This is a series on how President John F. Kennedy was killed.  This series examines three men who are intimately tied to the background and the evidence on JFK’s murder.   As Carl Sagan liked to say, “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.”  

The chapters will be brief and to the point.  After bringing the relevant facts about these three men and their colleagues from the public and private sectors to the surface, I will leave it to the readers and the public to decide on the extraordinary nature of this evidence.   

I believe that these men were looking for payback for how they believed the President had betrayed the country.  I am convinced that the American people are ready for payback for how we have been misled since the President’s death – and the way to get it is straight talk, a serious declassification of documents, and a tough-minded analysis of the hard evidence.

Chapter 1:  Kill The Cameras

In 1963, large groups of people hated JFK for his policies.  They felt he endangered the world’s safety—just like large groups of people feel today about Donald Trump.

The difference?  Those people took matters into their own hands in 1963.  It was payback.

This country had big troubles long before 1963.   It has been torn apart ever since 1963.

Alice Walker said it best: “Only justice will stop a curse.”

It’s time to stand and fight.

Why wait another 60 years, or 600 years, asking for crumbs from the table?  It’s time to challenge the government to release all of its hidden files about contested historical events.

We need everything we can find about the killings of the Kennedys, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr.  We should not forget people like Fred Hampton, John Lennon, and many other similar murders that are very painful to discuss.

Secrecy is destroying us as a country.  A country that doesn’t know its own history will crumble into little jagged pieces.   There are never-ending questions about the history of assassinations, lynchings, Vietnam, Watergate, Jonestown, Oklahoma City, 9/11, January 6, the attempts on Trump, the killing of Charlie Kirk, and most recently the Epstein files.

Theories about assassinations and similar shocking events are inevitable until we have a whole new policy focused on serious declassification of withheld documents.

Here is a historical example:  The French government had a conflict similar to the Vietnam war – the Algerian war during the 1950s.  The military revolt over the French government’s unwillingness to continue the conflict led to the fall of the Fourth Republic.

The French people chose de Gaulle to lead the Fifth Republic.  When he decided to let Algeria have its freedom, ultra-rightists in the military led a stealth advance into Paris.  De Gaulle called JFK asking him to keep the CIA out of this conflict, which coincided with the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961.

JFK heeded de Gaulle’s warning by stepping up his own policy of decolonization.  All this – which has been shaky the whole time, especially during the Civil War period and after Lincoln was shot – led to the cratering of what I call our First Republic.

Has anyone noticed that we have been at war with ourselves for at least the last 63 years, since 1963?

Will the US recover its purpose as a nation?   Are we going to see a breakup of the US into separate nation-states, based on a precarious compromise with DC holding the nuclear trigger?  Is it time for a Second American Republic?

Can the United States unflinchingly confront its past?  That is the fundamental question.

Kill the cameras. Kill JFK.  Kill the patsy.

Here’s ten points worth examining how we lost JFK in 1963 that will be reviewed in the course of this series.

1. If the cameras had been kept on him and his motorcade on 11/22/63, the regime change artists lying in wait for him would not have been willing to expose their shooting positions.  They didn’t want to get caught.

2. The bad guys turned off the lights. The flatbed truck which traditionally provided the best camera angles for close-ups of the President in the motorcade was mysteriously not to be found in Dallas.   Similarly, JFK’s doctor and his military guards carrying the nuclear football were banished to the back of the line.  I will discuss the motorcade in the next chapter.

As a result, the media was blinded and JFK’s support team could not reach him when the fatal shots were fired.  Secret Service agent Winston Lawson, a trained counterintelligence officer in charge of the motorcade, had made that impossible.

3. The result was fatal to the President, due to bullets to the front and back of his head. Texas governor John Connally also suffered severe wounds, while their wives and the Secret Service agents went unharmed.   See Josiah Thompson’s Last Second in Dallas for the details.

4. By 5 pm Eastern time, both J. Edgar Hoover and McGeorge Bundy spread the word in high-level circles that Lee Oswald was the shooter and that he acted alone.   Due to the timing of these two separate extraordinary announcements, I assume this story was the creation of Hoover, LBJ and his aides.

5. At about 6:30 pm, military autopsy doctors with no experience with gunshot wounds were tasked with the most important job of their lives.

6. JFK’s brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy, told CIA Director John McCone that afternoon that he believed that his officers were involved.  He also suspected Teamster leader Jimmy Hoffa, who had threatened RFK’s life back in 1962.  Both RFK and JFK’s wife Jacqueline Kennedy told the Soviet leadership that JFK was killed due to a domestic operation.

7. News reports stated that Oswald asked for the Communist Party’s general counsel John Abt to represent him in court.   Such an act was designed to enrage the American public.   Why would Oswald – who protested that he was innocent at every opportunity – damage his chances in court, to say nothing about the negative influence on public opinion, by requesting an attorney who spent most of his career as chief counsel to the Communist Party USA (CPUSA)?

8. On November 24, Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby, a known Cuban gunrunner from the Dallas underworld.  Ruby had met Tampa Mafia boss Santos Trafficante in a Cuban jail.  Ruby also had ties to Louisiana boss Carlos Marcello, Chicago mobster Sam Giancana and CIA ally Johnny Roselli.

9. Three men admitted involvement and tried to cover it up.   David Morales, the CIA’s chief of operations in Florida,  later admitted that “we” killed JFK and RFK. Roselli also made similar admissions.  William Harvey, the CIA’s chief of assassinations, made statements on 11/22/63 that indicated advance knowledge without a trace of sorrow.  Harvey and Roselli embarked on a years-long media campaign blaming Castro for JFK’s death, using the journalist Jack Anderson as their principal megaphone.

10. What happened when the Church Committee got serious about investigating assassinations in the wake of Watergate and revelations of domestic spying?

Between 1975-1976, three key mobsters were murdered:  Jimmy Hoffa disappeared, never to be seen again.  Giancana was killed in his kitchen, with bullets shot all around his mouth. Johnny Roselli’s body was cut up and stuffed into a steel drum.  The word on the street was that Trafficante was involved with the murder of Roselli, who had offered provocative comments to government investigators.

Two months before the Roselli hit, William Harvey had a fatal heart attack. It was just days before he had a return visit scheduled for further testimony to the Church Committee.   Two years later, David Morales had a fatal heart attack shortly before he was to receive a subpoena from the HSCA for his testimony.

After a two-year investigation, the public was told by the House Select Committee for Assassinations that two shooters probably killed JFK and that there were more than three shots.  The committee then disbanded.  The message was clear: it was time to move on.

Who organized the killing of JFK?

This series is about William Harvey, Johnny Roselli, and David Morales, known regime change artists, and examines their probable role as the focal point of the JFK assassination.

William Harvey was based in Washington until shortly before JFK’s death as the head of the CIA’s assassination program ZRRIFLE; as head of the Cuba division known as Task Force W, and as head of the wiretapping division known as Staff D.  He had also sat at the summit of power with the Kennedy brothers and other leaders as part of the Special Group, Augmented during 1962, culminating with a battle with RFK at the height of the Cuban missile crisis which resulted in his demotion and banishment to Rome.

Johnny Roselli, a lieutenant of Harvey who worked with him in various kill-Castro plots, was a Los Angeles-based mobster friendly with Chicago boss Sam Giancana and Tampa boss Santa Trafficante.

David Morales was the initial head of the CIA’s anti-Castro Cuban intelligence service known as the AMOTs.  By late 1961, Harvey had enlisted Morales to work with him as the operations chief of the Miami based JMWAVE station.

All three of these men worked the eastern seaboard in furtherance of their joint pursuit to overthrow the Castro regime – including New York City – the home base of the Fair Play for Cuba Committee that would be the downfall of Lee Oswald after he joined their ranks.   Miami was the epicenter of their work.

I believe the evidence shows that these three men were the promoters of the JFK assassination.  All three of these men had contact with powerful men in high places, including the Pentagon, other agencies, and organized crime – all of whom wanted to see JFK replaced by any means available in the wake of the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban missile crisis, and the nuclear test ban treaty.   A good example is Curtis LeMay of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:  He continually advocated for a first strike on the USSR, fought JFK tooth and nail right to the day of his death, and blew cigar smoke into the faces of the autopsy personnel.

I will also touch on the steady stream of fascists, racists, and militarists who wanted JFK dead.   People like Joseph Milteer of Georgia and his National States Rights Party were wiretapped before and after the events of 11/22/63.  Milteer admitted his knowledge of the plan to kill JFK and then exulted in the aftermath.

The historian David Mantik hit the ball out of the park with his recent book JFK Was Killed by Consensus.  He outlines in great length the hatred of JFK’s enemies and the lengths they were willing to go.  This series will discuss the consensus that “he had to go” and document the ties of JFK’s enemies to Harvey, Roselli and Morales.

I will provide little airtime to whether JFK was killed by Colonel Mustard with the nightstick in the conservatory.    The footage from Dealey Plaza and the accounts of the witnesses tell us everything we need to know in that department.

What we need to resolve is whether Harvey, Roselli and Morales were the focal point of the JFK assassination, how the operation was accomplished, and how that murder led to a wave of similar killings and shocking events that has disrupted American society to its core right up to the present day.

It took about thirty people to conduct this operation in the days before November 22.   I will name a number of these persons of interest in this series.   There is a solid case against them that needs to be squarely laid out.

My inquiry into this group will center on William Harvey, Johnny Roselli and David Morales.  These three men directed traffic from the brokers at the summit of power (Harvey), to the foot soldiers in the southern United States (Roselli), to the operatives who knew how to deliver regime change up close and personal (Morales). These men made sure the killing happened.  These men made sure the cover-up continued right up to their deaths in 1976 and 1978.  These men found out that they – too – were expendable.
