Tras el magnicidio de JFK, solo un hombre parecía capacitado para mantener vivo su legado: su hermano Bobby. Durante la malograda Administración Kennedy, Bobby había ocupado el cargo de fiscal general del Estado. No solo eso. Se había encargado de que la presidencia funcionase, asumiendo el triple papel de chico para todo, fontanero político y jefe de gabinete en la sombra. Jack había admirado a su hermano menor, en concreto, su capacidad para echarse a las espaldas el peso de la Administración, y todavía encontrar tiempo para buscarle las cosquillas a un dictador como Castro o a un mafioso como Jimmy Hoffa y, más importante, tiempo para dedicar a Ethel, su mujer, y a los numerorísimos hijos del matrimonio. El 16 de marzo de 1968, Bobby anunció su intención de concurrir a las elecciones presidenciales de ese año por el Partido Demócrata. Los ingredientes base de su programa serían los derechos civiles de los negros y el fin de la guerra de Vietnam. El anuncio de su candidatura lo hizo en la sala del Senado en la que, ocho años atrás, su hermano mayor se había postulado para el puesto. A diferencia de entonces, no flotaba en el ambiente el entusiasmo. Podía deberse a la salud y al ánimo de su padre, declinantes desde el asesinato de Jack. Aunque achacoso y deprimido, el viejo no escatimó un centavo de dólar para el tercero de sus hijos varones. Inmerso en las primarias por la candidatura demócrata, Bobby anunció a su padre: «Papá, me voy unos días a California a luchar duro. Te brindaré el triunfo». No pudo ser. La madrugada del 5 de abril de 1968, en los pasillos del Hotel Ambassador, de Los Angeles, Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, joven iluminado de origen palestino residente en la ciudad, desenfundó un revólver del calibre 22 y disparó contra el senador Kennedy. Tras una agonía de horas, Bobby murió al amanecer del día 6. Episodio producido, escrito y narrado por Gonzalo Altozano. Sonido: César García. Diseño: Estudio OdZ.

Matt Birkbeck - The Life We Chose“The Life We Chose—an unforgettable story. A really great read.” —Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino and screenwriter of GoodfellasFrom Matt Birkbeck—investigative journalist and executive producer of Netflix's #1 movie Girl in the Picture—a  revelatory father/surrogate son story that takes readers deep inside  the inner workings of the mob through the eyes of William “Big Billy”  D'Elia, the right-hand man to legendary mafia kingpin Russell Bufalino,  who ran organized crime in the US for more than fifty years.William “Big Billy” D'Elia is Mafia royalty.The  “adopted” son of legendary organized crime boss Russell Bufalino, for  decades D'Elia had unequaled access to the man the FBI and US Justice  Department considered one of the leading organized crime figures in the  United States. But the government had no real idea as to the breadth of  Bufalino's power and influence—or that it was Bufalino, from his bucolic  home base in Pittston, Pennsylvania, who reigned over the five families  in New York and other organized crime families throughout the country.For  nearly thirty years, D'Elia was at Bufalino's side, and “Russ's son”  was a witness and participant to major historical events that have  stymied law enforcement, perplexed journalists, and produced false and  wild narratives in books and movies—not the least of which being the  infamous disappearance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa. In addition, their  reach was illustrated by their relationships with Frank Sinatra, Marlon  Brando, Michael Jackson, Suge Knight, and many other celebrities and  personalities.D'Elia became the de facto leader of  the Bufalino family upon Russell Bufalino's imprisonment in 1979, and he  officially took control upon Bufalino's death in 1994 until his arrest  in 2006, when he was charged with money laundering and the attempted  murder of a witness. He pled guilty to money laundering and witness  tampering and was released from federal prison in 2012.Candid  and unapologetic, D'Elia is finally ready to reveal the real story  behind the myths and in so doing paints a complicated, compelling, and  stunning portrait of crime, power, money, and finally, family.BookWebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the life and disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, one of the most controversial labor union leaders in American history. Hoffa was the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971, and he was known for his ties to organized crime. In 1975, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and his body has never been found. We'll discuss the possible murder suspects in Hoffa's case, including mobsters, union rivals, and even the FBI. We'll also explore the historical context of Hoffa's disappearance, and we'll consider the possibility that he may still be alive. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who's interested in true crime! So sit back, relax, and join us as we explore the life and disappearance of one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures in American history  

In this episode of Gangland Wire, host Gary Jenkins interviews Chris Franzblau, author of The Last Mob Lawyer. Franzblau represented Meyer Lansky in his deportation hearing, he represented Genovese labor racketeers like Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano and Jerry Catena. He knew Jimmy Hoffa very well. Chris shares his remarkable career as a defense attorney for prominent figures in organized crime, offering a firsthand look at the legal battles that have shaped mob history in his book, The Last Mob Lawyer: True Stories from the Man Who Defended Some of the Biggest Names in Organized Crime. The conversation begins with Franzblau's background—his education at Duke University Law School, service in the Navy's Judge Advocate General's Corps, and training in cryptography. He then details his transition from prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney's Office to private practice, coinciding with the federal government's intensified pursuit of La Cosa Nostra under Attorney General Robert Kennedy. A twist of fate led him to represent high-profile mobsters when established defense attorneys left the scene, catapulting him into the world of organized crime defense. Franzblau shares captivating stories of his legal work with infamous figures like labor leader Jerry Catena and Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano. He sheds light on mob influence in unions and high-stakes power struggles, including the bitter feud between Anthony “Tony Pro” Provenzano and Jimmy Hoffa. He also discusses the FBI's controversial surveillance tactics, J. Edgar Hoover's wiretapping strategies, and how landmark legal battles helped expose the government's overreach in investigating organized crime. Adding to the intrigue, Franzblau touches on the mob's connections to Hollywood and celebrities, including Frank Sinatra's complex ties to the underworld. He also offers a compelling story surrounding Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, hinting at new information that could reshape the narrative. Throughout the episode, Franzblau offers insight into the ethical dilemmas of defending mobsters, debunking the myths that attorneys are complicit in their clients' activities. He also weighs in on the handling of Teamsters' pension funds, contrasting transparency in his experience with the corruption seen in other cities. This episode is a must-listen for true crime enthusiasts, mafia history buffs, and legal minds alike.

The Voice Of GO(r)D podcast was recently contacted by a representative of the American Communist Party, seeking more information about trucking and truckers, with a particular focus on truckers in Canada. As this podcast is happy to speak with (almost) anyone, I was happy to hear from someone on the opposite side of the bottom of the horseshoe to myself, and I thus invited Timmy onto the show in what is something of a two way interview - she asking me about trucking, and me asking her many questions about her communist ideological priors.I know many people who follow me might be aghast at the idea of speaking to a ‘Commie' but I think our highly volatile political discourse landscape obscures definitions and forgets that not all stereotypes apply. As I mention to Timmy on the show, when I became a bit more well known for defending the Freedom Convoy, the very first people to seek my input on the reality of the Convoy and its class composition were legitimate working class Marxists, not the obese purple haired maniacs whose brains have been fried by Identity Politics and The Borg™️. It seems like Timmy and her comrades in the American Communist Party, like myself, want nothing to do with that nonsense, and would rather focus on the material improvement of working people, including truckers.Throughout the discussion, we discuss the particularities of wage suppression in trucking, the abuse of migrants by policies pushed by Mega Carriers, as well as indentured servitude programs run by their own co-ethnic gangsters, the history of Jimmy Hoffa and the Teamsters, and much else. I mention this great book about Hoffa in the show, and you ought to read it.Timmy recently appeared on a Twitter space with fellow trucking media Internet Niche Micro Celebrity Timothy Dooner, where they discussed the ACP employing the term ‘MAGA Communism'. A complimentary and interesting discussion, which you can listen to here.As you know, I'm working on a book titled “End Of The Road - Inside The War on Truckers” and you can find out more about that here -https://autonomoustruckers.substack.com/p/book-project-announcement-and-a-majorAs always - questions, comments, suggestions, corrections and Hate Mail are welcomed and strongly encouraged - gordilocks@protonmail.com

Un jour dans l'histoire vous propose de découvrir : JFK, 60 ans de mystère. L'enchaînements des évènements dans l'assassinat de Kennedy est dramatique et soulève beaucoup de questions. Qui avait intérêt à voir le président Kennedy disparaître ? Qui lui en voulait au point de le tuer ? Ils sont nombreux, les pétroliers texans, l'extrême droite, les ségrégationnistes, les procastristes et les anticastristes, la CIA et la fameuse Mafia. John Fitzgerald Kennedy est connu pour avoir de nombreuses maîtresses et des besoins sexuels considérables. Son surnom ? Monsieur 2 minutes. On ne compte plus les fois où il s'isole avec une femme et en revient 5 minutes après, montre en main. Le parrain et syndicaliste Jimmy Hoffa connaît la faiblesse de Kennedy. Quoi de mieux que de lui donner des femmes qui endosseront non seulement le rôle de maîtresse mais également celui d'espionne. Réalisation Cécile Poss.

Former Gambino family mobster Lou Ferrante joined us for an episode about his three volumes of research on the Mafia. He spoke of the alleged role of the Mob in the JFK assassination just as the files were about to be opened and he and Michael Krasny explored the ethos of the Mob -- the law of Omerta and the past frequency of so called "whackings," as well as the perks of being a mobster and such Cosa Nostra figures as John Gotti, Henry Hill and Joey Gallo. They spoke of politicians and the Mob and how the mob is portrayed in film and television and they exchanged humorous narratives as Ferrante told a funny personal tale and Krasny told a joke. Ferrante spoke of his prison experiences and how he became a writer while incarcerated, including the influence on him of historian Barbara Tuchman. Krasny asked Ferrante of analogies he made in print between the Kennedys and the Medicis and the episode concluded with Krasny drawing out a humorous story from Ferrante about Cuba, President John F Kennedy, Ian Fleming and the CIA's Allen Dulles, and asking Ferrante about the ultimate fate of Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa and what drives and inspires Ferrante to write.

It's Monday, February 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus European Union delegation warns Pakistan about human rights abuses On Friday, a European Union delegation said that Pakistan's preferential trade status could be jeopardized if it does not address human rights concerns, including controversial Islamic blasphemy laws, forced marriages and conversions of Christian girls, and freedom of religion, reports Morning Star News. According to Open Doors, Pakistan is the 8th worst country worldwide for the persecution of Christians. In John 15:18, Jesus said, “If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before it hated you.” Reagan Airport's control tower was understaffed Since an Army Blackhawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet last Wednesday night, killing all 67 people aboard both, authorities are taking a closer look at what went wrong. Staffing at the air traffic control tower at Ronald Reagan National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” reports The New York Times. The controller, who was handling helicopters in the airport's vicinity Wednesday night, was also handling planes that were landing and departing from its runways. Those jobs typically are assigned to two controllers, not one. The Reagan airport tower was nearly one-third below targeted staff levels, with 19 fully certified controllers as of September 2023 instead of the recommended 30 controllers, according to the most recent Air Traffic Controller Workforce Plan. Alarms were raised about ‘congested' airspace before fatal D.C. crash In related news, Daniel Driscoll, Donald Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Army, questioned why military helicopters needed to conduct training exercises near such a busy commercial airport, reports The Guardian. Driscoll told lawmakers that the incident seemed “preventable” and vowed to review Army practices. Martin Chalk, a former British Airways captain who retired in 2020, said, “The military tend to have a bit of a law-unto-themselves approach,” explaining that military pilots do not have to follow all civil aviation protocols. Senator Kennedy urges Kash Patel to reform the FBI, not burn it down Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's nomination for director of the FBI, was at the center of a tense and highly charged Senate hearing Thursday in which he defended his calls for significant reform at the beleaguered agency. Patel, age 44, worked as a counterterrorism prosecutor for the U.S. Justice Department under the Obama administration. Then, he served in the first Trump administration as chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Defense, deputy director of National Intelligence, and senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council.  Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana had a fascinating exchange with Patel. KENNEDY: “You're not saying that everybody at the FBI is bad, are you?” PATEL: “Never said that. I've overwhelmingly said, multiple times, that 98% of the FBI is courageous, apolitical, warriors of justice. They just need better leadership.” KENNEDY: “Who put away the Unabomber?” PATEL: “The FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who put away Timothy McVeigh and his [Joseph] Stalin's stomach for blood?” PATEL “Agents at the FBI.” KENNEDY:  “Who helped investigate Jesse Smollett, who, in an effort of self-aggrandizement, set back the fight for minority rights for years?  The FBI had opened an investigation, wasn't it.” PATEL: “Eventually, yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “There have been or were some bad people at the FBI and the Justice Department. Mr. Hunter Biden cheated on his income taxes. Didn't pay $1.4 million in income taxes over four years. And he filed fraudulent returns. He tried to deduct his hookers as a business expense, and they hit him with two misdemeanors before there was a public outcry. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “The American people are entitled to a singular form of justice and the details to every public corruption investigation.” KENNEDY: “You, you remember Peter Strzok?” PATEL: “I sure do.” KENNEDY: “One of the lead investigators for Mr. [Robert] Mueller's Russian collusion hoax.” PATE: “Yes, Senator.” KENNEDY: “You remember when the Inspector General, not his colleagues, turned him in? Inspector General found that Mr. Peter Strzok sent an email to his girlfriend. ‘Just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart. I could smell the Trump support.' Remember that?” PATEL: “He did that while employed at the FBI, while working on that investigation.” KENNEDY: “Do you remember when the IG revealed another email by Mr. Strzok to his girlfriend? Mr. Strzok said, ‘I am riled up. Trump is an idiot. Is unable to provide a coherent answer.'” PATEL: “Peter Strzok said that.” KENNEDY: “You remember when his girlfriend texted Mr. Strzok? [She said,] ‘Trump's not ever going to become president, right?' And Mr. Strzok replied, ‘No. No, he won't. We'll stop it!'” PATEL: “I do remember their insurance policy.” KENNEDY: “And then Mr. Strzok testified, in front of God and country, that never had his political beliefs impacted his work. You believe in the tooth fairy?” PATEL: (laughs) “When I was a kid.” (crowd laughs) KENNEDY: “You believe Jimmy Hoffa died of natural causes?” (laughter)  Then Mr. Strzok got fired, and next thing we know, the FBI and the Department of Justice, after he sued, gave him $1.2 million. Don't you think the American people are entitled to know the details of that?” PATEL: “Absolutely!” Senator Kennedy gave Kash Patel this advice once he's confirmed to be the new FBI Director. KENNEDY: “Now, I want you to think hard before you answer my next question. Do you believe in the adage that ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even'”? PATEL: “Senator, I think if anyone commits a wrong in government service, the American public deserve to know the absolute detail of that corrupt activity.” KENNEDY: “When reforming the FBI and the Justice Department, ‘two wrongs don't make a right, but they do make it even' is the wrong approach, isn't it?” PATEL: “That's correct.” KENNEDY: “And we're going to hold you accountable for that.” PATEL: “I hope you do.” KENNEDY: “There's some good people at the FBI.” PATEL: “Lots.” KENNEDY: “And there have been, and may still be, some bad people there. And you've got to find out who the bad people are and get rid of ‘em in accordance with due process and the rule of law. And then you got to lift up the good people. Don't go over there and burn that place down. Go over there and make it better! Do you commit to us today that you would do that?” PATEL: “I commit to you, if confirmed, Senator, every single day, 24/7, 365, the FBI will be the premier law enforcement agency in the world!” Christian teen hockey player suffered spinal cord injury And finally, on Friday night, January 24th, while playing hockey, 17-year-old Jackson Drum of Parkers Prairie, Minnesota, sustained a traumatic neck injury during a hockey game in Vancouver, Canada.  When he hit the boards head first, the 6'4”-tall young man with Fellowship of Christian Athletes Hockey endured a devastating spinal cord injury and had a cardiac arrest. Fox 9 in Minneapolis talked with his aunt, Emily Nouyen. NOUYEN:  “There's really no words to describe how our family is feeling.” He was stabilized and rushed to the Vancouver General Hospital. On Saturday, he underwent surgery to fuse C1 and C2 together to stabilize his neck.   NOUYEN: “My sister has said a few times, ‘I feel like I'm in a nightmare!' And that's exactly how I would describe it: just devastation.” Jackson remains on a ventilator, unable to move. NOUYEN: “The doctors in Vancouver have prepared my sister and Jason for the possibility that Jack may not walk again, may not be able to use his arms, and may not breathe on his own.” Jackson has a long road ahead in recovery with considerable medical bills accruing.  It's the family's hope to move Jackson to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota as soon as he's stabilized.   Please pray that God would miraculously heal Jackson Drum.  Pray that the inflammation comes down, that he breathes on his own, and gets feeling back in his arms and legs.   So far, $66,280 has been contributed to pay for his medical care including a medical transport from Canada to Minnesota.

In early 1957, the Robert F Kennedy and his brother Jack were part of the US Senate Rackets Committee and they both attacked the notorious Jimmy Hoffa, the leader of the Teamsters union and a man with numerous connections to the mob. But as Hoffa probably knew at the time, the two of them were themselves involved with the mafia. Joining today is former member of the Gambino crime family and friend of the show Louis Ferrante, the author of three volumes on the history of the mafia in American and today we discuss the second, Borgata Vol 2, Clash of Titans.

In volume two of his trilogy, called "Borgata: Clash of Titans", he focuses on the Mafia during the height of its power in the 1960s and 70s. In our interview he talks about the origins of the animosity between the mob and Bobby Kennedy, and how he believes Bobby's pressure led to his brother's assassination. We also go quite a bit into J. Edgar Hoover's role in the conflict, and I ask Lou what he thinks happened to Jimmy Hoffa's body. More about the author and his work here: https://louisferrante.com/ Our sponsor this week is Acorns.

Matt Birkbeck - The Life We ChoseJan 24, 2024“The Life We Chose—an unforgettable story. A really great read.” —Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wiseguy and Casino and screenwriter of GoodfellasFrom Matt Birkbeck—investigative journalist and executive producer of Netflix's #1 movie Girl in the Picture—a  revelatory father/surrogate son story that takes readers deep inside  the inner workings of the mob through the eyes of William “Big Billy”  D'Elia, the right-hand man to legendary mafia kingpin Russell Bufalino,  who ran organized crime in the US for more than fifty years.William “Big Billy” D'Elia is Mafia royalty.The  “adopted” son of legendary organized crime boss Russell Bufalino, for  decades D'Elia had unequaled access to the man the FBI and US Justice  Department considered one of the leading organized crime figures in the  United States. But the government had no real idea as to the breadth of  Bufalino's power and influence—or that it was Bufalino, from his bucolic  home base in Pittston, Pennsylvania, who reigned over the five families  in New York and other organized crime families throughout the country.For  nearly thirty years, D'Elia was at Bufalino's side, and “Russ's son”  was a witness and participant to major historical events that have  stymied law enforcement, perplexed journalists, and produced false and  wild narratives in books and movies—not the least of which being the  infamous disappearance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa. In addition, their  reach was illustrated by their relationships with Frank Sinatra, Marlon  Brando, Michael Jackson, Suge Knight, and many other celebrities and  personalities.D'Elia became the de facto leader of  the Bufalino family upon Russell Bufalino's imprisonment in 1979, and he  officially took control upon Bufalino's death in 1994 until his arrest  in 2006, when he was charged with money laundering and the attempted  murder of a witness. He pled guilty to money laundering and witness  tampering and was released from federal prison in 2012.Candid  and unapologetic, D'Elia is finally ready to reveal the real story  behind the myths and in so doing paints a complicated, compelling, and  stunning portrait of crime, power, money, and finally, family.BookWebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Steve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein on Jimmy Hoffa - part 2YesterdaySteve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein return with more on the fascinating life of Jimmy Hoffa.Jimmy Hoffa (born February 14, 1913, Brazil, Indiana, U.S.—disappeared July 30, 1975, Bloomfield Hills, near Detroit, Michigan) was an American labour leader who served as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971 and was one of the most controversial labour organizers of his time.The son of an Indiana coal miner who died when Hoffa was seven, Hoffa moved with his family to Detroit in 1924. He left school at age 14, worked as a stock boy and warehouseman for several years, and began his union-organizing activities in the 1930s. Initially the business agent for Local 299 in Detroit, Hoffa by 1940 had become chairman of the Central States Drivers Council and by 1942 president of the Michigan Conference of Teamsters. In 1952 he was elected an international vice president of the Teamsters, and five years later he succeeded Dave Beck as international president.Known throughout the trucking industry as a tough and knowledgeable bargainer, Hoffa successfully centralized administration and bargaining in the international office of the union. He also played a key role in the creation of the first national freight-hauling agreement. His efforts helped make the Teamsters the largest labour union in the United States.Known to have long associated with organized crime figures, Hoffa nevertheless survived a series of governmental prosecutions until 1967, when he entered the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to begin a 13-year sentence for jury tampering, fraud, and conspiracy.

Steve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein on Jimmy Hoffa - part 24 hours agoSteve Kopesky and Ted Rubinstein return with more on the fascinating life of Jimmy Hoffa.Jimmy Hoffa (born February 14, 1913, Brazil, Indiana, U.S.—disappeared July 30, 1975, Bloomfield Hills, near Detroit, Michigan) was an American labour leader who served as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971 and was one of the most controversial labour organizers of his time.The son of an Indiana coal miner who died when Hoffa was seven, Hoffa moved with his family to Detroit in 1924. He left school at age 14, worked as a stock boy and warehouseman for several years, and began his union-organizing activities in the 1930s. Initially the business agent for Local 299 in Detroit, Hoffa by 1940 had become chairman of the Central States Drivers Council and by 1942 president of the Michigan Conference of Teamsters. In 1952 he was elected an international vice president of the Teamsters, and five years later he succeeded Dave Beck as international president.Known throughout the trucking industry as a tough and knowledgeable bargainer, Hoffa successfully centralized administration and bargaining in the international office of the union. He also played a key role in the creation of the first national freight-hauling agreement. His efforts helped make the Teamsters the largest labour union in the United States.Known to have long associated with organized crime figures, Hoffa nevertheless survived a series of governmental prosecutions until 1967, when he entered the federal prison in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to begin a 13-year sentence for jury tampering, fraud, and conspiracy. Hoffa refused to resign as president of the Teamsters while in prison and kept his position until 1971. U.S. Pres. Richard M. Nixon commuted Hoffa's sentence in December 1971, stipulating that he could not engage in any union activity until 1980.
