RICO Daddy G. Robert Blakey Bites the Dust at 90: Did He Know Too Much About JFK?
The guy who wrote RICO and poked around the Kennedy assassination finally shuffled off this mortal coil, but was it just old age?
G. Robert Blakey, the OG who penned the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), has gone to that great courtroom in the sky at age 90. RICO, for those of you who weren't paying attention in civics class (or were too busy raiding Mom's liquor cabinet), is the law that lets the Feds go after entire criminal enterprises instead of just low-level goons. Basically, it's how they got Capone (well, Al Capone types, anyway).
But here's the spicy meatball: Blakey wasn't just about busting mobsters. He was also the chief counsel for the House Select Committee on Assassinations back in the late 70s. You know, the one that looked into who really offed JFK and MLK. Remember that? The Committee concluded there was a high probability that President Kennedy was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy. Yeah, that one.
So, the guy who wrote the law that brought down crime families also investigated the Kennedy assassination. Coincidence? I think NOT. Maybe he knew too much. Maybe someone didn't want those secrets getting out. Or maybe he just got old. But c'mon, where's the fun in that theory?
RICO itself is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a powerful weapon against organized crime. On the other hand, it's been used to go after everyone from tobacco companies to anti-abortion protestors. Kinda makes you wonder if it's really about justice, or just about power. The swamp runs deep, folks.
They say he was a Notre Dame law professor. Probably brainwashing young lawyers with woke garbage. Just kidding...mostly. Look, the guy was smart. He wrote a complicated law that gave the government a lot of power. That's a fact. What they did with that power? Well, that's a different story, isn't it?
I bet he had some stories to tell. What secrets did he take to the grave? Did he crack the JFK case? Did the deep state get to him? We'll probably never know. But it's fun to speculate, isn't it? Especially when it involves conspiracies and the Clintons.
The legacy of G. Robert Blakey is a double-edged sword. He was a legal titan, but also a man who dealt with the dark underbelly of American power. Was he a hero, a villain, or just a guy doing his job? You decide. But don't trust the official narrative.
Next time you see a RICO case in the news, remember G. Robert Blakey. And remember to question everything. Because in this crazy world, nothing is ever as it seems. Especially when it comes to the Kennedy assassination. Wake up, sheeple!
