In the early hours of June 20, 1947, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel
had returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, where he had just
completed talks with other West Coast syndicate bosses on expanding
gambling and prostitution interests in Las Vegas and the rest of the
West Coast. The recently opened, lavish Flamingo Hotel had just
begun to flourish in Las Vegas, and had cleared some $300,000 in the
month of May. But Siegel made one big mistake. He siphoned off
some $500,000 in syndicate funds for his own personal use, got caught
and arrogantly refused to pay it back. In the afternoon Siegel
returned to his rented Beverly Hills mansion with a friend, Allen
Smiley. He had just finished consulting with his lawyer and
visited his favorite barber shop.
At 10:45 P.M. the pair were relaxing in the living room when a
series of shots from a .30 caliber carbine, fired by an assassin
standing in the bushes outside the living room window, blasted
through the room. One bullet tore through Siegel's head, ripping
his eye and tossing it across the room. Four more slugs struck his
body, cracking his ribs and puncturing his lungs. Three more missed,
shattering objects around the room and burying themselves in the wall.
At the first shot, Smiley dived to the floor and escaped injury.
But Bugsy Siegel had finally become what some often refer to as "A
GOOD JEWISH BOY."
The American people have been led to believe that the crime
syndicate in America is strictly an Italian affair. Our Jewized
entertainment media has produced countless films and TV shows
depicting Italo-Americans as the masters of the syndicate. But a
closer look reveals that Jews, not Italians, founded and financed
the syndicate in the early days before Prohibition.
In the days before prohibition the underworld consisted mainly
of ethnic street gangs and "social clubs." These gangs were mostly
confined to certain neighborhoods in the large cities, and their
activities were anything from hired terrorism to small-time gambling
and prostitution. But before prohibition there was no national
crime syndicate and hardly any organization at all in the underworld.
The man most responsible for the formation of the crime
syndicate on the East Coast was the Jewish gambler and financier
Arnold Rothstein. Rothstein "fixed" the 1919 World Series by
bribing key members of the Chicago White Sox to "throw" games. He
also financed the organized illegal importation of liquor from
Europe and Canada when Prohibition came on the scene in 1920.
During the 1920's Rothstein's empire grew when he learned to
organize thugs to work for him and enforce his policies. He was
the first gangster to take full control of an entire city through
bribery of public officials and police personnel. It was
Rothstein who made the first peace agreement between rival gangs
in New York in the 1920s.
His number one enforcer was a WW I deserter imported from
Philadelphia: Jack "Legs" Diamond, another Jew. Diamond served
Rothstein well and was eventually "cut in" for a sizable portion
of Rothstein's bootleging, gambling and prostitution empire.
It was about that time that another rising Jewish mobster named
Arthur Flegenheimer (Dutch Schultz) along with still another Jew,
Louis "Lepke" Buchalter, began to "muscle in" on Rothstein and
Diamond. Schultz wanted a bigger cut into the bootleg beer racket,
while Buchalter was after New York's garment district extortion
racket. In the war that followed Rothstein was killed by "Nigger
Nate" Raymond when he welshed on a $320,000 gambling debt in 1928.
Rothstein groomed Meyer Lansky, a Russian Jewish immigrant, for
stardom in organized crime. Lansky along with the aforementioned
Bugsy Siegel, teamed up with Italians Charles "Lucky" Luciano and
Vito Genovese to help Schultz and Buchalter kill Diamond in 1931.
Even before Diano Diamond's murder, Lansky proved that he had
learned his lessons well from Rothstein, who always said there was
no need for gangsters to kill each other when there was always plenty
to go around for everyone. He settled arguments among rival factions
of the syndicate peacefully whenever possible. But he allowed Lepke
Buchalter and Bugsy Siegel to found the syndicate police force which
would later become famous as "Murder, Inc." The ranks of "Murder,
Inc.," as Commander Rockwell pointed out in "White Power," were
almost totally Jewish. Many of their victims were trussed up with
wire and hung upside down with their throats slashed "kosher style."
It was Lansky who organized the first binding gang affiliation
known as "The Combination" including not only his own Jew-dominated
New York outfit, but also bosses from the New England states and
Cleveland, Ohio as well. The members of "The Combination" included
the Jew Charles "King" Solomon of the Boston mob, plus gang leader
Morris Kleinmann, Jewish leader of the Cleveland mob. This
arrangement worked well for Lansky and left him at the top of the
heap of organized crime in the East in the late 1920s. His subtle
methods of handling his own troops and the politicians helped
make the syndicate what it is today.
In Chicago, as in New York and other cities, the early gangs
were loaded down with Jews. But unlike New York, Chicago mobsters
just could not seem to get together and settle things peacefully.
Chicago, after the early 1920s, was divided into two spheres of
influence. The North Side, which was controlled by the Dion
O'Banion gang, and the south Side was left to the Capone mob. But
one interesting fact must be brought to light here: The "brains"
of both organizations were not Irishmen or Italians, but Jews!
The North side O'Banion gang was really run by a Jew named Jack
Zuta. Zuta, a "genius" with money figures, was adept at "fixing
things" with city hall. On the South side, the Capone gang mentor
was a Russian Jew by the name of Jake Guzik. Guzik was a
particularly repulsive Jew who got his start in crime as a white
slaver. Guzik, along with his brother and sister-in-law, would
entice farm girls to come to the big city for a promising "career."
When the girls arrived, the Guziks raped them, got them hooked on
narcotics, then sold them to the whoremasters in Chicago's infamous
Levee district. Which was also run by Jews.
In the early 1900's, Chicago's underworld consisted mostly of
prostitution and gambling, and confined mostly to the Levee district,
the First Ward. "Big Jim" Colosimo ran the Levee district, but was
not as ambitious as the likes of Arnold Rothstein and his New York
crowd. Big Jim often fell prey to a small group of "Black Handers,"
who extorted money from him, even though he hired some of the most
vicious killers in Chicago to protect him. In 1910 he summoned his
nephew, Jonny Torrio, from New York to wipe out his tormentors.
Torrio was also acquainted with Arnold Rothstein and led the
notorious "Five Points Gang" in New York. The gang hired out to
anyone who would pay them enough to bomb, beat, or murder. Shortly
after Torrio's arrival the "Black Handers" had been "taken care of"
and Big Jim was so pleased with Torrio that he made him his number
two man in his organization.
It was during the second decade of this century that Torrio began
to deal with Jake and Harry Guzik, who supplied many of the girls
for Big Jim's brothels. Harry Guzik, the least intelligent of the
brothers, remained in the prostitution racket. Brother Jack, however,
worked his way up the ladder and became the chief accountant and
financier of the Colosimo mob.
In 1920 Torrio and Guzik wanted to expand the gang's operations
from gambling and prostitution to include bootleging and importing
illegal liquor, a field that they felt would make them millions and
catapult them not only to a new found wealth, but also immense power.
But Big Jim was getting old and soft and was content to keep what he
had. His brothels were flourishing and he opened the most plush
night club in the Mid-west. Colosimo's Cafe, at 2616 South Wabash
Ave. Chicago's social elite dined side by side with top mobsters at
Colosimo's Cafe. But it soon would be all over for Big Jim, as
Torrio and Guzik decided that he had to "go."
Torrio sent for a small-time hood in New York who worked as a
bouncer in a saloon owned by the "Five Points Gang" and was
currently willing to leave town to avoid arrest on a murder rap.
The hood was to be the gunman who would "hit" Big Jim Colosimo.
His name was Al Capone.
On May 11, 1920, Torrio called his uncle and told him that a
shipment of whiskey would be delivered to the cafe that afternoon
promptly at 4:00 P.M. But Big Jim would have to sign for it
personally. Colosimo was there, waiting in the vestibule of his
club precisely at that time. Capone was hiding at that moment in
a glass-paneled telephone booth. He fired two shots through it,
when Colosimo passed him. The first bullet entering Big Jim's head
behind his right ear, the second slamming into a wall. Big Jim
toppled heavily to the floor, face down, dead. Capone rushed from
his hiding spot, turned the corpse over, ripped open his jacket
and withdrew his money-crammed wallet and fled.
During the 1920s the two major gangs in Chicago often fought
pitched battles in the streets. Torrio, after an attempt had been
made on his life, could stand no more, and left Chicago for Italy
in 1925. He hid there for three years until Mussolini threatened
to "parade him through the streets of Rome in an animal cage" if
he caught him. Shortly thereafter, Torrio returned to New York,
but was never again a major factor in organized crime. Capone
then took over the South side gang with Guzik as his right-hand man
and bookkeeper.
On February 14, 1929, the feud between the North and South side
gangs in Chicago came to an abrupt end. Capone imported gunmen and
dressed them like policemen and arranged for the main members of
the North side gang to be at the S.M.C. Cartage Co. warehouse to
receive what they thought was a large shipment of whiskey. The
"police" entered the warehouse, lining the gangsters up against the
rear wall, disarming them and then filling them full of machine
gun bullets.
It is interesting to note the fact that Capone and Guzik knew
the main cogs of the North side bunch would be at the warehouse
that morning. The Hollywood set would like us to believe that the
gang was comprised of Irishmen and Italians only. BUT OF THE SEVEN
MEN KILLED in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, SIX WERE JEWS! The
only non-Jew that morning was John May, the gang's mechanic. Bugs
Moran, who had recently taken over leadership of the gang, escaped
when he spotted the police vehicles parked in front of the warehouse.
But why should Moran, a top gangster, be afraid of a few cops who
happened to be nosing around his warehouse. It is common knowledge
that the Chicago police were then {and still are} on the payroll
of the crime syndicate. Moran left town after that, possibly from
fear, or possibly because he knew something that his unfortunate
cohorts did not know the morning of February 14, 1929. Moran died
of cancer in 1957.
After wiping out the North siders the Capone mob became
undisputed masters of the Chicago underworld. But the mass murder
on St. Valentine's Day enraged the decent citizens of Chicago to
such a degree that even the crooked politicians agreed that
something had to be done. Guzik already had the wheels of treachery
turning.
On May 9th, 1929 at the President Hotel on the Broadwalk in
Atlantic City, New Jersey, the first meeting of what was to become
the organization of the national crime syndicate took place. The
meeting was organized by Meyer Lansky of New York, and was attended
by Al Capone and Jake Guzik of Chicago, Dutch Schultz, Lucky Luciano
and Lepke Buchalter of New York, Abe Bernstein of Detriot's "Purple
Gang," Moe Dalitz of Cleveland, and Max Hoff and Nig Rosen of
Philadelphia. All agreed to co-operate in controlling national
bootleging and gambling under mutually equitable regulations. It
is interesting to note that ONLY CAPONE and LUCIANO WERE {so-called}
GENTILES, whereas the rest of the founders of the national crime
syndicate being Jewish!
After the Atlantic City conference peace settled over the
underworld. The New York branch was controlled by Lansky and Luciano.
In Chicago, it was Capone and Guzik. In other smaller cities the
syndicate was controlled by men who were NOT Italians, Irishmen,
BUT JEWS! All the Jews had to do was get rid of Capone and Luciano
and the syndicate would be totally in the hand of the Jews, at least
all of the top levels. Even the syndicate police force, Murder, Inc.,
was run by Bugsy Siegel and Lepke Buchalter. Only a few key figures
in the entire upper strata of the organized crime syndicate in
America were not Jewish. Most of the {so-called} Gentile members
of the syndicate were employed as enforcers, hitmen, or bagmen, etc.
In 1932 the government began going after the kingpins of the
syndicate. Unable to pin any murders or any other illegal activities
on the "big shots" who covered their tracks too well, they used a
new angle: Income Tax Evasion. After a few trial cases in which some
gangsters were given short sentences or fines, Al Capone was put
"on the spot." But in order to get Capone's books and records
{which would show his income} they needed an "in." Now guess who had
all of the records of the Capone syndicate at his disposal? Jake
{the Jew} Guzik, that's who!
After a long trial, Al thought that he too would be given a
light sentence. But poor Al just didn't realize how close his
trusted Jewish associates and lawyers stuck together, whether they
work above or below ground. So, much to his surprise, Capone was
sentenced to eleven years in prison. This left Guzik at the top of
the heap in Chicago, a position he held until his death in the late
1950s. Now only one more "big shot" had to be taken care of to fully
complete Jewizing of the national crime syndicate. His name was
Lucky Luciano.
In 1935 the government began to investigate Luciano. But in order
to convict him they needed "inside information." It finally came from
some of the prostitutes on Luciano's payroll and sent to prison for
thirty to fifty years. Strangely enough, nobody ever heard again from
the whores who had testified against Charley Luckey Luciano after the
trial. But not so strange was the fact that after the conviction of
Luciano, Meyer Lansky was named "boss of all bosses" in the national
crime syndicate. It would appear that both Capone and Luciano had
been "duped" by their Jewish cohorts in crime, now wouldn't it?
In the Spring of 1940 a small-time Jewish hood named Abe "Kid
Twist" Reles was taken into custody for questioning on a gang-
related murder charge. Reles became known as the "Brooklyn Canary"
when he spilled the beans to the authorities. Reles disclosed that
he was not just a smalltime hood, but rather an underlord in Murder,
Inc. He told of dozens of gruesome murders committed by this almost
totally Jewish syndicate police force. He confirmed the fact that
there was indeed a national crime syndicate and named it's leaders.
His squealing led to the execution of Lepke Buchalter, the head of
Murder, Inc. It also led to his own demise when he was thrown
from a twenty story window, even though he had been under the guard
of six policemen round-the-clock. And who said the police never
co-operate with the syndicate?
Reles' testimony helped the System regain a little respect from
the American people. Respect necessary to justify America's entry
into WW II. The top Jews and their stooges in the government knew
that a few fried gangsters were a small price to pay for such an
important nation-wide morale builder. Such a deal!
From the late 1940s to the present, the upper structure of the
syndicate has remained pretty much the same -- Jewish Meyer Lansky
dispatched his right-hand man, Bugsy Siegel, to Las Vegas in 1946
to start the gambling and prostitution rackets in that area. Lansky
ordered Siegel's death when he learned that Siegel was embezzling
from him. Siegel was then replaced by Morris Rosen, Gus Greenbaum,
and Morris Sidwirts, all "Chosen." In Los Angeles, Lansky's men
were Jack Dranga and Mickey Cohen, strictly "kosher." (National
