Rolando Cubella Secades- AMLASH RIP
Cuban Dr. Rolando Cubela Secades– also known by his CIA
code name AMLASH, died in August but his obituary didn't appear until October.
We still might not know he was dead if Jefferson Morley wasn't tipped off by
one of his sources in Florida.
Morley is on a role – having completed a new book on
Watergate, and then serving as the media relations assistant for the Mary
Ferral – Bill Simpich civil suit against the President and the National
Archives for failure to uphold the JFK Act, which garnered a lot of mainstream
media stories. Now he scooped everybody by being the first to report Cubela’s
death.
I think Cubela is a more significant character in
the JFK assassination drama than the accused assassin and self proclaimed patsy
Lee Harvey Oswald.
Most of the stories written about Cubela,
especially after his death, leave out some of the most important aspects of his
life and his association with the assassination of JFK.
As a medical student at the University of Havana,
Cubela was a leader of the anti-Batista movement and a founder of the Student
Revolutionary Directorate (DRE) that evolved from an anti-Batista organization
to an anti-Castro one.
Oswald got into a scuffle and was arrested with three DRE members
in New Orleans and the organization was run by the CIA’s George Joanides, who
later was brought out of retirement to serve as the liason with the House
Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA). The former Chief Counsel of the HSCA
G. Robert Blakey now says that the CIA interfered with his investigation and
had he known of Joanides role with the DRE he would have had him testify.
Cubela was a close friend of fellow Havana University student
Fidel Castro and Cubela was known as the assassin of a Batista henchman Antonio Blanco Rico, chief of Batista's secret police.
When Castro's movement from the mountains began to
succeed, Batista took as much money as he could gather and flew out of Cuba on
January 1, New Years Day, 1959. While Castro and his guerilla army were still
marching towards Havana, Cubela took over Batista's office, sat at his desk
and smoked his cigars. When Argentine doctor Che Guevara arrived, he wasn't
allowed in.
When Castro himself arrived in Havana, instead of
taking over Batista's office, he set up his headquarters in the penthouse
apartment on the top floor of the recently built Havana Hilton. He did so at
the invitation of the manager Brandy Brandsetter. Brandsetter was from Dallas
and served as a Colonel in Jack Crichton's US Army Reserves intelligence unit,
but who reported directly to the ACSI - Assistant Chief of Staff for
Intelligence at the Pentagon.
At the
September 25, 1963 briefing of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on CIA covert
operations against Cuba by the CIA's Desmond FitzGerald, the CIA was “studying
in detail” the German military plot to kill Hitler that culmunated in the
failed July 20, 1944 bombing at the Wolfs Lair, that was to be adapted for use
against Castro.
While FitzGerald told the Joint Chiefs they had
identified a number of high ranking Cuban officers and officials who were
disenchanted with Castro, they didn't have the confidence to talk with one
another.
That wasn't a problem in the US military as all of
the Joint Chiefs, except Maxwell Taylor, were against the president, and Taylor
missed the Fitzgerald briefing, leaving the rabid anti-Kennedy Gen. Curtis
LeMay, the Air Force Chief of Staff in charge.
While the CIA claims it no longer has any records of
their "detailed study" of the German military plot to kill Hitler, it is
quite clear that Cubela became the focus of this plan.
Cubela's bonafides as an agent were questioned by
senior CIA officers, and he was suspected of being a double agent, especially
after he met with a CIA case officer in Brazil, seeking assurance that the
assassination of Castro was approved at the highest levels of the government.
The very next day Castro appeared at a reception
at the Brazilian embassy in Havana and gave an exclusive interview to AP
correspondent Daniel Harker. While mainly protesting against the CIA commando
maritime attacks, he also said that if American officials approved
assassination of Cuban leaders, "they themselves would not be safe."
Harker’s report of his interview with Castro was
published in a newspaper in New Orleans when Oswald was living there, and it
has been suggested that if he read it, that would have supplied the much needed
motive for him to kill JFK, at Castro's behest.
One of the CIA plans to kill Castro was the
Pathfinder plan, shooting him in the head with a high powered rifle as he drove
by in an open jeep on his way to the DuPonts Xandu estate in Veradero, as he
often did.
It just so happens that Cubela had an apartment
that overlooked the coastal road to Veradero, and while meeting with his CIA
contact, he requested they provide him with a high powered rifle.
In order to assure Cubela that the plans to kill
Castro were approved by the highest authority in the US government - JFK and
RFK, he asked to meet with RFK himself. Instead, he met in Paris with Desmond
Fitzgerald, who some falsey believed was related to the Kennedys.
Cubela was meeting with Fitzgerald's assistant at
the very moment JFK was being shot and killed in Dallas, and was given a poison
pen weapon to use in killing Castro.
Fitzgerald was having lunch at an exclusive
private club in Georgetown when he learned of the assassination and quickly
left with his assistant, wondering aloud if his Cubans were involved.
That's something I think we should be wondering too.
Cubela was eventually supplied with a rifle – a Belgan one, by the CIA’s Carl Jenkins, who was the case officer of the JMWAVE Cubans
who were to carry out the Pathfinder plan to kill Castro, but that plan was “disapproved
by higher authority” (JFK and RFK).
As Jenkins told Jefferson Morley, in no uncertain terms, the
plan was to kill Castro and Cubela was to be the assassin.
These are some of the reasons why I think the Valkyrie and
Pathfinder plans to kill Castro are significantly tied to what occurred at
Dealey Plaza.
