RELEVANT ARMS CACHES
Since the source of the bullets said to be used in
the assassination of President Kennedy have never been identified, I would
suggest they came from one of three known arms caches.
Like cigarettes, you can’t buy individual bullets
but must purchase them in packs and cases that are labeled and can be traced. The
bullets and shells found at the Texas School Book Depository were traced from
their serial numbers to a case of bullets sold to the US Marine Corps in 1954,
and because the USMC does not have a weapon that could fire that caliber of
bullets, it is presumed they were to be used during a covert intelligence
operation, possibly in Guatemala or Iran.
There are a number of guns and arms caches that come
into play in the JFK assassination drama;
1) The
Houma Bunker raid – that took place in the summer of 1961 in New Orleans when
Oswald was in USSR. It included David Ferrie, Sergio Aracha Smith, Gordon
Novel, his wife – Marlene Mancuso – a former Miss New Orleans beauty, Luis
Rabel Nunez, Layton Martins, Carlos Quiroga, Andrew Blackmon and others. They
broke into, or were given the key to an underground arms bunker in Houma, La.,
a property owned by the Schulemburger, a French company headed by Jean deMenil,
who met Oswald when he returned to Texas. The arms were taken to Guy
Bannister’s 544 Camp Street offices and David Ferrie’s apartment, and were said
to be used for anti-Castro Cuban operations or the OAS French Generals revolt
against deGaul for his Algeria policies.
2) The
U-Haul trailer filled with guns and arms William Harvey and the CIA provided to
John Rosselli for his team of anti-Castro Cuban commandos who were attempting
to infiltrate Cuba to kill Castro.
From Spartacus-Educational:
In February, 1963, William
Harvey was removed as head of the ZR/RIFLE project. Harvey was
now sent to Italy where he became Chief of Station in Rome. Harvey
was convinced that Robert Kennedy had been responsible for his
demotion. A friend of Harvey's said that he "hated Bobby Kennedy's guts
with a purple passion".
Harvey continued to keep in contact with Johnny
Roselli. According to Richard D. Mahoney: "On April 8, Rosselli flew
to New York to meet with Bill Harvey. A week later, the two men met again in
Miami to discuss the plot in greater detail... On April 21 he (Harvey) flew
from Washington to deliver four poison pills directly to Rosselli, who got them
to Tony Varona and hence to Havana. That same evening, Harvey and Ted Shackley,
the chief of the CIA's south Florida base, drove a U-Haul truck filled with the
requested arms through the rain to a deserted parking lot in Miami. They got
out and handed the keys to Rosselli."
3) The
Venezulian Arms Cache found on a Venezuelian beach, the last major issue JFK
delt with in the Oval Office before leaving on his trip to Texas. The CIA
director himself took a weapon from the cache into the Oval Office and there’s
a photo of JFK being shown the weapon, that the CIA falsely claimed originated
from Cuba and bound for communist guerillas in Venezuela.
David Talbot “Brothers”: “On November 19, three days before the assassination, President Kennedy was starteled when Richard Helms opened a canvas air bag in the Oval Office and pulled out a submachine gun. The weapon Helms claimed, was part of a Cuban cache that had been found on a beach in Venezuela – dramatic proof of Castro’s brazen effort to subvert his neighbors’ governments. Helm’s message was all to predictable; it was time to get rid of Castro. But Kennedy seemed more disturbed by the fact that the CIA official had been able to blithely slip an automatic weapon into the Oval Office unmolested by his Secret Service centurions. “It gives me a feeling of confidence,” he dryly told Helms.”
