Compelling new evidence of a Cuban Communist role in the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy has come to light, but has received little attention in the U.S. media.
It comes at a time when there has been renewed interest in the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II and the alleged Soviet role behind that.

In the Kennedy matter, the big news comes from a German TV documentary that claims that the Cuban government was behind the assassination of former president John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald. The film is called "Rendezvous With Death," by award winning director Wilfried Huissman. It took five years to make, and reports suggest that it makes a compelling case.
Among those talking on camera is Oscar Marino, a former Cuban intelligence agent. He says that the Cubans wanted Kennedy dead because he had opposed the Cuban revolution, and had tried to have Castro assassinated. Marino told Huissman that he knew for certain that the Cuban secret service G2 had carried out and financed the operation, though he wouldn't say if Castro had directly ordered it. But under Castro's brutal dictatorship, which has endured for nearly half a century, it is not conceivable that this would have happened without his blessing. As Marino described it, Oswald "was so full of hate, he had the idea. We used him."
According to Marino, the Cubans contacted Oswald after being tipped off by their patrons, the Soviet KGB. Oswald had lived there for three years after deserting from the U.S. military. There he married the niece of a KGB colonel. He was allowed to return to the U.S. and bring his wife with him. He continued to call himself a Communist, and demonstrated on behalf of Cuba.

Brokeback Grassy Knoll?
However, I find it interesting that a coverup took place. It appears he was shot by at least 3 shooters not one of them was Lee. The autopsy report was a joke, when you had docs in Dallas that gave different accounts of the actual wounds inflicted on JFK. The direction of those wounds was NOT where Lee was located at.
If one day some one decides to take another look at JFK's remains...will there even be remains in the coffin? I doubt it.
Was Castro prepared to do business with the mafia? They lost a lot of investment when he took over, maybe they were thinking they could make a deal with him and get back into Havana and other rackets with the communists, who needed money for their military and other ambitions....
Except Kennedy's vendetta aginst Castro made Kennedy an impediment to both the mob and Castro. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".
JFK did have a long running affair with the mistress of a mafia boss....so obviously the mob was intersted in accessing Kennedy's inner decisionmaking circle.
I have an original copy of this book. The front page is stamped with the address information for the Barry Goldwater campaign. It's very compelling reading.
I still imagine what would happen if Bob and John came back to life.
Would they want to punch their leftist pinko brother in the face pin him to the ground and spit on him?
I read a great book called Tears of Autumn which speculated that Kennedy's assisination was revenge for the killings of Diem.
It wasn't JFK. Yeah he winked at Carl Albert. Big deal.
Who cares? Gerald Ford was President longer than he was. Tired of hearing how great he was - what did he ever achieve?
err LBJ. Too many initials.
I always thought that the Mafia's motive was thought to be that in spite of them having won Illinois for JKF in '60 (the Chicago fraud stuff),RFK came down hard on them while AG and the assassination was payback for "Kennedy treachery" (my words).
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how a bullet can actually turn around in mid air....
I wish all these people "researching" who killed JFK would spend 1% of their time "researching" how Ted Kennedy got away with killing Mary Jo Kopechne.
At the time of his death, Bobby was highly critical of the war his brother got the U.S. embroiled in. For his part, Jack gave us Thurgood Marshall and Ramsay Clark. I don't think either of them would find Teddy too pink.
I think it was "Landslide Lyndon" all along.
and Kenny
"The Men on the Sixth Floor" is another interesting read, primarily implicating Lyndon's friend Malcolm "Mac" Wallace as complicit.
MM, Kim Novak, Angie Dickinsen, Gene Tierney. . .
Johnson ordered the hit. Castro may have provided the snipers though.
