A few quick thoughts on the French connection (FC) on this very busy Christmas Eve.
ITEM -- In reading Richard Mahoney's Sons and Brothers, a copiously referenced volume, I was struck by the author's matter-of-fact, unsupported-by-citation identification of QJ/WIN:
"[William King] Harvey's inventory of potential killers included two Corsicans holding French passports, Santelli and Garioni, Italians from the Trieste area 'of questionable morality' who were 'willing to use gun ... ready to go to the end,' and a Belgian, Mozes Maschkivitzan, using the code name, QJ/WIN, who was asked to help with recruitment." (pp. 92-93, cloth edition; emphasis added)
This uncharacteristically unsupported information is sandwiched between footnoted passages detailing the method of Patrice Lamumba's execution, Harvey's Berlin tunnel escapade, and U.S. discussions of the pros and cons of saving Lamumba.
The author's father, William P. Mahoney, was United States Ambassador to Ghana during the period when JFK was sympathetic to the rise of African nationalism. My guess is that Richard Mahoney's decision not to identify the source of his information regarding Maschkivitzan, Santelli, and Garioni was prompted by a perceived need to protect his father.
ITEM -- Multiple, mutually exclusive, ostensibly well-informed identifications of QJ/WIN and WI/ROGUE, among other intelligence assets, fit neatly into the well-established use of Doppelgangers to protect intelligence operations.
ITEM -- Henrik Kruger's The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence & International Fascism is of inestimable value to the appreciation of the linking of the FC to JFK's assassination as a patsying operation.
ITEM -- The Team 5/Pakse Base hypothesis continues to resonate for me as, at the very least, a template for understanding how the Mechanics were selected. All the nonsense we have read about the likes of Charles Nicoletti, Johnny Roselli, Jack Ruby, Charles Harrelson, Malcolm Wallace, and their ham-fisted, shoot-them-up-close ilk being among the snipers who killed JFK is demonstrated to be disinformation when we consider a simple fact: only the most accomplished marksmen/hunters of human beings in the world would have been trusted to make the ultimate kill. Once the shooting began, Kennedy could not be allowed to survive. The lives of high-level Facilitators and, perhaps, some of the Sponsors depended upon the operation's success.
ITEM -- Do not throw the FC baby out with the bathwater. To reverse-engineer the JFK plot -- including why and how patsies were chosen and utilized -- is to understand and expose it. At the highest Facilitator level were individuals who had access to ZR/RIFLE and its assets, and who were fully aware of and likely complicit in the machinations detailed by Mahoney and Kruger.
A nuanced understanding of the so-called French Connection to JFK's assassination could not be more valuable to our efforts.
