Assassin secretly deported after JFK killed
WorldNetDaily.com ^ | Wednesday, September 24, 2003

Posted on 09/24/2003 12:04:04 AM PDT by JohnHuang2

Just two days after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a suspected killer and known foreign terrorist was captured in Dallas, Texas.

The U.S. government was aware the man had received rigorous training in a foreign military and was a member of a covert paramilitary organization that already had murdered dozens, if not hundreds of people, including military officers, high ranking police officials and democratically elected politicians.


President Kennedy speaking in Fort Worth the morning of Nov. 22, 1963

Amazingly, according to the authors of an explosive new book promising to unravel the 40-year mystery of who killed JFK, there is no evidence to show he ever even was questioned about his presence in Dallas so soon after Kennedy's murder.

Instead, say co-authors Brad O'Leary and L.E. Seymour in the upcoming WND Books release "Triangle of Death," the man was picked up and quickly and quietly flown out of the United States under a cloak of secrecy.

Although the book has not yet been released to bookstores, it has already shot up to 218 on the Amazon chart just from initial pre-sales.

The story of the mysterious assassin is revealed in a CIA document backing the author's compelling argument that President Kennedy was killed Nov. 22, 1963, as the result of a massive conspiracy between the CIA-installed government of South Vietnam, the French global heroin syndicate and the New Orleans Mafia.

"This deportation, in fact, and the sinister man in question, have been the subject of repeated U.S. Justice Department investigations for more than three decades," the authors write, "investigations that have been deliberately withheld from the American public and the world."

The suspicious expulsion also never was reported to the Warren Commission, the official investigative body appointed by President Lyndon Johnson.

"This revelation can only be described as colossal in the realm of assassination research, and one would accordingly expect the league of Kennedy researchers to jump all over it, examine it to every degree, and then include its startling importance in the overall field of their work," O'Leary and Seymour write. "But that never happened."

The CIA document reveals the man was a French assassin – wanted by France for subversion – who was in Fort Worth on the morning of Nov. 22, 1963, and in Dallas in the afternoon.

On that morning, President Kennedy was in Forth Worth, giving a speech in front of the Hotel Texas. In the afternoon, in Dallas, he was shot to death.

Noting all U.S. deportations were executed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the authors ask: "Why would an authority of the United States Justice Department deport a known terrorist?"

One would believe, they write, that he would have been "apprehended and imprisoned, or at least sent back to France where the legal authorities there had already clearly deemed him an enemy of the state."

"But there's no evidence to suggest [he] was ever even questioned about his presence in Dallas so soon after Kennedy's murder."

The French, who believe he was expelled to either Mexico or Canada, identified him as a member of the right-wing extremist group, the OAS, Organisation de l'Armée Secrète, comprised of deserters from the French Army in opposition to President Charles de Gaulle's granting of independence to Algeria. The members of the "Secret Army" were involved in countless acts of terrorism and assassination.

"Triangle of Death" answers questions surrounding this previously dismissed episode and pieces it together with recently declassified federal documents, material supplied by the KGB, information from the Bonano crime family, documents obtained from a French court and the only interview done with a French witness previously only debriefed by the FBI and CIA.

As WorldNetDaily reported, newly released tapes of Johnson's telephone conversations also corroborate the central premise the book, showing the Kennedy White House did not merely tolerate or encourage the murder of its ally, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem, but organized and executed it, writes Fox News White House correspondent James Rosen in the Weekly Standard.

Coup d'état

"Triangle of Death" – which includes details of a first-time-ever crime scene re-creation at Dealey Plaza – shows how Kennedy planned and developed the coup d'état that resulted in the political murders of the Catholic president, Diem, and his two brothers just 22 days before his death. The U.S. State Department suppressed this information for more than 30 years.


Evidence includes federal documents that only recently have been declassified or released – exclusively to the authors.

The authors reveal a Mafia chieftain, who employed Jack Ruby and Lee Harvey Oswald's uncle, confessed to federal officers he had been directly involved in Kennedy's murder.

In addition, O'Leary and Seymour recount how the United States and the Soviet Union both went on high military alert immediately after Kennedy's death, bringing the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation.

Other facts uncovered by the book include:

Two chapters of this book have already been used to make two different television specials – one on PBS and the other on the History Channel.

Co-author O'Leary, involved in politics for more than 25 years, publishes the O'Leary Report, one of the most influential publications in American politics. His clients have included more than 60 political and public figures, including Sen. John Tower and Texas Gov. John Connolly, who rode in Kennedy's car when he was shot. O'Leary also hosted his own radio show on NBC for seven years and was a contributing columnist for USA Today Weekend magazine. He currently is president of Associated Television News in Los Angeles.

O'Leary is available for media interviews through Shirley and Banister and Associates at (703) 739-5920.

His co-author, Seymour, is a free-lance writer and author of 15 novels, including "The Stickmen" and "Operator 'B'."

False claims?

O'Leary and Seymour note investigative bodies of the U.S. government have made numerous claims, including that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin; that only two shots hit their target, that the bullets fired that day all came from the sixth floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository; and that Kennedy was killed because he was preparing to pull all U.S. troops out of Vietnam.


The authors insist all of these claims are false and are designed to placate the American public and distract them from the facts of the case.

They acknowledge most readers will find it difficult to accept that Kennedy authorized the overthrow of the Catholic government of South Vietnam and the assassination of Diem, South Vietnam's democratically elected, constitutional president.

After all, Kennedy had generously pledged American troops, military equipment and tax dollars to protect South Vietnam from the threat of communism.

But the authors of "Triangle of Death" provide evidence Kennedy personally asked a high-ranking U.S. military officer to assassinate Diem, who was a political disaster-in-the-making for the president.

The events were set into motion when a Buddhist leader named Quang Duc calmly sat down in a Saigon street June 11, 1963, soaked himself with gasoline, lit a match and burned himself to death.

The news swept through the world, and when the full extent of Diem's brutality toward the Buddhists became apparent, America immediately began to ask itself the obvious questions, O'Leary and Seymour write: "Why is the U.S. supporting a foreign government that engages in religious persecution? Why is President Kennedy sending U.S. military personnel to help the government of a man who puts his own people into concentration camps?"

The authors point out: "Until then, America believed the increasing number of U.S. men and women being sent to South Vietnam – close to 15,000 by June 1963 – and the $1.2-million-per-day aid package were to help the South Vietnamese fight the deadly Vietcong. But literally overnight, the U.S. was internationally perceived as a bunch of buffoons who were propping up a tyrant."


South Vietnamese President Ngo Dinh Diem was assassinated Nov. 1, 1963

With the next U.S. presidential election just over a year away, they write, "Kennedy was infuriated; moreover, he and his political consultants were scared."

People "already believed that Kennedy had stolen the election, based on suspicious vote-counting in Illinois; a Catholic U.S. president supporting a Catholic fanatic who was intent on persecuting another religious group would provide them with all the ammunition they needed in November of '64."

The authors contend they have irrefutable evidence the Kennedy White House supported a coup d'etat against the government of South Vietnam and the assassination of President Diem.

"More than anything else," they write, "this was the rich ground in which a counter-conspiracy was planted, the conspiracy that led to President Kennedy's own assassination."

I asked a very simple question about the scope mounting that you continue to bring up. If the scope was supposedly attached wrong, I wanted to hear how it was attached in your own words.

Apparently you have no idea how the scope is attached on a Carcano so how can you claim it was attached incorrectly?

LaFountain is a Native American stone sculptor named Bruce. The couple is Ray and Mary La Fontaine, the title Oswald Talked, Pelican, 1996.

They have Doyle, Abrams and Holt, but they don't have the three tramps photographed in custody of two Dallas officers in Dealey Plaza.

Those three were released that day; Doyle Abrams and Holt were held over the weekend.

Case not closed.

The crosshairs in the graphic at 97 have no relationship to the back wound.

The back wound coincided with holes in Kennedy's clothing measured by the FBI as follows:

5-3/8" down from the coat collar;

5-3/4" down from the shirt collar.

The hole in Kennedy's back did not go deeper than the first joint of the autopsist's finger.

The hole in Kennedy's throat was identified as a wound of entry at Dallas Parkland Memorial.

The attempt to create a through and through shot from the neck through the throat was a failed hoax.

Magic bullets do whatever Scottish Law dictates.

If they disappear, they are no more talented than President Kennedy's brain in custody of the U.S. Government.

On the other thread above, I've been 'told' in no uncertain terms that under the new improved single bullet theory it was the ~1st~ shot that missed JFK and disappeared.

The scope was attached so poorly that it could not be aligned. Only after the Ballistics Laboratory of the U.S. Army repaired the improper mounting could it be semi-accurately fired.

What is hard to understand about that? Now you are reduced to defending the work of Klein's gunsmith? And you want to argue with the FBI about this?

Robert A. Frazier, FBI expert testified to the Commission about this "When we attempted to sight in this rifle at Quantico, we found that the elevation adjustment in the telescopic sight was not sufficient to bring the point of impact to the aiming point. In attempting to adjust and sight-in the rifle, every time we changed the adjusting screws to move the crosshairs in the telescopic sight in one direction- it also affected the movement of the impact or the point of impact in the other direction. That is, if we moved the crosshairs in the telescope to the left it would also affect the elevation setting of the telescope. And when we had sighted-in the rifle approxiamately, we fired serveral shots and found that the shots were not all landing in the same place, but were gradually moving away from the point of impact.

This was APPARENTLY DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TELESCOPE, which apparently did not stablize itself-- that is, the spring mounting in the crosshair ring did not stabilize until we had fired five or six shots....There is an elevation-adjusting screw at the top, which pushes the crosshair ring down against a spring located in the lower left-hand side of the scope tube circle which adjusts the crosshair ring laterally for windage adjustments....We found in this telescopic sight on this rifle that this ring was shifting in the telescope tube so that the gun COULD NOT BE SIGHTED-IN merely by changing the screws....to the point that we decided it would not be feasible to completely sight the weapon inasfar as windage goes, and in addition found that the elevation screw could not be adjusted sufficiently to bring the point of impact on the targets down to the sighting point....As far as to be unable to adjust the scope, actually, I could not say when it had been introduced. I don't know what the cause is. It may be that the mount has been bent or the crosshair ring shifted...."

MR. EISENBERG: "Carrying this question a little bit further on the deliberateness of the sighting-in, the problem with the elevation crosshair is BUILT INTO THE MOUNTING OF THE SCOPE, is that correct."
FRAZIER: Yes. The mount is not screwed to the rifle in such a fashion that it points the scope at the target closely enough to permit adjusting the crosshair to accurately sight-in the rifle....You can accomplish that merely by PUTTING SHIMS UNDER THE FRONT OF THE SCOPE AND OVER THE BACK OF THE SCOPE to tip the scope in the mount itself, to bring it into alinement."

In other testimony gun shop owner Floyd Guy Davis was asked "If a man purchased a from a mail-order house that had a telescopic sight mounted on it, would you have any opinion as to what the accuracy of that rifle would be without it having actually been sighted in by actual firing of the rifle?"
DAVIS: "If the gun was anywhere near accurate, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AN ACCIDENT, because the slightest jar CAN KNOCK A SCOPE 2 OR 3 FEET OUT OF BALANCE, and there is no way you could ship a gun AND CARRY A GUN AROUND A LITTLE BIT and make sure it being accurate. That is why your deer hunters practice and shoot their guns in every year before they go deer hunting. And I have saw them waste almost five boxes of shells trying to get them accurate down there after having sighted them in the year before."

It was indeed inconvenient for the Lone Gunman's Magic Bullet that the FBI located the holes in Kennedy's jacket and shirt, and that the autopsists stated that wound penetrated the depth of the first digit of a finger--and that the throat wound was identified as a wound of entry by the doctors at Parkland Memorial.

There were of course three rifles found that day: a British .303 Enfield on the roof of the Depository, and a 7.65 Mauser (Mauser stamped on the rifle) witnessed by Deputy Roger Craig. Craig was repeatedly attacked and finally killed. He is the subject of a videotape "Two Men In Dallas" wherein he is interviewed by Mark Lane.

The Mannlicher-Carcano was carefully placed in an intricate niche:

There is no indication the area was checked for fingerprints at all, even though the rifle was completely surrounded by boxes and carefully hidden in a space "just wide enough to accommodate that rifle and hold it in an upright position" [4H253-5]. By "upright", Day meant horizontal. He and Studebaker clambered all over the unfingerprinted barriers behind which the rifle was hidden to take pictures, but they took only similar pictures from exactly the same spot. Studebaker's even show his own knee as he photographed downward [21H645].

After the rifle was photographed, Day held it by the stock. He assumed the stock would show no prints. Then Captain Fritz, perhaps because of the presence of newsmen, grasped the bolt and ejected a live cartridge.

Weitzman's testimony about the care and success with which the rifle was hidden and about the searchers stumbling over it without finding it is important in any time reconstruction. With the almost total absence of fingerprints on a rifle that took and held prints and the absence of prints on the clip and shells that would take prints, this shows the care and time taken by the alleged user of the weapon. That this version is not in the Report can be understood best by comparison with the version that is.

Harold Weisberg, Whitewash, Harold Weisberg, 1965, pages 35-36.

Oswald, having committed the Crime of the Century, certainly went to a great deal of trouble to avoid his hard-earned fifteen minutes of fame, even claiming he was "a patsy" who "didn't shoot anybody".

With a negative test of his cheek cast, he was probably telling the truth.

Now you're telling ridiculous lies. There were no other rifles found that day. None. No Enfield. The Carcano was thought at first to be a Mauser.

Carefully Placed? You know that for a fact? You were there to watch Oswald "carefully place" the Carcano?

That falsehood is desposed of by the post right before yours. The careful hiding also destroys the claim that Oswald could have gotten to the 2d floor break room in time for the police to see him there.

Even if it was dropped why don't you tell us how it could have been properly sighted to begin with? That should be good.

The Mauser was also identified by another Deputy Weitzman who later retracted his statement.

After reading the FBI expert's testimony it seems evident that no tests were made to show the MC had been fired that day. Or, more likely, that they were and showed that it had NOT been fired.

It also appears that the rifle as ordered did not have a clip. So we have another question of where did the clip come from. And who put the strap on it?

I like the LoneNutters' demand for extensive proof from the doubters while they swallow incredible illogic and sloppiness from the WC. Like 2.5's petulant whine "Did you see Oswald carefully ...?" Yet he is happy to accept a near blind man's claim that he saw Oswald in the window. And they have no problem with the clearly prejudicial flaws in the questioning of the witnesses before the Committee. While done in a clever way careful attention exposes the elisions over inconvenient facts, deceptions and refusal to follow-up inconvenient statements.

I am also struck by the consistent testimony of those who knew Oswald that they cannot believe he could have done this. Persistent remarks as to his mild-mannered, even shy personality and bookishness are throughout the testimony before the Commission.

If they used a consistent standard of proof I would have much more respect for them. Hopefully, they will never be on a jury trying a capital case.

The careful hiding

Careful hiding? Where do you get that? Again, were you there for Oswald to Carefully hid the rifle or toss the rifle as he made it to the break room in a matter of minutes.

Sighting in the rifle has to do with learning how the scope was mounted in the first place. I asked you on a number of occasions to find that out for yourself.

I can sight in any rifle in a matter of about three shots. I've done it most of my life. It's taught in the Military and Oswald was fully aware how to do it.

As that Leatherneck if the Marines would waste 5 boxes of ammo to sight in a single rifle.

You have so many closed minded individuals here that don't know what in the hell they are talking about.

They suck up all the crap that the govt feeds them and beg for more. I won't argue with them. The only thing they can do is to post snide childish remarks and won't debate the facts. Won't admit when they are wrong, and won't listen to anyone except their fairy tale masters.

The singing pig question of the day seems to be if Oswald was able to zero his MC in 'about' three shots.. - Please advise from a leathernecks perspective.

Deputy Seymour Weitzman's original affidavit is reproduced by the Commission on page 228 of Volume XXIV of the Hearings.

We were in the northwest corner of the sixth floor when Deputy Boone and myself spotted the rifle about the same time. This rifle was a 7.65 Mauser bolt action equipped with a 4/18 scope, a thick leather brownish-black sling on it.

Deputy Sheriff Boone: "I thought it was a 7.65 Mauser." [III 295]

Boone was shown the Mannlicher-Carcano rifle, which he was unable to identify as the weapon he and Weitzman had found. [III 294]

Howard L. Brennan admitted to the Commission that he had deliberately lied to the police about his observations on November 22. [III 144, 148]

Brennan was the only witness to identify Lee Harvey Oswald as the man who fired the rifle. [III 148, 155; WCR 143-146, 250.

Brennan swore to the Commission that the man he saw fire from the window "was standing up and resting against the left window sill". [III 144]

The window was only partially open from the bottom, hence a man standing would be obliged to fire through the glass.

The Commission concluded "the half-open window, the arrangement of the boxes, and the angle of the shots virtually preclude a standing position". [WCR 144]

The building was 100 feet away, the window was six stories up, any person present would be visible only from a few inches below the shoulder to the top of the head--yet Brennan is supposed to have accurately estimated his height and weight.

Brennan claims he spoke with Forrest V. Sorrels, the Secret Service agent in charge of the Dallas office, within ten minutes of the shots--yet Sorrels says it was 30 minutes.

Facts support Sorrels' account, so Brennan was not the source of the identification which went out on police radio at 12:45.

In addition, the police concentration on the knoll continued, the Depository was not surrounded and sealed, and the casings were not discovered until 42 minutes after the shots were fired.

Brennan testified he pointed out two negro employees of the Depository to Sorrels. Sorrels denied this, and Brennan failed to identify the two when shown their picture.

Brennan admitted that his eyesight was "not good" when he testified before the Commission. [III 147]

Whatever the condition of Brennan's eyes on November 22, he was not wearing glasses when he glanced up at the sixth-floor window some 120 feet away. [III 147; XXII 847]

Brennan was taken to a Dallas police lineup that day to see whether or not he could pick out the man he claimed to have seen in the window. [III 147] Although he had seen Oswald's picture on the television, [WCR 145] he was unable to identify him. [III 147-8]

On December 17, 1963, he told FBI agents that "he was sure that the person firing the rifle was Oswald"; [WCR 145] but at a subsequent interview with the FBI, on January 7, 1964, Brennan "appeared to revert"--in the words of the Commission--"to his earlier inability to make a positive identification". [Ibid] Counsel asked Brennan what he told the police officers at the time of the lineup. [III 147-48] He replied, "Well, I told them I could not make a positive identification."

Despite Brennan's failure to make an identification, the Report lies, "Howard L. Brennan, made a positive identification of Oswald as being the person at the window." [WCR 250]

By such lies does the Report frame the dead patsy.

From my perspective not only as a Marine but as a Primary Marksmanship instructor and the owner of no less than 19 Expert awards on the Rifle range and 17 pistol, The MC could have been zero'd to perform this kind of shooting only with a very good OS and a very stable shooting bench equipped with clamps. Even then the accuracy of the weapon itself is in doubt.

Add to this the accuracy of LHO in the Marine Corps on a KD course and in my professional opinion there is no way he did the shooting. He couldn't CONSISTANTLY hit a stationary target in a tight sling position under very little stress. Here he is alleged to have assassinated the leader of the free world and did it with phenomenal precision, under extreme duress.

Someone else posted this below (thanks Phildragoo) and I would like to reiterate it. Since I am an unknown entity here I could say anything and claim anything, but I gaurantee you THIS man knows what he's talking about.

Craig Roberts, Kill Zone, CPI, 1994, pages 89-90:

According to my friend, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the former senior instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, it could not be done as described by the FBI investigators. Gunny Hathcock, now retired, is the most famous American military sniper in history. In Vietnam he was credited with 93 confirmed kills--and a total of over 300 actual kills counting those unconfirmed. He now conducts police SWAT team sniper schools across the country. When I called him to ask if he had seen the Zapruder film, he chuckled and cut me off. "Let me tell you what we did at Quantico," he began. "We reconstructed the whole thing: the angle, the range, the moving target, the time limit, the obstacles, everything. I don't know how many times we tried it, but we couldn't duplicate what the Warren Commission said Oswald did. Now if I can't do it, how in the world could a guy who was a non-qual on the rifle range and later only qualified 'marksman' do it?"

I stand by my professional opinion and by Gy Hathcock's statement.

Lee Harvey Oswald did NOT have the skill necessary to do the shooting. Period

Oh, and to everyone who's only rebuttal is to resort to flames and childish snide remarks, don't bother. Either show proof that he did the shooting or drop it. The burden of proof is STILL on the accusers as LHO has never been convicted in a court of Law, nor will he be.
