A new book by an ex-CIA spook claims that Cuban dictator Fidel Castro knew about Lee Harvey Oswald's plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy and did nothing to stop it.
Author Brian Latell was the agency's former national intelligence officer for Latin America and is now a senior research associate in Cuban American studies at the University of Miami.
In the upcoming volume, "Castro's Secrets: The CIA and Cuba's Intelligence Machine," Latell writes that on Nov. 22 1963, Castro ordered his intelligence officers in Havana to drop their normal responsibilities and pay close attention to communications coming out of Texas — "any little detail small detail from Texas," The Miami Herald reported.
Latell also writes that Oswald became frustrated after Cuban embassy officials denied his attempts to travel there, and told Cuban intelligence officials he would kill Kennedy to prove his allegiance to Castro and the communists.

The cops in Dallas knew about it beforehand, also. What’s new?
I am a physicist by training after watching the zapruder film there is no way you can convince me the head shot did not come from the grassy knoll
Something new might be the bizarre and off-the-wall notion, which I have always believed, that Oswald pulled the trigger, that he acted alone, and that he was not part of any conspiracy.
However, if there was some sort of conspiracy, I have long thought that Manuel Piñeiro, Castro's spy chief during the early 1960's may have at least known something about it.
The best marksmen in the world couldn’t make the shots that Oswald supposedly made on Kennedy. That was proven long ago. Plus Oswald was using a POS Mannlicher-Carcano rifle isn’t that accurate.
Even the PBS TV program “Nova” that looked into the assassination they determined that the audio evidence shows that there was more than one shooter.
One of the pieces of evidence that was ignored was a shot through the windshield of Kennedy’s car. Now where did that come from?
If you consider someone an enemy, why would you even consider stopping their assassination? Unless, of course you are a committed Christian.
Did you see any of the motorcycle cops running along side or in front of Kennedy’s car?
Why was the Secret Service agents that stood on the back of Kennedy’s car were told to stand down?

Wow, this is going to drive the libs crazy, they worship JFK and Fidel, how will they possible deal with this?
The ‘Bay of Pigs’ plays into this somehow.. Retaliation for..
“The best marksmen in the world couldn’t make the shots that Oswald supposedly made on Kennedy. That was proven long ago. Plus Oswald was using a POS Mannlicher-Carcano rifle isn’t that accurate.”
I’ve stood under the Sixth floor window and then looked down the street at the place where JFK was first hit — it’s an easy shot, and even easier with a scope. Have you even been there?
Sheesh.

I’ve seen a documentary that did just exactly that. The shots on the motorcade were not long range at all.My beliefs on the assassination have changed over time and I tend to agree with the Warren Commission more than I disagree
So did alot of other people.
That shot with a rifle, and a scope, and sitting with the rifle resting, and a short distance, and a “stationary target” (target moving AWAY FROM or TOWARD YOU, as opposed to left to right) I could do with no hands and no feet. I trained on the exact same range as did Lee, so I know he could do it too.

I used to believe a conspiracy when I was younger. But then 3 things happened.
I grew up and saw how the real world works. The “men in black” don’t appear very often, and never in anything like what is allegted in the Kennedy killing.
I read books about things like Watergate and the Clinton/Lewinsky cover-up. If a person doesn’t know how those incidents can inform you about the Kennedy killing, then said person is hopeless.
I read “Case Closed”
Also, let’s not be dumb-ass dupes for liberal filth. Kennedy was killed by a LIBERAL, COMMIE-LOVING, LEFTIST!!!!!! Therefore, the liberal world instantly sprang into action to point the finger of blame on the mil-indus complex. Anything or anybody other than a liberal.
I always wondered why Kennedy’s head went backwards if the shot came from behind? Then I saw a TV recreation with a skilled marksman, same model rifle and a ‘modified skull’ in a near re-creation of the asassination scene and sure enough the shot from behind caused the skull to move backwards too.
JFK and RFK were plotting Castro’s assassination. I’d call this self-defense.

Once again...I hate to burst anyone’s balloon...but Oswald did not fire a shot on that day.
Many....many....many books by honest citizen journalists have overwhelmingly demonstrated LBJ’s hand in the assassination...Mac Wallace, a man who murdered people at the behest of Senator Johnson for years....was one shooter, his fingerprints have been IDed in the Book Depository...too much info to go into here.
Read Douglass’s JFK AND THE UNSPEAKABE, also Barr McClellan’s BLOOD, MONEY, AND POLITICS.
I’m a physicist by training and by vocation too, and if you have even been to Dallas, and seen where the deed was done..... It was like shooting fish in a barrel. Oswald couldn’t miss if he had any skills. They didn’t need to be very developed. Just a rudimentary ability to aim and squeeze the trigger.
Oswald could easily have gotten off three shots in the time allotted.
It’s one of those things that the Zapruter film just doesn’t give, the sense of how small the area really is. You watch the film and you think it was a conspiracy. Then you go there and you look at the area, and you realize; how is it possible for him to even miss.
