According to a 1970 report called "The Torbitt Document," a compilation of information gathered by a Texas attorney from "court-approved and documented evidence" from sources in the U.S. Customs Department and the Narcotics Bureau, from the Warren Commission and the Garrison investigations, Bloomfield's Permindex Corp. supervised five subsidiary groups: (1) "White Russian" organization called the Solidarists--members Ferenc Nagy of Dallas (former Hungarian premier) and Jean De Menil of Houston (head of Schlumberger); (2) American Council of Churches--H.L. Hunt organization; (3) Free Cuba Committee--Carlos Prio Soccaras (Cuban ex-president); (4) "The Syndicate"--Clifford Jones and Bobby Baker working with Joe Bonanno Mafia family; (5) NASA's Security Division--Werner Von Braun, headquarters in Redstone Arsenal in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and on East Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. The Kennedy assassination was planned and carried out by Division Five of the FBI, which acted in conjunction with the Defense Intelligence Agency under the control of the Joint Chiefs. These divisions had a highly secret police agency called the Defense Industrial Security Command, which also worked with NASA, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), USIA and weapons and ammunition supply corporations (munitions makers) which contract with those agencies. The police force originated in the 1930's to work for the Tennessee Valley Authority, then expanded to the AEC, tying it in with army intelligence. Agents of this force included Clay Shaw, Guy Bannister, David Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, Jack Ruby and others, and was headed up by Bloomfield. According to this report: The principal financiers of Permindex were a number of U.S. oil companies, H.L. Hunt, Clint Murchison, John De Menil, Solidarist director of Houston, John Connally, as executor of Sid Richardson estate, Haliburton [sic] Oil Co., Sen. Robert Kerr of Okla., Troy Post of Dallas, Lloyd Cobb of New Orleans, Dr. Oechner of New Orleans, George and Herman Brown of Brown & Root, Attorney Roy M. Cohn, Chairman of the Board for Lionel Corp., New York City, Schenley Industries of New York City, Walter Dornberger, ex-Nazi general and his company, Bell Aerospace, Pan American World Airways and its subsidiary, Intercontinental Hotel Corp., Paul Raigorodsky of Claiborne Oil of New Orleans, Credit Suisse of Canada, and Heineken's Brewery of Canada and a host of other munitions makers and NASA contractors directed by the Defense Industrial Security Command. Torbitt also mentions that a group of “25 to 30 professional executioners have been based in Mexico and have been used by espionage agencies of the U.S. and various countries all over the world for political killings for the past 25 years.” The reference for this information is given as the New Orleans District Attorney [Jim Garrison] records and the private files of Bill Allcorn [special assistant attorney general of Texas]in the Buddy Floyd assassination case in Alice, Texas, 1952. The “espionage section of the FBI’s nest of professional assassins in Mexico” began in 1943 under J. Edgar Hoover, who allowed the D.I.A. to use the assassins by going through an American-based subsidiary of Permindex called Double-Chek Corporation. One unauthorized contract killing two of the assassins were hired to commit was in 1952 involving an Alice, Texas district judge who was a bitter enemy of George Parr of Duval County, Texas. George Parr’s personal lawyer was indicted for conspiracy to murder, along with the two assassins. During the investigation, Bill Allcorn was told that the contact person for the group of assassins was a man named [John Howard] Bowen [alias Albert Alexander Osborne], posing as an American Council of Christian Churches missionary in Mexico, who could be reached through the owner of the St. Anthony Hotel in Laredo. This same man had organized in 1942 a nazi black shirt group called the “Campfire Council” in the country next to Knoxville, Tenn. In 1964 he told FBI agent in Laredo that his real name was Albert Osborne and he had been born in 1888 in Grimsby, England. Other witnesses told investigators Osborne operated a mission in Texualucan, Pueblo, Mexico, consisting of a large home where he “gathered in young men who appeared to have no home or ties.” (XXV, 51 Warren Com. Rep.) >From his home in Laredo, Osborne traveled regularly to Austin, Dallas and Tyler. In >Dallas, he visited H.L. Hunt. On October 10, 1963 he was in New Orleans, at the office of Clay Shaw at 124 Camp, also at the office of Maurice Brooks Gatlin of the FBI and Guy Bannister, manager for Division Five of the FBI at 644 Camp. Another person using the John Howard Bowen alias was Fred Lee Chrismon, who worked for the Defense Industrial Security Command. Chrismon was an immigrant from Syria who had been closely associated with Osborne since the 1920s. Before the publication of the Torbitt Document, there was other evidence of this assassination team. In 1964 J. Evetts Haley published his classic book, A Texan Looks at Lyndon, in which he goes into great detail about the “landslide” election of 1948 which swept Johnson into the U.S. Senate. This he did through the funds furnished him from George and Herman Brown of Brown & Root, which he had rewarded so well with government contracts while he was a Congressman. But even more important was George Parr, county judge of Duval County in South Texas, whose Precinct 13 ballot box in Alice, Texas put Lyndon over the top. In fact, the Buddy Floyd assassination case referred to in Torbitt resulted from a feud between George Parr and a political enemy. Parr had been convicted in 1928 on a guilty plea for which he received a probated sentence. In 1934 this sentence was vacated when Parr was caught changing signed documents after they were filed with the county clerk, in order to defraud. But he was soon out. Referred to as the “Duke of Duval,” he owned serveral banks, 70,000 acres of land with a mansion. He fell out with Congressman Richard Kleberg, for whom Lyndon Johnson began his Washington career working as an aide, in 1948 when Parr supported Johnson. In that election, John Connally, a Floresville native and long-time friend of Johnson, served as his campaign chairman and in 1948 he “had virtually assumed command of the Parr and Johnson forces. The voter fraud case ended up in a hearing before Judge Bob Smith with Lyndon Johnson allegedly calling George Parr and pleading: “George, don’t burn those ballots. It’ll be a reflection on me.” To which Parr replied: “To hell with you. I’m going to protect my friends.” The various election judges were subpoenaed to testify, coached in advance by Parr. All election records were discovered to be “missing.” Several of the persons called to testify did not show up, having been called to Mexico “on business.” Johnson was represented in the hearings by Abe Fortas and Thurman Arnold, as well as Charles I. Francis of Vinson & Elkins of Houston. He also had Alvin J. Wirtz and John Cofer in Austin. One of Parr’s enemies was attorney Jacob Floyd of Jim Wells County, of which Alice was the county seat. Another enemy was W.H. Mason, a news commentator on Alice radio station KBKI, who exposed Parr’s corruption, especially his ownership of a dance hall which covered for illegal booze and prostitution. Parr’s henchmen beat Mason up and shot him dead in July 1949. The trial took place on a change of venue in Bell County, prosecuted by Jim Evetts. Although Evetts was shot at in January 1950, the shots missed. Mason’s killer was convicted and imprisoned, where he “committed suicide” in April 1952. A few months later Jacob “Jake” Floyd was targeted for assassination, but through a fluke, his son was killed instead. Percy Foreman defended one of the killers, with his fee reportedly paid by George Parr. As to this turn of events, Haley remarks: In its incipiency, public sanction of immorality, assassination and illegitimacy may seem a local if not a minor matter. But the malignancy spreads! What a strange coincidence that Lee Harvey Oswald, on his return from Mexico shortly before the Kennedy assassination, detoured from Laredo to stop and spend the night in “search of a job” at Alice, in Jim Wells County, Texas, before proceeding to Dallas and his world- shocking deed! According to Torbitt, the base of operations in Mexico was “Clint Murchison’s huge ranch.” Murchison, according to his authorized biography by Jane Wolfe, first became interested in Mexico in the early forties. It was at that time he found the land on which he was to built his mansion on 125,000 in Acuna, which was finished in 1950. The first guests were the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. J.
