New Allegations of Plot to Kill JFK

snopes · #1 21 March 2007, 09:47 AM

Before his death at age 88, E. Howard Hunt had reconciled with his children and left the sons one last tantalizing story, they say. The story, which he planned to detail in a memoir and could be worth big money -- was that rogue CIA agents plotted to kill President Kennedy in 1963, and that they approached Hunt to join the plot but he declined.

Isn't it a little late to plot to kill JFK?

Or is it? How do we know that JFK is not in a private mansion in Key West soaking up the sun and offering military advice to the President?

Hunt was heavily involved with the Bay of Pigs and most accounts of JFK's assassination that use CIA themes, rogue agents or otherwise, suggest that Kennedy's unwillingness to support the anti-Castro invasion led to their grievances. So maybe he was asked, but of course, he's dead!!

Conversely, James McCord, the ex-CIA agent who put the tape wrong on the Watergate doors was a European-based operative. Other conspiracy theorists see him as a mole in the White House Plumbers unit, in part because he had no Cuban experience.

There is no way out, there is no way out. How do you prove a negative.

Well, I know it because I read some very graphic accounts of his injury and treatment. Trust me, that guy died.

Unless all that was a cover up and a very convincing double was used.....

Well, you'll notice I said "that guy," not "JFK."

Simple. Kennedy was a democrat. The current occupant of the Oval Office would never take advice from a democrat.

Naw, the CIA replaced the bit of JFK's head that was damaged with a small bag of sand, dyed him black, and dumped him in the same rest home as Elvis.

Okay, so he isn't taking that guy's advice, unless of course the brain damage makes him an acceptable source for information.

E. Howard scribbled the initials "LBJ," standing for Kennedy's ambitious vice president, Lyndon Johnson. Under "LBJ," connected by a line, he wrote the name Cord Meyer. Meyer was a CIA agent whose wife had an affair with JFK; later she was murdered, a case that's never been solved. Next his father connected to Meyer's name the name Bill Harvey, another CIA agent; also connected to Meyer's name was the name David Morales, yet another CIA man and a well-known, particularly vicious black-op specialist. And then his father connected to Morales' name, with a line, the framed words "French Gunman Grassy Knoll."

So there it was, according to E. Howard Hunt. LBJ had Kennedy killed. It had long been speculated upon. But now E. Howard was saying that's the way it was. And that Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't the only shooter in Dallas. There was also, on the grassy knoll, a French gunman, presumably the Corsican Mafia assassin Lucien Sarti, who has figured prominently in other assassination theories.
