obert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968), also known by his initials RFK and by the nickname Bobby,[1][2] was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a sitting U.S. Senator (from the chamber he was a lawyer for previously leading the MCLellean Hearings where Prescott Bush and Senator LBJ were also from) from New York (formely of Boston) from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968.
He represented an even bigger threat to United Fruit Company, Allan Dulles, Trade Mart, and others in Guatamala and elswhere as he campaiged for Sovereign independent African state.
He was, like his brothers John and Edward, a prominent member of the Democratic Party and has come to be viewed by some historians as an icon of modern American liberalism.[3]
Kennedy was born into a wealthy, political family in Brookline, Massachusetts aka Dorchester, Columbia Point, Scituate Area of the Boston Harbor, like the New Orleans Lake Front Harbor, point of trade accross the atlantic rather than point of trade into Central and Latin America that United Fruit, Tradmart, Reilly Coffee and of course the Navy and CIA and FBI used.
I earlier posts (the book Pillary continuing on this blog because i have access to this blogging UIX and CMS WordPress by library computers) I have outlined from periods 1776,1789, 1902, 1920s to 1930s,1942, 1945, 1946 and 1952 to 1960 incongruent and incompatible schools of thought on National Security and Foreign Policy.
Nicholas deBelleville Katzenbach (January 17, 1922 – May 8, 2012) was an American lawyer who served as United States Attorney General during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration.
Role in JFK assassination investigation[edit]
Katzenbach has been credited with providing advice after the assassination of John F. Kennedy that led to the creation of the Warren Commission.[14] On November 25, 1963, he sent a memo to Johnson’s White House aide Bill Moyers recommending the creation of a Presidential Commission to investigate the assassination.[14][15] To combat speculation of a conspiracy, Katzenbach said the results of the FBI’s investigation should be made public.[14][15] He wrote, in part: “The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large”.[15]
Four days after Katzenbach’s memo, Johnson appointed some of the nation’s most prominent figures, including the Chief Justice of the United States, to the Commission.[14][15] Conspiracy theorists later called the memo, one of thousands of files released by the National Archives in 1994, the first sign of a cover-up by the government.[14][15]
On Nov. 25, three days after the slaying, Katzenbach sent a memo to Johnson aide Bill Moyers urging that results of the FBI’s investigation be made public to combat any notion that Lee Harvey Oswald had not acted alone.
“The public must be satisfied that Oswald was the assassin; that he did not have confederates who are still at large,” Katzenbach wrote.
“Speculation about Oswald’s motivation ought to be cut off, and we should have some basis for rebutting thought that this was a Communist conspiracy or (as the Iron Curtain press is saying) a right-wing conspiracy to blame it on the communists,” he wrote in the memo, one of thousands of files released in 1994 by the National Archives
“Unfortunately, the facts on Oswald seem about too pat, too obvious (Marxist, Cuba, Russian wife, etc.),” he wrote. “The Dallas police have put out statements on the Communist conspiracy theory, and it was they who were in charge when he was shot and thus silenced.”
Four days after the memo, Johnson appointed some of the nation’s most prominent figures to the Warren Commission, which ultimately concluded that Oswald acted alone, a theory still disputed. Skeptics and conspiracy theorists have often cited Katzenbach’s memo as a sign of a government cover-up.
Later years[edit]
Katzenbach left government service to work for IBM in 1969, where he served as general counsel during the lengthy antitrust case filed by the Department of Justice seeking the break-up of IBM. He and Cravath, Swaine & Moore attorney Thomas Barr led the case for the computer giant for 13 years until the government finally decided to drop it in 1982. Later Katzenbach led the opposition against the case filed by the European Economic Community.
He retired from IBM in 1986 and became a partner at the firm of Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti in New Jersey.[16] He was named chairman of the failing Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) in 1991.[17]
The English have financed massive naval fleets by exploiting the nations the fleets sail to, more needed to do that than even Spain who had similar and competing naval ambitions.
The USA was one such exploited colony fertile and temperate and seeming unlimited in space whose charters could produce large amounts of British wealth.
The US colonials lived under Impressment, or “press gang” as it was more commonly known, was recruitment by force. It was a practice that directly affected the U.S. and was even one of the causes of the War of 1812. The British navy consistently suffered manpower shortages due to the low pay and a lack of qualified seamen.
Jury Nullification was partly a US tradition in the USA and Colonies to resist British attempts to enforce Impressment.
Taxation of the colonies to support Englands war with France did little to garner love from colonials who were building their ideology of freedom from the French Revulision decapitating King Louis XVI.
The Kennedy family was well aware of this history.
As Boston Tea Party walkdings distance Roman Catholics and RFK in particular from 1952 to 1960 fighter of Richard Nixon Jimmy Hoffas Jack Rubenstein;s Yiddish Mafia gangs (and many other like Charles Harrelson and Sam Giacanca and Mexian Nationals fighters) the came to oppose the Special Relationship with Great Brittian the FBI, CIA, Eisenhower, The Rockefellers, Wild Bill Donovan, the Dulles Brothers, and others had.
WWII was over, and Irish Troubles were on again.
The ongoing scheme JFK and RFK inherited feature Aland Dulles, Charles Cabell, Richard Bissle Jr., and others attacking Ireland, Cuba, Indonesia (Sukarno) Guetemala, and other nations including Cuba was becoming distasteful to JFK and RFK already and now a complication to world peace through diplomacy and republicanism ( or more generally Liberalism, various forms of popular elections heigherachial or not) for political governance and law making.
The French joined the Colonist of New England out of loyalty to ideology of the Atlantic Revolutions as much as military distration of England.
This is what JFK depended on. Being the shining city on the hill would draw allies and that was security it itself.
The simple timing of JFK RFK moving into the Whitehouse and the “War State” Deep State subversion and overthrogh dirty-war war machine was a confict in philosophy and actions under those philosphies, Nixon endorsing the programs, Ted Sorenson (chief author of Profiles in Courage) in different camps, camps no more obviously a schism of deep anomisoity than the Boston of George H.W. Bush, Rose Fitzpatrick, and the Great Potatofamine landing of the Irish in Boston again fueling the Colonial rebellion against England stentiment. –

According to The War State (Esienhower years) and many other source Zapata Oil was a CIA front company, likely had Hispanic employees and since Goerge H.W. Bush is cited by most recent historians as being a CIA recruiter of Hispanic mafia for the Bay of Pigs, we can assume the US DOD name for Bay of Pigs likely had Robert F kennedy leader of the CIA station for overthrows JMWAVE in direct phone communications with George H.W. Bush.
Now in Pillory.epub I think I have a phone call between JFK and Goerge H. W. Bush but consider JFK during and after the assasination and Ted Gundersons try to hekp JFK.
Col Fletcher Prouty was doing his best, but later, to understand the Cabal that ruled Texas including the mayor of Dallas.
Because Dallas was ruled by the Nixon Eisenhower Cabal RFK was left out of since the McClellan hearings we did not know until Roger Stones book The Case Against LBJ that Jack Rubensteisn was a Mafia actor for the Regime Change government, as was Charles Harrelson and E Howard Hunt.
Robert F. Kennedy has to go with the best avaialbe polce reports ast the time, him for a while still being Attorney General.

Throughout 1946, Kennedy became active in his brother John’s campaign for the U.S. Representative seat that was vacated by James Curley; he joined the campaign full-time after his naval discharge. Biographer Schlesinger wrote that the election served as an entry into politics for both Robert and John.[52] Robert graduated from Harvard in 1948 with a bachelor’s degree in political science.[53]
Upon graduating, he sailed immediately on the RMS Queen Mary with a college friend for a six-month tour of Europe and the Middle East, accredited as a correspondent for the Boston Post, filing six stories.[54] Four of these stories, submitted from Palestine shortly before the end of the British Mandate, provided a first-hand view of the tensions in the land.[54] He was critical of British policy on Palestine and praised the Jewish people he met there calling them “hardy and tough”. He held out some hope after seeing Arabs and Jews working side by side but, in the end, feared that the hatred between the groups was too strong and would lead to a war.[55]
In September 1948, he enrolled at the University of Virginia School of Law in Charlottesville.[56] Kennedy adapted to this new environment, being elected president of the Student Legal Forum, where he successfully produced outside speakers including James M. Landis, William O. Douglas, Arthur Krock, and Joseph McCarthy and his family members Joe Sr. and John F. Kennedy. Kennedy’s paper on Yalta, written during his senior year, is deposited in the Law Library’s Treasure Trove.[57]
On June 17, 1950, Kennedy married Ethel Skakel at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Greenwich, Connecticut.[58] He graduated from law school in June 1951 and flew with Ethel to Greenwich to stay in his father-in-law’s guest house. The couple’s first child, Kathleen, was born on July 4, 1951.[59]
During this time, his brother John tried to keep Joe Sr. “at arm’s length”. The brothers rarely interacted until Kenny O’Donnell contacted Robert to repair the relationship between John and their father during John’s Senate campaign. As a result of this, Joe Sr. came to view Robert favorably as reliable and “willing to sacrifice himself” for the family.[60]
In September 1951, he went to San Francisco as a correspondent for the Boston Post to cover the convention that concluded the Treaty of Peace with Japan.[61] In October 1951, he embarked on a seven-week Asian trip with his brother John (then a U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts’ 11th district) and their sister Patricia to Israel, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Japan.[62] Because of their age gap, the two brothers had previously seen little of each other—this 25,000-mile (40,000 km) trip came at their father’s behest[60] and was the first extended time they had spent together, serving to deepen their relationship. On this trip, the brothers met Liaquat Ali Khan just before his assassination, and India’s prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.[63]
Senate committee counsel and political campaigns (1951–1960)
JFK Senate campaign and Joseph McCarthy (1952–1955)
In 1951, Kennedy was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.[64][65] That November, he moved with his wife and daughter to a townhouse in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C., and started work as a lawyer in the Internal Security Section of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice; the section was charged with investigating suspected Soviet agents.[66] In February 1952, he was transferred to Brooklyn (designated as special assistant to attorney general)[67] to help prepare fraud cases against former officials of the Truman administration.[68][69] On June 6, 1952, he resigned to manage his brother John’s U.S. Senate campaign in Massachusetts.[70] JFK’s victory was of great importance to the Kennedys, elevating him to national prominence and turning him into a serious potential presidential candidate. John’s victory was also equally important to Robert, who felt he had succeeded in eliminating his father’s negative perceptions of him.[71]
In December 1952, at his father’s behest, Kennedy was appointed by family friend Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy as assistant counsel of the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.[72][73] Kennedy disapproved of McCarthy’s aggressive methods of garnering intelligence on suspected communists.[74] This was a highly visible job for him. He resigned in July 1953, but “retained a fondness for McCarthy”.[75] The period of July 1953 to January 1954 saw him at “a professional and personal nadir”, feeling that he was adrift while trying to prove himself to his family.[76] Kenneth O’Donnell and Larry O’Brien (who worked on John’s congressional campaigns) urged Kennedy to consider running for Massachusetts Attorney General in 1954, but he declined.[77]
After a period as an assistant to his father on the Hoover Commission, Kennedy rejoined the Senate committee staff as chief counsel for the Democratic minority in February 1954.[78] That month, McCarthy’s chief counsel Roy Cohn subpoenaed Annie Lee Moss, accusing her of membership in the Communist Party. Kennedy revealed that Cohn had called the wrong Annie Lee Moss and he requested the file on Moss from the FBI. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover had been forewarned by Cohn and denied him access, calling RFK “an arrogant whippersnapper”.[79] When Democrats gained a Senate majority in January 1955, Kennedy became chief counsel and was a background figure in the televised Army–McCarthy hearings of 1954 into McCarthy’s conduct.[80] The Moss incident turned Cohn into an enemy, which led to Kennedy assisting Democratic senators in ridiculing Cohn during the hearings. The animosity grew to the point where Cohn had to be restrained after asking RFK if he wanted to fight him.[79] For his work on the McCarthy committee, Kennedy was included in a list of Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1954, created by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. His father had arranged the nomination, his first national award.[81] In 1955 Kennedy was admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.[82]
Stevenson aide and focus on organized labor (1956–1960)
In 1956, Kennedy moved his growing family outside Washington to a house called Hickory Hill, which he purchased from his brother John. This enormous 13-bedroom, 13-bath home was situated on 6 acres (2.4 ha) in McLean, Virginia. Kennedy went on to work as an aide to Adlai Stevenson during the 1956 presidential election which helped him learn how national campaigns worked, in preparation for a future run by his brother, Jack.[83] Unimpressed with Stevenson, he reportedly voted for incumbent Dwight D. Eisenhower.[84] Kennedy was also a delegate at the 1956 Democratic National Convention, having replaced Tip O’Neil at the request of his brother John, joining in what was ultimately an unsuccessful effort to help JFK get the vice-presidential nomination.[85] Shortly after this, following instructions by his father, Kennedy tried making amends with J. Edgar Hoover.[86] There seemed to be some improvement in their interactions, which came to be seen as “elemental political necessity” by Kennedy. This later changed after Kennedy was appointed attorney general, where Hoover saw him as an “unprecedented threat”.[87]
From 1957 to 1959, he made a name for himself while serving as the chief counsel to the U.S. Senate’s McClellan Committee under chairman John L. McClellan. Kennedy was given authority over testimony scheduling, areas of investigation, and witness questioning by McClellan, a move that was made by the chairman to limit attention to himself and allow outrage by organized labor to be directed toward Kennedy.[88] In a famous scene, Kennedy squared off with Teamsters Union President Jimmy Hoffa during the antagonistic argument that marked Hoffa’s testimony.[89] Kennedy, who was instructed to collect information, discovered several financial irregularities, such as that Hoffa had misappropriated $9.5 million in union funds and made corrupt deals with employers.[90] During the hearings, Kennedy received criticism from liberal critics and other commentators both for his outburst of impassioned anger and doubts about the innocence of those who invoked the Fifth Amendment.[91] Senators Barry Goldwater and Karl Mundt wrote to each other and complained about “the Kennedy boys” having hijacked the McClellan Committee by their focus on Hoffa and the Teamsters. They believed Kennedy covered for Walter Reuther and the United Automobile Workers, a union which typically would back Democratic office seekers. Amidst the allegations, Kennedy wrote in his journal that the two senators had “no guts” as they never addressed him directly, only through the press.[92] He left the committee in late 1959 in order to run his brother’s presidential campaign.

Robert, Edward and John Kennedy, early 1960s
In 1960, Kennedy published The Enemy Within, a book which described the corrupt practices within the Teamsters and other unions that he had helped investigate. John Seigenthaler assisted Kennedy.[93] Kennedy went to work on the presidential campaign of his brother, John.[94] In contrast to his role in his brother’s previous campaign eight years prior, Kennedy gave stump speeches throughout the primary season, gaining confidence as time went on.[95] His strategy “to win at any cost” led him to call on Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. to attack Hubert Humphrey as a draft dodger; Roosevelt eventually did make the statement that Humphrey avoided service.[96]
Concerned that John Kennedy was going to receive the Democratic Party’s nomination, some supporters of Lyndon Johnson, who was also running for the nomination, revealed to the press that JFK had Addison’s disease, saying that he required life-sustaining cortisone treatments. Though in fact a diagnosis had been made, Kennedy tried to protect his brother by denying the allegation, saying that JFK had never had “an ailment described classically as Addison’s disease”.[97] After securing the nomination, John Kennedy nonetheless decided to offer Lyndon Johnson the vice presidency. This did not sit well with some Kennedy supporters, and Robert tried unsuccessfully to convince Johnson to turn down the offer, leading him to view Robert with contempt afterward.[98] RFK had already disliked Johnson prior to the presidential campaign, seeing him as a threat to his brother’s ambitions.[99] RFK wanted his brother to choose labor leader Walter Reuther.[100] Despite Kennedy’s attempts, Johnson became his brother’s running mate.[101]
Kennedy worked toward downplaying his brother’s Catholic faith during the primary but took a more aggressive and supportive stance during the general election. These concerns were mostly calmed after JFK delivered a speech in September in Houston where he said that he was in favor of the separation of church and state.[102] The following month, Kennedy was involved in securing the release of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. from a jail in Atlanta. Kennedy spoke with Georgia governor Ernest Vandiver and later Judge Oscar Mitchell, after the judge had sentenced King for violating his probation when he protested at a whites-only snack bar.[103]
Attorney General of the United States (1961–1964)
Kennedy testifies before the Senate Committee on Government Operations‘ Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations about organized crime, September 1963
After winning the 1960 presidential election, President-elect John F. Kennedy appointed his younger brother attorney general. The choice was controversial, with publications including The New York Times and The New Republic calling him inexperienced and unqualified.[104] He had no experience in any state or federal court,[105] causing the president to joke, “I can’t see that it’s wrong to give him a little legal experience before he goes out to practice law.”[106] But Kennedy was hardly a novice as a lawyer, having gained significant experience conducting investigations and questioning witnesses as a Justice Department attorney and Senate committee counsel and staff director.[107]
According to Bobby Baker, the Senate majority secretary and a protégé of Lyndon Johnson, President-elect Kennedy did not want to name his brother attorney general, but their father overruled him. At the behest of Vice President-elect Johnson, Baker persuaded the influential Southern senator Richard Russell to allow a voice vote to confirm the president’s brother in January 1961, as Kennedy “would have been lucky to get 40 votes” on a roll-call vote.[108][109]
The deputy and assistant attorneys general Kennedy chose included Byron White and Nicholas Katzenbach.[105] Kennedy also played a major role in helping his brother form his cabinet. John Kennedy wanted to name Senator J. William Fulbright, whom he knew and liked, as his secretary of state.[110] Fulbright was generally regarded as the Senate’s resident foreign policy expert, but he also supported segregation and white supremacy in the South. Robert Kennedy persuaded his brother that having Fulbright as secretary of state would cost the Democrats Afro-American votes, leading to Dean Rusk being nominated instead after John Kennedy decided that his next choice, McGeorge Bundy, was too young.[111] Kennedy was also present at the job interview when the CEO of the Ford Motor Company, Robert McNamara, was interviewed by John Kennedy about becoming defense secretary.[112] McNamara’s self-confidence and belief that he could “scientifically” solve any problem via his “Systems Analysis” style of management impressed the Kennedy brothers, though John was rattled for a moment when McNamara asked if his bestselling book Profiles in Courage was written by a ghost writer.[113]
Author James W. Hilty concludes that Kennedy “played an unusual combination of roles—campaign director, attorney general, executive overseer, controller of patronage, chief adviser, and brother protector” and that nobody before him had had such power.[114] His tenure as attorney general was easily the period of greatest power for the office—no previous United States attorney general had enjoyed such clear influence on all areas of policy during an administration.[115] To a great extent, President Kennedy sought the advice and counsel of his younger brother, with Robert being the president’s closest political adviser. He was relied upon as both the president’s primary source of administrative information and as a general counsel with whom trust was implicit. He exercised widespread authority over every cabinet department, leading the Associated Press to dub him “Bobby—Washington’s No. 2-man”.[115]
The president once remarked about his brother, “If I want something done and done immediately I rely on the Attorney General. He is very much the doer in this administration, and has an organizational gift I have rarely if ever seen surpassed.”[116]
Berlin
As one of the president’s closest White House advisers, Kennedy played a crucial role in the events surrounding the Berlin Crisis of 1961.[117] Operating mainly through a private, backchannel connection to Soviet spy Georgi Bolshakov, he relayed important diplomatic communications between the American and Soviet governments.[118] Most significantly, this connection helped the U.S. set up the Vienna Summit in June 1961, and later to defuse the tank standoff with the Soviets at Berlin’s Checkpoint Charlie in October.[119] Kennedy’s visit with his wife to West Berlin in February 1962 demonstrated U.S. support for the city and helped repair the strained relationship between the administration and its special envoy in Berlin, Lucius D. Clay.[120]
Organized crime and the Teamsters
John F. Kennedy, J. Edgar Hoover, and Kennedy in 1961
As attorney general, Kennedy pursued a relentless crusade against organized crime and the Mafia, sometimes disagreeing on strategy with FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. Convictions against organized crime figures rose by 800 percent during his term.[121] Kennedy worked to shift Hoover’s focus away from communism, which Hoover saw as a more serious threat, to organized crime. According to James Neff, Kennedy’s success in this endeavor was due to his brother’s position, giving the attorney general leverage over Hoover.[122] Biographer Richard Hack concluded that Hoover’s dislike for Kennedy came from his being unable to control him.[123]
He was relentless in his pursuit of Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa, due to Hoffa’s known corruption in financial and electoral matters, both personally and organizationally,[124] creating a so-called “Get Hoffa” squad of prosecutors and investigators.[125] The enmity between the two men was intense, with accusations of a personal vendetta—what Hoffa called a “blood feud”—exchanged between them.[126] On July 7, 1961, after Hoffa was reelected to the Teamsters presidency, RFK told reporters the government’s case against Hoffa had not been changed by what he called “a small group of teamsters” supporting him.[127] The following year, it was leaked that Hoffa had claimed to a Teamster local that Kennedy had been “bodily” removed from his office, the statement being confirmed by a Teamster press agent and Hoffa saying Kennedy had only been ejected.[128] On March 4, 1964, Hoffa was convicted in Chattanooga, Tennessee, of attempted bribery of a grand juror during his 1962 conspiracy trial in Nashville, Tennessee, and sentenced to eight years in prison and a $10,000 fine.[129][130] After learning of Hoffa’s conviction by telephone, Kennedy issued congratulatory messages to the three prosecutors.[131] While on bail during his appeal, Hoffa was convicted in a second trial held in Chicago, on July 26, 1964, on one count of conspiracy and three counts of mail and wire fraud for improper use of the Teamsters’ pension fund, and sentenced to five years in prison.[129][132] Hoffa spent the next three years unsuccessfully appealing his 1964 convictions, and began serving his aggregate prison sentence of 13 years (eight years for bribery, five years for fraud)[133] on March 7, 1967, at the Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania.[134]
The Deep State was not sending Memos up
James Jesus Angleton and others were known to leave the higher level figures out of the loop and considering themselves sort of Marshalls in the Wild Wild West who just did what they could where they could when they could how the could and would likely report in later or maybe not.
RFK did NOT have a 1980s level understanding of who I call the Three Hobos (and I have seen the term Three Hobos in anti Free Masonry literature) he did not likely know much about Nixon George H.W Bush republican party 1952 to 1960s activities of Mafia.
As Jim Garrison got for the first time the Zupruder film and distributed it around the universtities and film labs, public for the first time, and other information about Clay Shaw and the Dulles Brother, International Trade Mart, RFK would be new to much of that info only coming out via declassified documents and historians deep research into archives of world history.
THe trial of Clay Shaw was going to reveal much about the CIA. If the Goerge Bush Nixon LBJ Oil Money Saudia Arabia oil influences were revealed RFK would likely have been a policy discussions resource on JFK rejecting Oil Barrell Politics and also rejecting war mongering from the Eisenhower Nixon MKULTRA Marshall Plan subversion efforts.
In short when the US DOD CIA were in communiatios through RFK then Zapata Oil and the Bush family were likely prominent participants.
Ted Gunderson like RFK was anti rackets working with RFK and he had info about the NWO but was not believed in his own time or now but DeepState Analytics and others show The NWO including Catholic Gladio was a Bush family Rockefller family operation Queen of England and Kights of Malta operation including slush funds, secretiive banks like the The Vatican and BCCI, and other front organizations perhaps using trillions of dollars.
The Stokes Committee heard the testimony of Marita Lorenz, a beautiful spy recruited by Frank Sturgis, a Cuban who turned a CIA agent, she recounted a meeting that she attended in Miami at the house of Orlando Bosch in which Pedro Luis Daz Lanz and Oswald planned a visit to Dallas. She added that on November 15, she travelled to that city in a two-car caravan with Bosch, Sturgis, Daz Lanz, Oswald, Gerry Hemmings and the Novo Sampoll brothers. There were guns in the hotel rooms in which they stayed and they had a visit from Jack Ruby, subsequently Oswald’s executioner. More recently, Lorenz stated that at the hotel on November 21, Howard Hunt (Eduardo to the Cubans) handed money over to Sturgis for an operation in an unspecified location and returned to Miami two or three hours after the assassination.
ANTONIO VECIANO, the founder of Alpha 66, told the Committee that in the context of his activities against the Cuban government, he met on many occasions with a CIA official who gave his name as Bishop. And that in August 1963, in Dallas, the latter made contact with him in an office building, accompanied by a person whom he identified after the death of Kennedy as Lee Harvey Oswald.
Later Veciano confided to writer Gaeton Fonzi that Bishop’s real name was David Atlee Phillips who worked for the CIA in Havana under the cover of a businessman living in Apartment 502, 106, Humboldt Street.
From 1960, Atlee Phillips-Bishop was the Miami chief of propaganda for the 1961 invasion of Cuba, together with Howard H. Hunt, the principal organiser of Watergate. In 1954, both of them succeeded in bringing down the Arbenz government in Guatemala. The Cuban security establishment confirmed the identity of this CIA official who organised the Cuban-American terrorist groups who, as late as 2003, were pressuring the Bush government to secure the release of Posada Carriles and his accomplices.https://frontline.thehindu.com/world-affairs/article30208425.ece
