Am I the only one who finds this claim outrageous? All the capabilities of the FBI and they make this comment? Sure looks like these gov't agencies were installed to cover for the crooks till it is no longer feasible then they cover for the next group of criminals. Rinse and Repeat. Makes me think about Fauci and all his lies. What the heck is really going on in the halls of power?
Until the Appalachian Meeting in 1957, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was in complete denial about the existence of the Italian Mafia, beginning with the explicit order of his director J. Edgar Hoover. For more than 20 years, this office focused on other public enemies as the likes of John Dillinger, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, “Baby-Face” Nelson, Alvin “Creepy” Karpis or Thomas “Machine Gun” Kelly.
The main focus on Hoover’s agenda, though, was “the communist threat”. With the strong support of President Dwight Eisenhower, he put all the Bureau’s efforts and attention on groups and individuals carrying out actual or perceived left-wing activities.
There were other matters, notwithstanding these facts, that made their way into some hidden evidence, such as blackmailing, extortion and fear.
Hoover was obsessed with the public image of the Bureau, so he understood his duty and responsibility was to keep the office away from any kind of investigations about the activities of the Mob.
There were cruel realities, exalted by Mafia Author, Selwyn Raab:
Hoover’s reluctance to seriously challenge the Mafia stemmed from three main factors, according to former FBI agents and criminal-justice researchers. First was his distaste for long, frustrating investigations that more often than not would end with limited success. Second was his concern that mobsters had the money to corrupt agents and undermine the bureau’s impeccable reputation. And third, Hoover was aware that the Mob’s growing financial and political strength could buy off susceptible congressmen and senators who might trim his budget.
With a high-level of corruption and his knowledge about the growing power of the Mob, Hoover didn’t want to trigger a war that his precious office might lose. To preserve it, he banned his agents to carry out secret operations to obtain information about the Mafia.
Furthermore, he prohibited the use of the word “Mafia”. There were also personal issues involved: the Mob supposedly knew the rumors about his sexual orientation and sent him several letters with an extortion tone and certainly the fear gripped him.
