Shouting Out Who Killed The Kennedys

Throughout our American history, we have seen many so-called coincidences that have happened and those who do not hold such beliefs that patterns in history should be revisited and analyzed, define such synchronicities as mere consequences.

We know coincidences happen all the time. They can be the cornerstone of most conspiracy theories when they have important consequences. It really doesn’t matter if what we discover is positive serendipity or negative interference – the patterns and twists of fate always make us wonder about the direction of history.

It may be anathema to speculate about the ultimate order of the universe and it may be unwise to challenge the agreed upon negative but in the 52nd year after the tragic shooting of John F. Kennedy there is a journey that goes beyond the 1963 nightmare on Elm street in Dealey Plaza. From the view point of the Grassy Knoll, we can barely make out the details of the events of 1963 and this we were promised that the facts would be delivered within half a century – they haven’t been officially, but of course do we really need an official confession from our government that a coup d’é•tat took place in Dallas November 22nd, 1963?

Can we really trust anyone in government that tells us what happened was nothing more than an unlucky twist of fate?

Government documents declassified after the passage of the JFK Records Act in 1992 prove that the official narrative is fiction. There is overwhelming evidence implicating the CIA and other United States intelligence agencies, as well as top military officials and corporate entities, in a complex plot to stage a coup against a president who rebelled against their wishes.

The basic facts are that the official story has not stood the test of time as 80 percent of Americans do not buy into the official narrative. Another fact is that, no matter how many conspiracy yarns are created about Kennedy’s death, the basic reality is that the national security state was the perpetrator of the assassination and that is why we are seeing no accountability for the assassination nor are the authorities opening the files for public scrutiny.

I have always been asked directly who I think killed Kennedy and after being coy by reciting the lyrics from the Rolling Stones song “Sympathy for the Devil.”

“I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, when after all it was you and me,” I throw out a few names that I feel were involved. In fact, when I appeared on Penn and Teller’s “Bullshit” I was asked by the producers and camera people if I would name names on camera. I did, and the unbelievable thing was – they never made it on the air.

I prefaced my statements by saying that there were many players and conspirators but my focus has always been on Allen Dulles, his brother John Foster Dulles, George Herbert Walker Bush, E. Howard Hunt, Richard Nixon, General Curtis Lemay, the Gehlen Organization or “The Org.” From there, we have co-conspirators and liars like Senator Arlen Specter, Frank Sturgis, H. R. Haldeman, Gerald R. Ford, David Atlee Phillips, William K. Harvey, Richard Helms, Des Fitzgerald, James Jesus Angleton and David Morales.

It was interesting that, out of all the names that I mentioned, the producers wanted me to elaborate on George Herbert Walker Bush.

I was sensing some political trap and I merely stated that much of the theories on Bush were all tied to “The Org” and its relationship to the CIA. It is documented that Bush was in Dallas, Texas the morning of the assassination, took a flight to Tyler, Texas afterwards to announce to a group of Kiwanis club members that the President had died and then phoned the FBI to tell them that he had an idea who was responsible for the death of President Kennedy.

This way it could be said that he was in Tyler and not in Dallas that day and still he knew or had some idea who might have killed the President. However, Bush will tell people that he doesn’t remember where he was on November 22nd, 1963.

Names and faces are a blur over time and synchronicities and suicidal coincidences have always plagued the story of Kennedy.

Even within a few years after Oliver Stone’s movie ‘JFK‘ was released, Richard Nixon, Governor John Connally, H,R, Haldemen , Frank Sturgis and Jacqueline Kennedy all died.

A declassified report by the US Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that the spy agency’s former director withheld information about the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy.

The CIA report, which was written in 2013 and quietly declassified last month , concludes that John McCone, who led the CIA when Kennedy was fatally shot in 1963, kept information from a federal commission that was investigating the assassination.

The report’s author, CIA historian David Robarge, writes that McCone and other top CIA officials were part of a “benign cover-up” to keep information from the Warren Commission, according to Politico Magazine.

The President’s Commission on the Assassination of President Kennedy, known unofficially as the Warren Commission, was established by former President Lyndon B. Johnson in November 1963 to investigate the assassination of Kennedy.

Robarge writes that McCone and other CIA officials were “complicit” in keeping “incendiary” information from the commission.

He also wrote that the CIA sought to keep the commission focused on what the agency believed at the time was the “best truth… that Lee Harvey Oswald, for as yet undetermined motives, had acted alone.”

The commission’s final report released in September 1964 agreed with McCone’s assessment that Oswald acted entirely alone in assassinating Kennedy.

However, the US House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in 1978 that the investigations by the Warren Commission were flawed and that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy.

As further evidence of a high-level conspiracy to assassinate President John F Kennedy, it has long since come to light that there was a Plan A and a Plan B, as is standard operating practice for any well-planned covert operation. What was unusual is that the two plans were nearly identical, though 925 miles and 20 days apart.

If history were to have veered into another timeline Lee Harvey Oswald would not have been the so called “patsy” in the assassination. It would have been a mentally disturbed former Marine named Thomas Arthur Vallee. Vallee, had been reportedly talking about shooting the president when he came to Chicago.

Vallee was a paranoid schizophrenic, a disaffiliated member of the famously right-wing, anti-Communist John Birch society, collected guns, and was described as a loner. As a Marine in the Korean War, Vallee was injured by a mortar blast, was subsequently committed to several mental institutions, and received full disability benefits from the Veterans Administration. Like Oswald the ex-pat turncoat, Vallee the mentally disabled fit the preferred profile of the lone wolf presidential assassin.

Vallee’s apartment was raided in his absence, and FBI agents found an M1 rifle, a carbine rifle, and 2500 rounds of ammunition. The Secret Service instructed Chicago Police to put 24-hour surveillance on Vallee and “get him off the street.” Vallee was pulled over and arrested by CPD officers Daniel Groth and Peter Schurla on the morning of November 2, as his 1962 Ford Falcon made its way toward the expressway on Kennedy’s motorcade route. The officers cited a missed turn signal as the result of the arrest. Upon seeing a hunting knife in the front seat of the Falcon, they charged Vallee with carrying a concealed weapon, and a search of his trunk yielded 300 rounds of ammunition.

According to the book “JFK and The Unspeakable” by James W. Douglass a declassified “Plan A” taking place in Chicago indicates that an assassination team was supposed to kill Kennedy on November 2nd 1963.

On November 2, 1963, Kennedy was set to appear at the Army/Air Force football game in Chicago at 11:40 a.m. At the Chicago Secret Service Bureau, Special Agent in Charge Maurice Martineau informed agents about reports of assassins on October 30. Martineau was repeating a tip from the FBI, in which an informant identifying as “Lee” talked about a four-man sniper team of “rightwing para-military fanatics” with high-powered rifles, who would shoot at Kennedy as his motorcade was driving from O’Hare down the Northwest Expressway, around a slow loop off the highway exit of what is now ironically known as the JFK Expressway.

The tip from “Lee” wasn’t the only one. A landlady at a Northside boarding house called the FBI after she saw four men check into the house, each with a scoped rifle, and carrying a map of Kennedy’s motorcade route. The FBI then called the Secret Service office in Chicago, who searched for the riflemen.

Two of the would-be assassins were found and detained for several hours for questioning, while the other two got away. The names of the two would-be presidential assassins are still unknown to this day, as the Department of the Treasury, which oversees the Secret Service, mysteriously destroyed all records of the Chicago plot when the Assassinations Records and Review Board asked for them in 1995, more than three decades after the incident.

While the Sniper team was not identified – one can theorize that it could have been the very assassin team spoken of by E. Howard Hunt on his deathbed. In April of 2007 Rolling Stone magazine featured Hunt’s deathbed confession.

Hunt was a CIA operative and key Bay of Pigs/Watergate/Nixon administration figure.

According to Hunt’s confession, which was taken by his son, St. John, Hunt, over the course of many personal and carefully planned father-son meetings, the following individuals were among the key participants:

Lyndon B. Johnson: LBJ, whose own career was assisted by JFK nemesis J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), gave the orders to a CIA-led hit team, and helped guide the Warren Commission/lone gunman cover-up.

Cord Meyer: CIA agent, architect of the Operation Mockingbird disinformation apparatus, and husband of Mary Meyer (who had an affair with JFK).

David Atlee Philips: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Recruited William Harvey (CIA) and Cuban exile militant Antonio Veciana.

William Harvey: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Connected to Mafia figures Santos Trafficante and Sam Giancana.

Antonio Veciana: Cuban exile, founder of CIA-backed Alpha 66.

Frank Sturgis: CIA operative, mercenary, Bay of Pigs veteran, and later Watergate figure.

David Morales: CIA hit man, Bay of Pigs veteran. Morales was also a figure involved with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

Lucien Sarti: Corsican assassin and drug trafficker, possible “French gunman,” Grassy Knoll (second) shooter.

Many of these names also have connections to what is known as an assassination team called Operation 40.

Allen W. Dulles, the director of the CIA, established Operation 40 after a confidential memorandum from Colonel J. C. King, chief of CIA’s Western Hemisphere Division. It obtained its name because originally there were 40 agents involved, mainly Cuban exiles. It was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was presided over by Vice-President Richard Nixon.

George Herbert Walker Bush was asked to cooperate in funding the group. The man assigned to him for his new mission was Féliz Rodríguez. This included finding private funding as a result of pressure from American corporations which had suffered at the hands of Fidel Castro.

It seems that members of Operation 40, originally recruited to remove Fidel Castro, had been redirected to kill Kennedy. That someone had paid this team of assassins to kill the president of the United States as part of a freelance operation. This is not such a far-fetched idea when you consider that in 1959 Richard Nixon was approaching oilmen like George Walker Bush and Jack Crichton to help fund Operation 40.

We also have the claim of Frank Sturgis that “this assassination group, Operation 40 would upon orders, naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary some of your own members who were suspected of being foreign agents.”

Jesse Ventura of the Tru TV, Conspiracy Theory show also reported that four US presidents were either involved or had knowledge of “Operation 40,” which were all connected to The Watergate break in, the Bay of Pigs, and other known “false flag” operations headed by Richard Nixon.

It is very possible, if not probable, that the missing 18 minutes of the Watergate tape recorded on 6/20/72 are of Nixon conversing with his Chief of Staff, H. R. Haldeman and making explicit references to the CIA’s role in the JFK assassination and the FBI’s role in covering that crime up. It is almost certain that Haldeman destroyed the notes of that 18 minute time period that he took during that 79 minute meeting with Nixon.

Howard Baker once asked Nixon, “What do you know about the Kennedy assassination?” Nixon replied “You don’t want to know.”

There are many Americans that really do want to know.

Names, places and ideas are lost in the accepted history and the conspiracy history is equally forgotten.

For example, Richard Nixon resigned the presidency on August 9th, 1974. CFR and Warren commission member Gerald Ford, who was very close to both the FBI and the CIA, assumed the presidency. Ford was also a critical player for the JFK assassination cover-up, along with former CIA director Allen Dulles and John J. McCloy, the chairman of the CFR from 1953 to 1970. Revisionist history now points to a role of US intelligence in manipulating the Watergate scandal to force the resignation of Nixon. It looks as if they were afraid that he would spill the beans on the JFK assassination.

Gerald Ford’s choice for Vice President came down to two candidates Nelson Rockefeller and George Herbert Walker Bush, two men with very deep CIA connections.

George Herbert Walker Bush, who came very close to being appointed Vice President by Ford in 1974, became the CIA director from 1976 to 1977. George Herbert Walker Bush was allegedly brought in because the former CIA director William Colby was dangerously revealing too much of the Agency’s dirty secrets. In 1977 Carter, not trusting Bush, forced his resignation as CIA director. Between 1977 and 1979, Bush became the director of the Council on Foreign Relations foreign policy organization. The CFR has often acted as a propaganda arm of U.S. intelligence.

In 1980 Ronald Reagan told an interviewer from the Christian Science Monitor that he would not choose a running mate that was affiliated with the Trilateral Commission or the Council on Foreign Relations.

Eventually, Ronald Reagan won the Republican nomination. Conservatives across the nation were delighted that is, they were delighted until he shocked his supporters by selecting George Bush as his running mate. George Bush was the very epitome of the ”Insider Establishment” and the Intelligence operations of the country.

That night, at the Republican convention, the word “betrayal” was in common usage.

Ronald Reagan had repeatedly and publicly promised that he would pick a running mate who shared his well-known conservative views. Bush was the darling of the Rockefellers, had a shady past and was always suspected of being part of the JFK Bay of Pigs fiasco that many people believed led to the JFK assassination.

FBI director J. Edgar Hoover wrote this memo 5 days after the assassination, naming George Bush as a CIA officer. The last, and most crucial paragraph, is very hard to read.

“The substance of the forgoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. V.T. Forsyth of this Bureau.”

Bush said the memo must be referring to another “George Bush,” because he wasn’t in the CIA at that time. But over the years, people were able to assemble the facts from Bush’s personal life, showing his deep involvement with the CIA at that time, and with the CIA’s anti-Castro Cubans, and over time, it has become undeniable; that Hoover was referring, in his memo, to none other than George Herbert Walker Bush.

It is of course another coincidence that Ronald Reagan was almost killed in another assassination attempt.

Bush is now 91 years old. When he dies, he will take with him the darkest secrets of United States intelligence including the truth about who killed the Kennedys.
