Author makes case against CIA

President John F. Kennedy had fired Allen Dulles, Director of Central Intelligence, because of the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

On Nov. 22, 1963 JFK was assassinated. The coup d’etat was orchestrated by The Department of Justice/CIA/FBI! Lee Harvey Oswald was charged and asked that the “FBI be notified.” He was shot by Jack Ruby. Both belonged to the CIA/FBI. The Dallas Police Department knew Oswald was to be killed while in their custody! There are no records of 12 hours of interrogation at the Dallas Police station, nor of who Oswald talked to!

Hired CIA mercenaries caught JFK in a triangulated crossfire. Oswald was not the killer.

District Attorney Jim Garrison of Orleans Parish, La., found key people who were in on the planning and execution of the crime. The CIA infiltrated the D.A.’s office. Key witnesses “disappeared.”

Online reviews of “JFK,” the movie, mislead the reader. Author Joan Mellen restored Garrison’s credibility with evidence withheld or altered by the CIA/FBI.

The Warren Commission report was a fabrication the CIA/FBI conjured. The Zapruder film, which showed Kennedy’s head reacting to a shot from the front, wasn’t entered into evidence! Because of overwhelming evidence Congress asked the FBI, in 1979, to re-investigate the facts and report back. There has been no reply!

Joan Mellen used FBI/CIA records released in 1992, establishing facts Garrison had never seen. Fascism is a recurrent theme. Non-conservatives were “communists.”

Remaining records are to be released in 2029, 66 years after the murder!

Read “A Farewell to Justice, Jim Garrison, JFK’s Assassination, and the Case That Should Have Changed History,” by Joan Mellen. It is from this book that I have derived my information, but I have barely touched on the information presented. Author Mellon says “Reader, you decide.”
