JFK Files: CIA Plotted To Kill Castro, Stage Bombings In Miami
CBS Local ^

Posted on 10/27/2017 10:23:22 AM PDT by TigerClaws

The CIA mulled mafia hits on Cuban President Fidel Castro. Someone called the FBI threatening to kill Lee Harvey Oswald a day before Oswald’s murder. And the US examined sabotaging airplane parts heading to Cuba.

These assertions are some of many unearthed in newly revealed government documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Following a deadline 25 years in the making, the National Archives on Thursday evening released a horde of JFK files. President Donald Trump blocked the release of some documents at least temporarily, citing national security concerns, leaving researchers, conspiracy theorists and interested onlookers 52 previously unreleased full documents and thousands in part to sift through.

Here are some of the highlights from the trove so far:

Sabotaging plane parts A national security council document from 1962 — before Kennedy’s murder — referenced “Operation Mongoose,” a covert attempt to topple communism in Cuba.

In the minutes of a secret meeting on Operation Mongoose from September 14,1962, “General (Marshall) Carter said that the CIA would examine the possibilities of sabotaging airplane parts which are scheduled to be shipped from Canada to Cuba.”

CIA-mafia plot on Castro A 1975 document from the Rockefeller Commission detailing the CIA’s role in foreign assassinations said plans to assassinate Castro were undertaken in the early days of the Kennedy administration.

The report said Attorney General Robert Kennedy, the President’s brother, told the FBI he learned the CIA hired an intermediary “to approach Sam Giancana with a proposition of paying $150,000 to hire some gunman to go into Cuba and kill Castro.”

The attorney general said that made it hard to prosecute Giancana, a Sicilian American mobster.

“Attorney General Kennedy stated that the CIA should never undertake the use of mafia people again without first checking with the Department of Justice because it would be difficult to prosecute such people in the future,” the report reads.

The report also said the CIA was later interested in using mobsters to deliver a poison pill to Castro in order to kill him.

During Operation Mongoose in 1960, the CIA also considered staging terror events in Miami and blaming it on pro-Castro Cubans.

“We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington. We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized. Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the arrest of a Cuban agent and the release of prepared documents substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.”

The FBI got a death threat on Oswald the day before his murder A document dated November 24, 1963, showed FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover addressing the death of Oswald at the hands of Jack Ruby.

“There is nothing further on the Oswald case except that he is dead,” Hoover begins.

Hoover said the FBI’s Dallas office received a call “from a man talking in a calm voice,” saying he was a member of a committee to kill Oswald.

He said they pressed the Dallas chief of police to protect Oswald, but Ruby was nevertheless able to kill the gunman.

“Ruby says no one was associated with him and denies having made the telephone call to our Dallas office last night,” Hoover said.

Hoover went on to say the FBI had evidence of Oswald’s guilt and intercepts of Oswald’s communications with Cuba and the Soviet Union. He said he was concerned there would be doubt in the public about Oswald’s guilt and that President Lyndon Johnson would appoint a commission to investigate the assassination.

The deep state false flag agenda is exposed. Now we know why this information has been buried.

The CIA was planning to stage a false flag operation in America in order to provide justification for war and this false flag operation undoubtedly would have endangered the lives of Americans and likely would have resulted in dead and injured Americans and they then proceeded to cover that up for 50+ years.

Begins to put Oklahoma City 1995 and Las Vegas 2017 in context.

Most of this stuff has been common knowledge for years. The proposed rabble rousing in Miami was new to me.

Maybe we are 50 years too late re getting rid of the CIA as well as the FBI.

So are the CIA/FBI the Deep State, the tools of the Deep State, or both?

Paddock was a pro-Castro Cuban?

I would like to point out the excellent positioning of the Dallas officers and detectives. Surrounding Oswald and leaving him totally open in front.

Oklahoma City. THere was an Iraqi operative who assisted with the bombing. The feds knew about the bombing in advance and allowed it to happen. Why? To blame right wing talk radio and get Bill Clinton re-elected.

Vegas. Another false flag? Fast & Furious-style sting gone wrong? What happened to Paddock’s harddrive? What was his’ escape plan’? What was the $100k to the Philipeans for? Where’d he make his money? 5 million a year in gambling and he made money doing sucker games like video poker?

THIS
IS
HUGE

The fact is finally CONFIRMED: The CIA was and is willing to operate inside American borders. And that now casts doubt on every single terror act, every single bombing, in the past or future.

Agree. THa’s why I posted it.

I had several FR members calling me a ‘nutjob’ for even suggesting such a thing was possible re Las Vegas.

Conspiracy PING!

Sure. And so was Timothy McVeigh.

The fact that a US government agency considered staging domestic terror actions on Americans to further a geopolitical aim should give one pause. And that was over 50 years ago. At least then they didn't carry it out. Given the crap we can see from Clinton and Obama, it's not so far fetched to surmise that such an agency was given "cover" to perform such an operation.
