Episode 46 Kenneth O’Donnell and David Powers Published Aug 09, 2021
Episode 46 is a continuation of our journey into the mysterious world of the Grassy Knoll and the idea of a conspiracy. This episode is dedicated to two witnesses Kenneth O’Donnell and David Powers. They were members of the Irish Mafia which is a term of endearment for the coterie of close friends and confidants that surrounded Kennedy during his presidency. None were more influential than these two individuals who came to Dallas with the President and rode in the car just behind the Presidential Limousine that morning. They saw the president assassinated and had a unique view from their seats in the follow car. The tragedy that is the assassination extends itself to more than just the President. The next few episodes which follow 46 will wind down our visit to Dealey Plaza. These episodes begin to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas, matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president. Matters that clearly call into question theory that there was a lone assassin.
I was asked if there were other members of the Irish mafia …Actually, there was a third member of the group…it was Larry O’Brien. By the way Larry O’Brien is somewhat famous for two important matters that happened after he left the Kennedy administration. First, O’Brien later became the chairman of the Democratic National Committee and it was his office that the Watergate burglars were trying to break into… when they were caught that night. O”Brien later went on to become commissioner of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
