Conspiracy Theories (part 2)

The End of Camelot

In the first part of this series on Conspiracy Theories, we addressed the JFK assassination and the huge number of potential witnesses that were eliminated, either naturally or unnaturally. It is always best when putting forth a theory to find the motive first, and that will usually lead to the identity of the perpetrator. In this case, there were many possible motives for killing Kennedy. JFK was planning to:

1) Replace the CIA with a new agency;

2) End the Vietnam War;

3) Drop LBJ from the ticket in 1964;

4) Force J. Edgar Hoover to resign as FBI Director;

5) End the Oil Depletion allowance;

6) Remove control of U.S. money from the Federal Reserve;

7) Normalize relations with Cuba.

Do you think he upset anyone with his plans to discontinue the CIA? How about ending the Vietnam War? Do you know who profited by keeping the war going? Who supplied the bombs, weaponry, transportation, food, etc.? Try the Rockefellers. Try Brown & Root Construction, the parent company of Dick Cheney’s Halliburton.

Planning to drop LBJ certainly raised the ire of a dangerous man as it was no secret that LBJ had Mafia connections.

J. Edgar Hoover, the cross-dressing FBI director was very powerful and a frightful enemy. He had dossiers on John Lennon, Bob Dylan, and many others.

How about ending the oil depletion allowance? A certain family named Bush would not have taken kindly to that suggestion. Neither would the Rockefellers.

Removing control of U.S. funds from the Federal Reserve (a private corporation of international bankers, etc.) would threaten the control of the very rich power brokers, especially the Rockefellers, America's most dangerous family. Any of these events would have been sufficient to enrage people who are suddenly economically threatened. The CIA, J. Edgar Hoover, George Bush, Richard Nixon, David Rockefeller -- these were powerful and ruthless enemies.

What about the Rockefellers? #7 on the list, normalizing relations with Cuba, really put a target on JFK's head.

We can now place Pepsi Cola on the list of possible suspects. Pepsi? Their CEO, Donald Kendall, husband of actress Joan Crawford, was in Dallas to celebrate JFK’s assassination with Nixon. Why would they be involved in JFK’s assassination? In late 1958, Fidel Castro was still fighting a guerilla war against the corrupt regime of Fulgencio Batista in Cuba. Fearful of Castro's revolution, many large corporations and people with money including the Mafia, left Cuba for the United States. Castro overthrew Batista in 1959. To prevent the loss of more capital, Castro began to nationalize some of the businesses in Cuba. In the process of doing so he came into direct conflict with the interests of rich and powerful Americans. Castro's ousting of Batista resulted in Pepsi-Cola losing a sweetheart deal for sugar. Castro told Pepsi to "pay world market prices for sugar".

United Fruit Company and Ford Motor Company also stood to lose hundreds of millions of dollars with Castro's takeover. The Rockefellers owned a significant amount of stock in United Fruit, and David Rockefeller had close ties to Ford Motors through Bechtel Corporation, (yes, the same company making billions in Iraq right along with Halliburton), having hunted as a little boy with Henry Ford II in Maine.

Pepsi-Cola worked out a plan with Vice President Richard Nixon whom they expected to become President in the elections of 1960 to invade Cuba, assassinate Castro, and return the sugar plantations to Pepsi. Nixon agreed and recruited George Bush who worked out of the CIA office in Miami, and E. Howard Hunt of Watergate fame to invade Cuba. They called their plan Operation 40. The CIA launched the plan. One thing they didn't plan on -- Nixon lost the election to JFK.

When JFK found out about the covert operation, he decided to cut off air cover for the 1961 invasion. Bush and the CIA lost hundreds of their best men, the worst blow the CIA had ever suffered. Now, not only were Nixon, Bush and the CIA furious at JFK, so was Pepsi, United Fruit, Ford Motors, the Rockefellers, and the Mafia drug runners with close ties to LBJ.

In early 1963, Walter J. Mahoney, the Republican Majority Leader of the New York State Senate, charged that the Kennedy Administration had dispatched Federal agents to Albany, New York, to gather embarrassing information on Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Mahoney said agents of the FBI, Treasury and Tax departments were "honeycombing" the state "under the guise of a gambling investigation and there were wiretaps galore. The ruthlessness of the federal administration is beyond all believing." He said the agents had been instructed to "pay particular attention to those who may be advisors to Governor Rockefeller." Mahoney said the "widespread network" was being run by United States Attorney General Robert Kennedy "to embarrass a great American.", referring to Rockefeller. He said the Kennedy Administration was "afraid of Rockefeller" (FBI 62-72612-84). JFK was now going after Rockefeller, one of the richest, most powerful and ruthless men in America. JFK's fate was sealed.

Prior to the assassination, in October and November of 1963, at least nine warnings that an assassination was planned were sent to various government offices in Europe, the United States, and Australia. Nobody paid attention. Several politicians from Texas and neighboring states begged JFK to cancel the trip to Dallas. Governor John Connally even flew to Washington to plead with JFK to cancel the appearance. The only one who insisted on JFK keeping the commitment was Lyndon Johnson. It seems everyone knew JFK was going to be killed except JFK.

Just from examining possible motives, we have a list of suspects who at the very least had prior knowledge of this event. That list includes the Rockefellers, George HW Bush, Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, E. Howard Hunt, and that is only the beginning. Richard Nixon's mentor in politics was none other than the man who had tried to arrange the assassination of FDR in 1933, the notorious Prescott Bush. Nixon had at one time previously employed Jack Ruby, Oswald's eventual assassin. What a small world!

On the date of the assassination, Nixon stayed at the Baker Hotel as a guest of Pepsi-Cola according to the Dallas Morning News on that date. However, in testimony to the FBI, he denied being in Dallas on 11/22/63. Two of the three tramps arrested behind the fence on the Grassy Knoll were E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis, both of whom seven (7) years later would be arrested and gain fame as Watergate Burglars, another Nixon mis-adventure.

For further evidence, Rolling Stone Magazine, on 4/5/07, published the Last Confessions of E. Howard Hunt, in which he identified these men as the key participants:

Lyndon B. Johnson: LBJ, whose own career was assisted by JFK nemesis J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), gave the orders to a CIA-led hit team, and helped guide the Warren Commission/lone gunman cover-up.

Cord Meyer: CIA agent, architect of the Operation Mockingbird disinformation apparatus, and husband of Mary Meyer (who had an affair with JFK).

David Atlee Philips: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Recruited William Harvey (CIA) and Cuban exile militant Antonio Veciana.

William Harvey: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Connected to Mafia figures Santos Trafficante and Sam Giancana.

Antonio Veciana: Cuban exile, founder of CIA-backed Alpha 66. 

Frank Sturgis: CIA operative, mercenary, Bay of Pigs veteran, and later Watergate figure.

David Morales: CIA hit man, Bay of Pigs veteran. Morales was also a figure involved with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

Lucien Sarti: Corsican assassin and drug trafficker, possible "French gunman," Grassy Knoll (second) shooter.

So, that summarizes how determining the motive for a crime leads to the suspects. Now we will put forth the same process to examine and answer questions that exist in regard to the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11/2001, not to sensationalize anything, but simply to examine the details of what many consider to be an obvious cover-up of that event. Stay tuned . . .
