Jean Rene Souetre. (aka Mertz, Michel; Roux, Michel). OAS. Mary Ferrell through FOIA suit 1977 obtained CIA document #632-796 dated April 1, 1964. French Intel claimed Souetre was in Ft. Worth a.m. November 22, 1963, Dallas p.m. Picked up by U.S. authorities and expelled from U.S. within 48 hours of assassination. May have been code-named QJ/WIN part of ZR-RIFLE.

Robert Morrow, a contract CIA man, writes in "First Hand Knowledge" (a new book that is a rewrite of his 1976 work, "Betrayal") that he bought three rifles used in the shooting from Sunny's Surplus in Baltimore. David Ferrie planned the assassination and Clay Shaw was involved. Morrow says one team of assassins was led by a French gunman named John Michael Mertz. Gary Shaw says CIA records indicate that French gunman Jean Souetre was in Dallas on Nov. 22, and was expelled from the country the day after. The FBI says that was another Frenchman named Michel Roux. Souetre used "Roux" as an alias, notes Anthony Summers in "Conspiracy," though Roux is also a real person. Souetre said in 1983 that the man in Dallas was Mertz, using Souetre's name.

So that was QJ/WIN. He was associated with the Corsican Mafia and drawn into this through the CIA/Mafia attempts against Castro.

Those attempts were hidden from both the President and Attorney General and even Dulles' successor at CIA. Harvey lied to RFK about these attempts and continued to run them for months after he was explicitly ordered to stop them.

Apparently these efforts continued until the late summer/early fall of '63. When they finally stopped it looks as though the apparatus was turned around and targeted JFK rather than Castro.

It is important to note that the CIA admitted after the fact that several of the conspirators charged by Garrison were, in fact, connected to the Agency. In Shaw's case for decades. But the quantity of lies told by the FBI and CIA is gigantic.

If you want to read something interesting read Dean Andrews' interview by the Warren Commission particularly his comments of the possibility of LHO being able to do the shooting.

It is also interesting to see the disbelief of those who knew Oswald that he could have done it and to see the number of witnesses who did not think the shots came from the TSBD.
And to catalogue the number of exhibits embarassing to the LoneNut theory which are MISSING. Gee, I wonder why.
