Quote:Mark says; Perhaps the three of you can join together again and get something going with your sad saga.
See what I mean? You don't know what sad is, I doubt you ever seen your father about to kill your mother. It's kinda funny because there is or should be a cliche that says, no matter what your parents did in life, a child will always love his or hers parent, just because.
If we could all live with a heart of a child right?
I have given everyone real, true information regarding my father, Jack and Watergate, people will always want to believe what they want to believe. I will tell you this, of all the stories about Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis, and even in the files of James McCord not a single person knew about Edwin Kaiser, well, except for Weberman who has done his homework, but no one, and I mean no one heard of my father, and had I not come forward after finding my father's information, no one would have known about him and another side to the story.
Perhaps, people really do judge harshly, perhaps, I am to gullible, and perhaps, my mother was right, I should have left best alone!
Remember, I keep reiterating (14) men, do not forget this number. Some were powerful while others were not. You cannot implicate someone who has no power without implicating those who do. Overtime, they all had to go, and die they did whether it was before they were called to testify at the Warren Commission which wouldn't have happened anyways, not if their names are kept quite, but then there was the HSCA and Congress was getting involved instead of a hand full of men that made up a committee. Now, the country was getting involved, there could be nothing left for chance. And so, whether they were planning to testify before the Warren Commission, or go before the HSCA it couldn't happen. Though the company may not have been directly involved, they were nonetheless accomplices of the facts, or.... They wouldn't have created Oswald's fake photos in Mexico and turn them in, and help exfiltrate these men from Dallas.
You see, some of these men held great power and influence within while others did not, but nonetheless they ALL had to go. In other words, have you not heard of the old cliche mon ami? "You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours."
All the other inquires were nothing more than a show, like some of the lawyer's that put on a mock drama courtroom style hearing played out for Oswald. There's no need in selling any charades when the public who has not study any part knows the truth without evidence presented, but how can that be mon ami when some folks have presented evidence and no one believes?

The killing of that president, the assassination of that president, why was the president assassinated, killing Kennedy. Jack, Jack ,Jack. Assassination forums, who, what & why? We want to know, what really happened.
1.) No! You don't want to know, you only want to drag this on as the best murder mystery ever to be unsolved, but! That is not true mon ami.
2.) Was it because of JFK? No, it was for the country.
3.) Was it about JFK? No! It was about the country, not the man, and here is where many get confused.
4.) Was it for or about Cuba? No, some of the men who were involved were not Cubans, it had nothing to do with Cuba, but it did have everything to do with who was running that country.
5.) Was it because of commusium? Yes, communist is what reared its head 90 miles off the coast of the United States as [they,] Communist Cubans who were called G-2 & Russians called KGB alike infiltrated the United States, this had nothing to do with JFK not even JFK could build a wall to keep them out, so... Some men took matters into their own hands, it's not like the CIA wasn't fully aware of what was going on, and, if they couldn't get to Castro they would get to Kennedy for the country. It was the only way they thought of having a chance at getting to Castro, but it didn't work, the plan was perfect, and the men were well trained. LBJ just didn't want to antagonize WWIII, not that LBJ was unwilling to go to war with Cuba which could've been annihilated, Russia could not, therefore considering the facts, was it not better to lose one man, than for a whole nation to perish?
LBJ did the unthinkable in the eyes of American citizens, he formed the Warren Commission rather than going to Congress and had the assassination of Kennedy covered up. LMAO! (laugh my a$$ off.) And, he (LBJ) got away with it, of course Congress would later play along to appease the public, so they formed the HSCA, another joke, nothing got done other than a waste of taxpayers money, and in the end, they were able to weed out who else had or knew ANYTHING about that president who got wasted, who refused to eradicate communism... He just couldn't do it, no.... He wanted to pretend that he and Castro could live side by side... LMAO! BS! So, anyone who knew anything or had information about November 22, 1963 like (photos,) and [BEFORE] they could testify at the HSCA, what happened to them? Oh yeah, they too were killed, nowadays, everyone and anyone posting theories along with all the BS that's out there now it really is nothing more than that an allusion, "SMOKE & MIRRORS" they WON!
Nixon was the architect of the BOP, but no one really knew why Watergate happened, and I mean (no one) no one I know of except those who were involved, it's like the kidnapping of Juan Manuel Fangio, only a few knew and this is where all the speculation comes in. It's like speculating, about a sixth burglar, everyone heard about him, and everyone knew there were more than five burglars involved in Watergate, but NO ONE COULD FIND THE SIXTH, he was never caught, no one knew his position, what he did, or who he was... Am I right mon ami?

"[They] knew that the Monroe Doctrine made by President Monroe, which was made to protect the Americans, North, South and central from infiltration from other government foreign and abroad was not Kennedy."

I do apologize mon ami, it must have slipped my little gray cells, I did not respond properly to your statement, and therefore that would only make me unquestionable rude. You said, "Other subjects / theories / musings go on your threads. Thanks." You may stick them wherever you like monsieur.
I'm sorry Peter that I have destroyed many stories, why do you go on to say my information is theories? When I have already proven them to be otherwise? You don't want to know the truth, you want theories right? Stories to create other stories, so you think that by dumping my information here is where it belongs, because (you) think so. If true, then why has NO one ever discredited me? Why are there more than 300 downloads of my PDF that I had to remove before everyone starts to write more BS without understanding.
I'm truly sorry that a nobody like me was never heard of by any researcher many, many years ago, and I'm sorry I didn't disclose my father much sooner in time, but please understand, that's because my mother had her reasons. Don't hate the player, hate the game, ask yourself, what are you really in this for, what is it that made ANY of you really want to research Watergate or the assassination, for you, or something else? You see.... I can answer a question so simple a question without hesitation, and that's because this hits home for me. However, I would LOVE to understand why you??? For many of you...
Sometime after the birth of their second child in 1955,
....the Rorkes moved to 7 West 96th St. in Manhattan, NY and that address was still reported ( 124-90019-10341 )
and described as Rorke's permanent address on 25 April, 1963. Manhattan residents, especially those raised to
adulthood in that place seldom move to other boroughs. Unless both Rorke and in-law Sherman Billingsley were
bankrupted simultaneously, Rorke would not have had a residence in Flushing. The family was evidently close knit.:
Peter Janney's uncle was Frank Pace, chairman of General Dynamics who enlisted law partners Roswell Gilpatric and Luce's brother-in-law, Maurice "Tex" Moore, in a trade of 16 percent of Gen. Dyn. stock in exchange for Henry Crown and his Material Service Corp. of Chicago, headed by Byfield's Sherman Hotel group's Pat Hoy. The Crown family and partner Conrad Hilton next benefitted from TFX, at the time, the most costly military contract award in the history of the world. Obama was sponsored by the Crowns and Pritzkers. So was Albert Jenner Peter Janney has preferred to write of an imaginary CIA assassination of his surrogate mother, Mary Meyer, but not a word about his Uncle Frank.

.....................
CIA wanted a new entity, the "Special Task Force Operations" that would report directly to the DD/P, a "command mechanism" that would handle such projects as the Cuban operation. The 35 page document is titled MEMORANDUM FOR: Director of Central Intelligence. It's dated 6 April 1962 and its SUBJECT is: "Final Report of Working Group on Organization and Activities," which sounds innocent enough, but is anything but.
Simultaneous with the writing of this report, let us look in on a formidable CIA asset of the time and see what he is up to and how CIA exercised power over U.S. foreign policy through its assets at the moment of the Kennedy assassination. His name is Michael J. P. Malone, and he enters the story as a vice-president of the Czarnikow-Rionda sugar brokerage based on Wall Street, and in Cuba. Before that, Malone had been the most favored of the personal assistants of the Archbishop of New York, Francis, Cardinal Spellman.
Cardinal Spellman was the recipient of multiple intelligence contacts and made himself available both to CIA and to the FBI, enlisting priests in Latin American countries as spies. As his biographer put it, Cardinal Spellman worked "as an agent of the United States government."
Michael J. P. Malone enters into my book The Great Game In Cuba as the right hand man of Robert J. Kleberg, Jr., president of King Ranch, the largest in the United States. Kleberg hired Malone to manage his ranch in Cuba, a satellite of King Ranch called Compania Ganadera Becerra. There he performed such functions as spiriting people out of prison and out of danger. Among those he rescued was CIA's David Atlee Phillips. Through one of his manifold contacts, Malone discovered that Castro had targeted Phillips. CIA then quickly moved him out of Cuba.
CIA had awarded Malone his own cryptonym, AMPATRIN. Malone was so close to the Agency that he mimicked them, creating his own code names for people: Robert J. Kleberg, Jr, whose identity had to be protected, was "Uncle." Fidel Castro was "Giant." Allen Dulles, who was very close to both Kleberg and Malone, was "the man with the pipe." Malone also awarded U.S. government agencies with their own codes: AID, high in CIA machinations, was 001.
My favorite scene in The Great Game In Cuba depicts a meeting between Malone and David Atlee Phillips. Malone's code name for Phillips was "my Chivas Regal friend," for the Scotch whiskey. You can see from the memorandum that Malone wrote of their meeting how CIA was conferring with its favored assets to determine U.S. foreign policy, to the chagrin of President Kennedy. The year was 1962. It had long been a distant remedy for CIA to abide by David Bruce's suggestion that it "confine itself to its mandate, the harder and more tedious work of collecting intelligence."
Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. sheltered under the radar of notoriety. It was Malone who lobbied CIA officials to come up with policies acceptable to defense contractors, industrialists, and figures highly placed in American business. Malone and Kleberg in their conversations had no respect for the President, either for his power or for his abilities. They sometimes called John F. Kennedy "Little Boy Blue," someone child-like, naïve and way out of his depth.
Indeed President Kennedy knew that the Agency was his enemy, but obviously he did not realize that this was a mortal enemy. He sent Richard Goodwin down to the Caribbean to ask INTERPEN, Gerald Patrick Hemming and his associates, to take control of RADIO SWAN, a CIA communications entity created by David Atlee Phillips. Hemming, to Howard K. Davis's surprise, turned him down. The loyalty of these people was to CIA and not to the President. (My source was not Hemming, with whom I spent many hours he didn't mention it but Howard K. Davis, who disagreed with Hemming's decision).
When Michael J. P. Malone met with David Atlee Phillips on March 30, 1962, among the topics on the agenda was whether Kennedy would commit troops to another invasion of Cuba. Two weeks earlier, on March 15th, Kleberg had summoned Lyndon Johnson to King Ranch. Kleberg despised Lyndon Johnson for good reasons which you can read about in The Great Game In Cuba. Still, Kleberg needed information now and so he brought Johnson to the ranch for a report on John F. Kennedy's intentions with respect to Cuba.
"Will Kennedy act against Castro and commit U.S. troops to Cuba?" Kleberg said.
Kennedy will not commit troops to Cuba, Johnson said. Kennedy's position had been set six months before he learned of the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba. He would not invade again.
Malone wanted to be certain and so he asked for Phillips' assessment of Johnson's claim that President Kennedy would not commit troops to another invasion of Cuba. In Malone's report, he writes: "If Little Boy Blue was confronted with a situation he would act with firmness despite Vietnam and Berlin." History suggests that Phillips was wrong about that. But CIA moved in its own realms.
At that meeting with Malone, Phillips praised the successor to Richard Bissell as DD/P, Deputy Director for Plans, "a very good man." This was Richard Helms, about whom we might disagree with Phillips. Both Phillips and another of Malone's CIA contacts, Raford Herbert, held out the hope, or so they said, that "an appropriate climate" would soon be created in Cuba "favorable to some type of activity to overthrow the Castro government."
The memorandum of this meeting is fascinating because we can see what CIA was really about, and that was protecting the interests and opportunities of American business in the countries of Latin America. Phillips remarked that nothing should be done for Brazil "until they are straightened out." The military was divided; CIA "hoped to get them together." Goulart was a "son of a gun." Indeed, when John F. Kennedy asked Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. to invite Goulart to King Ranch during a visit to the United States, Kleberg had no choice but to agree, but he absented himself from the ranch on that day.
Phillips remarked that the US must punish Argentina's Arturo Frondizi because he had voted against the exclusion of Cuba from the Organization of American States. His successor, Jose Maria Guido, who was backed by the military and supported armed action against Cuba, was more acceptable to CIA.
Military juntas were preferable to democratically elected presidents because they could be bribed into protecting the interests of American business. Operations against Cuba would go on, Phillips said, but they would have to take place from an off-shore area because of "security of the operation."
Malone's memos were copied to Frank O'Brien of the FBI's field office in New York. Malone operated as if the FBI and CIA were on the same team, a position that recalls the 1948 agreement that Frank Wisner, heading the clandestine services of that day, had forged. It was an agreement of "mutual cooperation" and was as old as the Agency itself. These documents have been released to the National Archives, but with Phillips' name redacted. Michael J. P. Malone's name appears on documents discussing the activities of Alexander Rorke, a solider of fortune involved in infiltrations of Cuba. He had been involved with Pedro Diaz Lanz, a crack Cuban aviator, and they were supplicants at Robert J. Kleberg's door. It was only after the FBI released Rorke files revealing that Malone was assisting him with plans and funds courtesy of CIA that CIA felt compelled to share the name "Michael J. P. Malone" with history.
Malone reappears in The Great Game In Cuba in the story of Gustavo de los Reyes, another Cuban who was the recipient of Robert J. Kleberg's support, and who died in March at the age of one hundred. When after four years he was released from Castro's prison on the Isle of Pines and came to the United States, de los Reyes was determined to write an article about his experiences. Michael J. P. Malone recommended Reader's Digest which my research revealed was accessible to CIA and under its control. CIA officers became the intermediaries between de los Reyes and Reader's Digest.
Among them was one Al Rodemeyer, who put Malone in touch with Ken Gilmore, the editor based in Washington, D.C. and was closest to the Agency. I learned that Reader's Digest had operated under the sway of CIA from the early days of the Agency when it printed disinformation on behalf of Operation GLADIO. From then on, Readers' Digest had enjoyed "most favored status" with CIA.
Malone arranged for de los Reyes to fly to Washington and in June 1964 Rodemeyer sent him a typewriter so he could write the article in his hotel room. Another CIA officer in on the project was Charles Matt.
Before it was over, de los Reyes had been subjected to the blue pencil of CIA censorship. CIA cut a passage in which de los Reyes described how the U.S. government had known that the prison on the Isle of Pines had been mined to blow up should there be another armed invasion of Cuba. (There's an echo here of the callousness of the U.S. government's abandonment of the sailors of the USS Liberty).
CIA censored several other passages. The Agency objected to de los Reyes' contrast between the "superior classes" who fled Cuba and the "humble classes without the means to escape," but who "had to remain in Cuba and fight."
These cuts suggested CIA was objecting to the implied criticism of its betrayal of people appalled by the Agency's hypocrisy and sabotage of their efforts. This is the central theme of The Great Game In Cuba, which reveals that CIA had far less interest in deposing Fidel Castro than its rhetoric implied.
De Los Reyes had met with Allen Dulles to ask for his help in the cattlemen's plot to overthrow Castro; CIA cut all references to this meeting, which had been described at length in the article. Dulles had revealed that he was willing to help de los Reyes only if CIA had control of the operation, and if de los Reyes accepted CIA money, something de los Reyes refused to do.
Kleberg himself was appalled when he learned how deeply CIA had censored the article. Then he told de los Reyes, "Let them do what they want because it's better to tell the public something of what is happening on the island than to tell them nothing." Kleberg sent Michael J. P. Malone to persuade de los Reyes to accept a compromise. "It's against my honor to accept this," de los Reyes said. "Everything in there is a lie." Then he signed an agreement, allowing Readers' Digest to publish the article.
As a key to understanding the Kennedy assassination, after the publication of A Farewell To Justice I had decided to write a book called "The Texas Robber Barons and CIA." Kleberg would have been a major figure in that story, along with Herman and George Brown. My research led to a document out of CIA's Office of Security that stated unequivocally that Herman and George Brown, as well as a long list of Brown & Root executives, were assets of CIA's clandestine services. I was able to show the connections of defense contractors with CIA........

I was able to show the connections of defense contractors with CIA........
Thanks, Tom.
Read and learn, Mr. Kaiser.
Oh, bytheway, Scott……….. when are all you SpyKids gonna get together and make a documentary of your experiences? Should be a real hum-dinger. Hope you don't
get Trine Day to sponsor you, though. I'd go with Skyhorse, they're a bit more…….. dignified.
