his usefulness to them plus he was just too high profile .
Well the cardinal sin, was ...sausages and spinach. 🙀
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Any chance you have footage of sam leaving court and getting into a car from the news it’s great footage with music
It’s on one of the videos. No music.
He looked rough when he got back from Mexico.
Maybe THE CIA whacked him?
Yes they did so as to shut the connection to the JFK assassination!
Or maybe the CIA took him out.
After he orchestrate the takeover over southside policy gambling from blacks. Giancana became the outfit front man. But he still was under the thumbs of Ricca and Accardo. Who believed at times he bought to much attention although he made lots of money for outfit.
He was never under Accardos thumb
Exactly Giancana was just the front man, Ricca and Accardo still called the shots
The mob wasn't involed in the Kennedys it was LBJ
One thing's for sure it wasn't sausage and spinach

For real

@ 3:30 the reporter Daniel Schorr was on Richard Nixon’s Enemy Target List...
Sausage and spinach nice combo
It was even though he wouldn't have said shit but I will say this it's one of them or his buddy butch blassi that's what I think who else would get that close he ain't gonna let strangers in his home and turn his back on them!
No NY had no say. Chicago didn’t need NY ok to do anything.
They wanted to keep him quiet for sure with no deals like the Sammy Gotti trial
He knew because he let him in
This is all very dirty. No doubt about that
someone he trusted...too much it seems

@@davidfelix2594 can you belive it
I think it was a.22 cal . ? That killed him
Sam will be missed. He worked his way up like a real man
Marilyn would have been happy
Like a real man? By extorting, scheming, killing, preying on weaknesses like drugs,
hookers, gamblers...yea real men do that.
Real men in my world take care of their own problems. Giancana sat back while he gave
orders for scummy little worm enforcers to inflict pain onto others.

Sausage and spinach or Sausage and peppers??
Ya know it had to be peppers nobody eats sausage and spinach,he was an old mustache Pete he'd have peppers.
Ori Spado took him out.
Tony Accardo definitely consulted Meyer Lansky, Carlo Gambino and Funzi Tieri before he gave the order.
It was actually me and jack Cerone who wanted him gone the most we had to convince accardo to okay the job butch blasi was the trigger man
Why???
What did they have to do with Chicago???
@@joeyaiuppa6808 the only thing you ordered was a pizza 🍕. hahaha. Cool it grandpa
He may have consulted them but he didn't need their OK.
Joe Peshis character he played in Casino was the man who killed him he was cooking sausages for him and Sam couldn't eat that so he knew his killer
You're taking about anything spilitro and that's just a rumor but very possible

See I heard that even in Mexico he was making millions and outfit asked for their share. He refused and then this happened.

Same killers too…
