Command and Personnel of the Kennedy Assassination

Perminex (The Israeli connection)

Permindex - Permindex was a trade organization founded by Giorgio Mantello, who had helped smuggle Jewish refugees into Palestine during the war. Mantello's partner in the leadership of Permindex was Ferenc Nagy. Ferenc Nagy was a former Prime Minister of Hungary, and an asset of CIA Deputy Director of Plans, Frank Wisner. Nagy was living in Dallas at the time of the assassination, and is photographed there numerous times. (A Farewell to Justice – Jim Garrison) Permindex' general secretary, Bela Kovacs, was also a CIA asset, who had been charged by the Soviets as a spy for Western Intelligence. Permindex was partly funded by billionaire Yahuda Assia who also helped fund the Dimona Nuclear Reactor. Permindex' primary share holder was Banque De Credit International, founded by Tibor Rosenbaum. Tibor Rosenbaum was a money launderer and arms procurement officer for the Mossad, and would go on to be their general financier director. It was through BCI that Israel's initial financial dealing would be done. BCI was also the chief European money laundry for Myer Lansky. (Final Judgement) On the board of Permindex were Moe Dalitz, who ran liquor in the 1920s for Samuel Bronfman; Prince Guterez di Spadefora, a former under secretary for Mussolini; and most notably, CIA contract agent, Clay Shaw. 

Clay Shaw - Clay Shaw was responsible for stockpiling weapons for the Normandy invasion. He had also helped found the International Trade Mart in New Orleans, exposed as a CIA front by Italian newspaper Paesa Sera. Jim Garrison began his investigation with the testimony of lawyer Dean Andrews, who told the warren commission that someone called "Clay Bertrand" had urged him to represent Lee Harvey Oswald. Garrison also interviewed Perry Russo, a friend of David Ferrie, who, while under truth serum, described a party at which the assassination of Kennedy was discussed. Those present were Ferrie, Lee Harvey Oswald, a bunch of Cuban exiles, and Clay Shaw, under the gay cryptonym Clay Bertrand. After asking around the New Orleans French Quarter, Garrison's staff later discovered Clay Shaw was known as "Clay Bertrand". Clay Shaw would later be tried for conspiracy in the murder of JFK. Shaw had previously denied being Clay Bertrand to Jim Garrison, however admitted to the alias while being booked, although technically this was not admissible in court. Likewise, Shaw denied having ever worked for the CIA, but a CIA document states that Hunter Leake was the agency's contact with Clay Shaw and that “Shaw was an official source contacted on 30 occasions between 1949 and 1956.” (𓃠) 

Clay Shaw held the position of lord executioner in the society of sadists and masochists, and his former house keeper spoke of the death of a man in his house. There had been no police investigation, but a coroner had come to pick up the body. When the police searched Shaw's house following the garrison investigation, they found whips, chains, executioners hoods, and a room with wrist shackles hanging from the ceiling.

In 1962, Swiss authorities would dissolve their branch of Permindex after proving the firm delivered 200,000 to the OAS, the group responsible for the assassination attempt on French president Charles de Gaul. In Les Echos newspaper, de Gaul named Permindex as having been involved in the attempt on his life. Guy Banister operative Tommy Baumler commented to Jim Garrison that those who killed JFK were those who wanted to kill de Gaul.

CMC - Permindex had a subsidiary called Centro Mondiale Commerciale, which was incorporated in Italy but really ran out of Montreal by Louis M. Bloomfield. Louis Bloomfield was a Canadian lawyer who served in Palestine as an Intelligence Officer for the British, and was involved in training the Jewish militia, Haganah. Later he would be recruited into the OSS, and would continue doing contract work for them when they became the CIA. He was a regular visitor to Israel and met the Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, in 1949. In 1959, Bloomfield was responsible for incorporating Tricontinental pipeline ltd. in Canada, a corporation granted by Israel 49 years exclusivity on the use of a 16 inch pipeline between the Red Sea and Haifa Port in the Mediterranean Sea. Through the Canadian corporation, Tricontinental pipeline was able to pay taxes that otherwise would have been paid to the state of Israel. CMC did not own businesses, but functioned as a money funneling mechanism. All they did was invest in various stocks that they held a portfolio of. But really they were companies they were funding on the back end to gain nuclear supplies for Israel's Dimona project. Looking at the files of David Ferrie, Clay Shaw and Sergio Arcacha Smith reveal that all three were flying up and back from Montreal.

After the arrest of Clay Shaw, Italian newspaper Paesa Sera published an article exposing Permindex as a CIA front company for influencing European electoral politics, channeling money into not only legal political parties, but also right wing terrorist groups such as the OAS. CMC’s directors included, Clay Shaw, Moe Dalitz, Joe Bonano, Cuban ex president Carlos Prío Socarrás, the son of Hitler's finance minister, Hjalmar Schacht, the lawyer of the Italian royal family and secretary of the Italian fascist party, the editor of the neo nazi National Zeitung of Germany. (Michael newton – Mr. mob)

Adam Consolidated was the weapons company which imported the Carcano rifle located in the Texas School Book Depository. It's owner was acknowlleged CIA agent, Samuel Cummings. Samuel Cummings had a close associate named Enrico Frittoli, who sat on the board of directors of Permindex. (CMC - Michel Metta) Schlumberger itself was run by Jean de Menil, who was also on the board of Pemindex; Menil was also a close associate of George de Mohrenschildt.

James Angleton - Zionist James Angleton was chief of counterintelligence at the time of the assassination. He was also the head of the CIA's Israel office, and a liaison to the Mossad. In 1956, CIA deputy director Robert Amery named Angleton to be a coopted Israeli agent. (𓃠) He also directed CIA assistance to Israel's nuclear program. Only twice in history has Israel given memorial services to foreigners, attended to by heads of Shin Bet and Mossad. One was for the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who narced Mordechai Vanunu to the Mossad for exposing Israel's nuclear capacity; the other was for James Angleton. There is also a forest named after him in Israel. Journalist Joe Trento revealed in the Sunday news journal, that in the 70s Angleton leaked a secret memo he had written himself about the presence of CIA agent E Howard Hunt in Dallas on the day of the assassination. (𓃠) Although Hunt was involved, this steered thought away from Israel and further towards the CIA. Declassified documents reveal that Jewish Spy Reuben Ephron was directed by James Angleton to open Oswald's mail numerous times on an ongoing basis. (𓃠) 

According to former CIA station chief Rolf Mowatt-Larssen, James Angleton commented to Seymour Hersh: “I’m not privy to who struck John” (𓃠)

Yitzak Shamir - According to former French intelligence officer Pierre Neuville, a French team of professional assassins were among the shooters at the behest of the Mossad. Apparently the Mossad's then assassination chief Yitzhak Shamir, later president of Israel, arranged the hiring of at least one of the assassins through the deputy chief of French intelligence, Colonel Georges de Lannurien. "It was no coincidence," Neuville wrote, "that on the very day of the execution of the president by the French team that [de Lannurien] was at Langley meeting with James Jesus Angleton, the Mossad mole..." (𓃠) Interestingly, the Mossad and Shamir's own daughter confirmed that he was stationed in Paris during his tenure as director of assassinations. (𓃠)

Yitzak Rabin - Similarly, the leader of Israel's operations directorate, and future Israeli president, Yitzak Rabin was in Dallas on the day of the assassination. According to his widow, Rabin was allegedly on a military briefing tour. (𓃠) True to her words, Rabin was logged into the air force base just outside of Dallas, flying in the night before. Two weeks after the assassination, Rabin was promoted to chief of staff of the Israeli military. A man resembling him can be seen in the Dallas Morning News building with Jack Ruby. 

The Dallas Citizens Council

JFK's trip to Dallas was sponsored by the Dallas Citizens Council, directed by Julius Schepps, a member of the local B'nai B'rith. The host committee inviting Kennedy was chaired Sam Bloom. (𓃠) On the day of the assassination, there was a confrontation between Bloom and Jerry Bruno, JFK's veteran advance man, over the president's motorcade route. Bruno wanted the president to speak at the Women's Building, but Bloom insisted JFK speak at the Trade Mart. According to former British intelligence officer Colonel John Hughes-Wilson, it was also Sam Bloom who invited Kennedy to Dallas who suggested that the police make Oswald Accessible to the press. He also suggested against the explicit advice of the local FBI, that they move the alleged assassin from the Dallas police station to the Dallas county jail, in order to give the news men a good story in pictures. It was during this transfer that Oswald was shot by Ruby. When the police later searched Ruby's room, they found a slip of paper with Bloom's address and telephone number on it. (𓃠)

Abraham Zapruder, who filmed the assassination was also a member of the Dallas citizens council and B'nai B'rith. As a manufacturer, his office was headquartered on the fourth floor of the Del-Tex building. We know shots came from the Dal-Tex because one of them missed, hitting the curb, causing debris to strike James Tague near the triple underpass. The Del-Tex building itself was co-owned by Sam Bloom and David Weisblat, one of the biggest financiers of the ADL, (𓃠) and Morris Jaffe, one of the biggest donors to LBJ. (𓃠) 

Homer Echevarria was a Cuban exile gun runner, who unwittingly talked to an FBI informant a few days before the assassination. He said: "We now have plenty of money; our new backers are Jews, as soon as we or they take care of Kennedy."

Similar statements were made by Jack Ruby, which we will get to later, along with his connections to the Mossad.

Mafia Elements

Attorney Frank Ragano claimed that Jimmy Hoffa asked mob bosses Santo Trafficante Jr. and Carlos Marcello to arrange the assassination of JFK, with himself delivering the message. Ragano stated that Trafficante confessed before his death, expressing regret that they killed John instead of Bobby. An FBI informant named Joseph Hauser got Marcello to admit to having known both Murret and Oswald. The FBI also used an inmate named Jack Van Laningham, who was being used in another surveillance operation against Marcello to admit to having Kennedy killed. This confession was reportedly obtained through a secret FBI operation called CAMTEX, which involved recording conversations between Marcello and Van Laningham.

Before his death, Sam Giancana explained: “The politicians and the CIA made it real simple... We’d each provide men for the hit. I’d oversee the Outfit [Mafia] side of things and throw in Jack Ruby and some extra backup and the CIA would put their own guys on to take care of the rest”. (𓃠) 

The Tramps - The Three Tramps were arrested from the rail yard after the assassination, and taken to the Dallas Jail House. They were about to get a gun powder test, but were let go after Oswald was arrested. 

The Middle tramp is Danny "The Irishman" Greene, head of the long Shoreman's union in Cleveland. Danny Greene trained snipers in the marines, and went to the same high school in David Ferrie. Behind him is fellow Cleveland mobster, Leo "Lips" Moceri. Statements by Chauncey Holt claim that he drove in with Moceri to Dallas that morning, with Charlie Nicoletti and James Canty. Holt stated they were tasked with delivering forged documents to Charles Harrolson and Charles Rogers, and that they were informed an “incident” would occur that could be blamed on pro-Castro Cubans. Charles Harrolson is Woody Harrolson's dad by the way.

Marvin Weiss, the officer escorting the tramps clearly has a wire in his ear, although he claimed was a wad of cotton.

Dave Yaras - Dave Yaras was a Chicago hitman for Sam Giancana and had helped establish Teamster Local 320 in Miami for Jimmy Hoffa. The night before the assassination, Yaras telephoned Robert Bernard baker. A few days Earlier, Jack Ruby also received a 17 minute call from Baker. Yaras was interviewed by the FBI and admitted he had known Jack Ruby for about 15 years in Chicago. Dave Yaras and Lenny Patrick were staying next to the Carousel Club in a property owned by Bartha Cheek. They were using the aliases Isadore Leon Miller and Max Miller. David Leon Millar and Max Miller were brothers. David Leon was hooked up with Margarite Miller, formerly Margarite Click, related to Bernese Click. He also used the name Murry Miller at the Cabana the night before. Murry miller was a higher up in the teamsters, but there are no pictures of Murry Miller, because he is Dave Yaras.

FBI

It's also worth taking into account the FBI under J. Edgar Hoover. They called him J. Edgar Hoover, but they should have called him J. Edger Gooner, on account of he was banging deputy director Clyde Tolson, and liked wearing women's dresses on the side, both instanced of which Myer Lansky possessed photo evidence of. Consequently, Hoover wouldn't even admit to the existence of an American Mafia.

ZR/RIFLE (The French Connection)

In 1961, CIA officer Bill Harvey was ordered to activate an assassination plot against Fidel Castro, code named: ZR/RIFLE. Harvey decided to transfer David Morales from Mexico City to the JM/WAVE station in Florida. Gangsters Sam Giancana, Santos Trafficante, Myer Lansky and Johnny Roselli were also recruited into the project.

But as a result of President Kennedy's promise to Nikita Khrushchev that he would not invade Cuba RFK terminated "all sabotage operations" against Cuba. This didn't stop Harvey from sending ten operatives into Cuba to gather intelligence in preparation for an invasion, which resulted in him being reassigned to Rome by Bobby Kennedy. Bill Harvey is quoted yelling to Bobby Kennedy: "If you fuckers hadn't fucked up the Bay of Pigs, we wouldn't be in this fucking mess." 

If you recall from earlier, Pierre Neuville wrote that a French team of assassins were among the shooters at the behest of the Mossad. This is interesting, because Bill Harvey had a history with the Corsican Mafia. In his biography of Harvey, former CIA officer Bayard Stockton wrote that Harvey recommended Corsicans for use in the ZR/RIFLE program, writing in a memo, Harvey wrote, “Corsicans recommended. Sicilians could lead to Mafia.” In her book “ZR Rifle”, Claudia Furiati wrote, “It was learned that during 1961, Harvey traveled to Marseille in France and recruited another agent code named QJ/WIN) who worked on the Lumumba case. WIN appears in the House Committee investigations as one of the men from the Corse Union, an organized crime group in Marseille. QJ/WIN met the indispensable requirement of being a Mafioso of non-U.S. origin.” 

Lucien Sarti - Christian David, the leader of the Corsican network in South America confessed information to Journalist Stephen Rivele in exchange for a deal with the U.S. government to block his extradition to France. David claimed that Kennedy's assassination had been organized by Antoine Guerini, the Corsican crime boss in Marseilles. David turned down the contract, which was accepted by French assassin Lucien Sarti and two other members of the Marseilles mob. 

Jean Souetre - Jean Souetre AKA Michel Mertz, was a member of the French OAS, involved in the assassination attempt on General Charles de Gaulle. As a result of investigations carried out by Mary Ferrell and Gary Shaw it was revealed that Souetre was arrested in Dallas on the day of the assassination and immediately expelled from the United States.

Jean Pierre LaFitte - Jean Pierre LaFitte was a conman employed by intelligence agencies for his ability to forge, network, and play act. Researcher Hank Albarelli contacted LaFitte's family, who provided him with an old diary, which if to be believed suggests that James Angleton worked with Otto Skorzeny in an operation code named Lancelot to assassinate Kennedy.

Otto Skorzeny - Otto Skorzeny was Hitler's top bodyguard. After the war he worked for the CIA, training Spanish military with US covert support. In 1964 he became a hitman for the Mossad, assassinating German nuclear scientists employed by Egypt. (𓃠) 

David Morales - In 1973, David Morales, who was recruited for ZR/RIFLE, went on a drunken tirade with friends Ruben Carbajal and Robert Walton. Carbajal relayed that Morales believed Kennedy was the only one responsible for his being forced to watch the men he had recruited slaughtered before his eyes. According to Carbajal, Morales made the statement: "well we took care of that son of a bitch, didn’t we?" Walton, on a separate occasion, paraphrased another of Morales as saying: “I was in Dallas when we got that motherfucker, and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard." (RFK Must Die) Morales would die of a heart attack in 1978, weeks before he was to be called before the HSCA.

E. Howard Hunt - On his deathbed, E. Howard Hunt named those involved in the assassination including Bill Harvey, and David Morales. leading on from Morales were the words “French Gunman Grassy Knoll”.

Johnny Roselli - Johnny Roselli would eventually be charged for illegal gambling in Las Vegas. In an attempt to obtain a more lenient sentence, Roselli tried to offer information to the court about his role in ZR/RIFLE. Roselli was eventually released in 1973. In 1975 Roselli claim to Frank Church of the Select Committee on Intelligence Activities, that a CIA hit team meant for Cuba had been used to kill Kennedy. Soon afterwards Fred Black phoned Roselli to want him that Santos Trafficante had put a hit out on him, and in 1976, Roselli would be found chopped up in an oil drum floating off the coast of Florida.

Cuban Elements

Frank Sturgis was a member of Operation 40, a CIA sponsored counterintelligence group composed primarily of Cuban exiles. (𓃠) There are numerous members of this group suspected of involvement in the JFK hit. Frank Sturgis's name was mentioned in E. Howard Hunt's confession. His name was also found Lee Harvey Oswald's Address Book, under his real name Frank Fiorini. (𓃠) Otto Skorzeny identified the knoll shooter as having used the alias "Max". The ZR/RIFLE files reveal that max was used to refer to Frank Sturgis by Santos Trafficante.

According to CIA spy Marita Lorenz, who had an affair with Castro, a group including Sturgis, and fellow Op 40 members Orlando Bosch, Ignacio Novo, and pilot Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz travelled to Dallas. She also claimed that he was at a motel in Dallas when Kennedy's murder was planned. When the group arrived at the Hotel, Marita reported that E. Howard Hunt paid Sturgis with cash stuffed in an envelope. After pressing Sturgis on the nature of the visit, Marita was told that this one time it had to be confidential. (𓃠)

Lorenz would go on to testify about the assassination, stating that she was involved with a group of anti-Cuban militants, including Frank Sturgis and E. Howard Hunt. (𓃠) In 1977, Sturgis was arrested by Detective Jim Rothstein for attempting to murder Marita for standing trial. (𓃠) While Sturgis was being held, Rothstein claims he confessed to having been one of the shooters on the grassy knoll along with E. Howard Hunt. (𓃠) In 1971 Frank Sturgis wrote a 22 page confession to Cardinal Terence Cooke detailing crimes he had committed on behalf of the government, including being one of the assassins on the grassy knoll, with E. Howard Hunt as his spotter and paymaster. He also claimed that fellow Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy was the person who shot and killed police officer J.D. Tippet, the man allegedly shot by Lee Harvey Oswald, and who's death gave the police a reason to arrest him. (𓃠) 

I doubt this, as should be made apparent later on. What's more likely is that the presence of additional hitmen such as Sturgis or Sarti served to muddy the waters for future researchers into the case.

Herminio Diaz Garcia - Herminio Diaz Garcia was a member of Op 40 and a bodyguard for Cuban mob boss Santos Trafficante. After his death, a friend of his also testified to his involvement in the JFK hit. (𓃠)

Tony Cuesta - In 1978 President Jimmy Carter arranged for a group of imprisoned exiles in Cuba to be released. This included Tony Cuesta who was involved in an attack on Cuba in 1966. Just before leaving Cuba Cuesta asked to see Fabian Escalante. Cuesta told Escalante that he had been involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. He also named Diaz Garcia and Eladio del Valle as being involved in the conspiracy. Cuesta asked Escalante not to make this information "made public because I am returning to my family in Miami - and this could be very dangerous." 

Sergio Arcacha-Smith and Emilio Santana - Rose Cheramie was a stripper and drug mule who worked for Jack Ruby and Carlos Marcello. (Mary Ferrell Foundation, Rose Cheremie, Foreknowledge of the Assassination, maryferrell.org) On March 13th 1967 she was en route from Florida to Dallas with two men. Along the way, the three would stop at the silver slipper lounge, where after an altercation, Rose would be roughed up and kickout out by the owner, stumbling out onto the road and being struck by a car.  Rose would be temporally held in a jail cell by Lt. Francis Fruge, before being moved to the Jackson State Hospital

According to Fruge, Rose was en route to to Houston, where a room had been reserved for her. There she would meat a seaman who would give her ten kilos of heroin to take to Dallas in exchange for the release of her kidnapped son. During the trip to Jackson, Rose allegedly stated to Fruge, "we're gonna kill President Kennedy when we comes to Dallas in a few days" (Interview of Francis Fruge, HSCA Interview by Robert Buras, April 7, 1978, theblackvault.com) This was also repeated at the Jackson Hospital, which was heard by resident physician, Victor Weiss. HSCA, Volume X pgs. 199-204. According to Fruge, Rose was en route to to Houston, where a room had been reserved for her. There she would meat a seaman who would give her ten kilos of heroin to take to Dallas in exchange for the release of her kidnapped son. Cheramie was found dead close to a highway near Big Sandy in 1965. She had been run over by a car. 

Fruge would later help Jim Garrison with his investigation into Clay Shaw, locating Mac Manuel, the owner of the Silver Slipper Lounge in 1963. Upon reviewing several photographs displayed by Fruge, Manuel identified the two men he had seen that night as Sergio Arcacha Smith, and Emilio Santana. (CIA Internal Memo, Garrison investigation of Kennedy Assassination: Allegations of Involvement, CIA and Cuban, February 28, 1968, archives.gov) Santana was recruited by the CIA’s JMWAVE for infiltrations into Cuba and he knew the real names of 8 CIA staff members and 14 other agents. This will be very important in context to the CIA’s JMWAVE. FBI report says he is alleged to have owned a Carcano rifle like Oswald.

Sergio Arcacha-Smith served as Cuba's consul in India under Batista. After Fidel Castro gained power Arcacha-Smith went into exile. While living in New Orleans he joined with David Ferrie to establish the Cuban Democratic Liberation Front, and became head of the New Orleans chapter of the Friends of Democratic Cuba. In December 1960, Arcacha-Smith opened an office in the Balter Building at 403 Camp Street, Room 207. This was the building which housed the office of Guy Banister. 

But who is the painted eye browed pedophile who keeps turning up throughout the story. Well...

David Ferrie

David Ferrie was a pilot for the federal Civil Air Patrol, with ties to Clay Shaw, Lee Harvey Oswald, and other characters implicated in the conspiracy to kill Kennedy. Ferrie would employ theatrical hair to account for his lack baldness and lack of eyebrows. He is alleged to have had alopecia, although no one else in his family had the genetic condition. It's more likely that his loss of hair was the result of him being a test pilot for the U-2 program launched in 1954. Like Ferrie, early U2 test pilots in China are reported to have suffered severe hair loss, due to the pressurization of the suits involved. (FBI File Doc ID 32263970, David Ferrie's web of intrigue, archives.gov)

David Ferrie was a Pilot for Eastern Airlines from from 51 to 63, when he was brought before the disciplinary board for failing to have informed them of his prior Emotional difficulties. Emotional difficulties being a euphemism for homosexuality and possible child molestation. It was for these reasons also that Ferrie had been kicked out of St. Charles Seminary, when he was training to become a priest. The case which got Ferrie fired was a criminal case filed against him for his misconduct with a 15 year old boy, Alex Landry. Ferrie was represented in this case by G. Wray Gill, the primary lawyer of New Orleans mob figure, Carlos Marcello. (FBI file doc ID 32263970, David Ferrie, Pg. 45, archives.gov) 

In the 50s, Ferrie had worked for the Civil Air Patrol, where he can be seen photographed with Lee Harvey Oswald. Also training in this unit was Barry Seal of Iran-Contra fame.

In 1961, he was running an unauthorized branch of the CAP called the Metairie Falcon Squadron, which had started using a forged charter. Landry was one of his new recruits. Michael Crouchet was a witness to the affair. After the charges were brought, Ferrie and Sergio Arcarcha smith visited him at his workplace, threatening him to retract his statements to the police, else he be paid a visit by his Cuban Friend. (Archacha Smith) This was reported back to the police, which brought more heat down on Ferrie (N.O. DA Document H-8597, August 24, 1961)

Al Landry testified to Jim Garrison that Ferrie had told him he worked for the CIA on flight missions to rescue anti Castro Cubans from Castro's jails. He showed Landry a 15-inch scar which he had sustained after being stabbed during one of these missions. Landry also told Garrison that him and Ferrie had spent time at Sergio Arcacha Smith's house, where they would watch bay of pigs footage.

Venice airport - A memo obtained by Garrison told of a university professor who wrote a doctoral thesis on an abortive anti Batista mission in 1947. This thesis incidentally revealed that Clay Shaw had leased an airport in Venice, Florida, with one of the pilots for the mission being reportedly David Ferrie. Venice Florida is known to have been home to an airport used by Muhamad Atta and the other 9/11 hijackers. It is generally believed to have been CIA run.

Association with Clay Shaw and Oswald

There is witness evidence that David Ferrie knew both Clay Shaw and Lee Harvey Oswald. June Rolfe told Jim Garrison that she had seen Ferrie and Shaw together in a light-colored Thunderbird Convertible in 1960, which Shaw did in fact own from 59 to 64.

Henry Lesnick reported having a friend who admitted to being Clay Shaw's lover, and that David Ferrie was Shaw's lover as well.

Ferrie was also seen getting off of an airplane by his friends, the Tadins.

Garrison discovered that the name and number of a man identified as W. Robert Morgan was located in Shaw's notebook. This number was also in David Ferrie's call history. Just underneath Morgan's number in Clay Shaw's phone book was the number of Layton Martens, one of the boys who Ferrie took on his alleged trip to Houston on the day of the assassination.

A Garrison investigator interviewed the Murrett side of Oswald's family, discovering that a few days after he had left New Orleans, a man later identified by the witness as Shaw had turned up at the Murret home, looking for Oswald. Herbert Wagner and Jim Louviere had seen them together at Ferrie's service station in 1964; William Dunn, Henry Earl Palmer, Corey Collins, and Town Marshal John Manchester, observed the pair, allegedly with Lee Harvey Oswald in a grey Plymouth when they made their trip to the Clinton voter registration office.

The most significant witness is Perry Russo, who testified before the Clay Shaw grand jury that he had seen Oswald at a party with Ferrie, Shaw, and a bunch of Cubans. Ferrie had an inch thick collection of newspaper clippings about Kennedy, and was pacing around the room describing a plan to assassinate him. (Garrison papers, Perry Russo 01) Russo recalled Ferrie taking about triangulation between shooters, the need for a patsy, and that perhaps there would be a diversionary shot, with the other two shooting for the kill. Russo also mentioned that Ferrie had suggested the use of alibi's for where potential shooters were at the time of the assassination. (Testimony of Perry Russo, Trial of Clay Shaw February 10, 1969, Pg 50, aarclibrary.org) When Garrison questioned Ferrie about this, does not deny the incident, but generalizes it as an off hand remark along the lines of "He ought to be shot".

More blatant ties to the assassination

The Rifles - In 1961, David Ferrie took part in the burgary of the munitions depot of the Schlumberger Well Drilling Corp in Louisiana, along with Sergio Arcacha Smith, Gordon Novel and Layton Martens, who would eventually be charged by Jim Garrison years later. A CIA internal memo re Garrison's investigation reveals that the New Orleans office of the DCS had one contact with Charles A. Doh, manager of the Schlumberger office in New Orleans. Novel stated that the burglary itself was done at the behest of the CIA, for the sake of funneling the weapons and ammo to anti-Castro Cubans. Gordon Novel implied that the arms were sold to Inter-Armco. (Harold Weisberg files: Arms - CIA - French Secret Service) Inter-Armco was an agent for Samuel Cummings, (How an ex-Nazi arms dealer sold fighters to India and Pakistan during an arms embargo - Saurabh Joshi) who besides being an acknowledged CIA agent, was also the owner of Adam Consolidated. Adams Consolidated was the weapons company which imported the Carcano rifle located in the Texas School Book Depository. Cummings also had a close associate named Enrico Frittoli, who sat on the board of directors of Permindex. (CMC - Michel Metta) Schlumberger itself was run by Jean de Menil, who was also on the board of Pemindex; Menil was also a close associate of George de Mohrenschildt.

Hoffa bodyguard Frank Sheeran, recalls in his autobiography, being ordered by Tony Pro to deliver a duffle bag full of rifles to David Ferrie, who is described as a pilot for Carlos Marcello. It was in the parking lot of crescent firearms where Frank picked up the rifles. Crescent was the supplier of the Carcano linked to Oswald. (I Heard You Paint Houses, pg. 163) 

 At the time of the assassination, Ferrie has been working as an investigator for G. Wray Gill, Carlos Marcello's main attorney. Gill had also represented Ferrie during his misconduct case. (FBI document presented in the Weisberg files labeled Gill G Wray 01)

After a tip from fellow investigator, Jack Martin, Jim Garrison would interview Ferrie as a suspect in the JFK hit. It was Martin's belief that Ferrie was the getaway pilot for Kennedy's assassin, and that he had hypnotized Lee Harvey Oswald into complicity. This wouldn't be surprising, as Ferrie allegedly used drug induced hypnosis to coerce boys in his immirality case.

Scrap Paper - Elise dean clays told garrison that prior to the assassination he was having G. Wray Gill do legal work for her. The day after Kennedys death, she saw two female employees cleaning out ferries desk. She saw a chart sketch with "Elm" written on it on what appeared to be a street, next to which was a square representing a building with "VIP" written on it. She stated that it should be turned over to the FBI. The receptionist remarked that it was nothing and threw it in the trash. After retrieving it, the receptionist took it from her and threw it in the trash.

Alice Guidroz, secretary for G. Wray Gill claims that Ferrie was present in Gill's office and the day of the assassination, and that he had left for lunch telling her he would be back. According to Guidroz, Ferrie never returned. (HSCA Volume 10, AC 12, Ferrie, aarclibrary.org).

A witness named Velma was parked behind the TSBD at the time of the assassination. She recalled to the Coast2coast radio show in 2006, having seen a shooter with a high powered rifle. This man was described as having "real heavy eyebrows" and wearing a black felt. After being instructed by who she believes to have been J.D. Tippit, he then drove off in a grey Plymouth. Velma claims the reason she didn't speak at the time is because she had kids and she "didn't want to get shot."

This man was also seen by Ed Hoffman who described seeing two men, one of which had a black hat and a blue jacket, who fired a rifle over the picket fence. Hoffman then observed him walk towards the rail road yard and toss the rifle to a man dressed as a railroad worker, who broke it down putting it in a tool box. According to Hoffman, the man in the hat walked along a path in the direction of the pergola, where he is caught on camera, then back into the direction of the rail road yard, where he is again photographed. (The Men Who Killed Kennedy)

A shooter from the pergola was also spotted above Abraham Zapruder by an unnamed fourteen year old witness who spoke to the FBI. (Penn Jones, forgive my grief IV, page 98).

Witnesses to the Tippit shooting - Then we have the Tippit shooting. The official story tells us that Oswald was dropped off by Taxi at his house at 1:00 pm, then walked to 10th and Patton to shoot Tippit at 1:16. For the timeline to make sense, Oswald would have had to have walked 8 miles in 16 minutes. This would have been impossible by foot but just about possible by car. 

Witnesses Aquilla Clemons was interviewed by Mark Lane. She described Tippit's assailant as chunky but short, and he waved bis hand at a skinny man in a white shirt and khakis, signaling him to go. She also said that a man came to her two fays after the assassination telling her it would be best if she didn't say anything because she might get hurt. 

Frank Wright also saw two men, and reported them speeding off in a grey Plymouth. (National Gaurdian, a new look at the Tippit killing October 32, 1964, jfk.hood.edu) Ferrie had also been seen in a grey Plymouth with Clay Shaw and Lee Harvey Oswald when they made their trip to the Clinton Voter Registration Office.

Witness Doris Holan was Interviewed by Bill Pulte and Michael Brownlow. Like Aquilla Clemons she recalled seeing a heavy man in a dark blue jacket walk down the driveway and signal Tippit's Assailant with a wave to go. She also said “if it wasn't him, it was his brother,” in relation to the man she saw shot by Jack Ruby on tv. (Dale Myers, Doris E. Holan and the Tippit murder, november19, 2020, jfkfiles.blogspot.com).

Additional sighting of the Plymouth - T.F. white worked at Mack Pete's Garage located on West Davis St. between Zang Blvd. and North Beckly. 20 minutes after Oswalds arrest he observed a red ford falcon Sitting in the parking lot of El Chico restaurant. He would tell KRLD-TV reporter Wes Wise that he had seen who he believed to have been Oswald in this car. White remembered the license plate as PP 4567. This plate came back registered to Carl Mathers, belonging to a light blue Plymouth. Mathers was employed by Collin's radio, which is a CIA company responsible for installing the radio equipment on air force 1 and 2. (FBI report, statesman, Wes Wise, December 4, 1963, harveyandlee.net) The owner of the red Ford Falcon was identified as Igor Vaganov, who worked for the CIA. A Ford was also seen circling the parking lot by Tower man Lee Bowers, apparently driven by a man with a walkie talkie.

So how do you get someone to kill the president without paying them. Well, as we know, David Ferrie was a freak. His file reveal that intelligence had a video of him with two underaged black girls. It also contains a letter, opening with "dear bastard," reading: "Got your letter from Dec. 30. Did you get my Christmas letter and the letter with the airplaine pictures? You did not say, so I was not sure whether you got them or not. One of my flight students loaned me some sex movies for one night. It was two reels of 8mm film with some dude fucking this broad. He got his nuts jerking under her knee, she blew him, he fucked her in the ass twice and in the pussy twice. Hope I can get them back when you get back so you can see them too. Jimmy was over when I showed them. The 'come' flew that night. I could have raped an exhaust pipe they made me so hot" (FBI File Doc ID 32263970, David Ferrie, archives.org).

Reverend Raymond Broshears was a Christian gay rights activist, the head of the militant Lavender Panthers, and one of the people who helped organize the first gay pride parade. Broshears was the head of a one man church, which is indicative of a CIA front. He was also a friend and room mate of David Ferrie. According to Broshears, Ferrie was constantly busy with steady runs to South America. He felt that Ferrie was being forced into making these flights, as he never had any money, and had to give freelance flying lessons to make ends meet. Broshears recalled to Jim Garrison, that Ferrie never liked the work he was doing, but that Ferrie had confided in him that he was "working for a group of people who wanted to take over the United states". He also told Broshears, in regard to President Johnson "that damned Johnson. If you knew what I knew, you'd kill the bastard." and that "President Kennedy is the first, they're not gonna stop until  they kill every Nigger in this country." When Broshears asked who he meant by "they," Ferrie replied "HALE BOGGS," and the others." He blackmails everyone. He has a blackmail file, I know." He said that some other people had been killed about what they knew, and that if Jackie or Bobby Kennedy ever spoke out, they had been warned they would be killed also. (Garrison Papers, Reverend Raymond Broshears)

Ferrie's Death

Ferrie had been questioned by Jim Garrison, and detained by the FBI for further questioning in regards to inconsistencies with is alibi. Garrison's aide, Lou Ivon, stated that Ferrie telephoned him the day after the story of Garrison's investigation broke and told him: "You know what this news story does to me, don't you. I'm a dead man. From here on, believe me, I'm a dead man." On February 22, 1967, less than a week after the story of Garrison's investigation broke Ferrie was found dead in his apartment with two typed and unsigned suicide notes. Coincidentally, despite the presence of the notes, Ferrie's autopsy concluded that there was no evidence of suicide or murder and that Ferrie died of an aneurism. 

Perry Russo recalled Ferrie mentioning the need for an alibi for shooters involved in his hypothetical assassination of Kennedy. Supposedly on the day of the assassination, Ferrie was travelling to Houston with two young friends, Alvin Beauboeuf and Melvin Coffey, (real name Layton Martens) to go ice skating at the Winterland Ice Arena. Layton Martens and Alvin Beaubouef can be seen here in Daily Plaza on that day. 

The Winterland ice arena was owned by Johnson family enterprise, owned by Lyndon Johnson. It was founded by Bootsie and Ronnie Roberts. Mary "Boots" Roberts, other than being a professional ice skater, allegedly worked for NASA during the Apollo and Gemini missions. (Dignity Memorial, Mary “boots” Roberts White). NASA has been known to provide cover for us defense and intelligence agencies. (National security archives, jame e. David, Nasa's secret relationships with U.S. defense and intelligence agencies, april 15, 2015).

Bootsie had an uncle on her fathers side called Vincent Caltagirone, father of Vincent Caltagirone Jr. (legacy.com, Lorraine Dinerstein). Vincent Caltagirone Jr. was a member of the general committee of the sons of Italy along with john and Peter Lucia of the Lucia crime family. (1942, York. Pennsylvania gazette and daily, to hold bond pledge banquet) He was also a groomsman at the wedding of Anna Lucia. (1949, Galviston daily) Vincent Caltagirone Jr.'s obituary claims he worked in the insurance industry for 35 years there are records of him having worked at banks an other jobs during that time. (Dignity Memorial, Vincent Caltagirone Jr.) He was a board member of the national YMCA scuba program, for whom he would also teach scuba at the Houston downtown YMCA. The down town YMCA used o be known as the Gateway Swim and Skate, which David Ferrie had called while at the Alamotel after the assassination. Vincent Caltagirone Jr. had a brother in law called Jack Valenti.

Jack Valenti 

Jack Valenti was the CIA's man in Hollywood, responsible for the MPAA film rating system. Before becoming president of the Motion Picture Association of America, Valenti had served as a Special Assistant to Lyndon Johnson.

Mob background - Valenti was born in 1921 into two mob families, The De George, on his mothers side, and the Valenti family on his fathers. FBI files indicate that, Valenti had been investigated for crimes such as bank fraud and smuggling women into Mexico for illegal abortions. According to FBI informants, Valenti had associations with an unidentified hoodlum and book maker in Houston, likely Joseph Lucia, due to that families history with the Valentis. 

According to an FBI document investigating his background, it is indicated that Valenti and Lucia carried on a homosexual relationship, and that Lucia covered his honeymoon expenses to Las Vagas.

Valenti applied to Harvard but was rejected because he was only a b/c student. After flying to Boston, however, he was somehow secured permission to enter their eighteen month business school. [FBI file Jack Valenti page 90, archive.org]

Intelligence Background - In the 50s Jack Valenti ran an ad business called Weekly and Valenti in Houston, servicing clients such as Continental Oil. Valenti started working for Humble Oil as a hall-boy, moving up the ranks to become manager of sales promotion and advertising. 

Him and his company were hired to run LBJ's campaigns in Texas, then an ad contract for Kennedy's presidential run in 1960. A 1963 FBI memo reveals that Valenti's payroll was moved from that of a "federal agency" to that of the white house. (FBI File, Jack Valenti, Page 49, archive.org) 

Valenti was employed as a consultant in the state department from 1966 to 1969, however it is recorded that during his employment he worked of total of zero days. 1966 was also the year Jack became head of the Motion picture association of America. If you can't tell by now, the CIA runs Hollywood.

granted clearance for top secret 6 days before leaving government service. This position was renewed in 1967 when he was granted a position on the board of foreign scholarship, which only terminates when the persons relationship with the DoS terminates. [FBI file Jack Valenti page 173, archive.org] In May of 66 Valenti was given most of Bill Moyors security functions and made to preside over the meetings of CIA officials such as Richard Helms, who reported to him. [Jack Anderson, The Washington post, byplay in the Valenti appointment, may 11, 1966] Jack Valenti quit as Johnson's aid to become head of the MPAA. (Motion picture association of America) 

FBI documents imply that Valenti may have had some kind of photographic blackmail on Johnson. He also may have been Johnson's hitman. In a police report Valenti details a list of items reportedly stolen from his suitcase after a flight, including a watch, an electric shaver, some sunglasses, and two pairs of 5 by 8 and 6 by 8 inch cufflinks, both with the presidential seal on them. The report stated that none of these items would be identifiable, however the two cufflinks would not be in normal circulation as they contained the presidential seal. Johnson had many sets of cufflinks, none of which were 5 or 6/8 inches in diameter. He was, however, said to have had a hit list of 8 people, implying via code that 6 of them may have been taken out by Valenti.

Inconsistent Alibi - Valenti's alibi lacks any effort whatsoever. The official Whitehouse documentation for the motorcade states that Jack was in the party bus, 24th in line, the source being Jack Valenti himself. However in an interview jack recalls being in the 6th car following Kennedy's. [Washington post Jack Valenti one days passage of power Nov 21 1993] In another interview he states that he was eight cars behind Kennedy with Evelyn Lincoln and Liz Carpenter. In his book he again claims to have been with Evelyn Lincoln and Liz carpenter, this time in the 6th car. In the LBJ presidential library histories Valenti says either a small bus or a smallish van, and guesses 12 or 14 lines in in a small bus. [Michael l Gillette memoirs of a tragedy2013] In 1969 Valenti claimed that when he got to the trade mart, no one was there. But in 1998 he recalled how when he arrived a large crowd was awaiting the president. In 1969 he recalled hearing about Kennedy's death from someone's pocket radio, but in 1986 he recalled being told by a secret service agent. [la times anniversary if an assassination] Jack Valenti claims twice that after arriving at the trade mart he commandeered a cop car along with Liz Carpenter, Evelyn Lincoln and Pamela Turnure. [La times and Washington post] But Liz Carpenter, made no mention of Jack Valenti in this account of the incident] Marie Fahmer recalls her being the one who gathered up the rest of the secretaries to commandeer the deputy's car (presidential oral histories interview, Marie Fahmer, Chiarodo august 1972 lbjlibrary.net)

The only woman in the party bus who provided an alibi for Jack Valenti was Elizabeth Harris, who worked for Sam Bloom's advertising agency, and helped plan the trip. She was also the co founder of Ms. Magazine, with feminist pioneer and acknowledged CIA spook Gloria Steinem. despite her claim, Harris's name isn't present in the official white house documentation, and no one else ever brings her up. Harris claimed that reverend Luther Holcomb was on the bus with her, even though Holcombs daughter told the press that the reverend was in a convertible fifth behind Kennedy [Athens review, daughter of minister tasked with sharing tragic news speaks at cll] she also claimed that upon arriving at the trade mart she guided the other guests through the back door and in to the kitchen. This is contradicted by Liz carpenters statement that a state trooper refused to let them in. She claimed that she was with Evelyn Lincoln, and that she had escorted her off the bus, but Marie Fahmer described the same ordeal without making any mention of Harris. 

Regardless of all that, we know where he was, because he can be seen hanging off of Kennedy's limo with David Morales. 

No wonder he looked so sweaty in Air Force 1 while Johnson was being inaugurated. 

After he was shot, the presidents limo jumps around the lead car, which jumps around the limo once again. This game of leap frog provided a window for Jack Valenti to jump into the back of Kennedy's limo to hide his rifle. Driver, William Greere, picks up Jack Valenti. (Macintyre photo #1) Macintyre photo #2 shows Jack Valenti and David Morales hanging on the back of the car.

And why is there now 10 people on the car, instead of the 8 that are suppose to be there? David F. Powers, who is suppose to be in the secret service car, coincedentaly ran out of footage before the assassination. But no photos show him to be in the secret service car at the time of the shooting.

Raul - As mentioned before, Jack Valenti had a brother in law called Vincent Caltagirone Jr., who is connected to the Winterland Ice arena. MLK assassin, James Earl Ray told author Penn Jones that he believed that the short tramp in Dealy Plaza resembled his handler, Raul. While seemingly not the same person, the two do have similar faces, with Vincent looking more Italian. Glenda Grabow claimed to Have known Raul, who went by the nickname "The Dago". (Howtobeyourowndetective.com, Joe Biden, Jack Ruby, Jack Valenti and the public record) She Said that in the early 70s h e had told her during a car ride that he had killed JFK and MLK, and that he wanted to make a million dollars with Jack Valenti.

Valenti on JFK - Valenti would refer to Oliver Stone's JFK as a smear, despite the fact that he was behind the scenes with media executives of NBC, Heart corp. and Walt Disney corp. which owns A&E Networks who prepared a program for the history channel that, like Oliver Stone's movie, portrayed Johnson as the Killer of JFK. The film's executive producer and chief financier was Arnon Milchan, who in 2013 was revealed to be an Israeli spy and weapons smuggler, who illegally shipped US nuclear Krytron Triggers to Israel with the help of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Forum Post - A mysterious forum post by Dave Miller, which is the real name of Dave Yaras, names Valenti as the third shooter.

Valenti's Invite - Jack Valenti was the one who drew Kennedy to Texas with an invitation to attend the appreciation dinner of Albert Thomas, a day before his trip to Dallas. Valenti was also on the board of the Dallas citizens council, which would have planned the motorcade route to the Dallas trade mart.

A week before the assassination, Valenti was spotted in LA at a clothier in Hollywood at a meeting including 4 men suspected of a burglary at an armory. The meeting included Caspar Weinberger and George Schultz, from Bechtel Corp and writer/director Joseph Mankiewicz. 

An informant for the FBI reported seeing Jack Valenti in a diner with Lee Harvey Oswald (William Seymour) and Jack Ruby on November 20^th, two days before the assassination. Also on Nobember 20^th two cops noticed several men aiming rifles over the fence. They made it over to the fence, but by the time they got there, the men had fled in a car. This was reported to the FBI, who issued a report of it on Nov 26, which was never Mentioned by Warren Commission. The report disappeared until 1978 when it resurfaced thanks to a FOIA request. (Mafia kingfish – John Davis)

Interpen

Interpen - Interpen was a CIA financed militia created by Gerry Hemming, responsible for the organization of training camps for anti-Castro Cuban Exiles and other mercenaries for carrying out raids in Cuba. A man resembling Hemming can be seen here in Dealey Plaza. He was also a consultant for Oliver Stone's JFK film. 

An FBI memo documents the sighting of a man walking up Akard Street carrying a rifle, described as tall, muscular, having a dirty blonde crew cut and wearing a business suit. At the bottom of the document, someone had written "HEMMINGS?" When interviewed, Hemming failed to categorically deny that this was him. Hemming claimed in an interview to having been approach directly on numerous occasions with offers of money to assassinate Kennedy.

Lawrence Howard Loren Hall, and William Seymour were Mercenaries who worked for Interpen. Seymour is said to have been the New Orleans representative of the Double-Check Corporation, a CIA front based out of Miami. Ferrie associate, Gordon Novel was also associated with Double-Check. (Crossfire: The Plot That killed Kennedy, Jim Marrs, 2013)

The House select committee on assassinations linked Loren Hall and Gerry Hemming to a Johnson semi automatic 30.06 rifle found in Dealy Plaza shortly after the shooting, with Hall and an unidentified Hispanic man buying the gun a week before the assassination from a man named Richard Hathcock. Hall even telling Hathcock that he had to catch a flight to Dallas. (HSCA 180-10107-10440, Inconsisancies with the Lone Gunman Theory, riversong,wordpress.com) 

William Seymour and Loren Hall arrested for bottle of speed pills in a truck full of weapons. deleted from the Dallas police records. (𓃠)

Alibi - Loran Hall testified to the HSCO with immunity, claiming to have been in LA at the time of the assassination, working at IPCO hospital supply with a man named Robert Hudson, although IPCO would employ Hall a few weeks after the assassination, and Robert Hudson would later recant his statement backing Hall's alibi. (Weisberg, H Disk/Hall Loran Eugene/Item 27.pdf) Loran Hall testified to the HSCA that he was offered a $50,000 contract to kill JFK at a meeting he had in Dallas by a guy named “Jack” in September of 1963. (page 66) Of course he stated he declined it. Hall also in contact with Gerry Patrick Hemming (page 5) near the time of the assassination. Gerry said Hall stole rifles from him, including a Johnson 30.06. More on that later.

Lawrence Howard was a half Irish, half Mexican American who worked for Interpen, often described as dark complected and pock marked. It's hard to miss a husky Latino with pock marks all over his face, so here's a counter for every time Howard, or at least someone fitting his description is spotted throughout the story.

David Ferrie's attorney, G. Wray Gill, recalled seeing a heavy-set Cuban man come to visit him from time to time, describing him as rough looking and pock-marked. (Garrison Lead File)

In January of 1961, Lee Harvey Oswald is seen at the Bolton Ford dealership with a heavy set pock marked Latin with a scar over his left eye. 

In September of 63, Oswald is seen at the Havana bar in New Orleans with a stocky Latin man who ordered tequila, while Oswald ordered lemonade. The timing of this event coincides with the travels of Howard and Seymour between Dallas, New Orleans and Miami.

Also in September, Oswald visits Silvia Odio with two men referred to as Cubans. At the time of these events, Oswald is meant to be in New Orleans. Lawrence Howard on the other hand admitted to Garrison to travelling to Dallas with Loran Hall, arriving on September 20th. What's more, Loran Hall admitted when asked by the FBI to having visited Odio's apartment with Howard and Seymour. Hall would later try desperately to recant this statement. 

In November of 63 is seen at the Carousel Club with a 200 pound dark complected man with, again, bumps on his face and a scar on his left eyebrow. 

Walker shooting - Before Nov. 22, there was alleged assassination attempt of general walker by Lee Harvey Oswald. 

According to 14 year-old Walter Kirk Coleman, the man he saw was accompanied by a 200 pound man, who sped off in a Chevy. (Dallas Police, Reports of Burglary by Firearms of Edwin A. Walker, April 10, 1963, The Portal To Texas History Online)

Security agent Max Claunch reported seeing a suspicious vehicle drive by Walker's house several times. Like Coleman, he described this car as a Chevy, driven by a dark complected man. Before the shooting, associate Robert Surrey reported seeing two men in a Ford looking in the window at the general's home.

Jules Ricco Kimble was interviewed by Jim Garrison, due to his alleged connection to David Ferrie. Aside from being a Klansman, Kimble had self admittedly described himself as a Fink for the feds. In discussing the Walker shooting, when pressed about Oswald's alleged involvement, Kimble stated: "I don't believe it- I think Howard took a shot... he was in Dallas with all those other crumbs." When Garrison mentioned that Oswald was seen with an accomplice, Kimble responded: "like Billy Seymour and Howard who was always hauling his Mexican carcass around trying to pull some kind of caper" (Garrison Papers, Arcacha Sergio)

Thomas Beckham was a CIA contract agent, who delivered a package from New Orleans to Lawrence Howard. In his testimony before the grand jury in the Clay Shaw trial, he claimed to have never met Oswald, but when he testified before the HSCA, he claimed that they were good friends. Beckham was deposed by the HSCA and offered tentative immunity for his testimony. Beckham was photographed in Dallas on November 22nd at love field, walking a few feet away from Kennedy's limo. Beckham told of a meeting in Algiers Louisiana, involving Sergio Arcacha-Smith, G. Wray Gill, the Marcello brothers and some unnamed Cubans, in which the assassination of the president was discussed. After the meetings, Beckham was instructed by David Ferrie to visit the office of G. Wray Gill, who provided him with several photographs and documents including sketches of buildings and a street. He also talked about his handler Lee Crisman, who helped him move around, always one step away from investigators who were looking to interview him or serve him papers. (Beckham Deposition, HSCA, October 9, 1977)

Beckham was flown to Dallas where he was told to meet with a "Mr. Howard". Upon looking at the maps, Howard was reportedly displeased with how little he was given to work with.

Witnesses to Seymour and Howard - At 1:50 Philip Hathaway saw a white man with a dirty blonde crew cut carrying a rifle in a gun case while walking up Akard St, possibly Hemming.

A man resembling Seymour can be seen in the Robert Hughes film, receiving a signal from a man in a long grey coat. 

At 12:15 PM Arnold Rowland and his wife see two men with high powered rifles in the sixth floor of the school book depository, one of which is described as dark complected, with a face which was wrinkled or marked in some way. (Dallas Police statement, Arnold Rowland, November 22 1963, the portal to Texas history)

These men are also seen by Ruby Henderson who describes one of them as seeming Mexican. (FBI report , James J. Ward, December 5, 1963, JFK online.com) 

A dark complected man on the 6th floor is also described by inmate John Powell from the county jail. 

Carolyn Walthers also sees two men with a rifle on what she had believed to have been the fifth floor as the description of the men matches the known appearance of the shooters on the sixth floor. (Murder in Dealy Plaza: what we now that we didn't know then about the death of JFK, James Fetzer, 2013)

Richard Randolph Carr was working on the seventh floor of the newly constructed courthouse, located at the corner of Houston and Commerce. He told the FBI he saw a man in a light hat with a rifle on the 5th floor, then later saw him going down Houston St. to the corner of commerce. Carr would survive two separate murder attempts wherein he would kill one of his attackers.  (testimony of Richard Randolph Carr, trial of Clay Shaw, February 19, 1969, history-matterss.com) 

Tom Dillard photographer on the motorcade also sees men on the 6^th floor.

Police Report - At 12:45 a police report goes out describing a white male with what is believed to be a 30 caliber rifle. (CBS news inquiry, the warren commission part III, June 1967, Page4, jfk.hood.edu).

Witnesses to Loran Hall and Howard - Dallas Sherriff Roger Craig recalled a white man in his 20s running down the Grassy Knoll, before being picked up by a Latin man coming down Elm street in a light green Rambler. (Roger Craig’s unpublished autobiography, when they kill a president, 1971) Roger Craig later identified this man from a picture shown to him by Jim Garrison. Garrison said he did not know who he was, other than that he had been arrested immediately after the assassination, but was let go because he didn’t speak English.

This account is corroborated by Richard Carr, who testified at the trial of Clay Shaw, to having seen three men, including a Latin, exit the rear door of the school book depository, with two of them fleeing in a station wagon. (Testimony of Richard Randolph Carr, Trial of Clay Shaw, Febuary 19, 1969, jfk-online.com) He would later see one of the men walking in a hurry, looking over the corner of his shoulder as if he was being followed, before fleeing in a light colored Nash Rambler.

Roger Craig stated that the car was green, but the warren commission changed it to blue, probably because both Marvin Robinson (Jim Garrison files, FBI Interview of Marvin C. Robinson, November 23, 1963) and Roy Cooper also reported seeing a green Rambler pick up a white man from the grassy knoll outside the Book Depository

Researcher John Armstrong uncovered that both Clay Shaw and Lawrence Howard owned light colored Nash Ramblers. (John Armstrong, Harvey and lee depart the TSBD, Harveyandlee.net)

Howard and Seymour fly to New Mexico - Airforce sergeant Rebert Vincent was placed on a plane from Washington to his unit in Colorado. On the place, the pilot and co pilot didn’t talk to him, and there was no crew chief on board, and the tail designation didn’t have a normal air force insignia. After the announcement of Kennedy’s death, the plane changed course for Dallas. While on the ground the plane picked up two men, then flew to a new Mexico base on full alert. Over the next few months, Vincent was transferred to a new squadron, his background checked meticulously. His new assignment was a CIA unit, meaning he and his wife were sworn to secrecy. The markings on the planes tail were later discovered to indicate the plane belonged to the CIA. He described these men as being a heavy set Hispanic and a slim white man who looked just like Oswald.
