Tucker: Too far ahead of his time
by Paul Sullivan
http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2004/092004/09042004/1487659
...What Preston Tucker tried to do is really more than to build the world's most advanced car. What he did, and the obstacles he ran into, have happened too often to those who would redefine the very notion of what it is they are trying to do.
What if we had someone now like Tucker, bringing fresh thinking to the problems of moving too many people by old-fashioned conveyances using antiquated roadways that cannot keep up with their traffic loads?

...Cohn bragged, "because they knew I had friends in high places...friendship with Mr. Hoover..."...approached Rubell and chastise him for being in the arms of Cohn. "Do you know what he is?...He's a killer! He killed Abe Feller and Stan Kaplan, him and those Nazi bastards on the McCarthy committee!"...elite of the fashion world, America's most prestigious attorneys, lawmakers, models, stockbrokers, entrepreneurs, Mafia chieftains, and at the end of it, they were all complicit, part and parcel of the same hypocrisy. Hoover and Cohn were thick as thieves, Cohn and Bubell were lovers, along with New York's powerful Catholic Cardinal Spellman. Carlo Gambino pays big bucks to Cohn who, after touting the American dream and prosecuting innocent men before the Senate as Communists, cajoles, bribes, or threatens who knows whom so that John Gotti gets away with murder, all of which makes two Manhattan surgeons look on in dumb amazement. What a world! What a society! How could anyone take any of it seriously?...

...Carl Bogan, whose career inspired the "Kojak" TV series...
...taugh Giuliani how to flip witnesses, turning them from defendants to undercover agents. The technique, pioneered by...Roy Cohn during the McCarthy hearings, involved putting a suspect under oath, then bombarding him with questions, many related to an alleged crime, but others of a personal nature, the more embarassing the better. To hide a cheating wife's indiscretion or protect a loved one from unnecessary implication, the investigator's job was to manipulate a cop into perjuring himself. The strategy was simple: If you can't get him for corruption, get him for perjury, a crime...They usually agreed to become undercover informers in exchange for immunity...

...A second instance of the federal government's betrayal of the mob was carried out by Bobby Kennedy. It wasn't bad enough that the Kennedy brothers used Chicago boss Sam Giancana and his union influence to win Illinois in the presidential election and then have Bobby double-back on him as a key target for proesecution. Even more of a betrayal was the fact that while his brother, President John Kennedy, was recruiting Giancana through the CIA to assassinate Fidel Castro of Cuba, Robert Kennedy, as attorney general, was mercilessly prosecuting not only Giancana, abut Miami boss Santos Trafficante and New Orleans godfather Carlos Marcello, both of whom were working in concert with Giancana and the CIA to kill the Cuban leader. Add to this the legendary hatred borne for John and Robert Kennedy by FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and CIA chief Allen Dulles...rumor among Cuban inmates, many veterans of the Bay of Pigs, that Rosselli has somehow been involved in killing Kennedy, whom they hated. They fawned over Rosselli, treating him like some kind of hero...
page 230
...thinking about the two men he'd personally known without any mob ties that had been prosecuted and served prison time, their lives shattered, by headline-grabbing prosecutors not so unlike Rudy Giuliani...
...remembered the nightmare Congressman Cornelius "Neil" Gallagher, of New Jersey had lived after forming a subcommittee to investigate FBI/CIA abuses during the late 1960's.
In danger of uncovering "black bag" break-ins (COINTELPRO), brainwashing programs (ARTICHOKE), and assassination squads (Phoenix), Hoover, using the ubiquitous Roy Cohn as a go-between, tried to blackmail Gallagher with phony Life magazine exposes based on alleged Mafia connections. That failing, the FBI launched a relentless series of investigations into the congressman, his friends, and family that spanned nearly four decades. By the time the attacks ended, Gallagher,a war hero who's been awarded three Purple ahearts and Boronze and Silver Star medals during World War 2, had served two stints in federal prison, lost his congressional seat, his license to practice law, his good name, and entire life savings. All of this without a single mob-related charge ever having been proven or even substantiated...thinking now about Joseph Salvati, a truck fingered by a hit man Joseph Barboza. Salvati served thirty years in prison for a murder he knew nothing about.
In March 1965, during the twilight of Bobby Kennedy's war on the mob, agents overheard Barboza on a wiretap requesting permission from his boss to ice a small-time hood named Edward Deegan, who later turned up dead, shot six times, in an alley. When indictments were handed down, Barboza, the real murderer, was not named because in addition to being a professional killer, he worked as an informant for the bureau. Unbelievably, the four innocent men, including Joseph Salvati, who were named, were subsequently convicted of Deegan's murder on Barboza's testimony with the FBI full cognizant of their innocence...
Epilogue
page 265
...The United States government came to the conclusion sometime during the early 1960's, as the CIA began to flex its muscles, that it didn't need La Cosa Nostra any longer, viewed it as competition, and could use the Mafia to consolidate power against a created "enemy."
Assasinations, known as "wet jobs," a euphenism for "liquidations within the CIA, could be done in-house. Narcotics trafficing, a multibillion-dollar industry, could be carried out clandestinely, the money used to support secret wars in South America, Southeast Asia, or the Middle East...
page 268
...Today the fabric of institutions in the United States are falling apart before our eyes, much as the fabric of La Cosa Nostra fell apart...divorce, corporations pushing for productivity at the expense of children, pedophilia in the Catholic Church, skyrocketing drug dependencies, hypocrisy in politics, bio-weapons and diseases, some of them man-made and without cure, al part of the unbridled enterprise mentality.
In that sense, Joseph Bonanno was correct. Americans yearn for closeness. They need family. They long for a "father."
