I know that at the very least the Politically Incorrect Guide to the Vietnam War was released in 2010, and going by what Ultimate Sacrifice’s publishing date was, 2008, more likely than not, if that were true, PIG would have mentioned it. Same deal with the Politically Incorrect Guide to the 1960s, which was released a year after Ultimate Sacrifice, and while I have yet to check to be sure since I need to find the latter first, I’m pretty sure it makes absolutely no mention of any assassination attempts prior to LHO’s one in 1964. And reading through the PIG book about Vietnam, I definitely could not find ANY reference to any prior assassinations of Kennedy (and considering the book saw fit to mention Che Guevara in there, I see no reason why it cannot receive at least one mention, especially when it was obviously released after Ultimate Sacrifice came out).
As far as communist states, I’m pretty sure that, technically, China and the USSR didn’t see eye to eye after the latter cut them off from nuclear weapons development. As far as where that came from, try reading up about the time Pacepa defected to the United States, where he revealed Ceausceau’s “Socialism with a new face” was a big fat lie.
As far as his KGB handlers, I can name one: Valery Kostikov, aka, Kostin, and he met him in Mexico City, weeks before the assassination attempt. At least one other person within the KGB that was likely involved in LHO’s mission was Vitaly Gerasimov, whose name had been in LHO’s wallet at the time of the arrest.
So far as de Mohrenschildt, Pacepa already made it pretty clear he was KGB, and in fact, he actually went by THREE identities. When called back in to retestify, he even committed suicide. And his “historical diary” was also forged by the KGB, as was his claims in “I am a patsy! I am a patsy!” If he was a member of the CIA, it was solely to infiltrate it for the KGB.
As far as who activated the plot, it’s simple, Khrushchev. Even when he tried to have him recalled, it’s not out of a change of heart so much as to avoid any other indications that he arranged for assassinations after one of his assassins got busted in West Germany. Another contender is Fidel Castro, who, BTW, actually knew that the assassination was going to happen.
It takes time to pry these documents from the government even after declassification . So don’t expect all books about them to agree. And some do more research than others.
Since all these events took place in my lifetime there is no need to research the times in general.
Since Kostin was alleged to be KGB assassination director in this hemisphere, the fact that “Oswald” went to the Soviet embassy and asked for him specifically means that he was in no way an agent. A real agent would have never done that but an agent provocateur would. There is no legitimate reason that Oswald knew who he was dealing with, supposedly. He could have been informed of the name by American intelligence. But the idea of an agent would draw attention to his handler like that is dead on its face.
BTW “socialism with a new face” was Dubchek in Czechoslovakia not Ceausceau.
Much of what Pacepa contends has been contradicted by other KGB “defectors” so I am doubtful of all of their information. I will read his book, however.
