John McCain Mob Connection

[Maine-ah]

This is a couple of paragraphs into the article:


The Post did not mention that Mrs. McCain’s father was a highly-placed fixture in the Arizona branch of the national organized crime syndicate: He was the chief henchman of the late Kemper Marley, Arizona point man for infamous mob chief Meyer Lansky and his powerful partners-in-crime, the super-rich Bronfman family of Montreal.

In that capacity—for 40 years until his death in 1990—Marley was undisputed political boss of Arizona, acting as the behind-the-scenes power over both the Republican and Democratic parties.

As such, his wealth and connections played the primary role in advancing John McCain’s political career from the start.

Although some Democrats have muttered that Mrs. McCain’s business interests could impact on her husband’s decision-making as president, none has dared cross the line and make reference to the fact this vast wealth was spawned by what others have indelicately (although quite correctly) called “the Jewish Mafia.”

Correspondents for American Free Press have repeatedly referenced the McCain fortune’s ties to the Lansky-Bronfman syndicate going back to 2000 when McCain first ran for president. Most recently, in its July 14/21 issue AFP reported the story again. At that time, AFP pointed out that in its June 30 edition, Newsweek (owned by the Washington Post’s parent company) also suppressed McCain’s mob link.

interesting for sure. I'm wondering if anything in this has been debunked, because I can't seem to find any evidence pointing to it being false.

1. Maybe Grandpa needs to re-think playing guilt by association.

2. I have always wondered how a beer distributorship could be so lucrative--

not a million or two, but serious-ass wealth. Apparently Hensley had a monopoly in his region, but why didn't he have any competition?

3. He's directly linked through his father-in-law

Hensley is the only felon to hold an alcohol distributor's license as far as I know.

4. How could they debunk it if it's true. They'd just be acknowledging it. n/t k*r

5. thanks for the k&r

I just wanted to be sure....I know I shouldn't feed the idiots, but I find it to be rather entertaining these days to just piss 'em off. It's certainly some good fodder since they're now pushing the "Obama hangs with terrists" mantra.

8. Most welcome! They're' finished with their bull shit.

There's an economic crisis brought on by McCain and Company and Obama is hitting hard at that.

The people have new power after realizing that they actually stopped the first bailout bill (the
eventual passage was inevitable giving the money flowing to our corrupted Congress). We now have the
power to see through their b.s. and that includes cheap charges by McCain, Palin, Rove etc. that
have no basis.

It would be fun to have someone from Obama's questioned on this nonsense and simply say:

"Are these people smoking crack?"

6. John McCain was invited to the birthday party of the head of the New York Bonano crime family

In 1995, McCain sent birthday regards, and regrets for not attending, to Joseph "Joe Bananas" Bonano, the head of the New York Bonano crime family, who had retired to Arizona. Another politician to send regrets was Governor Fife Symington, who has since been kicked out of office and convicted of 7 felonies relating to fraud and extortion.

7. Oh, mny. And we are supposed to be quaking over someone who protested an illegal war? By blowing

up a freakin' toilet? LOL. If we didn't have Republicans, who would make me laugh this much?

9. Well, I'm not going to condone what Ayers did back in the 60s, but if McCain and Palin want

to play guilt by association, then we can play too.
