THE KENNEDY ASSASSINATION REMEMBERED
12/14/91 DR. J. COLEMAN
On the eve of the anniversary of the assassination of President John
Fitzgerald Kennedy, it is our duty to ponder on this terrible event which
still stains the national soul of the greatest nation on earth. It is
right and proper that we should think of this monstrous crime as not only
one that affected the Kennedy family, but one that affected, and still
affects the entire nation. The perpetrators of this heinous crime laugh
at our inability to reach the proper conclusion, namely that this hideous
crime was to "put America in its place" and to make us understand that
not even the highest elected official of the land is safe from the
powerful group that dominates our government. It was as if the Kennedy
murder was designed and carried out in such a way that we would one day
understand our President was made an example of, because he actually
believed he was immune from the evil power of the secret upper-level
parallel government. This is probably why there is no national day of
mourning on the anniversary of John Kennedy's death. As long as this
awful murder goes unpunished, its planners and perpetrators gain strength
from our weakness; they know they will never be brought to account. From
their vantage point they can mock us and pour derision and scorn upon not
only the office of the President, but also upon each and every one of us
who cherish the institutions upon which this nation was founded and upon
which it rests. It is as if the rapist returns each year to once again
rape and degrade his victim to show his power over her, secure in the
knowledge that he will never be caught. That is the ongoing trauma of
the Kennedy assassination. Those who have read my monographs on the
Kennedy murder know that it was planned by top British intelligence
groups under the direction of the Tavistock Institute, and that both the
FBI and the CIA were involved. The criminal conspiracy to commit murder
was supervised by Sir William Stephenson, under whose direction Major
Mortimer Louis Bloomfield attended to the day to day details which led to
three of the top marksmen in the U.S. fatally shooting President Kennedy
to death. It will be recalled that Bloomfield, a Canadian citizen, was
in charge of FBI Division Five throughout the Second World War. The
choice of time and place, in broad daylight and in full view of thousands
of shocked and horrified Americans was coldly, and deliberately, designed
to have the maximum impact and thereby convey a warning to others who
might be tempted to continue the important work Kennedy had begun. Our
hidden masters would not allow the U.S. to escape from the toils of the
Federal Reserve Banks, bypassing them and having the Treasury print
interest-free U.S. government money instead of Federal Reserve Notes. It
was a well-kept secret for a short period that President Kennedy had
ordered the Treasury to print $4 billion in U.S. government currency.
Had Kennedy's bold move against those who were telling him to "follow
instructions" succeeded, it would have put the Federal Reserve Banks out
of business and released the people of this nation from a state of
bondage far worse than anything experienced in the history of the world.
The Bank of England and the international bankers could not allow such a
heresy to come to pass. It was as if the "protection" racketeers stepped
in, trashed the store and shot the owner for daring to try and shake the
parasites off his back. The store owner's murder was carried out in the
most degrading and humiliating manner, stripping him of his dignity, even
in death. This is the way the Kennedy murder was carried out, brutally,
without mercy and in the most undignified way, not only to mutilate the
dead President, but to leave us in no doubt that we are helpless and
unable to do anything about such cruel, humiliating and degrading
treatment. It is like a man, condemned to death, first being taken to a
public place, stripped of his clothes, severely whipped and then forced
to kneel on the ground and shot in the back of the neck. This is what
Felix Dzerzinksi sometimes did to his victims, forcing family members to
look on and ensure that death was preceded by the utmost degradation.
Until the stain of the Kennedy murder is washed clean, until the
perpetrators of this mercilessly brutal killing are brought to justice,
the conspirators will continue to nationally humiliate the people and
institutions of the United States. I hope that we all clearly understand
this. The lesson was indeed well understood and taken to heart by every
President who succeeded Kennedy. There has not been any President since
Kennedy willing to take up where he left off. The work begun by Kennedy
to get rid of the Federal Reserve Banks died with him as did the threat
he posed to the controllers of America. It is doubtful that there will be
another serious threat to the Bank of England and the international
banks, or at least, it is unlikely to come from a single individual, no
matter how powerful he may be. Having established the framework and one
of the motives for the Kennedy assassination, let us examine what
powerful forces were behind the actual assassins who fired the shots that
rang out in Dealey Plaza that fateful November day, shots which echoed
around the world. Central to the commission of the crime was the
Tavistock Institute, British intelligence in the person of Sir William
Stephenson, Major Louis Mortimer Bloomfield, the FBI, the CIA and the
Secret Service. The cover-up was conducted by the government intelligence
agencies and the Warren Commission. British intelligence played a key
role in the actual planning of the crime which was directed from the
Tryall Compound in Jamaica, home of Sir William Stephenson, in
conjunction with various agencies already mentioned. Mexico was involved
on the periphery because of the alleged visit to the Cuban embassy in
Mexico City by an Oswald double, and the fact that the riflemen were
trained at Carl Mcintyre's farm in Pueblo, plus Hunt's two-month stay in
the country. That the FBI knew in advance of the plot to murder
President Kennedy emerges from an investigation done by James Hepburn, a
very knowledgeable writer. Here is what Hepburn said about FBI
involvement: "In 30 years on the job, J. Edgar Hoover had developed an
intelligence system which nothing--no racket, and certainly no
conspiracy--can escape. Through its extensive network of informers, the
FBI knows everything worth knowing that goes on in the United States even
in areas that lie outside of its legal jurisdiction. The Dallas
conspiracy was born and took root in places where the FBI was well
represented...By mid-October, Hoover had been informed of the existence
of a plot and was familiar with many of the details...The week before the
President's departure for Texas, Hoover knew exactly what was going
on..." Oswald was associated with New Orleans from his boyhood days.
The FBI and/or the CIA recruited him to infiltrate on behalf of the U.S.
government the anti-Castro movement led by Carlos Bringuier. Bringuier
ran the Cuban-exile training camps which the government wanted closed
down after the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Bringuier did not accept Oswald,
telling a close colleague in the leadership, "This guy Oswald is a plant;
I do not trust him." Having been rebuffed by genuine anti-Castro forces,
Oswald set up his own pro-Castro organisation, "Fairplay For Cuba
Committee". Some of the flyers Oswald handed out on New Orleans street
corners were stamped with the address of Guy Bannister on Camp Street.
Bannister was formerly in charge of the FBI's Chicago office. When
Carlos Bringuier accosted Oswald handing out pro-Castro flyers, there was
a violent scene. Oswald got arrested. His request to see the FBI was
granted, after which he was released in minutes. What should make us all
curious is why, soon after his release, Oswald was interviewed on
television as "representing the Fair Play for Cuba Committee" when, in
fact, Oswald was the SOLE member? We know that it is near impossible for
unknowns to get television coverage of this kind. Dallas Police Chief
Jesse Curry made a statement after the murder of Kennedy that his
department had acted in strict accordance with Secret Service
instructions. What was strange, he found, was that his department was
never contacted by the FBI nor did the FBI tell him that Oswald was in
Dallas. In short, what Curry knew about Oswald was minimal, nothing of
significance having been passed on to the Dallas Police Department by the
FBI. It also appears--although not conclusive--that the FBI wanted the
CIA to take responsibility for the crime. This came out in a memo
written by agent De Loach to Hoover's assistant and long-time homosexual
companion, Clyde Tolson, the gist of which was that "President Johnson
felt the CIA had something to do with this plot." The use of the word
"plot" did not seem to unduly alarm Hoover. When the Cubans who were
genuinely against Castro went to the FBI to tell of Oswald's penetration
attempts, they were ordered to "shut up". One of the Cubans was
subsequently killed, and another was deported. This information came
from Mrs. Luce, the owner of LIFE magazine who had financed a boat used
in an attack on Cuba. Immediately after the assassination had taken
place, the FBI stated that Oswald was the lone killer. This sudden rush
to pin the blame on Oswald appears to have been propped up by Bill
Moyers, who wrote to Attorney General Katzenbach on November 25th,
1963--a mere few days after the Kennedy murder--what in retrospect can
only be described as a very curious letter: "It is important that all of
the facts surrounding President Kennedy's assassination be made public in
a way which will satisfy people in the United States and abroad that all
the facts have been told and that a statement to this effect be made
now. (1) The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin, that
he did not have confederates who are still at large and that the evidence
was such that he would have been convicted at trial. (2) Speculations
about Oswald's motivations ought to be cut off, and we should have some
basis for rebutting the thought that it was a Communist conspiracy (as
the Iron Curtain press is saying) and also as the right wing is saying to
blame it on them... (3) The matter has been thus far handled without
dignity or conviction. Facts have been mixed with rumor and
speculation. We can scarcely let the world see us totally in the image
of the Dallas Police Department when our President is murdered. I think
this objective may be satisfied by making a complete and thorough FBI
report on Oswald and the assassination. This may run into the difficulty
of pointing to inconsistencies between this report and statements made by
the Dallas police officials. But the reputation of the Bureau is such
that it may do the whole job." On December 2nd, 1980, newspapers
reportedly quoting the FBI said, "Experts did not scientifically prove
that a gunshot was fired by a second gunman from the Grassy Knoll area of
Dealey Plaza during the assassination of President Kennedy." What was
being discussed was the sound of shots on the Dallas police Dictabelt
recording which the FBI rejected outright as having come from Dealey
Plaza. The FBI also stated there was no proof that the sounds on the
Dictabelt were gunshots. The sounds, said the FBI, could have been
electrical impulses produced internally by the Dallas Police Department
radio system, but they did admit that they had no intention of conducting
a study that would be necessary to confirm their conclusion. Was the FBI
acting out the Moyer's scenario? The FBI did not bother to study the
uniqueness of the echo patterns of the shots which would have placed them
in Dealey Plaza. FBI's Guy Bannister played a key role in the Kennedy
murder through his relationship with Oswald. This was clearly brought out
by former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, the man who came
closest to cracking the Kennedy case at least up to the level of the
actual perpetrators of the crime, but who was smeared and threatened
before he could bring his evidence to court. It was Garrison who
revealed the connection between Guy Bannister, the Office of Naval
Intelligence (ONI), the CIA and the Cabell family of Dallas. General
Cabell was fired by Kennedy for sabotaging the Bay of Pigs operation.
His relatives were prominent lawmen in Dallas with excellent connections
with the CIA and the FBI. Bannister was closely associated with top
Howard Hughes executive Robert Maheu, a CIA operative who was deeply
involved in the Watergating of Richard Nixon and the CIA-Mob plot to
murder Castro. Maheu knew Rosselli and Jimmy Hoffa very well. He
contacted them whenever the CIA wanted a dirty job done and didn't want
to use its own people. What was Bannister's role, and was he part of the
conspiracy to LET the assassination of President Kennedy take place?
Bannister was very close with David Ferrie of the CIA. Ferrie was
Oswald's superior in the Civil Air Patrol in New Orleans which Oswald
joined as a teenager. This establishes Oswald's long-time connections
with New Orleans, the FBI and the CIA. Later it was proved that Oswald
had attended the anti-Castro training camps near New Orleans with Ferrie.
New Orleans police officials said they had often seen Ferrie, Oswald and
Bannister together. Apparently Richard Helms told Victor Marchetti that
David Ferrie and Clay Shaw were CIA contract agents. Ferrie hung out at
Guy Bannister's office in company with Oswald--at the address printed on
Oswald's Fair Play for Cuba Committee flyers. Experienced intelligence
agents will have no trouble in recognising at once that Bannister's role
was to run Oswald as an agent provocateur for the CIA or the FBI or
both. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) was most probably in the
business of setting up Oswald as the fall guy-patsy for the murder of
President Kennedy. It was the ONI who sent Oswald to the Soviet Union.
Garrison witness David L. Lewis testified that he saw Oswald, Ferrie and
Bannister together quite often. Jack Martin of the New Orleans Police
Department said he had seen Ferrie and Oswald together and felt they were
involved with each other. There is real evidence developed through
information provided to the House Assassinations Committee that Oswald
acted at all times as an agent for Guy Bannister and David Ferrie whom it
is believed put Oswald up to buying the rifle that was supposedly used to
shoot Kennedy. Senator Richard Russell, an important member of the
Warren Commission expressed strong doubts that Oswald acted alone: "There
were too many things...some of the trips to Mexico City and a number of
discrepancies in the evidence, or as to his means of transportation, the
luggage he had...caused me to doubt that he planned it all by himself."
Kept completely out of the picture was Bowen-Osborne, whose occupation
was world wide travel--as a surveillance tail for the CIA and or the FBI.
Any intelligence agent worth his salt would recognise Bowen-Osborne as an
intelligence operative, especially when it came to how he got the money
to travel so widely. CIA involvement in the Kennedy assassination plot
appears fairly credible, especially when we consider that CIA director
Richard Helms went to extraordinary lengths to smash the Garrison probe
because Clay Shaw and David Ferrie were CIA agents, and Garrison was
getting uncomfortably close to uncovering this fact. Helms was very
worried about Garrison cracking the case and exposing CIA involvement.
It is interesting, too, that Helms was the CIA's liaison with the Warren
Commission and a close friend of Howard Hunt, probably the one CIA agent
most heavily involved in the Kennedy assassination. "The CIA will have
to be dealt with," Kennedy said after the Bay of Pigs fiasco was clearly
seen as a CIA spoiler operation. Someone in the U.S. or British
government did not want Castro toppled. Kennedy knew who it was who told
the CIA to wreck the invasion. The task of botching the Bay of Pigs
invasion was given to the CIA and it did its job well. One of those
responsible was Allen Dulles, whom history will show was totally beholden
to the British. The other was Deputy Director General of the CIA, General
Charles Cabell, who was also fired. Both men had cause to hate Kennedy.
After the Cuban missile crisis and Kennedy had promised Khrushchev that
no more attacks on Cuba would occur, the CIA, in deliberate and arrogant
defiance of the President, set up training camps all over Louisiana,
which were later broken up by police and the FBI after Kennedy found out
what was going on. Dulles, as an agent for the British oligarchy, was
particularly incensed. He believed that his "British connection" placed
him above the President. His British controllers were also greatly
incensed over upstart Kennedy bucking their orders. Clearly, Kennedy had
to be dealt with. Such was the disdain of our controllers that they
reinstated Dulles by naming him to the Warren Commission--the final act
of indignity toward the slain President. Trained observers were quick to
identify Oswald as an intelligence agent playing a double role. No one
in the intelligence agencies had any doubt that Oswald was one of their
own. Members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Activities
were of the same opinion but did not publicly say so, except for Senator
Lowell Weicker who served on the committee for eighteen months and
declared Oswald to be a CIA operative. Eisenhower assigned many
operations to his Vice President. One of these was the group known as
Special Group 54-12. This group was established to coordinate activities
by Military Intelligence and the CIA. In the group was Alexander Haig,
who was later leap-frogged from Colonel to four-star general because of
his activities inside Special Group 54-12. Nixon left Bay of Pigs and the
plots against the life of Castro planning to Haig. Haig rewarded Nixon by
informing on him to The Washington Post. Haig was in fact "Deep Throat".
Other members of Group 54-12 were the mysterious E. Howard Hunt and Frank
Sturgis--one of the Watergate burglars. Hunt had been involved in scores
of assassination plots for the CIA. Of some significance is the fact that
Hunt spent August and September of 1963 in Mexico City. It is not known
whether he ever went near the murder squad in training at Carl McIntyre's
mission station in Pueblo. Also worthy of note is that one of the three
"Oswald's" visited Hunt in Mexico City during September 1963. That the
CIA had become a law unto itself was confirmed by Senator George
Smathers. One of the Senator's secretaries was Mary Jo Kopechne who later
died at Chappaquidack. There was a great deal more to Miss Kopechne than
has ever been told. Her roommate, Carol Tyler, was killed in a strange
and as yet unexplained plane accident over the sea near the coast of
Maryland. After Watergate, a fearful Nixon kept his head down. He had
seen what had happened to Murray Chotiner, who knew more about CIA
assassinations than most. Finally, refreshed, rested and ready to do
battle, Nixon looked for spiritual uplift at La Costa, the home built by
the Mafia for Earl Warren. At the first meeting with Nixon were four
Teamster bosses, including Frank Fitzsimmons. More significantly, also
present was Jim Braden, the man who was arrested in the Dal-Tex building
minutes after the death of President Kennedy. Braden's real name is
Eugene Hale Brading, a contract agent for the CIA. Brading registered at
the Cabana Motel in Dallas and, on the night before the assassination was
visited by Jack Ruby, another CIA contract agent. The connection with
the FBI comes via the fact that Brading had an office in New Orleans in
1963, to be precise--number 1701 in the Pere Marquette Building.
Interestingly enough, David Ferrie, controller of Oswald since his
teenage membership of the Civil Air Patrol, was working a few doors away
on the same floor in an office registered to Mafia boss Carlos Marcello.
Of great concern, or it ought to be, is that Brading's photographs and
file are missing from the Warren Commission archives. Another CIA
operative, George Guadet, also went to Mexico City while Hunt and
"Oswald" were there (September 17th, 1963). It seems this was another
notch-up in the plot to make Oswald the "patsy", because there is little
doubt that the real Lee Harvey Oswald was not in Mexico City on that
day. Had the real Oswald gone to the Cuban Embassy there, he was far too
circumspect to have made the disturbance which the other "Oswald"
created--seemingly to ensure that everybody at the embassy would remember
the visit. There is a great deal more to tell about CIA involvement in
the Kennedy murder, but for now I will have to leave it at that. What
role did the Secret Service play in this disgraceful affair? There are
many conflicting reports, but the OFFICIAL report clears the Secret
Service of any complicity in the Kennedy murder. Privately, intelligence
agencies around the world have other thoughts. One of the most suspect
incidents is why a middle-aged man, Bill Greer, was chosen to drive the
Kennedy limousine? Was it so that his incredible actions could later be
ascribed to "slow reflexes"? The Zapruder film, spliced, cut, censored
and all-but destroyed, still shows that, for almost 10.5 seconds, the
Secret Service agents assigned to the Kennedy limousine did absolutely
nothing. Trained to act in an instant if there is gunfire, they stood
around as if waiting for something else to happen after the first shot
was heard, the one that wounded Kennedy in the throat. Did they fall on
the President and Mrs. Kennedy as they had been trained to do? They did
not. The stills show these men standing on the running boards of the
car, as if nothing was going on at a time when the same stills show that
Kennedy had already been hit. Even more inexcusable, the Secret Service
driver, after crawling along at 20 miles and hour, brought the limousine
to an almost complete stop after the first shot rang out, when the Secret
Service training manual says that in such circumstances the driver must
accelerate as fast as he can. Clint Hilt, the Secret Service agent who
did react, took almost 12 seconds to run toward the Kennedy limousine.
He was never asked to explain his slow start. In less than twelve hours
after the murder, Secret Service Chief James Rowley knew beyond a shadow
of a doubt that three marksmen had gunned Kennedy to death, yet this was
not in the Warren Commission Report. Fletcher Prouty, a tough colonel
who made a career out of exposing what he called "the Secret Team", said
that in his opinion the President was stripped of his security with
deliberate intent and that, moreover, the "Secret Team" knew that they
had nothing to fear from the Secret Service or any other government
agency. Kennedy had been deliberately left open and vulnerable.
Therefore, Prouty concludes, the Secret Service LET THE ASSASSINATION
HAPPEN. Who was Oswald? Almost every Hollywood movie, every television
documentary, paints Oswald as a man of low intelligence, a loner,
slightly unbalanced, who hated Kennedy. There is absolutely no evidence
that Lee Harvey Oswald was any of these things; in fact, there is
compelling evidence that he was a highly intelligent intelligence agent
who was deliberately set up to take the blame for the Kennedy
assassination. Oswald was specially selected to take a course in the
Russian language by the U.S. Military. Russian isn't exactly an easy
language to learn. Yet Oswald easily passed the Armed Forces Practical
Russian Test 21, United States Army Examination. In short, the government
taught Lee Harvey Oswald to speak Russian. Only Jim Garrison derided the
Warren Commission's "He must have learned Russian on his bunk at night."
Oswald allegedly defected to the USSR. He was allegedly discharged from
the U.S. Marines. Yet in 1963 he applied for a U.S. passport and received
it WITHIN 24 HOURS, QUITE A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT. Another noteworthy
achievement was getting a job with Jagger, Stover and Childs, a high
security firm doing secret work for the government. Furthermore, the
Gonzalez House Committee found that a substantial number of key Oswald
records were missing from military files. Hardly was he out of the
military when Oswald was on his way to London. This was September 21st,
1959. The day after his arrival in London, Oswald flew to Helsinki in a
military plane. There are just too many unexplained things to believe
that Oswald was some ignoramus who decided that he could single-handedly
shoot the President. His entire military experience proves that Oswald
was a highly trained intelligence agent and the types of duties he was
assigned in the military bears that out. Some of the questions that may
never be answered are as follows: How did Oswald get a good paying job in
Russia without the slightest difficulty, and how was a foreigner allowed
to marry the daughter of a colonel in the KGB? Why were the three or
four rifles found in the school book depository never produced? Why was
the photograph of the alleged rifle that killed Kennedy taken from such a
long distance away as to make the rifle unidentifiable? Why has it never
been admitted that there is no proof that Oswald ever owned the alleged
murder weapon, let alone fired it? Why was it not brought out by the
Warren Commission that the Manlicher 6.5mm rifle--allegedly the murder
weapon--had NEVER been fired before it was test-fired by expert marksmen
in the course of trying to find out whether three shots could have been
fired within the time frame that Kennedy was shot? Why was all the
strong evidence showing that Oswald worked for the government from very
early on either lost or suppressed? Apart from the four shells in the
Manlicher, no box of shells was ever found in ANY of Oswald's
possessions. A man intending to shoot the President would not have gone
to the vantage point with only four shells in the rifle. How did the
Dallas police know to begin searching for Oswald only hours after
Kennedy's murder? Were they tipped off by Army Intelligence? Everything
points in this direction. Why did Army Intelligence FALSELY accuse
Oswald of being a Cuban defector on November 22, 1963? Why did the Army
DESTROY most of its files on Oswald? Was he being set up to take the
blame for the murder of the President? Why was the Dallas police chief
called away to answer the phone at the precise moment that Ruby was
walking up to Oswald. (HE was actually on the phone when Ruby killed
Oswald.) Why was FAKED identity planted on Oswald, which was discovered
after his death in the basement of the Dallas police station? Why were a
series of FORGED photographs of Oswald holding the Manlicher rifle
distributed in advance of the Kennedy murder and who was responsible for
this? (The man holding the rifle is NOT Oswald. That has been clearly
determined.) Why were the mysterious carillon bells heard on the
Dictabelt tape of the Dallas police at the time of the Kennedy
assassination never investigated? Why was this vital piece of evidence
that proves the noises on the tape were SHOTS FIRED IN DEALEY PLAZA
absolutely ignored by the FBI? It was later proved that the carillon
bells were heard seven seconds before the last shot. The FBI said there
were no carillon bells in the area, but private investigators discovered
that the bell chimes came from a bank and that they could be heard far
and wide. Because the bank was twelve blocks from Dealey Plaza, the FBI
ignored it. Why did President Johnson have private reservations about
Oswald? He expressed these in the following manner: "He (Oswald) was
quite a mysterious fellow and he did have a connection that bore
examination, and the extent of the influence of those connections on
him. I think history will deal with more than we're able to now." Who
ordered Kennedy's body abducted and taken to Bethesda Naval Hospital in
Maryland? Who ordered the EXTENSIVE surgery that completely altered
wounds to the head and neck clearly observed at Parkland Hospital in
Dallas to make them fit the "lone gunman" theory? Who ordered X-rays of
Kennedy's head cropped so as to disguise the original wounds? Why did
Miss Oliver, an employee of Ruby's Colony Club, film the Kennedy
motorcade? Miss Oliver later testified that she saw Ferrie so often at
Ruby's club that she thought he was one of the managers. She also said
that Ruby knew Oswald quite well. What role did FBI informant "number
88" (inside the KKK and National States Rights) play in the Kennedy
assassination? There are several such informers still in the right wing,
at least one of them in Louisiana, who poses as militantly anti-Jewish.
There are literally HUNDREDS of unanswered questions about Oswald and the
murder of John F. Kennedy. Until this nation comes to grips with the
problem of being ruled by a secret upper-level parallel government and
demands answers, we can never call ourselves a free and sovereign
people.
