Government By Systematic Institutionalized Assassination

  Government By Systematic Institutionalized Assassination

"The assassination of President Kennedy was a coup d'etat." - Dr. Cyril Wecht 

"I have always believed and argued that a true understanding of the Kennedy assassination will lead not to 'a few people,' but to the institutional and para-political arrangements which contribute to the way we are systematically governed." - Peter Dale Scott 

 

Professor Peter Dale Scott said that at the end of our inquiry we won't find renegade assassins, but rather an institutionalized assassination system, and if he and Dr. Wecht are correct in these conclusions, then our suspects are limited to those who took over the government, hated the President with a passion and had the power to kill him and get away with it. They also had approvals from the highest authorities other than the President, and cooperative co-conspirator necessary for the scheme to succeed.

Im sure there were other official CIA and military assassination projects  that we know about besides the CIA's ZR/RIFLE and the military's Zeta-Dioginese, as we know the MK/ULTRA project tried to developed programed assassins and Navy Lt. Com. Thomas Narut told a London Sunday Times reporter that the Navy had a similar program that recruited special soldiers for training as assassins and placed them in embassies abroad.

As the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff says in the movie Seven Days in May, the operation must be “deep and dark” – and that’s how such covert ops are described – black ops, deep and dar,k and if murder is involved, it is a “wet" operation.

The mechanism for murder was put into place, and designed, like all covert inteligence operaions, on a need to know basis using standard covert op tradecraft, beginning with a code name.

Now I have heard a number of code names said to have been used to kill JFK, Zipper, was one, “The Big Event” was another, and while I am sure there was one, I just call it The Dealey Plaza Operation (DPO), and if it was a coup, it had approvals from the highest authroities, who ensured the cover-up.

If a coup, as I suspect, then all of the major branches of government had to be either compromised or were “in on it.”

We know certain people were not “in on it,” but were compromised, such as RFK, CIA director John McCone, and most likely Gen. Maxwell Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The mechanism of murder was already in place to kill Fidel Castro – and while the others are possibile, William Harvey and the ZR/RIFlE team are the most plausible, as it centered around JMWAVE, where most of the anti-Castro action and training took place.

The covert ops run out of JMWAVE were all approved at the highest level – by the National Security Council’s Special Group and with the addition of RFK. Special Groip Augumented. And those who planned the assassination of Castro did their best to convince the Special Group Augumented and RFK to approve the plans – especially Valkyrie that developed into Dr. Rolando Cubella (AMLASH) and Pathfinder, the Carl Jenkins’ plan to have snipers shoot Castro as he rode by in an open jeep. They were the plans to kill Castro that I believe were redirectd to JFK in Dallas.

While a number of plans to have Cubans kill Castro were apparently approved, we still don't know who approved the redirection of these plans from Castro to JFK. People very high in the government had to.

Besides the National Security Council Special Group (Augumented) there were two other groups with knowledge of CIA covert operations – the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board (FIAB) and the Execuive Committee (ExCom), the small group that was formed during the Cuban Missile Crisis to form a consensus as to what action to take, and it stayed together and met informaly afterwards to consult the president.

For me, I am focusing on William Harvey, ZRRIFLE and the JMWAVE Pathfinders, as well as the two known plans to kill Castro that were developed – Valkyrie and Pathfinder.

But before putting names into the sliots of  assassination team members, it’s necessary to understand how the mechanism of death was triggered, and for that we go to  Maj. Ralph Ganis, USAF(R), a military officer and intelligence analyst who purchsed the private papers of Nazi commando leader Otto Skorzeny on line. He followed them to Texas, where some of Skorzeny’s businesses were located, fronted by his wife. Ganis recognized the connections between Skorzeny’s Texas enterprises as an intelligence network, not necessarily established to earn money, with a special association with Col. Jack Crichton, head of the 488th Intelligence unit of the US Army Reserves.

In his book, The Skorzeny Papers, Ganis explains how the government’s institutionalized the mechanism of murder and how it was was triggered – a very strict and rigerous process.

Ganis says the procedure for incompascitating a president was similar to the process of instigating a nuclear war, 

Unlike the regualar contintunity of government line of succession from President to Vice President to Speaker of the House, the lines of authority tl pull the nuclear trigger were the same for the use of nuclear weapons – President, to Secretary of Defense to Assistant Secretary of Defense to the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

As Ganis puts it: “The correct way to say it is this - there was an assassination capability inherent and located within one office of the CIA – that was highly compartmented and highly controlled. So, it’s not like the entire CIA was involved. It was literally only one office, and even then, within the office it was probably on a need to know basis… The capability itself, the Executive Action capability itself, I equate in the book to the use of Atomic Weapons. The only way to launch this capability would have been by Executive Order – by the President, or the National Command authority – that level, - the Secretary of Defense, at that level. It was a presidential, national command authority level capability. Somebody at the CIA couldn’t use it. It would even have been impossible for even rogue use. This was a Command and Control situation. A target would be designated. But in other words, to use this capability would have required Executive Approval.”

“So this small office within the CIA – called Staff D. And the guy who ran it was a man named William K. Harvey, during that time period. He managed the program. He managed that program – much like maintaining a nuclear bomber. There are US Air Force personal who man the bomber, and there’s people who maintain the bomber, but they can’t launch the bomber. That comes from the President. The same with this capability.”

And this capability – that can only be activated from the highest executive levels of government, coincides with my thesis that elements of the Valkyrie plan to kill Hiltler were used, especially the aspect of that plan that had the victim sign off and actually approve the plan and the operation, as Hitler approved Valkyrie as an emergency measure to call out the Home Guard, and with the CIA seeking JFK’s approval of their plans to kill Castro, especially AMLASH and the Pathfinder Operation.

The official approval of the Dealey Plaza Operation by those at the highest level of government had to be given, though it wasn’t by the President or the Attorney General or even the NSC Special Group, but by those in the contintunity of goverenment – LBJ, those in the law enforcment – J. E. Hoover, and those with the authority to go to war – Secretary of Defense McNamara, Assst. Secretary of Defense Gilpatrick and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and conducted in part by the Pentagon's intelligence arm, the office of Assistant Chief of Staff for Intellugence (ACSI).

It was not unlike Dr. Strangelove, where a Group Commander sends his nuclear bombers off  to atack Russia based on Wing Attack Plan R – which is activated when the normal chain of command, the president, is incapacitated or otherwise unable to function.

In his book The Day Kennedy Was Shot, Jim Bishop interviewed some of the White House Communications Agency (WHCA) radiomen, one of who told him that the power was being distributed through the war lines rather than the regular continunity of government lines, and that at one point, it was broadcast on the secure Secret Service “Charlie” channel that “The Joint Chiefs of Staff are now the president.”

Of course we know that wasn’t true because the Joint Chiefs of Staff, minus AF Chief of Staff LeMay, were meeting with the German High Command counterparts are the Pentagon, and chairman Gen. Maxwell Taylor was taking a nap.

But the approval for triggering the assassination mechanism to kill JFK might have been sent down the line from the same powers that provide for the launching of nuclear weapons, which means that Defense Secretary MacNamara, and his assistant Rosewell Gilpatrick were certainly in the loop.

MacNamara, McGeorge Bundy and Dean Rusk were three of the men who were recommended to President elect Kennedy by Harry Truman’s Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett.

While much is known about MacNamara, few know much about Gilpatrick, who played a major role in the Kennedy administration’s defense department, especially in regards to Cuba and the awarding of the TFX-fighter-bomber contract to General Dynamics over Boing.

Gilpatrick’s law firm had represented General Dynamics and there are a number of characters in the JFK story with ties to General Dynamics – one of the major defense contractors in Texas that included former Nazis in its ranks.

When the CIA’s Project Paperclip brought hundreds of former Nazi scientists to America to work on the Saturn V rocket that would take men to the moon and also sere as the nuclear missile for decades, they got the major defense contractors to hire them, and they all did, including Collins Radio, Bell Helicopter and General Dynamics, who hired former Nazi rocket man General Dornberger as a security consultant, who worked alongside former FBI agent I.F. Hale.

Hale had twin sons – who attended Arlington Heights high school with Lee Harvey Oswald, until Oswald dropped out and enlisted in the Marines. When FBI agents were on a stake out surveillance of the Las Vegas apartment of mob moll Judyth Campbell Exner, who was a paramour of Chicago mob boss Sam Giancana and President Kennedy at the same time, the FBI agents observed the Hale twins break into her apartment. But then because of their father’s association with the FBI, they did nothing but report it.

And their mother Virginia, who worked for the Texas Employment Commission, helped Oswald get the job at Jaggers-Chiles-Stoval, the graphics arts firm that put arrows and captions on U2 photos of Russia and Cuba during the Missile Crisis.

Besides the major defense contractors assisting the CIA on Project Paperclip, they are also associated together with the Defense Industrical Secruity Command – an association of defense contractors based I Columbus, Ohio, of all places.

The only reference I know of that associates this defense contractor security association with the assassiantion of President Kennedy is an unpublished manuscript that is now probably available over the internet – known as the Torbett Document, that was said to have been written by a high placed lawyer who has since been identified.

A Note on Skorzeny, who was not one of the Nazi military officers involved in the Valkyrie coup and July 20, 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler. At the time Skorzeny was leading a glider raid on the Italian alps castle where deposed fascist dictator Beneito Musellini was being held prisoner.Skorzeny freed him and delivered him to Hitler in time for lunch the day after the assassination attempt. Skorzeny then participated in the rounding up of others who opposed Hitler for imprisonment and essecution.
