JOHN NEWMAN - October
26, 2017 – The Same Old Canard.
“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.”
“They say: ‘What? You don’t think Castro was involved?’
As if we are the lunatics.”
“LBJ’s steamrolling of Chief Just Warren to force
him to head the commission and rubber stamp the Oswald-did-it-alone FBI
cover-up was done at the ‘Top Secret’ level to prevent a world-wide nuclear
holocaust and the deaths of 40 million Americans. Decades ago, we were able to
listen to the tape recording of LBJ boasting to Senator Russell about how he
pulled it off, and watch Warren on Washington Public TV (WETA) confirm the
story.”
THE COVERT CRACK IN THE DEALEY PLAZA OPRATION - The Black Prop Op that Failed –
Exposing JFK’s Killers
Black Propaganda Operations at Dealey Plaza
Even at this late date we still may not be able to
say with certainty who killed President Kennedy, but it can be demonstrated how
he was killed.
It can still be determined if the assassination of
JFK was the work of a deranged lone nut, as the official record contends, or
was a very sophisticated covert intelligence operation that utilized black
propaganda and disinformation, framed a patsy and permitted those responsible
for the crime to get away with murder, as such covert operations are designed
to do.
Since all of the evidence that implicates Lee Harvey
Oswald as the accused assassin is questionable and would have never been
admitted into a court of law, and he was murdered while in police custody, a strong
case can be made that he was framed as a patsy, as he himself claimed.
Even if Oswald was the lone sniper who killed the
president, wounded governor John Connally, and killed Dallas policeman as an
assassin and spree killer, his criminal personality profile fits the Covert
Operational Personality (COP) that indicates his motive was political and not
psychological, that he was operating as part of a covert intelligence network
on a standard need-to-know basis and was a pawn in a much bigger game. A game
that utilized psychological operations.
If what happened at Dealey Plaza is viewed, as Bill
Simpich suggests, not as the spontaneous work of a lone nut, but as well
planned and successfully executed covert intelligence operation, it all begins
to make sense and comes into a clear and understandable focus. The murder
of the president was not the result of a plot so much as it was a plan – a very
detailed and executed plan that was prepared in advance by perpetrators within
the government itself and continues today to shield those responsible. As an
intelligence “operation” it was a “Coup d’etat” that is still in effect and
continues to shield those responsible, even though most of them are dead.
It is not the perpetrators who are now being
shielded by the government today, but the MO – the Modus Operandi that they
utilized that is being kept secret, because it is the way they continue to
manipulate events today.
While the Dealey Plaza operation was successful in
killing the president and shielding those responsible from justice, it failed
to sell its cover story – that Fidel Castro was behind the operational
conspiracy, a failure that led the FBI, the Warren Commission and other
branches of government to adopt, as Peter Dale Scott classifies it as the
“Phase Two” lone-nut scenario as a plausible alternative to the truth.
Professors Peter Dale Scott and John Newman and
attorney Dan Hardway have all recently 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.
Because that part of the operational plan – the
original cover story failed, it provides a window into the intelligence
network responsible for the assassination because those involved in promoting
the black propaganda disinformation campaign that Castro was behind the Dealey
Plaza operation were certainly close to those who actually carried out the
operation.
This is a subject that others have also written
about – Mathew Smith wrote a book “The
Second Plot” dedicated to the subject, but I will limit the discussion
at first to only to what Scott, Newman and Hardway have had to say on the
subject, and how it gives new leads and direction to future inquires.
As we have learned from the study of planets, it is
often not as you see them, but more as you see their reflections as viewed as
blinking eclipses that tell you they are there, just as we can see the reality
of what happened at Dealey Plaza as a reflection in Alices’s “Looking Glass”
and what happens when you descend into the rabbit’s hole of intentionally
deceptive covert intelligence operations, especially those that are successful.
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 murders, while the
second concerns the cover-up and thwarting of justice. The second conspiracy
continues today, so it should concern us all.
The evidence in both cases is 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
utilized 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
attempts, but fails to blame the Dealey Plaza operation on Fidel Castro of
Cuba.
Because this aspect of the assassination of President failed, it
provides a window of opportunity for those who recognize it, to see into the
operation, and narrow the suspects to those actually responsible.
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 case, and 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 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
According to Ladislas Farago “Black Propaganda is a fundamental intelligence
operation…because it never identifies its real source and pretends to originate
within or close to the enemy.”
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 spys 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 deep 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.”
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.”
As 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.
PETER DALE SCOTT – The Deeper Truth Still Not Revealed
Peter Dale Scott in Deep Politics 3 [excerpted in the CAPA Newsletter
Vol. 1 #1] writes about what he calls the “Managed Oswald Stories.”
“In the days after the murders in Dallas,” Scott writes, “ 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
Hold and Company, 2013), 496-98 etc.].”
“David Phillips is the one man who seems to cover
all aspects of the CIA - Oswald operation and cover-up in 1963. David Phillips
even had one friend, Gordon McLendon, in common with Jack Ruby. McLendon, a
sometimes intelligence officer and Dallas owner of radio stations, had known
Phillips since both men were in their teens. (The two men would in the 1970s
join in forming the Association of Former Intelligence Officers.). McLendon was
close to two other wealthy men in Dallas who have attracted the attention of
JFK researchers, Clint Murchison and Bedford Wynne. What is not yet known is
why McLendon, whom Ruby described as one of his six closest friends, embarked on
a trip to Mexico after the assassination.”
As Peter Dale Scott says: "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."
The “Phase One” cover story – that Oswald was part
of a conspiracy involving Fidel Castro, was an integral part of the Dealey
Plaza Operation, a deception to protect those actually responsible.
But as it was put into place – with David Atlee
Phillip’s media asset Joseph Goulden egging on Assistant Dallas District
Attorney William Alexander to charge Oswald with “furthering a communist
conspiracy,” LBJ himself pulled the plug from this one. From his VP office in
the Executive Office Building (EOB), LBJ called the Texas State Attorney
General and Dallas DA Henry Wade and ordered them not to charge Oswald with conspiracy,
or it could lead to World War III – the same reason he gave Earl Warren to
serve on the cover-up Commission. From that time on, what was planned as an
obvious conspiracy – with more than one gunman in a “military style ambush”
instigated by Castro became the “Phase Two” cover-story of Oswald as a
deranged, lone gunman.
For more on the details of the conversion from “Phase
One” to the adoption of the “Phase Two” cover story see “The Tipping Point.”

“Those of us who genuinely wish to see overt, rational forces prevail in the
world must reject a superficial and spurious defense of our institutions. The
ideal embraced by our society, that it be based on truth and openness, is not a
cynical cliché, but a real condition for our institutional health. The pursuit
of leads hinted at in this essay may seem frustratingly difficult, esoteric,
and above all slow. But to abandon this pursuit is to break faith with the American
dream of enlightenment itself.”
"To abandon this pursuit is to break faith with the
American dream of enlightenment itself."
JOHN
NEWMAN – Where Angels Tread Lightly
John Newman in Where Angels Tread Lightly [Excerpted in the CAPA Newsletter
Vol. 1 #1] writes, “In this investigation…we are attempting to look inside a
very dark box. The people involved in the design of the plot, even if they were
only a few, were very sophisticated in propaganda and deception operations.”
Newman continues: “In his book, The Craft of Intelligence [Allen W.
Dulles, Craft of Intelligence: America’s Legendary Spy Master on the
Fundamentals of Intelligence Gathering for a Free World (Guilford,
Connecticut: The Lyons Press, 2006), p. 147.], former Director of Central
Intelligence Allen Dulles wrote about the ‘collateral effect’ of a successful
deception operation. Dulles often used the term ‘black operation,’ which is
similar to the term used in this volume, ‘dark operation.’”
“Dulles explained the ‘collateral effect’ this way: once a single piece’ of the
enemy’s deception has succeeded in its purpose, then almost anything that
happens can be taken as one of his tricks. The point that Dulles was driving at
was this: ‘Often the very fear of deception has blinded an opponent to the real
value of the information which accidents or intelligence operations have placed
in his hands.’ …It is worthwhile pondering how Dulles’ point might apply to the
Kennedy assassination. As stated in the Introduction to this work, in this case
a very significant “single piece” of deception succeeded in its purpose….”
“The plot to assassinate President Kennedy was designed to deceive both people
in the government and the public at large. A convincing trail of evidence was
established to make it appear that the Kennedy brothers’ plan to overthrow
Castro had been turned around and used against them by Fidel himself, resulting
in the assassination of President Kennedy. “
Newman writes: “We should heed Dulles’ advice and not fear that almost
everything’ is a successful deception operation. We should, as Dulles advises
us, realize that accidents in intelligence operations happen. Such accidents
have occurred in this case too. They have placed important clues into our
hands.”
“There is an unstated corollary principal in the
game of deception that Allen Dulles was kind enough to give us. Once a ‘single
piece’ of a black operation has been compromised, the entire fabric of that
operation can potentially unravel.”
As John Newman recently mentioned on Facebook, with accompanying
photos: “March, 1975, Northeast Thailand, on the west side of the Mekong River.
I worked at a secret spy base where, among other missions, we were tracking the
movements of Viet Cong sapper units in our area. As a collateral duty, I was
the grenadier in the lead squad to attack and attempt to neutralize any Viet
Cong penetration of our base perimeter fence. Second photo, 1989; My boss, NSA
Director General Odom pinning my U.S. Army Legion of Merit award.”
As it turns out, Thomas Powers, as he relates in his
book “Intelligence Wars” (New York Review Book, 2004), met and interviewed General William Odom at a party
for CIA covert case officer Haviland
Smith. As the former Army Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) and
director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Powers wondered how Odom – a top
echelon brass, knew Smith – the epitome of an operational case officer in the
field.
Odom, who at one time was John Newman’s boss, told
Powers that, “When I was ACSI I talked to Haviland about Army clan….It’s the
endless problem – should the Army be trying to run agents at all?”
Well, since the CIA is prohibited by its charter
from operating within the continental USA, it is the Army Intelligence and Army
Reserve and National Guard who are called into action during major civil
disturbances and natural disasters. It was ASCI and US Army Intelligence units
who were at the civil rights riots, the assassination of MLK and anti-Vietnam
war demonstrations of the 60s, as well as in Dallas at the time of the
assassination.
“Should the Army be trying to run agents at all?”
Odom asked Smith, before, “I ask him what makes a good case officer?”
To that, Haviland said, “Did you see that movie with
Robert Redford and Paul Newman – the Sting?
That’s it – the con!”
Which certifies the fact that Haviland Smith also took
Paul Linebarger’s course in psychological warfare and covert operations, and read
David Maurer’s book “The Big Con,”
the book that was the basis for the movie “The Sting,” that Linebarger had his
students read.
And now it is John Newman who has taken the lead in
pointing out the black propaganda operation to blame the Dealey Plaza Operation
on Castro, as it continues today.
DAN HARDWAY
At a conference presentation Dan Hardway said:
"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, former
HSCA investigator Dan 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 clearly 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.”
THE PARTIAL HSCA MEMO
Dan Hardway’s heavily redacted and partially missing
Memo of the August 24, 1978 Interview with David Atlee Phillips reads in part:
Phillips, page 18.
“Mr. Phillips said that he did not participate, nor
was he aware of, in any campaign after the assassination to spread
misinformation about the death of Kennedy. He could not explain why the
misinformation that came from the Cuban groups and individuals that tended to
point to Castro involvement were predominately from assets that he had handled
personally as opposed to ones that had been ran out of the Miami station. He
said that he agreed that it was strange that the one piece of evidence that
tended to show at least DGI foreknowledge was not pursued by his shop while
disinformation from his former assets occupied the attentions of investigators
in that area. Mr. Phillips stated that he did not know of any hard evidence
that existed in 1963 that pointed to Castro’s involvement.”
“When asked about his relationship with Julio Lobo,
he became a bit upset and said he thought he had covered that adequately in his
deposition. He says as far as he can recall he met Lobo only one time, perhaps
it was even in Madrid and not Havana, he doesn’t recall, and he had no
substantial dealings with him.”
“He wanted to know if Veciana’s story about Bishop
is still being considered and if any decision about his being Bishop had be(en)
conclusively arrived at. He said he doesn’t like living under the fear and
tension of possibly being called before the television cameras and having
Veciana suddenly stand up and point a finger at him and say that he is Bishop
and that he saw him with Oswald.”
“Phillips was told by the interviewers that they had
no authority to discuss anything of substance about our investigation to him.
He asked that the interviewers seek permission to let him know what was going
on. He was told that his request would be brought to high-level attention but
that a response of any kind at all could not be assured.”
“Phillips stated that he did not know Paul Bethel
very well, but it was not Bethel who introduced him to Lopez-Fresuet.”
Phillips, page 21
“Mr. Phillips said that he had met McClendon
(Gordon) once when they were in college. He said that he had not seen him again
until September of 1976 when he attended a Retired Intelligence Officers
meeting. Later McClendon had called him and reminded him of an incident
mentioned in Nightwatch involving a school day’s episode and McClendon told him
that he was the man who picked him up in his car. As far as Phillips can recall
he never had any contact with McClendon during the intervening years. He never
met McClendon at any time during 1963 in Dallas.”
“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 from xxx, they were actually run by another
agency. He said that it many have been ran by military intelligence.”
That single piece of the black propaganda at Dealey
Plaza that failed and compromises the whole operation is the disinformation
campaign to blame the assassination on Fidel Castro gives us an open window and a crack in the
door into the intelligence network responsible for the otherwise successful
Dealey Plaza operation.
List of Psychwar Black Prop Ops
The Twist Party - just one of dozens of similar Psychwar Black Ops
The Twist Party story, as related by Shenon, Russo and others, is just one of
dozens of similar type stories floated like a balloon to see if they would fly,
and none of them did, as every single one has been shown and proven false, and
its real origin can be actually determined, and most of them trace back to the
CIA or some US intelligence source.
LIST OF PSYCHWAR BLACK PROPAGANDA STORIES AFFILIATED
WITH JFK ASSASSINATION
This is not a complete list – merely the top 25 incidents that are capable of
being studied closer -
1) Photographs of Oswald with rifle and pistol and communist
magazines that contained articles on anti-Castro Cuban terrorist raids.
2) Oswald's activities with DRE Cubans in New Orleans in the
summer of 1963.
3) Oswald's visit to Sylvia Odio.
4) Oswald's visit to the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico
City.
5) Oswald's alleged attendance at a Twist Party in Mexico
City.
6) A pamphlet distributed in the Florida Cuban community in
early November 1963 that predicted that “An Act of God” would put a
“Texan in the White House.”
8) Two of the last issues President Kennedy delt with before
leaving for Texas were the backchannel UN negotiations with Fidel Castro and
the discovery of a weapons cache on a Venezuelan beach that appeared to be
Cuban support for terrorists in South America.
9) Seth Kantor, a Scripps-Howard News Service (SHNS) reporter
in Dallas during the assassination couldn't understand why his telephone calls
from Parkland hospital were being ssealed by the government because “disclosure
would reveal confidential source of information.” The source, it turned out,
was Hal Hendrix, aka “the Spook,” who fed information on the alleged assassin from
Miami.
10) Joe Goulden egged Dallas Assistent DA Bill Alexander to
say that he was going to charge Oswsald with murder “in furtherance of a
Communist Conspiracy.”
11) Dallas PD Special Services Bureau officer
Stringfellow sent repot to USAF Strike Command that Cuba may be behind the
assassination and “Mary's Box” disappears from DPD.
12) On the night of the assassination Clare Booth Luce
received a telephone call from Julio Fernandez, one of the anti-Castro Cuban
commandos she financially supported, who reported to her of Oswald's contacts
with the DRE in New Orleans.
13) In Miami, Dr. Jose Ignorzio, the chief of clinical
psychology for the Catholic Welfare Service, contacted the White House to
inform the new administration that Oswald had met directlly with Cuban
ambassador Armas in Mexico.
14) In Florida Frank Sturgis is interviewed for the
Pamparo Beach Sun Sentinel saying that Oswald had talked with Cuban G2 agents
and had been with Cubans in Miami. Donald Freed and Jeff Cohen (in Liberation

was cranking out stories that Oswald was a Cuban agent.”
15) Over the years Sturgis would revise this story to include

In 1976 Gaeton Fonzi interviewed Sturgis who then said he was reminded of a
meeting in Havana two months before the assassination that included Raul
Castro, Ramiro Valdez, chief of Cuban Intelligence, Che Guevara and his
secretary Tanya, another Cuban officer, an American they called “El Mexicano,”
and oh, yea, Jack Ruby.”

outside the Cuban embassy.

Veciana after the assassination he tried to get Veciana to contact his brother,
a pro-Castro Cuban government official, and try to bribe him into saying that
Oswald was affiliated with the Castro Cubans.

“Brothers in Arms” trying to blame the assassination on Castro and contributed
to the documentary film by German producer who makes “documentary” that blames
Castro for the assassination.
25) Former CIA officer Brian Lettrel writes a book that
attempts to blame Castro for the assassination based on the reports of a
defector who claimed Castro had him listen for Air Force One radio
transmissions from Texas that day.
The failure of the Covert Cover Story - both Phase One and Phase Two - provide the strands of loose ends that when pulled, make the whole operation come apart.
