The Psy Ops Part of the Plan that Failed
THE COVERT CRACK IN THE DEALEY PLAZA PLAN
Previously Posted: The Black Prop Op that Failed
“Black Propaganda is a fundamental intelligence operation…because it never
identifies its real source and pretends to originate within or close to the
enemy.”
- Ladislas Farago
TWO CONSPIRACIES – The Murder and the Cover-Up
There are two documented conspiracies associated with the assassination of
President Kennedy – the first was the arrangement of his murder, while the
second concerns the cover-up, deception and thwarting of justice. The second
conspiracy was made part of the first, and continues today, so it should concern us all.
The recent mainstream media attention given to the decades old story of the Cuban who was in Dallas who flew back to Cuba on a flight alone is one, the TV reports by former CIA Agent Bob Bair (JFK Declassified - Tracking Oswald), and the book by former New York Times reporter Phil Shenon all try to imply that Oswald killed JFK alone, but he did so for Castro, or inspired by Castro, or encouraged by Castro agents, none of which is true. Then as, detailed in the recent article in Kennedys and Kings, the Cuban Studies Institute issued a report trying to tie Oswald to Castro, continuing the fake cover-story today.

Then as, detailed in the recent article in Kennedys and Kings, the Cuban Studies Institute issued a report trying to tie Oswald to Castro, continuing the fake cover-story today.
The evidence of both the assassination and cover-up being virtual covert
intelligence operations comes in the form of fingerprints – as Senator Richard
Schweiker (R. Pa) put it - the distinct fingerprints of intelligence
techniques at work. Evidence of the first conspiracy comes in the form of
foreknowledge - individuals who had knowledge of the assassination before it
occurred and expressed this knowledge to others.
Sun Tzu, the fifth century Chinese philosopher and author of the classic
manual “The Art of War” said that foreknowledge “cannot be elicited
by spirits or obtained by magic” but rather can only be acquired from an
operational network of spies. “Foreknowledge,” he said, “is the reason the
enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move.”'
Such foreknowledge is obtained by what Sun Tzu
called the “Divine Skein,” a skein being a net, like a fisherman’s net that
pulls in information, a network of spies, - an intelligence network.

].
Proof of the second conspiracy – evidence of the cover-story stems from the
fact that very distinct and identifiable black propaganda operations were
conducted before the assassination, and continue to operate today to maintain
security and protect those responsible for the first conspiracy. This very
distinct, descriptive and deceptive black propaganda disinformation operation
attempted, but failed to blame the Dealey Plaza operation on Cuban Communists
and Fidel Castro.
That people had foreknowledge of the assassination before it occurred and black
propaganda operations were conducted in concert with the murder are clearly
established facts that would not exist at all if the murder was the work of a
lone nut and clearly indicates that the assassination was carried out by
trained covert intelligence operatives and not by a lone wolf or the Mafia.
This does not preclude however, members of organized crime or crazy people from
being involved in the operation.
That Fidel Castro was behind the assassination is a clearly defined
disinformation campaign and was made a part of the deception plan - the
pre-prepared cover story that continues to shield those actually responsible
for the President’s murder. Over two dozen incidents, most if of which can be
traced back to the same source, attempt to portray the assassination as the
work of Castro.

Tracing the deceptive disinformation back to its source should also give us the
source of the operation that resulted in what happened at Dealey Plaza. Since
disinformation, propaganda and psychological warfare operations utilize
explicit techniques, they can be identified, isolated and studied as to their
content, intention and source, and thus provide a window into the nest of the
responsible network.
The conspiracy behind the assassination of President
Kennedy was, in the words of government security consultant Gene Wheaton,
“convoluted but not complicated,” so we can figure it out, especially the parts
of the plan that failed – the psych-war deception part to blame the murder on
Fidel Castro.
Because that part of the plan failed, it gives us a
window of insight into the mechanism behind the operation that we wouldn’t have
if it was successful.
As one of five aspects of the Valkyrie plot to kill
Hitler that was to be utilized against Castro but redirected to JFK in Dallas,
the idea to falsely blame communists for the crime just didn’t take hold – and
has been completely debunked, except for those agents, operators and assets of
the responsible intelligence network who continue to parrot the party line.
Those who pre-planned the Dealey Plaza operation to
kill President Kennedy assumed that the assassination would be identified as a
conspiracy and intentionally deflected the attention of the law enforcement and
public opinion using black propaganda techniques to implicate a Fidel Castro
and shield the identity of the actual sponsors.
Professors Peter Dale Scott and John Newman and
former House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) attorney Dan Hardway
have all called attention to the significance of what Scott calls the “managed
Oswald stories,” – the “Phase One” black propaganda and disinformation campaign
to blame what happened at Dealey Plaza on Fidel Castro – a clearly defined
intelligence operation that continues today.
John Newman's Hypothesis One is that, "At some
point in 1962, regardless of how much earlier one might have wanted President
Kennedy to be assassinated, the contours of the plot that eventually emerged
began to fall into place: An American Marxist, Lee Harvey Oswald would appear
to have assassinated JFK, and to have done so for Fidel Castro with the
assistance of the KGB."
PETER DALE SCOTT – The Deeper Truth Still Not Revealed
Peter Dale Scott in Deep Politics 3 writes:
Peter Dale Scott in Deep Politics 3 writes:
“In the days after the murders in Dallas the U.S.
was flooded with dubious stories, most of them swiftly discredited, linking Oswald
to either a Cuban or Soviet conspiracy. Those which most preoccupied the FBI
and CIA all came out of Mexico. These stories exhibited certain common
characteristics.”
“1. They all came from either directly from an
intelligence source, or from someone in the hands of an intelligence agency.
Nearly always the agency involved was the Mexican DFS or secret police. The
DFS, along with the Nicaraguan intelligence service, which was also a source,
were under CIA tutelage.”
“2 The Stories changed over time, to support either a pro-conspiratorial hypothesis (‘Phase One’) or a rebuttal of this (“’Phase Two’).”
“3. The Warren Commission was led to believe that the ‘Phase One’ stories were without basis. In fact a number of unresolved anomalies suggest that behind them was some deeper truth, still not revealed.”
“4. As noted the two main sources, Silvia Duran and Gilberto Alvarado, gave varying stories while detained by the DFS. Of the two, Duran was actually tortured, and Alvarado reportedly threatened with torture... In retrospect, these stories should not have been taken seriously. In fact the CIA was able to rely on them, not as a source of truth, but as a source of coercive influence over the rest of the government. It will help us to understand what was going on if we refer to the stories, not as 'information' or even as 'allegations,' but as MANAGED STORIES. To say this leaves open the question of who were the ultimate managers – the DFS, U.S. Officers in Mexico, or higher authorities in Washington.”
“The full history is complex and confused, with many unanswered questions. But nearly all of these managed stories, along with others outside Mexico.....resolve into this simple pattern of a Phase One/Phase Two evolution. To this day both 'Phase-One' and 'Phase-Two' versions are trotted out from time to time. These control public perceptions of the Kennedy assassination seize the debate from genuine critics who have less access to the media.”
“I do wish to argue that these managed stories, fleeting and insubstantial though they are, were of central importance in determining the outcome of the Kennedy assassination investigation. In succeeding years, furthermore, the discredited ‘Phase-One’ stories have been revived to manipulate public opinion, even after the CIA and FBI had agreed on a ‘Phase-Two’ interpretation of Oswald's movements in Mexico City. In 2013, for example, the discredited Garro story of the twist party was revived in a mainstream book by Philip Shenon. [Philip Shenon, A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination (New York: Henry Holt and Company, 2013), 496-98 etc.].”

John Newman agrees with this assessment and adds how
this disinformation campaign continues today:
“As I predicted six months ago, we are up against a full
court press by the Castro-killed-Kennedy psych-warfare frame op cooked up by
the true perpetrators behind the president’s murder. And, now, beginning with
Shenon (prompted by Arlen Specter) in 2012, followed by other famous amazing
experts like FOX’s O’Rilley, MSNBC’s Matthews, and UVA’s Sabato, it has been
regurgitated again. If that wasn’t enough, we are being fed that old canard
again today by hundreds of news items written by youngsters whose entire
perspective and information about the assassination has taken place in just the
last two weeks.”
That Fidel Castro was behind the assassination is clearly defined
disinformation and part of the deception plan - the pre-prepared “cover story”
that shields those actually responsible for the President’s murder. Over a
dozen incidents, most if not all of which can be traced back to the same
source, attempt to portray the assassination as the work of Castro or his
G2.
Tracing the deceptive disinformation back to its source should also give us the
source of the operation that resulted in what happened at Dealey Plaza. Since
disinformation, propaganda and psychological warfare operations utilize
explicit techniques, they can be identified, isolated and studied as to their
content, intention and source, and thus provide a window into the nest of the
responsible network.
BLACK PROP
OPS
Paul
Linebarger, a professor at the School for Advanced International Studies at John
Hopkins University, also taught the black arts of propaganda and psychological
warfare operations at his Washington D.C. home. Every Friday evening student
spies would take round-a-bout means to unobtrusively get to his house where
they learned the secret techniques of propaganda and deception.
Not a subject found in the curriculum of most
colleges, the textbook is rare, Linebarger’s“Psychological Warfare –
International Propaganda and Communications” (Arno Press, 1948, 1952,
1972, Duell, Sloan and Pearce, N.Y.) is a still used by today’s psychological
warriors.
One of his students, Joseph Burkholder Smith (“Portrait of a Cold Warrior.” G. Putnam/s Sons, N.Y., 1976),
relates how Linebarger explained that Black Propaganda is “carefully labeled to
be acts of the enemy.” According to Linebarger, “Psychological warfare, in the
broad sense, consists of the application of parts of the science called
psychology to the conduct of war; psychological warfare comprises the use of
propaganda against the enemy, together with such military operational measures
as may supplement the propaganda. Propaganda may be described in turn, as
organized persuasion by non-violent means. War itself may be considered to be,
among other things, a violent form of persuasion. War is waged against the
minds, not the bodies of the enemy.”
The term propaganda stems from the name of the department of the Vatican which
had the duty of propagating the faith. Specifically defined, propaganda
consists of “the planned use of any form of public or mass produced
communication designed to affect the minds and emotions of a given group for a
specific public purpose, whether military, economic or political. Military
propaganda consists of the planned use of any form of communications designed
to affect the minds and emotions of a given enemy, neutral or friendly foreign
group for a specific strategic or tactical purpose.”
Note that if the communication is not planned, it cannot be called propaganda,
and that if does not originate from an intelligence agency or service, it is
not disinformation.
Linebarger developed the STASM formula for spot analysis, in which propaganda
can be distinguished by the consideration of five elements – 1) Source, 2)
Time, 3) Audience, 4) Subject, 5) Mission. According to Linebarger, this
formula works best in the treatment of monitored materials of which the source
is known. First point to note is the character of the source – the true source
(who really got it out?), the ostensible source (whose name is signed to it?);
also the first use source (who used it the first time?) and the second source
(who claims merely to be using it as a quotation?).
It is soon evident that the mere attribution of
source is a job of high magnitude. A systematic breakdown of the STASM formula
produces the following analysis outline: applicable to any single propaganda
item, civil or military, in war or peace, spoken, visual or printed. There are
five kinds of propaganda: Defense – maintains an accepted form of social
action; Offensive – interrupts social action not desired; Conversionary –
change allegiance; Divisive – split apart enemy components; Consolidation –
insure compliance of occupied civilians; Counterpropaganda – refutes. Security
is designed to keep useful information from reaching the enemy, while
propaganda operations are designed to get information to him.
According to Smith, “Linebarger’s two leading operational heroes whose
activities formed the basis for lessons he wished us to learn and whose
examples he thought we should follow were Lt. Col. Edward G. Lansdale and E.
Howard Hunt,” who had what Linebarger called “black minds.”
Besides his own textbook, Linebarger used another book in his classes, - “The Big Con” by David W. Maurer
(Pocket Books, N.Y., 1949), which is the book that was used as the basis for
the screenplay of the movie “The Sting.”
[ See: The Sting at Dealey Plaza: http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-sting-at-dealey-plaza.html?m=1 ]
Maurer, a Kentucky linguistics
professor, began to study the unique slang of confidence men, but developed
that interest into a unique analysis of the Big Con confidence games that
proliferated during the early part of the last century. That book, “gives ideas
on how to recruit agents, how to handle them and how to get rid of them
peacefully when they’re no use to you any longer.” What the con-artists called
“blowing off the Mark.”
Linebarger concluded,
“Believe me, that last one is the toughest job of all,” as David A. Phillips
learned with Antonio Vecina, because even though the mark has been taken, they
enjoyed the play and want to do it again, much like Veciana wanted to
re-establish his association with “Maurice Bishop,” rather than blowing his
cover.
As Maurer writes: “The big time confidence games are in reality, only carefully
rehearsed plays in which every member of the cast EXCEPT THE MARK knows his
part perfectly.”
According to Linebarger, “Propaganda is directed to the subtle niceties of
thought by which people maintain their personal orientation in an unstable
interpersonal world. Propaganda must use the language of the mother, the
schoolteacher, the lover, the bully, the policeman, the actor, the
ecclesiastic, the buddy, the newspaperman, all of them in turn. And propaganda
analysis, in weighing and evaluating propaganda, must be even more
discriminating whether the propaganda is apt to hit its mark or not.”
Those who pre-planned the Dealey Plaza operation to kill President Kennedy
assumed that the assassination would be considered a conspiracy and
intentionally deflected the attention of the law enforcement and public opinion
using black propaganda techniques to implicate a Fidel Castro and Communists in
the operation, and shield the identity of the actual sponsors.
DAN HARDWAY
Former HSCA investigator Dan Hardway said at a
conference presentation: "If (the 'Oswald, the Pro-Castro Commie' story)
was that coordinated, that quick, and as detailed, it would be reasonable to
infer that it had been laid on in advance. I set out to identify the sources of
these stories that came out immediately after the assassination with detailed
information on Oswald and his pro-Castro activities. I started asking for the
CIA files on all those sources. I got a lot of them before we lost access, but
I did not get them all. That was one of the things I was really pressing on,
when I got shut down."
In a deposition in the Morley v. CIA case Hardway
made some rather specific allegations that can be followed up and provide what
they call “actionable intelligence” that could make a significant breakthrough
in the case.
In the Declaration of Dan L. Hardway [05/11/16 Re:
Civil Action 03-0254 (RJL) Page 6 – 8], he states that: “During the
course of my research I was able…. to review CIA 201 files on individuals who
had been sources for stories that appeared in the immediate aftermath of
the assassination tying LHO (Lee Harvey Oswald) to Castro or the Fair Play
for Cuba Committee. I was able to establish that most of the sources of
these stories were, or had been, agents or assets used at one time or another
by David Atlee Phillips…..I had been able to document links between David
Phillips and most of the sources of the disinformation that came out immediately
after the assassination about Oswald and his pro-Castro proclivities.”
“I confronted Phillips with those in an
interview at our offices on August 24, 1978. Phillips …was forced to admit that
many of the sources were former assets that he had managed in the late 1950s
and early 1960s – but were also assets whom he was personally managing in the
fall of 1963. Mr. Phillips was asked, but could not explain why the information
that came from anti-Castro groups and individuals pointed to Cuban connections
all seemed to come from assets he had handled personally, but acknowledged that
was the case.”
“An extension of materials used in preparation for
this interview of David Phillips has not been found so far as I know. The
memorandum of that interview has not been located in the official records of
the HSCA, although a partial copy has been circulated in the JFK assassination
research community.”
“Phillips stated that he had no familiarity with the
Catherwood Foundation or Cummins Catherwood or E. Wharton Shober. He was not
specifically familiar with the Foundation’s Cuban Relief operation in Miami.
Phillips said that debriefing centers in Miami were under the aegis of the CIA
but the Agency only got the product…, they were actually run by another agency.
He said that it many have been ran by military intelligence.”
That the black propaganda aspect of the plan failed
compromises the whole operation and gives us an open window - a crack in the
door into the intelligence network responsible for the otherwise successful
Dealey Plaza operation.
The failure of the Covert Cover Story - both Phase
One – (Cuban Commie) and Phase Two (Lone Nut) - provide the strands of loose
ends that when pulled, make the whole operation come apart. Now it’s time
to pull that strand of the network that killed a President and got away with
it, thus far.
There are a number of other aspects of the Psych War
Castro Cuban Commie Cover-Story that I have worked on in some detail that
should be dealt with but separately.
One is about the “Twist Party” where Oswald was
supposedly in the company of two other Americans, a red-haired Cuban while in
attendance at one of Sylvia Odio’s house parties where, according to Phil
Shenon, Oswald could have been encouraged to kill JFK by Cuban embassy
personnel. Another concerns the American – Man on the Motorcycle who reportedly
gave Oswald a ride to the Cuban embassy on the back of his motorcycle. And
finally there is enough on the public record that indicates the Scrips Howard
New Service (SHNS) worked closely with the CIA and NSA in distribution of
disinformation and black propaganda, examples of which will be given.
In addition, since I wrote this I have developed the
hypothesis that the Dealey Plaza Operation was originally planned for Fidel
Castro an assassination and coup based on the German military plot to kill
Hitler – the Valkyrie Plan that culmulated in the failed July 20, 1944 bombing.
Of the five aspects of that plan that were utilized in the Dealey Plaza
Operation, the final one is to blame the conspiracy on Communists, which fits
in very well with what is detailed here.
