Excerpt:
Infamous Irish mob boss James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, who volunteered for testing while in prison. When Alcatraz was shut down in 1963, Bulger was sent to Leavenworth Prison in Kansas, where he volunteered to take LSD as part of a CIA-sponsored psychological operations experiment called MK-ULTRA.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_J._Bulger
Excerpt:
Bulger and eighteen other inmates who had volunteered to lessen their sentences were given LSD and other drugs.[14] Bulger later complained that he and the other inmates had been "recruited by deception," and that they were told that they were helping to find "a cure for schizophrenia."[13] In reality, however, "Dr. Jules Pfeiffer, who supervised the experiments, was working off a grant provided by the CIA, which probably wasn't interested in humanitarian applications of the drug."[13]
He was then transferred from Atlanta to Alcatraz Island, arriving on November 2, 1959, as prisoner #AZ1428. He became a close friend of fellow inmate Clarence Carnes, alias "The Choctaw Kid". In November 1962, he was transferred to Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary (1962–63), and in the following year to Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary (1963–65). He was released after serving nine years in prison.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Flemmi
Excerpt:
Stephen Joseph "The Rifleman" Flemmi (born June 9, 1935) is an Italian-American mobster and close associate of Winter Hill Gang boss James J. Bulger. Beginning in 1965, Flemmi was a top echelon informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Despite delivering a great deal of intelligence about the inner workings of the Patriarca crime family, Flemmi's own criminal activities proved a public relations nightmare for the FBI. For this reason, he was prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) and sentenced to a long term in federal prison.
Flemmi is a decorated veteran of the Korean War.

Other information suggests Meyer Lansky obtained hard proof of Edgar's homosexuality and used it to neutralize the FBI as a threat to his own operations.  The first hint came from Irving "Ash" Resnick, the Nevada representative of the Patriarcha family for New England, and an original owner-builder of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_Hill_Gang
Excerpt:
The Winter Hill Gang is a loose confederation of Boston, Massachusetts-area organized crime figures, predominantly Irish-American with a small Italian-American faction. It derives its name from the Winter Hill neighborhood of Somerville, Massachusetts north of Boston. Its members have included notorious Boston gangsters Howie Winter ("Howie"), James McLean ("Buddy"), James J. Bulger ("Whitey"), and hitman Stephen Flemmi ("The Rifleman"). They were most influential from 1965 under the rule of McLean and Winter until the takeover led by Bulger in 1979. The Winter Hill Gang was given its name in the 1970s by journalists at The Boston Herald, although the name was hardly ever openly used as a reference to them[citation needed]. While Winter Hill Gang members are alleged to have been involved with most typical organized-crime-related activities, they are perhaps most known for fixing horse races in the north-eastern United States[citation needed]. Twenty-one members and associates, including Winter, were indicted by federal prosecutors in 1979[citation needed].

When dealing with Organized Crime the possibility of their involvement in the JFK assassination cannot be ignored. According to some there still remain undisclosed facts shrouded in mystery with no possibility of knowing more of the story until 2017. That’s the year the U.S. government will release more then a million pages of information on Lee Harvey Oswald. Following are the first three of six Discovery Channel videos examining the evidence available from an investigative point of view. They are very informative and enlightening.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Nee
Excerpt:
After his return to South Boston in October 1966, he rejoined the Mullen gang and became one of its leaders in a war against the crime family bossed by the Killeen brothers. He relates in his memoirs that his mother would henceforth regret not throwing him off the back of the immigrant ship in 1952.
On May 13, 1972, South Boston gang boss Donald Killeen was shot to death by Mullen gang enforcers Jimmy Mantville and Tommy King outside his home in suburban Framingham, Massachusetts. The leadership of the Killeen faction then devolved on James J. "Whitey" Bulger.
However, Bulger and his fellow Killeens fled the city in the aftermath of their boss's murder, fearing that they would be next. Instead of murdering Bulger, however, Nee arranged for the dispute to be mediated by Howie Winter and Patriarca crime family captain Joseph Russo. After a sit-down at Chandler's restaurant in the South End, Boston, the two gangs joined forces, with Winter as overall boss.[4]

Mullen Gang

The Mullen Gang were an Irish-American gang operating in Boston.


Feud with the Killeen Gang

The Killeen brothers - Donald, Kenneth and Edward - were and Irish-American crime family which ran the bookmaking and loansharking in South Boston, Massachusetts. The Killeens controlled every illegal activity that emerged in South Boston for nearly two decades. They used muscle to make collections, and to make examples of those who didn’t pay in a timely fashion. The Mullens, by contrast, were a loosely organized crew of thieves. But being in Southie, it was just a matter of time before the butted heads with the Killeens.

The leadership of the Killeen Gang was then devolved on James "Whitey" Bulger. He is the former brother-in-law to Catherine Elizabeth Grieg, the fugitive girlfriend of Winter Hill Gang leader James J. Bulger. Later, Catherine and Margaret's younger brother became close friends with Bulger. Former reporter Howie Carr stated, "Whitey isn't exclusively gay. But I've had it on good authority from the FBI sources that he is bisexual...

Victor Manuel Gerena is wanted in connection with the armed robbery of approximately $7 million from a security company in West Hartford, Connecticut, in 1983. He allegedly took two security employees hostage at gunpoint and handcuffed, bound, and injected them with an unknown, non-lethal substance to further disable them. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $1,000,000 for information leading to Gerena's capture.[11][12]

Osama bin Laden[a] was the leader of al-Qaeda and was wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States embassies, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people. Bin Laden and al-Qaeda is alleged to be responsible for the October 12, 2000, attack on the USS Cole off the coast of Yemen, which killed 17. Although bin Laden later appeared on the first publicly released FBI Most Wanted Terrorists list on October 10, 2001, he was listed there for his alleged role in the 1998 embassy attack, and not for his alleged role in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, because the most wanted lists name fugitives charged with a crime by a prosecutor or under indictment by a grand jury. Bin Laden was named as an "unindicted co-conspirator" in, for instance, the federal indictment against convicted terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui, but has not been formally indicted for his alleged role in the September 11, 2001, attacks. On May 1, 2011, Osama bin Laden was confirmed killed by United States special forces by an announcement from the President of the United States, Barack Obama, in a press conference in the White House. Osama bin Laden was the subject of a $50 million[16] reward through the State Department's Rewards for Justice program targeting international fugitives, especially alleged terrorists, plus $2 million through a program developed and funded by the Air Line Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.[a][17][18]
Osama bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011, and has been declared deceased on the FBI Most Wanted website. Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's top deputy, is expected to replace bin Laden on the Most Wanted list, for his involvement in the same crimes.[19] However, on June 23, 2011, the FBI announced it was unlikely that another terrorist would be added to the ten most wanted list.[20]

Excerpt:
Early life
Gerena and his family, consisting of his mother, four brothers and one sister, moved to Hartford, Connecticut from Puerto Rico when Gerena was very young. He enjoyed wrestling, winning many tournaments; he also played American football. He was a good student, serving on the student council and was recommended to Trinity College.
Gerena met Marion Delaney, then a clerk for the U.S. House of Representatives, who became his friend and tutor. Delaney inspired Gerena to attend her alma mater, the Annhurst College, a female-only college that had faced harsh economic times and was by then accepting male students. There were 200 women at Annhurst and only 25 men. Gerena was met with hostility by the college staff. Gerena returned home and began a relationship with an old friend and had a daughter together.
Gerena then became a security guard at a Wells Fargo armored car depot in West Hartford, Connecticut, the same facility he would later help rob.
