I believe Shane is a member of this forum.

Thanks Larry. How would one find these at MFF?

Congrats Doug!

There are some files available through this link but not all - Index of /Collection/White Materials (hood.edu) The Parent Directory doesn't seem to work.

Izquierdo and others are written about here - Essay - The Wheaton Lead (maryferrell.org) Larry Hancock covers this and more in his new book - Tipping Point.

Paul, I'm not sure what to make of Otepka. I do know he was associating with enemies of the Kennedys most of his "career." He was with an organization, can't remember the name off-hand, that had as its members - Robert Morris (see Larrie Schmidt and Loran Hall), Ray Rocca (JJA's assistant), Julian Sourwine, and more that I can't recall at this time. I think my brain might be full... 🙂

Hi Paul, Otepka was associated with Julian Sourwine and his Senate Internal Security Subcommittee. Sourwine was involved with Operation Tilt along with William Pawley.

Can't wait to read it. Thanks Vince.

Hey Ron, Here's Carr's Garrison testimony - showDoc.html (maryferrell.org) This is Carr's "reinterview" in Feb 1964 - showDoc.html (maryferrell.org) Carr's original statement. - https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=10730#relPageId=32

Hey B.A., In late 1963, Hernandez became one of Rafael "Quintero's commandos" in Costa Rica/Nicaragua along with a few others that where at Lake Pontchartrain, LA. Hernandez and 8 others were exfiltrated "black" (Dec 9, 1963) and later needed their I-512s to get back in the US. Luis Sierra would later lead the commando group. In 1965 when the AMWORLD project was winding down, JMAVE Paramilitary officer Tom Clines approached Quintero and inquired whether any of these commandos had an interest in further work. The team would travel to other countries as needed. It appears that Hernandez (and Sierra and possibly Ramon Orozco) accepted. Hernandez would later travel to Panama, Spain, Guatemala... Hernandez was one of the original MRR (Artime's guys) that were trained by Rip Robertson and Carl Jenkins to be a member of the cadre. The cadre was originally trained to become teachers to other Anti-Castro Cubans. He was trained so well that in 1962 he was teaching DRE members on infiltration and paramilitary matters. In July 1964 he travelled to Miami after he contracted an illness (real or cover). He was considered so valuable that Henry Hecksher and later Desmond Fitzgerald got involved in getting him back to Nicaragua. In 1965 he was working with Luis Posada and Luis Sierra in an attempt to overthrow the government of Guatemala.

Cliff, this whole doc is worth a close read. Hubbard said that Owen Darnell (ACSI source) also resembled the Bishop sketch. Veciana would stay at Darnell's apt in San Juan. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=148863#relPageId=16&tab=page I don't believe that Darnell was Bishop though. Phillips also thought the sketch looked like him (Phillips).

For those you that like to see the raw data, here's some.

Doc is from Ted Shackley (Andrew Reuteman pseudo) Notice that "Torres" was working for the Pentagon. Was this Bernado de Torres? showDoc.html (maryferrell.org)

And Kent was keeping an eye on Jim Garrison during his investigation. This was from 1967. Notice that Bolling was under cover as a member of the DOD. Kent's cover is still redacted. Oh, and Bill Boxley aka William Wood is listed here also. e. Miss Gertrude Nagel?

William Kent referred to Oswald as a useful idiot. Kent worked with and for David Phillips when they both were with the Cuba Project (BOP). Later in 1963 Kent appears to have been assigned TDY to JMWAVE where he supervised George Joannides.

Speaking of rifles. I'm always wondering about the province of this one. This was a 300 Magnum scoped rifle that Frank Fiorini/Sturgis gave to Manuel Artime with the engravement of "AMBIDDY/1, Leader of the Revolution, Frank Fiorini". Artime had it up on the wall where it was later stolen in Feb 1965. These docs make for interesting reading. AMCLATTER/1 is Bernard Barker, Sturgis's main CIA contact. Of course, these two would later be arrested as part of the Watergate break-in. Event was about Feb 3. - showDoc.html (maryferrell.org) Suspect was Waldo Bado Perez - showDoc.html (maryferrell.org) AMCLATTER follow up - showDoc.html (maryferrell.org)

Here's an article on the "bronze casket." https://www.onthisday.com/articles/buried-at-sea:-the-casket-that-carried-jfk

Ron, I think John Newman describes it best. We are looking at an out of focus puzzle with pieces missing. We're left with finding new pieces and see if they fit this puzzle. I like this analogy and I'm stealing it! 🙂 And that's what Larry is doing with Tipping Point. Putting in those pieces.

Ron, William Kent was Joannides supervisor during the summer of 1963 using the pseudonym of Robert Trouchard . Kent reported to Phillips during the Cuba Project/BOP using the pseudonym of Douglas Gupton. Here's Trouchard/Kent working with AMBUB-1, Jose Miro Cardona. Signing off as C/Ops is Stanley Zamka aka David Morales. He would often just signoff with a "Z". https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=65504&relPageId=2&search=trouchard Here is Kent/Trouchard as Newby/Joannides' supervisor signing off on his fitness report. https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=16078&search=inghurst#relPageId=8&tab=page

Larry/Steve. Great discussion. Do we know just when in June Cisneros visited Odio? Cisneros was a CIA asset that was reporting to his case officer Alfonso Rodriguez aka Willard Nauman. A-Rod reported to SAS chief Dez Fitzgerald and was a one of the main players in the Split the Regime project. He was previously a special assistant under William Harvey. A-Rod was mostly concerned with the JURE autonomous operations branch of this. The others being AMTRUNK, AMWORLD and the AMLASH/Cubela operations. Manuel Ray would also meet with A-Rod but tried to maintain his independence from the CIA. The number 3 guy in JURE was Carlos Zarraga who was charged with weapons procurement. There is good reason to believe he was AMOT-133 who reported up to Tony Sforza. AMOT-133 was the contact for Herminio Diaz Garcia.

She was under consideration as an Intelligence Officer. She was "rather goofy." https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=51783#relPageId=2&tab=page

As John Newman says, the CIA often had a black op contained in a standard operation. If I was a conspiracy minded individual, I'd say that Sforza was coordinating with Phillips as part of Phase One - LHO was a communist and Castro had JFK assassinated. Like getting his asset Gilberto Alvarado to fabricate that he saw Oswald accept $6500 from a "red headed Cuban" at the Cuban Consulate to kill JFK.

Sloman/Sforza was to call Choaden/Phillips at the office or at home. This doesn't actually prove that Phillips answered. And where was Phillips' "home" on 11/22/63? This was the woman that Sloman/Sforza was to meet. AMHALF's wife - https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=45337&search="olga_rosquete"#relPageId=2&tab=page Sforza was involved in Juanita Castro's defection (AMSTRUT-2). Sforza aka Frank Stevens aka Enrique - https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=180702#relPageId=3&tab=page Tony Sforza was also working on recruiting Azcue during the summer of 1963. Winston Scott was putting pressure on his guys and Sforza to recruit Azcue before he was scheduled to return to Cuba in early Oct 1963. Sforza had sent in one of his AMOT's, AMOT-106 Jose CASAS who was friends with Azcue to make an approach to recruit Azcue.

Hi Tracy. Bill Simpich provides some good background on the plots to assassinate Castro in the summer of 1961. Jim Bouling was Jim Pekich. Pekich organized the networks that still existed in Cuba. Carl Hitch was Cal Hicks. Hicks was a paramilitary officer that worked on the Cuba Project/BOP. He worked with some of the Cuban recruits in the New Orleans area along his assistant Guy Vitale. Hicks was Veciana's CO up until 1962 when Veciana lost his POA and joined up with Eloy Gutierrez-Menoyo's SFNE. In 1962 Hicks and Vitale would work for Bill Harvey as part of the PM staff for Task Force W. Hicks would be promoted to Chief, WH/4/Paramiltary replacing Col. Art Maloney in 1964. Hicks later went to work for David Phillips as part of Phillips Intelligence Watch group. Harold Bishop was likely their supervisor during the Cuba Project/BOP.
