You have to give the marketing departments of The New York Times, Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle and LA Times some high praise for the excellent PR they have been churning out for decades. The news organizations have an artificially lofty reputation. Yet, they have been alligned with the government acting as their publicity agents and building up politicians’ reputations (especially Democrats); the media and academia believe that the major newspapers are ”watch dogs.” Now we know that all along they have been lap dogs for the government when Democrats are involved.
With the Internet, authors and bloggers are doing a much better job uncovering the cover-ups than the elite media.
Take for example the assassination of JFK. Testimony has been hidden from the public for decades. But with Richard Nixon, his own tapes are made public.
‘YEAH, I HAD the son of a bitch killed. I’m glad I did. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done it myself!”
These were the words of Carlos Marcello, the Mafia godfather of Louisiana and Texas. And he was talking about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. I believe he was played by John Candy in Oliver Stones “JFK.”
Marcello’s admission is in uncensored FBI files at the National Archives, detailed for the first time in a new encyclopedic book “Legacy of Secrecy,” by Lamar Waldron.
Waldron’s 848-page blockbuster was published in November, 2008. It involves 20 years of research that began in 1988 when he didn’t know that Mafioso Marcello had confessed to JFK’s murder back in 1985. The FBI kept this fact a secret for more than two decades. The Warren Commission released its cover-up version of the death of JFK at the hands of a lone assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald and a magic bullet.
IN 1963, only weeks after JFK was killed, the FBI questioned 14 Marcello mob associates. Yet the godfather’s name doesn’t even appear in the Warren Report. This secrecy shows that the government all the way up to LBJ had a hand in the cover-up at the very least, he appointed the Warren Commission and never had any questions directed to him.
Such as have you ever met Jack Ruby? Do you know Carlos Marcello, what he does for a living?
In their war against organized crime and the Mafia, President Kennedy and his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy were never able to convict any members of the Marcello crime family. And Marcello didn’t make his admission of guilt until he was serving a long prison sentence as a result of an FBI sting.
The FBI groomed an informant who became Carlos Marcello’s cellmate. These tapes have never been released but they reveal the godfather standing in the prison yard, flying into a rage and cussing the Kennedys.
Marcello confessed that he’d also met Lee Harvey Oswald and brought him into the plot via that Louisiana character David Ferrie, played by actor Joe Pesci in Stone’s ”JFK.” Now it is coming to light that the movie was very close to the truth.
A fictional account of the JFK assassination titled “Deadly Delusion” by Jim Jarman is also very close to the real truth. Jarman describes how Oswald had been groomed to be a patsy for a couple of years by a special rogue unit of the CIA with a dotted line to the Mafia. Oswald was not a marksman, but the perfect fall guy.
Marcello also admitted that it was he who had set up Jack Ruby “in the bar business in Dallas.” Ruby did his bit for the Marcello plot when he killed Lee Harvey Oswald before he could implicate anyone else. Later Ruby died in his cell just two weeks before he was scheduled to give new testimony before a Congressional investigation.

Free the JFK files! This has been a rallying cry for many citizens over the years. Oliver Stone’s 1991 film JFK closed with the following message:
A Congressional Investigation from 1976-1979 found a “probable conspiracy” in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and recommended the Justice Department investigate further. As of 1991, the Justice Department has done nothing. The files of the House Select Committee on Assassinations are locked away until the year 2029.
In the wake of the film, Congress was besieged by the public and quickly passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 to remedy this situation. What happened after that? Are the JFK files now all public? Was there a smoking gun in them? Is the government still hiding documents about the assassination, till 2029 or beyond?

An interesting comment “Justice Department has done nothing.”, yet seems like we are still seeing articles about the Justice Department bringing actions against various peole involved in civil rights murders, some dates which go back to the early sixties or earlier….wonder why the Justice Department has done nothing further about the murder of a President… maybe we should ask our representative and senators in Congress.

Firstly I would like to assure you that you are not dealing with a member of the Russian FSB, but if this incident was being investigated by the KGB, the first question they would ask would be WHO? followed by WHOM.
1. WHO was Lee Harvey Oswald?
2. By WHOM was he employed?
Lee Harvey Oswald was a highly intelligent and articulate man.
Able to learn Russian from scratch during the 1950’s and by the time he defected speak it so well he was able to pass as a native.
Perhaps somewhere in the records his wife may have mentioned whether he spoke it with a regional accent.
In any event when she first met him she was under the impression that he was Russian.
This fact needs to be properly investigated.
(Not only is Russian an extremely difficult language for foreigners to learn to speak perfectly, most of its own people are not able to speak it grammatically correctly.
Often leaving out the words for ‘a’ and ‘the’ because they are not sure which of the many different permutations they should use.
Only professors of Russian Literature are likely to speak the language without an accent of some kind.)
There is no record of him being debriefed by any government agency when he returned from his brief stint in Russia.
Like all successful intelligence agents he was a Grey Man, able to avoid giving away by appearance word or deed his real job within the USN.
Which was most likely to be surveillance of the Naval and Military personnel in the places where he was stationed.
In other words as well as interpreting the photos brought back by the U2 flights, he was also a snitch a stool pigeon.
By Whom was he employed?
If his job was counter intelligence there were only two organisations at that time who could legally employ him.
The FBI and the ONI, since he was ex Navy I would guess that his employers were the ONI.
Bannister who he worked with, was both ex FBI and ex ONI.
As someone who had lived in the soviet union and described himself as a Marxist/Leninist, his mission would mostly be the infiltration of organisations that were pro Castro.
Maybe Oswald discovered that the people he was involved with were plotting to kill Kennedy.
When he informed the ONI, they did nothing, so he informed the FBI.
Who put out an alert to all their offices in the USA.
WHO else was involved
Not the CIA.
At that time and until the middle of 1964 his brother Bobby Kennedy controlled the CIA’s clandestine service.
Watching the film JFK leads me to believe that the best match for X, is Brigadier General Ed Lansdale the head of the Special Group (Augmented), and outfit formed with one purpose in mind.
To kill Castro by any means.
Not the FBI
They put out an alert warning of an assassination attempt days before it happened.
Not Lyndon Johnson.
He thought the Cubans did it.
That leaves only the Southern Mafia, the ONI, (both of whom had originally backed Castro and supplied him with weapons through Guevara) and the Secret Service.
How many of the Secret Servicemen who were there that day, had links to the USN?
After the recent election where groups of rightwing inbreeds shouted terrorist and kill him, I sincerely hope that this time the Secret Service at up to the job.
That is more than just a gentle hint that President elect Obama’s incoming team should re VET all of them!
By a strange coincidence my science fiction story Task Force Nine available as a download from lulu.com under literature and fiction, features the ONI involved in the Kennedy assasination http://www.lulu.com/content/5254247

Lee Harvey Oswald — The Patsy
“The thing I am concerned about, and so is [Deputy Attorney General Nicholas] Katzenbach, is having something issued so we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin.” –FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, speaking on the telephone to Johnson aide Walter Jenkins two hours after Oswald was murdered by Jack Ruby, HSCA Report, vol. III, pp. 471-73. (The Warren Commission — charged with determining the truth in the JFK assassination — relied upon Hoover’s FBI as its primary investigative arm.)
“We have not been told the truth about Oswald.” –Senator Richard Russell, former Warren Commission member, conversation with researcher Harold Weisberg in 1970, Whitewash IV
“Lee Harvey Oswald is a question mark to history. The debate is often raised: ‘Was Lee Harvey Oswald alone as the assassin, or was he part of a conspiracy?’ The question is never raised: ‘Is it possible he didn’t do it at all?’” –Robert Groden, assassination researcher, interviewed by Nigel Turner for the documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy: Part 4
Oswald Framed by the CIA
Oswald is interviewed by the news media after his arrest. Oswald declared, “I’m just a patsy.”
The following transcribed text is from the documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy: Part 4.
NARRATOR: One person with no illusions about Oswald’s role [as a patsy for JFK's real killers] launched his own investigation into the Kennedy assassination in 1967, the former District Attorney of New Orleans, Judge Jim Garrison.
GARRISON: [Oswald] was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency and was obviously drawn into a scapegoat situation and made to believe ultimately that he was penetrating the assassination. And then when the time came, they took the scapegoat — the man who thought he was working for the United States government — and killed him real quick. And then the machinery, disinformation machinery, started turning and they started making a villain out of a man who genuinely was probably a hero.
NARRATOR: Six months before the assassination, Oswald had taken a mundane job [in New Orleans] with the Reily Coffee Company. But it seems his real activities were centered a few blocks away. From a small office on the corner of Lafayette and Camp Street, Oswald managed a local chapter of the pro-Castro Fair Play For Cuba Committee. Operating from an adjoining office was a sinister figure named Guy Banister.
Guy Banister
Guy Banister — Former FBI Agent and Naval Intelligence Operative. Also a Member of the Minutemen, the John Birch Society, the Louisiana Committee on Un-American Activities, and Publisher of the Racist Louisiana Intelligence Digest
GARRISON: Guy Banister — it’s difficult to say much about him, because he always stood in the shadows and pushed someone else to the front. He was a strongly disciplined man, perhaps the outgrowth of his many years as a special agent in charge of the Chicago office of the FBI. But he was a key man in the assassination, and that’s clear from the fact that Oswald’s “sheep-dipping” — his being portrayed as a Communist — was done out of Guy Banister’s office. So he was sheep-dipped for months as a Communist by giving literature: “Lee, hand this out today. This is your assignment.”
I came across the fact that Oswald, a private in the Marines, had taken a Russian examination. And I knew that privates did not take Russian examinations unless they were connected with intelligence. So that caused me to be curious about 544 Camp, which was the address stamped on one circular that he gave out one time before, obviously, Banister told him, “Lee, no more addresses.” It turned out that was a side address of Guy Banister’s private detective agency.
Oswald in New Orleans
Oswald distributing pro-Castro literature in front of Clay Shaw’s International Trade Mart at 124 Camp Street, a stone’s throw away from Guy Banister’s 544 Camp Street office, August 16, 1963.
Well I went down there to look at it, and I found myself not merely outside of Guy Banister’s office, but across the street from Naval Intelligence, across the street from Secret Service, around the corner was the Crescent City Garage, the garage for the intelligence community and then, two doors away, the Reily Coffee Company. I used to be in the FBI. I knew people in Naval Intelligence and they were either across the street, around the corner — the whole intelligence community was there, and right in the middle of it was Guy Banister having Oswald sheep-dipped as a Communist….
When the President ends up being assassinated and the scapegoat grabbed by the federal government, and killed before anything can be done to help him, turns out to be the man that Guy Banister had been the tutor of all the time, you have to conclude that Guy Banister was a key man in the assassination, and possibly the most important man that we encountered in our whole investigation. But he’s been dead so many years it’s a little hard to question him.
Was Oswald a spy? After reviewing all available evidence, the answer to the question seems to be a resounding “yes.” The following is a quick look at some of the evidence pointing to Oswald’s involvement with spy work:
* His childhood — a bright loner who read a wide range of books and was drawn to unpopular ideas, attracted by spy stories (the TV show “I Led Three Lives” and Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels were among his favorites) — perfectly fits the profile of persons most desired for intelligence work.
* Oswald’s Marine career is checkered with inconsistencies and unexplained events that suggest secret intelligence training.
* His assignment to Atsugi base in Japan, which housed a large CIA facility.
* Oswald’s incredible ability with the Russian language. Several Russians, including his wife, said he spoke like a native, yet this high-school dropout reportedly taught himself Russian from books.
* The fact that several persons — including a former CIA paymaster, Oswald’s Marine roommate, and fellow Marine Gerry Patrick Hemming — have suggested that Oswald worked for U.S. intelligence.
* The manner in which Oswald traveled so easily in and out of Russia as well as the unaccounted-for funds he used suggests intelligence guidance.
* The ability of this American “defector” to leave the Soviet Union with his Russian-born wife at a time when most Russians were being denied exit permits.
* The ease with which this would-be defector obtained passports both in 1959 and 1963.
* The fact that Oswald wrote a lengthy report on his activities in Russia and, later, made a detailed report to the FBI concerning his Fair Play For Cuba activities in New Orleans.
* Oswald’s notebook contained the word “microdots,” a common spy technique of photographically reducing information to a small dot.
* Oswald’s nonbinding “defection” to Russia fits perfectly the profile of an Office of Naval Intelligence program to infiltrate American servicemen into the Soviet Union during the late 1950’s.
* One of Oswald’s closest contacts, George DeMohrenschildt, was himself an intelligence operative, first for the Nazis and later for the CIA.
* One of the strongest pieces of evidence for Oswald’s involvement in spy work concerns a small Minox camera found among his effects by Dallas Police. Information developed by the Dallas Morning News in 1978 revealed the camera was not available to the public in 1963. It may have been spy equipment issued to Oswald. This evidence was so explosive that the FBI tried to get Dallas detectives to change their reports regarding the camera and also kept photos taken by Oswald hidden for nearly fifteen years…. Detective Rose told the Dallas Morning News: “[FBI agents] were calling it a light meter, I know that. But I know a camera when I see it…. The thing we got at Irving out of Oswald’s seabag was a Minox camera. No question about it. They tried to get me to change the records because it wasn’t a light meter. I don’t know why they wanted it changed, but they must have had some motive for it.” The motive may have been that the existence of the camera pointed to Oswald’s intelligence connections…. The three-inch-long German-made camera was famous for being used by spies on both sides during World War II.

Oswald Framed
Minox Spy Camera
“The Report of the Warren Commission infers that Oswald somehow must have learned Russian on his own, ostensibly in preparation for his forthcoming defection. Actually, Oswald was taught Russian by the United States government, as is indicated by Lieutenant Colonel Folsom’s testimony during which he happened to refer to one of Oswald’s grades in a U.S. Armed Forces Russian examination (Volume VIII, p. 307). The formal designation for this Russian examination was “Department of the Army, Adjutant General’s Office, PRT-157. Oswald took the Russian examination on February 25, 1959, while stationed at El Toro Marine Base in California.” –Jim Garrison, District Attorney of New Orleans, Press Release, February 21, 1968
“On at least two separate occasions, Banister employees saw Oswald handing out pro-Castro literature and reported it to their boss. In one instance Banister simply laughed, and on the other, he told his secretary Delphine Roberts: ‘Don’t worry about him…. He’s with us. He’s associated with the office.’ Roberts also said she saw Oswald at 544 Camp Street, and that he filled out one of Banister’s ‘agent’ application forms. She later told author Anthony Summers: ‘Oswald came back a number of times. He seemed to be on familiar terms with Banister and with the office.’” –Jim Marrs, Crossfire: The Plot that Killed Kennedy
“They are the most ruthless motherf—ers there are and if they want to get somebody, they will. They will do their own people up.” –David Sanchez Morales, talking about the CIA, (Morales was the Chief of Operations at the CIA station in Miami — JM/WAVE — and a consultant to the Deputy Director of the Joint Chiefs), Gaeton Fonzi, The Last Investigation
“We do know Oswald had intelligence connections. Everywhere you look with him, there’re fingerprints of intelligence.” –Republican Senator Richard Schweiker, member of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Village Voice, December 15, 1975
“The question of whether Oswald had any relationship with the FBI or the CIA is not frivolous. The agencies, of course, are silent. Although the Warren Commission had full power to conduct its own independent investigation, it permitted the FBI and the CIA to investigate themselves — and so cast a permanent shadow on the answers.” –Walter Cronkite, CBS News anchor, June 28, 1967
“If he had it to do over again, he would begin his investigation of the Kennedy assassination by probing ‘Oswald’s ties to the Central Intelligence Agency.’” –Richard Sprague, first staff director and chief counsel to the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations, statement to Sam Anson of New Times magazine, Gaeton Fonzi, The Last Investigation
“[Lee Oswald's mother] Mrs. Marguerite Oswald frequently expressed the opinion that her son was recruited by an agency of the U.S. Government and sent to Russia in 1959, but she stated before the Commission that ‘I cannot prove Lee is an agent.’” –Warren Commission Report, Appendix XII: Speculations and Rumors, Oswald and U.S. Government Agencies, p. 660
“[Former CIA Director Richard] Helms told reporters during a break that no one would ever know who or what Lee Harvey Oswald … represented. Asked whether the CIA knew of any ties Oswald had with either the KGB or the CIA, Helms paused and with a laugh said, ‘I don’t remember.’” –Helms, chatting with the Washington Post’s George Lardner and other reporters in 1978, during a recess of the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations, Gaeton Fonzi, The Last Investigation
“After the assassination the public was burdened with no quandary. Wherever the guilt really lay, the man identified as killing President Kennedy was stamped as a disciple of the extreme left. Rightly or wrongly, the political left was implicitly convicted along with Oswald. Was that verdict just, or were Oswald and his apparent heroes victims of a vicious double-cross by forces of the extreme right?” –Anthony Summers, Not in Your Lifetime
“I no longer believe that we were able to conduct an appropriate investigation of the [Central Intelligence] Agency and its relationship to Oswald…. I do not believe any denial offered by the Agency on any point. The law has long followed the rule that if a person lies to you on one point, you may reject all of his testimony…. We now know that the Agency withheld from the Warren Commission the CIA-Mafia plots to kill Castro. Had the commission known of the plots, it would have followed a different path in its investigation…. We also now know that the Agency set up a process that could only have been designed to frustrate the ability of the committee in 1976-79 to obtain any information that might adversely affect the Agency. Many have told me that the culture of the Agency is one of prevarication and dissimulation and that you cannot trust it or its people. Period. End of story. I am now in that camp.” –Robert Blakey, staff director and chief counsel for the U.S. House Select Committee on Assassinations, statement from 2003
“I have felt, I always felt, a sympathy for Oswald, and I just don’t feel it’s right that he would be, or his children should be, stuck with that stigma, that’s all.” –Chauncey Holt, CIA contract agent and Mafia associate (also identified as one of the “three tramps” photographed in Dealey Plaza), video interview, 20 June 1997
“Lee Oswald was totally, unequivocally, completely innocent of the assassination. And the fact that history … has been made a villain of this young man, who wanted nothing more than to be a fine Marine, is in some ways the greatest injustice of all.” –Jim Garrison, interviewed by Nigel Turner for the documentary, The Men Who Killed Kennedy: Part 4
