The Death Of Dorothy Hunt - Probing The Assassination Of John F Kennedy
Raymond
Kennedy, Part 3
By Sherman De Brosse Sherman De Brosse
Brigadier General Russell Bowen, in Immaculate Deception, analyzed key
Nixon tapes in which he referred to “Texans,” “the Texans,” “Cubans,”
“the Bay of Pigs,” and “some Texas people.” One of the “brown shoe
boys” of the OSS and decades of intelligence work, Bowen saw the
references as referring both to recent money laundering and to the
assassination of John F. Kennedy.
When the most relevant of these tapes was released, Nixon advisor Dean
Burch said of George H.W. Bush: “He broke out in a**holes and sh*t
himself to death…” The Warren Commission Report documents included a
memo in which J. Edgar Hoover said he gave a full briefing on the
assassination to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency,
and there in a photograph of someone who looks very much like Bush
standing in front of the Texas School Book Depository on November 22,
1963.
Comparison of that image with known photographs of the young Bush only
strengthen the impression that it he was there that day. In 1979, the
House Select Committee on Assassinations found that the FBI had
numerous recordings of mafia people threatening to kill JFK. There is
no evidence Hoover ever tried to warn the Secret Service. Maybe Hoover
simply agreed with subsequent researchers who thought the mob had
enough on Kennedy that a hit was unnecessary. However, this would not
have prevented the mob from accepting payment for assisting in an
effort initiated by others.
Nixon was in a position to know what happened on November 22, 1963,
but that does not mean he was involved. Probably by coincidence, Nixon
had just returned to New York from a conservative meeting in Dallas
when he learned of the assassination. Initially, Vice President
Richard Nixon oversaw Operation 40, an assassins unit, which was first
aimed at Cuba to appease businessmen complaining about lost property.
Operation 40 at AllExperts
Operation 40 was a CIA -sponsored undercover operation (an
assassination squad ) in the early 1960s which was active in the
Caribbean including Cuba Central America and Mexico.
Nixon got a committee of businessmen under Jack Crichton and George
H.W. bush to fund the operation. These men were also entrusted with
enlisting Cubans to invade Cuba. Frank Sturgis, Howard Hunt, Bernard
Baker and Rafael Quintero were among those recruited for the invasion.
Orlando Bosch, Luis Posada Carriles, and Antonio Veciana Felix
Rodriguez was serving as an aid to Bush. After the failed Bay of Pigs
Operation, these people detested Kennedy.
E. Howard Hunt always insisted he was in Washington, D.C. the day
Kennedy died. However, the picture of three bums picked up in Dallas
that day has fueled speculation that one of them was Hunt. Another
looked like Frank Sturgis, who was never directly employed by the CIA.
The picture allegedly showing Sturgis is convincing. Sturgis, who was
murdered in 1992, told investigator Henegan that the three hoboes were
Sturgis, Hunt, and Charles Harrelson. Sturgis said that his job that
day was to act as a spotter for “sewer assassins,” and added that
there was more than one hit team there. Investigator Jim Fetzer also
identified Harrelson, but substituted Charles Rogers ( aka Charles
Montoya) for Sturgis
Harrelson, the tallest of them, was an organized crime figure later
sent to prison for killing a San Antonio judge John Wood with a high
powered rifle. Anthropologist Gary Mack studied the photographic
evidence and said Harrelson was likely the tall tramp. Harrelson once
confessed to being involved in the assassination of Kennedy but later
retracted his comments, saying they were made under the influence of
cocaine., Carlos Marcello’s brother was convicted of hiring Harrelson
to shoot Wood. .
Hunt testified to the House that he had never met Frank Sturgis until
late 1972—something that seems very unlikely. Sturgis had been very
active in the Miami anti-Castro movement and had heard of a CIA named
“Eduardo” but he had not met Hunt or “Eduardo” until late Hunt had
bragged that he often used disguises, and it is possible that he used
some slight disguise then. Likewise David Atlee Phillips, an actor by
avocation, admitted to using disguises.
Some thought the third person was *EDWARD LANDSDALE. This association
was probably made because probably design of the assassination looked
like Lansdale’s work. General Lansdale was committed to the US effort
in Vietnam and had great influence within the CIA because he helped
control the gold the Japanese had hidden in the Philippines during
World War II . .Experts like Mike Sparks and Fletcher Prouty saw the
design as classic Lansdale. The great skill in removing conspirators
from Dallas and the subsequent cover-up reflect the work of a man of
his expertise. The general had many reasons to despise Kennedy,
including what he thought were promises of high office in Vietnam. The
Army had an anti-Kennedy think tank at the American University called
“Camelot,” and another nest of anti-Kennedy people was Operation
Mongoose, a CIA unit in Miami dedicated to killing Castro. It had a
stable of capable hit men. In the view of all these people, Kennedy
had made terrible blunders in planning to bring 1000 troops home from
Vietnam by Christmas and by signing National Security Action
Memorandum 263, which would reorient US policy from Asia to Europe.
Edward Geary Lansdale, 79, a retired Air Force major general who spent
most of his career as a counterinsurgency specialist in the
Philippines and South Vietnam, where he developed the doctrine that
communism could best be defeated by "winning the hearts and minds of
the people," died of a heart ailment Feb. 23 at his home in McLean.
Gen. Lansdale was an influential and often controversial figure who
helped shape U.S. policy in Southeast Asia at critical junctures
during the 1950s and 1960s. He was an assistant for special operations
to secretary of defense Robert S. McNamara during the early years of
the Kennedy administration when vital decisions were being made to
commit U.S. support ...

Lansdale retired November 1, 1963.
JFK Controversy
In the 1990s interest in Lansdale was sparked, in part, by the
inclusion of a character named "General Y" in the 1991 Oliver Stone
film JFK. It was implied that Lansdale was "General Y", the
operational head of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on
November 22, 1963. This theory was inspired by questions raised about
Lansdale's presence in Dealey Plaza by a former colleague, L. Fletcher
Prouty, who claimed to have recognized Lansdale in a photograph taken
that day by a Dallas Morning News photographer immediately after the
assassination. The photo allegedly shows Lansdale walking away from
"the three tramps" [1] who were arrested by Dallas police. L. Fletcher
Prouty worked next door to Lansdale for 9 years and recognized the
shape of his head, class ring and the stoop in his walk. The third
tramp's body is blocked from view but for his feet. Although many
speculative identities for the "tramps" have been offered, Prouty's
identification of Lansdale has been corroborated by Lt. General Victor
H. Krulak. Daniel Ellsberg, a consultant to Oliver Stone on JFK and
former subordinate of Lansdale's, claims to have told Stone not to
include this in the script, believing Lansdale to be innocent of the
allegations.
However, investigator Jim Fetzer makes a good case that the third hit
man was Chauncey Holt, a contract CIA killer and a very interesting
man. At one time he was Meyer Lansky’s accountant. He was also a
counterfeiter and once ran a school for assassins.
The alleged photograph of Hunt shows a resemblance but is a bit fuzzy.
St. John Hunt, Howard’s oldest son, also saw the picture: "Around
1975, I was in a phone booth in Maryland somewhere, when I saw a
poster on a telephone pole about who killed JFK, and it had a picture
of the three tramps. I saw that picture and I fucking -- like a
cartoon character, my jaw dropped, my eyes popped out of my head, and
smoke came out of my ears. It looks like my dad. There's nobody that
has all those same facial features. People say it's not him. He's said
it's not him. But I'm his son, and I've got a gut feeling." He added
that he did not remember his father being in D.C. that day. E .Howard
Hunt said under oath he was home chopping vegetables with his wife.
1972 In the 1975 trial, attorney Marc Lane pointed out that Hunt had
to carefully remind his children that he was home on November 22,
1963. The jury did not believe Hunt.
Lois Gibson, a visual identification expert with the Houston Police
Department, has made a good case that the three tramps were three
entirely different men, whose identities were known. One of them,
coincidentally, was also photographed near Oswald when he was passing
out Fair Play for Cuba pamphlets. This is not a matter that is easily
resolved. If Hunt and other CIA operatives were in Dealey Plaza, it is
very possible that they were not there as tramps. On the other hand,
technical experts from 3M's Comtal Corporation in 1988 concluded there
was a strong resemblance between Hunt and the third tramp. Earlier,
others had reached a similar conclusion by using photo overlays.
