November 1963!
So, filming has started in Canada for an upcoming movie that is about 99.9% Bullshit. It is called November 1963 starring AL Pacino and John Travolta. It is based on the book Double Cross, which I totally debunked in an episode. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gwuE2W7gV8
The movie is based on a long-held myth that the Mafia helped JFK get elected President in 1960 and then killed him because he had RFK try and prosecute them. Jim DiEugenio debunked the 1960 election myth in an episode. Here is that link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cad7pWuuCA
Johnny Roselli
Travolta is playing Roselli, and from the pictures that I viewed, he looks nothing like Johnny. We will be doing a podcast episode on Roselli soon. I guarantee that the podcast version of Johnny, based on months of research and searching through documents, will be far different from the movie version.
Bill Roemer
No single person is a better outside expert on the Chicago Outfit than Former FBI Special Agent Bill Roemer. He ran the outfit task force for over 20 years and cultivated one of the best informant programs in the country. His task force had the Chicago Mafia under 24/7 audio and visual surveillance and was able to prosecute many high-ranking members based on this surveillance. From Roemer's great work and my research, we can conclude a lot of facts that will dispute what will be in this inaccurate movie.
FACTS
The Mafia did NOT rig the 1960 Election for JFK.
Roemer heard ZERO evidence of any election Tampering. We now know from the actual numbers that the wards controlled by the mob were understated for JFK. We also know that the National structure of the Mafia supported Richard Nixon in 1960.
Old Man Kennedy was NOT a bootlegging partner of the Mafia.
Roemer never heard Joe Kennedy Sr. mentioned by the Mafia. We now know, from great Canadian Researchers, that Daniel Joseph Kennedy was a bootlegger and partnered with the Mafia. He was no relation to JFK and RFK. This is easily provable. I was able to prove this with an hour's worth of research at the Library. Which begs the question, how did so Many researchers miss this ? hmmm
The Mafia did NOT kill Marilyn Monroe
Roemer heard Sam Giancana brag about every woman he ever slept with, but he never mentioned Monroe. Actor Alex D'Arcy was a good friend of Monroe and Johnny Rosselli. He said they did not know each other, and Monroe would never associate with gangsters. Don McGovern was on our show many times and proved that Monroe was NOT murdered. Here is a link to one of the episodes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qh-T5LQhCzE
Giancana was only a FRONT boss
Roemer says that his surveillance showed that Tony Accardo was the true boss of Chicago and Sam Giancana was only a front boss, similar to Junior Soprano in the TV series Sopranos.
Giancana had a SMALL role in the CIA/Mafia plots to kill Fidel Castro
Declassified documents prove that Giancana was only brought into the plots to bring in Santos Traficante. The CIA ran EVERYTHING through Johnny Rosselli.
Rosselli was more of a CIA contract agent than a Mafioso
My upcoming episode, based on evidence, will show this.
The Kennedys NEVER approved the Castro Plots
These plots started under President Eisenhower, and the CIA's own Inspector General Report proves the Kennedys never approved them, and they were not aware of them until Robert Maheu's crew got caught wiretapping people for Giancana.
As we try and stay ahead of this Bullshit of a movie, we will continue to address issues as they come out. I know some people who watch the movie and have done NO research will try and argue with us, but I am very confident that the bullet points that I just laid out are Facts.
Pacino is in the movie, so it will be entertaining, but remember it is 99.9% fiction. Let's see if Travolta can play a better Rosselli than he played of John Gotti. That was a God awful performance and quite amateurish for a seasoned actor like Travolta. Is it a coincidence that just as documents get released pointing more fingers at the CIA, a movie like this comes out to redirect from the CIA to the Mafia? Allen Dulles always had a contingency plan for everything.
