CIA Patsy Lee

Zios may call this anti-Semitic, but I prefer edgy sci-fi. 

The weekend my world changed, our teachers quit classes early, took us to church & all went home. I can still smell ink from newspapers I carried Saturday & saw a man killed in police custody on live TV Sunday. "They shot Oswald!" I yelled to my folks incredulously. 

President Kennedy, a US Navy WW2 combat veteran, saw urgent need to de-escalate arms & space races post Bay of Pigs & Cuban Missile Crisis, yet barking war hawks & racist religious bigots hated & defied him. JFK had many enemies. Texas oilmen felt ending oil depletion allowance subsidy would ruin their easy money. CIA director Allen Dulles was fired & the Agency faced break-up. Mob dons, betrayed by promise of leniency for help to win Illinois, failed to recover their Havana casinos. Pentagon brass were alarmed at peace overtures to USSR & plans to withdraw advisors from Vietnam. Israel was triggered when told to stop making nuclear weapons at the Negev Nuclear Research Center near Dimona. 

We The People learned more about the "lone nut gunman" & others in Dallas that day of infamy. Lee had a full bio for a short life. The product of a broken home & a troubled youth, he was photographed at 15 in the Civil Air Patrol with CIA pilot David Ferrie. At 16 he tried to enlist in the Marines & was in a year later. He got low marksman mark at 17, fluent in Russian, dosed in CIA LSD at Japan Atsugi naval air facility on U-2 spy plane & USSR duty. Guy Banister was his far right FBI handler in NOLA with other pacifists while in Fair Play for Cuba Committee, sharing same address. Lee left behind his wife Marina & 2 very young daughters June & Audrey.

Credible witnesses testified seeing Lee with a Coke sitting calmly in a 2nd floor lunchroom before & after President Kennedy passed by. A back door was often left unlocked so anyone in the building could leave unnoticed. He dreamt of working at NASA with former Riley Coffee coworkers, but fled on rumors he was set up as a fall guy. 

"On November 23, 1963—the day after the assassination when Oswald was in Dallas police custody—Jack Zangretti told friends that ...a man named Jack Ruby will kill Oswald tomorrow, and in a few days, a member of the Frank Sinatra family will be kidnapped just to take some of the attention away from the assassination. Jack Ruby did kill Oswald, and Frank Sinatra's son was kidnapped which made national headlines." - JFK: The Dead Witnesses by Craig Roberts & John Armstrong, 1995  

"Introduction 

Jim Marrs, author of Crossfire; The Plot That Killed Kennedy, wrote: In the three-year period which followed the murder of President Kennedy and Lee Harvey Oswald, 18 material witnesses died—six by gunfire, three in motor accidents, two by suicide, one from a cut throat, one from a karate chop to the neck, five from natural causes. In the time period ranging from November 22, 1963 to August, 1993, over 115 witnesses have died or fallen victim to death by strange circumstances, suicides or murder. This book relates not only the names of the dead, but gives brief biographies on what connection they had with the Kennedy assassination, what they may have known about the case, and the cause of death. The authors have not speculated upon any motives behind their deaths, other than dealing with the facts of each demise and what direct evidence the deceased might have been able to provide investigators and researchers."

CIA did lots of "wet work". In 1963, 1st Abdul Karim Qassem of Iraq, then Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. Poppy Bush said he didn't know where he was when JFK died, but we do. GHWB, RMN & LBJ were in Dallas on the eve, along with J. Edgar Hoover, Clyde Tolson, oilmen Clint Murchison & H.L. Hunt, Dallas Mayor Earl Cabell, Fort Worth Star-Telegram publisher Amon G. Carter, AP reporter Lex Dale Owens & Billie Sol Estes. Allegedly, Allen Dulles, Gerald Ford & Jack Ruby attended too. LBJ said to his lover Madeleine Duncan Brown, “After tomorrow, those [Kennedy] SOB’s will never embarrass me again. That's not a threat but a promise.” 

Reportedly, the KGB & French secret service fingered LBJ as likely behind JFK's murder. Cronies Bobby Baker & Billie Sol Estes faced fraud charges so he might be dropped from the '64 ticket. Some said he micromanaged details of the motorcade. He insisted on the Trade Mart & wanted his pal Connally to swap seats with foe Don Yarborough. 4 days later, Johnson approved NSAM [National Security Action Memorandum] 273, reaffirming US commitment to Vietnam. Ettu, Lyndon? 

Who ordered Secret Service agents off the limousine at Love Field? Others linked to the plot were Edward Clark, Clay Shaw, Guy Banister, Cord Meyer, Frank Sturgis, E. Howard Hunt, Chauncey Holt, Antonio Veciana, William Harvey, Dan Carswell, Fred Lee Chapman, David Phillips, David Morales, Santo Trafficante, Carlos Marcello, Chuck Nicoletti, Sam Giancana, Johnny Roselli, William Pawley & some Cuban exiles. A CIA plot to kill Fidel Castro by mobsters Operation Mongoose was used on Kennedy & pinned on Lee. It's said Roselli shot JFK from a storm drain on Elm St. 

On a lighter note, Gilligan's Island & Doctor Who were delayed that day. 411 Elm St. was Barney Fife's home address on The Andy Griffith Show, same as the TSBD. Aldous Huxley & C.S. Lewis also died 11/22/1963. 

At 1:45 pm they had their man, 24-y-o Marxist ex-US Marine, ex-ex-patriot Lee. "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Got Him." Trust US to do Right, while our nation is in grave danger from evil communists. Meanwhile, agents sped to fix inconvenient details. A 30.06 Mauser found near a 6th floor "sniper's nest" was swapped for a Mannlicher-Carcano 6.5mm & Lee's corpse palm print planted on it. JFK's limousine got rebuilt & fortified for service to '77. 

Johnson, Dulles & Hoover wanted Oswald blamed period. A 3-shot tale was made up to account for the damage, but a bystander hit by ricochet debris made it hard. Luckily, Arlen Specter got a "magic bullet theory" to explain away all of the wounds of the victims. 

Jacob Rubenstein, aka Jack Ruby, two-bit gangster, trafficker in women, guns & drugs, allegedly yelled as he shot Lee, "You rat son of a bitch, you killed my president!" A detective said, “Jack, you son of a bitch!” It's been said that he feared Jews might be blamed for Kennedy's murder. Later, Ruby claimed he did it to spare the First Lady the ordeal of a trial. 

Abraham Zapruder's video caused quite a stir when shown in 1975 on live TV by Geraldo Rivera & people saw President Kennedy's head blown apart & driven backward. Also in 1975, Senate hearings focused on CIA crimes, mostly privately, & L. Fletcher Prouty, who said he was chief liaison officer between the CIA & the Pentagon, published The Guns of Dallas. In 1978, House hearings uncovered ample evidence of a conspiracy to murder the President, but the CIA successfully branded it all "conspiracy theories". 

In 1998 a TSBD "sniper's nest" fingerprint was IDed as belonging to LBJ's #1 hitman Malcolm "Mac" Wallace. 

George de Mohrenschildt had some outré links. Young Jackie Kennedy née Bouvier often sat on "Uncle George's" knee. He befriended oilmen H.L. Hunt & Clint Murchison, working for Clint as a petroleum geologist. He met Lee & Marina in summer 1962 & tried to help them out. Oddly, he was accused of being Oswald's CIA & KGB handler. Later, he often lunched with Allen Dulles during the Warren Commission hearings. He wrote to GHWB for aid but got none; 6 months later, he shot himself dead.

In February 1976, soon after reading The Guns of Dallas, I visited Dealey Plaza & found it tinier than expected, a mere minute's walk end-to-end. If I'd known about it, I'd've visited the Sixth Floor Museum there. 

After 60+ years, New York Times said 4,684 documents remain hidden for "national security" reasons. Seems as if Lee had more tails than a herd of cats at a rocking chair rodeo: FBI, CIA, DIA, ONI, that buried their biggest secrets forever, still fooling US by pretending to serve the President, while doing the bidding of a ZOG COG elite cabal of insiders who hold real reins of power. Like ufos & 9/11, even presidents lack need-to-know access. 

In 2023, retired Secret Service agent Paul Landis said he found the so-called "magic bullet" on the limousine's back seat. I guess it magically bounced there. He put it on the President's hospital gurney. Landis also said he was sprayed by blood & brain matter & deeply traumatized. Are myths of the "magic bullet" now finished? I won't bet on it yet.
