THE CIA-MAFIA, HITLER AND JFK
WHY THE JUDGE IS WRONG ON TWO POINTS IN HIS JULY 17
RULING
“…. the connection between these records and
President Kennedy’s assassination are tenuous at best, resting on the
Plaintiff’s theory that the Kennedy assassination was motivated by U.S. efforts
to assassinate Fidel Castro, efforts that prompted the CIA to study
assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler. So this case is two assassinations
removed from the assassination of President Kennedy.” – U.S. District Judge
Trevor N. McFadden – July 17, 2018
After reading Judge McFadden’s ruling that the CIA
completed a lawful search of its records and could not find any trace or
references to the “detailed study” they conducted of the German military plot
to kill Hitler, I found it hard to believe. Besides the incredulity of the CIA having lost such a study, I
was taken aback by two clearly false statements the Judge makes in his ruling.
I don’t know about any of the legal points the D.C.
District Court Judge McFadden made in his July 17, 2018 ruling but he is clearly wrong on two key points. He ruled that the CIA fulfilled
its legal obligations in response to the Assassination Archives and Research
Center (AARC) request for any CIA records on the July 20, 1944 assassination
attempt on Adolph Hitler that the CIA was studying in detail in order to use
against Fidel Castro.
In that ruling, Judge McFadden was absolutely wrong when
he said the assassination of President Kennedy was “two assassinations removed”
from the plot to kill Hitler and the plots to kill Castro since neither Hitler nor Castro were assassinated. Only President Kennedy was killed and the Judge was
wrong in his assertion that links between the Hitler plot and the murder of the
president “were tenuous, at best.”
THE SIGNIFIANCE OF THE CIA-MAFIA PLOTS TO KILL
CASTRO
Before dealing with the less than tenuous ties
between the Valkyrie plot and what happened at Dealey Plaza, it is a
certifiable fact that the failed CIA-Mafia plots to kill Fidel Castro are
intricately linked directly to the assassination of President Kennedy.
Only Warren Commissioner and former CIA director Allen Dulles knew of the CIA-Mafia
plots to kill Castro, but he didn’t share that information with the rest of the
Commission and the facts didn’t become public knowledge until the 1970s.
WARREN COMMISSION ATTORNEY SAMUEL STERN’S HSCA
INTERVIEW
Even Warren Commission staff recognized the serious
implications of the CIA-Mafia plots and said so to the House Select Committee
on Assassinations (HSCA), as reported in this memo that reads:
Former
Warren Commission counsel Sam Stern was interviewed in his Washington Law
office on Auguest 22, 1978. Mr. Stern stated that his duties on the Commission
involved handling the investigation into Lee Oswald’s background, specifically,
the intelligence agencies awareness of Oswald prior to the assassination.
Secondly, Stern stated that he had been in charge of evaluating “the efficacy
of Presidential protection,” as well as preparing a history of American
political assassinations.
Stern
stated that had the Commission learned of the CIA-Mafia conspiracies to
assassinate Fidel Castro, “we would have gone much more into Cuba, the CIA,
and the Mafia. We would have had a whole host of new avenues calling for
investigation. And we would have obviously had to develop some new sources
of information – other than the agency.”
"I
am less certain now than at the time we wrote the Report. Less certain that
Oswald acted alone. Actually, I wasn't all that certain at the time. I thought
the best evidence supported the final findings, and I agreed with them, but I
wasn't tremendously firm or immovable in that, in my own mind. I just thought
there were a lot of straws left.....I have become more skeptical about the
Warren Commission findings and everything else that is a part of official life,
I suppose. Everything has become discredited over the years since 1963. You
don’t really believe in things the way you did back then.
Mr.
Stern stated that “at the outset we realized that there was no possible way to
penetrate any official involvement in a cover-up or conspiracy if there was
such complicity.” Stern stated that he and several of his Commission colleagues
discussed what they regarded as “the fact that the agencies – the FBI and CIA –
could formulate and maintain a cover-up which no one would ever penetrate. We
of course did not believe that was so. And I still don’t. But we realized what
we were dealing with, in the power of these agencies. Fortunately, we believed
they were on our side.”
As Sam Stern has said, if the Warren Commission knew
about the CIA-Mafia plots to kill Castro, “…we would have gone much more
into Cuba, the CIA, and the Mafia. We would have had a whole host of new
avenues calling for investigation. And we would have obviously had to develop
some new sources of information – other than the agency.”
Even Warren Commission apologist Vincent Bugliosi,
in his book “Reclaiming History,”
leaves himself some wiggle room for conspiracy in saying that if there was one,
it involved the Cubans.
The first conspiracy theory advanced by the
anti-Castro Cuban DRE – Student Directorate – claimed that Fidel Castro was
behind Oswald and the “international communist conspiracy,” which was the
original Phase One cover-story designed to protect the operation’s actual sponsors.
When LBJ ordered that Oswald not be charged with
being part of a conspiracy, the Phase Two
– deranged lone nut scenario was adopted as the official version of events. But the Phase One Castro Cuban Commie story was revived when the CIA-Mafia plots to
kill Castro became public knowledge.
The revival of the Phase One cover story centered on
the idea that Castro knew of the CIA-Mafia plots to kill him, as he certainly
did, and retaliated, killing JFK before JFK and the CIA could kill him.
While
that motive seems plausible, it is only promoted by assets of CIA officer David Atlee Phillips. More recently the same debunked theory has been revised by former CIA intelligence
officers Brian Lettel and Bob Baer, and their media assets like Gus Russo
(Brothers in Arms) and most recently by Phil Shenon (A Cruel and Horrible Act).
But that Castro, Oswald and Cuban intelligence were
behind the Dealey Plaza operation has been shown to be false, in fact it can be
clearly demonstrated that it is a pre-designed and highly orchestrated black
propaganda psychological warfare disinformation campaign.
That is not the way the Dealey Plaza operation went
down.
The way it really happened, as former FBI agent
William Turner, CIA Cuban commando case officer Carl Jenkins and CIA
intelligence officer David Atlee Phillips all explained, President Kennedy was
killed by a team of anti-Castro Cubans who were paid and trained by the CIA to
kill Castro, but changed their target to JFK at Dealey Plaza.
As former intelligence analyst and security
specialist Gene Wheaton put it, “it was convoluted but not complicated.”
In a videotaped
interview Wheaton said: “The straight story is that there was a CIA fronted
program to assassinate Castro, and Carl (Jenkin's) was in charge of training the Cubans in
Miami to assassinate Castro and it was paid for by the CIA. They would go
fromTexas down to Mexico to shoot at
convertables, set up watermelons up in the back seat – they called it -
triangulation shooting team – in their
own words.”
“According to them (Jenkins and Cubans). They
were the ones that diverted the Castro funds and training for their own agenda
to snuff Kennedy. It was a paid element – and they were CIA people, but they
were training to assassinate Castro, but if you are trained to assassinate one
man you can assassinate anybody with that same training.. They were using the paid training program – to
divert to get Castro – because of his – Cubans, because of imprisonment of
those guys, and the failed Bay of Pigs things, and JFK backing off at the last
moment on supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion, they were furious, and still are
today – those who are still alive.”
In his unpublished novel
The AMLASH Legacy, David Atlee Phillips wrote: "I was one of those officers who handled Lee
Harvey Oswald... We gave him the mission of killing Fidel Castro in Cuba... I
don't know why he killed Kennedy. But I do know he used precisely the plan we
had devised against Castro. Thus the CIA did not anticipate the president's
assassination, but it was responsible for it. I share that guilt."
According
to Larry Hancock, the author of Someone Would Have Talked, just before his
death Phillips told Kevin Walsh, an investigator with the House Select
Committee on Assassinations: "My final take on the assassination is there
was a conspiracy, likely including American intelligence officers."
So it has been firmly established that the failed CIA-Mafia
plots to kill Hitler are intimately entwined with the successful assassination
of President Kennedy.
And the murder of the President isn’t “two
assassinations removed” from the July 20, 1944 plot to kill Hitler, because
neither Hitler nor Castro were assassinated, and all three plots actually merge
into one, the one that succeeded at Dealey Plaza.
