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.

At the time President Kennedy was assassinated, Karl Rove was 12. Lyndon Baines Johnson was 55.
I believe so. Both Kennedys did try to have Castro assassinated.
If the Warren Commission had found Castro responsible that would have forced a war with Cuber, which would have involved the Soviets. This would have distracted from our attempt to control the oil reserves off the coast of Vietnam. (Note that the "oil crisis" started shortly after we lost in Vietnam)
And there is that odd data point that we still do not have diplomatic relations with our former playground, and 4th closest neighbor...
I'll have to check that out..
LOL!
Unfortunately for me, my future son-in-law believes Alex, LOL! His parents still have a portrait of JFK on their mantle. I love ribbing him, it makes my daughter mad, but I just can't seem to help myself. When I called after the SOTU address to talk to my daughter, I apologized for calling so late, telling him I had to wait until "King George" got done speaking, LOL! Silence came from the other end of the phone and then my daughter's voice "MOM, THAT ISN"T FUNNY!". Oh really...then why am I ROTFLMAO?
Jackied did it. She had enough of his philandering. More power to her!
This is b.s. Oswald didn't know Kennedy would be coming to Dallas, let alone his route, when he took the job at the Book Depository. It was a matter of looser being in the "right" place at the right time.
You are completely detached from reality and history. All the interviews with people there and you can still believe in three shooters? Do you subscribe to the Weekly World News too?
Because you are a ravingnutter?
Kennedy tried to get organized crime to take out Castro and Castro found out about it. Castro hated Kennedy because of the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis. Oswald visited Cuba just prior to the assasination. Certainly Castro wasn't grieving when Kennedy got shot.
Whoever was behind it wanted it to look like a Cuban operation; hence Oswald.
By 1963, however, Kennedy had abandoned the Bay of Pigs rebels to their fate and had given the Russians assurances he would not attack Cuba as part of the missile crisis fiasco. The Kennedy's had been outmaneuvered and defeated on Cuba. Kruschev thought Kennedy was a dilettante and generally had his way with him. Why have him bumped off?
I probably should know what this means, but I don't. Could you enlighten me? thanks.
Castro was denied a visa to Cuba. He did not visit the island. He did visit the embassy in Mexico city.
And all of the business they lost when Castro took over Cuba. Kennedy was weak on Cuba, failed to overthrow him and wouldn't try again. The mob was mad because they fixed the election for their friend-Joe Kennedy's son.
