Please note: The
following essay was proof-read by Terry Wayne Martin prior to it being
published on this blog.
In September, 2015, I published an essay on my blog entitled
“Who was behind the assassination?” In the essay, I discussed evidence showing
that Oswald and the TSBD Corporation likely had connections to the 112th MIG;
and that individuals with connections to the 112th MIG were likely involved in
the assassination. I also discussed evidence showing that individuals with
anti-Semitic beliefs were involved in the assassination; and wanted to give the
public the impression that Jews were behind the assassination. Over the past
few months, I have come across a wealth of information that has reinforced my
belief that these individuals were in fact involved in the assassination, which
is why I decided to write this follow-up essay. Although I don’t pretend for even
a nano-second that I have proven
these individuals were the ones responsible for the assassination; and for
framing Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination, I nevertheless believe there
is more than sufficient evidence to believe that this was in fact the case.
Oswald, Edward J. Coyle, and James Patrick Hosty
I would like to begin by discussing a curious individual
named Edward J. Coyle. Coyle was an Army intelligence/counter-intelligence
officer who worked for the 112th MIG in Dallas, Texas. According to Coyle’s
obituary in the Las Vegas Sun News, he was a member of the Knights of Columbus
(see
here). The Knights of Columbus
is a “Catholic fraternal service organisation” which was founded in the year
1882 (I return to the potential significance of this further on in the essay). As
I discussed at Greg Parker’s inimitable research forum, Coyle was involved in
the investigation of firearms theft from the Fort Hood Army base in Killeen,
Texas, with FBI agent James Hosty prior to the assassination (see the thread
entitled “My latest essay”). I also discussed the fact that Lt. Colonel Robert
E. Jones; an Army intelligence/counter-intelligence officer assigned to the
112th MIG at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, informed the HSCA that Coyle
was one of the 112th MIG’s liaison officers to the U. S. Secret Service in
Dallas, Texas, at the time of President Kennedy’s visit there (ibid).
In part one of this essay, I discussed the likelihood that
Oswald was placed into the TSBD building as an employee under the false
pretense that he was to keep an eye out on fellow TSBD employee, Joe Molina, on
behalf of the FBI. I also voiced my belief that considering Molina had
connections to gun runners, Oswald was probably instructed by the FBI to report
back to them on any information he had concerning Molina’s involvement with gun
running. It was for this reason; including the fact that Edward Coyle was
involved with James Hosty in the investigation of firearm thefts from the Fort
Hood Army base and the allegation by Lt. Colonel Robert Jones that Coyle was one
of the 112th MIG’s liaison officer to the Secret Service during President
Kennedy’s visit to Dallas, Texas, that I began to suspect Coyle was involved
with Hosty and the FBI in placing Oswald into the TSBD. Let’s also keep in mind
the likelihood that the TSBD had connections to the 112th MIG in Dallas, Texas.
In my opinion, a big clue that Oswald was working for Hosty
(and Coyle for that matter) as an informant comes from what Hosty told both the
Warren Commission and the Church Committee. When Hosty testified before the
Warren Commission on May 5, 1964, he informed the commission that on the
morning of the day of the assassination, he had conference with Coyle
concerning a “case.” Hosty was referring to the theft of weapons from the Fort
Hood Army base (ibid). Hosty pointed out to the Commission that the “case” was
not “related” to Oswald. When Hosty testified before the Church Committee on
December 13, 1975, he again felt it necessary to mention that the
aforementioned conference with Coyle was not related to Oswald (ibid). Although
the reader may disagree, it is my belief that the reason Hosty felt it
necessary to tell both the Warren Commission and the Church Committee that the
“case” was not related to Oswald, is because it was in fact related to Oswald in some way.
Most researchers are probably familiar with the so-called
Hosty note. For those who are not, sometime in mid-November, 1963, Oswald
purportedly left a note for James Hosty inside an envelope at the Dallas office
of the FBI; which Hosty’s supervisor, J. Gordon Shanklin, ordered him to
destroy (see
here). Oswald
supposedly left the note for Hosty after learning that Hosty had spoken to his
wife at the residence of Ruth Paine. In his book “Assignment Oswald,” Hosty
writes that in the note, Oswald wrote (words to the effect) “If you want to talk to me, you should talk
to me to my face. Stop harassing my wife, and stop trying to ask her about me.
You have no right to harass her” (see
here).
According to a receptionist working at the FBI building in Dallas, in his note
to Hosty, Oswald threatened to blow up the FBI and the DPD if Hosty didn’t stop
bothering his wife (see
here).
But if either one
of these stories are true, it seems unlikely to me that Shanklin would order
Hosty to destroy the note. If Oswald really did threaten to blow up the FBI and
the DPD in his note, the FBI could have used this to show that Oswald had
violent tendencies; and to bolster the notion that he was capable of
assassinating the President. I believe the note Oswald left for Hosty had to do
with him being an informant for Hosty and the FBI. But what information could
the note have contained? Many researchers are probably familiar with the theft
of weapons from the National Guard Armory in Terrell, Texas, in mid-November,
1963. As researcher Greg Parker explains at the ROKC forum, on November 16,
1963, the FBI received information from an informant about a planned transfer
of stolen weapons. On November 18, 1963, the DPD and FBI arrested two men;
Donnell Whitter/Whittier (an auto mechanic who had once serviced Jack Ruby’s
car) and Lawrence Miller for possession of weapons stolen from the
aforementioned National Guard Amory (see
here).
Although I can’t prove it, I believe Oswald may have been the informant.
At this stage, the reader may be wondering what evidence
there is pointing to a relationship between the FBI and the TSBD Corporation.
In order to answer that question, let’s turn to Jack Charles Cason; the man who
was the President of the TSBD Corporation at the time of the assassination. When
Cason was interviewed by the FBI on June 9, 1964, he informed them he was a
former commander of American Legion post No. 53 in Dallas, Texas (see
the thread entitled “Cason and the FBI” at Greg Parker’s ROKC forum). The
significance of this is that the FBI and the American Legion were working
together to combat communism in the United States. According to the American
Legion’s website, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover made the following remarks; “The American Legion is a great force for
good in this nation. We of the FBI need your help now even more than during the
war years if the battle for a safe and secure America is to be won. Our enemies
are massing their forces on two main fronts. One is the criminal front. ... We
are nearer to the days of gang control than we were a year after World War I.
Add to the forces that account for a serious crime every 20 seconds, day and
night, the other encroaching enemy of America, and we have a formidable foe. I
refer to the growing menace of communism in the United States” (ibid).
As Greg Parker has pointed
out, the Church Committee discovered that the FBI used members of the American
Legion as “confidential sources on subversive matters” (ibid). The reader
should keep in mind that Joe Molina was considered a subversive (see
here). Taking the Church Committee’s
discovery into account, it seems quite likely that Cason was in cahoots with
Hoover and the FBI. Although both Hoover and Hosty emphatically denied that
Oswald ever worked as an informant for the FBI, I think most reasonable people
will agree that their denial is perfectly understandable considering Oswald was
accused of assassinating the President (WC Volume IV, page 469), (WC Volume V,
page 98). If I were in Hoover’s and Hosty’s place, I too would deny that Oswald
ever worked as an informant for me; as such an admission would not only have
led to great shame and embarrassment, but may also have led many people to
suspect that I was involved in a conspiracy with Oswald to assassinate the
President.
Returning now to
Edward Coyle, as I pointed out above, Lt. Colonel Robert E. Jones of the 112th
MIG at Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas, claimed Coyle was one of the 112th
MIG’s liaison officers to the U. S. Secret Service in Dallas, Texas, at the
time of President Kennedy’s visit there. Of note here is that Secret Service
agent, Winston G. Lawson; who was involved in the planning of the motorcade
route through Dallas on the day of the assassination, informed the Warren
Commission that he had been an Army CIC (Counter-intelligence Corps) officer
during the mid-1950s (see the thread entitled “My latest essay” at the ROKC
forum). According to Dallas Police Chief, Jesse Curry, it was Lawson who made
all the “major decisions” concerning the President’s trip to Dallas (see
here). The reader may be wondering why
Lawson would admit to being an Army CIC officer if individuals with connections
to Army intelligence/counter-intelligence and the 112th MIG were involved in
the conspiracy to assassinate the President; and if he (Lawson) was a part of
the conspiracy. The reader should consider that Lawson may have thought that by
admitting he had been an Army CIC officer, the Warren Commission would think he
had nothing to hide.
Although there is no proof (as far as I am aware) that
Lawson was involved in the conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy, we
should nevertheless keep in mind that he was involved with Army CIC; and that
he may have been associated with Edward Coyle given that Coyle was one of the
112th MIGs liaison officers to the Secret Service in Dallas, Texas, during the
President’s visit there. I should point out that although I believe Coyle was
quite possibly involved in the conspiracy to assassinate the President (and to
frame Oswald for the assassination), I don’t believe Hosty was involved in the
conspiracy. I believe Hosty only thought that Oswald was to keep tabs on
Molina; and to report back to him (Hosty) on any information he could uncover
about Molina’s possible involvement in “subversive” activities as well as gun
running.
William James Lowery, Johnny Calvin Brewer, and William Marvin
Gheesling
In part one of this
essay, I mentioned that long time FBI informant, William James Lowery, had been
reporting on Joe Molina to the FBI, and that James Hosty was one of the FBI
agents whom he would report information to. I also mentioned that at the time
of the assassination, Lowery was running a shoe store called the Shoe Haven a
mere three blocks to the West of the Texas Theater where Oswald was arrested by
the DPD. As every researcher of the assassination should be aware, Oswald was
allegedly seen by Johnny Calvin Brewer; the manager of Hardy’s shoe store,
looking “funny” and “scared” as DPD squad cars were driving past the store with
their sirens blazing in search of the man who killed officer J.D. Tippit.
Brewer then allegedly saw Oswald enter the Texas Theater and followed him there
(see the thread entitled “Brewer’s IBM friends” at the ROKC forum). During an
interview with author Ian Griggs in 1996, Brewer claimed that two men from IBM
were in the store with him when he allegedly observed Oswald looking “funny”
and “scared” (ibid).
As far as I am
aware, this was the first time Brewer ever mentioned the presence of these two
men in the store with him. The reader should keep in mind that neither one of
these men (provided Brewer’s story is true) ever informed the authorities that
they were inside Brewer’s store at the time Brewer claims he observed Oswald.
It is my belief that these mysterious “IBM” men were responsible for informing
Brewer that they had seen a suspicious looking man with a gun sneak into the
Texas Theater; and that he should alert both the Theater employees and the DPD.
Researcher Lee Farley once made an excellent case that one of these men was the
very mysterious and suspicious, Igor Vaganov (see
here). What’s really interesting is that according to researcher
William Weston, Vaganov was a “Nazi Ideologue” (ibid). At this point, we
should keep in mind the evidence I discussed in part one of this essay showing
that some of those involved in the assassination wanted to give the public the
impression that Jews were part of the conspiracy to assassinate the President.
But what about the identity of the second “IBM” man inside
Brewer’s shoe store? In my opinion, the other “IBM” man could have been Robert
J. Radelat. Radelat was a “Cadet Executive Officer” of the Civil Air Patrol
who, according to former Civil Air Patrol member, Frederick O’Sullivan, was employed
by IBM in November, 1963 (ibid). Bear in mind that at the time of the
assassination, the TSBD building was owned by David Harold Byrd; a co-founder
of the CAP, and that Oswald joined the CAP in July, 1955. When Radelat was
interviewed by the FBI on December 19, 1963, he denied knowing Oswald (ibid).
If Radelat was in fact one of the two “IBM” men inside Brewer’s shoe store; and
if he was responsible for luring Brewer to the Texas Theater to alert the DPD,
this would certainly explain why he denied knowing Oswald.
The reader may be wondering why Brewer would admit to Griggs
that there were two men from IBM in the store with him if they were responsible
for luring him to the Theater. One possible explanation is that Brewer had been
feeling guilty for lying about seeing Oswald looking “funny” and “scared” and
then seeing him enter the Theater, so he decided to give Griggs a subtle clue
as to what really happened by revealing to him that there were two men from IBM
in the store with him when he allegedly observed Oswald. Others may think that
Brewer was simply lying when he told Griggs two men from IBM were in the store
with him, but I don’t see why he would. Besides, Brewer more or less told the
Warren Commission that they were in the store with him (ibid). It’s also
possible that the two men weren’t really from IBM; and were only pretending
they were.
One thing I am certain of is that it wasn’t a coincidence
that Johnny Brewer was the person chosen to lure DPD officers to the Texas
Theater. I also don’t believe it was just a bizarre coincidence that William
James Lowery was running his own shoe store a mere three blocks to the West of
the Texas Theater and Hardy’s shoe store. I suspect that Brewer was quite
possibly an FBI informant himself; and that he was well acquainted with Lowery.
A couple of months ago at the ROKC forum, I started a thread entitled “Roy Lee
Lowery” in which I discussed the likely involvement of Dallas Police detective,
Roy Lee Lowery, in Oswald’s murder at the basement of the DPD. In that same
thread, I pointed out the likely involvement of Dallas Police sergeant, Gerald
Hill, with Lowery in covering up the involvement of Dallas Police Lieutenant,
George E. Butler, in Oswald’s murder. As I have stated elsewhere, there is very
good reason to believe that Hill framed Oswald for the murder of Dallas Police
officer, J.D. Tippit, by pretending to remove the revolver (most likely) used
to kill Tippit from Oswald during Oswald’s scuffle with Dallas Police officers
inside the Theater. Although I haven’t been able to prove it yet, I strongly
suspect that detective Lowery and William James Lowery were blood related.
As I mentioned in part one of this essay, on October 9,
1963, the FBI removed their FLASH (security watch) on Oswald which had been
issued after they discovered Oswald allegedly tried to renounce his American
citizenship whilst in the Soviet Union (WC Volume V, page 7). I also pointed
out that in late September, 1963; William Lowery publicly revealed that he was
an FBI informant. This surely meant that he could no longer be used as a
confidential FBI informant. Of note is the fact that the FLASH was removed
between the time Lowery publicly revealed he was an FBI informant, and the date
on which Oswald obtained his job as an order-filler at the TSBD building;
namely, October 15, 1963. It is my firm belief that the removal of the FLASH
had to do with Oswald taking over from William Lowery in keeping an eye out on
Joe Molina on behalf of James Hosty and the FBI.
If the FLASH had not been removed, then Oswald most likely
couldn’t have been used as the patsy for the assassination; because the U.S.
Secret Service most likely would have been alerted to the fact that he was
working inside a building overlooking the motorcade route through Dallas (see
here). The person responsible for
removing the FLASH on Oswald was FBI supervisor, William Marvin Gheesling.
Considering that individuals with connections to Army
intelligence/counter-intelligence and the 112th MIG were involved in the
assassination, I began to suspect that Gheesling may have been involved with
these individuals. Although I haven’t been able to establish that he was, the
reader should bear in mind that Gheesling was described by the HSCA as having
considerable experience with regards to espionage, intelligence and
counter-intelligence investigations for the FBI (see the thread entitled
“William Marvin Gheesling” at the ROKC forum).
Let’s also bear in mind that Gheesling’s younger brother,
Virgil Alex Gheesling Jr., had served in the U. S. Army (ibid). In his book
“Assignment Oswald,” James Hosty describes Gheesling as a “war veteran,” but
doesn’t specify what branch of the armed services he was a veteran of (ibid). Given
that at least one member of his family served in the U.S. Army, it is entirely
possible that Gheesling was a veteran of the U.S. Army. Gheesling’s brother
Virgil was also an active member of the First Baptist Church in Hendersonville,
Virginia (ibid). Gheesling’s sister-in-law (the wife of his brother, Charles
Stanley Gheesling) was a “lifelong member” of the Bethesda Baptist Church in
Union Point, Georgia (ibid). With this in mind, it stands to reason that
William Marvin Gheesling was a Baptist himself. Of note is that Sgt. Gerald
Hill was also a Baptist (ibid). Therefore, it’s possible that Hill and Gheesling
knew each other.
Charles W. Webster, John Jacob Abt, and Dr. Robert John Morris
One of the most
overlooked individuals of interest to me is Charles W. Webster; a professor of
law at Southern Methodist University in Dallas from at least August, 1956. On
the day of the assassination, Webster was at DPD headquarters; and despite
allegedly being a Communist, he appeared to be on friendly terms with the
right-wing DPD. Webster was a President of the St. Thomas More Society (an
organisation of Catholic attorneys) in the Dallas-Fort Worth Diocese (see
here). As I mentioned above, Edward
Coyle was a member of the Knights of Columbus; a Catholic “fraternal
service organisation.” Given their
association with Catholic organisations, it’s entirely possible that Coyle and
Webster knew each other before the assassination. According to researcher Greg
Parker, “Webster had run for congress in 1960 with the support of the
heavily infiltrated local communist branch which included Bill Lowery, the FBI
informant” (see the thread entitled “John Abt and Lee Harvey Oswald” at the
education forum).
In addition to his association with Lowery, Webster knew Dr.
Robert John Morris; the ultra-right-wing attorney who served as the chief counsel
of the
Senate Judiciary Subcommittee
on Internal Security from 1951 to 1953 and from 1956 to 1958 (see the thread
entitled “Robert John Morris” at the ROKC forum). Most researchers are probably
familiar with the allegation that Oswald had asked for John Jacob Abt; an
attorney for the Communist Party USA, to represent him following his arrest on
the day of the assassination. Greg Parker put forward the idea that it was
Professor Webster who recommended to Oswald that he contact Abt to represent
him; and provided him with Abt’s name and phone number (see the thread entitled
“Oswald's Alibi and the Reid Technique” at the ROKC
forum)
. I
believe he could very well be correct. According to Dallas Police Captain Will
Fritz, Oswald asked for Abt on the day of the assassination (see here and here). However, this was almost
certainly a lie, because during the infamous “midnight press conference,”
Oswald made no mention of wanting Abt to represent him; merely asking for
“someone to come forward” to provide him with “legal assistance” (see here).
Although the reader
may believe that Oswald never asked for Abt at all, his mother Marguerite
informed the Warren Commission that on the day following the assassination,
Oswald told her he “requested to get in touch with Attorney Abt, I think is the
name” (WC Volume I, page 149). Unless we are to believe that Marguerite Oswald
was part of the plot to associated Oswald with Abt, I see no reason why she
would make this claim. But if Webster recommended to Oswald that he contact
John Abt to represent him, the obvious question is why. As stated previously,
Abt was an attorney for the Communist Party USA; and had defended members of
the party against the Smith Act (see
here).
For example, in January, 1955, Abt defended an African American member of the
CPUSA named Claude Lightfoot, who was “arrested based on the Smith Act of 1940
and put on trial” (see
here and
here). For the uninformed reader, the
Smith Act of 1940 made it illegal to advocate (or to belong to a group that
advocated) the “violent overthrow” of the U.S. Government.
With the above in
mind, I believe the main reason Webster recommended Abt as an attorney to
Oswald was to give the public the impression that the assassination was a
Communist conspiracy to “overthrow” the U.S. Government. After spending several
years researching the assassination, one thing I am absolutely certain of is
that the conspirators wanted to provoke a war between the United States and
Cuba to overthrow Fidel Castro and his communist regime. Had it not been to the
publicity of Oswald handing out Fair Play for Cuba committee leaflets in New
Orleans, in August, 1963, he may never have been used as a patsy for the
assassination. Perhaps the biggest clue that the conspirators wanted to provoke
a war between the United States and Cuba is what John Thomas Masen; a gun store
owner in Dallas, Texas, told an FBI informant. As researcher Mark Bridger
explains, Masen claimed that
beginning in the last week of November “an
extended series of small commando raids” would be made against Cuba; followed
by a “large scale amphibious assault against the Cuban Mainland” (see
here).
Let’s now consider
the following. As discussed in part one of this essay, on the night of the
assassination, Army intelligence in Texas sent a confidential and provocative
cable to the U.S. strike command at MacDill Air Force base in Florida;
which had the capability of providing a swift retaliatory attack against
Cuba. According to the cable, information “obtained from Oswald revealed
he had defected to Cuba in 1959 and is a card carrying member of the Communist
Party.” However, this was a lie, because Oswald never defected to Cuba; and was
not a “card carrying member of the Communist Party.” The person named as the
source of this information was detective L. D. “Don” Stringfellow of the DPD’s Criminal
Intelligence Section; who was member of Jack Crichton’s 488th Military
Intelligence detachment (a reserve Army intelligence unit). For information on
Crichton, I direct the reader to part one of this essay.
Most researchers
are probably familiar with the claim by Dallas Police Lieutenant Jack Revill (who
was in charge of the DPD’s Criminal Intelligence Section) that shortly
following Oswald’s arrest on the day of the assassination, James Hosty told him
Oswald was a member of the Communist party and that the FBI knew he was capable
of assassinating the President. For those who aren’t, Revill wrote about this
in a report to his superior, Captain W. P. Gannaway, and repeated this claim
before the Warren Commission (see
here,
and also WC Volume V, page 34). Revill’s claim that Hosty told him Oswald was a
Communist was corroborated by detective Valarus J. “Jack” Brian; who worked
under Revill in the Criminal intelligence Section (see
here, and also WC Volume V, page 34). But are Revill and Brian
credible? First of all, let’s consider that Hosty denied telling Revill that
Oswald was capable of assassinating the President when he testified before the
Warren Commission (WC Volume IV, page 463 and 464). Secondly, if Oswald was
working as an informant for Hosty and the FBI (and we have good reason to
believe he was), it makes no sense that Hosty would tell Revill that Oswald is
a Communist or a member of the Communist Party.
It’s apparent to me
that both Revill and Brian were lying. The question is why. Let’s consider that
not only was detective L. D. “Don” Stringfellow working under Revill, but that
Edward Coyle told the ARRB that every member of the DPD’s Intelligence section
was involved with Army intelligence (see
here).
In fact, as mentioned in part one of this essay, Jack Crichton once claimed
during an interview that there were “about a hundred men” in his 488th Military
Intelligence Detachment, and that “about forty or fifty of them were
from the Dallas Police Department.” We should also keep in mind that Jack
Revill was drafted into the U.S. Army in the late 1950s; shortly after which he
joined the Criminal Intelligence Section of the DPD (See
here, and see WC Volume V, page 33). We should also keep in mind
that detective Valarus J. “Jack” Brian had served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to
1955 as a Sergeant; shortly after which he went to work for the Criminal
Intelligence Section of the DPD (see
here,
and see ibid, page 48).
The fact that both Revill and Brian went to work for the
Criminal Intelligence Section of the DPD shortly following their involvement
with the U.S. Army strongly suggests that during their time with the Army, they
were both involved in intelligence/counter-intelligence work. In part one of
this essay, I also discussed the fact that after Army intelligence
officer/agent James W. Powell was trapped inside the TSBD following the
assassination, he was interviewed by detective Brian. In my essay “Gerald Hill
and the Framing of Lee Harvey Oswald,” I mentioned that apart from Gerald Hill
himself, Brian was (as far as I am aware) the only law enforcement official who
claimed that Hill was on the sixth floor of the TSBD when the spent shell
casings were found; despite the likelihood that Hill had already left the TSBD
(see under the subheading “Did Hill Lie about his location?”). In that same
essay, I discuss evidence pointing to Hill’s complicity in framing Oswald for
Tippit’s murder (which I believe was to ensure the DPD would pin the blame for
the President’s assassination on Oswald); and that shortly following Oswald’s
arrest inside the Texas Theater, Hill made the false claim to Bob Whitten of
KCRA radio that Oswald had admitted to being an “active Communist” (see under
the subheading “Hill’s possible motive”).
Returning now to John Abt, in his report on Oswald’s
interrogations, Captain Fritz wrote that Oswald told him he belonged to the
“Fair Play for Cuba organization” and that he belonged to the American Civil
Liberties Union; and paid “$5.00 dues” apparently for membership in the ACLU
(see
here and
here). I believe Fritz was lying. On the day following the
assassination, H. Louis Nichols; the President of the Dallas Bar Association
who visited Oswald in his jail cell, informed news reporters that Oswald told
him if he couldn’t get John Abt to represent him, he wanted an attorney from
the ACLU to represent him. Nichols also informed reporters that Oswald told him
he was a member of the ACLU (see
here).
I return to Nichols further on in this essay. As I discussed in the thread
entitled “My latest essay” at the ROKC forum, on November 1, 1963, someone
claiming to be Oswald filled out an application form to rent Post office box
6225 in Dallas, Texas. In that same thread, I expressed my belief that this was
Jack Ruby’s multi-purpose employee, Larry Crafard; whom we have good reason to
believe was not only the Oswald lookalike who shot officer J.D. Tippit, but may
also have been a sniper inside the TSBD (see my essay “Did Larry Crafard kill
J. D. Tippit?” for more on Crafard).
Whoever filled out the application form to rent P.O. box
6225 listed the Fair Play for Cuba Committee and the ACLU as organisations for
which the box was being rented (WCD 934). Someone claiming to be Oswald also
sent a letter to the ACLU (with the return address of “Box 6225, Dallas, Tex”)
asking to be “enrolled” as an “associate member” which the ALCU received on
November 4, 1963 (WCD 1502, page 6). The FBI reported that the handwriting on
the note was determined to be Oswald’s handwriting by the FBI laboratory (WCD
107, page 52). However, this could have been done by someone familiar with
Oswald’s handwriting. As far as I am aware, there is no film footage of the
real Oswald asking for an ACLU attorney; or claiming that he was a member of
the ACLU.
It’s apparent to me that the conspirators wanted to
associate Oswald with the ACLU. The question is why. Let’s consider the
following. As author William A. Donohue writes in his book “The Politics of the
American Civil Liberties Union,” the ACLU was involved in defending the rights
of Communists (see
here). With this
in mind, there can be little doubt that many individuals with ultra-right
beliefs would have considered the ACLU as being some sort of a Communist
“front” organisation. As a matter of fact, according to Earl Browder; who had served
as chairman and general secretary of the National Committee of the CP USA
between the years 1930 and 1945, the ACLU functioned as a “transmission belt”
for the Communist Party (see
here). Let’s
also consider that at least one of the co-founders of the ACLU; Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn, was a Communist. Flynn served as the chairwoman of the National
Committee of the CP USA from January, 1961, to September, 1964 (see
here and
here).
But perhaps the most important point to bear in mind is that
someone claiming to be Oswald sent a letter to Arnold Samuel Johnson; the
director of the “information and lecture bureau of the Communist party,”
informing Johnson that “Through a friend, I have been introduced into the
American Civil Liberties Union Local chapter” (WCE 1145). In the letter,
Johnson was asked “Could you advise me as to the general view we had on the
American Civil Liberties Union? and to what degree, if any, I should attempt to
highten [sic] its progressive tendencies” (ibid). The return address on the
letter was “P. O. Box 6225.” Johnson had been a representative of the ACLU; and
in 1951, he was indicted for apparently advocating the overthrow of the U.S.
Government in violation of the Smith Act (see
here and
here). Also of
note is that when Johnson testified before the Warren Commission, the attorney
that accompanied him was John Abt.
Taking all of the above information concerning Johnson and
the ACLU into consideration, it is my belief that by associating Oswald with
Johnson and the ACLU, the conspirators wanted to reinforce the belief that
Oswald was part of a Communist conspiracy to assassinate the President and to
“overthrow” the Government (let’s also remember that as mentioned above, the
ACLU was listed as an organisation alongside the FPCC for which P.O. box 6225
was being rented). When John Abt testified before the Warren Commission, he was
asked the following question; “Mr. Abt, did you learn that Lee Harvey Oswald
was interested in having you represent him apparently because of some prior
connection of yours with the American Civil Liberties Union?” Abt’s response
was “No. My assumption was, and it is pure assumption, that [Oswald] read about
some of my representation in the press, and, therefore, it occurred to him that
I might be a good man to represent him, but that is pure assumption on my part.
I have no direct knowledge of the whole matter” (WC Volume X, page 116).
Although Abt didn’t deny that he was involved with the ACLU
when he testified, in his book “Advocate and Activist: Memoirs of an American
Communist Lawyer,” Abt makes no mention of being an attorney for the ACLU. In
fact, as Abt writes on page 19 of his book, he had joined the Chicago Civil
Liberties Union (see
here). As I
mentioned above, one of the co-founders of the ACLU was Elizabeth Gurley Flynn;
who served as the chairwoman of the National Committee of the CP USA from
January, 1961, to September, 1964. When Arnold Samuel Johnson testified before
the Warren Commission, he was asked who Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was. At this point,
Abt interjected with the following; “Mr. Rankin, I have advised Mr. Johnson
respectfully to decline to give any further information on this subject” (WC
Volume X, page 100). One has to wonder why Abt advised Johnson to decline to
give further information on Flynn. In my opinion, it was most likely because
Johnson and Flynn were both associated with the ACLU; and because of rumours
that Abt himself was associated with the ACLU.
As I pointed out previously, Greg Parker put forward the
idea that it was Professor Charles W. Webster from Southern Methodist
University who provided Oswald with John Abt’s name and phone number following
his arrest on the day of the assassination. Provided this is true, it begs the
question of who was the so-called mastermind behind this. One person who comes
to mind is Dr. Robert Morris. As mentioned previously, Morris and Webster knew
each other. On November 26, 1963, the FBI received a letter from an attorney
named Clarence Carter Byrd from Florence, South Carolina, who informed them
that he had seen Oswald state on television that he wanted John Abt as his
attorney (see the thread entitled “Robert John Morris” at the ROKC forum). As
far as I am aware, there is no television footage of Oswald asking for Abt.
Therefore, Byrd was probably lying.
But why would Byrd lie? Let’s consider the following. Byrd
was a veteran of the U.S. Navy; where he served as a Naval Intelligence Officer
and was a Pearl Harbor survivor during World War II (ibid). Robert Morris had
served in the U.S. Navy during World War II; during which he was a “commander
of counterintelligence and psychological warfare” (ibid). Therefore, Morris and
Byrd may have known each other. Furthermore, Byrd was a member of the central United
Methodist Church (ibid). According to its website, Southern Methodist
University was founded by what is now referred to as the United Methodist
Church (ibid). Taking this into account with the fact that Charles Webster was
a professor of Law at Southern Methodist University, it is entirely possible
that Byrd and Webster knew each other. If Byrd did in fact know both Webster
and Robert Morris, then this could explain why he lied to the FBI about seeing
Oswald state on television that he wanted John Abt as his attorney.
In part one of this essay, I discussed the infamous “black
border ad” which I believe was part of the ploy to give the public the
impression that Jews were involved in the assassination. One of those
responsible for the ad was Joseph P. Grinnan; an “independent oil operator” in
Dallas and a member of the ultra-right-wing John Birch Society (see
here and
here). When Bernard Weissman testified before the Warren
Commission, he remarked that “too many” members of the John Birch Society were
anti-Semitic (WC Volume V, page 500). Of note is that Grinnan’s attorney was
Robert Morris. At this point, the reader should keep in mind that Morris knew
both Lawrence Howard of INTERPEN fame (whom I strongly suspect may have been
the “dark complected” man seen by Dallas deputy Sheriff Roger Craig driving the
Nash Rambler Station along Elm Street shortly following the assassination) and
Dallas Police Lieutenant, George E. Butler (see the thread entitled “Robert John
Morris” at the ROKC forum). As I discussed in part one of this essay, there is
good reason to believe that Butler was involved in the plot to murder Oswald in
the basement of the DPD; and that Butler informed the DPD he had information
that Oswald was the illegitimate son of Jack Ruby.
Since Jack Ruby was of Jewish ancestry, the implication of
Butler’s claim is that Oswald was also Jewish; and that Oswald was part of a
Jewish conspiracy to assassinate the President. We should also keep in mind
that according to Butler’s obituary in the “Oak Cliff Tribune,” he “was certain
that Lee Harvey Oswald and his wife Marina were Communists agents, that Fidel
Castro ordered the Kennedy killing, [and] that Oswald and Jack Ruby were
probably in cahoots” (see
here). As
I discussed at the ROKC forum in March, 2016, there is good reason to believe
that reserve Dallas Police Captain, Charles Oliver Arnett, and reserve Dallas
Police sergeant, Kenneth Hudson Croy, were both involved with George Butler in
Oswald’s murder; and that like Butler, Arnett informed the DPD he had
information that Oswald was the illegitimate son of Jack Ruby (see the thread
entitled “Kenneth Croy redux”). As I also discussed, Dallas Police detective
Joseph R. Cody; who was an Army CIC officer and under whose name the colt cobra
revolver Jack Ruby used to kill Oswald with was purchased, was also likely
involved with Butler in Oswald’s murder (ibid).
Shortly following the assassination, former Army General
Edwin A. Walker was interviewed by a German Newspaper called the “National
Zeitung.” During the interview, Walker stated the following; “We have been
talking about this Marxist assassin… this Oswald… Lee Oswald… I have just
learned that John Abt from New York has offered to defend him in Court” (WCD
1543, page 12). Walker also remarked that “Mr. Abt is an American Jew who
defends all big Communist cases
” (ibid).
As researcher Ed LeDoux kindly pointed out to me, in his aforementioned book,
Abt wrote that he had a “German Jewish Childhood” (see
here). So although Walker wasn’t lying when he referred to Abt as a
Jew, his claim that Abt “offered” to defend Oswald in court was a lie; because
Abt
never made such an offer.
Although the reader may believe that Walker simply received
false information, there is good reason to believe that this was a deliberate
lie by Walker. First of all, let’s consider that Robert Morris had been one of
Walker’s attorneys (see the thread entitled “Robert John Morris” at the ROKC
forum). Secondly, let’s consider that Walker himself probably held anti-Semitic
beliefs. When Walker testified before the Senate Armed Service sub-committee in
early 1962, George Lincoln Rockwell (the founder of the American Nazi Party)
was present (see
here). According to
a journalist named Tom Kelly, Walker assaulted him (Kelly) after he asked Walker
if he would like to “disavow” Rockwell; this was after Kelly told Walker that
Rockwell had praised him (see
here).
Furthermore, according to an article in the “Enquirer” of New York, Walker was
“affiliated” with Rockwell and the American Nazi Party (see
here).
Taking the above into consideration, it’s apparent that
Walker had Nazi/anti-Semitic beliefs. Another point to keep in mind is that
during his testimony before the Warren Commission, Walker referred to Ruby by
his actual Jewish surname, Rubenstein, when discussing the possibility that
Ruby was involved with Oswald in a conspiracy to assassinate the President. As
a matter of fact, Walker told the Warren Commission the following; “I think the
fact that Rubenstein shot Oswald suggests plenty. I am convinced he couldn’t
have shot him except for one basic reason, and maybe many others, but to keep
him quiet” (WC Volume XI, page 423). Although I don’t believe Walker had any
direct involvement in the assassination, I nevertheless believe he had
foreknowledge of it; and that he was part of the plot to give the public the
impression that Jews were involved in the assassination. Also of note is that
during the riots at Oxford Mississippi in September and October, 1962 (which
Walker was involved with) Joseph P. Grinnan was reported to be a “volunteer
aide” for Walker; and to “keep arms in his automobile” (see
here).
In addition to what I have discussed above concerning why
John Abt was recommended to Oswald as an attorney, I believe it also had to do
with the fact that Abt was Jewish. I believe that by getting Professor Charles
Webster to recommend to Oswald that he ask for a Jewish attorney who had
defended members of the CP USA, people such as Robert Morris had hoped that
this would give the public the impression that Oswald was part of a Jewish
Communist conspiracy to assassinate the President. In fact, as I mentioned previously,
I believe Robert Morris may have been the so-called mastermind behind the idea
of recommending to Oswald that he contact John Abt to represent him. Let’s keep
in mind that Abt argued against the McCarran Act before the U.S. Supreme Court
in 1960; and defended the CP USA against it (see
here and
here). For the
uninformed reader, the
Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee on Internal Security was created to
study and investigate the administration,
operation, and enforcement of the McCarran Act; and as stated
previously, Robert Morris had served as its chief counsel from 1951 to 1953 and
from
1956 to 1958. Although Morris
was no longer its chief counsel in 1960, given his association with the Subcommittee,
Morris was probably familiar with Abt.
Before concluding this section of the essay, there are a few
more individuals I would like to discuss. The first is Richard Girnt Butler.
Butler was a vile, racist, anti-Semitic individual who, according to researcher
David Boylan, knew Lawrence Howard of INTERPEN fame. This is the same Lawrence
Howard who was “very reluctant” to admit knowing Robert Morris (see
here and
here). Whilst I have not yet been able to determine if Richard
Butler was related to Lieutenant George Butler of the DPD, given the likelihood
that George Butler was involved in the plot to give the public the impression
that Jews were involved in the assassination, I think it would prove to be most
interesting if it can be determined that they were related.
The second individual I would like to discuss is Joseph
Adams Milteer. The reader may be familiar with the fact that Milteer was
recorded telling FBI informant, William Somerset, about a plot to assassinate
President Kennedy from an office building with a “high powered rifle” before
the assassination (see
here). Like
Richard Butler, Milteer was a racist and an anti-Semite. Before the
assassination, Milteer had also “predicted” that there would be “a propaganda
campaign put on how to prove to the Christian people of the world that the
Jews, the Zionist Jews, had murdered Kennedy” (see
here). As Dr. Jerry Rose writes in his article entitled “Wake up
Christians! Milteer after the assassination,” following the assassination,
Milteer made the following claim; “the Zionist Jews, Communists, had President
John Fitzgerald Kennedy killed in Dallas, Texas, by Lee Oswald, November 22,
1963” (see
here). Although I don’t
believe Milteer had any direct involvement in the assassination, it’s apparent
to me that he had foreknowledge of it.
The final individual I would like to discuss is the Jewish Bernard
Weissman. As discussed in part one of this essay, it was Weissman’s name which
was printed at the bottom of the infamous “black border ad.” The reader may be
familiar with the so-called “Oxnard call,” where a woman speaking in a low
voice predicted that President Kennedy would be assassinated at 12:30 pm Dallas
time; exactly the time at which he was shot in Dealey Plaza. The reader may
also be familiar with the fact that the caller initially predicted the
assassination would occur at 12:10 pm. For those who are not familiar with the
so-called Oxnard Call, I highly recommend reading Greg Parker’s fascinating
research on it (see
here). As both
Parker and I believe, the caller was most likely in radio contact with the
conspirators in Dallas; and that the initial plot to assassinate the President
at circa 12:10 pm was aborted.
This now brings me back to Bernard Weissman. In my opinion,
Weissman may have been the designated patsy for the assassination plot at circa
12:10 pm. If this were the case, and if Weissman didn’t turn up at the location
along the motorcade route where he was supposed to be, then this could explain
why the assassination plot at circa 12:10 pm didn’t go ahead as planned.
Although I don’t firmly believe that Weissman was the designated patsy, there
are some indications that he knew the President would be assassinated sometime
between 12:10 pm and 12:30 pm. When Weissman testified before the Warren
Commission, he claimed that he and his friend William Burley were to meet with
Larrie Schmidt; the President of CUSA at a place called the Ducharme Club in
Dallas; and that Burley was waiting to pick him up between 12:10 and 12:30 pm
(WC Volume V, pages 515 and 516).
The reader should note that Weissman claimed Burley was
waiting for him between the time of the initial prediction by the Oxnard caller
as to when the President would be assassinated and the time the President was
actually assassinated in Dealey Plaza. Although this could be just a bizarre
coincidence, Weissman may have been trying to give the Warren Commission the
impression that he couldn’t have been involved in the assassination. Whilst the
reader may believe that Weissman couldn’t have been the designated patsy for
the aborted 12:10 pm assassination plot because he was a right-winger, we
should consider that there may have been a post assassination plan to give the
public the impression that Weissman was a Communist pretending to be a
right-winger. Another point to keep in mind is that as Warren Commission member
Hale Boggs claimed during Weissman’s testimony before the commission, Jews in
Germany were described (amongst other things) as being Communists (ibid, page
501).
Robert Gerald Storey Sr., H. Louis Nichols, and Joseph Brantley Brown
Jr.
In the previous section of this essay, I discussed the
possibility that Professor Charles W. Webster from Southern Methodist
University had recommended John Abt as an attorney to Oswald; and that Webster
was associated with William James Lowery and Robert Morris. Another person of
interest whom Webster (undoubtedly) knew was attorney Robert Gerald Storey Sr. The
reader may recognise Storey as being an attorney who was part of the “State
Court of Inquiry” appointed by Governor John Connally to conduct an investigation
into Oswald’s murder; and then report back to Connally on the findings (see the
thread entitled “Robert Gerald Storey” at the ROKC forum). Storey was present
during some of the testimonies by witnesses before the Warren Commission; such
as the testimony of Jack Ruby. During the Infamous Nuremberg War trials (where
several high ranking Nazis were tried for crimes during World War II), Storey
was part of the prosecution team (ibid).
From 1921 to 1922,
Storey served as a national executive committeeman of the American Legion
(ibid). The potential significance of this is that (as mentioned above)
Jack Charles Cason told the FBI during a post assassination interview that he
was a former commander of American Legion post No. 53 in Dallas, Texas. From 1947
to 1959, Storey was the Dean of Southern Methodist University law School
(ibid). As I mentioned above, Charles Webster was a professor of law at SMU
from at least August, 1956. With this in mind, there can be no doubt that
Storey and Webster were well acquainted. In Part one of this essay, one of the
individuals I discussed was Louise Raggio; a friend of Lyndon Johnson who was
Ruth Paine’s divorce attorney, and who (like her husband Grier Raggio) likely
had ties to the 112th MIG in Dallas, Texas. Louise Raggio graduated from SMU
with her law degree in 1952 (ibid). Therefore, there can be little doubt that
Raggio and Storey knew each other.
According to researchers Harold Weisberg and Bruce Adamson,
Storey had an office inside the Republic National Bank building; and as
researcher Greg Parker pointed out, the Republic National Bank was identified
as being a conduit of CIA funds since the year 1958 (ibid). Also of note is
that Dallas district attorney Henry Wade told the FBI that Storey claimed he
had either worked for or with the CIA in Europe (ibid). Storey was also a
combat intelligence officer for the U.S. Air Force in London (ibid). Another
person of interest who had office space inside the Republic National Bank
building was Oswald’s so-called best friend, George DeMohrenschildt. In
February, 1964, Weeden B. Nichols; the Vice President and building manager of
the Republic National Bank Building in Dallas, Texas, informed the FBI that
from September, 1954 to May, 1959, DeMohrenschildt occupied two rooms inside
the building (WCD 555, page 9).
As I discussed previously, on the day following the
assassination, H. Louis Nichols; the President of the Dallas Bar Association,
informed news reporters that Oswald told him if he couldn’t get John Abt to
represent him, he wanted an attorney from the ACLU to represent him; and that
Oswald told him he was a member of the ACLU. I previously expressed my belief
that by associating Oswald with the ACLU, the conspirators wanted to reinforce
the belief that Oswald was part of a Communist conspiracy to assassinate the
President and to “overthrow” the Government. I believe Nichols was involved in
this scheme. Let’s take into account the fact that Nichols was a member of the
U.S. Army reserves (see
here). As
Greg Parker pointed out, the U.S. Army reserves were a “recruiting ground” for
Army intelligence (see the thread entitled “Send Lawyers Guns & Money Pt2
at the ROKC forum). Another individual of interest who was a member of the U.S.
Army reserves is Michael Paine (this was discussed in part one of this essay).
When H. Louis Nichols testified before the Warren
Commission, he stated his business address was “1200 Republic Bank Building,
Dallas” (WC Volume VII, page 326). According to Bruce Adamson, Nichols and
Robert Storey Sr. knew each other (see
here).
Another interesting occupant of the Republic National Bank Building was
attorney Eugene Murphy Locke. Locke was a friend of Lyndon Johnson who was the
chairman of the State Democratic Executive
Committee of Texas; and a member of both the Dallas and American Bar
Association (see here and here). As researchers such as
Gayle Nix Jackson have pointed out, on November 14, 1963, Secret Service agents
Winston Lawson and Forrest Sorrels visited Locke at the Republic National Bank
Building to discuss various aspects of President Kennedy’s visit to Dallas,
which apparently included the motorcade route (WCD 3, page 61), (WC Volume XXI,
page 546).
Returning now to H. Louis Nichols, when he testified before
the Warren Commission, he claimed that he decided to visit Oswald in his jail
cell after allegedly receiving a telephone call from “another lawyer who was a
professor out at S.M.U.” who enquired if the Dallas Bar Association was doing
anything about obtaining an attorney for Oswald (WC Volume VII, page 327 and
328). Although some may argue that this was Professor Charles Webster, if
Webster and Nichols were in cahoots, it makes no sense to me that Webster would
call Nichols to enquire if the Dallas Bar Association was doing anything about
obtaining an attorney for Oswald. In my opinion, Nichols was lying to the
Warren Commission to cover his real reason for visiting Oswald in his jail
cell.
Let’s now take a look at another
individual of interest; namely, justice of the peace, Joseph Brantley Brown Jr.
Brown graduated from SMU law School in 1954, after which he spent two years in
the U.S. Army (see
here and
here). Given the fact that Brown
graduated from SMU law School in 1954, there can be little doubt that Brown was
acquainted with Robert Storey Sr.; and he may have known Professor Charles
Webster. Brown was also evidently a member of the Dallas Bar Association since
1954. The reader may be familiar with the fact that Brown’s father, Joseph
Brantley Brown Sr., was the judge who presided over the trial of Jack Ruby for
the murder of Oswald. Brown Jr.’s office was located at the Oak Cliff
Courthouse at 410 South Beckley Avenue, Dallas (see
here and
here).
According to Google Maps, this is right near the intersection of Beckley and
12th Streets.
The potential significance of this is that on the day of the
assassination, Gerald Hill reported over the Dallas Police radio that he had a
man in the car with him who could allegedly identify the man who shot and killed
officer J.D. Tippit (WCE 705, WCE 1974). This man was supposedly Tippit murder
witness, Harold Russell. However, as I discuss in my article “Gerald Hill and
the Tippit murder scene - Part 2” at my blog, there is good reason to believe
that Hill was lying when he claimed he had a witness in the car with him; and
that the man in the car with Hill may actually have been the Tippit murderer. Contrary
to what I have advocated in the past, I now believe that Hill may have dropped
the Tippit murderer off at the Oak Cliff Courthouse to hide for a while after
obtaining the revolver (WCE 143) used to kill Tippit from him.
As stated above, Brown’s father was the judge who presided
over the trial of Jack Ruby for Oswald’s murder. During Ruby’s trial, Brown Sr.
chose psychiatrist Robert L. Stubblefield as his “representative” for medical
and neurological tests to be performed on Ruby to assess his sanity. The
following is from the Memoirs of Brown Sr.; “It was about January 18
th
[1964] that Mr. [Melvin] Belli came to me and said he wanted Ruby to undergo a
thorough series of medical and neurological tests under court supervision. They
would include spinal fluid studies and an electroencephalogram… I picked Dr.
Robert Stubblefield, Chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at the University
of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas as my representative. Thus, I
became the first judge in Texas to have a psychiatric consultant. I was
forbidden to communicate with the jury who would find Jack Ruby legally sane or
insane” (see
here).
Although it may be just a bizarre coincidence, when
Stubblefield was charged with giving former general Edwin Walker a psychiatric
evaluation for his involvement in the riots at Oxford, Mississippi in September
and October, 1962, Stubblefield’s attorney was Professor Charles Webster. One
of the attorneys who represented Walker during the psychiatric evaluation was
Robert Morris (see
here and
here). Therefore, there can be little
doubt that Morris was acquainted with Stubblefield. During Ruby’s trial,
Stubblefield claimed that he believed Ruby was legally sane when he shot Oswald
(see
here). When Ruby’s attorney,
Melvin Belli, argued that Ruby was legally insane and asked Brown Sr. for a
directed verdict of acquittal, Brown overruled him (see
here).
Assuming that both Brown and Stubblefield were involved in a
plot to give the public the impression that Ruby was legally sane at the time
he shot Oswald, it begs the question of why they wanted the public to believe
this. In my opinion, it may have been part of the scheme to give the public the
impression that Jews were behind the assassination. As mentioned before, both
Lt. George Butler and reserve Captain Charles Oliver Arnett informed the DPD
they had information that Oswald was the illegitimate son of the Jewish Jack
Ruby. By getting Stubblefield to claim that he believed Ruby was legally sane
at the time he shot Oswald (and therefore knew what he was doing), I believe
certain individuals involved in the conspiracy had hoped that the public would
come to believe that Ruby was involved in a Jewish conspiracy with Oswald to
assassinate the President; and that he (Ruby) shot Oswald to prevent him from
implicating him in such a conspiracy. On a final note, it is interesting that
Robert Morris criticised Melvin Belli for (amongst other things) his criticisms
of Brown Sr. at the end of the Ruby trial (see
here).
Conclusions
After having spent many hours over the past few years
reading through various DPD reports, FBI reports, Secret Service reports,
Warren Commission testimony transcripts, and other reports and interviews,
there are simply too many reasons for me to NOT believe that individuals
associated with U.S. Army intelligence/counter-intelligence were behind the
assassination. There is also too much evidence for me to NOT believe that
certain individuals involved the conspiracy wanted to give the public the
impression that this was some sort of a “Jewish Communist” conspiracy
. Although some may argue this is
a ridiculous assertion because they believe certain individuals with Jewish
ancestry were involved in the assassination, let’s keep in mind that not all
individuals of Jewish ancestry consider themselves “Jewish.” For example, Dan
Burros; a man of Jewish ancestry, was a member of the American Nazi Party (see
here).
As I mentioned before, one thing I am absolutely certain of is that the conspirators wanted to
provoke a war between the United States and Cuba to overthrow Fidel Castro and
his communist regime. I believe the reason this didn’t go ahead as hoped is
because some individuals involved in the conspiracy (such as Lyndon Johnson)
feared a war with Cuba would eventually lead to a nuclear war with the Soviet
Union. Let me also clarify one thing; I don’t believe Lyndon Johnson was the
so-called mastermind of the assassination. However, I strongly believe he at
least knew President Kennedy would be assassinated. In volume three of his book
“Lee Harvey Oswald’s Cold War: Why the Kennedy assassination should be
reinvestigated” (a book I am very much looking forward to reading), Greg Parker
will be presenting incriminating evidence against an individual with close ties
to Johnson. Whilst I am confident that not too many people
will agree with all of the conclusions I have reached in this two part essay, I
nevertheless hope the reader has found this two part essay to be somewhat
enlightening.
