Cuba paid Oswald to kill Kennedy, new film says
By Mark Trevelyan Wed Jan 4, 11:12 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - Cuba lay behind the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald and its agents provided the gunman with money and support, an award-winning German director says in a new documentary film. ADVERTISEMENT
Wilfried Huismann spent three years researching "Rendezvous with Death," based on interviews with former Cuban secret agents, U.S. officials and a Russian intelligence source, and on research in Mexican security archives.
The film, shown to journalists in Berlin on Wednesday, says Oswald traveled to Mexico City by bus in September 1963, seven weeks before the Kennedy shooting, and met agents at the Cuban embassy there who paid him $6,500.
Oscar Marino, a former Cuban agent and a key source for the documentary, told Huismann that Oswald himself had volunteered for the assassination mission and Havana had exploited him.
"Oswald was a dissident. He hated his country...Oswald offered to kill Kennedy," Marino said in the film.
"He was so full of hate, he had the idea. We used him...He was a tool."
He said he knew with certainty that the assassination was an operation of the Cuban secret service G-2, but would not say if it was ordered by President Fidel Castro.
O
....if true, it could be a reason to invade and poleax that bearded murderer
A very plausible theory.
This sounds more like a plea for attention. Cuba has been a non-story since Elian was sent back and the WOT began. The only real news from Cuba will come when Castro dies.
KILL CASTRO NOW!
Too bad LBJ wasnt alive to put into prison (or worse), for treason.
The way the story is told here, it sounds like it was Oswald's idea and he only told the Cuban's about it to get some money. If that's true, their involvement isn't very strong. After all, if someone came to us and said, "I'm going to kill Castro, can you give me some financial help", would we say no? Well, I guess we would. Nowadays. Nowadays we'd arrest the person and charge him with a hate crime. But back in the sixties. Before the leftists totally took over our country.
Plea for attention from or for whom???????
this is incredible....How about this:
"......Interviewed for the film, Alexander Haig, then a U.S. military adviser and later secretary of state, quoted Johnson as saying 'we simply must not allow the American people to believe that Fidel Castro could have killed our president And the reason was that there would be a right-wing uprising in America, which would keep the Democratic party out of power for two generations' Haig said."
Back at ya, and Happy New Year.
Some people think that Jimmy Carter was the worst president of modern times. As bad as Carter was, LBJ still gets my vote as the one who did more damage to this country than any other president in my lifetime.
It makes me wonder what the landscape would be like if Kennedy hadn't been killed. Old Joe probably would have a statue in DC by now.
Ironically, there never would have been a Cuban missile crisis if JFK had done the right thing.
It would explain why every president since 1963 has stood firm against Cuba and fidel.
If it came out that you knew and still led a reproachment with Cuba you would forever be labeled the worst president America ever had.
Sounds like BS to me.
Oswald did not fire a rifle on that day; there were profession killers hired through the mafia with the conneivence of LBJ and Hoover. They put the Kennedy family off the scent initially; RFK was told the day after by Hoover that his (RFK's) attempt to kill Castro was turned on his brother.
The murder of JFK is really old news. Read ULTIMATE SACRIFICE (just published, it's at Barnes and Noble); entire murder is explained. Just because the MSM won't cover it, doesn't mean it didn't happen this way.
> Pure BS. Castro is only in charge of Cuba because JFK let him keep it.
No. Bobby let him keep it.
The Cubans and the Russians and the Mob had every reason to eliminate JFK. So did Really Big Money. No one will ever know exactly how or who, but you can ask Marina Oswald and Gerry Ford. The rest are dead.
Didn't have to. Oswald would have done it for free, just the same, to prove his bona fide intentions to Castro. In return, Oswald would have wanted refuge in Cuba, but was denied that when Castro saw what a hot potato Oswald had become.
Jack Ruby's connections have never been sufficiently examined, in relation to Castro and Cuba. Some vague reference was made to Jack Ruby's "Mafia" ties, but this was another branch of the investigation that was neither proved nor disproved.
