MY TRIP TO DEALEY PLAZA: THEN AND NOW
YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE INTERVIEW HERE THAT PREVIOUSLY HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE INTERNET:
======================
JAMES FILES INTERVIEW
ENTER ROSCOE WHITE:
All 30 medical personnel at Parkland Hospital said that there was a massive exit wound in JFK’s rear head and entrance wound in the front neck. There was a small 5mm bullet hole just below Kennedy's Adams-apple when he arrived at the hospital, which they cut to made larger to insert a tub in JFK’ throat, to try to get him breathing again.
An entry wound to the throat means that the shoot came from the front. The magic bullet, which supposedly struck the President in the back and went out his throat and hit Connally several times, was close to the shoulder and about 6 inches below the neck wound, and was on a 45-degree angle DOWNWARD!
(Below) It appears George Bush senior was in Dealey Plaza that fateful day.
A track supervisor for the union terminal, Railroad Company, told the warren commission HE HEARD THREE TO FOUR SHOTS THAT CAME FROM THE TREES ON THE GRASS KNOLL!
Anyone who thinks Oswald was the lone assassin is an idiot. If you watch the Zapruder film you can clearly see that Connally was not hit with the bullet that struck JFK in the throat.
Nellie Connally, who was sitting next to her husband in the presidential limousine, always maintained that two bullets struck John F. Kennedy and a third hit her husband. “The first sound, the first shot, I heard, and turned and looked right into the President’s face.
He was clutching his throat, and just slumped down. He just had a look of nothingness on his face. He didn’t say anything. But that was the first shot. The second shot, that hit John, well, of course, I could see him covered with with blood and his reaction to a second shot. The third shot, even though I didn’t see the President, I felt the matter all over me, and I could see it all over the car.”
John Connally agreed with his wife: “Beyond any question, and I’ll never
change my opinion, the first bullet did not hit me. The second bullet did
hit me. The third bullet did not hit me.” The bullet that killed President Kennedy came from the direction of the grassy knoll. Unlike all the other bullets fired at the presidential limousine that day, this was a hollow point shell designed to explode upon entry, making a small 3/8" entrance wound and a large 3 1/2" diameter exit wound.
X-rays of President Kennedy's skull show a literal snowstorm of tiny bullet fragments, over 40 in fact. Ballistics expert Howard Donahue has pointed out, that it is highly unlikely that the fragments seen in the x-rays could have come from the kind of ammunition allegedly used by Oswald.
They will never tell you this, bullet’s were fired from the direction of the grassy knoll that missed the President and hit the grass and curb on the other side of the street.
If silencers were used on some of the rifles, in combination with rifles that are not silenced, witnesses located in different parts of the caravan and Dealey Plaza would have heard the shots coming from different directions. Unanimity would have been impossible on the subject of the gunfire's origin." Jim Hougan, Spooks (New York: William Morrow and Company, 1978.)
James Files a member of the Chicago mob and was also involved in the Bay of Pigs invasion, confessed to shooting JFK above the right eye with a hollow point bullet that was filled with mercury using a Remington XP-100 fireball.
THE PLOT TO KILL KENNEDY
At this meeting was some of Kennedy's most powerful enemies Sid Richardson, R.L. Thornton, Cliff Carter, H.L Hunt a Texas oil billionaire who wanted Kennedy killed because he had the Congress eliminate the tax breaks for the oil companies, which was costing the Texas oilmen 300 million dollars a year.
By signing Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency interest free, without going through the Federal Reserve.
George Brown (of Brown and Root) was also there. He controlled all the big Military contracts and he offered Johnson lucrative kick backs to have Kennedy killed, so they could continue to keep the Vietnam war going for as long as possible. Johnson hired Cord Meyer, CIA Assassin Master to put together the death squad to kill Kennedy.
Cord Meyer hated Kennedy because his wife Mary Meyer was said to have had a affair with JFK. Johnson started the entire Brown & Root, Halliburton military takeover of the U.S government, which reaped him huge sums of money from the escalation of the Vietnam War.
Also at the meeting was Earl Cabell the Mayor of Dallas, and the brother of General Charles Cabell who was the Deputy Director of the CIA who was fired along with Director Allen Dulles by Kennedy over the Cuba invasion and the Bay of Pigs fiasco, which nearly ended up in a nuclear confrontation with the Russians.
The CIA wanted JFK dead because he had threatened to get rid of their corrupt Nazi clandestine organization and shred it into a thousand pieces.
Also included at the meeting was Richard Nixon, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover (33 degree Illuminati Freemason), Clyde Tolson the assistant Director of the FBI, Bill Decker (Dallas Sheriff) Clint Peoples (U.S. Marshall), Don Smith, Amon G. Carter, B.R. Sheffield, George Owens, John Currington, Joe C. Yarbrough, W.O. Bankston, and Texas Governor John Connally.
George H. W. Bush and Richard Nixon joined Hoover that night in Dallas at the Murchison gathering on November 21, 1963 before Kennedy arrived the next day, according to alleged Kennedy co-conspirator and spotter Frank Sturgis. Sturgis’ explosive revelations about Bush and Nixon is also confirmed by a living witness who worked for Clint Murchison at the time of the assassination. Incredibly, not only did the witness collaborate their meeting prior to the assassination, but also a second gathering involving the alleged co conspirators (including the assassins and their spotters) who toasted and celebrated Kennedy’s death as they watched television reports the next night.
George Bush had worked for Clint Murchison in Haiti, and was also a business partner. At the time George H.W. Bush was the head of Zapata Oil and in charge of the CIA invasion of Cuba. Considering the hatred that the CIA felt toward Kennedy over their failed invasion of Cuba and Bush's involvement in that same mission, it is obvious what Bush's feelings toward John F. Kennedy really were and what a major role he played in sending his assassin teams up from Cuba to kill the president. Although George H. W. Bush has admitted to being in Texas that day, he cannot account for his whereabouts at the time of the assassination.
There were also several Mafia kingpins from the Genovese Mafia. Carlos Marcello, the head of the Dallas Mob and the godfather of Louisiana and east Texas, was a leading target of the Kennedy Brothers war on crime and had swore vengeance against them.
Plus there where 4 or 5 Mafia hit man, Larry Campbill a high ranking mafia working for Jimmy Hoffa, Joe Civello a Dallas mafia don, Joe Campisi, and Jack Ruby. An FBI document lists Jack Ruby as a spy & hit man that had been working for Richard Nixon since 1947.
Carlos Marcello from the New Orleans mafia admits to having JFK killed. The book cites a testimony from Marcello where he said “Yeah, I had the son of a bitch killed. I’m glad I did. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done it myself.”
It seems that Marcello does not care who knows that he helped orchestrate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The former mobster boss also claims that he knew Jack Ruby and he had him kill Lee Harvey Oswald.
Malcolm Wallace who was on LBJ's staff was also at the Murchison house that night. He was a "hit man" and a expert marksman who had murdered as many as 18 or 19 people for Lyndon Johnson according to the testimony of Johnson's mistress, Madeleine Duncan Brown.
"Madeleine recalled that " after Johnson emerged from the Murchison meeting he walked up to her, and grabbed her by the arms and whispered in her ear, “After tomorrow those S.O.B.'s, the Kennedy's, will never embarrass me again, that's no threat, that's a promise.”
The next morning Kennedy and Johnson got into a heated argument over the motorcade seating arrangements. Johnson insisted that his friend Connally and his wife ride with him in the rear vehicle. When Kennedy refused, Johnson stormed out of the room in a rage.
When the Kennedy's plane landed at Love Field and they were busy shaking hands with all of the people, Johnson's Secret Service men came up to the motor cycle police and told them that the parade rout had been changed. It would no longer be going straight down Main St., but it would be making a turn onto Houston Street.
They also told the motorcycle police not to ride next to the Presidents car, but to make sure that they stayed back behind the car, so that the crowds of people (and the assassins) would have a unrestricted view of the President. Johnson also changed the order of the cars in the motorcade. Instead of his car being second, he put a car load of Secret Service men between his car and the President's.
Now Governor Connally may have known that Kennedy was going to be killed, and he was quite nervous the whole time he was riding in the set in front of Kennedy.
Immediately after the shooting, two Policemen got off their motorcycles and ran up the hill toward the fence. Patrolman E.D Brewer called over the police radio saying. "We have a man here who says he saw a man pull the weapon back through the window off the second floor from the southeast corner of the depository building."
Lee Harvey Oswald was confronted by an armed Dallas policeman, Marion Baker, in the Depository second floor lunchroom only 74 to 90 seconds (according to a Warren Commission time recreation) after the last shot.
Baker first testified that the shots he remembered hearing as he approached the depository originated from the "building in front of me, or, the one to the right".
The day after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a meeting took place between the FBI and the CIA. Hoover wrote a memo about the meeting which he titled “The Kennedy Assassination” in which he names George Bush as one of the two CIA officers who come to his office to get a copy of Hoover’s report on the CIA’s misguided activities in Cuba.
There is no statute of limitations on a murder investigation. George Bush Sr. should be given a fair trial and if found guilty executed for his involvement in John F. Kennedy's assassination. It's not to late for justice in this world.
How many innocent people have died because of these Thugs? Why have we let all these mass murderers go free? Why do we chose to ignore Hoover's memo? It's the smoking gun that we have been looking for all these years! Hoover clearly names George Bush as a CIA agent in charge, and simultaneously and explicitly connects Bush to both the assassination, and to the "misguided anti-Castro assassination teams" that came up from Cuba to kill Kennedy.
Marita Lorenz Castro's mistress, had to flee from Cuba for her life, when Castro found out she was working for the CIA trying to kill him. She testified under oath that she saw E Howard Hunt pay off the assassination teams in Dallas the night before Kennedy's murder. When she found out that it was plot to kill the President, she left the hotel room and flew back to Miami.

To: Director
Bureau of Intelligence and Research
Department of State
From: John Edgar Hoover, Director
Subject:
**Our Miami, Florida, Office on November 23, 1963, advised that the Office of Coordinator of Cuban Affairs in Miami advised that the Department of State feels some misguided anti-Castro group might capitalize on the present situation and undertake an unauthorized raid against Cuba, believing that the assassination of President John F. Kennedy might herald a change in U. S. policy, which is not true.
Our sources and informants familiar with Cuban matters in the Miami area advise that the general feeling in the anti-Castro Cuban community is one of stunned disbelief and, even among those who did not entirely agree with the President's policy concerning Cuba, the feeling is that the President's death represents a great loss not only to the U. S. but to all of Latin America. These sources know of no plans for unauthorized action against Cuba.
An informant who has furnished reliable information in the past and who is close to a small pro-Castro group in Miami has advised that these individuals are afraid that the assassination of the President may result in strong repressive measures being taken against them and, although pro-Castro in their feelings, regret the assassination.
The substance of the foregoing information was orally furnished to Mr. George Bush of the Central Intelligence Agency and Captain William Edwards of the Defense Intelligence Agency on November 23, 1963, by Mr. W. T. Forsyth of this Bureau.**

HOOVER
On November 24, 1963, in a memo J. Edgar Hoover wrote for the record, Hoover stated, "The thing I am most concerned about, and so is Mr. Katzenbach, is having something issued so that we can convince the public that Oswald is the real assassin."
J. Edgar Hoover wanted to officially clam that Oswald was the lone assassin, because if the killing of a President was caused by a lone assassin, it becomes the exclusive jurisdiction of the State law officers to investigate the case, not federal, that way the FBI had no jurisdiction to investigate the case.
Both Hunt and Frank Sturgis worked for Bush on the CIA’s raids and numerous attempts to assassinate Castro. Sturgis admitted to being a spotter.
Frank Sturgis told the San Francisco Chronicle in a May 7, 1977 interview, "The reason we burglarized the Watergate was because Nixon was interested in stopping news leaking relating to the photos of our role in the assassination of President John Kennedy."
WHO WAS FRANK STURGIS?
Nixon was extremely concerned about stopping the people from publishing the photos of Hunt & Sturgis under arrest for the murder of JFK.
Eyewitness Marita Lorenz testified under oath that she saw Hunt pay off an assassination team in Dallas the night before Kennedy's murder.
"The Cubans," "the Texans," "Helms," "Hunt," "Bernard Barker," "Robert Mosbacher," and "the Bay of Pigs." Nixon’s frequent use of code words when referring to the mysterious connection between the Bay of Pigs, Dallas and Watergate are being kept sealed in the National Archives.
Do you think it’s possible that all three of these events are some how connected? Nixon’s former chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman reviled in his memoir “The Ends of Power,” that the Watergate Burglaries were tied to the Murder of John F. Kennedy.
And anytime Nixon referred to "the Texans," he meant George Bush Sr. Haldeman writes: "In fact, I was puzzled when he [Nixon] told me, 'Tell Ehrlichman this whole group of Cubans [Watergate burglars] is tied to the Bay of Pigs.' After a pause I said, 'The Bay of Pigs?
EHRLICHMAN
When Fidel Castro came into power, most the people in Cuba were starving to death. Cuba was like Las Vegas, it was full of Nightclubs and Casinos that were draining millions of dollars out of the economy every day, and most of the drugs that were coming into the United States, were being smuggled into Miami from Cuba.
They were also afraid that this would have a Domino effect, and that many of the Dictators in the South American countries would follow Fidel Castro's example, because there was just as much organized crime, poverty and injustice in those countries as well.
So the corporations and the Mob came to Vice-President Nixon asking him for his help to remove Castro. Nixon began working secretly with George Bush who was one of the heads of the CIA to try to assassinate Castro.
Prescott Bush was also a key financial backer of Richard Nixon’s campaign against JFK in 1960. He owned large Oil, Sugar and Coffee slave labor Plantations, and Rum distilleries in Cuba, which was part of the Walkers West Indies Spice Company.
In exchange he received large campaign contributions from Pepsi, Ford Motor Co., Standard Oil (Prescott Bush) and from the Casino and Mafia drug dealers.
Nixon Hated Kennedy because he believed Kennedy had stolen the election from him and that therefore JFK's election instead of his was illegitimate. Nixon met with the executives of Pepsi-Cola Co. in Dallas the day before the assassination, and the son of another Pepsi-Cola executive had dinner with Jack Ruby the night before JFK was murdered.
The front page of The Dallas Times Herald on November 21, 1963: had a photograph of Richard Nixon with Pepsi Cola President Donald Kendall in Dallas, Texas on the day before the murder of President Kennedy. The newspaper caption reads:
THE MOB, ORGANIZED CRIME AND JACK RUBYBut when Jack Ruby was interrogated by police he wouldn’t say very much, but once in a while he would give a clue to let every one know who was behind the assassination of JFK.
For example Jack Ruby's comment to reporters while being transferred to his prison cell. "When I mentioned about Adlai Stevenson, if he was vice-president there would never have been an assassination of our beloved President Kennedy."
At first people must have though that Jack Ruby was totally insane and delusional saying that the Nazi’s and President Johnson was involved in President Kennedy’s murder, but he was trying to tell us the truth. Johnson had appointed men like John McCloy and Allen Dulles to the Warren Commission.
He was also friends with Hitler and shared a box with him at the 1936 Olympics, and he was in contact with Rudolph Hess during the War. Allen Dulles was the first Director of the CIA and he was in charge of “Operation Paper Clip,” where they smuggled Nazi war criminals into the United States to utilize their evil talents, in the cold War against Communism.
These men also have a very powerful influence over the main stream media and our judicial system and are fully capable of blocking any real investigation of the facts, as they have done with the twin towers right up to this very day.
President Kennedy had tried to warn us of the dangers of these secret societies such as Skull and Bones, the (CFR) Council on Foreign Relation, and the Bilderberg Group.
A former CIA agent, and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt had a "deathbed confession" where he names the men who killed Kennedy.
Madeleine Brown tells a story of when she meet with her lover Lindon Johnson 6 weeks later at a New Year's Eve party at the Driskoll Hotel in Austin. She had heard roomers that Johnson was responsible for Kennedy's murder. So she burst forth and asked him what had been bothering her for a long time.
"Lyndon, you know that a lot of people believe you had something to do with President Kennedy's assassination." He shot up out the bed and began pacing and waving his arms screaming like a madman. I was scared.
"That's BS, Madeleine Brown!" he yelled.
Don't tell me you believe that crap."
"Of course not," I answered meekly, trying to cool his temper.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, my eyes bulging.
Hell, that! @#__$%_#__!@#$% Irish Mafia Kennedy - with advice from the Invisible Government - came out for suicidal cuts in the oil depletion allowance.
"This was war, Madeleine, to some rich, fat cats in Texas you and I both know. He campaigned on an increased defense budget.
"Who were the Texas oil men, Lyndon? Who are we talking about?" I asked boldly.
Madeleine Duncan Brown has no doubt that Lyndon told her the truth. She believes that LBJ and the Texas oil cartel did what they felt they had to do to protect their own interests.

"If the people knew what we had done, they would chase us down the street and lynch us." - George H.W. Bush.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kennedy was a very sick man for most of his life.
Numerous articles have been written about his health problems including articles in JAMA by pathologists.
Most agree that despite his parent’s longevity, JFK would have had difficulty living into his early 60’s.
“To put it bluntly, long before he died at age 46, Kennedy was a very sick man.”
“As a child, Kennedy nearly died from scarlet fever and also had serious digestive problems — most likely spastic colitis or irritable bowel syndrome, which plagued him for the rest of his life. As a young man, he suffered from urinary tract infections, prostatitis, and a duodenal ulcer. Better known was his notorious spine and back problems that began while playing football in college.
His lower back pain was so severe, he was initially rejected by the both U.S. Army and the Navy when he first volunteered for service in World War II. ““The chronic use of steroids over his lifetime likely caused osteoporosis of various bones in his body, most notably his spine.”
“Yet Kennedy's most serious health issue was Addison's disease. This is an insufficiency of the adrenal glands, the organs which produce the vital hormones that help to control sodium, potassium, and glucose levels in the blood, and mediate the body's reactions to stress. Addison's disease patients often begin their illness by experiencing severe diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue and low blood pressure.
If left untreated, it is a life-threatening disease. Since the late 1930s, doctors have been able to manage this serious illness with the prescription of corticosteroids, which, according to his biographer Robert Dallek, Kennedy probably began taking in one form or another since at least 1947, when he was officially diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency. Some reports, however, claim he may have taken the medication earlier.
The chronic use of steroids over his lifetime likely caused osteoporosis of various bones in his body, most notably his spine, where he suffered from three fractured vertebrae.”
“During his presidency, Kennedy was also treated with a slew of opiate pain killers, local anesthetic (lidocaine) shots for his back pain, tranquilizers such as Librium, amphetamines and stimulants, including Ritalin, thyroid hormones, barbiturate sleeping pills, gamma globulin to stave off infections, as well as the steroid hormones he needed to keep his adrenal insufficiency at bay.
According to The New York Times, during the Cuban missile crisis in October of 1962, the president was prescribed "antispasmodics to control colitis; antibiotics for a urinary infection; and increased amounts of hydrocortisone and testosterone along with salt tablets to control his adrenal insufficiency and boost his energy."
HERE'S A LIST OF JUST SOME OF THE AILMENTS KENNEDY DELT WITH:
Gravely ill, Kennedy was admitted to a London hospital in 1947. His doctor's verdict: "He hasn't got a year to live."
Throughout his early life, John Fitzgerald Kennedy seemed an unlikely prospect for national and international leadership. He was a "rather frail little boy" and almost died of scarlet fever at the age of three. Moreover, his mother has told us that this was "only the beginning": "almost all his life, it seemed, he had to battle against misfortunes of health."
The family used to joke that if a mosquito bit Jack, the mosquito would surely die. In addition to the usual childhood illnesses, John Kennedy suffered from diphtheria, allergies, frequent colds and flu, hives, an irritable colon, a weak stomach which required a bland diet most of his life, and asthma- which caused him considerable difficulty as a teenager.
In 1930 [at the age of 13], he wrote his mother from boarding school complaining of blurriness and color blindness in his right eye.
Approximately one year later, he had to end his studies at the London
School of Economics after coming down with another case of jaundice so
severe that it required hospitalization. In the fall of 1936, he entered Harvard University, where he was closer to his family, but illness followed him.
In addition to back problems so grave that his brother Robert said of him that “at least one half of the days that he spent on this earth were days of intense physical pain,” John F. Kennedy suffered from a debilitating, potentially life-threatening disease for at least the last 16 years of his life.
While on a visit to London in the fall of 1947, Congressman Kennedy became so seriously ill with weakness, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure that he was given the last rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The physician who examined him diagnosed his condition as Addison’s disease and told one of Kennedy’s friends that “he hasn’t got a year to live.”
Journalist Arthur Krock, however, remembered being told by Joseph Kennedy, even before his son first ran for Congress in 1946, that Jack had Addison’s disease and was probably dying. Krock related that Joseph Kennedy “wept sitting in the chair opposite me in the office.”
One of the common symptoms of Addison’s disease is a discoloration or bronzing of the skin. Although several of Kennedy’s biographers indicate that he did not have skin discoloration and/or that he insisted he did not, other observers found that he had a surprisingly deep tan, or yellowish skin, or skin of a greenish tinge.
One who saw him during the 1960 campaign reported that his face was “lined and tanned to the extreme – and rough-looking, like the surface of a steak.” Theodore Sorenson, special counsel to the President, related that Kennedy once responded to a suspicious reporter’s question about his year-round tan “by exposing a part of his anatomy that had not been burned by the sun.”
When Kennedy's plane landed at Love Field in Dallas that day he was killed, listen to the commentator at 2:03 state:
Earlier, when a journalist had asked him about the unusual tinge of his skin, Kennedy replied with uncharacteristic candor, “The doctors say I’ve got a sort of slow motion leukemia, but they tell me I’ll probably last until I’m 45. So I seldom think about it except when I have the shots.”
When Addison’s disease was first discovered in the mid-1800s, it was regarded as fatal. Before 1930, 90 percent of persons with the disease died within five years; but in the late 1930s, researchers developed a synthetic substance, desoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA), which greatly reduced the mortality rate. However, it remained important for those with the disease to avoid great stress, since stress increases the body’s need for steroids, which the Addisonian’s adrenal glands cannot provide.
Classic Addison’s disease has been caused by tuberculosis. Since John Kennedy never suffered from tuberculosis of any kind, he and his spokespersons maintained that he did not have Addison’s disease in the classic sense.
Nevertheless, Kennedy was wholly dependent on the cortisone therapy that Addisonians rely upon for survival. Initially, he took 25 milligrams of cortisone by mouth; he then took it through injection. Also, he had implanted in his thighs DOCA tablets of 150 milligrams, which were replaced several times a year.
There are even reports that the Kennedy family kept a reservoir of DOCA and cortisone in safety deposit boxes around the country so that Jack would have ready access to these medications wherever he traveled.
The Warren Commission report is nothing short of a whitewash lie. It is an insult to the intelligence of every single American. Remember who was on the commission.
CONCLUSION
Well, the American government created "THE HOUSE ASSASSINATIONS COMMITTEE" in 1975 where they allegedly "reopened" the assassinations of John Kennedy and Martin Luther King. 
GEE, THANKS "SELECT COMMITTEE" FOR STATING THE OBVIOUS!
But here is what we know about him:
I had read about Kirk LeMoyne “Lem” Billings earlier but was reminded of him and his friendship with John Kennedy by the post at the link below. Although it is not widely known, Kennedy’s life long friend Lem was gay. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I thought I’d post some interesting points about their friendship (gathered from Wikipedia).
- Billings was a prep school roommate of Kennedy, an usher at his wedding and a campaigner for his successful 1960 presidential bid.
- Joseph Kennedy Sr. called Lem “my second son”.
- Billings, a 16-year-old third-year student, and Kennedy, a 15-year-old second-year student, met at prep school, in the fall of 1933.
- They became fast friends, drawn to each other by their mutual distaste for their strict school.
- Billings repeated his senior year so that he and Kennedy could graduate together in 1935.
- The duo took a summer trip through Europe in the summer of 1937… two and a half months and solidified their friendship.
- Billings was an usher at the wedding of Kennedy and Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in 1953, and usher at the wedding of Kennedy’s sister Jean to Stephen Edward Smith in 1956.
- He worked on Kennedy’s presidential campaign in 1960.
- In 1961, Billings declined Kennedy’s offer to appoint him the first head of the Peace Corps or ambassador to Denmark. He later said: "I realized that I did not want to work for the president — because I felt it would change our relationship.”
- Lem visited the White House for most weekends during the Kennedy Administration. When a butler commented on the fact that Billings was leaving his belongings in one of the third-floor guest rooms, the First Lady replied: “He’s been my house guest since I was married.”
- When the First Lady was away, Billings organized White House dinner parties for the President and old friends.
- And when the President traveled he kept the First Lady company.
- Billings’ role as "first friend” was assessed by many observers at the time and since. Ted Sorensen called him “an admirer — almost a fawning admirer — of his friend.”
- Billings saw the President for the last time when they dined at the White House with Greta Garbo on November 13, 1963,
- Friends from the 1970s confirmed that Billings was gay, but not open to discussing it.
- In 2006, looking back to the Kennedy Administration, Ben Bradlee (executive editor for the Washington Post) said: “I suppose it’s known that Lem was gay….It impressed me that Jack had gay friends.
- Jack made a big difference in my life,” Billings said. “Because of him, I was never lonely. He may have been the reason I never got married.”
WHERE IT SITS TODAY: MINUS MOST OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS OF COURSE:
Operation 40 and its Evil Spider Web
Operation 40 was a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored undercover operation started in the early 1960s, which was to become active in the United States and the Caribbean (including Cuba), Central America, and Mexico as well as Europe and South Africa.
Just before the Bay of Pigs invasion in April of 1961, a super secret special team of skilled killers was put together under the name Operation 40 / Group 40. One of the leaders of the group was CIA’s David Atlee Philips, a key player in the plot against JFK. It is now clear that he was also the so-called controller / handler of none less than the patsy, Lee Harvey Oswald, as well as being the controller of one of the shooters, the man behind the fence on the Grassy Knoll – James Files.
The members of Operation 40 have kept themselves very busy and are involved in the murders of John Lennon, Che Guevara, Salvador Allende, Orlando Letelier, General Prats, South African Robert Smit, the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed seventy-three people, the Watergate burglary, the Iran-Contras scandal, and even 9/11 and onwards.
Allen W. Dulles, the director of the CIA, established Operation 40 after a confidential memorandum from Colonel J. C. King, chief of CIA’s Western Hemisphere Division. It obtained its name because originally there were 40 agents involved, mainly Cuban exiles. It was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and was presided over by Vice-President Richard Nixon.
George Herbert Walker Bush was asked to cooperate in funding the group. The man assigned to him for his new mission was Félix RodrÃguez. This included finding private funding as a result of pressure from American corporations which had suffered at the hands of Fidel Castro.
One member, Frank Sturgis, allegedly told author Mike Canfield: “This assassination group would upon orders, naturally, assassinate either members of the military or the political parties of the foreign country that you were going to infiltrate, and if necessary, some of your own members who were suspected of being foreign agents…”
The Members of Operation 40
David Atlee Philips, a.k.a. “Howard Benson”: The head of Operation 40. Central in countless covert operations, including the hit on JFK. Rose to become the CIA’s chief of all operations in the Western hemisphere.
Theodore “Blond Ghost” Shackley: Station chief of CIA’s Miami Station, a three-time recipient of the Distinguished Intelligence Medal, the CIA’s highest honor. In nearly three decades of service, he was on “the front lines”. According to conspiracy expert, Trowbridge H. Ford, Ted Shackley was also head of a team who killed German Uwe Barschel. In addition, he is pointed out as taking part in planning the murder of John Lennon, carried out by his colleague, Jose Perdomo .
E. Howard Hunt: A front-line CIA supervisor of the Kennedy assassination and many, many other covert operations, including the Watergate burglary.
David “El Indio” Sanchez Morales: Deeply involved in the CIA covert operation that overthrew President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán of Guatemala. Acquired a reputation as CIA’s top assassin in Latin America.Through the 1960s and mid-1970s, Morales was involved at top levels in projects plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, the Bay of Pigs Invasion operation, the JFK assassination, the CIA’s secret war in Laos, the capture of Che Guevara and his real killer, and the overthrow of Salvador Allende.“Stories about him permeated the Agency”, remembered CIA agent Tom Clines. “If the U.S. government as a matter of policy needed someone or something neutralized, Dave would do it, including things that were repugnant to a lot of people.” E. Howard Hunt.
In November 2006, BBC’s Newsnight presented a report by filmmaker Shane O’Sullivan, alleging that three senior CIA operatives were present at the Ambassador Hotel on the night Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated: JMWAVE Chief of Operations David Morales, Chief of Maritime Operations Gordon Campbell, and Chief of Psychological Warfare Operations, George Joannides. The program featured an interview with Morales’s former attorney, Robert Walton, who quoted Morales as having said, “I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard”.
James Files / Sutton: Worked for both the Chicago mob as well as the CIA, with David Atlee Philip as his personal handler. He was recruited to Operation 40 by George Bush Sr, and appointed to be the backup shooter behind the picket fence in Dealey Plaza on November 22nd, 1963, from where he fired the final headshot which blew out the brains of JFK.
He was two years earlier the one who drove hitman Chuckie Nicoletti and two other mafia killers to the airport in Chicago, on their way to be part of taking out Marilyn Monroe.
