For myself, one of the names that has been unaccountably missing from the list of suspects over the last forty-six years is that of Chicago godfather Tony Accardo.
In the Chicago underworld, Sam Giancana might have been the President of the Chicago division of "The Outfit," the successor of Al Capone's criminal empire, and Johnny Rosselli the President of the Western division. But Tony Accardo was the CEO, and neither Giancana nor Rosselli would sneeze a new way without his blessing. Anyone believing that Giancana or Rosselli would even consider taking part in a "contract" on JFK without Accardo's permission is in need of a very serious reality check.
This is my gift to any assassination researcher with the time and resources in the Chicago area: see if you can find out what Tony Accardo was doing on or about November 22, 1963; his relationship with Giancana, Rosselli, and Jack Ruby; his relationship--if any--with the suspected assassins arrested in Chicago a few weeks before; dig up the whys and wherefores of Sam Giancana's exile to Mexico in 1966, and its relationship to Dallas; finally, see if you can figure out why Accardo has been ignored by assassination researchers for so long, because, quite honestly, I can't.
I am not the first person to suggest that we have enough pieces of the puzzle to begin putting it together. I think that we already have enough data to get a general idea of the shape and depth of the conspiracy that killed our President in 1963. I believe that we can begin sketching the outlines of the special interests and individuals responsible for his death; those individuals who have been filling the Oval Office with a series of compliant puppets ever since that grim day.
For myself, I have already come up with a list of four Secret Service agents and one military man who are "individuals of interest" to me. I will name no names at this time, because all I have at this point are suspicions, brought about by odd coincidences and other circumstances, but absolutely no proof. I could be completely wrong about all five of them. But I will endeavor to play this game by the traditional rules of journalism: two independent sources confirming and/or hard physical evidence, before accusing anyone. I of course reserve the right to speculate; but I will clearly indicate that it is speculation, often times in the form of posing questions like those above for Tony Accardo, hoping some reader somewhere might provide me with another source in addition to the one that caused me to ask the question in the first place.
It is incumbent upon all of us that, as we try to get to the bottom of the terrible history of President Kennedy's murder, that we are not terrible historians, making wild assertions in place of solid research and investigation.
I am certain that most of those who are responsible for John F. Kennedy's death have passed on in the last forty-six years, cut down by advancing age if nothing else, and answering to a far higher Tribunal than any we could constitute.
But there are their descendants, both by blood and ideology, who have trapped the advance of our nation like an insect in amber, forcing us to relive our past over and over again.
If Marx was right about nothing else, he was correct in this observation about history: "Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce."
For the sake of our nation and our posterity, let us end this farce.
