Who Killed Kennedy and Why?

I always thought the assassination of JFK was the culmination of a turf war between the Carlos Marcello New Orleans mob and the Joseph Kennedy crime family. Marcello had long controlled big-time smuggling across the Gulf waters. When Kennedy started dismantling the AC&W radar sites along the Mexican border in 1961, Marcello probably feared the Irish Mafia's land and air smuggling across the Mexican border would put his sea vessel smuggling across the Gulf out of business. Russia promptly took advantage of our dismantling the southern border radar and moved into Cuba intermediate range ballistic missiles, much more efficient than the longer-range ones.

When it comes to mob turf wars, many people get involved, including some Government officials. Speculation as to whether LBJ was a co-conspirator is still alive by historians.

I served as an Air Force aircraft and warning (AC&W) Operator from 1953 until 1957, and later, I served in the Border Patrol from 1962 until 1975--and got a hands-on view of both operations. I left Border Patrol to serve in a different branches of the old INS, now part of the Department of Homeland Security, mostly as an Inspector, Examiner or Criminal Investigator. It took a few years for me to realize just how corrupt our Government is when it comes to both contraband and illegal alien smuggling. Either crime can be controlled if the Government had the will.

On April 3, 2003, in an interview with Fox News, General Tommy Franks said that any country that wants to can control its borders.
