Institutional and Parapolitical Arrangements

 "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 

"What cost Kennedy his life wasn't his attempt to impose the limits of Camelot Atlanticism on a Frontier-minded defense and security state." - Carl Oglesby 

As we come to the 60th anniversary of the assassination, it is quite clear that Justice will never be served, though we have figured out how it was done and eventually, if the JFK Act of 1992 is fully enforced, learn the identities of those responsible for both the strategic planning and the tactical execution of the President. 

And as PDS has observed years ago, it was not the names of those involved that in the every end, if there ever an end, we were learn that that those actually responsible were protected because it was not carried out by individuals but by the institutional system that functioned as it was designed. 

If President Kennedy was not killed by a deranged lone nut for unknown reasons, but by his enemies in Washington D.C., and in fact the assassination was not only a conspiracy, but a covert intelligence operation and coup d'etat, then our suspects are limited to those covert operators who hated JFK and those with the power to kill him and get away with it. 

LBJ got it right when he recognized that "We were running a damn Murder Incorporated in the Caribbean," but unlike the Church Committee attorney who wrote the book, "Murder, Inc." (2022), the  CIA's attempts to kill Fidel Castro were not retaliation, but the actual mechanism of death set up for Castro was redirected to JFK in Dallas. 

This is not my theory that I came up with, but the conclusion of former FBI agent Bill Turner, and former military investigator Gene Wheaton, and the acknowledgements of some of those anti-Castro Cubans and their CIA trainers who carried out the operation. 

As the still living Warren Commission attorney Sam Stern  told the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), the two things that were kept from them that would have changed their investigation considerably was the FBI's destruction of the Hosty Note and the CIA-Mafia plots to kill Castro. 

So following those two lines of inquiry, the FBI cannot be trusted, and the CIA-Mafia plots are the very key to what occurred at Dealey Plaza. 

In following the history of those plots, we quickly learn that they weren't really plots at all. Not plots like those depicted in the Hollywood movies "Executive Action" and "JFK," where men sit around drinking and smoking and talking about how they could wack Kennedy. 

They made plans - always had a contingency plan for whatever action that could be proposed. There were contingency plans to invade Cuba, contingency plans to kill Castro, and contingency plans for anything the National Security Council, Executive Committee (Augumented) would approve. Plans were submitted to them - the NSC ECA and were either approved or not. 

The ability to kill - assassinate a foreign leader, anyone, was an assignment tasked to a small, very specific group - ZRRIFLE - was one code name for the program set up and run by the CIA's William Harvey. Another program Zeta-Diogines - was a military version with different levels of involvement. Both were operated on a standard covert operational need-to-know basis with those giving the orders - ie approval of plans, being "buffered" from those actually doing the job by the doctrine of "plausible deniability." 

The Bay of Pigs invasion began as a plausibly deniable operation, but was so blatant that JFK had to take full responsibility for it even though he was kept in the dark about key elements and the final aspect of the plan called for direct US military air support, something he refused to do. 

When Senator and President elect Kennedy attended a diner party at the home of his Georgetown neighbor Mrs. Leiter, her friend British writer and news editor Ian Fleming was another diner guest. Mrs. Leiter's millionaire husband had sold the CIA the Langley, Va. land that the CIA's new headquarters was built on. 

Over diner, JFK asked Fleming what Secret Agent 007 James Bond would do about Fidel Castro, and after some brief thought replied, "Ridicule." He would make fun of him. 

When JFK got to the White House one of the first things he did was to ask the CIA to send him over "America's James Bond," who was licensed to kill, and they sent William Harvey, head of the ZRRIFLE assassination squad. Harvey checked his pistols at the door with the Secret Service, and the pear shaped, rotund looking Harvey did not look like the tall, dark and handsome British agent at all. But it's what we had. 

And in the end, it's what I think killed him - the ZRRIFLE squad set up originally to kill Castro, as can and will be convincingly demonstrated.
