Well we are now in week 19 of the exploration of a n elaborate conspiracy theory about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The title of this theory is COUP D’ETAT and as we get further into it, the title will ring true. Remember every conspiracy is not a theory!!
GENERAL EDWIN WALKER
The “Wanted for Treason” leaflets posted in Dallas on Nov. 21,1963, were produced by an aide to retired General Edwin Walker, who had been removed from command of the Army’s 24th Division in Munich in 1961 for indoctrinating his troops with fascist propaganda. In 1962 he was arrested and held in a mental hospital on orders from Attorney General Robert Kennedy for leading a violent mob that tried to keep black student James Meredith from enrolling at the University of Mississippi. Walker was visited several times in 1962-3 by Jack Ruby. He was a leader of the John Birch Society and the Minutemen, a paramilitary group that armed and trained anti-Castro Cubans. Two of his Cuban contacts were Carlos Bringuier , a fellow director of the Christian Anti-Communist Youth University, and Felipe Vidal, a member of the anti-Castro terrorist group Alpha 66 who later worked in Oliver North’s illegal Contra aid network.
Walker was on a flight from New Orleans to Dallas when Kennedy’s death was announced. He told fellow passengers they were his alibi. The next day he phoned a neo-Nazi newspaper in Munich to report that Oswald had tried to kill him the previous April, predating Marina’s mention of this by 10 days. Later, he posted a sign by his house reading: “Cuba: Oswald won, Kennedy lost.” There is no hard evidence that Oswald shot at Walker, but his name and number were in Oswald’s address book, and Oswald had a photo of his house (in which appears 1957 Chevy, possibly Felipe Vidal’s). A further link between the two is a roll of film shot in 1963 by an acquaintance of Walker, showing the General in his Dallas home and Oswald handing out pro-Castro leaflets in New Orleans.
