http://ajweberman.com/coupt5.htm I received in the mail today a recent public statement issued by Howard Phillips, Chairman of the Conservative Caucus, which has its national headquarters in Vienna, Virginia. Howie was a member of the initial board of Directors of Young American for Freedom, having been elected to that position at the organizing meeting held at Great Elm, the family home of William F. Buckley, in Sharon, Connecticut in 1960. At the time of his election as a director, Howie was president of the student council at Harvard University. Although Jewish, he was anti-Zionist, being a member of the World Council of Judaism,
The title of Howie’s document received today is “E. Howard Hunt Was An American Patriot Who Dedicated His Life To Serving His Country.”
The opening paragraphs of the document are as follows:
“The late Howard Hunt, who died earlier this month, was an American patriot whom I was privileged to know during the time he served on the staff of President Nixon’s White House Counsel, Chuck Colson.
“When he and Gordon Liddy were arrested following the Watergate break-in, his attorney was my friend, Douglas Caddy, the founder and first National Director of Young Americans for Freedom.
“Hunt frequently called to pick my brain concerning Federal funding of pro-Communist Left-Wing activists in the context of Lyndon Johnson’s ‘Great Society’ programs.
“At the time, I was the White House’s Office of Economic Opportunity ‘Watch Dog” and Special Assistant to then OEO Director Frank Carlucci who made decisions to fund many of these Marxist activities.
“Hunt was, at one point, associated with the Mullen Company, a CIA asset, headed by future U.S. Senator Robert Bennett.”
Appended to these opening paragraphs in Howie’s public statement is an article on Hunt’s death published by the New York Post on January 14, 2007 (page 7). The Post’s article reads as follows:
“...In a new memoir, ‘American Spy: My Secret History in the CIA, Watergate & Beyond,’ due out in April, Hunt, 88, writes: ‘Having Kennedy liquidated, thus elevating himself to the presidency without having to work for it himself, could have been a very tempting and logical move on Johnson’s part.
“‘LBJ had the money and the connections to manipulate the scenario in Dallas and is on record as having convinced JFK to make the appearance in the first place. He further tried unsuccessfully to engineer the passengers of each vehicle, trying to get his good buddy, Gov. [John] Connally, to ride with him instead of in JFK’s car – where...he would have been out of danger.’
“Hunt says Johnson also had easy access to CIA man William Harvey, who’d been demoted when he tired to have Fidel Castro poisoned in defiance of orders to drop covert operations against Cuba. Harvey was ‘a ruthless man who was not satisfied with his position in the CIA and its government salary,’ Hunt writes.
“‘He definitely had dreams of becoming [CIA Director] and LBJ could do that for him if he were president....[LBJ} would have used Harvey because he was available and corrupt.’”
