The Tippit Case in the New Millenium

[James Lateer]

Regarding Cliff's scenario of the assassination: I agree entirely when it comes to the basic skeleton of facts:

1. Certain select persons from the CIA were somehow involved.
   
2. Events in post WWII Italy played an important role.
   
3. CIA hitmen were at least consulted and strongly considered.
   
4. Organized crime figures connected to Chicago played a role.
   
5. The Rockefeller family belongs at the top tier on the chart.
   
6. The assassination happened near that fuzzy boundary line between the criminal world and the world of government.
   

How I might disagree or expand on the above would be as follows:

1. The CIA hitman consulted was QJ/WIN who apparently was ex-Nazi Otto Skorzeny.
   
2. The conspiracy would have to have been way, way wider because there had to be an a priori fix on how the entire US government would respond.
   
3. By blaming Oswald, then killing Oswald, the perpetrators were acting on the assumption they would get away scott-free. This required a huge number of people to be "fixed" before the assassination. It had to anticipate a Jim Garrison or a number of Jim Garrisons. The cover-up had to have been signed off on before the event, not worked out afterwards. No one would sacrifice their lives (except the patsy), unlike the Lincoln assassination or other presidential assassinations.
   
4. Comparable assassination plans involved entire countries. The July 20, 1944 attempt on Hitler involved Army commanders spread from Berlin to Paris and points in between. The Lincoln assassination apparently involved Jefferson Davis, the Confederate Secret Service (and many people think the Vatican as well). The DeGaulle assassination involved an in-place nationwide network called "the old general staff" and possibly elements of the OAS and the entire French fascist establishment (sometimes called the Cagoule).
   
5. Many people can't really realize how something like the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee could be openly involved. This committee has been indentified as involved by both myself and Dr. Jeffrey Caufield, both of us coming at it from entirely different directions. Dr. Caufield was researching co-chairman James O. Eastland and I was researching co-chairman Thomas Dodd. Also, virtually no American comprehends the National Security Council which had to be involved.
   
6. Scarcely one American in a million was aware that the Government of West Germany was in control of NATO. Many researchers have suspected NATO but none realize that Germany controlled NATO.
   
7. Scarcely on American realizes that Germany lost World War II but the NAZIS WON WORLD WAR II. The scope of the coverup about Nazis in the post-War world is pretty much mind boggling. Most researchers don't imagine anything like this, or that it could be so completely swept under the rug. (Jim Marrs and similar authors have recognized this in re the assassination).
   
8. Although many, including my publisher Mr. Kris Millegan suspect George HW Bush, I have never seen anyone speculate as to exactly what his role would have been. I only put people on my chart when I could postulate a specific role or action that they would have been doing.
   
9. There would never have been a 55 year cover-up on behalf of the handful of anonymous people suggested above.
   

As for Allen Dulles. I have him on my organizational chart more as a liaison rather than a COO. The only person who could have been in charge of the plot would have to be someone like General Willoughby who had supervised the intelligence for all of Japan. Or someone who had been part of Operation Valkyrie like Allen Dulles was (but he was only a facilitator, not a planner of Valkyrie). Or possible somebody like J Edgar Hoover with 40 years of heading the FBI under his belt. Or Nazi Generals Hans Spiedel, Wernher von Braun or Reinhard Gehlen. The planner would have to understand the entire workings of the US Government, the US Intel establishment and law enforcement, even at the State level.

Dulles was necessary a link between the Nazis, the CIA, the Warren Commission, the Military, etc. etc. His history with intelligence in both World Wars and his contacts all over the world, especially with the ex-Nazis were unique and Dulles would have been an "ace of spades" for the conspirators.
