Mafia Boss, Sheldon Edelson

Don Bolles, 1976, Arizona reporter murdered. Jimmy Hoffa kidnapped and murdered the previous year. Bobby Kennedy assassinated in 1962. There were those who dared to suggest these were Mafia hits. Decades later, the stories have become the fodder of media speculation. Least the stories, and questions die, I want to write about a modern day Mafia boss.

Sheldon Adelson, Mafia Kingpin, this is a story. Don’t look for links or verification from me. You can pursue this story at your own risk. Don’t think of the modern day Mafia as a club of Italian stallions. They may be Jewish, Catholic, Russian, American, or Israeli. The occupation has become international. Their business interests are laundered, and protected, by various legitimate banks, and other financial investments.

It is not possible for me to remain silent while the gambler buys our election, and purchases our ally Israel. This election in the US may well determine our world values, and moral direction. I’m calling upon my Mormon, and Jewish friends to walk the walk, not talk the talk.

Arizona is famous for a multitude of scandals. Senator McCain no doubt remembers his ties to the Keating 5. In the construction industry, there is Del Webb. What, if any, ties do all these have to the Nevada gambling bosses? What happened to Howard Hughes, he had a few high level Mormon friends?

If you think Mormons have clean hands, I submit the resignation of Arizona Governor Evan Mecham. Why do Mormon Bishops and Stake Presidents demand that their flock maintain a rigorous code of ethics, when they don’t practice what they preach?

I suggest you change "Sheldon Adelson" to "George Soros" or something and put it with one of those other sites. They might even pay you for t.

I am grateful to Mr. Soros for his humanitarian contributions. He made his money the hard way, betting on failure. Best regards
