I can’t believe that this is the 23rd week we have been exploring the unfolding tale, COUP D’ETAT. The Conspiracy Theory will continue presenting facts, MOST of which I never heard of but then again, when Kennedy was shot, I was a sophomore in high school and was not reading the newspaper or watching the news religiously – although I’m not sure the many groups were ever acknowledged in the press in those days. The sheer number of dissident and/or anti-Castro, pro-Cuban exile organizations that have been revealed over this many weeks is quite astounding.
DAVID ATLEE PHILLIPS
David Atlee Phillips, a native of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, was a CIA agent specializing in propaganda. He was on secret CIA assignment in Havana until 1960, was Mexico City covert action chief from 1961-3 (during the time of Oswald’s visit there), and was coordinator of propaganda for the Bay of Pigs invasion and for all the Cuban exile terrorist groups under the CIA umbrella. One of these groups, Alpha 66, founded by Antonio Veciana, ignored Kennedy’s 1963 ban on terrorist action against Cuba. Between 1960 and1973, Veciana and his CIA control officer, known to him as “Maurice Bishop“, met more than 100 times. Their relationship ended with a $253,000 payment from “Bishop” for past services. Five months later, Veciana was convicted of drug smuggling. He claimed he was set up, and suspected that “Bishop” was behind it.
In 1976, Veciana told investigators that in September, 1963 in Dallas, he had seen “Bishop” talking to a man he later realized was Lee Harvey Oswald. Veciana added that after Kennedy’s death, “Bishop” had asked him to contact his uncle, a Cuban intelligence officer working in Mexico City, and offer him money to say he had met Oswald there in the fall of 1963. Congressional investigators, realizing that Phillips’ career dovetailed neatly with “Bishop’s”, arranged a casual meeting between Phillips and Veciana. Although they didn’t identify easch other, investigators felt the pair was probably lying.
Phillips, who later became CIA Western Hemisphere chief, insisted to his death that he had heard CIA surveillance tapes of the real Oswald in Mexico City, but that they had been “routinely” destroyed.
Remember Every Conspiracy Is Not A Theory!!!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
