(B (JKennedy and Fidel, targets of the same conspiracy
(B (JBy Jean Guy Allard
(B (J
(B (J"Assasinating a president is a very complex operation: it's not just
(B (Jabout a lone individual smoking marihuana who takes it upon himself
(B (Jto shoot using a self-loading World War II rifle." In 1963: El
(B (JComplot (1963: The Conspiracy), Fabian Escalante Font, head of and
(B (Jcombatant in Cuban State Security for more than 30 years, presents
(B (Jthe Cuban view of a conspiracy that not only involved the
(B (Jassassination of U.S. President John Kennedy but also a plan to
(B (Jassassinate Cuban President Fidel Castro.
(B (J
(B (JEscalante's fascinating 250-page historical analysis was recently
(B (Jlaunched on the international market by Ocean Press publishers
(B (J(www.oceanbooks.com.au) in the course of a press conference with the
(B (Jauthor in Havana.
(B (J
(B (J"We are not linking the assassination attempt on Fidel with Kennedy's
(B (Jassassination. They made that link," explains the retired general,
(B (Jreferring to the work of the committee set up to investigate a large
(B (Jnumber of CIA plots to assassinate foreign political leaders headed
(B (Jby Senator Frank Church, who visited Havana in 1978.
(B (J
(B (J"This is not my initiative or one taken by Cuban State Security or
(B (Jthe national government. This link between Kennedy's assassination
(B (Jand CIA's Cuban-American mechanism and the mafia was posed by the
(B (JU.S. authorities. What we followed was the thread that they gave us."
(B (J
(B (JTHIS CONSPIRACY HAD OFFICIAL BACKING
(B (J
(B (JFabi$(D+!(Jn Escalante is very clear on the Dallas crime: "This is a
(B (Jconspiracy that had to have had official backing - I have no doubt
(B (Jabout that!"
(B (J
(B (J"I think I demonstrate how the whole operation was organized and how
(B (Jit was essential to blame Lee Harvey Oswald$B".(Jbecause Oswald was
(B (Jsupposed to come to Havana. By a sheer miracle, by chance, he didn't,
(B (Jhaving done his utmost to travel here. Imagine if at the end of
(B (JSeptember, the beginning of October - the time he wanted to travel -
(B (JLee Harvey Oswald had been in Havana for even one day, just one day!"
(B (J
(B (JOn the other hand, the author states that all the investigations into
(B (Jthe Kennedy assassination have confirmed that four shots were fired -
(B (Jand also, from different angles - which leads to the inevitable
(B (Jquestion: After Kennedy was killed, why have 100-plus people with
(B (Jsome connection with this crime also died?
(B (J
(B (J"We decided to investigate the issue in the 1990s," indicated the
(B (Jgeneral who, after retiring from the State Security executive in
(B (J1993, made a proposal to the Ministry of the Interior to create a
(B (Jstudy center linked to the organization, which is closely connected
(B (Jto the Cuban Revolution's many victories in confronting U.S.
(B (Jdestabilization plans.
(B (J
(B (J"We came across various reports of persons that intended to place a
(B (Jgroup of Cubans in Dallas on November 18, 1963, including Pedro Luis
(B (JD$(D+?(Jaz Lanz, the Novo Sampol brothers, Luis Posada Carriles, Orlando
(B (JBosch, Virgilio Paz, Antonio Veciana and others."
(B (J
(B (JAntonio Veciana's organization was already in place in Dallas before
(B (JKennedy's assassination, Fabi$(D+!(Jn Escalante noted: "That was perfectly
(B (Jdemonstrated. In other words, Antonio Veciana's group was organizing
(B (Jin an unusual way in Dallas and his office was located in a house
(B (Jthat, according to the Dallas sheriff - this isn't what I'm saying,
(B (Jit's what he said - Lee Harvey Oswald was seen entering$B".(JHow strange!
(B (JWhat a coincidence!"
(B (J
(B (JAt that time, Dallas was a gunrunning center for the Italian mafia
(B (Jwho purchased weapons from the U.S. Army and resold them to Cuban
(B (Jgroups. "And Dallas, together with New Orleans and Miami, were the
(B (Jcities that made up the axis of all the trafficking of weapons and
(B (Jillegal explosives."
(B (J
(B (JJMWAVE: "MORE CRIMINALS THAN THE EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD"
(B (J
(B (JFor Fabi$(D+!(Jn Escalante, 1963 was the year when the Cuban-American mafia
(B (Jwas consolidated and took on a life of its own: "Up until then, the
(B (JCuban-American exile movement served as a pool of players for the
(B (JCIA's plans; they were the CIA's soldiers of fortune."
(B (J
(B (JBut when in 1962, JM/WAVE, Miami's large operative base was
(B (Jorganized, counterrevolutionary activity moved onto a new stage.
(B (J
(B (JThe CIA station in Miami was enormous: "It had more criminals than
(B (Jthe current U.S. embassy in Baghdad, rumored to have 1,000 officials.
(B (JJM/WAVE had 4,000 salaried Cubans and 400 U.S. staff. 4,400 people!"
(B (J
(B (JThis large base, exclusively established to attack Cuba, logically
(B (Jhad many needs: "It began to organize companies that were
(B (Jfronts$B".(JBecause they needed a shipyard to repair the boats coming here
(B (Jto attack the island. They needed an airline company for their
(B (Jaircraft. They needed to buy weapons, they needed banks, and real
(B (Jestate$B".(JAnd they began to place counterrevolutionary Cubans in them."
(B (J
(B (JAnd these individuals noticed that the war could serve two ends, the
(B (Jgeneral underlined. "To launch a war against us$B".(Jand to make millions
(B (Jof dollars for themselves! And in that year of 1962, they started to
(B (Jmake fortunes that were already consolidated by 1963."
(B (J
(B (JFrom that moment on, the Miami mafia began to realize its own
(B (Jstrength: "We make and break presidents," the Miami capos reiterated.
(B (J
(B (J"It's clear what the Miami mafia is all about. They removed a
(B (Jpresident because they killed Kennedy and they've imposed a president
(B (Jbecause they put Bush where he is today."
(B (J
(B (J"AND THEY SAY IT LIKE THAT, SO CALMLY"
(B (J
(B (JFrom January through August 1962 Cuba experienced some 5,870 acts of
(B (Jsabotage and terrorism, assassination attempts and assassinations,
(B (JEscalante recalled.
(B (J
(B (J"And that's how it's talked about, so calmly$B".(Jit doesn't make the
(B (Jblood of any of these people boil. It's shameful."
(B (J
(B (JMany people have asked how Kennedy would have handled relations with
(B (JCuba if he had not been shot in Dallas. "He would have probably
(B (Jwanted peaceful coexistence with Cuba," said the author of 1963: El
(B (JComplot.
(B (J
(B (JBut he hinted: "Not for positive ends but because he already knew
(B (Jthat in this country, force would achieve absolutely nothing. They
(B (Jhad already tried military aggression, the largest undercover
(B (Joperation that the United States had embarked on up to that point."
(B (J
(B (JPORTER GOSS, FORMER OPERATIVE AND NEW CIA CHIEF
(B (J
(B (JWith respect to the Bush administration's recent appointment of
(B (JCongressman Porter Goss of Florida - an former operative of the
(B (Jorganization during the 1960s who took part in JM/WAVE's anti-Cuba
(B (Jactivities - as the new head of the CIA, the general questioned the
(B (Jintentions of such an individual.
(B (J
(B (JHe thought that this decision could have been taken with a view
(B (Jto "strengthening operative unity, giving prevalence to active units,
(B (Jspecial commandos, recruiting agents, penetration, sabotage,
(B (Jterrorism."
(B (J
(B (J"It's an age-old practice of U.S. intelligence," he stated.
(B (J
(B (JEscalante then recalled how at the end of 1974, terrorists Orlando
(B (JBosch and Virgilio Paz even went as far as bartering with the
(B (JPinochet dictatorship in exchange for recognition of their
(B (Jcounterrevolutionary organization: "We'll kill whoever has to be
(B (Jkilled and we'll plant a bomb wherever we have to put one... and they
(B (Jplanted the bomb on the Cubana passenger plane, they blew up
(B (JLetelier... They murdered left and right."
(B (J
(B (J"Who could deny that this is a terrorist mafia?" concluded Escalante.

Burkett In His Own Words to BBC Television by Greg Palast Tuesday, October 5, 2004 Shooting the Messenger Doesn't Discredit the Message When Dan Rather went down for airing a document he couldn't source, he did the courageous thing: blamed someone else. In this case, Rather and CBS loaded their corporate guilt on a guy you've probably never heard of before, rancher Bill Burkett of Abilene, a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the Texas Air National Guard. CBS did a no-no -- used a document on air without fully checking out its source. No excuses. Shouldn't have done it. They got the document from Burkett. Once CBS hung out its source and painted a target on him, Rove-ing gangs of media hit men finished him off. Burkett's an evidence "fabricator," "Bush-hater," and even, suggests William Safire in the New York Times as he fantasizes a dark left-wing conspiracy, a felon ready for hard time. Let me tell you about this Burkett "criminal." I met him while filming for BBC's Television documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes." Better than that, I'm posting a transcript of our hour-and-a-half interview. Burkett a `Bush-hater'? "George W. Bush was an excellent pilot," Burkett told me, "He had the right leadership skills, he had the 'Top Gun' approach." But I didn't go interview Burkett to chat about our President's days when he flew high. He has an important story to tell which has not one damn thing to do with a memo by some Lt. Col. Killian. It has to do with a phone call and a shredder. Burkett, a top advisor to Major General Daniel James at the Air Guard, was working at Camp Mabry with Major General James when a call came in from Joe Allbaugh, the Chief of Staff to then-Governor George W. Bush. Bush was about to get a political polishing up for his White House run, with a ghost-written autobiography, which would include his heroic years during the war in Vietnam. Allbaugh, according to Burkett, stated that Bush political operatives Karen Hughes and Dan Bartlett would be dropping by the Air Guard offices to look at the war record and wanted to, "make sure there's nothing in there that'll embarrass the Governor." According to Burkett, the General and his minions who work for the Governor, not the US Air Force, took this as an unsubtle hint from the boss to purge the record. Lt. Col. Burkett, both curious and disturbed by the call, wondered how his fellow comrades-in-arms would respond. His answer was in the trash-to-be-shredded bin: George Bush's military pay records. "I saw what are called LES (Leave and Earnings Statements) which are pay documents. I saw Retirement Points documents and other administrative information." He did not see their content, only Bush's name, and therefore cannot answer the 64 million dollar question: Did those records, now "missing," indicate that our President went AWOL while others ended up on the Black Wall? That's Burkett's story and it's in the BBC film. Watch the film, read the transcript, and judge for yourself. I think you'll find in Burkett a straight shooter, telling a piece of the larger draft-dodge story which mounting evidence corroborates. So what about that "Killian" document? We don't have it in the BBC film - we would not use a document we cannot source. Burkett passed it on to CBS from a third party, obviously someone still in the Guard or fearful of Bush Family retribution. Now why would they imagine that? Under pressure, Burkett gave CBS a false name to cover for the whistleblower. Burkett should not have done that. It is understandable but inexcusable. Period. Yet, that does not tell us the document was fabricated. It was the job of CBS to follow up -- they are the journalists. And it is also the President's job. Safire in the Times, in charging that Burkett faked the document, demanded the military open a criminal investigation. Darn right they should. They haven't. Why not? Maybe they don't want to check into this `fake' document because maybe it's not fake. An investigation should begin with questions for the President. After all, he can clear up the matter lickety-split. "Mr. President, did you or did you not ask your commander Lt. Col. Killian how you could shirk your duty to show up?" "Mr. President, did you or did you not refuse a direct order to take a medical exam and pee into a jar?" (The record is solid on the evidence of refusing that order, Mr. Top Gun -- you were stripped of your flight wings.) "Mr. President, did Texas Lt. Governor Ben Barnes make any calls to get you out of 'Nam and into the Air Guard? Yes or no?" See Dan, that's how it should be done. It wasn't Burkett's job to verify the evidence, it was the job of Dan and the President. It is for the President, not Bill Burkett, to answer the question, "Did your daddy the congressman vote to send other men's sons to Vietnam while pulling the strings to keep you cozy and safe? Yes or no, Mr. President, yes or no?"

Burkett for BBC can be read at http://www.gregpalast.com/documents/BurkettTranscript.pdf ***** 'Superman' Christopher Reeve Dies Of Heart Failure By Chris Michaud 10-11-4 NEW YORK (Reuters) -- "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve, paralyzed when he fell from a horse nine years ago, has died in a New York hospital of heart failure, his publicist said on Monday. Reeve, 52, went into a coma on Saturday when he suffered a heart attack during treatment for an infected pressure wound and died in Northern Westchester Hospital on Sunday afternoon without regaining consciousness, publicist Wesley Combs told reporters. Reeve's wife Dana issued a statement thanking "the millions of fans around the world who have supported and loved my husband over the years." Reeve, confined to a wheelchair since his riding accident in 1995, had in recent years campaigned for the rights of the disabled and for stepped-up research into the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Reeve's family asked that donations be made in his honor to the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation, formed in 1999 to boost collaboration between experts working on treatments for spinal cord damage. An accomplished rider who owned several horses, Reeve suffered multiple injuries including two shattered neck vertebrae when he was thrown from his horse at an equestrian event in Commonwealth Park in Virginia. Doctors initially predicted that he would never have any feeling or movement below his head. But his foundation's Web site, www.ChristopherReeve.org, said he had experienced a degree of recovery that his doctors considered "remarkable." BORN IN NEW YORK Born on Sept. 25, 1952, in New York City, where he continued to live as an adult, Reeve was a prototypical handsome leading man on stage and screen. The son of an English professor and his journalist wife, Reeve attended the Julliard school in New York City and graduated from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He began his acting career in summer stock and appeared on the television soap opera "Love of Life" while still in college. Reeve debuted on Broadway in "A Matter of Gravity" in 1976, playing Katharine Hepburn's grandson, and later starred in Lanford Wilson's "Fifth of July," in which he portrayed embittered Kenneth Talley, a gay, crippled Vietnam War vet. Despite his theater credentials and work on television, Reeve is best known as the hero of the "Superman" films. He was a virtual unknown when he was chosen from 200 candidates to become the big screen's incarnation of 1978's "Superman," in which he played fumbling Clark Kent who at will turns into the flying superhero. In 1993 he appeared in the Merchant and Ivory hit "The Remains of the Day," which was filmed in the English countryside. But even there, it was hard to shrug off his superhero image. "It is very strange to walk into the House and Hound, some pub from the 15th century in the middle of Wilshire someplace, then -- 'Aye, it's Superman, here he comes!"' he said in an 1993 interview on Cable News Network. Earlier movies include "Gray Lady Down," "Somewhere in Time," "Switching Channels," "The Bostonians" and "Deathtrap." Reeve and his wife Dana had one son, Will, now 12, and he had two children from a previous relationship -- Matthew, 25, and Alexandra, 21. ***** 10/13/2004 Brian Redman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.alcaabajo.cu/sitio/stop_ftaa/iv_reich/kennedy_and_fidel_121 004.htm Kennedy and Fidel, targets of the same conspiracy By Jean Guy Allard "Assasinating a president is a very complex operation: it's not just about a lone individual smoking marihuana who takes it upon himself to shoot using a self-loading World War II rifle."

That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply. Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector. ======================================================================== Archives Available at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ <A HREF="http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/">ctrl</A> ======================================================================== To subscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SUBSCRIBE CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNsubscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SIGNOFF CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Om
