Naw, these guys and their descendants, like Lew Wasserman have been driving the trolly since Reagan...
Not a hijack... But this explains why Obama looks like Bush Jr now and Clinton/back door sheep and Bush Sr and Reagan...
It is why the world is saying no and Obama is saying yes.
I found out about this book from a retired DOJ lawyer who was ordered by Bush Sr. to back off MCA. He and his partner would not and they were "retired". His partner went 6 feet under investigating claims of government operated meth labs on Indian reservations in the west. So much for Justice and the American way.

"With Supermob, veteran muckraker Gus Russo emerges as a primal and primary 21st Century investigative historian of 20th Century corruption.
Tracking the so-called Jewish Mob that evolved out of Chicago's Eastern European immigrant class during and immediately following Prohibition,
Russo's painstaking research and first-rate sleuthing connects the dots all the way to the White House. Anyone who has ever wondered how or why the ship
of state seems to founder so frequently in murky, mobbed-up waters will have their eyes opened wide. Supermob is super, and required reading for any
student of the fine art of influence peddling."
- Dennis McDougal, author of The Last Mogul: Lew Wasserman, MCA, and the Hidden History of Hollywood
"Gus Russo, through some remarkable investigative journalism, has uncovered a dark side American history - especially in California: from the 1940s to the 1980s, an almost untouchable group of exceedingly influential men wielded their enormous business and political power, sometimes criminally, to achieve their ends. The villainy explored in Supermob has always been suggested, but to my knowledge never nailed down and written about in a riveting book. Highly recommended."
- Vincent Bugliosi, former Los Angeles County lead prosecutor, and author of Helter Skelter
?Veteran investigative author and organized crime expert Russo's magnum opus is a compelling look at one of the last century's major power players. Russo's extensive research is amply evident, and he has made use of recently disclosed records to paint a fuller picture than predecessors such as Seymour Hersh and Brian Ross were able to...a worthy addition to the genre.?
--Publisher?s Weekly
"Supermob confirms what we in law enforcement have long known, but were prevented from pursuing: the longstanding relationship between the mob and 'legitimate' politicians and corporate leaders. This is a must-read for the average citizen who wants to know how organized crime has really impacted their lives. Gus Russo has written perhaps the the most long-overdue book on crime in American society. "
- Robert Fuesel, former Special Agent IRS Organized Crime Division, and former Executive Director of the Chicago Crime Commission.
