Israel the Golden Triangle and the Kennedy AssassinationSalvador AstuciaINTRODUCTIONSynopsisAfter President John F. Kennedy was killed in 1963. America became deeply involved in the Vietnam War. Within a few short years heroin addiction in America reached epidemic proportions. In the background. Israel expanded its borders by force and became a colonial empire ruling a nation of hostile Palestinian subjects. This book reveals how Israel exploited the Western powers' long history of opium trafficking as a means of toppling the young American president. The following points summarize the information presented: Opium was the glue that held together the rivaling factions that conspired to kill JFK. The main factions in the conspiracy were Zionist instigators the American Mafia (headed by Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky and his lieutenant. Santo Trafficante). French-Corsican crime syndicates in Marseilles. France and Southeast Asia and the US military. Heroin smuggling was first introduced in the United States in the 1920s by Jewish gangsters such as Meyer Lansky. "Legs" Diamond and "Dutch" Schultz. One of the reasons President Johnson escalated US involvement in Southeast Asia was because the American Mafia and French-Corsican heroin traffickers needed a new source of opium for their heroin factories. Turkey had been the main source but its government was about to eradicate opium production. Joseph Kennedy. Sr's three sons were viewed as a new American dynasty that threatened Israel's plans to expand its borders. The Kennedy Dynasty would last until 1985 if each son served two terms in the White House. It is widely known that Joseph Kennedy Sr developed a strong loathing of Jews from his business dealings with them in finance. Hollywood and politics. A decree was issued to kill JFK by Nahum Goldmann founder of the World Jewish Congress and its president in 1963. Louis Bloomfield of Montreal was assigned to set up the coup d'état. He was an influential international lawyer with an extensive espionage background (e g.. British intelligence. Haganah. OSS. CIA). Martin Agronsky and other Jewish journalists and media moguls collaborated in the plot by pushing a false cover story that Lee Harvey Oswald alone killed JFK. Right-wing extremists joined the coup initially but broke ranks and declared a holy war against Jews immediately after JFK was killed. The assassins were the lieutenants of French-Corsican heroin trafficker and convicted Nazi collaborator. Auguste Joseph Ricord. He was living in Argentina at the time of the assassination. Later he moved to Paraguay which became a major hub for smuggling heroin into the United States. The assassins were Lucien Sarti. François Chiappe and Jean-Paul Angeletti—all French-Corsicans. Nixon was driven from office because he destroyed Ricord's heroincartel established détente with the Soviet Union withdrew forces from Vietnam and ended the draft. Under Nixon's orders police in Mexico City tried to arrest Lucien Sarti—the man who fatally shot JFK in the head. When Sarti fled. Mexican police opened fire. He died in a hail of bullets on April 27. 1972. JFK made enemies within the military establishment and Israel when he attempted to establish détente with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1963. He also wanted to prevent Israel from acquiring the Bomb. JFK was viewed as a threat to Israel because of pro-Hitler statements he wrote in his 1945 diary (later published) and two books: Why England Slept and Profiles in Courage. President Johnson aggressively supported Israel because he and his wife were secretly Jewish. Texas—a former Spanish colony—became a haven for Sephardic Jews expelled from Spain in 1492. Jewish migration continued from other countries in the 19th and 20th Centuries. Once Kennedy was out of the way. President Johnson began to shift America's foreign policy dramatically. First of all he increased military forces in South Vietnam from 16,000 non-combat advisors to over 500,000 draftees by the time he left office in January 1969. Secondly he joined America and Israel at the hip by increasing financial and military aid and becoming its ally during the Six Day War an aggressive land-grab that was immediately labeled illegal by the United Nations per Resolutions 242 and later 338. Since then one president after another has given Israel virtually everything it wants. During Kennedy's last year in office in 1963 the United States provided a mere $40 million per year to Israel. Within only two years. President Johnson had increased that amount to $130 million per year over three times Kennedy's allowance. Most of the Johnson money was for military buildup. Since Kennedy's death the annual subsidy to Israel has grown into the billions (presently about $3 billion per year) but the Johnson administration marked a true turning point.1 In fact. American aid to Israel has far exceeded the total US payments to reconstruct postwar Europe under the Marshall Plan.2The Truth About the SixtiesFrom the day President Kennedy was killed on November 22. 1963 until Lyndon Baines Johnson stepped down as President in January 1969 the United States government was under siege by hardened criminals carpetbagger politicians war mongering generals and ruthless friends of Israel. Their primary goals were threefold: firstly to fill their pockets with illicit drug money attained from the sale of heroin within the United States and other countries; secondly to prolong the Vietnam War as a means of smuggling opium from Southeast Asia for large-scale production of heroin which was ultimately smuggled back into the United States; and thirdly to quietly support Israel's expansion of its borders into Arab-occupied territories. These three things were the mainstay of American foreign policy throughout the 1960s. The implementers of this policy were the same forces who killed President Kennedy. Martin Luther King. Robert Kennedy. Malcolm X and countless others. Ironically the situation began to change by an unlikely soul. He was a man hated by many for his awkward ways his lack of charisma even the way he looked and talked. He was not a handsome man or a skilled orator. He was a streetwise man who often used vulgar language and privately expressed ethnic slurs in a seemingly bigoted manner. But despite his outward character flaws deep within his spiritual being this man believed strongly in God loved his mother his wife and children and was extremely kind—on a personal level—to almost anyone in need. Unlike President Kennedy this man was not born into wealth; but like Kennedy his former adversary this man had an innate understanding of right and wrong. Richard M. Nixon assumed the Presidency in January 1969. His campaign had included a war on drugs,3 as many presidents have done since; but Nixon evidently took his anti-drug campaign a bit farther than his successors. He went after Auguste Joseph Ricord a French Corsican former Nazi collaborator and international heroin smuggler.4 Ricord was protected by the hardened criminals the carpetbagger politicians the war mongering generals and the ruthless friends of Israel.5 The same forces who had martyred America's finest would stage a bloodless coup against President Nixon for attempting to exorcise the demons from America's possessed soul.6 Nixon's war on drugs was the impetus that led to Ricord's arrest in Paraguay on March 25. 1971.7 A diplomatic tug of war ensued between Paraguay and the United States over custody of the wily heroin kingpin. Consequently. Ricord sat in a jail cell in Tacumbu Penitentiary in Asunción. Paraguay for a year and a half while the two governments disputed his custody. Finally in September 1972 Ricord was extradited to the United States and prosecuted for conspiracy to smuggle narcotics into America.8 On December 16. 1972 he was convicted of that crime and on January 19. 1973 he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and fined $25,000.9 Nixon's pursuit of Auguste Ricord may have been part of a broader plan to end the war in Vietnam. By breaking up the international heroin cartel. Nixon destroyed one of the main reasons for US involvement in Southeast Asia but there were others. He also re- opened relations with China and used that alliance as leverage to establish détente between the United States and the Soviet Union in May of 1972.10 Nixon also increased foreign aid to Israel dramatically; he gave the Jewish State about $1.61 billion from 1971 through 1973. That was a huge increase—approximately the same amount that America had given Israel over its entire 22 year history (from 1948 through 1970).11 By doing this. Nixon divided his Jewish enemies. Essentially he bought them off. Nixon further divided his enemies by pushing for a military victory in Vietnam. In December of 1972 he began a relentless bombing campaign of North Vietnam (known as the "Christmas bombing"). This aggressive approach divided the military and was ultimately used to force North Vietnam into serious negotiations in Paris for a peaceful solution to the war. As a result a peace agreement was soon reached. At that point Nixon withdrew American forces from Vietnam and ended the draft. It is significant that Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union occurred just one month before the Watergate burglary which occurred on June 17. 1972.12 The Soviet Union continued to exist until December 1991,but Nixon essentially ended the Cold War in May of 1972 when he and Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev signed of the SALT I (the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks) agreement. Although Nixon has been judged harshly by many much about his character was revealed in his farewell address to the White House staff on August 9. 1974:… the greatness comes not when things go always good for you but the greatness comes when you are really tested when you take some knocks some disappointments when sadness comes because only if you have been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be at the highest mountain.… We want you to continue to serve in Government if that is your wish. Always give your best never get discouraged never be petty; always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them and then you destroy yourself.… And so we leave with high hopes in good spirit and with deep humility and with very much gratefulness in our hearts. I can only say to each and every one of you we come from many faiths we pray perhaps to different gods but really the same God in a sense but I want to say for each and every one of you not only will we always remember you not only will we always be grateful to you but always you will be in our hearts and you will be in our prayers. Thank you very much. (President Richard M. Nixon13)The story about to be told is not merely about the death of President John F. Kennedy it also answers many questions about President Richard M. Nixon the Watergate Scandal the Vietnam War the Six Day War the corrupt American news media and the continuing Arab-Israeli conflict that ultimately led to terrorist attacks on America on September 11. 2001. The most troubling aspect of this book is the cynical business of opium smuggling by the Western powers something that has been going on for nearly two centuries. In fact the West fought two Opium Wars with China in the 19th Century to force China to import opium.(Footnote 1) As a result. China developed a serious addiction problem which continued until the communists took over in 1949 and banned all narcotics. But the practice went underground in the latter half of the 20th Century.14 Consequently wealthy interests within the Western powers delegated the smuggling of narcotics to international crime syndicates and espionage services.15Furthermore heroin smuggling and prostitution were introduced in the United States in the 1920s by Jewish gangsters such as Meyer Lansky. "Legs" Diamond and "Dutch" Schultz. Those two enterprises had been ignored by the Italian Mafia because of Sicilian traditions which forbade such practices. In the mid-1920s heroin was banned in the United States. In 1930 a Mafia war broke out regarding the illicit sale of narcotics. Over sixty gangsters were killed and a new generation of leaders emerged with little regard for the traditional code of honor. The leader of the new American Mafia was the legendary Lucky Luciano who forged an alliance between the Italian Mafia and Meyer Lansky's Jewish gangs. This alliance survived for almost 40 years and became the dominant characteristic of organized crime in the United States in the 1960s and 70s.16 This book demonstrates that Israel exploited Meyer Lanksy's heroin smuggling connections in the United States and abroad as a means of toppling President Kennedy. To some this book may seem like a painful view of reality; to others it may seem like divine truth; still others may deny the facts completely. Whatever the case may be. I for one have learned that truth is indeed stranger than fiction. The MotivesThe primary motive behind the assassination was Kennedy's efforts to establish détente with the Soviet Union in the spring and summer of 1963; however he was apprehensive about how American Jews and the US military would react to a shift in Cold War policy. He reportedly told Soviet diplomat Andrei Gromyko that there were "two groups of the American population which are not always pleased when relations between our two countries are eased." One was "ideological," the other "of a particular nationality who think that always and under all circumstances the Kremlin will support the Arabs and be an enemy of Israel. This group has effective means for making improvement between our countries very difficult."17In October of 1962 the United states discovered that the Soviet Union had been supplying Cuba with nuclear missiles. A war of nerves ensued between the two superpowers known as the Cuban Missile Crisis. Kennedy insisted that the missiles be removed and ultimately he prevailed; however he was not boastful about his victory. During the crisis the US generals wanted to attack Cuba but Kennedy feared a US assault would escalate into nuclear war. There was a great deal of tension between Kennedy and the military at that time. In fact it is generally accepted among scholars that one of the reasons that the nuclear stalemate ended peacefully is because both Kennedy and Khrushchev feared a military coup might arise against Kennedy if a settlement was not soon reached.18In the months that followed a genuine friendship developed between Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. By the spring of 1963 the two leaders had made great progress towards ending the Cold War limiting the nuclear arms race and signing a nuclear test ban treaty. Right-wing elements within the US military resisted détente for ideological reasons.19 Israel opposed détente as well because they feared the Kremlin and Washington were more interested in Arab oil than a Jewish state located in a barren desert without natural resources or strategic interests of value to either superpower. In short détente would mark the beginning of the end for Israel as a world power because neither superpower had a strategic interest in Israel.20On June 10. 1963. President Kennedy delivered a speech. Strategy of Peace before the graduating class at American University. Many refer to it as "The Peace Speech." The Manchester Guardian called the American University speech "one of the greatest state papers of all time." The speech was the most eloquent and powerful of Kennedy's career; it contained a spiritual ethos with a gripping message of hope for mankind but it was also practical. Here are a few excerpts from the Peace Speech:… What kind of a peace do I mean and what kind of a peace do we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave. I am talking about genuine peace the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and build a better life for their children—not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women—not merely peace in our time but peace for all time. …… I speak of peace because of the new face of war. Total war makes no sense in an age when great powers can maintain large and relatively invulnerable nuclear forces and refuse to surrender without resort to those forces. It makes no sense in an age when a single nuclear weapon contains almost ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied air forces in the Second World War. It makes no sense in an age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and water and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn. … … I am not referring to the absolute infinite concept of peace and good will of which some fantasies and fanatics dream. I do not deny the value of hopes and dreams but we merely invite discouragement and incredulity by making that our only and immediate goal. … …World peace like community peace does not require that each man love his neighbor—it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance submitting their disputes to a just and peaceful settlement. And history teaches us that enmities between nations as between individuals do not last forever. However fixed our likes and dislikes may seem the tide of time and events will often bring surprising changes in the relations between nations and neighbors. So let us persevere. Peace need not be impracticable and war need not be inevitable. By defining our goal more clearly by making it seem more manageable and less remote we can help all peoples to see it to draw hope from it and to move irresistibly toward it. …In short both the United States and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies have a mutually deep interest in a just and genuine peace and in halting the arms race. Agreements to this end are in the interests of the Soviet Union as well as ours—and even the most hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty obligations and only those treaty obligations which are in their own interest. So let us not be blind to our differences—but let us also direct attention to our common interests and to the means by which those differences can be resolved. And if we cannot end now our differences at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For in the final analysis our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal. …The United States as the world knows will never start a war. We do not want a war. We do not now expect a war. This generation of Americans has already had enough—more than enough—of war and hate and oppression. We shall be prepared if others wish it. We shall be alert to try to stop it. But we shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. Confident and unafraid we must labor on—not toward a strategy of annihilation but toward a strategy of peace. [END](JFK. American University. June 10. 1963)On June 16. 1963 six days after Kennedy's American Universityspeech. David Ben-Gurion resigned as prime minister of Israel. Michael Collins Piper suggested in his book. Final Judgment that Ben-Gurion resigned in order to go underground and carry out Kennedy'sassassination. It is my suspicion however that Nahum Goldmann(president of the World Jewish Congress) issued the order to killKennedy immediately after the American University speech. I furthersuspect that Ben-Gurion was personally moved by Kennedy's eloquentwords and refused to participate in the plot to kill him. Ben-Gurionmay have had an epiphany of sorts after hearing or reading Kennedy'sspeech and was apparently overcome with shame at the thought ofplotting to kill such a wise man. In his later years. Ben-Gurionrenounced Zionism stating. "I'm no longer a Zionist. I'm no longer aSocialist. I don't belong to Histadrut. I resigned from theKnesset."21There were other motives for the assassination besides Kennedy's ColdWar policy. To fully understand Israel's motivation for killingKennedy it helps to understand Israel's overall strategy. Israelischolar and publisher Simha Flapan explained that expansion wasalways Israel's main objective. With respect to the originalpartition plan in 1948. Flapan stated that "acceptance of the UNPartition Resolution was an example of Zionist pragmatism parexcellance. It was a tactical acceptance a vital step in the rightdirection—a springboard for expansion when circumstances proved morejudicious."22In essence. Simha Flapan was saying that the founding fathers ofIsrael had planned to violate UN treaties from the day Israel wasfounded in 1948. The breaking of vows—Jews recite a prayer called theKol Nidre (all vows) on the eve of Yom Kippur which sanctifies thebreaking of vows for the ensuing year23—has been a controversial partof the Jewish culture for centuries. In fact most Rabbis omitted theKol Nidre from Yom Kippur services in the 19th Century because of itscontroversial nature but it was reinstated in 1945.24Having stated that. I believe most fair-minded students of MiddleEastern history would agree that Israel had the following five-pointstrategy in 1963: Israel planned to expand its borders by force. Israel wanted the Cold War to continue (as Gromyko pointed out). In other words. Israel did not want détente between the twosuperpowers. Israel wanted the Bomb. Israel wanted to weaken Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasserbecause he was a lightning rod for Arab unity. Israel wanted to divide the Arab nations. None of these five points could be achieved with a Kennedy in theWhite House. The Israelis distrusted President Kennedy because of hisfather. It is widely known that Joseph Kennedy Sr developed a strongloathing of Jews from his business dealings with them in finance,Hollywood and politics. And the elder Kennedy had groomed four sonsfor the White House but his oldest—Joe. Jr—had been killed in WorldWar II. President Kennedy's inauguration in January 1961 marked thebeginning of a dynasty that would likely continue until 1985 (afterthe three surviving sons had each completed two terms). With this background information it becomes clear that there was oneprimary motive for the assassination: to destroy the Kennedy Dynasty. The reason Israel acted when they did was because Kennedy was on theverge of ending the Cold War. He was also making plans to preventthem from acquiring the Bomb. This called for a drastic response. Destroying the Kennedy dynasty would allow Israel to continue itsannexation program thereby acquiring more Arab land something thatwould be impossible while a Kennedy was in the White House. Theculmination of Israel's expansion was the Six Day War in June 1967. Had the Kennedy Dynasty not been destroyed this could not haveoccurred until at least 1985. This is not to suggest necessarily thatprecise planning for the Six Day Way was underway in 1963; however,it is widely accepted that Israel planned to expand its borders sinceits founding in 1948 as Simha Flapan observed. This explains why Bobby Kennedy was assassinated on June 5. 1968 ina similar style as John. But despite stories that Bobby's "alleged"assassin—Sirhan Sirhan a Palestinian immigrant—hated him because ofhis loyalty to Israel in reality Bobby Kennedy was not supported byAmerican Jews in his 1968 presidential campaign.25 A year later Ted'spolitical career was nearly destroyed when he "accidentally" drovehis car off an unmarked bridge on Chappaquiddick Island nearMartha's Vineyard. Massachusetts and his companion in the car. 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne was drowned. In fact. Joe Kennedy Sr believed President Roosevelt was responsiblefor the death of his oldest son. Joe Jr. Kennedy believed thatRoosevelt reviewed the order to send his son on a high-risk bombingmission over France in which Joe Jr was killed. During the 1944presidential campaign. Kennedy asked Senator Harry S. Truman,Roosevelt's running mate. "Harry what the hell are you doingcampaigning for that crippled son of a bitch that killed my sonJoe?"26Truman responded. "If you say another word about Roosevelt. I'm goingto throw you out the window."27 Obviously there was no love lostbetween Truman and Kennedy either. At this point we have established two reasons why friends of Israelwanted to assassination President Kennedy: (a) to prevent détentebetween the United States and the Soviet Union and (b) to destroythe Kennedy Dynasty. But there were several other motives. First all in 1945 a young Jack Kennedy wrote the following words inhis diary in praise of Adolf Hitler:After visiting these two places (Berchtesgaden and the Eagle's lairon Obersalzberg) you can easily understand how that within a fewyears Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now asone of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundlessambitions for his country which rendered him a menace to the peace ofthe world but he had a mystery about him in the way that he livedand in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. Hehad in him the stuff of which legends are made.(Prelude To Leadership - The European Diary of John F. Kennedy,Summer 1945. Regnery Publishing. Inc.. Washington DC p. 74)Second point: In 1940 John Kennedy wrote a book. Why England Slept,which explored why Neville Chamberlain's Britain was unprepared forwar with Hitler's Germany. The book appears to be a fair-mindedanalysis; however it was a sensitive topic because Chamberlain wasactually pro-Hitler. Consequently even a balanced analysis ofChamberlain's leadership would be frowned upon by influential friendsof Israel. In Why England Slept. Kennedy made the bold observation that SirArthur Balfour had essentially recanted the spirit the BalfourDeclaration a brief document officially authored by Balfour in 1917and bore his name.(Footnote 2) The Balfour Declaration stated thefollowing:His Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment inPalestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will usetheir best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object itbeing clearly understood that nothing shall be done which mayprejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewishcommunities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyedby Jews in any other country.(Balfour Declaration. November 2. 1917)In Why England Slept. Kennedy pointed out that that Sir Balfour'sopinion had changed considerably between 1917 and 1933. Kennedy wrotethe following:In reading statements like that of Sir Arthur Balfour. Chairman ofthe Balfour Steel Company made in 1933. "One of the gravest menacesto peace today is the totally unarmed condition of Germany," weshould not dismiss it as being blindly stupid. We must remember thatin the summer of 1939 a sufficient number of the Senate of the UnitedStates believed there would not be a war in Europe this year andrefused to repeal the embargo on arms. Every country makes greaterrors and there is usually a good reason for it at the time. Wemust also remember that we are looking at the problem from thevantage point of 1940. In reading statements like Balfour's we shouldtry to realize that in 1933 the facts may have appeared to warrant anentirely different interpretation.(Why England Slept. JFK. 1940. Introduction page xxv)Sir Balfour's cited statement from 1933 indicates that he wasobviously pro-German. This is significant because Hitler becamechancellor (Kanzler) and Führer of Germany in 1933 and everyoneknows that Hitler was anti-Jewish from the beginning. Therefore bymaking pro-German statements the very year that Hitler rose to powerin Germany. Balfour was in effect reneging on the terms of theBalfour Declaration which committed Britain's support to Palestine asa Jewish homeland. Kennedy had subtly pointed that fact out toinformed readers of his book.(Footnote 3)Third point: In 1956 then-Senator Kennedy indirectly criticized theNuremberg Trials by naming Senator Robert Taft as a courageousprofile in the acclaimed book. Profiles in Courage. Kennedy citedTaft for the "courageous act" of criticizing the Nuremberg Trialswhile they were in progress in 1946. Fourth point: In July 1957. Senator Kennedy made the front page ofthe New York Times when he delivered a speech on the Senate floordenouncing French colonial occupation of Algeria. When Algeria wasgiven independence in 1962 it became another Arab nation. In theeyes of Zionists this posed yet another threat to Israel'sexistence. In Kennedy's speech he also criticized French brutalityin the French Algerian War. By supporting independence for Algeria,Kennedy had indirectly aligned himself with Israel's nemesis,Egyptian President Nasser. In the Arab world. Nasser was ascharismatic as Kennedy later became in the West. Nasser openlypromoted pan-Arab policies which garnered admiration among most Arableaders and the Arab people. Nasser had publicly endorsed Algerianindependence from France a position that would unite France withIsrael against Egypt in the Suez Crisis of 1956. Fifth point: Both Kennedy and Khrushchev had stronger ties withEgyptian President Nasser than with Israel. Their befriending ofNasser a living icon symbolizing Arab unity was a signal to Israelthat both superpowers had more interest in the Arab world than inIsrael's continued existence as a Jewish homeland let alone itsexpansion into neighboring Arab territories. Sixth point: President Kennedy had voiced strong albeit private,opposition to Israel's development of the Bomb. The KennedyAdministration was well-aware of Israel's nuclear reactor in Dimona. In fact. Kennedy and Ben-Gurion got into a heated personal exchangeover that issue. Kennedy was concerned about Israel's nuclearcapabilities and made a secret deal for regular American inspectionsof the nuclear reactor in Dimona in exchange for Hawk antiaircraftmissiles something that Ben-Gurion wanted. Ben-Gurion allowed aninspection once but it was a deception. The Dimona facility wasdisguised to look like a nuclear power plant but the CIA advisedKennedy that this was not the case and advised the President to pushfor further inspections. Kennedy followed their advise. HistorianMichael Beschloss wrote that "in the fall of 1963. Kennedy and Ruskwere indeed casting about for some kind of cooperation with theRussians to keep Israel from going nuclear."28After Ben-Gurion resigned as prime minister in June 1963 he wasreplaced by Levi Eshkol. On July 5. 1963. President Kennedy sent astrongly worded communiqué to Eshkol that American commitment andsupport of Israel "could be seriously jeopardized" if Israel did notlet the United States obtain "reliable information" about Israel'sefforts in the nuclear field. (Reference Appendix A for a transcriptof the letter.)Seventh point: The Yemen War (the forgotten war) was another reasonthe Israelis disliked Kennedy. His strategy in that war was tomaintain Arab unity; however part of Israel's five-point strategywas to divide the Arab nations. The Yemen War is largely undocumentedby Western historians but President Kennedy became entangled in acivil war in Yemen which was still in progress when he was killed. Initially the Yemen War pitted Egypt and the United States againstSaudi Arabia. Jordan and Great Britain. Confusion erupted in Yemen following the death—of natural causes—ofits leader. Imam Ahmed on September 18. 1962. Imam Ahmed was anextraordinary but archaic man with the same values of rulers from theMiddle Ages. He was succeeded by his son. Prince Mohammed al-Badr;however the younger Imam was even more eccentric than his father. While on official delegations he would stop and climb trees and siton a tree branch indefinitely. Clearly he was not suited to rule anation in the Twentieth Century. Within a week after the father died,the Prince was overthrown by Colonel Abdullah al Salal a commanderof the Royal Guard. The Colonel had been imprisoned for five years bythe elder Imam and had endured inhuman living conditions whileincarcerated.29Badr escaped to the mountains and rallied loyal tribesmen to hiscause launching an armed struggle to regain the throne. He receivedgenerous assistance from two monarchs the kings of Jordan and SaudiArabia. Salal sent an emissary to Egypt who asked Nasser for help. Wanting to get Yemen out of the Middle Ages. Nasser sent troops toYemen to support the new republican government. Nasser's support wasimportant and understandable. He was not only the president of Egypt,but a charismatic advocate of the pan-Arab movement who strove tomaintain solidarity among Arab nations.30 This made him the arch-enemy of friends of Israel since their goals were to divide andconquer Arab nations and expand its borders into their territories. Kennedy's primary interest in Yemen was to hold the coalition ofIslamic states together and deal with the conflict as a civil war. Heencouraged the Yemenite government to resolve its problems internallywithout support from outside nations. Consequently he encouraged allArab nations—Jordan. Saudi Arabia and Egypt—to withdraw militaryforces from Yemen.31 Kennedy's policy of encouraging solidarity amongArab nations during the Yemen conflict was likely another reason whyfriends of Israel wanted him killed. Israel has always wanted todivide not unite the Arab nations. With Kennedy out of the way theArab coalition became much weaker as the Israelis planned theirefforts to expand its borders. In addition. Nasser's influencediminished greatly. This was largely due to Egypt's prolongedinvolvement the Yemen War. The following is historian William Cleveland's description of howsolidarity among Islamic States was obliterated by the Yemen War:By 1965 nearly 70,000 Egyptian troops were engaged on the side of themilitary regime in Yemen. Bogged down in difficult terrain andharassed by guerrillas the Egyptian forces suffered heavy losses andwere finally withdrawn in 1968. In this case. Egypt's interventiondivided Arab loyalties instead of unifying them; it presented thespectacle of Arab fighting Arab and of the heads of state of SaudiArabia and Egypt hurling insults at one another.(William Cleveland. A History of the Modern Middle East p. 296)To summarize the motives friends of Israel had no use for JosephKennedy. Sr or any of his sons because of the elder Kennedy's well-known dislike of Jews. And John Kennedy had displayed similar viewsthroughout his adult life. But it was the young president's effortsto end the Cold War to prevent Israel from acquiring the Bomb andhis efforts to maintain Arab unity in the Yemen war that made pro-Israel forces decide to stage a coup d'état in the fall of 1963. The Plot Against KennedyAfter years of research. I have developed the following scenario ofhow the plot against President Kennedy was conceived and accomplished:I believe the assassination was decreed by Nahum Goldmann founder ofthe World Jewish Congress and its president in 1963 after takingcounsel from influential friends of Israel. They likely included butwere not limited to the following individuals: David Ben-Gurion. Prime Minister of Israel and head of the MapaiParty (1948-53 & 1955-63) Levi Eshkol. Prime Minister of Israel and head of the Mapai-LabourParty (1963-69) Golda Meir. Prime Minister of Israel and head of the Labour Party(1969-74) Menachem Begin former commander of the terrorist organization,Irgun Zvai Leumi (Hebrew: National Military Organization). PrimeMinister of Israel and head of the Likud Party (1977-83) Yitzhak Shamir former member of the terrorist organization knownas the Stern Gang also a former member of Irgun Zvai Leumi. PrimeMinister of Israel and head of the Likud Party (1983-84 & 1986-92) Yitzhak Rabin. Prime Minister of Israel and head of the LabourParty (1974-77 & 1992-95) Samuel Bronfman billionaire businessman former bootlegger ownerof Seagram-Distillers Corporation; resided in Montreal Louis Bloomfield international lawyer (and Bronfman's attorney),contractor for the CIA and FBI formerly a British Intelligenceofficer who served in Palestine under the command of General CharlesOrde Wingate training Haganah soldiers during the Arab Revolt in the1930s; resided in Montreal Bernard Bloomfield (brother of Louis) influential businessman;resided in MontrealOne can easily see Goldmann speaking not only for himself but asPresident of the World Jewish Congress that year prophesing thatPresident Kennedy should die for the nation of Israel. And his deathwould not only be for that nation but for all friends of Israelscattered abroad.>From that day forth they plotted to kill him. Louis Bloomfield was directed to manage the assassination. And he didso with the full knowledge and support of Lyndon Baines Johnson andJ. Edgar Hoover. In 1963 the top underworld figure in the American Mafia was Jewishmob leader Meyer Lansky.32 In addition to heroin. Lansky had majorinterests in gambling especially in Florida pre-Castro Cuba theBahamas and Las Vegas.33 Santo Trafficante was one of Lanksy's chieflieutenants34 who controlled the Florida-Cuba-Bahamas corridor. Bloomfield met with Lansky about hiring assassins. It was agreed thatthe Guerini Family a leading French-Corsican crime family wouldprovide the hit men.35 This was a logical choice since the CIA had along history with the Guerini Family since the late 1940s.36 Theassassins chosen were close associates of Auguste Joseph Ricord aFrench-Corsican gangster living in Argentina after being convicted ofcollaborating with the Third Reich and sentenced to death in absentiaby the Permanent Military Court of Paris. Their names were LucienSarti. François Chiappe and Jean-Paul Angeletti; originally fromMarseilles. France. A fourth man. Christian David was also offeredthe contract but he refused. David and the three hit men eventuallybecame Ricord's lieutenants when he emerged as the number onesmuggler of heroin into the United States in the late 1960s and early70s.37Bloomfield knew that the American Mafia and the French-Corsicansyndicates of Marseilles were looking for a new source of heroin andmorphine base because their previous source the Mediterranean Basin,had developed insurmountable problems.38 Faced with the prospect ofeither finding a new source or going out of business. Bloomfieldhelped them establish Southeast Asia as a primary source.39 Links hadalready been established between Corsican gangsters in Marseilles andthose in Southeast Asia during the First Indochina War (1946-1954),but the relationship needed to be strengthened.40A deal was apparently struck—brokered by Bloomfield—between theAmerican Mafia the Corsican syndicates of Marseilles and theirassociates in Southeast Asia. If the gangsters would kill Kennedy,Bloomfield would have Kennedy's replacement. President Johnson,escalate American involvement in the Vietnam War. In addition thenew president would instruct key generals to assist the Corsicans inSaigon in their drug smuggling efforts. An important military figurewas General Edward G. Lansdale who admitted in a 1971 interview thathe met with the Corsican drug traffickers in 1965 where a "truce" wasmade.41 In other words in exchange for killing Kennedy. Americawould wage an opium war in Vietnam in order to supply the AmericanMafia and the Corsican syndicates of Marseilles with a new source ofheroin and morphine base. It appears that Bloomfield also assisted the heroin traffickers inlaundering large sums of money generated from the criminalenterprise. Being a skilled lawyer. Bloomfield apparently set up fakecorporations42 in order to funnel heroin money into numerous banksthroughout the world.43 The proceeds from the narcotics enterprisewould be divided among the participants by channeling the illicitdrug money to appropriate bank accounts. Bloomfield would also usethis vast international criminal enterprise to finance assassinationsof other political figures. Such targets included assassinationattempts on French President Charles de Gaulle44 and the murder ofMoroccan political exile Mehdi Ben Barka.45 Both men supportedAlgerian independence,46 as did John Kennedy when—as a United StatesSenator—he made a controversial speech in support of Algerianindependence.47 Israel was opposed to granting Algeria itsindependence because it would mean the establishment of anotherIslamic state. The AssassinationIn the fall of 1963 the three assassins were flown from Marseillesto Mexico City where they spent some three or four weeks at the houseof a contact. They were then driven from Mexico City to the US borderat Brownsville. Texas. They crossed the border using Italianpassports. They were picked up on the American side of the border atBrownsville by a representative of the Chicago Mafia with whom theyconversed in Italian. They were then driven to Dallas and put up in asafehouse which had been prepared for them so as not to leave hotelrecords. They spent several days taking photographs of Dealey Plaza,and in the evenings at the safehouse they studied the photographs andthey arranged a "crossfire" with three guns.48On November 22 shortly before the presidential motorcade drovethrough Dallas the assassins were driven to Dealey Plaza. Chiappiand Angeletti took their positions in two office buildings; one washigh one was low. Sarti stood behind a picket fence on top of a hillnear the middle of Elm Street his rifle loaded with explodingbullets. He was disguised as a policeman. As the limousine approachedthe center of Elm Street one shot was fired from a lower-level windowof the Dal-Tex building directly behind the car; a bullet struckKennedy in the back of the neck.49 He clutched his throat with bothhands his elbows raised high.50 Four seconds later,51 a second shotrang out from an upper-level window of the Texas School BookDepository hitting Texas Governor John Connally in the back,52 abovehis right armpit; his torso was turned to the right as he wasstruck.53 He sustained five wounds from one bullet each wound beingto the left and below the previous. He was sitting directly in frontof Kennedy.54One second later55 Sarti fired from behind the picket fence hittingKennedy in the right temple slamming his body backward and to theleft then slumping sideways in the seat. The bone in his righttemple fell beside his ear as the back of his head exploded.56 He wasdeclared legally dead shortly thereafter. A fourth shot was fired that missed the car completely but grazedonlooker James Teague in the cheek;57 it was fired simultaneouslywith one of the other shots.58The Framing of OswaldWithin hours a low-level intelligence officer who worked for theUnited States government was arrested and subsequently charged withthe murder of President Kennedy. His name was Lee Harvey Oswald; hewas also accused of shooting Dallas police officer Jefferson DavisTippet shortly after Kennedy was killed. Oswald was completely innocent.59 Bloomfield had used him as a patsy,a scapegoat to throw the public off the trail of the trueassassins.60 Under Bloomfield's direction. Oswald's associates andhandlers had given him assignments for months designed to self-incriminate.61 While living in New Orleans in the summer of 1963 hishandlers were Guy Banister62 and Clay Shaw63 (aka. Clay Bertrand) whoreported directly to Bloomfield.64 One of Oswald's associates wasDavid Ferrie an eccentric homosexual and professional pilot.65Ferrie had flown the assassins from Dallas to Montreal in a privateplane several days after the assassination.66 From there Bloomfieldarranged to have them flown back to Marseilles. France.67Two days after the assassination. Oswald was shot and killed by JackRuby a Dallas clubowner with links to Meyer Lansky68 and other mobfigures; he had also worked as an FBI informant. Ruby was part of theconspiracy; eye-witnesses saw him in compromising situations on theday Kennedy was killed. Julia Ann Mercer testified before the WarrenCommission—her testimony was later illegally altered—that she saw ayoung man with a rifle dismount from a pickup truck driven by JackRuby at Dealy Plaza about an hour before the assassination.69 Whilein custody. Oswald had not cooperated with the conspirators and itwas decided that he must be killed. Ruby's handlers advised him tokill Oswald or be implicated in Kennedy's murder as well.70 This wasdone under the direction of Bloomfield. The Warren CommissionUpon assuming the presidency. Johnson immediately formed a commissionostensibly to investigate the assassination but the real agenda wasto cover-up the truth from the American public. It was named the TheWarren Commission after its distinguished chairman. Chief JusticeEarl Warren. After months of research the commission issued a reportwhich concluded that Oswald had acted alone and there was not aconspiracy. A large percentage of the commission's members however were Jewish;not as ranking members but as assistant counsel and staff members. The following is a complete listing of the members of the WarrenCommission:Ranking MembersChief Justice Earl Warren. ChairmanSenator Richard B. RussellSenator John Sherman CooperRepresentative Hale BoggsRepresentative Gerald R. FordMr. Allen W. Dulles (former CIA director fired by Kennedy)Mr. John J. McCloyJ. Lee Rankin. General CounselAssistant CounselFrancis W. H. AdamsJoseph A. BallDavid W. BelinWilliam T. Coleman. Jr. Melvin Aron EisenbergBurt W. GriffinLeon D. Hubert. Jr. Albert E. Jenner. Jr. Wesley J.

MoskJohn J. O'brienStuart PollakAlfredda ScobeyCharles N. Shaffer. Jr. Lloyd L. WeinrebCommission Attorneys David Belin and Arlen SpecterTwo Jewish assistant counsels for the Warren Commission. David Belinand Arlen Specter rose to prominence in the years following theassassination. Belin wrote books and made numerous talk showappearances endorsing the Warren Report. As assistant counsel. Belinhad a gift for changing the subject when questioning witnesses aboutto reveal important information. In other words his task wasapparently to prevent the crime from being solved. For example. Belinquestioned Dallas Police officer. Sergeant D. V. Harkness who toldBelin (under oath) that he saw several strangers using a departingtrain to leave the area where President Kennedy had just beenmurdered. Belin responded:"I want to go back to this Amos Euins. Do you remember what he saidto you and what you said to him when you first saw him?"71Amos Euins was another witness who had nothing to do with trains orthe grassy knoll. Belin was clearly changing the subject. Arlen Specter authored the portion of the Warren Report that criticscall the "Magic Bullet Theory." Years later Specter was elected USSenator representing Pennsylvania for the Republican Party. In 1994,Specter chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee after theRepublicans had won control of the Senate in the fall elections. TheSenate Intelligence Committee provides oversight of all USintelligence services including the CIA and FBI. In fact. Specterchaired the powerful oversight committee when the Murrah Building inOklahoma City was bombed on April 19. 1995. There is strong evidenceto suggest that Israel was behind the bombing of the Murrah Buildingas well. That act of terrorism was not unlike the bombing of the KingDavid Hotel in Jerusalem by Jewish extremists on July 22. 1946. Bothtopics are discussed later. The Means: Division Five and PermindexJ. Edgar Hoover allowed Bloomfield to run what is known as FBIDivision Five an "independent" covert enterprise set up by Hooverand William Sullivan. Division Five was not an official part of thegovernment although many of its leaders held high-ranking officialpositions. This was the mechanism Bloomfield used to stage the coupagainst Kennedy. Lyndon Johnson was fully aware of Division Five andwas an active participant with Bloomfield and Hoover in setting upthe coup.72It should be noted that William Sullivan co-founder of DivisionFive was shot and killed with a high-powered rifle near his home inNew Hampshire in November 1977. Sullivan had just completed apreliminary meeting with investigators for the House Select Committeeon Assassinations. The man who shot him was the son of a statepoliceman and claimed to have mistaken Sullivan for a deer. He wasarrested charged with a misdemeanor—"shooting a human being byaccident"—and released into the custody of his father. No furtherinvestigation was ever done.73 In addition. Sullivan was finishing anexposé on Hoover's FBI with journalist Bill Brown when he waskilled. Two years later. Brown published Sullivan's book entitled,The Bureau: My Thirty Years in Hoover's FBI. It was a majorindictment of J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson. Divison Five was apparently given that name because it managed spynetworks within five different political/military groups. WithBloomfield managing those five groups a more accurate name wouldhave been Division Six because he added Israel's interests to theoverall agenda. He added a sixth layer. Permindex a dummy tradecorporation used to finance Israeli espionage and politicalassassinations. In addition Permindex was a tool for launderingillicit heroin money for American and French-Corsican-Latino crimesyndicates. By combining Permindex with Hoover's Division Five. Bloomfield hadcontrol of the following six intelligence units: The Security Division of NASA (National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration) – This group represented the munitions industry. Theywere opposed to Kennedy because he was trying to make peace with theSoviets and end the Cold War. Since the Security Division was in thewar business. Kennedy was of no value to them. He was a threat tothem financially. NASA was used mainly as a cover because theAmerican public associated it with space travel. In fact thesecurity division of NASA was headquartered at the Defense IndustrialSecurity Command (DISC) in Alabama and Ohio. DISC was the police andespionage agency for US munitions makers. The Solidarists – This group represented Jewish exiles from Russiaand Eastern Europe. The American Council of Christian Churches – This group supportedright-wing political agendas mixed with Evangelical Christianity. Thelatter supported the state of Israel for religious purposes. The ACCCalso had operatives in right-wing extremist groups like the Ku KluxKlan and the John Birch Society. The common thread who supportedIsrael. The Free Cuba Committee – This group consisted of anti-Communistextremists who opposed Castro. The Syndicate – US mobsters with gambling casinos in Havana. Cubaand the Caribbean; headed by Meyer Lansky and his lieutenant SantoTrafficante. Permindex – A dummy trade corporation created by Bloomfield tofinance covert activity internationally for the state of Israel; alsoused to launder illicit heroin profits for American and French-Corsican-Latino crime syndicates. This was separate from the FBI'sDivision Five but since it was run by Bloomfield it was a de factoleg of the Division Five intelligence network.74Joseph Milteer Corroborated Jewish ConspiracyJoseph Milteer was a wealthy southerner from Georgia with right-wingextremist political beliefs. He was an active member of theConstitutional America Party and had acquaintances in the Ku KluxKlan.75 His politics were a mixture of ultra-right extremism mixedwith Evangelical Christianity which included the belief inArmageddon. Evangelicals believe Jews are needed to establish aJewish state so that Jesus will return gather all Jews in Israel,and build a Temple. The world would then end and practically all theJews would be killed at Armageddon. The few Jewish survivors wouldconvert to Christianity.76Evangelical ministers Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are both bigsupporters of Israel because of their belief in Armageddon. Robertsonin particular is a big believer in Armageddon. The bizarre thingabout Evangelicals is they do not hesitate to encourage Jewishconversion to Christianity; however they also feel that Jews areneeded in order to fulfill the scriptures. When Menachem Begin was cautioned that Evangelical aid was providedto Israel only because they believed that a new Jewish state wasneeded for the second coming of Jesus and the conversion of Jews toChristianity he reportedly responded: "I tell you if the ChristianFundamentalists support us in Congress today. I will support themwhen the Messiah comes tomorrow."77On November 9. 1963. Miami police informant William Somersett metwith Joseph Milteer who proceeded to outline the assassination ofPresident Kennedy. Milteer stated that Kennedy would be shot "from anoffice building with a high-powered rifle," and "they will picksomebody up within hours afterwards if anything like that wouldhappen just to throw the public off."78 This was thirteen daysbefore Kennedy was assassinated. Milteer definitely knew what he wastalking about. On November 23. 1963 the day after Kennedy was shot. Milteer metwith Somersett again and stated that there was a "Communistconspiracy by Jews to overthrow the United States."79 He furtherstated that Martin Luther King and Attorney General Kennedy were nowunimportant but the next move would be against "the big Jew."80This information is extremely important because Milteer was clearly aman with prior knowledge about the plans to kill President Kennedy. Despite his extremist politics. Milteer was a person to be takenseriously. His comment about Martin Luther King. Robert Kennedy,and "the big Jew" tells us three things. First his reference to "thebig Jew" corroborates my thesis that one Jewish individual—likelyLouis Bloomfield—ran the coup against Kennedy. Second it revealsthat right-wing extremists had broken ranks with the Jewish-led coupimmediately after Kennedy was killed. Apparently. Milteer and hisassociates had made a pact with Bloomfield to support the coup whilethey secretly plotted to kill him—Bloomfield—after Kennedy wasexecuted. Third it suggests that contingency plans were in place in1963—by the right-wing extremists—to kill Martin Luther King andRobert Kennedy. Further evidence indicates that Milteer personally declared a right-wing war on the Jews. On November 24 just two days after Kennedy waskilled. Milteer apparently delivered a speech before theConstitutional American Party at Columbia. South Carolina. Hereportedly made the following statements:… to all Christians: The Zionist Jews killed Christ 2000 years agoand on November 22. 1963 they killed President Kennedy. You Jewskilled the President. We are going to kill you.81Such an action against Jews was not surprising in light of theorigins of the Ku Klux Klan. Originally formed in Nashville,Tennessee in 1867 by Confederate cavalry general Nathan BedfordForrest the Klan disappeared by 1882 because its original objective—the restoration of white supremacy throughout the South—had largelybeen achieved during the 1870s. In addition. Forrest had ordered itdisbanded in 1869 because of the group's excessive violence.82The second wave of Klan activity began when it was reorganized in1915 not because of strong anti-black sentiment but because whiteProtestants in small-town America felt threatened by the Bolshevikrevolution in Russia and by the large-scale immigration of theprevious decades that had changed the ethnic character of Americansociety.83Milteer's call to arms against Jews may have intensified hatred bythe Ku Klux Klan against Jews and blacks alike in its opposition tothe Civil Rights movement. On June 21. 1964 three civil rightsworkers—Michael Schwerner. Andrew Goodman and James Earl Chaney—wereabducted and killed by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi. Two of thosemen were Jewish; only one was African-American. Their abductionoccurred just seven months after Kennedy's assassination. As soon as the three workers turned up missing. President Johnson andJ. Hoover launched a massive investigation. The fate of the three menwas uncertain but their disappearance provided the final impetusneeded for the 1964 Civil Rights Act to pass. The bodies of Goodman,Schwerner and Chaney were found five weeks later buried in a muddam. Eventually. 19 men including the county sheriff and a deputy,were convicted of federal conspiracy charges in connection with themurders. On the surface. Johnson and Hoover seemed courageous in their fightagainst right-wing extremists; but in reality they had plottedjointly with the same forces to kill Kennedy. The chickens had indeedcome home to roost. George Wallace and Curtis LeMayDid Joseph Milteer have enough influence—even within his group ofright-wing extremists—to declare a war against Jews? As it turns out,he may have had assistance from at least one prominent politician,namely Alabama Governor George Wallace who was friendly with right-wing General Curtis LeMay a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff inthe Kennedy administration. LeMay was a hawkish adversary ofKennedy's during the Cuban Missile Crisis.84 Their animosity towardone another has been widely documented. The Constitutional American Party—the group that Milteer reportedlyaddressed on November 24. 1963 when he declared war on the Jews—laterevolved into Wallace's third-party. The American Independent Party,when he ran for president in 1968.85 General LeMay was his runningmate. George Wallace loathed the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther Kingbecause they shamed him in June 1963 during a standoff at theUniversity of Alabama where Wallace stood in the doorway to blockenrollment of black students. Under President Kennedy's direction,Bobby Kennedy called out the Georgian National Guard who forcedWallace to step aside. Martin Luther King was in the middle of theconflict as well. In fact he solicited the aid of the Kennedybrothers to deal with Wallace. Wallace wanted to be president badly probably more than LyndonJohnson. And he would not have a chance until 1985 when the KennedyDynasty was over (after John. Bobby and Ted had each served twoterms). LeMay was one of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the Kennedyadministration. He was an ardent cold warrior and partly for thisreason his tenure as chief was neither successful nor happy. LeMayfound himself at constant odds with the management policies ofDefense Secretary Robert McNamara and the "flexible response"military strategy of Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General MaxwellTaylor.86Kennedy's relationship with the military was strained,87 to say theleast but he and Lemay displayed mutual contempt for one another. Kennedy once remarked after one his many walkouts on the General. "Idon't want that man near me again."88LeMay was one of the generals who put heavy pressure on Kennedy toattack Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Having been ill-advisedonce before by the Joint Chiefs during the Bay of Pigs Invasion,Kennedy was not willing to make the same mistake twice. Heremarked. "Those sons of bitches with all the fruit salad just satthere nodding saying it would work."89In his four years as chief. LeMay argued vigorously for new airweapons like the B70 bomber and the Skybolt missile and against theswingwing "fighter" plane the General Dynamics TFX (later named theF111). He lost all these battles. In addition. LeMay had strongfeelings regarding American involvement in Vietnam arguing againstthe gradual response advocated by the Administration. Once again hewas ignored.90Lemay was in effect arguing on behalf of the munitions industry. Aspreviously stated the munitions industry was represented in Hoover'sDivision Five the powerful intelligence apparatus used by LouisBloomfield to orchestrate the coup against Kennedy. Morespecifically the munitions industry was represented within DivisionFive under the auspices of the Security Division of NASA which washeadquartered at the Defense Industrial Security Command (DISC) inGeorge Wallace's home state of Alabama and also Ohio. DISC was thepolice and espionage agency for US munitions makers. This was allunder the control of Louis Bloomfield through his control of theFBI's "free-lance" espionage unit. Division Five. Joseph Milteer's reference to the "big Jew" corroborates that therewas in fact a Jewish conspiracy apparently headed by one Jewishindividual. That person was Louis Bloomfield. The Assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther KingDivision Five was apparently used to kill Martin Luther King andRobert Kennedy in 1968 and blame the murders on patsies. James EarlRay and Sirhan Sirhan. Malevolent forces converged against King and Kennedy because thelatter was about to assume the presidency and former was endorsinghim. Both wanted to end US involvement in the Vietnam War butseveral interests would prevail over their wishes. First the right-wing extremists hated both men because of they—along with PresidentKennedy—had embarrassed George Wallace in June 1963 when the GeorgianNational Guard forced him to allow black students to enroll at theUniversity of Alabama. Second. Israel absolutely did not want the sonof Joseph Kennedy to become president. None of the Kennedys could becounted on to support Israel's annexation program of expanding itsborders into neighboring Arab territories. Third. American and French-Corsican-Latino crime syndicates wanted the Vietnam War to continuebecause they were reaping huge profits from the Golden Triangle fromits production of opium. Those profits were apparently being sharedwith senior military personnel and various wealthy interests withinthe Western Powers. In March of 1967 Senator Robert Kennedy announced a peace plan forVietnam and soon became an outspoken antiwar advocate.91 MartinLuther King quickly followed the senator's lead. On April 4. 1967 atRiverside Church in New York City and again on the 15th at a mammothpeace rally in that city. King committed himself irrevocably toopposing US involvement in the Vietnam War. Once before in earlyJanuary 1966 he had condemned the war but official outrage fromWashington and strenuous opposition within the black community itselfhad caused him to acquiesce.92On Jan. 30. 1968 the Tet Offensive began. It was a massive attacklaunched by the North Vietnamese on the Tet (lunar new year)Vietnamese festival. It marked a new beginning of anti-war sentimentamongst many Americans. Gene McCarthy had been campaigning for thepresidency on the Democratic ticket. On March 16. 1968. RobertKennedy announced his candidacy for the presidency;93 Martin LutherKing immediately endorsed him. On March 31. 1968. President Johnsonstartled television viewers with a national address that includedthree announcements: (1) he had just ordered major reductions in thebombing of North Vietnam. (2) he was requesting peace talks and (3)he would neither seek nor accept his party's renomination for thepresidency.94 On April 4 King was killed by a sniper's bullet whilestanding on the balcony of a motel in Memphis. Tennessee where he andhis associates were staying. On March 10. 1969 the accused assassin,James Earl Ray pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to 99years in prison.95 Ray later recanted his confession. By June 4. 1968 Robert Kennedy had won five out of six presidentialprimaries including one that day in California. Shortly aftermidnight on June 5 he spoke to his followers in Los Angeles'Ambassador Hotel. As he left through a kitchen hallway he was fatallywounded by a Palestinian immigrant. Sirhan Bishara Sirhan; at leastthat's the official story. Robert Kennedy died the next day on June6. 1968.96The Coup Against NixonAs it turns out. Watergate was not the only cover-up in the NixonWhite House. Joan Hoff a research professor of history at MontanaState University recently wrote an article asserting that onDecember 21. 1971—six months before the Watergate burglary occurred—Nixon approved the first major cover-up of his administration;however he was not covering up his own misdeeds. He was covering upthe Navy's. Nixon had learned that Admiral Thomas Moorer head of theJoint Chiefs of Staff had authorized his subordinates to spy on theWhite House's National Security Counsel. For thirteen months from1970 to late 1971. Navy Yeoman Charles E. Radford systematicallystole and copied NSC documents from Alexander Haig. Henry Kissin
