February 18   Max Arvo and I are back for the third of four episodes discussing Max’s important and groundbreaking articles on Jack Ruby which were published by our friend Jim DiEugenio over at Kennedys and King.

Aaron and Max explore the links between the JFK assassination and Operation X—the operationalized symbiosis between the Lansky/Teamster National Crime Syndicate and powerful agencies within the US national security state. Most notable, we’re talking about Hoover’s FBI, Anslinger’s Federal Bureau of Narcotics, and the clandestine inner sanctum of the CIA which was the fiefdom of James Angleton. This is the sixth part of our Gray Alliance series, an investigation of the Lansky Syndicate-CIA-Mossad threads running through the JFK assassination, Watergate, and beyond!
