Valkyrie at Dealey Plaza

I guess I'm unconvinced.

Hi Myra,

Thanks for reading and responding.

Among the nits I would pick:

-I would think that any group of conspirators planning an assassination would learn from earlier assassination attempts, successful and unsuccessful. For example, de Gaulle escaped at least one attempt because he had a skilled driver who sped up to elude the shooters. I think it's likely that the planners in Dealey Plaza took that into account and it's not a coincidence that SS agent/limo driver Greer obligingly slowed (or stopped) the limo until the deed was done. That doesn't necessarily prove that the planners of the de Gaulle and JFK assassinations where therefore the same... although there probably was some overlap.

Myra, I'm not comparing similarities between assassinations or assassination attempts, I noticed some of the same people in the Nazi plot and Dealey Plaza and wrote an article about it and now I learn that the CIA/DOD Task Force Alpha - responsible for both the maritime raids that are related to Dealey Plaza and the "contingency plan for a coup in Cuba" also STUDIED the Nazi plot to use against Castro. And there are a number of elements in the Nazi plot used at DP, so I believe they are related.

-I don't believe that President Kennedy approved the Bayo/Pawley mission. In fact I'm under the impression that it was planned without his knowledge in order to, if successful, embarrass him.

JFK approved a whole series of maritime attacks against Cuba aimed at critical economic infrastructure targets in April, 1963, which continued at an increasing pace up until the assassination. The Bayo/Pawley raid was not an officially approved CIA/DOD Task Force Alpha operation, but it was approved and ran by Ted Shackley at JMWAVE. There are hundreds of released documents that document Shackley's role before, during and after the operation.

-Lamar Waldron seems like he has consistently served up propaganda of the "mob dunnit" flavor. So I don't see his work as a persuasive building block for theories.

Lamar Waldon, I believe, learned about the "Contingecy Plans for a Coup in Cuba," realased under the JFK Act and filed under the Joint Chiefs of Staff JCS records, from Stu Wexler, who first recognized their signifiance. Waldron then published excerpts from these docs and made a big splash with them, trying to support his thesis that the Mafia hijacked one of the plots to kill Castro that had been devised under the coup contingency plans, and turne it around to kill JFK. I don't believe the Mafia were capable of hijacking anything, but that doesnt mean that the original docs, which include the fact that this group was studying the Nazi plot to use against Castro.

I am currently writing a review of Legacy of Secrecy that will get into this.

Just a few observations. FWIW.

Thanks, but I think my thesis that those within this small Task Force Alpha, DOD and CIA people, utilized the Nazi Valkyrie plot blueprint in their planning for a coup in Cuba and redirected it to Dealey Plaza.
