Dulles headed up the ad hoc bureaucracy to plan the murder and, just as importantly. the cover up. Rockefeller with Dulles would be the perfect people to connect elite industrial and banking families with the CIA and the military.
Yes, the Dulles-Rockefeller connection via Sullivan & Cromwell, Standard Oil and Freeport Sulphur sticks out like a sore thumb. As Fletcher Prouty liked to say the most important letter in the acronym CIA was the A, for Agency. They were not so much an agent for the President as they were for the wealthy, powerful interests outside of government that actually provided funding for some of their operations (e.g., William Pawley, the Luces and others). Time-Life getting control of the Z-film is a strong tell.
Quote:I see the Cubans, the Mafia and the right wing Texans as false sponsors and a source of personnel for the hit and other jobs. After all, they could never have pulled off the cover-up and they were also essential in setting up the patsy with a credible legend.
My personal opinion is that the Mob's only role was putting the arm on Ruby to kill Oswald after the initial plan to whack him after his "escape" from the TSBD failed.
Quote:LBJ? Hoover? No opinion, but very possibly they had been alerted. If not, they knew who was behind it within hours.
Of course they knew. Why else would they have initiated the manipulation of the physical evidence and the scrubbing of Oswald's school, work and military records within 24 hours of the assassination in order to merge the multiple assets using the LHO identity into the guy that was actually in custody. Both LBJ and Hoover had to suspect, if they weren't already aware, that Oswald was being set up by someone connected to US intelligence, after learning that the photos and voice recordings of "Oswald" at the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Mexico City did not correspond to the person arrested in Dallas. They sure couldn't have believed the story about Soviet/Cuban involvement that they used to sell the cover up. Why would the Soviets or Cubans want to create a link between a guy they hired to kill Kennedy and visits to their embassies?
