The WAR between JFK and CIA

[Cliff Varnell]

Thanks, Cliff. It's an interesting post, and I'd like to see some of the evidence behind several of the points, but even if every single thing checks out, I'd still say it is essentially irrelevant.

Even more significantly, it seems pretty clear that the purpose of the assassination was to provoke an invasion of Cuba.

And there is the relevance!

Oswald/s (mileage varies) was elaborately set-up as the Killer from Castro and yet the White House Situation Room had, within a couple hours of his capture, determined that this Oswald fellow acted alone.

Lyndon Johnson was met at the airport by Harriman & Ball. Ball flew in the helicopter with LBJ over to the White House. Harriman picked up top Democratic foreign policy man J. William Fulbright and the two of them high-tailed it over to the WH to see ol' Lyndon about ten minutes after LBJ and Ball arrived.

Max Holland's The Assassination Tapes, pg 57:

At 6:55 p.m. Johnson has a ten minute meeting with Senator J. William Fulbright
and diplomat W. Averell Harriman to discuss possible foreign involvement in the
assassination, especially in light of the two-and-a-half-year sojourn of Lee Harvey
Oswald [in Russia]...Harriman, a U.S. ambassador to Moscow during WWII, is an
experienced interpreter of Soviet machinations and offers the president the
unanimous view of the U.S. government's top Kremlinologists. None of them
believe the Soviets have a hand in the assassination, despite the Oswald association.

That's probably what Ball told LBJ on the chopper ride over.

Harriman, Bundy and Ball were the winners of the JFK Murder Cover-up -- Oswald as lone nut.

It was a zero-sum game. Oswald/s' handlers were the losers. Oswald as Red Agent was reduced to a rumor.

That's why Oswald's CIA handlers always take the fall for the murder in a lot of people's eyes.

Not mine. Oswald and Mexico City are NOT the keys to the case.

JFK's body and the machinations in Washington DC the afternoon of 11/22/63 are the keys to the case.

It's a collegial disagreement between us, Jim. A bracing discussion!

I don't think charging CIA guys with treason and accessory to murder lets them off the hook.

The plot went a lot higher than Harvey et al.
