William "Guy" Banister - now a Top Ten JFK Conspirator although NOT IN THE CIA - John Bevilaqua - 26-12-2009
Recently discovered evidence of Banister's role with the Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, through the auspices of Senator James O. Eastland and DeLesseps Morrison, former mayor of New Orleans indicates to me that Banister not only played a very important role in setting up the Oswald legend from scratch but he also was very active in anti-Civil Rights operations at the behest of both James O. Eastland and Wickliffe P. Draper and Leander Perez the political boss of Plaquemines Parish which was Jim Garrison's election district.
1) Banister and Ferrie were allegedly sighted at the Clinton, LA voter registration drive involving Oswald which was another SISS project of Senator Eastland's and Robert Morris'.
2) Banister apparently worked for James Eastland's Senate Internal Security Sub-committee as an investigator, for Draper's Genetics Committee and for Eastland's and Draper's MissSovComm as an investigator, in all of these roles described herein.
3) Banister has been identified by Dick Russell as the person behind the Oswald FPCC leafleting campaign. The leaflets were stamped with 544 Camp Street, in the same office building as Banister. This would make it yet another SISS, Eastland and Morris project, too.
4) Eastland was on the payroll of Wickliffe P. Draper as head of Draper's Genetics Committee at SISS and Eastland organized MissSovComm with Sam Crutchfield, part of the Jesse Helms Organization that included the World Anti-Communist League and the Order of St. John of Lazarus along with the Hunt Brothers and members of the Shickshinny Knights of Malta.
5) Draper was the MAIN SUPPORTER of The Mississippi Sovereignty Commission, a project of Senator James Eastland, to the tune of over $250,000 according to Doug Blackmon in the June 11, 1999 issue of The Wall Street Journal.
6) Eastland (and perhaps Thomas J. Dodd as well) set-up Oswald to order a mail-order Manlicher-Carcano from Klein's Sporting Goods in Chicago and that was later used by the Warren Commission to further implicate Oswald.
7) Banister headed up The Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean from the United Fruit building which later was rolled into the World Anti-Communist League and became one of its major delegate contributors with 10-12 Latin American and Central American nations later represented.
8) Banister was a John Bircher of the first magnitude and circled in the orbit of some of the South's most virulent and violent anti-Communists, anti-Liberals and anti-Civil Rights activists.
9) I believe his office was in the same building as United Fruit who listed people like Allen Dulles, John Foster Dulles, the Paines, the Cabots, the Lodges, Gen. Robert E. Wood from America First and the American Security Council and of course Andrew Preston, Wickliffe Draper's cousin from Boston Fruit as major shareholders over the decades.
10) James Eastland was one of the primary movers and shakers behind Operation Red Cross (Operation Tilt) also known as The Bayo/Pawley Affair which almost everyone agrees was an attempt at the Character Assassination of JFK. After it's failure, the plot turned into the REAL THING. Senator Barry Goldwater was going to be the primary beneficiary if Bayo had indeed been able to produce any Russian Missile Officers. Nathaniel Weyl stated that Operation Red Cross, specifically DID NOT have a CIA COMPONENT to it, after the demands of Eddie Bayo and Co.
My conclusion, is therefore 100% diametrically opposed to the concept that William Guy Banister was small potatoes in the JFK conundrum. While he was not CIA, like Garrison claimed, he was certainly one of the Top 3 conspirators and plotters in the New Orleans area. Maybe there are some who would automatically disqualify
Baniser BECAUSE HE WAS NOT CIA, but that would be a grossly egregious error in judgment IMHO.
Guy Banister should be pursued because he was so close to 4 of the Top Ten JFK Conspirators: Senator James O. Eastland, Robert J. Morris, Leander Perez who organized the Jung Hotel meeting in New Orleans the week before the JFK hit, and Wickliffe Preston Draper. Banister either headed up or was a major organizer in Five of the Top Ten organizations behind the plot to murder JFK: Senate Internal Security Subcommittee of Eastland, Dodd and ...ahem Robert J. ("Mr. McCarthyism") Morris Eastland's chief counsel on SISS, The John Birch Society of Morris, Willoughby and Walker, the World Anti-Communist League, The Mississippi Sovereignty Commission of Eastland and Draper and Wickliffe Draper's Draper Eugenics Committee on SISS and The Pioneer Fund.
The role of Banister in the JFK hit was MASSIVE, ALL-PERVASIVE, ALL-INCLUSIVE and ALL-ENCOMPASSING. To say otherwise, is IN MY HONEST OPINION, very short-sighted.
I have now raised Banister's ranking to include him as a TOP TEN JFK Conspirators of ALL TIME, after being sent the attached memo in the MissSovComm files, and other articles, indicating that Banister was considered one of the primary MSC investigators, one of Oswald's main legend builders, and a close confidante of both Draper, Morris and Eastland all present in the novel, The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon. End of argument about Banister's alleged innocence in the JFK hit, I would hope?
Many persons have postulated over the decades that the solutions to the identity of the organizers behind Operation Red Cross and the identity of those who were involved in the building of the Oswald Legend in Clinton, with Klein's and with the FPCC (if the same persons and organizations were involved) would actually lead to The Final Solution to the JFK conundrum.
Well that time is now here! Pop the corks and pour out the bubbly! Stick a fork in it. It's done! SISS is the sound made by Snakes in the Grass and certainly Condon's choice of The Dirty Dozen McCarthyites, MacArthurites, members of SISS, The Pioneer Fund, WACL, SMOM, SKOM, Army Intel, the CIA and The John Birch Society qualify as true Snakes in the Grass! And only Angleton and Cline in Condon's Dirty Dozen were from the CIA. Go figure!
