Watergate, Bay of Pigs and Dallas

[Paul Kangas]

Why was the Watergate burgalarized? This is the key question we must answer today in 2006. The CIA was trying to plug up a possible news leak. They were trying to stop the Democrats from publishing the photos of Hunt & Sturgis under arrest for the murder of JFK (May 7, 1977, SF Chronicle.) This is an interview of Frank Sturgis, published in the SF newspaper!

Presently, there is a law suit attempting to force the government to release the records about the Bay of Pigs invasion. Why are those documents still secret? Why are they locked in the National Archives along with all the photos from [the] Dallas assassination of JFK until 2039?

Why are the 4000 hours of Watergate tapes in which Nixon is babbling endlessly about the mysterious connections between the Bay of Pigs, Dallas and Watergate, also being sealed in the National Archives? Is it because all three incidents are connected? Worse, the CIA lawyers just got a court to order that the tapes are actually Nixon's property, so can now be hidden in the Nixon Library, so no researchers can listen to the relevant parts. Did you know that is how the Watergate tapes were disappeared?!

Yes. We must demand the secret files on these 4 cases be released now. For a copy of the petition to release the files, please write to: Paul Kangas, private investigator, 15 Boardman, SF, CA 94103. Thanks to Oliver Stone's blockbuster new movie on JFK, and Spike Lees movie on Malcolm X, there is now sufficient national movement to reopen all these cases. The White House feared Stone's new movie, JFK, so much that they hired 50 CIA journalists, like Posner, to slander the movie before it even came out! KPFA & Larry Bensky trot out Posner to attack critics of the CIA, anytime they get too much press. Do not fall for it. Bensky is probably one of the few assets of the CIA who does not even get a check from the CIA. He does it just because he was well brain washed by his college.

Every serious investigator now agrees that Oswald did not shoot JFK. That James Earl Ray did not shoot Dr. Martin Luther King, and that Sirhan Sirhan did not shoot Robert Kennedy. Do you find any of that shocking? These cases must be reopened so that Sirhan can be set free. The only bar that keeps Sirhan in prison is the tremendous anti-arab racism in Americans: in both blacks & whites.

According to a biography of Richard Nixon, his close personal and political ties with the Bush family go back to 1941 when Nixon claims he read an ad in an L.A. newspaper, placed by a wealthy group of businessmen, led by Prescot Bush, the father of George Bush. They wanted a young, malleable candidate to run for Congress. Nixon applied for the position and won the job. Nixon became a mouthpiece for the Bush group. (Source: Freedom Magazine, 1986, L.F. Prouty).

In fact, Prescot Bush is credited with creating the winning ticket of Eisenhower-Nixon in 1952.(Source: George Bush, F. Green, Hipocrene, 1988).

Newly discovered FBI documents prove that Jack Ruby has been an employee of Richard Nixon since 1947. That FBI document Ruby is listed as working as a spy & hit man for Nixon. On Nov. 22, 63 Ruby was seen by a women who knew him well, Julian Ann Mercer, approximately an hour before the arrival of JFK's motorcade, unloading a man carrying a rifle in a case at the Grassy Knoll from his car. Ruby later was seen on national TV killing a witness who could link Nixon & Bush to the killing of JFK: Oswald. On the Trail of the Assassins, Garrison, p xiii.

Richard Nixon was Vice President from 1952 until 1960. In fact, Nixon was given credit for planning Operation 40, the secret 1961 invasion of Cuba, during his 1959 campaign for President After Batista was kicked out by the starving people of Cuba, and Fidel Castro came to power, Castro began telling American corporations they would have to pay Cuban employees decent wages. Even worse, Pepsi Cola was told it would now have to pay world market prices for Cuban sugar.

Pepsi, Ford Motor Co., Standard Oil and the Mafia drug dealers decided Fidel had to be removed since his policies of requiring corporations to pay market wages was hurting their profits. So the corporations asked then Vice-President Nixon to remove Fidel. Nixon promised he would, just as soon as he'd won the 1960 elections against some underdog, an unknown Democrat named John Kennedy. It would be an easy victory for Nixon. The polls had Nixon winning by a landslide. Besides, Kennedy was a Catholic, and Americans would no more elect a Catholic President than they would elect a woman, a black or a Jew. This was 1959.

Nixon told Pepsi, Standard Oil and other corporations who lost property given back to the farmers of Cuba, that if they would help him win, he would authorize an invasion to remove Castro. To further impress contributors to his campaign, then Vice-President Nixon asked the CIA to create Operation 40, a secret plan to invade Cuba, just as soon as he won.

The CIA put Texas millionaire and CIA agent George Bush in charge of recruiting Cuban exiles into the CIA's invasion army. Bush was working with another Texas oilman, Jack Crichton, to help him with the invasion. A fellow Texan, Air Force General Charles Cabel, was asked to coordinate the air cover for the invasion.

Most of the CIA leadership around the invasion of Cuba seems to have been people from Texas. A whole Texan branch of the CIA is based in the oil business. If we trace Bush's background in the Texas oil business we discover his two partners in the oil-barge leasing business: Texan Robert Mosbacher and Texan James Baker. Mosbacher is now Secretary of Commerce and Baker is Secretary of State, the same job Dulles held when JFK was killed. (Source: Common Cause magazine, 3-4/90).

On the Watergate tapes, June 23, 1972, referred to in the media as the "smoking gun" conversation, Nixon and his Chief of Staff, H.R. Haldeman, discussed how to stop the FBI investigation into the CIA Watergate burglary. They were worried that the investigation would expose their conection to "the Bay of Pigs thing." Haldeman, in his book The Ends of Power, reveals that Nixon always used code words when talking about the 1963 murder of JFK. Haldeman said Nixon would always refer to the assassination as "the Bay of Pigs."

On that transcript we find Nixon discussing the role of George Bush's partner, Robert Mosbacher, as one of the Texas fundraisers for Nixon. On the tapes Nixon keeps refering to the "Cubans" and the "Texans." The "Texans" were Bush, Mosbacher and Baker. This is another direct link between Bush and evidence linking Nixon and Bush to the Kennedy assassination.

In the same discussion Nixon links "the Cubans," "the Texans," "Helms," "Hunt," "Bernard Barker," Robert "Mosbacher" and "the Bay of Pigs." Over and over on the Watergate tapes, these names come up around the discussion of the photos from Dallas that Nixon was trying to obtain when he ordered the CIA to burglarize the Watergate. (Source: Three Men and a Barge", Teresa Riordan, Common Cause magazine, March/April 1990, and San Francisco Chronicle, May 7,1977, interview with Frank Sturgis in which he stated that "the reason we burglarized the Watergate was because Nixon was interested in stopping news leaking related to the photos of our role in the assassination of President John Kennedy.")

After Nixon's landslide victory in 1972, he knew he had to centralize all power into the White House to keep his faction in power, not only to hold power, but to prevent the media from digging into how he secretly shot his way into the White House, just like Hitler shot his way into control of Germany. The first thing Nixon did was to demand signed resignations of his entire government. "Eliminate everyone," he told John Ehrlichman about reappointment, "except George Bush. Bush will do anything for our cause." (Source: Pledging Allegiance, Sidney Blumenthal.)

The reason why Bush will 'do anything" is because his hands have as much of Kennedy's blood on them as do Nixon's, Hunt's, Sturgis's, Felix Rodriguez's and Gerald Ford's. This White House gang fears that if the public ever realizes how they shot their way into power in Dallas, it could set off a spark that would destroy their fragile fraud and land them in jail. Or worse.

Other famous Watergate members of the CIA invasion that Bush recruited were Frank Sturgis, E. Howard Hunt, Bernard Barker and Rafael Quintero. Quintero has said publicly that if he ever told what he knew about Dallas and the Bay of Pigs, "It would be the biggest scandal ever to rock the nation."

Meanwhile, in 1960, Prescot Bush was running Nixon's campaign. Nixon was sent to South Vietnam to assure the French-connection government there that if France pulled out, the U.S. would step in to protect the drug trade from the GoIden Triangle. (Source: Frontline, 1988, "Guns. Drugs and the CIA"; Alexander Cockburn; "Cocaine, the CIA and Air America," S.F. Examiner, Feb. 2, '91; The Politics of Heroin in Southeast Asia, Alfred McCoy, 1972.)

In 1959, Vice President Nixon was flying all over the world, acting just like presidential material. It was an easy race for Nixon. Congressman Jerry Ford was doing a great job fundraising for Nixon, as was George Bush. The rich loved Nixon. The media picked up every bone Nixon tossed out to them. The biggest problem was that Nixon was afraid to speak openly of his plan to invade Cuba. The plan was a secret. No sense in alerting Cuba to the coming invasion. But Kennedy was taking a harder line on Cuba than Nixon, because Kennedy was not aware of the corporate/CIA planned invasion.

Nixon lost the 1960 race by the smallest margin in history. At first Bush, Nixon, Cabel and Hunt decided to just go ahead with the invasion, without informing President Kennedy. Then, at the last second, at 1 a.m., just two hours before the invasion was set to go, US Air Force General Cabel called President Kennedy, at 1am, and asked for permission to provide U.S. Air Force air cover for the CIA invasion. Kennedy woke up his whole cabinet and discussed the situation for an hour. When General Cabel called back for the final go ahead, at 3a.m., Kennedy said, "No!" He told them, "You can call it a black bag operation, a private operation, but you can not involve the U.S. government is such a dirt bag operation."

The CIA was furious with JFK, but Bush decided to go ahead with their "private" invasion anyway. Due to poor intelligence, the CIA landed at the worst possible beach. I remember that day well. I was on duty monitoring the invasion from our secret Navy base in Maryland. They landed before dawn, in a huge swamp. At the worst possible hour, during low tide. You would think someone in the CIA would be smart enough to at least check the tide tables. So there was miles of mud before the shore. So the CIA ships could not get in close to the beach. The CIA soldiers were sitting ducks for the women soldiers of Cuba who happen to be defending that beach that morning. Yes, most of the Cuban militia who stopped the CIA that day, were armed women! The invasion failed. The CIA lost 1500 of its best men, killed, with another 1100, captured and now in Cuban prisons. It was the worst single blow to the CIA, in the history of the CIA, that the CIA ever suffered. (Source: E. Howard Hunt, Give Us This Day.)

Bush, Nixon, Sturgis and Hunt blamed Cabel for even asking Kennedy, and blamed Kennedy for saying "No". They were livid with anger. Nixons corporate sponsors, Pepsi, Ford, GE & AT&T, ordered JFK to make any deal necessary to recover the 1100 CIA agents imprisoned in Cuba. JFK did. Once the CIA had its well-trained Cubans back, ( Alpha 66 ) they decided to continue the invasion of Cuba, just as soon as they could get rid of that S.O.B. Kennedy.

The 1964 election was fast approaching. Nixon was running against Kennedy again. Bush, Ford and Nixon knew that they had to get rid of JFK now, or else the Kennedy clan, with Robert and Ted in the wings, could control the White House until 1984. They decided not to wait until '84 to get back into the White House. The Cuban teams of "shooters", supervised by Bush, began following Kennedy from city to city looking for a window of opportunity to shoot from. They came close in Miami, but JFK had the bullet proof bubble on his Limo. They tried in Chicago, but couldn't get the cooperation of Mayor Daley.

But in Dallas, they had an ace. The mayor was the brother of General Cabel, whom the CIA blamed for the failure of the invasion. Pay back time. The general prevailed on his brother, Earl, and the motorcade was changed to pass the grassy knoll at 7 m.p.h. The Sheriff and the Mayor insisted that the bullet proof bubble had to be removed from JFK's Limo, "...so the people of Dallas could get a better look at JFK".

The Secret Service was in on the Bush ambush. I was also part of an armed marching Navy guard unit for Presient John F. Kennedy at the time and our whole unit was ordered to "stand down", so there were no marching armed military guards with JFK when he rode his motorcade in the deadly hostile streets of Dallas. It was a turkey shoot.

I had marched, armed, beside President Kennedy's car several times in Washington, DC, when I was stationed there in 1960-61. That was the first, and last time, in history, when a President rode in a motorcade without the armed marching units of the Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines surronding him, as he rode in public, and without his bullet proof bubble.

Hunt and Sturgis shot JFK from the grassy knoll. They were arrested, photographed and seen by 15 witnesses. But the media turned a blind eye to the photos, and for 25 years the world has been searching for the truth. Pepsi Cola was having a board meeting in Dallas that week. Joan Crawford, wife of Mr. Kendel, Pres. of Pepsi, Richard Nixon, and others from Pepsi, Ford, GM & GE were all at the Pepsi Corp. Board meeting in Dallas, from November 17th, until November 23. As was Joan Crawford, wife of the president of Pepsi. The "meeting" was actually the CIA planning meeting for the ambush of JFK. As soon as JFK was dead, they all fled Dallas, in their private planes. Read the Dallas Morning News, which reported all this on Novmember 21, 1963.

On the day JFK was murdered, Nixon, Hunt, Sturgis, Bush and some of the Watergate crew were photographed in Dallas, as were a group of Cubans, one holding an umbrella up, like a signal, next to the President's limo just as Kennedy was shot. The Cubans can be seen holding up the signal umbrella in the Zapruder film and dozens of stills taken during the assassination. After the murder they can be seen calmly walking away.

We have just now reconstructed the Zapruder film, restoring the missing 6 frames, plus added a sound track to the new Zapruder Film, from the audio tape made by the motorcycle police officer who accidentaly recorded the gun fire coming from the grassy knoll. The audio tape is the best time line we have of the number of shots fired by Hunt and Sturgis.

Hey, I can not say they things unless they are true. I could be sued by Bush if what I say is not true. I have said this, in public, over 3,000 times, at most college along the West Coast, since 1975, when I first discovered that Bush was behind the JFK ambush. I have never been sued, because everything you read here is the best evidence I have been able to develop during this investigation.

Nixon denied he was in Dallas that day, but new photos and stories prove he was there. Nixon claimed, to the FBI investigators, who suspected Nixon was behind the ambush, because Nixon had the most to gain from the assassination, that, "he couldn't remember where he was when JFK was killed." (Source: FBI memo, Feb. 23, 1964, published in Coup d'etat in America, Michael Canfield). ( I have 9 copies of this book left, if you want a copy. One of the best books on the subject. Send me $30.)

Bush, too, claims he can't remember where he was. Numerous FBI files, eye witness statements, even Bushs own personal records show he was in Dallas, from Nov. 17, until Nov. 23, 1963! Why does Bush feel he has a need to lie, if he has none of JFKs blood on his hands? Why are Bushs records from the Bay of Pigs still secret? Why are Bushs records from the Watergate period still held secret?

Jack Anderson did a TV special in 1988 proving beyond any shadow of doubt that two of the tramps arrested in Dallas behind the grassy knoll were Hunt and Sturgis.

After the assassination, Citizens groups, like Mark Lane, and even sleepy members of Congress set up committees to investigate the assassination. NY attorney Mark Lane, to his credit, has still continued to investigate, even now in 2006. After the murder, Bush and former Vice President Nixon, to block all this citizens activity, asked President Lyndon Johnson to appoint Nixon's friend, former FBI agent Jerry Ford, to run the Warren Commission.

Nixon also asked LBJ to appoint Nixon's long-time supporter, Judge Earl Warren, to head the Commission. LBJ agreed. Ford interviewed all the witnesses and decided which ones would be heard and which ones eliminated. It is no coincidence that Nixon selected Ford as his Vice President after Spiro Agnew was ousted. When Nixon himself got busted, in the Watergate scandal, Earl Warren offered to set up another special commission if it would help get him out of trouble again. Ford, of course, pardoned Nixon for the assassination of JFK and the Watergate burglary. But, even tho Nixon is dead, Nixons historical records is still not out of the woods. By putting Bush and Nixon on trail now, during the impeachment of Bush jr., we can end this national nightmare that has gone on since 1963.

There are 4000 hours of Watergate tape. On the June 23, 1972, discussions with John Ehrlichman and Haldeman there is clear evidence that Nixon is openly "confessing" to hiring Hunt to kill JFK. That is why the Watergate "investigation" went into secret session after Congress heard some of the tapes. This is why only 12 hours of 4000 hours have been released to the public.

Did Congress realize that Nixon and Bush had openly discussed killing JFK for stopping the air cover for the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba?

Remember, Nixon taped virtually every discussion he had with anyone in his inner circle, including Bush and Johnson, in order to blackmail people later. There is a photo of Bush reporting to Nixon in the White House in 1968. It will be interesting to see what they were talking about on that day, when the full 4000 hours are finally released. The key to unlocking the secrets behind the 1963 murder of JFK is hidden in the 3988 hours of unreleased White House tapes. Bush was in Dallas again, on the day Reagan was shot. (Source: George Bush, F. Green, 1988.) That must have given Bush a flashback to November 22,1963.

Is this story credible? On Jan 13, 2006, the full story was published on the front page of the Cuban national newspaper, Granma! Thirty million copies were distributed world wide. You can read the story on their web site. www.granmainternational.com To most people in the world, that says loads about the facts, analysis, logic and credibility of this article. Someone will write a better investigation, hopefully someday. Probably when the Watergate tapes are finally released in 2069. Hey, do not wait. Organize or join the march against the war, in your town, October 2006.

A very informative posting, EXCEPT for the identification of Sturgis

as one of the tramps, which is mistaken. The tall tramp was definitely

CHARLES HARRELSON, who looks nothing like Sturgis.

Jack

There's no way the tall tramp was Harrelson. Their faces are only slightly similar, their ears don't match, their cheeks don't match.

Has anyone ever seen a *younger* photo of Gedney? All we have to go by are photos of him in his dotage.

Mark

Have you ever seen a photo of Harrelson?

Another.

Why was the Watergate burgalarized? This is the key question we must answer today in 2006. The CIA was trying to plug up a possible news leak. They were trying to stop the Democrats from publishing the photos of Hunt & Sturgis under arrest for the murder of JFK (May 7, 1977, SF Chronicle.) This is an interview of Frank Sturgis, published in the SF newspaper!

Welcome to the forum Paul. I doubt you would remember but we spoke on the phone once shortly after Oliver Stone's JFK came out.

Hasn't anyone pointed out to you before that there was no story about Sturgis and their alleged photos in the May 7, 1977 SF Chronicle? There was a story May 5, however, as follows:

Watergater Blames CIA

(Dallas)

Watergate burglar Frank Sturgis said yesterday the CIA planned

the break-in because high officials felt the then-President Nixon

was becoming too powerful and was overly interested in the

assassination of President Kennedy.

Sturgis also said he believes "Deep Throat" -- a major source for

Washington Post reporters Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward -- was

Robert Bennett, a partner in a CIA-front public relations firm in

Washington. Bennett, a son of former Senator Wallace Bennett

(Rep-Utah), is employed by the Summa Corp., part of the empire

of the late Howard Hughes. Hughes was a major client of Mullen

Corp., Bennett's old firm.

Sturgis was convicted in the break-in at Democratic headquarters.

He said Bennett -- on orders from then-CIA Director Richard Helms

-- was fed information by Alexander Haig, Nixon's chief of staff;

Alexander Butterfield, who disclosed the existence of Nixon's

taping system; and Watergate burglar Howard Hunt.

This story was covered in other papers also. Nothing about photos.

Jack,

I swear to God I'm not trying to be obstreperous for the hell of it. I say yes, there's a resemblance. But to my eyes, the ears don't match, the nose flare doesn't match, the hairline is different, etc.

Also, I've seen Harrelson on TV a few times giving interviews, and I would say he's a rangy, charming, laid-back kind of guy whereas the tall tramp seems to be more flat and vacant in his affect.

Anyway, tomato tomahto, others see Sturgis in this guy (I don't get that one either.)

Mark

You do not find it interesting that Harrelson was an associate of Jack Ruby?

The Harrelson you have seen on TV is many years after 1963. He has put

on a lot of weight in prison. You do not find it interesting that he was incarcerated

at the Texas state prison in Huntsville, but that when researcher Gary Shaw

made an appointment with the prison system to visit him in Huntsville, the

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MOVED HIM TO A FEDERAL MAX SECURITY PRISON

IN ILLINOIS, even though killing a federal judge at that time was NOT a

federal offense? You do not know that when arrested, Harrelson CONFESSED

TO KILLING JFK? You do not know that he told officers the shooting was done

by "AGENTS IN THE TREES"? Your knowledge of Harrelson is seriously deficient.

Jack

[Jack White]

Did you know that Beverly Oliver says that "Chuck" was a friend

of George McGann and attended their wedding? She did not know

his last name, but identified his photos as "Chuck". Best man at the

wedding was mobster Russell D. Matthews (rear in photo), who

was Jack Ruby's self-proclaimed best friend. Matthews and Ruby

were involved in running guns to Cuba. Beverly Oliver is seen in

many DP photos using a movie camera.

You are entitled to your (erroneous) opinion regarding Chuck.
