John Cody:

" John Cody gets an apartment at Trump Tower. John Cody is a Gambino crime family associate who I had lunch with while I was doing the book. I had lunch with him at Windows on the World. And—

AMY GOODMAN: On top of the World Trade Center.

WAYNE BARRETT: Yes. And it must have been under federal surveillance, because, two weeks after the lunch, they busted him for trying to kill the guy who—Bobby Sasso, who had taken over Local 282, which was his union. That was the concrete delivery men. They delivered all the concrete to all the sites in New York, totally mob-controlled. And so they busted him for trying to kill a guy. He had already been in jail. He goes back to jail. "

What makes Teamster union mobster Cody so interesting is that he was an associate of the John Birch society connected Lyndon LaRouche. LaRouche's outfit took a high profile at the time the JBS started fading from high profile public activities. When LaRouche's group started to fade, it was replaced by Bircher Alex Jones' infowars group.

LaRouche cultivated a wide variety of organized crime and corrupt labor union connections, like Rolland McMaster from Jimmy Hoffa's local, Harry Gross and John Cody from Long Island Teamsters local 282, Trafficante from FL, and mob lawyer Mayer Morganroth. He was involved with the same Genovese crime family whose members who were connected to indicted (repug prez) Raygun Labor Sec. Ray Donovan. (Donovan was involved with Bill Masselli, Al Magrini, Sal Briguglio, Paul Cianti, and Fred Furino. https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1982/06/21/fbi-memo-says-slain-mafia-bagman-socialized-regularly-with-donovan/9a7b7232-a827-48b9-a1da-bfdf7df23f2f/ ) Donald dRumpf got into hot water for being involved with the exact same Genovese crime family, when Trump Tower construction improprieties were being investigated.


(In fact, Donovan's Schiavone Construction Company from Secaucus, NJ, was the same company that Donald dRumpf got into hot water for being involved with, when Trump Tower construction improprieties were being investigated.)

Larouche was associated with Klan leaders like Roy Frankhouser, and Bob Miles, a MI Aryan Nations 'pastor'.

LaRouche was associated with paramilitary school proprietor, white russian emigree, and CIA contract agent Mitch WerBell, who invented the Mac 10 Ingram machine gun silencer. "In 1988, Sheriff Sherman Block of Los Angeles announced that Hustler publisher Larry Flynt wrote WerBell a $1 million check in 1983 to kill Hugh Hefner, Bob Guccione, Walter Annenberg, and Frank Sinatra.[16] Los Angeles television station KNBC displayed a photocopy of the check." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitchell_WerBell

LaRouche was invited to meetings with Raygun NSA William P. Clark.

So, the point is, LaRouche was running around with mob ties, nazi ties, far right intel ties, crooked repug party ties. Reminiscent of dRumpf.

DRumpf is using the successor to LaRouche's org now, the 3rd generation bircher outfit, Alex Jone's infowars, as shock troops to augment Roger Stone's online nazi and street tough nazi initiatives.

And one of dRumpf's tenants is a mobbed up labor guy who was very much connected to and involved with LaRouche.


Basically, Trump Towers is like the Overlook Hotel from The Shining, except in Manhattan instead of CO.

(On edit, fixed 7th para, it had bad info that was showing up on internet searches.)
