Quote of the Day by Texas Eagle

Tomorrow.

Jean Rene Souetre. (aka Mertz, Michel; Roux, Michel). OAS. Mary Ferrell through FOIA suit 1977 obtained CIA document #632-796 dated April 1, 1964. French Intel claimed Souetre was in Ft. Worth a.m. November 22, 1963, Dallas p.m. Picked up by U.S. authorities and expelled from U.S. within 48 hours of assassination. May have been code-named QJ/WIN part of ZR-RIFLE.

Robert Morrow, a contract CIA man, writes in "First Hand Knowledge" (a new book that is a rewrite of his 1976 work, "Betrayal") that he bought three rifles used in the shooting from Sunny's Surplus in Baltimore. David Ferrie planned the assassination and Clay Shaw was involved. Morrow says one team of assassins was led by a French gunman named John Michael Mertz. Gary Shaw says CIA records indicate that French gunman Jean Souetre was in Dallas on Nov. 22, and was expelled from the country the day after. The FBI says that was another Frenchman named Michel Roux. Souetre used "Roux" as an alias, notes Anthony Summers in "Conspiracy," though Roux is also a real person. Souetre said in 1983 that the man in Dallas was Mertz, using Souetre's name.

It seems to me the fact that Kennedy had Diem assassinated, or at least ok'ed, the assassination is on very firm factual grounds.

I know baby boomer Dems all believe that JFK was going to bail on Vietnam, but if anything he was likely to have escalated faster then Johnson did.

I don't really buy any of the conspiracy theories floated...the truth would be too explosive to stay hidden for long...but the idea that the CIA/military did it is just so beyond the pale.

If Oswald didn't kill JFK, you are left with only two possibilies with *any* possible credence - the Cubans or the Mob...

[Elle Bee]

this will not sit well with Arland 'Scottish Law' Specter's Magic Bullet Theory

Kennedy inherited 3 ongoing CIA-military operations from Eisenhower: The Tibetan Army, trained by us and deployed, the Cuban exile army, being trained and prepared for the invasion of Cuba, and South Viet Nam.

Within a few months of taking office Kennedy cut off support to the Tibetans and left them to be annihilated to the last man, he delivered the Cubans into the waiting arms of Castro's army, sidelined Eisenhower's team in Viet Nam (Lansdale et al) that had won a similar war in the Philippines, following that with the assassination of Diem.

The CIA guys who saw their men betrayed and killed and left to rot in dungeons on the orders of this man must have been very bitter. Perhaps dangerously so. What would you do?

[marron]

Robert Kennedy didn't want his brother's death investigated because the investigation might uncover the fact that he, along with the president and the rest of the Kennedy White House, had drawn up operational plans to assassinate Fidel Castro after the Bay of Pigs invasion.

This I don't buy. I have no doubt that RFK knew precisely who killed JFK, and why, so it was important to some that he not reach the presidency.

[InShanghai]

Maybe a good read... I'll have to pick this one up.

[Maria S]

After reading this (and similar hypotheses) about the JFK assassination for the last 35+ years, I can only speculate on what's going to come out 40-50 years from now about the Clintons!! Of course, if history progresses the way they appear to want it to, all info of ANY nature (books, TV, radio, internet) will be carefully monitored...and their biographies will read as though they were saviors of the US.

[veronica]

Oh please. It's just amazing how this lunacy continues.

There were eyewitnesses who looked up at the window in the Texas Book Depository, and saw Oswald shooting at President Kennedy for God's sake.

Co-author O'Leary, involved in politics for more than 25 years, publishes the O'Leary Report, one of the most influential publications in American politics.

Hmmmm. Has anybody actually ever heard of the O'Leary Report?

[patriot_wes]

You mean there's actual honest-to-God corruption in our government.........argh! (hand ringing here) I simply refuse to believe it. Jennings, Blather & Brokaw would have told us for sure.

Other facts uncovered by the book include:

Kennedy's brain - a crucial piece of forensic evidence - was stolen by a U.S. Navy admiral, on Robert Kennedy's orders.

This is not new. I remember going to a lecture (around 1987) at my college by a guy who focused on the medical and autopsy aspects of the JFK assassination. I don't remember much about the talk other than "people" who didn't want the truth to be known altered things and didn't let a full examination of JFK's body take place, and this involved doing something with or to his brain. I don't remember if this guy implicated RFK, though. Maybe that's the new part.

Noting all U.S. deportations were executed by the
Immigration and Naturalization Service, the authors ask:
"Why would an authority of the United States Justice Department
deport a known terrorist?"

The INS was part of the DOJ.

Under it's new incarnation it's known as
the Bureau of Citizenship and immigration Services (BCIS)
and is now part of the new Dept of Homeland Security.

[aristeides]

Day of the Jackal bump. Weren't there reports that the CIA was tied in with the OAS?

[Hildy]

My Father wrote a book with a woman named Marita Lorenz (You can do a google search) who was a spy who contends that she was sent by the CIA during Kennedy's term to kill Castro. Instead, she fell in love with him and had his baby which he had aborted against her will. She also contended that during that time Lee Harvey Oswald was also part of the group and saw him in Cuba. The book was never published due to legal reasons. I believe there was a made for TV movie based on her life or something like that.

Kennedy was killed Nov. 22, 1963, as the result of a massive conspiracy between the CIA-installed government of South Vietnam, the French global heroin syndicate and the New Orleans Mafia.

One of my first jobs as a solo practice attorney involved executing a sale of a vending machine route by the New Orleans mafia to my clients.

Selling cigarette machines is long way from planning and executing an assassination of the President of the United States

[weegee]

How many people have reportedly killed JFK?

The writers of these books make it sound like 200+ people out there shooting, bankrolled by thousands of people. And no one has talked. Until Now...

[RightWhale]

What? How could Oliver Stone miss this?

[tpaine]

Kennedy's brain – a crucial piece of forensic evidence – was stolen by a U.S. Navy admiral, on Robert Kennedy's orders...


Say it isn't true, Admiral..
