Siragusa talks to Fonzi and Gonzales. He used to work for Angleton and kept in contact with him.- http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/180-10077-10020.pdf Some good info on Harvey. Anyone know what Silverthorne means? http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/157-10014-10109.pdf

Here's an interesting contingency doc from the Califano papers on what would happen if Fidel died. http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/198-10006-10003.pdf

It's good to see a nod to Larry and Alan. Two long time researchers. Larry (the other Larry H) went with the local sheriff to delivery a subpoena from Garrison to Clint Wheat back in 1967. Wheat had left town. I think he got word. Larry did get to view some and borrow some of Wheat's far right literature - Million Man March, American Committee to Free Cuba, etc. Larry sent me one of Wheat's ACFC pamphlets.

Harvey was used the pseudo of Daniel PRESLAND during his ZRRifle days http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10310-10014.pdf http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10310-10013.pdf http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10228-10109.pdf

Thanks Michael, I believe you are correct! 🙂

Doesn't say who authored this. I assume it came from CIA. http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32977068.pdf

A little bit more on Tony Sforza aka Henry Sloman, EAR's supervisor: "One such man, known in CIA dispatches only by his cover name, Henry J. Sloman, had by 1970 spent more than twenty years operating in disguise throughout Latin America, Europe, and Asia. His cover was impeccable: he was considered by his associates to be a professional gambler and a high-risk smuggler who was directly linked to the Mafia. When Sloman retired, in 1975, he had been inside CIA headquarters in Washington fewer than a dozen times in his career, occasionally meeting high-level officials there on Sunday to avoid the possibility of chance observation by other CIA operatives. He was a fabled figure inside the Agency: there was repeated talk of his participation in “wet ops”—those involving the shedding of blood. He was well known to Helms, who awarded him at least two CIA medals for his undercover exploits, which included other operations—mostly in Southeast Asia—that, Sloman says, were staged expressly on Kissinger’s orders." https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/12/the-price-of-power/376309/

Not documented - Morales, Sforza and Rodriguez were involved in the hunt for Che. Rodriguez was with Oswald in New Orleans.

So here’s a pretty interesting link to LHO. Tony Sforza worked for David Morales. Emilio Rodriguez worked for Sforza. Emilio’s brother was Arnesto who knew Oswald. Emilio A. Rodriguez (AMIRE-1) and Tony Sforza (AMRYE-1) were part of the CIA’s stay behind operation (AMRYE) after the US left Cuba. Other stay behind people were Frank Belsito and Ralph Seehafer (Dave McLane in his Western Hemisphere report failed to mention Rodriguez and Sforza. An over site?? http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10301-10001.pdf From Mary Ferrell’s site contributed by Bill Simpich and John Newman concerning Tony Sforza (AMRYE-1): “This is another of the CIA’s most closely guarded cryptonyms. To break it requires knowing the life story of Tony Sforza and his aliases—Henry Sloman, Frank Stevens, and Alfred Sarno–a subject covered at some length in Where Angels Tread Lightly, especially Appendix Three. Sforza’s work with AMPARCH-1 (Warren Frank, AKA Edward Knapman) and AMIRE-1 (Emilio Rodriguez, AKA Peter Digerveno) together first in Havana, and afterward at JMWAVE, as well as his tempestuous relationship with AMCONCERT-1 (Francisco “Pancho” Varona) makes possible the concrete identifications of these three men with their CIA cryptonyms. CIA documents establish that AMRYE-1 ran the AMRYE net, the principal stay-behind net in Cuba after the break in relations in January 1961, and that he received a huge amount of assistance from AMIRE-1 (Emilio Rodriguez). In CIA cable traffic associated with exfiltrations at that time, Sforza appears simply as “Henry,” who is later the “Henry Sloman” in JMWAVE documents. Tony Sforza’s cover pseudonym for public consumption was Frank Stevens.” John Newman and Alan Kent https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/08/03/2017-jfk-document-release-shows-former-intelligence-analyst-got-right/ Some good discussion of Sforza Sforza and Rodriguez spent time in jail in Cuba before exfiltrating to Miami JMWave investigation the assassination. “I recall that Mr. Anthony Sforza, AMOT case officer, told me later that he had received specific instructions from Shackley about how the AMOT service was to go about aiding in the investigation.” http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/NARA-Nov9-2017/104-10103-10024.pdf On the AMOTS “B. The AMOTS and the JURE - I satisfied myself in talking to Tony Sforza that the AMOTS in general are politically opposed to the JURE and that the reporting of this group, to which AMTAUP/2 belongs must be considered in light of its prejudices and lack of objectivity insofar as the JURE is concerned.” http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/NARA-Nov9-2017/104-10179-10153.pdf Sforza and EAR getting a medal http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32365143.pdf David Cordova aka Emilio Americo Rodrigues admitted DOA from Dulles Airport http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10161-10317.pdf Doctor was a CIA contract employee! https://www.archives.gov/files/research/jfk/releases/104-10161-10319.pdf Posthumous http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32371507.pdf Both getting drivers ID http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10129-10032.pdf EAR from contract to career agent http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32371538.pdf Fitzgerald signs off http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32371540.pdf EAR biographical info http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32371569.pdf EAR cover info http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10161-10344.pdf http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/104-10161-10314.pdf Giving info on AMLASH and checking into THE ORLEANIAN APT HOTEL, ST.

B.A. I believe it was in 1972.

Starts with synopsis of documents from LJB's library - http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/2018/docid-32423484.pdf Full memos at the end of doc. 12. Memo and attachment on Cuban policy from John W. Ford, FSO, to Bundy, dated 18 February 1964. The lengthy attachment appears to be a working paper on Cuba prepared for Bundy by Rostow's staff in State. The authors (Ford and Bob Johnson) write: "If we are to be realistic about our intent to get rid of the cancerous potential of Castroism, is an attack on the symptons enough? Is it not essential to get at the disease itself?" (10). And, later, " ..... if we were publicly to acknowledge /the extinction of the Castro regime! as our aim, would not a sudden blow seem a more logical way of proceeding then the application of measured pressures?" (14). The paper discusses the need for a plausible causus for action against Castro, asking the question: "would not a better bet be to provoke one?" (16). They suggest that "something like the assassination of a prominent Latin American leader" (17a) would be sufficient provocation, if blamed on Castro, to permit U.S. action. 20. Memo, Chase to Bundy, 2 June 1964. Chase notes that Castro has executed three anti-Castro Cubans and jailed two others as CIA agents. CIA admits having a connection with the executed Cubans "but that it is completely deniable." ...Execution of Anti-Castro Cubans --Attached is a ticker indicating that the Cubans have executed three anti-Castro Cubans and. jailed two others as CIA agents . . CIA tells me that we did have a connection .with the executed Cubans but that it is completely deniable. The Agency is still checking on the other two. 31. Memo, Chase to Bundy, 5 January 1965. Chase reports a plan told to Crimmins and the CIA about an Artime plot to stage a "palace coup" during which Castro and other top leaders would be "neutralized." D-Day was to be March 13. This matter was to be discussed at an upcoming ·Special Group meeting on whether or not "to cut off Artime's water." Chase notes: "CIA at this point is loath to make a hard evaluation of the Artime/Cubela plot." 39. Memo, Rostow to LBJ, 30 May 1966. Rostow notifies the President that a CIA ex-filtration mission ran into ambush and the agents were captured. The President could expect "the noise level of Castro's charges of 'threatened Yankee aggression' may go up." MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT The noise level of Castro's charges of "threatened Yankee aggression" may go up as a result of two incidents which have occurred during the past 36 hours. 1. On Saturday night a CIA exfiltration mission ran into an ambush. The two Cuban agents being exfiltrated were captured. Two members of the exfiltration team, who went in to pick them up, were killed. The Havana radio is broadcasting stories on this incident. If past performance is any guide, the captured agents will spill the full story of their involvement. Castro can be expected to relate this incident to Guantanamo as further evidence of U.S. aggressive intentions. 2. From commint we learned of action by Cuban air and naval units against unidentified surface vessels of the northwestern coast of Cuba shortly after midnight this morning. The evidence is fragmentary. The Cubans appear to have intercepted a launch, set it on fire, and picked up two of the persons aboard. CIA assures me that none of their units were involved. They speculate that the boat may have belonged to Cuban exile free-lancers. Nothing has come out publicly on this incident yet. (Note: this most likely was the Cuesta/Diaz Garcia trip to Cuba. Cuesta believed this to be as assassination attempt.) 41. Memo, W.G. Bowdler to Rostow, 18 December 1967. The new CIA emphasis is on developing contacts within Castro's inner circle. Dave Phillips was to be in charge of the new CIA ·Cuba program. Bowdler advises that "we be alert to indications that Castro is looking for accommodation or his disillusioned .lieutenants want to know where .we stand if they move to dump him."

I believe there are less redactions although quite a few still remain.

Evan, here's a nice recap from Bill Simpich about the JMWave crew. https://www.maryferrell.org/pages/State_Secret_Conclusion.html

Here's an earlier discussion on the shooters by James Richards. James said the shooters came from Laos. "As to military snipers, there is fertile ground to research here if one is prepared to get one's hands dirty. It involves Conein, Poshepny, three shooters and their commander on a flight out of Laos. Two of these shooters being for back-up near the Dallas Trade Mart and the third splintered off for Dealey Plaza. As a starting point, I would suggest a complete study of General Carroll from the DIA." James Richards Tony Poe - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Poshepny General Carroll - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Carroll_(DIA)

The Model 70 was a favorite of the Marine snipers, among others.

Helms recalls Executive Action (ZRRIFLE) as "a tiny little thing" (52) which nonetheless had as one of its purposes a capability to assassinate foreign leaders. (54) He remembered that there was a single asset who was a capability in being... If you needed somebody to carry out murder I guess you had a man who might be prepared to carry it out. (50) I finally phased it out, HELMS said. (51) HELMS said that the "special basis" for handling ZRRIFLE funds was for bookkeeping reasons (53) to avoid the normal clearance procedures. (54) II· TURNOVER OF SYNDICATE CONTACT TO HARVEY I.G. REPORT, 1967: Project ZRRIFLE continued on a separate course from the CIA-ROSELLI poison pill assassination plot against CASTRO until November 15, 1961: HARVEY has a note that on that date he discussed with BISSELL the application of the ZRRIFLE program to Cuba. HARVEY says that BISSELL instructed him to take over EDWARDS' contact with the criminal syndicate and thereafter to run the operation against CASTRO.n (39) http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/jfk/NARA-Oct2017/docid-32423557.pdf
