Harry J.Dean Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Heat from The Fair Play For Cuba Committee against US/Cuban policies in the United States and Latin America had reached the boiling point. While I was Secretary of that Chicago, Illinois FPCC group the Communist Party organizers/leaders,John Rossen and Richard Criley gave me a possibly dangerous assignment. My instructions were to join the enemy "anti-Castro elements" in order to gain the vital date of the expected invasion upon Cuba. These anti-Castro forces in Chicago gathered in a downtown recruiting hall. FPCC instructions worked perfectly,with one exception. In order to be genuinely convincing after I had, as ordered, denounced my association with FPCC, to further convince the anti-Castro people it was nessasary that I also volunteer with their CIA Central Intelligence agent recruiter as a pilot in the anti-Castro invasion force. Among my increasingly nervous fears were, would I soon be called upon to ship-out with others of these invasion groups? or worse yet might not the vital information I was sent by other Fair Play For Cuba Committee officers to get, fall into my hands. Naturally I aimed to side-slip from the entirely dangerous situation if or when either happened. I quickly moved my wife and two little sons to a new location,adopted a new identity,and continued assigned activities with caution. In this time frame recieving a phone call from Federal Bureau of Investigation agents to "JR" my code name, to set up a safe meeting spot, where we again discussed All details of latest FPCC activities, including the CIA anti-Castro group encounters. At this meeting, when ask, I confessed to mentioning to the CIA anti-Castro recruiter that I was also reporting to the FBI on pro-Castro/ FPCC activities. The two Bureau agents then summarily dismissed me from further association with the FBI. Not understanding this sudden firing I was shocked, worse yet I was now caught in deep danger that could come from no-nonsence Cubans who either favored Castro,or from those poised to storm his country. Dropping everything in cold fear, my wife children and I fled to Southern California. Before leaving I penned a note and dropped it in the mail to President Kennedy explaining my involvement and the entire FPCC/Cuban/FBI picture....... Harry J.

John Dolva Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Hi Harry, is there anything to say about wahlstrom, j. rosen, pleune, 'sheila'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry J.Dean Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Hi, John D. The name Pleune rings a bell, the others ??. Many people in FPCC when involved under circumstance {such as public demonstrations} with the local Red Squad {police} used assumed names. The same if they were federal or local police informants within FPCC. etc. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for safe channels of communication between NO and Jackson, which may involve freedom riders boarding buses in NO heading for Mississippi where they often were arrested as soon as they stepped off the bus. Birdsong and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean By the following year, 1962, I was once again involved with the Bureau in gathering political and subversive intelligence information. Hi, John In trying to add the above post and the following to THE INDEX under MEMOIRS it did not succeed......? MORE. I dealt with the Feds re; The Fair Play For Cuba Committee Castro's Network in the United States, "mainly" in Chicago,Illinois, and the Revolutionary 26th Of July Movement in the US. and Cuba. During those times I did not allow myself to have any personal or political {as a Republican} convictions. Later, when I joined more openly with anti-Castro, anti-Communist persons and groups did I become anti-Kennedy, even while doing assignments for the Feds, many of whom also leaned in that "political direction." My reason in exposing these connections, is to show my thinking while sincerely involved with what I then considered my kind of people, that is until they actually arranged the removal of the president. The John Birch Society in their fatal " five year plan" aimed first to destroy Kennedy's political and personal reputation and especially what he supposedly represented while I was in league with them and with their activist radicals, a civilreligio and military combination. Even as their plan{s} were in movement to kill Kennedy {reported to my Fed. contacts} and described under my partial MEMOIRS on The Simkin Forum, I remained one of their kind, being led by ongoing radical and firey extreme literature {propaganda}. Certainly a brain-bending barrage of subversion, realized to late. The successful action of November 22, 1963 placed their kind both directly, and indirectly in charge of the US. presidency/government direction and control, as evidenced more clearly in the present administration.
