Podcasts about trafficante

You really think this guy gets a job 40 days before the assassination, moving to Dallas from New Orleans and just happens to work in a high rise building right at the end of the motorcade rout that had an empty (meaning no people) room on the top floor?You'd have to say one of 3 things. Either he was part of a plan, was extremely well handled, or was a super rare coincidence.Think about it, a covert asset of ONI and CIA who could speak Russian and was certainly not lacking intelligence, moves to a new city to get a minimum wage job moving books. And then as testified by Roselli, he was shot so as to silence him.Remember what Hoover wrote Nov 24th 1963Why say the Real Assassin?”It is nteresting because Nick Katzenbach who Hoover is referring to, himself wrote the next day in a memo to Bill Moyer “THE PUBLIC MUST BE SATISFIED THAT OSWALD WAS THE ASSASSIN; THAT HE HAD NO CONFEDERATES WHO ARE STILL AT LARGE; AND THAT EVIDENCE WAS SUCH THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN CONVICTED AT TRIAL.””Jack Ruby, also a Jew, even told the warren commission he had to do it “because of his Jewish faith”and what was he talking about when he told Earl Warren“Unfortunately, Chief Earl Warren, had you been around 5 or 6 months ago, and I know your hands were tied, you couldn't do it, and immediately the President would have gotten a hold of my true story, or whatever would have been said about me, a certain organization wouldn't have so completely formed now, so powerfully, to use me because I am of the Jewish extraction, Jewish faith, to commit the most dastardly crime that has ever been committed. Can you understand now in visualizing what happened, what powers, what momentum has been carried on to create this feeling of mass feeling against my people, against certain people that were against them prior to their power?” That goes over your head doesn't it.…I want to say this to you. The Jewish people are being exterminated at this moment. Consequently, a whole new form of government is going to take over our country, and I know I won't live to see you another time. Do I sound sort of screwy–in telling you these things?… All I know is maybe something can be saved. Because right now, I want to tell you this, I am used as a scapegoat, and there is no greater weapon that you can use to create some falsehood about some of the Jewish faith, especially at the terrible heinous crime such as the killing of President Kennedy….Now maybe something can be saved. It may not be too late, whatever happens, if our President, Lyndon Johnson, knew the truth from me. But if I am eliminated, there won't be any way of knowing. Right now, when I leave your presence now, I am the only one that can bring out the truth to our President, who believes in righteousness and justice.”Note that later while talking to the press that Jack Ruby says the Truth may never come above board and that it goes all the way to the top. If LBJ isn't in the loop and at the top as it were, then who is he talking about?“But he has been told, I am certain, that I was part of a plot to assassinate the President…. I am sorry, Chief Justice Warren, I thought I would be very effective in telling you what I have said here. But in all fairness to everyone, maybe all I want to do is beg that if they found out I was telling the truth, maybe they can succeed in what their motives are, but maybe my people won't be tortured and mutilated. ….No; the only way you can do it is if he knows the truth, that I am telling the truth, and why I was down in that basement Sunday morning, and maybe some sense of decency will come out and they can still fulfill their plan, as I stated before, without my people going through torture and mutilation. …But I won't be around, Chief Justice. I won't be around to verify these things you are going to tell the President. … I have been used for a purpose, and there will be a certain tragic occurrence happening if you don't take my testimony and somehow vindicate me so my people don't suffer because of what I have done. …All I want is a lie detector test, and you refuse to give it to me. Because as it stands now—and the truth serum, and any other–Pentothal–how do you pronounce it, whatever it is. And they will not give it to me, because I want to tell the truth. And then I want to leave this world. But I don't want my people to be blamed for something that is untrue, that they claim has happened. “It seems that Jack Ruby is paranoid that the president has been told already that he was party of a plot to kill the president that that “his people” meaning Jewish people or the Israeli state was behind it. Israel had several motives to want both JFK and RFK dead. It was in their eye a matter of survival.1 The Kennedys want Israel inspected for nuclear weapons. RFK also had information and testing done around Dimona showing the Uranium there had come from the US's Nautilus project, since it was the only uranium in the world enriched to that high a % at that point in time. It was all over the area.2 The Kennedys supported Palestinians right of Return.3 They wanted Israel's foreign lobbies to register as foreign agents4 JFK along with France's Charles de Gaulle who also survived an assassination attempt, supported Algeria independence.The John Birch Society, who Ruby tries to paint a picture of as all powerful, didn't kill the President. As much as big oil was tied to LBJ, and Texas oil man David Harold Byrd owning the building where Lee Harvey Oswald worked, they didn't control Jack Ruby nor did they gain anything worth the risk when RFK was assassinated in California. Guys like David Ferrie and Jacob Rubenstein were working for the Mafia. And the Mafia lost a billion dollars in revenue when Castro shut down the casinos. They had every reason to work with the CIA when they came knocking and they did, and the CIA had every reason to seek plausible deniability that the mafia provided for a variety of illegal activities, from narcotic and gun running to assassination. The CIA's Victor Marchetti testified that Ferrie worked for the CIA.Jack Ruby was a central mafia figure and knew almost every cop in Dallas. He also went the Cuba and even rode with FBN agents to the airport. So was Oswald's childhood friend and fellow closet f****t Efraim Sullivan, who became a chief of police in Louisiana and got 4 cops killed as well as 5 civilians all in one shooting. According to his son he work for the Mossad. These southern mafia heads guys were bragging about JFK AND Robert getting killed before both happened. The Kennedys demanded the ZAC/ZOA/AIPAC register as a foreign agent. RFK issued them a moratorium with 72 hrs to comply in November of 63. The PM resigned over it to stall for time and Kennedy was killed the same month.The mafia was the CIA's plausible deniability and ground distribution network for narcotics which is how they were covertly financing anti communist resistance in Cuba, China, and USSR. Vietnam's opium was a natural market move as Europe was recovered from WWII. RFK was prosecuting the same mob leaders who the CIA was secretly working with to sell drugs and even attempt to assassinate Castro. Think back to the CIA's earliest operations in the Middle East, operation Ajax and the Suez Crisis, which was itself the product of a botched 1956 Israel false flag operation, Operation Suzanna, now commonly called the Lavon Affair. As a Senator, Johnson blocked the Eisenhower administration's attempts to apply sanctions against Israel following the 1956 Sinai Campaign. Who did these CIA operation in Iran and Egypt really benefit? Not the United States. But of course both Dulles brothers were hardcore Zionists. Bobby was killed on the first anniversary of the six day war and set up a Palestinian. Now who would want to do that?The plan was to replace him with Katzenbach, which LBJ did. And none of it could move until JFK was out of the way. The mob lost a billion dollars a year in gambling revenue when Castro shut down casinos. Hoffa using teamster pension funds to create Las Vegas as the new Cuba was in reaction to this. These are the guys who end up in a series of murders for or before finishing testimony to the House Committee on assassination. Giancana had been Ruby's boss. Trafficante had him killed.The Jewish finger prints are all over both assassinations. Johnson's domestic and foreign policies on Cuba on Russia on Vietnam didn't really change. Kennedy was not getting out of Vietnam. This is wishful thinking on par with the fools who thought Obama was going to be an antiwar president. JFK had already procured 6 billion dollars, most of it left over from Eisenhower who had had enough of the MIC, to spent on the F111 fighter jet. Oh it is interesting that the Crown family benefited when Johnson lobbied to have the contract go to General Dynamics. They also married into the family who owned the hotel where Bobby was shot and allowed Jewish mobsters to use it for gambling operations. It was Henry Crown's personal lawyer Albert E Jenner, who was appointed by Johnson and to be part of the Warren Commission whitewash, was hired to look into the backgrounds of the two most important individuals, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby. Of course he found no intelligence ties or mob ties. Jenner was also a director for general Dynamics. Reading the biographies given for these men by the WC and comparing them to the mountains of information we have now is enough to make even the most crooked lawyer blush. Jack Ruby's first jail visitor was the mob boss of Dallas.The only dramatic changes under LBJ were on his Middle East policy. He had Americans killed! About the USS Liberty which the Israelis attacked in the Six Day War, LBJ told Admiral Lawrence Geis “I dont care if that ship sinks to the bottom of the ocean.” LBJ stacked his admin with Zionists and the US has never recovered. Israel kept it nukes, Palestinians never got right of return, (it was never even brought up again) the lobbies never registered as foreign agents, and America as subsidized the racist apartheid state with billions every year from then to now. Of Course Johnson didn't want the ZOA (Zionist Organization of America) to be registered as a foreign lobby. His aunt, Jessie Johnson was on it! Few people know that according to Jewish law, LBJ was himself Jewish. His mother was Rebekah Baines, thus Johnson's middle name. She was Jewish. Her mother was Ruth Ament Huffman, and her mother was Mary Elizabeth Perrin all of whom were Jewish. Perrin's husband was John S. Huffman whose mother was Suzanne Ament, thus Ruth's Middle name. Ament was a German Jew. The Huffman's settled in Fredrick Maryland and from there went to Kentucky and finally Texas. The Jewish times brags ” The line of Jewish mothers can be traced back three generations in Lyndon Johnson's family tree. There is little doubt that he was Jewish.” Regardless there is no doubt that LBJ was a Zionist and put Israel's needs first. Writing that list would take a long time.On November 21, 1963, a government informant named Thomas Mosley was negotiating the sale of machine guns to a Cuban exile named Echevarria. In the course of the transaction, Echevarria said that “we now have plenty of money – our new backers are Jews” and would close the arms deal “as soon as we [or they] take care of Kennedy.” The next day, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.You wont see that in Oliver Stone's film on JFK of course the Executive producer of that film was Arnon Milchan, Israel's largest arms dealer. It is unfortunate but many laymen JFK researcher use that film as their initiation.Echevarria's words are often associated with the Mocone -Rowley memo. CD 498 [Rowley memorandum| which does reference it. It goes on to explain how the conversation was interrupted by other bus drivers. The follow up interview with the informant is of course classified.Furthermore this adds. “I further told Mr Johnson that the informant had worked with us in a recent counterfeiting Case and had proved to be reliable.”However the primary source is a Secret Service ReportSpecial Agent Joseph E Noonan.What is the Jewish (mafia/state) doing mixed up with anti-Castro Cuban exiles who were illegally buying arms? And why isn't this pre Kennedy assassination foreknowledge more well known? Oh but you see it is, only the Jews part is usually removed. I don't think researchers should omit this just to be Politically Correct. The international angle and Johnson's deep ties with Israel and Israel's motives to kill not only JFK but RFK as well, is seldom explored. Stone's movie doesn't even mention middle eastern policy or Israel and instead focuses on the Bay of Pigs and Vietnam. I think enough eyeballs have been over every inch of those theories for over 5 decades. I have a working theory that cleanly ties both assassinations together. But I am censored on everything.How Israel stole the bomb and killed JFKI need you to subscribe, it is just $6 a month less if you sign up for a year. This is a public episode.

Teheran chiede la liberazione del trafficante detenuto.

Trafficante always wanted to make it big in the Cuban casinos and in 1946 sent his son, Santo Jr., to Havana to run the Mafia casinos. However, even in Cuba, Lansky was the ringleader, maintaining influence at the highest levels of the government, so much so that Trafficante was never more than a junior partner on the island.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-the-american-mafia--4722947/support.

Today I'm joined by my buddy Mario Trafficante from the Hunting Beast. Mario is one of my favorite people to chop it up with. We have a lot in common beyond hunting, and those commonalities bleed into our approaches to hunting. Sometimes things don't play out like we intend, and the path less traveled is what ultimately fills your tag. Being open to those twists of fate and being willing to indulge them can make all the difference. I hope you all dig the conversation as much as I did - thanks for listening.

In another BONUS EPISODE, Pettengill focuses on one of the most powerful and important mafioso in American history - Santo Trafficante, Jr. Much like Meyer Lansky, Trafficante was instrumental in the making of a criminal empire in Cuba. But this is not a story that Pettengill can tell on his own. This episode features a Trafficante insider, a liason, the incomparable Joann "Joiew" Gallo.

The Trafficante crime family ruled Florida for decades, earning the respect and admiration of powerful mobsters like Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky and Sam Giancana. Santo Trafficante Sr arrived in Tampa as a boy from Sicily and took to the underworld with a talent for business, setting up the illegal lottery known as the Bolita before using his Spanish skills to make him indispensable to the powerful five families who wanted to set up shop in Cuba. When his son, Santo Jr, took the reigns, they soon controlled casinos, nightclubs and luxury hotels, as well as narcotics trafficking routes, from Cuba to Miami to Tampa. But the heady days of Fulgencio Batista's Cuba was coming to a close, and the Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro were going to complicate things. So much so that Trafficante soon found himself in one of America's strangest alliances and even stranger assassination plots. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today I'm joined by my buddy Mario Trafficante. Mario and I met and realized we had way more in common than our passion for bowhunting. We both recognize the larger patterns in our lives that complement each other, drives our passion, our curiosity, and at times creativity. If you allow it, hunting can enrich your life beyond the tree stand. And the same can be said that anything you're passionate about can positively influence your hunting. Like most things in life, mindset and how you process the world around you is everything. Mario is not just a great hunter, but he gets it…the pursuit of experiences, the quest for knowledge, to make him a better hunter…but ultimately a better human.

In un mondo in cui Pablo Escobar è un nome familiare e il marchio del cartello di Sinaloa rivaleggia con quello di Coca-Cola, Group America, rimane un enigma. Sebbene infatti la potentissima organizzazione criminale serbo-statunitense possegga una quota considerevole del mercato europeo della cocaina, quasi nulla si conosce della stessa, dei suo memebri e della sua reale portata.

Trafficante was heavily involved in the operation of illegal bolita lotteries. During his reign, Trafficante was a well-respected boss with ties to Charles "Lucky" Luciano and Thomas Lucchese. Trafficante died of stomach cancer on August 11, 1954; he was a member of L'Unione Italiana, and he was buried in L'Unione Italiana Cemetery in Ybor City.[1] His son, Santo Trafficante Jr. subsequently took over the crime family. Santo Trafficante Jr. (November 15, 1914 – March 17, 1987) was among the most powerful Mafia bosses in the United States. He headed the Trafficante crime family and controlled organized criminal operations in Florida and Cuba, which had previously been consolidated from several rival gangs by his father, Santo Trafficante Sr. Reputedly the most powerful crime boss in Batista-era Cuba, he never served a prison sentence in the US. Trafficante turned his father's criminal organization into a multi-billion dollar international organized crime empire. Trafficante was reportedly a multi-billionaire, and wielded enormous power and influence all over the United States and Cuba by paying off police, judges, federal prosecutors, city officials, government officials, local and international politicians, mayors, governors, senators, congressmen, CIA agents and FBI agents.

Former law clerk John Markey '86 is joined by the Judge’s granddaughter, Bridget Power, and together they speak with Judge Harrington '55 about his family as well as his illustrious career. Interview originally recorded on February 21, 2020. --- Transcript Judge Harrington: I got a lot of breaks in life by being a member of the Holy Cross family through Ed Hanify '33 and Arthur Garrity '41. People have to help you. You can't do much by yourself. And so you have to pay back. I think the greatest joy, it seems a cliche to say, but it is, the great joy you get life is to serve others, if you can help other people. First of all, your family, help them and then other people. Maura Sweeney: Welcome to Mission-Driven, where we speak with alumni who are leveraging their Holy Cross education to make a meaningful difference in the world around them. I'm your host Maura Sweeney from the class of 2007, director of Alumni Career Development at Holy Cross. I'm delighted to welcome you to today's show. In this episode, we hear from the Honorable Edward F. Harrington from the class of 1955. In 1988, Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Harrington to a lifetime appointment to serve as a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. He began serving as a federal judge in 1988 and assumed senior status in 2001. In 2019, Judge Harrington was awarded the inaugural Edward Bennett Williams '41 Lifetime Achievement Award by the Holy Cross Lawyers Association. The award is given on an annual basis for making a positive impact on the administration of justice and demonstrated loyalty to Holy Cross. Former law clerk John Markey from the class of 1986 is joined by the judge's granddaughter, Bridget Power, and together they speak with the judge about his family as well as his illustrious career. From running into Ernest Hemingway during his time in the Navy, to supporting civil rights leaders in Mississippi in the early '60s, to participating in a trial against Edward Bennett Williams in 1964, their conversation is filled with inspiring and memorable stories. Every step of the way, the Holy Cross network showed its power and influence. A remarkable, yet humble figure, Judge Harrington models the incredible impact that can be made with the foundation of a Holy Cross education. John Markey: Hello, this is John Markey from the Holy Cross class of 1986, here to interview Judge Edward F. Harrington, Holy Cross class of 1955 and the recipient of the first ever Edward Bennett Williams Lifetime Achievement Award offered by the Holy Cross Lawyers Association and I'm here with his granddaughter Bridget Power. Bridget Power: Hi there. John Markey: Judge, if you just want to introduce yourself? Judge Harrington: My name's Ted Harrington, class of 1955. Bridget Power: I'm Bridget Power. I did not go to Holy Cross but my parents both went here. My grandfather, Ted Harrington, many of my aunts, uncles, relatives, my great grandfather, John J. Harrington, and my grandpa's two brothers, Dan and John Harrington. Didn't go here but feel very connected to Holy Cross. Bridget Power: Gramps, I know we've talked about your childhood. I'm wondering if you can share with the audience a little bit about what it was like to be born right after the depression in Fall River, Mass. And what it was like to grow up there. Judge Harrington: Well, I grew up in Fall River, which was a middle town. I grew up in the heart of the depression in 1933. It was a different world. Money was not that available. Although I was very lucky in that my father was a schoolteacher and had a full job. I grew up in, I would say, an Irish American neighborhood and our concerns were education, sports, politics, religion. I know in my family since both of my parents were teachers, education was very important to us. I was lucky enough to have books in the house and education as maybe one of the most important objects of my young life. Bridget Power: Can you say a little bit more about what your education was like? Judge Harrington: Well, I went to a parochial school which had about 900 students. It was the parish school. In Fall River, in that era, there were 27 parishes. It was a very strong Catholic community. We had a very good grammar school and then I went to the public high school where my father taught and it was a rigorous education at the Durfee High School. And I always felt that I was very lucky to have had the educational background that I received in Fall River and I came to Holy Cross in the fall of 1951, very prepared for the rigors of Holy Cross' education. Bridget Power: Do you remember your first time visiting Holy Cross when your dad had gone to Holy Cross? Judge Harrington: My first memory of Holy Cross was in 1942. I was at Fenway Park in the great football game between Boston College and Holy Cross. At that date, Boston College was the number one football team in America. Holy Cross had a lackluster season. However, Holy Cross beat Boston College at Fenway Park in November of 1942, just after the war started, 55-12, in the greatest upset in the history of New England Sports. That was my first connection with Holy Cross, although it was in Boston in Fenway Park. I think the first time I came here although my father used to come up to football games, I came here in I think 1950 to meet some of the officials here to see if I could get in to Holy Cross in the next year. John Markey: Judge, that 55-12 game was that the famous Coconut Grove fire game, if you want to just tell us a little bit of that story afterwards? The great thing on behalf of Boston College, Boston College if they had won that game, were going to celebrate at the Coconut Grove Nightclub in Boston. Because of their devastating defeat, they called off the celebratory dinner that evening. However, 500 people died in a fire that night at the Coconut Grove Nightclub, at that time, the biggest arson type of damage in the history of the United States. So in a way Boston College and the people who were their fans were saved for not going to the Coconut Grove, which is still... I don't think it's ever been... There's been no fire since, I believe, that's ever come close maybe in the United States. John Markey: Judge, you mentioned growing up in Florida with lots of books in the house either from your parents are from your aunts who are also teachers. Do you recall particular books that they encouraged you to read or books that you read during your middle school or high school years that were formative or authors that you liked? Judge Harrington: Well, I think my two most influential authors from high school and also here at Holy Cross was William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair, the great Victorian novel and Boswell's Johnson. I've always been fascinated with Johnson, what they call him, the great robust common French philosopher who taught everybody who read them closely that the privilege of education is to see things as they are. I think Thackeray and Johnson were my greatest influences both in high school and here at Holy Cross. John Markey: You also mentioned, Judge, that sports and politics in Fall River and in your family were things that were focuses of your life as a younger person growing up. Could you tell us a little bit about why politics was important to you and also any examples of lessons you learned in sports? Judge Harrington: Well, I think in politics, my grandfather was a politician. I think I've indicated that the reason my father came to Holy Cross is that in the early part of the last century, my grandfather served in the House of Representatives in Boston and he was a close associate of Governor David I. Walsh. David I. Walsh was a graduate of Holy Cross (1893) and was the first Catholic governor of Massachusetts. I believe he was elected in 1914 during the heart of the Progressive Era. My grandfather, who I don't believe he got out of grammar school, but was a very formidable politician and a person who was very interested in running, he was very impressed with the culture and the knowledge of Progressive Era. His erudition impressed my grandfather greatly, and as a result, he decided to send his son, my father, here the Holy Cross because he felt that if any place could turn out someone like Governor Walsh, he'd like his son to be exposed to that education. John Markey: How about on the side of sports and character development that that had for you at Durfee High School? Judge Harrington: Well, I was an average athlete, very average. I played three sports, partly because my father was not only a Latin teacher but he was an assistant coach in various spots so I always got a suit. But Durfee was a powerhouse in the days I was there. And I had the opportunity to play, usually on the bench but at least in practice to play with some of the great athletes. We had Henry Nolga, Andy Faricy, Joe Andrews, Tommy Gastall who were known all over the state and sports teacher won a lot. You realized that there's somebody always better than you are. And I think sports teacher teaches you that you lose more than you win. You don't win all games and you don't win every battle in life. And sports were a great teacher. As I indicated, I grew up in a Irish-American culture, if that's what you call it. But sports and politics and education and religion were part of the atmosphere. John Markey: Judge, when you came to Holy Cross, the culture of the place or kind of the mission of the place at that point, an all boys school or all men were here, what was the overall lesson that kind of the leader- Judge Harrington: Well, it was kind of a... In those days, we had an honors course and I was lucky and very fortunate to be a part of that. We had top students from all over the country. The competition was great. On the other hand, it was a rough house school. A bunch of guys, all horsing around. It was enjoyable. The studying was hard. It was rigorous. I loved it because I enjoyed studying. I really did. On the other hand, the sports were great. Not only the major sports for the school, Holy Cross was a top team in three sports. While I was here, we won the NCAA in baseball and won the NIT in basketball. But the competition in intramurals was tremendous too. Thinking back, what I got out of it was a great education. A liberal arts education which exposed the student to all the channels of culture, not only English literature, but art and philosophy and the classics and the drama. When we came here, we weren't thinking or at least I wasn't thinking that I'm coming here for a job. I wasn't even thinking what I was going to do. To expand my life, to live not an intellectual life but a life concerned with trying to find out the truth, to follow your conscience as best you could, to learn so as to develop your capacities, wherever they may be, so that you could pay back, that you could make some contribution to the society and I guess in which you lived. Bridget Power: Were there any teachers or mentors or Jesuits here who really impacted your life during those four years that you spent here? Judge Harrington: Well of course. I remember Father Ahearn who taught me Latin. Latin was a great discipline for sharpening the mind. You had to think hard to understand Latin and also it was a great basis for the understanding of grammar in the English language. Father Bean taught rhetoric. Second year was opened up. I remember we had the Lincoln Douglas debates as an example of rhetorical law or rhetorical brilliance. And there was a Father Heron who taught ethics which to me was maybe one of the greatest courses I ever had. It brought together Aristotelian philosophy with Aquinas' infusion, Aristotle's philosophy with the Christian religion, which gave one a strong basis for how one should live their lives. Those are three names that... I'm sure there are others. John Markey: Were there any of the teachers or Jesuits who spoke to you about recommendations regarding your career choices that you would be making after college? Judge Harrington: Yeah, there was. Father Kelleher, who previously had been the president of Boston College was my Cardinal-Prefect. And in those days we had orals, philosophy orals at the end of the year. And I did fairly well on the oral of both my third and fourth year. And I remember Father Kelleher came to see me one night and he told me that he had been following my scholastic career and that he thought I had, the way he put it, he said, "You haven't got a creative mind," he said, "but you have an acute intelligence and you should consider becoming a lawyer." Well, I wasn't thinking too much of what I was going to do because I was going to... I was NROTC here at Holy Cross and I was going in the Navy and so I figured I wouldn't have to worry about what I was going to do for a couple years. But a couple of years later, when I was getting out of the Navy, I recalled Father Kelleher, his advice and decided to go to law school, even though I had not given any thought prior to going to law school. I said I'll try it out. And it was a fortunate choice. John Markey: In your couple of years in the Navy, what were the formative experiences of that part of your career in life? Judge Harrington: I think responsibility. You go from a guy here at Holy Cross, pouring water on guys out the window or getting in fistfights over matters of juvenilia, I guess you'd call it and then you'll find yourself on the folks all over destroyer and you got all these guys looking up at you saying, "Who's this Bob? He's walking around with a uniform. He's never been to sea. Why are you with the chief?" Wow. You had to give orders to a group of sailors, a whole bunch of tough guys. Really, for the first time in my life, I felt a sense of... That I had to carry out orders and impose orders with a great education. I enjoyed the Navy and if I was any good at science, I think I might have stayed but even in those days, it was getting highly intricate, highly technical to run guns and to navigate, shoot off torpedoes or bomb subs. It wasn't my inclination. And that's one thing I've learned that people should do what they were inclined to do because I think that they do better at it.  I realized I didn't have the scientific proclivity to stay in the Navy, because if I had I would have because it's a great adventure. You're out there in gales, storms, going ashore in foreign countries. It's exhilarating. But I didn't have the qualities for it. John Markey: Judge, you had previously told me a story about the interaction when you were in the Navy with one of your favorite writers. I don't know Bridget knows the story of you down in Cuba meeting or interacting or seeing Ernest Hemingway when you were in the Navy. Judge Harrington: Yeah, that's right. I read Hemingway here. One of the courses I took as a senior was Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Faulkner, Sherwood Anderson, the writers of the '20s and '30s which I had never read because in high school and in college up until my senior year, you were reading the Victorian authors, the romantic poets. But the last year, I took the 20th century novel. And I read the Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls and Farewell Toms as well as a lot of stuff by Fitzgerald. And I ended up, when I left Holy Cross on a destroyer out of Key West, where Hemingway spent the '30s. And then this was pre-Castro. We used to go to Havana every two months. And I was always seeking out Hemingway at his famous bar room called La Floridita. And I'd been there seven or eight times I never saw him. Then one time, I just stumbled in there and there he is. The great Hemingway sitting in the corner. I sat there for an hour trying to get the courage to go over and say halo to him, but I was too shy. I'm glad you brought it up, because the last couple of months, I've been reading his short stories again. Sometimes he was a macho guy, but he had the soul of a poet hidden, hidden behind his bravado. Very, very sensitive person. I wish I had spoken to him. Bridget Power: Gramps, didn't you see him another time? Didn't you see him another time? Judge Harrington: Well, I did. Not personally, but in 1954, I went on my... As I said, I was a NROTC here at Holy Cross and we went on a Midshipman cruise at the end of our junior year. It was a great cruise. We went to Canada and then we went to Havana. Then we went to Guantanamo. And one Sunday afternoon in Havana harbor, this was 1954, as you know, pre-Castro, there were 13 ships in the harbor and the PA system said, "The American writer, Ernest Hemingway, is circling the harbor in his yacht. And he wants to salute the American fleet." And so, here he is. He's only a writer. But he was so celebrated that all the sailors, they even knew of him. And they all flocked the fan tail of all the ships. And there were 13 or 14 ships and Hemingway was standing on his yacht with a glass of rum in his hand saluting the chief. He got the most tremendous cheer. And if you remember, this was August of 1954. Hemingway had crashed twice in Africa on two days in a row in an airplane. And his death was reported all over the world. Like The New York Times would say, "Hemingway dies in plane crash in Uganda," or one of those countries over there. I can't remember which one. He had just returned from Africa because he was laid up in a hospital for a long time. And so here he is, back in Havana where he lived and he wanted to salute the American fleet and he got a tremendous ovation because he was such a celebrated figure that even the sailors, I'm sure most of them had not read about him, but they had heard of him because he was such an adventurer, and they gave such a tremendous cheer. I'll never forget it. Bridget Power: What was it like transitioning from the Navy and going to law school? Judge Harrington: Well, I'll tell you this. Well, the normal deflation, you're an officer, you're a big shot, you're running guys on the foxhole, you tell them what to do and then you were a student again. It was somewhat deflated. But the education that I received here at Holy Cross, the ability to read and to write clearly and the ability to think vigorously made law school so much easier than college. I found law school, I wouldn't say a breeze but I just happened to be... I found my field. I had an inclination towards it. And because of the background I received here at Holy Cross, it was a relatively easy process. When I think back, I got married just before I went to law school. I must have been an optimist because by the time I got out of law school, I had your uncle Johnny and your mother. I don't know how we lived. I'm glad my father used to send $30 a month to get us by but law school was relatively easy. I enjoyed it. Bridget Power: And then you went to Washington? Judge Harrington: Yeah. Well, I got out in 1960 from law school and I became a law clerk for the chief judge of the Massachusetts Superior Court from 1960 to '61. And then, I went to Washington when that term was up in 1961. And had the good fortune to be a part of the United States Department of Justice. Bridget Power: Going back to your time in Washington grandpa, I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about... This was civil rights activity was happening, organized crime, you can talk about what your role was. Judge Harrington: Well, I was, again, very fortunate to be selected as one of approximately 15 attorneys to be a member of the so-called Hoffa investigations which was a prime concern of the Attorney General. The Attorney General felt that James Hoffa, the leader of the Teamsters Union, was a corrupt labor official who had close contact with the syndicate. And as a result, being a member of that so-called Hoffa squad, I was able to be involved in grand juries conducted all over the United States, especially in Miami, Louisville, in Chicago. And so I got a lot of practice in the conduct of grand juries and trials. And also in 1964, the members of that so-called Hoffa squad were charged by Attorney General Kennedy to go to Mississippi during the so-called long hot summer of 1964 to help protect the rights of the civil rights volunteers who are going to Mississippi to conduct freedom schools. You recall that a year later, in 1965, the Voting Rights Act of '65 was enacted. This was in preparation for that. John Markey: And then, Judge, you had mentioned that the award you received is named after Edward Bennett Williams. At one point during your work with the organized crime force, did you have the opportunity to have a trial against or in which you participated in Attorney Williams- Judge Harrington: Yeah, in 1964 there was a case called United States versus Alderisio. Phil Alderisio was a hoodlum out of Chicago. And we were in Miami on and off for a year in an investigation against Santo Trafficante. Trafficante was the mob boss of Florida and he ran the rackets in Havana, Cuba prior to Castro. The grand jury could never get sufficient evidence on Trafficante, but we came up with Phil Alderisio. Ed Williams was the most celebrated trial lawyer of that era and he was Alderisio's lawyer. I only occupied the second seat. I wasn't the main lawyer. I was doing the research, the legal briefs and the legal research but I was still nervous because it was my first big trial. I went to the men's room and I heard someone regurgitating and it was... Ed Williams emerged.  had known him a little because he always at the Department of Justice with some of his clients. And I had known him through this. And I said, "Are you feeling sick?" And he said, "My stomach gets upset always before trial." And as I indicated maybe to you, I used to get angry at myself because I used to get nervous before trials. I said, "I'm not going to chastise myself anymore. If Ed Williams, the greatest lawyer in America gets a nervous stomach, well I shouldn't be too tough on myself." He went out a half hour later and he was a brilliant speaker. Excellent. What a beautiful speaker and great presence, great tone. He'd fill the court room. But a half hour before, he was throwing up. It's amazing. But to be named after Williams, as I indicated before, he not only was a great trial lawyer, he was as his biographer said, a man to see. He was, along with Clark Clifford, the most influential lawyer in DC. Everybody knew him, everybody wanted him as a lawyer. And you could see why he was. He had presence. He had presence. John Markey: What role did Holy Cross play in getting you connected with the people who could get your career started with the department of justice? Judge Harrington: Well, Ed Hanify was a graduate of Holy Cross (1933). There's a forum here named after Ed's father (class of 1904), The Hanify Lectures. He was able to, through his great influence, and he was the most influential lawyer I would say in New England at the era. He was John Kennedy's private lawyer. He was a man of great, great influence. In fact, some people say that if Jack Kennedy had a second term, Ed Hanify was slated to go to the Supreme Court. He was able to... He was my sponsor, because I went to Holy Cross. And he knew Judge Reardon who I served under at the Massachusetts Superior Court. He was my sponsor to get me to become a member of the Department of Justice in 1961, which was a great opportunity. Because if you read the history of the new frontier, the Kennedy administration, an awful lot of the activity of that administration was generated at the Department of Justice. Ed Hanify was the one who was able to get me to become a member. That was a great boost to my career and what would be approximately 26 years later. Ed Hanify who is the managing partner at Ropes & Gray, still, I believe, went to Washington on my behalf in 1987 to advocate my confirmation before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which was a great boost, because if you know, 1987 was the controversy over Justice Bork. And the contentions between the parties was very intense. Hanify's appearance there, and the prestige that he possessed was very influential in my being confirmed by a democratic controlled Senate for a republican appointee. I was appointed or nominated by Reagan. But the Senate was controlled by the Democrats and the tensions between the parties over the Bork debacle was very intense. Bridget Power: You came back to Massachusetts after a couple years in Washington. Can you talk about what you did? Judge Harrington: Well there's another Holy Cross connection. I went to Washington because of Ed Hanify. And I came back to Boston because of Arthur Garrity (Class of 1941). Arthur Garrity was the United States Attorney for Massachusetts in 1965. I was in Washington, approximately four years. But Robert Kennedy left main justice in September of '64 to go to New York to run for Senate. And so the people who were the so-called Kennedy people in the Johnson administration were peeling off and leaving because our influence had diminished after Jack Kennedy was assassinated and when Bobby left main justice. Arthur Garrity hired me primarily because I went to Holy Cross. Arthur Garrity was class of '41, Ed Williams' class. And just as an aside, when I went on to the district court for the District of Massachusetts, I replaced Andrew Caffrey, class of '41 at Holy Cross. But Arthur Garrity did two things for me. He brought me back to Boston to be a member of the United States Attorney's Office and there were only 15 assistants. It was a prestigious position. Now they have 150 assistant US attorneys. In those days, they were only 15. If you ever got into the US attorney's office, as I did at the behest of Arthur Garrity, you had great prestige. And then 25 years later again, I'm going through the Senate judiciary hearing for my confirmation. I'm a republican appointee in a body that's controlled by the Democrats. They're not giving me a hearing because of the Bork situation. Arthur Garrity, a democrat calls Ted Kennedy and asks Ted to see what he could do to get me a hearing. Well, because of the relationship between Arthur Garrity and Ted Kennedy, Ted not only got me a hearing, he got me a 14-0 to confirm me. But both by going to the department, by becoming an assistant US Attorney and being confirmed as a United States district judge for the district of Massachusetts, all were caused by Ed Hanify Holy Cross, Arthur Garrity Holy Cross, because I was a graduate of this great school. John Markey: During the 1970s, you had a tenure as the United States Attorney for the district of Massachusetts. What were your priorities and experiences from that time period that you'd like to share just as experiences when you held that position? Judge Harrington: Well, the job of the US Attorney's throughout the United States, they carry out the policy of the administration. During the time that I was an assistant US attorney, organized crime was a major focus of the Department of Justice under the Kennedy administration. When I came back in the '70s, Jimmy Carter was the president. And the policy of the Department of Justice at that time was white collar crime and public corruption. Although there was still some interest in organized crime, the focus shifted to public corruption and especially political corruption. It's a very difficult area to operate in because you make a lot of enemies. But the Carter administration really was the first administration that stressed public corruption. And it was an exhilarating time. But as a result, when you left the office, you didn't have too many friends. Bridget Power: Gramps, then you decided to run for elected office. Can you talk about what motivated you to do that? Judge Harrington: I don't know what I think of it. As they say, I ran. I'm a footnote Massachusetts history. I ran in 1974 for Attorney General, as a Democrat. I ran in 1986 as a Republican and got beat both times. And so the reason I saw people, a lot of wags say, the reason they put me on the court because they say, "The guy's going to run as a communist next time. So let's get rid of this guy and put him on the court." I don't know... I enjoyed public affairs. As I say, one Irishman didn't, we were brought up in that atmosphere. Politics was if we were talking sports, we're talking politics. I figured I'd give it a try. And that was very enjoyable. In fact, I was living in Portsmouth, Rhode Island in the summertime, where I've lived for my whole life. And my father would go around to get some of my children to distribute brochures and they hated it. And I got beat pretty badly but forced against that will lay and distribute political literature. I wish my children had done better in distributing the brochures because I got beat badly on both occasions. But that's the great thing about sports. You got to know how to lose in sports and in politics. You're going to take it and you've got to be a good sport about it. If you get beat, shake the guy's hand. Bridget Power: Can you talk a little bit about what it's been like to be a judge in Massachusetts, what that experience was like? I know you've been senior status for a while, but... Judge Harrington: Well, all I can say, being a judge brings all your qualities and your experiences together. Especially on the federal court, you get a wide expanse of cases towards contracts, anti-trust, patent, copyright, tax. So you have to be somewhat versatile. It's an intellectual job. It's exciting intellectually. And when you're an active judge, which I no longer am, I'm just a senior judge who just does mediations part-time, but you've got a docket of 500 cases. Every day, you're making 20 to 25 decisions and it's all I could say. It's intellectually exhilarating. The toughest part of the job is sentencing people. When you're a prosecutor, all you can think about is convicting someone and imposing the best you can get, meaning the toughest sentence. That's your attitude. When you're a judge and you have to impose a sentence, you're much more sensitive and I found from being a tough prosecutor to being a more compassionate person as a judge than I was, as a trial lawyer. Maybe I got older, but I treated the imposition of sentence, with much more sensitivity than I ever expected it for myself and a lot of my adversaries expected from me. It's really... When you sit there and you have the determination in your hands whether somebody is going to do five years or 10 years, it's a grave responsibility and it makes you more sensitive. Bridget Power: As a judge, you had a lot of law clerks, including John. Can you talk about what it means to be a mentor what you saw as your role? Judge Harrington: Well, I never thought I was a mentor. I know this. That to be a law clerk as John was, you had to be pretty high in your class in law school. I found myself that I was taught an awful lot. I don't mean this in false modesty. The law clerks I had were all brilliant people and they taught me an awful lot. Because as a practicing lawyer, I did primarily criminal law and personal liability. But when you go on the federal bench, you have, as I indicated, a vast array of disciplines that you've had really little experience in. So you need the input from the law clerks because they're all very, very smart. And I've always said that I believe and I believe this truly, that I was taught more by my law clerks than I ever taught them. Bridget Power: Currently, grandpa, you're 86 years old and you work part time as a mediator. Can you talk about what that is like for you? I know it brings you a lot of joy. Judge Harrington: It brings me joy. And it's a great... It gives you an opportunity to resolve a dispute. That's the purpose of law, isn't it? To resolve disputes. Well, when you go to a mediation hearing, you will have briefs from both sides. You understand the facts. You understand the law and you try to show each side the strengths and weaknesses of their case in order to bring them closer together. And you are the impartial arbitrator. You can't decide the case but you hope by your experience and insight, that you can give an objective view as to the merits of the case and what it's worth. You find that you can be successful and it's a great vehicle for the resolution of disputes. John Markey: Judge, if you want to give someone who's a Holy Cross student now or a recent graduate thinking of becoming a lawyer, advice on what you think would help them have a successful legal career, what are the skills, character traits, etc advice you'd give them? Judge Harrington: Well, first of all, you got to be studious in whatever avenue you take. As we know, education is a lifetime process. All you get really are the interest and the tools going to school. But you have to be studious throughout your whole life. Trying to find out what is truthful, what is the right thing to do? That's the first thing you got to be. I think you should go as I hinted before going to something that you will have a natural proclivity towards because if you have a natural proclivity, you're apt to be able to do it better. Which is like I indicated, I love the navy because it was a rough life. It was enjoyable being at sea. But I didn't have the capabilities of being the scientific background to what? To make an impact. Second thing, you have to do what you want to do, which you get joy out of. You're going to spend a lot of time working. You got to enjoy it. Some times, I think the worst thing that could happen to anybody through miscalculation, you get into a job that you don't like because you going to spend most of your life at work. So you have to be a person of character, you have to be a thinker and you have to enjoy your work. Whatever. And here's the other thing. I got a lot of breaks in life by being a member of the Holy Cross family through Ed Hanify and Arthur Garrity. People have to help you. You can't do much by yourself. And so, you have to pay back. I think the greatest joy, it seems a cliche to say but it is, the great joy you get in life is to serve others. If you can help other people. First of all your family, help them and then other people. And then you've got to respect people. Just because you're a judge, you're no better than anybody else. Everybody is doing their job and everything's important. My father taught me that. He said, "Just because a guy doesn't know Latin, that doesn't mean anything. He could fix a car. Can you fix a car?" No. I can't even open the hood. I can't. My father couldn't. We were just bookish guys. We couldn't do anything. That's why I'm wondering where I am today. I can't even make a ham sandwich. That's true. This guys who do things. My father, he had a great rapport with the so-called regular guys. These regular guys are smart. They could do things you can't do. So never think you're a big shot. Show respect to people. That's all I can say. Bridget Power: You mentioned your dad, Grandpa, I think great grandpa Harrington came to Holy Cross in 1924 (John J. Harringon, class of 1928). Our family's been here for almost 100 years. Jackie is a current student, my cousin Jackie. Judge Harrington: Yup. Bridget Power: Is that right? Judge Harrington: We've had 17 family members here, over four generations. My brother Johnny was a brilliant guy (Class of 1958). My brother Johnny, he was a down to earth guy. He was a great medical thinker. He loved Holy Cross. My brother Dan went here (Class of 1960). My brother Dan, he wasn't an intellectual like Johnny was, but he was a sole practitioner. He was a great diagnostician. I run into people at Fall River today talking about my brother Dan. They were regular guys. They were studious guys. They loved Holy Cross. I've been lucky. I had a great family, which is most important. I had a great wife. Bridget Power: Gramps, last question. You're an avid reader. What are you reading these days? Judge Harrington: Well, I just happen to be saying I've been reading this last book I've reading, Hemingway Short Stories. I read The Education of Henry Adams which taught me once again that he named his autobiography, The Education, letting us all know that education doesn't stop when you get your diploma. What else have I read? I've read Rasselas by Johnson. You should read that. Have you ever read it? Bridget Power: No. Judge Harrington: It told you one thing, that you never achieve full satisfaction here on Earth. It's almost conforms with the Catholic religion because of the spirituality of the soul. That material things cannot satisfy you. That whatever you search for, you're usually not going to receive or if you do, it doesn't satisfy you. I read Rasselas once every few years because I think Johnson was a great, great thinker and he taught me one thing. He said, "Read biography," that was one of his injunctions. "Read biography to see how other people have managed the trials, the triumphs, the tribulations of life. See how they've handled it." And so I always try every few weeks to get a biography of someone have to see how they've managed their life. Hopefully, it'll guide me in mine. Maura Sweeney: That's our show.

Classic Thom Hartman...listen!

Intriguing! Have a listen...

Seventeen year old Danny Goldman was a senior at Miami Beach High School approaching both graduation and his eighteenth birthday. A smart young man from a well to do family who split his days between repairing electronics and spending time with his girlfriend. The future offered so many possibilities.Sadly, Danny wouldn't see that future. On March 28th, the day before his eighteenth birthday, an unknown gunman entered the family home and demanded $10,000. When they didn't have that cash in the house, the man took Danny with him and said he'd call later to arrange a ransom. The man never called and Danny was never seen again.The initial investigation didn't discover much and soon the case began growing cold and fading from the spotlight. It wouldn't be until 46 years later than a team of volunteer investigators would break open incredible information suggesting that Danny's abduction may had connections to the mafia under Santo Trafficante, a corrupt Sheriff's department and even Danny's own girlfriend's father.Was this a case of a random crime or one which involved mafia associates, corrupt law enforcement officers and even the head of the mafia in South Florida?For more information on this case, visit: https://surfsidekidnapping.org/site/Use promo code TRACE19 for 10% off a standard pass to CrimeCon!

Delving into the Tampa Mafia, had its reign from the 1920’s up until the early 2000’s.

At the Warren Committee hearings, looking into the deaths of Fidel Castro and JFK, Santo Trafficante kept his lips sealed. And yet the connections kept coming up. Trafficante had every reason to want to kill the man who had shut down his Cuban casinos - but had the CIA really ordered him to assassinate Castro? And what exactly was his connection to Jack Ruby?   Our sponsor for this episode is the [Black Tux](theblacktux.com/mafia).   Mafia's theme is "Spellbound Hell" by [Damiano Baldoni](damianobaldoni.altervista.org).

Far from the big-name mob territories of New York and Chicago, the mafia scene in Tampa, Florida was of a smaller scale. That is, until Santo Trafficante used his influence and geographic advantage to turn Cuba in a gambling paradise. His smooth-talking demeanor made him fast friends with powerful officials, making life easy street - until he was betrayed.   Our sponsors for this episode are Indochino ([indochino.com](indochino.com) PROMO: MAFIA) and eLiquid ([eliquid.com/mafia](eliquid.com/mafia) or PROMO: MAFIA).  Mafia's theme is "Spellbound Hell" by [Damiano Baldoni](damianobaldoni.altervista.org).
