07 and SPECTRE at Dealey Plaza
By Bill Kelly
Was JFK killed by one deranged assassin or was he the
victim of a complex conspiracy by his political enemies? That is the question.
Did a super assassin like Double Oh Seven kill JFK or was
a villainous conglomerate like SPECTRE behind a more nefarious plot?
That is the question because JFK was surely killed
either by a lone wolf assassin like 007 or by a diabolical conspiracy
engineered by an international conglomerate like SPECTRE - there’s really only
two ways about it.
The accused but un-convicted Lee Harvey Oswald was
either the world’s greatest assassin - if he did all the things he is accused
of doing, or he was framed as the Patsy as he claimed, which would make it a
conspiracy and cover-up that continues today.
There’s really only two ways about it – Oswald did the
dirty deed alone or it was an elaborate conspiracy.
If Oswald did it alone then it should be in the
national security interests to determine exactly how and why he did it as well
as the motive behind the act.
If Oswald did kill JFK alone then he did it with a
deadly precision and took out a very high priority target.
While most of those who accuse Oswald of being the
lone assassin also portray him as a deranged loser who beat his wife and
couldn’t hold a job, but if he did all of what he is accused of doing then he
did one successful thing in his life – he killed a president, and how he did it
should be a matter of national security and there should be no outstanding
questions as to how or why it was done.
Even if Oswald was a sociopathic killer like Ted Bundy
who got his kicks from killing, it still should be determined exactly how he
did it and what type of psychological paranoid skidzo he was, but so far no one
has done that. If Oswald was just plain crazy then the repercussions are less
serious than if there was a diabolical conspiracy, and if he was crazy t is a
matter for the psychologists to determine what made him do the things he did.
But if he was a COP – covert operational personality
and part of an intelligence operation and network it is a matter of national
security and a counter-intelligence investigation is required, so for our
purposes we will assume the latter, and attempt to determine if it is possible
to positively identify the offending network.
If Oswald was the lone assassin of the President then
he was either a psychologically deranged nut case like Howard Unruh, the Texas
Tower sniper or John Hinkley, all easily diagnosed while Oswald is not.
Or he was a specially trained covert operator like the
Jackal, and you would think that would be an important distinction to
determine, especially for the Secret Service, responsible for protecting the
president and his family.
When the Secret Service began an intense study of
presidential assailants and assassins it broke the individual case studies down
into classified categories, but they neglected to include one of the more
prevalent and most violent profile – one I have dubbed the COP.
Oswald sets the mold for the Covert Operative
Personality profile, one that also includes Frank Sturgis and the Watergate
burglars, Timothy McVeigh one of the Oklahoma bombers, and others with similar
backgrounds who have military training, use aliases, speaks a foreign language,
uses post office boxes, keeps an apartment separate from their family, uses
intelligence crafts and techniques and associates with known intelligence
officers.
Oswald fits all of these characteristics and as former
Senator Schweiker put it, has “the fingerprints of intelligence.”
The Lone Wolf assassin is like Ian Fleming’s fictional
secret agent – Double Oh Seven – James Bond, licensed to kill in the name of
Queen and county, complete with security state approval or like the lone,
careful and precise sniper assassin in the Day of the Jackal, who tried to kill
French President Charles deGaul.
On the other hand, if he was set up as the fall guy in
a more elaborate scheme orchestrated by a covert action team that was part of
an intelligence network, that network had to be on the level of the CIA, KGB,
Cuban G2, ONI or – may I add ACSI – the office of the Assistant Chief of Staff
for Intelligence – U.S. Army Reserves at the Pentagon.
Just as the Jackal and others failed in their real and
conspired attempts to kill deGaul, Ian Fleming’s SPECTRE – Special Executive
for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion is a board of
directors of a criminal conglomerate that is based on the very real Commission
of American mafia crime syndicate of the fifties and sixties.
We can do so by first studying a number of other
similar assassination plots that were definitely conspiracies including 1)
Heinrich – WWII Nazi; 2) the failed Valkyrie plot to kill Hitler; 3) the failed
1962 attack on deGaul by OAS partisans, as well as a number of known CIA plans
to kill Fidel Castro – 1) AMLASH-Rolando Cubella; 2) the Hemingway House
scheme; 3) Pathfinder – DuPont Estate sniper attack.
Heinrich the Nazi officer was killed in an ambush on
his staff car as it slowed down to make a hairpin turn not unlike the situation
at Dealey Plaza.
The failed Valkyrie plot to kill Hitler was the
subject of a CIA study that was to adapt the plan to be used against Castro,
and like Valkyrie included disenchanted Cuban military officers and the psych
war Northwoods style twist to blame the event on communists.
The 1962 “military style ambush” of deGaul’s motorcade
by disenchanted OAS officers who wanted to keep Algeria a French colony, was
thwarted by deGaul’s French Michelin ties.
The CIA’s study of the Valkyrie plot is mentioned in a
report by Col. Higgins on a CIA briefing of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on
September 25, 1963 – when Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Curtis LeMay was
chairing the meeting because Gen. Maxwell Taylor was in Vietnam.
The Valkyrie Plot, as outlined by its chief
perpetuator Von Steufenberg, included two Phases – one phase approved by Hitler
to have the Home National Guard seize all government and communication
buildings as a response to riots or rebellion by the foreign slave laborers,
something that Hitler agreed to.
The second phase of the Valkyrie plan was to kill
Hitler and blame the assassination on the SS, seize all the government buildings
and mass communications – including radio stations so that, in Von
Steufenberg’s words “only the conspiracy speaks.”
The use of a bomb to kill Hitler was opposed by both
Allen Dulles and his agent Hans Bernd Gisiveous, who preferred killing Hitler
with a pistol or sniper rifle, and they were right when the bomb failed to kill
Hitler on July 20, 1944.
If the CIA studied the Valkyrie plot to kill Hitler to
adapt for use against Castro they discarded the bomb aspect of the plan, and
instead preferred a sniper attack as many sniper rifles were imported to Cuba
for such use, and at least two plans developed by the CIA were to use sniper
rifles, one suggested when Castro visited Hemingway’s House or the Pathfinder
plan that was to shoot Castro when he visited the DuPont estate north of
Havana, where he frequently visited driving in an open jeep.
Aspects of the
Valkyrie plan that were adapted to be used against Castro were the recruitment
of disenchanted military officers and a Northwoods psych war twist to blame the
assassination on communists.
Former FBI agent William Turner, an original
investigator has concluded that it was one of the CIA plots to kill Fidel
Castro that was redirected to kill JFK at Dealey Plaza. If that’s so, then the
adapted Valkyrie plan fits the facts much more than the older CIA-Mafia plots
that have garnered the most attention.
Aspects of the Pathfinder plan that were used at
Dealey Plaza include the use of a sniper(s) in a military style ambush and the
psych war twist to blame the attack on Cuban Communists, which if true would
have resulted in a full scale military attack on Cuba, a gambit rejected by LBJ
because it could have resulted in a nuclear war with the USSR.
Just as Von Stuphenberg’s Valkyrie plan was in two
phases, one approved by the victim himself, Professor Peter Dale Scott has
noted that the investigation of the assassination of JFK was divided into two
distinct phases, one in which a conspiracy is acknowledged but one blamed on
Cuban Communists, and a second phase that rejects conspiracy and points to a
deranged lone nut as the sole culprit.
The phase one of this plan was clearly conceived
before November 22, 1963 as a pysch war aspect of the plan to deflect attention
away from the true culprits, just as the Valkyrie plot was to be blamed on the
SS and deflect attention from the military generals behind it.
So if what happened at Dealey Plaza was not the act of
a lone mad man but a well-orchestrated covert intelligence operation, then who
was capable of pulling it off?
Certainly an agency on the level of the CIA, KGB, ONI,
Cuban G2 and the Mafia are the usual suspects, but I’d like to add another
agency – the Pentagon office of Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence
(ACSI) – of the U.S. Army Reserve.
