## Resource

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the theory of Israeli involvement in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by expanding the lens beyond James Angleton. We revisit Meyer Lansky through the specific context of his ties to Israel, organized crime, offshore banking, and intelligence-adjacent networks, examining whether those relationships plausibly intersect with Dealey Plaza. Along the way, we explore Lansky’s connections to figures like Jim Braden, the Corsican mafia, and the murky financial world that sat at the crossroads of intelligence agencies and criminal enterprises. We then turn to Permindex, a shadowy international trade organization that has long fueled speculation among assassination researchers. Was it simply a failed commercial venture, or a covert financial cut-out tied to intelligence operations and political violence abroad? By analyzing its leadership, banking relationships, alleged ties to the CIA, and its connection to Clay Shaw, we weigh what can be supported by documentary evidence against what remains unresolved. As always, we separate what is provable from what is possible—and leave you to decide how compelling the case really is.
