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."
If this scenario is anywhere near the truth, your alternative would depend on how trustworthy JFK was assessed to be.
My guess is, not very.
But there have been so many theories trotted out that even if someone does come out with the exact truth, no one will believe him or her. It will just be added to the long list of allegations and hairbrained theories.
There is no way we will ever know what really happened, and more importantly, why.
Say it isn't true, Admiral..
Now, I want you to listen very carefully. I never ever took orders from that man, er, Mr. Kennedy.
Anyway, I was in Residency then and if you don't want to believe my wife you can talk to my Chief at the time, Renfield.

Dean Andrews is fascinating:
Liebeler: Do you mean to suggest by that statement that you have considerable doubt in your mind that Oswald killed the President?
Andrews: I know good and well he did not. With that weapon, he couldn't have been capable of making three controlled shots in that short time.
Liebeler: You are basing your opinion on reports that you have received over news media as to how many shots were fired in what period of time; is that correct?
Andrews: I am basing my opinion on five years as an ordnanceman in the Navy. You can lean into those things, and with throwing the bolts--if I couldn't do it myself, eight hours a day, doing this for a living, constantly on the range, I know this civilian couldn't do it. He might have been a sharp marksman at one time, but if you don't lean into that rifle and don't squeeze and control constantly, your brain can tell you how to do it, but you don't have the capability. . . .You have to stay with it. You just don't pick up a rifle or pistol or whatever weapon you are using and stay proficient with it You have to know what you are doing. You have to be a conniver. This boy could have connived the deal, but I think he is a patsy. Somebody else pulled the trigger. . . .It's just taking the five years and thinking about it a bit. I have fired as much as 40,000 rounds of ammo a day for seven days a week. You get pretty good with it as long as you keep firing. Then I have gone back after two weeks. I used to be able to take a shotgun, go on a skeet, and pop 100 out of 100. After two weeks, I could only pop 60 of them. I would have to start shooting again, same way with the rifle and machine guns. Every other person I knew, same thing happened to them. You just have to stay at it. [11H 330]
The most famous American military sniper in history, with 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam, Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, U.S. Marine Corps senior instructor at the Sniper Instructor School at Quantico, Virginia, said his Marines had not been able to duplicate the shooting attributed to Oswald after duplicating the conditions exactly. "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?" (Craig Roberts, A Sniper Looks At Dealey Plaza, CPI, 1994, pp. 89-90.
Weisberg, former OSS and United States Senate investigator, is author of eight books on the assassination beginning with Whitewash, 1965.
Weisberg's efforts led to the Freedom of Information Act. He obtained hundreds of thousands of pages of documents from the FBI and CIA through his twelve suits over the course of years.
Posner spent three days going through some of the sixty file cabinets in Weisberg's basement--but carefully omitted evidence disproving his lone gunman theory.
Posner presents no new evidence, ignores much existing evidence, claims credit for others' work, and misrepresents the statements of witnesses to further his agenda.
Regarding "a picture of him with the gun", the backyard photos are of questionable origin and authenticity. Marina was isolated and pressured by the FBI to admit taking one photo. . .until a second was found. Then a third was found.
She could not remember the date she took the photo(s), and when she did, it was changed several times, never accounting for the vegetation visible versus the season of the session.
As for "he ordered the gun", the postal money order was purchased during a time when Oswald was clocked in at the Depository. The gun was sent to a post office box for A. Hidell, but Oswald was not approved for pick up--and no one observed him picking up the gun.
As for "he left his house on Nov. 22nd with a gun-shaped object wrapped in a blanket", he went to work that morning with a paper-wrapped package he said held curtain rods.
His neighbor who drove him told the FBI the package was 27 inches long, the length of the curtain rods in Ruth Paine's garage, and quite a bit shorter than the shortest piece of a Mannlicher-Carcano rifle even disassembled, some 34 inches.
Frazier's sister Mrs. Randle testified to the Commission the package was 27 inches in length.
The package was wrapped in paper, not a blanket.
As for a "witness" to "Oswald" shooting from the Depository, that would be Howard Brennan, who "was unable to make a positive identification. . . .The Commission, therefore, does not base its conclusion. . . .on Brennan's subsequent certain identification of Lee Harvey Oswald. . . ." [WR 145-146]
Because Brennan did not identify Oswald until he saw Oswald on television.
Believers in the Warren Commission are as certain of Oswald's guilt as they are that Admiral Yamamoto made the "sleeping giant" comment after attacking Pearl Harbor--
Yamamoto never made the comment; it was in the filmscript for Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970).
E. Howard Hunt forged a cable.
