The Chicago Bomb - Part One, Introduction
The Amazing Story Of A Little Known Mob Lawyer Who Ruled Hollywood Moguls, Union Bosses, US Presidents, And Got Israel The Bomb
In our series, “Echoes of Laurel Canyon,” we have introduced you to Chicago Outfit Mob lawyer Sidney Korshak. Korshak made Presidents like Reagan and Nixon, and Korshak decided what movies would be made in Hollywood. Sidney Korshak is the most important person you don’t know, and once you get to know Sidney Korshak, much of world history starts to make sense, especially in the Cold War.
In the “Echoes Of Laurel Canyon Series,” our research group’s reporting showed how the CIA partnered with the Chicago Mob to take over Hollywood. That was the story of Sidney Korshak working with CIA operative Robert Mahue with and then against Billionaire Howard Hughes. But there is much more to this Cold War story than taking over Hollywood and getting America’s crime families to invest in Cuban and Las Vegas hotels.
Korshak started his career as the lawyer for Chicago Mob Outfit bosses Al Capone, Frank Nitti, Frank “The Waiter” Ricca, Tony Accardo, Sam Gianacana, and his Los Angeles man, Johnny Roselli. But Sidney Korshak, along with Henry Crown of the Chicago Outfit, actively pursued getting Israel key technology in aviation, rocketry, and nuclear technology is an untold story. Little-known stories like Sidney Korshak buying the house in Beverly Hills where Howard Hughes crashed his plane give you an idea of some of the “coincidences” our researchers have uncovered.
You may remember three years ago when I went to the Beverly Hills Country Club where Howard Hughes crashed his experimental XF-11 in July 1946, and I accused Hughes’ CIA handler, Robert Mahue, of arranging the crash. Hughes’ plane landed on top of a key negotiator for the Nuremberg Trials who was interrogating Nazi aviation and wonder weapon scientists. You can bet that Sidney Korshak’s agents were there, rummaging through the wreckage soon after the crash, for Nazi scientist interrogation files.
Coincidentally, Korshak was in the process of transferring the Nazi War Machine technologies from the interviews of Nazi war criminals to Israel at the same time. This Howard Hughes 1946 plane crash would begin an aviation, rocketry, and nuclear acquisition spree for Sidney Korshak and Henry Crown of the Chicago Outfit that is still in effect today. The acquisitions begin with catastrophic accidents of competitors that devalue the competitor’s stock so the competitors can be picked up for pennies on the dollar.
Sidney Korshak, the Chicago Outfit’s lawyer since Al Capone, and General Dynamics owner Henry Crown weren’t only interested in aviation and missile technology from Howard Hughes and other World War Two aviation manufacturers like North American Aviation. (Korshak would also pick up the remnants of the merger of the McDonald and Douglas Aircraft Corporations as well through Curtis LeMay.)
Korshak and Crown were also interested in getting Israel the Bomb. For instance, the Chicago Outfit’s Henry Crown would win a commission to Colonel at 45 for all wartime procurement for the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Chicago Outfit controlled the trade unions that could shut down war production nationwide. Hence, this concrete procurement appointment of a Chicago Outfit fixture was an apparent protection arrangement to keep war production going despite gouging and skimming on Federal contracts.
If you believe a cement hauler from Chicago could be made the head of the War Procurement Board as a 45-year-old Army inductee to the rank of Colonel, then you can understand how Henry Crown was able to buy the Empire State Building as the sole owner in 1954.

Now, sycophantic rewrites of history retell Henry Crown patriotically going to the head of War Procurement as a cement contractor and a controller of union bosses who could shut down production. Billions of dollars in stolen assets allow you to hire your acolyte press agents and “security men” to keep the real press quiet or dead.
(For my series on the corporate “security men” Henry Crown employed at General Dynamics, see my Substack series “A Hale Of Bullets.”
Henry Crown also “offered” to liquidate Howard Hughes's assets in TWA Airlines to allow Hughes to buy out most of the Chicago Mob casinos in Las Vegas. Again, the Korshak and the Chicago Outfit could call strikes at TWA or any other airline to the deference of mob-controlled Pan Am. Perhaps the reason Howard Hughes failed to appear for his TWA hearings in 1966 was that he was already dead or so addled by drugs that he could not appear, with his assets secretly being used by Mahue to buy out Chicago Mob casinos in Las Vegas.
In the airline business, crashes precede bankruptcy. The same pattern repeats with Boeing today, which is being taken down through industrial sabotage. The Chicago Outfit’s tactics have not changed much in the last hundred years. The Chicago way is to use union stewards to commit acts of Industrial sabotage, plant girlfriends of executives to record executives covering up the sabotage catastrophes, leak “whistleblower” reports to the press, collect executive denials, and then release key documents of proof at Congressional hearings. That’s how you buy airlines and missile companies for pennies on the dollar.
You may recall I have accused Mahue of altering the health and sanity of Howard Hughes after two near-death plane crashes, which were veiled assassination attempts, and several near-death health experiences, which also were veiled attempts at health alteration for a Hughes to be confined to a drug-addled ward of Mahue’s Mormon mafia handlers. Killing or altering the CEO of a company you want is another “Chicago way”.
Howard Hughes may have been killed or addled by drugs to a child-like dependency to allow Mahue, his executor of all business deals, to clean out all Hughes assets by purchasing Chicago Mob-owned casinos. When you consider the fact Howard Hughes never met Robert Mahue, Mahue as the “protector of Howard Hughes with Mormon bodyguards” could be a giant construct to allow Mahue to sell off all Hughes’ assets and move the money to the Chicago Mob.
Hughes money appears to have again been used for Crown’s repurchase of General Dynamics with Curtis LeMay’s former business partner and co-founder of Douglas aircraft, Donald Douglas, and protege David Lewis. Korshak’s brother also worked inside Chicago politics, so control over Chicago had been complete since the days of Capone, inside and out.
Disclaimer -
And for those who don’t think industrial accidents and mass formation psychosis allow you buy low and sell high, you don’t know the Chicago Outfit. The Chicago Outfit demanded protection for all the World War II defense contractors through their control of labor rackets. Korshak and Crown weren’t going to let that death grip slip away in commercial or defense aviation and missiles in the Cold War.
You will also see how Korshak and Crown go on to buy General Dynamics in 1959 to make the next generation of fighter aircraft for the US Armed Forces and the rocket for the Apollo moon missions.
