YEAH, I had the son of a bitch killed. I’m glad I did. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done it myself!”

With those words, a Mafia kingpin confessed to orchestrat*ing the November 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. And now, on the 50th anniversary of JFK’s tragic death, The ENQUIRER can finally reveal the blockbuster truth be*hind the crime that shocked the world!


The government’s version is that lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald fired three shots to kill the president as he rode with wife Jackie in a motorcade through the packed Dallas streets. But after decades of debate and doubt, The ENQUIRER has uncovered the astonishing story of World War II Army veteran Jack Van Laningham, who risked his life as part of an FBI plot to uncover the REAL story of the assassination.
Now 84, Van Laningham joined the military in 1946 and served brave*ly in Japan and Vietnam. He was stationed in England in 1963 when he heard about the Kennedy assassina*tion. At the time, he never could have imagined he’d be sharing a jail cell with the man behind the murder.Van Laningham’s life began to unravel in the mid-1980s after he returned to the U.S. and his marriage collapsed.

Broke, desperate and intoxi*cated in 1984, he robbed a Bradenton, Fla., bank using a laundry bag and TV remote, pretending he had a bomb. He turned himself in two weeks later and was sentenced to eight years behind bars at the Texarkana prison in Texas.
It was there that Van Laningham crossed paths with New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello, whose

organized crime network spanned the South and into Cuba, where he ran lucrative casinos.
Marcello was particularly bitter to*ward the Kennedys because Bobby, as U.S. Attorney General, had singled him out in his battle against the mob.Marcello and Van Laningham were assigned to the same cell at Texarkana and developed an unlikely friendship that soon came to the attention of the FBI, which had long suspected the gangster’s involvement in JFK’s death.The Feds bugged the cells and told Van Laningham to get the crime mob to open up about his past.

“I was in the cell with him for one and a half years – and EVERYTHING was recorded<” said Van Laningham who now lives in Southern California and is acting as a consultant to upcoming biopic “Legacy of Secrecy” that will star Leonardo DiCaprio as Van Laningham and Robert De Niro as Marcello.
“I agreed basically because I thought that the president was the best America ever had. I loved the guy. The FBI heard everything I got from Marcello – and I got EVERYTHING – who planned it, who was involved and who did the murder.”Marcello’s explosive confession came on Dec. 15, 1987, during an angry tirade about the Kennedy Brothers. Marcello admitted to having the “son of a bitch” killed, adding he was only sorry he didn’t pull the trigger himself.During his confession, Marcello explained how he met up with Lee Harvey Oswald, whom he’d selected to take the fall for the shooting, as well as his ties to Jack Ruby, the Dallas bar owner who shot Oswald.Despite his cooperation, Van Laningham says the FBI never did anything with the information. Marcello died in 1993 at age 83.Jackie Kennedy’s’ first cousin John H. Davis first revealed the sinister plot in his out –of print books “Mafia Kingfish:


Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy” published in December 1988 and “The Kennedy Contract” 1993.
But now, Van Laningham was tracked down by author Lamar Waldron who details the mob conspiracy in his new book


“The Hidden History of the JFK Assassination”.

In the book, Waldron claims that the FBI’s failure to act on the bugged confession was due to an alliance between the U.S. Government and the Mafia to overthrow the Communist regime in Cuba and assassinate Fidel Castro.
Revealing the conspiracy would have involved exposing the U.S. in a possible Cuba coup and “could have triggered World War III in those tense cold war times,” Waldron writes.With a major international scandal at stake, the FBI was told to quash the black operation.Meanwhile as The ENQUIRER recently revealed, Oswald did not act alone with a second shooter being a notorious Cuban with ties to the Mafia who fired the grassy knoll.
“This new information finally connects all the dots, tying Marcello to the shooters, to Lee Oswald AND to Jack Ruby,” says Waldron. “What had formerly been a mass of compelling evidence – with a few key parts missing, and some connections murky – now becomes a clear, coherent and concise story of JFK’s murder.”

PRESIDENTIAL AIDE: LBJ ARRANGED JFK’s ASSASSINATION

EXPOSED! Former Presidential aide says he has bombshell new evidence revealing America’s greatest coverup claiming that VP Lyndon Johnson was behind the assassination of President JOHN F. KENNEDY.
President John F. Kennedy’s world-shattering assassination while riding in a Dallas motorcade was masterminded by the power- crazed man who took his place in the White House – then Vice President Lyndon Johnson!


And Jack Ruby, the mob-connected nightclub owner who shot to death Kennedy’s assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, silencing him before he could be fully grilled by lawmen, had close ties to Johnson and future President Richard Nixon!



Those are the bombshell charges dropped in a blockbuster new book coming out on the eve of the 50th anniversary of JFK’s death by Roger Stone. The author previously worked on the Committee to Re-Elect Nixon in 1972 and then served in the Office of Economic Opportunity during Nixon’s scandal ridden second administration.

“If Roger Stone is right – this will change American history forever,” says a long-time Washington insider.
“It changes everything – I mean everything. Everything we have ever believed is about to change. The whole Kennedy assassination has just blown up in front of our eyes. Lyndon Johnson has just blown up in front of our eyes and so did Richard Nixon.”
According to a source close to Stone’s upcoming book, “The Man Who Killed Kennedy” , “President Johnson…was the driving force behind a conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963.
“Lyndon Baines Johnson was a man of great ambition and enormous greed. Johnson would use power from his personal connections in Texas and from the underworld and from the government to escape an untimely end in politics and to seize even greater power.”


The claim by Stone, 61, and his co-author Mike Colapietro, an investigative journalist, was previously supported by JFK’s widow Jackie. “She was convinced that it was her husband’s successor who was the mastermind behind the plot to murder JFK,” says a source.

Jackie thought it a convenient coincidence that the murder, while she and JFK were riding in an open motorcade through Dallas’ Dealy Plaza, took place in Texas, Johnson’s home state, where he’d been a longtime congressman and had powerful connections high and low.
Her suspicions were also fueled by Oswald’s shocking killing – just two days after the assassination -- while police were transferring him and before he could reveal anything about the tragic event. She also thought it a strange coincidence that shooter Ruby “was a Texas good ol’ boy,” adds the source.
According to Stone’s book, streeting Nov. 6, Ruby, Johnson and Nixon had a relationship going back 16 years before Kennedy’s killing.
When Ruby moved from Chicago to Dallas in 1947, he was soon hired by Nixon, then serving along with Johnson in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Stone told the UK Daily Mail he has newly released documents showing that “Nixon knew Jack Ruby, hired him on the House payroll in 1947 at the request of…Lyndon Johnson.”
Stone also accuses Johnson and Texas Gov. John Connally, who was wounded in the assassination, of setting up the motorcade route. “LBJ and Gov. Connally micromanaged JFK’s Dallas schedule and demanded the route through Dealy Plaza where the motorcade came to a full stop and LBJ had JFK killed,” Stone said.



Stone blames Johnson’s insatiable greed and thirst for power. But Jackie believed Johnson and his Texas cronies “despised the Kennedys” and were jealous of the Kennedys who were considered “America’s aristocrats,” says the source.

While JFK and Johnson were both Democrats and running mates, they were also bitter rivals. “JFK and Johnson hated each other to the depths of their being,” says the source.
The Warren Commission later concluded that Oswald was the lone assassin – a ruling that has been controversial ever since.
But Jackie “became convinced that the then-Vice President, along with businessmen in the South had orchestrated the Dallas shooting” and Oswald was “merely part of a much bigger conspiracy,” notes a source.
Johnson later died of a heart attack in January 1973 while Nixon suffered a fatal stroke in April 1994. Jackie died of cancer in May 1994.
Meanwhile, Stone claims he has exhaustive research to support the devastating findings in his book.



The Washington insider said, “It’s the worst political scandal imaginable. And to think it’s been covered up all these years.”
