"....Then, at the outset of World War II, U.S. Naval Intelligence and the nation's new espionage agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), enlisted Lansky and the syndicate in a historic collaboration, the top-secret Operation Underworld, in which government agents employed mobsters and their labor goons in a campaign of coercion and bribery ostensibly to prevent sabotage and quell controlled leftist unions on New York docks. The "dirty little secret of Operation Underworld," as former White House official put it, "was that the United States Government needed Meyer Lansky and organized crime to force an industrial peace and a policing of sabotage on the wharves and in the warehouses. The government turned to him because hiring thugs was what government and business had been doing for a long time to control workers, and because it could conceive little other choice in the system at hand." - p.26, The Money and the Power, by Sally Denton and Roger Morris
p. 246 ........"The Kennedys hotly pursued the Castro murder contract with the Syndicate, sometimes through Rosselli, sometimes through their own team of gangsters, through government agents at lower levels worried that their organized crime cohorts were not taking the effort seriously enough."

If they think they can get away with it, they'll kill off your entire family. But they'll be sure to shake the pockets and accounts real good first. At one time this was a great country, but drugs, greed, and organized crime moved our status toward 'Third World,' a long, long time ago.
