The John F. Kennedy Assassination [8]

Fri Feb 27 07:46:12 CET 2004

Researches and discussions on this topic, plus the decades-long financial and political links between the Bush family, German Nazi industrialists, prominent US and UK financiers, and 'eugenicists' and white racial supremacists (not necessarily in that order), are also put forth on the low-volume CERJ-VERITAS email list, which, among other exciting moments, bore witness to CERJer John Buchanan's mainstreaming of the Bush-Nazi story into the Associated Press with new researches and written evidence uncovered at the National Archives last summer.

Here's a new clue for you researchers out there, a reader's letter from the December 18, 2003 issue of the New York Review of Books, which I rescued off the back seat of my mom's car yesterday.  It was buried in the back pages of the NY Review.

Other pieces of the JFK puzzle recently uncovered include some indications that during the early 1960's, the period of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the botched Bay of Pigs invasion, George Herbert Walker Bush associated with a high SS covert operative who had been one of Hitler's most senior intelligence officers, a man by the name of Helmut Streicher, though by the time Bush knew him he was using a pseudonym or changed name.

Bear in mind also that the CERJ list sports a former soldier-of-fortune who lived and plied his trades in the same times as Bush and the early 1960s anti-Castro Cuban exiles, many of whom came to dominate the CIA's organizational culture in the late 1900s.  This man, Gerry Patrick Hemming, has affirmed to us in no uncertain terms that he was solicited to do the job on Kennedy, which, in the final analysis is fairly strong indication of conspiracy.

Qui Bono?  There is some speculation that the anti-Castro Cubans' mouths were watering to regain their gambling concessions in Cuba, which Castro's revolution had eliminated.  However, the odor of hidden financial conspiracies in the most hallowed and arcane halls of power, the private banks constituting the Federal Reserve, has also been smelt, since Kennedy had, in the summer of 1963, signed legislation that would have taken the prerogative of minting (issuing) new amounts of US currency back from these private interests and restored it into the hands of government, where it is written in the US Constitution that it belongs.

Kennedy's great political rival, Nixon, whose career had, since its beginning, been financed by the political and financial coterie centering around Prescott Bush and the Harrimans, later reversed Kennedy's initiative, taking the dollar off the precious metal standard that had always underwritten its financial value.  Then around the time Nixon left office in 1973, the OPEC nations jacked up the price of oil, causing a huge fuel shortage (many of us remember the gas lines).  The result?  The USA went into the protection racket, promising the OPEC countries (especially Saudi Arabia and Iraq) that they would prop up their dictatorships and monarchies if they, in turn, would accept only US dollars in payment for crude oil.  Thus was born the 'petrodollar' and the chain of events leading to the USA's subjugation and invasions of Iraq in the period 1991-2004, a quest to prop up the petrodollar that can only succeed so long as the rest of the world doesn't guess what they're up to.

You heard it here, folks.

So is it possible that the crypto-fascism that currently holds the USA in thrall:

... is at least partially the result of the unfolding of a 60-year-old Nazi plot?  We do know that despite overwhelming indications to the contrary, GHW Bush swore under oath at his confirmation hearing as Director of the CIA that he had never previously had any association with the Agency.

And how to stop this "great game" (what Smedley Butler called a "swell racket"?  Persuade the oil-producing countries to accept a range of currencies in exchange for their crude oil product.  It is only in this manner that the global Euro-supremacy racial hierarchy can be usurped and a more equitable outcome reached.  Link this with Trans-Atlantic Truth & Reconciliation Commissions, and then we have a start on a new path, a new future history that will honor, respect, and affirm all the world's peoples.

JFK'S Assassination

Letter To the Editors:

As published authors of divergent views on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, we urge the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Defense to observe the spirit and letter of the 1992 JFK Assassination Records Act by releasing all relevant records on the activities of a career CIA operations officer named George E. Joannides, who died in 1990.

Joannides's service to the US government is a matter of public record and is relevant to the Kennedy assassination story.  In November 1963, Joannides served as the chief of the Psychological Warfare branch in the CIA's Miami station.  In 1978, he served as the CIA's liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).

The records concerning George Joannides meet the legal definition of "assassination-related" JFK records that must be "immediately" released under the JFK Records Act.  They are assassination-related because of contacts between accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald and a CIA-sponsored Cuban student group that Joannides guided and monitored in August 1963.

Declassified portions of Joannides's personnel file confirm his responsibility in August 1963 for reporting on the "propaganda" and "intelligence collection" activities of the Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil (DRE), a prominent organization known in the North American press as the Cuban Student Directorate.

George Joannides's activities were assassination-related in at least two ways.

(1)  In August 1963, Oswald attempted to infiltrate the New Orleans delegation of the DRE.  The delegation -- dependent on $25,000 a month in CIA funds provided by Joannides -- publicly denounced Oswald as an unscrupulous sympathizer of Fidel Castro.

(2)  After Kennedy was killed three months later, on November 22, 1963, DRE members spoke to reporters from The New York Times and other news outlets, detailing Oswald's pro-Castro activities.  Within days of the assassination, the DRE published allegations that Oswald had acted on Castro's behalf.

The imperative of disclosure is heightened by the fact that the CIA has, in the past, failed to disclose George Joannides's activities.  In 1978, Joannides was called out of retirement to serve as the agency's liaison to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.  The agency did not reveal to the Congress his role in the events of 1963, compromising the committee's investigation.

In 1998, the Agency again responded inaccurately to public inquiries about Joannides.  The Agency's Historic Review Office informed the JFK Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) that it was unable to identify the case officer for the DRE in 1963.  The ARRB staff, on its own, located records confirming that Joannides had been the case officer.

This is not a record that inspires public confidence or quells conspiracy-mongering.  To overcome misunderstanding, the CIA and the Defense Department should make a diligent good-faith effort to identify and release any documents about George Joannides.

The government should make these records public in conjunction with the fortieth anniversary of the Kennedy assassination on November 22, 2003, so as to help restore public confidence and to demonstrate the agencies' commitment to compliance with the JFK Assassination Records Act.

The law requires immediate disclosure, nothing less.
