This is not just speculation. With an investigation that has lasted more than 20 years, authors Hartmann and Waldron have been able to back up their allegations with the testimony of witnesses plus corroborating evidence from the National Archives, some of it just recently released. In the course of their investigation, Waldron's car was run off the road and flipped over by someone trying to discourage him from continuing. Hartmann's car was smashed by someone using a sledge hammer and also had a few bullet holes put in it. All of the allegations in this 940-page book are supported by the documented evidence that fills every room in Waldron's house, all of it cited in the book.
Reviewing the main points:
1. Documented (from the National Archives) for the first time is Watergate burglar Bernard Barker's decades-long work for the Mafia and the CIA, particularly his work on the CIA-JFK-planned coup in Cuba. (The planning for this coup started with Nixon when he was VP to Eisenhower.)
2. Bernard Barker sold out the coup plan to his mob bosses which led to the assassination of JFK. The plan was for coup leader, Cuban Army Commander Juan Almeida, to "neutralize the Russians in Cuba with the help of US forces that were to enter the country, to help him take over the country and become its president. The Mafia knew that this meant they would lose all their gambling operations in Cuba, and they also had good reason to believe that Bobby Kennedy was getting ready to push them out of Las Vegas, Chicago, and New Orleans. So they decided the Kennedy brothers had to go.
3. Two men who confessed their roles in JFK's murder were involved in the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, in 1968.
4. An FBI informant obtained the JFK assassination confession of godfather Carlos Marcello, which the Bureau kept secret for twenty years.
5. Robert F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Helms hid the fact that the United States was on the brink of invading Cuba as part of a JFK-authorized coup. The coup had been scheduled to take place in December of 1963. The plan's exposure would have cost the life of the coup leader, Cuban Army Commander Juan Almeida, and might well have led to a nuclear confrontation with the Soviets, just a year after the Cuban Missile Crisis had barely been forestalled.
6. After his brother's assassination, RFK continued his war against the Mafia by focusing ever more attention on the Mafia bosses that had been behind his brother's assassination -- which eventually led to murder. RFK's associates then continued his quest, almost exposing the truth several times, despite the efforts of the CIA and Mafia to muddy the waters by floating plenty of bogus and confusing "information and "evidence.
