The Kennedy Assassination beyond conspiracy

The theme of this History Channel program was to "lay to rest" the Kennedy assassination "once and for all. This program is full of disinformation. This HC program has a lot of new good information, mostly displayed with and based on computer analysis and animation.

The HC has a long history of always taking a position on issue that support what the neo-cons what the American people to think.

The HC shows that at least one bullet that hit JFK and Gov. Connelly was digitally map to the snipers nest in the book depository. This is new information and is reliable information.

The HC brings up the sound analysis, put they discredit it as being in total error. They mention that the sound analysis scientists claim their had to be at least two shooters. The HC fail to point out that the sound analysis found five or six shots fired that day, HC could be correct that the location of the open police microphone at the time the radio transmission were record. The sound analysts had plotted the location where the shots came from, and they could have been wrong, but not about the number of shoots heard. There was also physical evidence of more than three bullets fired. No mention of the bullet holes in the windshield of the Presidents car and why the car disappeared and/or as cleaned of all additional bullet holes. No mention of the bullet what was picked up and given to an alleged FBI agent or police officer.

The HC stated Oswald taught himself Russian.

A former CIA finance officer, James Wilcott, testified to the House Select Committee on Assassination that colleagues told him that Oswald was a secret operative (contract agent) for the spy agency in Japan. The Committee decided not to believe Wilcott's hearsay information. (Crossfire, p. 104)

In 1959, the U.S. was having real difficulty in acquiring information out of the Soviet Union. One activity used to acquire information was an Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) program which involved three dozen, maybe 40 young men who were made to appear disenchanted, poor, American youths who had become turned off and wanted to see what Communism was all about. They were sent into the Soviet Union or into Eastern Europe as fake defectors (dispatched U.S. spies). The intention were that the Soviets would pick them up and "double" them, or recruit them into the KGB. These fake defectors (double agents) were trained at various naval installations both in the U.S. and abroad, but the operation was being run out of NAG's Head, North Carolina. (Crossfire, p. 117)

A statement of William Robert (Tosh) Plumlee who worked as a contract pilot for the CIA: I first meet Lee Harvey Oswald at a secret base called Illusionary Warfare Training at Nagshead, North Carolina in 1959 prior to him going to language school and going to Russia.

When I later learned that Oswald had been arrested as the lone assassin, I remembered having met him on a number of previous occasions which were connected with intelligence training matters, first at Illusionary Warfare Training in Nagshead, North Carolina, then in Honolulu at a radar installation and at Oahu's Wheeler Air Force Base, then in Dallas at an Oak Cliff safe house on North Beckley Street run by Alpha 66's Hernandez group, who had worked out of Miami prior to the assassination.

The History program said Oswald lived the life of a worker in Minks, Russia. That is not true. He lived in an apartment in equal quality of that of high ranking military officers, not the poor Russian working class apartments.

Former CIA officer, James Angleton, believed Oswald defected to the Soviet Union in 1959they gave him a luxurious apartment by Soviet standards, pay equaling that of a top military officer and perks available only to members of the KGB or the Soviet elite. armed with details of U-2 radar images, flight trajectories, capabilities, and runway distances that the U-2 required - all the information the Soviets needed to aim their not-so-accurate, SAM missiles if they were ever going to shoot down the U-2. It turned out that the Soviets sent Oswald to Minsk, where This after KGB defectors alleged Oswald was so unstable, so "strange" that the Soviets had decided to not recruit him to spy on the U.S. Years later, Angleton became convinced that this very special treatment, was Oswald's reward for compromising the U-2. (p. 221)

What the Soviets lacked was the detailed altitude information on the U-2 that would have allowed them to accurately control their missiles at great altitudes. Lee Harvey Oswald, who served as a radar operator at Atsugi, Japan, one of the staging areas for the U- 2 flights, had that information. He defected in Moscow six months before the U-2 was shoot down. [1b]

In 1959, both Khrushchev and Pres. Dwight Eisenhower seemed sincere in wanting to ease the tensions between their two countries. After a two days of private talks at Camp David in the summer of 1959, the stage was set for a full-fledged negotiation at a summit in Paris and it was scheduled for mid-May 1960. It might have produced a limited nuclear test ban treaty, already foreseen as the first major
accord of the cold war. [1b]

However, on May 1, 1960, Francis Gary PowersU-2 spy plane crashed in the Soviet Union. Khrushchev stated that the U-2 flight may have been the work of "American aggressive circles" trying to "torpedo the Paris summit. [1b]

History Channel (HC) lied about Oswald being seen in Cuban embassy, The CIA has admitted he was never there in Mexico, they had been survieling everyone coming and going to this embassy.

By the summer of 1960, the FBI was fully alert to Oswald and to possibly some sort of espionage game was being played out. His name had been placed on a "watch" list used in monitoring of overseas communications. [2b]

In January 22, 1964, the CIA leaked to the Warren Commission members that Oswald had contact with a KGB officer, Valery Kostikov, while in the Soviet embassy. The CIA said Kostikov's responsibilities included "assassinations and sabotage." This possible link between Oswald and a KGB assassination plot so frightened Commission members that they were content to take the CIA's word for Oswald's Mexico visits to embassies. (Crossfire, p.193)

The HC showed an animation of three shots from the book depository. An expert could not aim, fire, use the bolt to load another round, and fire three shots in the time frame on later tests, let alone hit a moving target.

The HC did not talk about Jake Ruby as somekind of nut case, not playing with a full deck, and had a real bad anger management problem. The Chicago mob had nothing to do with Jack Ruby. This BS. Ruby was the godfather of Dallas, not just some strip club owner.

There was an utter absence of references to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (FBN) (the agencey replaced by DEA) in any official investigation of the JFK assassination, despite the fact that FBN informer Jack Ruby killed Oswald and that the House Select Committee on Assassination (HSCA) concluded, Ruby had "direct contact" with associates of Marcello and trafficante. (The Strength of the Wolf, p. 308 )

The FBN office in Dallas knew Jack Ruby. In 1950, Jack Ruby had briefed the Kefauver Committee about organized crime in Chicago, although his attorney agreed to allow him to testify only "on the condition that the Kefauver Committee stay away from Dallas." On 25 November 1963, the Secret Service requested the FBN's file on Ruby. Ruby had been a source of information on numerous occasions for the FBN since 1940s, on unimportant suspects. A Secret Service agent took the file and never returned it to the FBN. (p. 309 - 310)

The CIA's earlier efforts with the Mafia to assassinate Castro—which began in 1959 under Vice President Richard Nixon—had complicated the Kennedys' intense prosecution of the Mafia. Without telling the Kennedys, the CIA was continuing to work with the Mafia on plots against Castro in the fall of 1963, which helped to allow associates of Marcello, Trafficante, and Rosselli to infiltrate the plans for C-Day. C-day was the code name for Kennedy's secret plan for a second attempt to invade Cuba.

The CIA's anti-Castro Cubans were smuggling spies and terrorists into Cuba and returning with shiploads of narcotics for sale in America. (The Strength of the Wolf, p. 235)

Throughout the Cold War, the CIA used gangsters and war lords, many of them drug dealers, to fight communism. It includes Marseilles Corsicans, Lao generals, Thai police, Nationalist Chinese irregulars, Afghan rebels, Pakistani intelligence, Haitian colonels, Mexican police units, Guatemalan military and more. During the forty years of the Cold War, government intelligence services-our own CIA included--forged covert action alliances with some of Asia's key opium traffickers. The Agency tolerated such trafficking and when necessary blocked investigations. Since ruthless drug lords made effective anti-Communists, and heroin profits amplified their power.

In 1963, Carlos Marcello was America's most ruthless and secretive Mafia boss, completely free of FBI wiretaps. From his New Orleans headquarters, he ruled a territory that included Louisiana, Mississippi, and parts of Texas and Alabama. Marcello's Mafia family was the oldest in North America, able to stage major "hits" without needing the approval of the national Mafia organization, and his associates had a long history of targeting government officials who got in their way. The Kennedys had pursued Marcello since 1959, even before JFK was elected president

Jim Garrison's investigation of the JFK assassination threatened to uncover the CIA's MK ULTRA program. After Garrison arrested Clay Shaw in March 1967, the CIA began to discredit Garrison by linking him to Carlos Marcello in an 8 September 1967 Life Magazine article. Texas Governor John Connally also helped by preventing the extradition from New Orleans of Sergio Arcacha Smith (an anti-Castro Cuban) as a witness in the Clay Shaw trial. (p. The Strength of the Wolf, 393)

Clay Shaw, a CIA asset, reportedly joined the Permanent Industrial Exhibition, Permindex, in 1957. It was a construction company. After moving to Rome in 1961, Permindex became Centro Mondiale Commerciale (CMC) , and was reportedly involved as "a cover for the transfer of CIA...funds in Italy for illegal political-espionage activities."

Clay Shaw had worked for OSS in 1941 and he and David Ferrie are reported to have worked for the CIA. [3b] Oswald was in contact with these guys, with Ferrie when Oswald was a youth and both during the JFK assassination.


The HC said Pres. Johnson went to his grave believing Castro was behind the assassination of JFK.

The HC claims JFK was shot in the rear of his head. All experts in gun shot wounds say he was hit from the front, causing his head to fly backward and a large piece skull and his brains went flying rearward.

The only question I have now is why the propaganda forces are putting out this disinformation now. Is it to discredit the 9/11 truth movement?

US Secret Service agent Abraham Bolden was arrested on the very day he went to Washington to tell the Warren Commission about those attempts. Caught in a maze of National Security concerns that only became clear after four million pages of JFK files were released in the 1990s.

Yet in November 1963, John and Robert Kennedy were able to keep two assassination plots against JFK that month out of the media at the time. The first was in Chicago, on November 2, 1963--when JFK had to cancel his trip and motorcade at the last minute--and the second was during JFK's long motorcade through Tampa, Florida on November 18, 1963, just four days before Dallas. Both the Chicago and Tampa plots had many similarities to Dallas, yet they were withheld from the news media and most investigators.

Bolden was involved in investigating the Chicago plot and was informed about the similar Tampa attempt. Bolden's own testimony to a Congressional Committee about the Chicago plot was kept secret for over fifteen years, but when finally released in the 1990s, it supported other information that had emerged about the plot over the years.

While Warren Commission staff had heard vague rumors of the Chicago plot, they had been told nothing about the Tampa attempt (which would continued to be withheld from the later Congressional investigations into JFK's assassination).

Bolden himself had previously arrested both of his accusers, one of whom later admitted committing perjury against Bolden. But the Chicago judge told the jury he felt

Bolden was guilty, and Bolden was convicted and sentenced to six years in jail. Former Senate investigator and top Freedom of Information attorney Bud Fensterwald looked into Bolden's case and concluded that Bolden had been framed.

The HC really attacks the movie JFK as nothing but left wing propaganda.

The HC said there is not a single piece of evidence about a conspiracy, "there is no evidence". American people are stupid and can't believe a dumn nut like Oswald did it by himself, this what the HC said or something to that affect. The word conspiracy is repeated over and over again in this program.

On Nov. 22, 1963, the New Zealand press released news about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. As reported independently by Colonel Fletcher Prouty USAF (Retired), whoever set Kennedy up, accidentally launched a full international newswire biography on obscure "killer" Lee Harvey Oswald, without first taking the trouble to check his world clock. It was still "yesterday" in New Zealand on the other side of the International Date Line when the biography was wired from New York, enabling the Christchurch Star newspaper was able to print a story about Oswald as the prime suspect in its morning edition, several hours before he was first accused of the crime by Dallas police.

On 29 February 1960, Joseph Kennedy, JFKs father, met with Sam Giancana (Chicago mafia boss), Johnny Roselli and Mario Brod (James Angletion's liaison to the mafia) at a restaurant in New York. The purpose of this meeting was to negotiate the terms by which the mafia's constituents in Illinois would vote for JFK in the upcoming election. The hoods were trying to decide whether to support JFK or Lyndon Johnson, who was backed by Carlos Marcello. The mafia bosses agreed to contribute $500,000 to JFKs compaign. (p. 256).

In November 1960, Pres. Kennedy appointed Bobby Kennedy as Attorney General. Bobby Kennedy increased the number of attorneys in the Criminal Division from 15 to 60 and directed them against the nation's leading mafia bosses. (p. 253)

Hoover had known since October 1960, that Sam Giancana was a "million-dollar-man" (slang for a CIA protected drug trafficker) who had a role in CIA's plots to kill Castro. Hoover did not tell Bobby Kennedy this until April 1962. It wasn't until May 7, 1962 that the CIA finally told Bobby about the CIA's operations against Castro. And CIA security chief Sheffield Edwards and CIA General Counsel Laurence Houston lied that the CIA
assassination attempts using mafia people had ended with Trafficante's exposure as a double agent working for Castro. CIA was still working with the mafia. (p. 257)

In July 1961, FBN special agent Siragusa denounced Trafficante as a double agent. He insisted that Castro had jailed Trafficante as a ruse, and the he was in fact working with Castro's agents in the lucrative bolita gambling business in Miami. (p. 225)

After Pres. Kennedy learned that top CIA officers had encouraged ultra (right) generals in Algeria to mutiny against Charles de Gaulle, he fired CIA director Allen Dulles. (p. 257)

In late summer 1962, Carlos Marcello (mafia don in New Orleans) to Edward Becker, a businessman from California, that President Kennedy was going to be assassinated. In Miami, Santos Trafficante told Jose Aleman, a wealthy Cuban exile and underworld financier, that JFK was, "going to be hit" before the 1964 elections. Becker and Aleman informed the FBI of these allegations, but J. Edgar Hoover didn't alert Bobby Kennedy, the Attorney General, or JFK, or take any preventative action. (p. 284)

The CIA had subverted the FBN's 1962 investigation of labor leader Irving Brown. Brown was given "port privileges at JFK Airport in New York, so he was routinely ushered through Customs without having his bags open (check for drugs).

President Kennedy wanted to expel Air America, the CIA's drug smuggling front company airline from Laos. In 1962, Bobby Kennedy indicted Sea Supply's manager for having bribed a U.S. official in Laos. This prosecution was blocked by JFK's ultra right-wing, political enemies and Air America kept its contract in Laos. (The Strength of the Wolf, p. 262)

Pierre Salinger—a member of the Kennedys' first organized crime investigation team—that just weeks before Jack Ruby shot Oswald, Ruby received a large payoff in Chicago from someone working for a close ally of Marcello and Trafficante.

Ruby also made surprising comments that wound in up the Warren Commission's files but not in their report. Just weeks after Ruby's arrest for shooting Oswald in 1963, an FBI document quotes Ruby as talking about "an invasion of Cuba" that "was being sponsored by the United States Government."

With C-Day set to begin the following week, JFK planned to give a speech in Miami just hours after his trip to Tampa, a speech that included a message written to the C-Day coup leader in Cuba that promised him JFK's personal support. Canceling the Tampa motorcade simply wasn't an option for JFK or Bobby, even though the motorcade would reportedly be the longest of JFK's presidency, slowly making its way past teeming crowds and many unsecured buildings. Our interviews with officials from Florida law enforcement and the Secret Service, supported by newspaper files and declassified CIA and FBI documents, reveal that the Tampa attempt to kill JFK shares a dozen striking parallels to what happened in Dallas four days later. They include a young male suspect who was a former defector with links to both the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and Russia, just like Lee Harvey Oswald. As in Dallas, JFK's Tampa motorcade also included a hard left turn in front of a tall red-brick building with many unguarded windows—a key site that officials feared might be used by snipers to target JFK.

There was a planned attempt to kill JFK during his Tampa motorcade on November 18, 1963. It was mentioned in only two small Florida newspaper articles, each in just one edition of the newspaper and then only after JFK was killed in Dallas. Nothing appeared at the time of the threat, even though authorities had uncovered the plot prior to JFK's motorcade. It was clear that someone had suppressed the story.

John and Robert Kennedy kept the Tampa assassination attempt secret at the time, and Robert Kennedy kept it secret until his death in 1968. The Secret Service, FBI, CIA, and other agencies have similarly maintained silence about it, as well as keeping secret other information about the assassination that might have exposed the Kennedys' C-Day coup plan. In November 1994, the authors first informed the JFK Assassination Review Board about the Tampa assassination attempt. The Review Board had been created by Congress in 1992 and appointed by President Clinton soon after, to release all the JFK records. But just weeks after we told the Board about the Tampa attempt, the Secret Service destroyed their records for that time period. That does not implicate the Secret Service or the FBI or the CIA (as an organization) in JFK's assassination. As the book shows, officials were forced into such cover-ups because the Mafia bosses had tied the potentially destabilizing C-Day plan to their attempts to assassinate JFK in Chicago, Tampa, and finally Dallas.
