BY SAMSON SHOAGA/MANAGING EDITOR, TEXAS & STEVE EDDY/EDITOR, SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS, NEW YORK & MIGUEL ABNUAK/CRIME EDITOR, MEXICO

JFK 7SHOCKING facts have emerged 50 years after the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35th President of United States on November 22, 1963 at exactly 12:30 Central Standard Time (18:30 UTC) in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas that a former Marine sniper, Lee Harvey Oswald, a trained officer of Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) turned ‘Communist Agent’ who fired the death bullets on the rear head of the president carried out the dastardly acts on ‘foreign conspiracy.’

Secret Involvement of Fidel Castro Revealed

Naija Standard investigation within security circles revealed that on the orders of the now 87 year old Fidel Castro, former president of Cuba, a guerilla warfare specialist, a lady diplomat then working in Cuban Embassy in Mexico was alleged to have met covertly with Oswald under the cover of darkness and allegedly handed him discreet plans to ‘get rid of Kennedy’ in what was then termed in Cuban military circles as “betrayal of Kennedy on Cuba, Katanga and Portugal, with enemies ties to Russia, Yugoslavia and Poland.” Other allegations we gathered include: “Kennedy’s wrong on innumerable issues affecting the National Security of the United States (United Nations Berlin wall-Missile removal-Cuba-Wheat deals-Tost Ban Treaty, Lax in Enforcing Communist Registration Laws; His Support/Encouragement to Communist Racial Riots, Illegally invasion of a Sovereign State with a Federal Troops; Consistent appointment of Anti-Christians into Federal Troops, Upholds Supreme Court in its Anti-Christians rulings; Aliens/Known Communists abound in Federal Offices,  his lies to the American people involving his Previous Marriage & Divorce.”

Inside Details of Assassin’s last discussion with a ‘Communist woman-diplomat in Cuban Embassy’ exposed

For these reasons mentioned above, Cuban military allegedly believed Oswald with a strong and intelligent training in the American security operations was best to ‘silence Kennedy’, after he was allegedly assured of protection, luxurious lifestyle and wealth through the lady-diplomat in the Cuban Embassy. Armed with these promised, Oswald few weeks later visited American Embassy in Moscow demanding to renounce and dump his US nationality for Russia where he had traveled to file an application for Russian citizenship.

Killer boasts after been denied American Visa in Mexico: “‘I’m going to kill Kennedy for this”

A copy of Oswald letter to the US Embassy which was obtained by CIA, an unclassified document bore evidence of this request by the killer. He was allegedly threatened by this woman at the Cuban Embassy that should he fail to carry out the murder, “his family would be wiped away.” As at the time the US Embassy declined his renunciation of US citizenship, he stormed out of the American Embassy and unconsciously reportedly said aloud “I’m going to kill Kennedy for this.” This exactly he did, with the murder of Kennedy.

 Oswald Assassination actions

Not wanting to take chances, Oswald in March 1963,  back in United States, purchased a 6.5 mm Carcano Model 91/38 rifle (also improperly called Mannlicher-Carcano) by  mail order using a pseudo name as ‘A. Hidell.’ It is officially accepted in security circles that this was the rifle that was used in the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas, Texas to assassinate Kennedy as his motorcade drove by on November 22, 1963.Evidence of photographs of Oswald holding the rifle, a palm print found upon examination of the rifle, and detective work tracing its sale, all eventually led to Oswald.

All you need to know about the Killer Rifle

The Oswald rifle was an Italian Fucile di Fanteria (Eng: Infantry rifle) Modello 91/38 (Model 1891/1938) manufactured at the Royal Arms Factory in Terni, Italy, in 1940. Its serial number identified it as the single weapon of its type made with that number. The so-called Model 91 bolt action rifle had been introduced in 1891 by Salvatore Carcano for the Turin Army Arsenal. After 1895, the Modello 91 used an en bloc ammunition clip similar, but not identical, to the Austrian Mannlicher ammunition clips, and hence the names of Carcano and Mannlicher associated with the Oswald rifle (including associated with them by the Warren Commission). The ammunition used in the clip was the 6.5x52mm Cartuccia Modello 1895 rimless cartridge (designed in 1890), also sometimes called Mannlicher-Carcano ammunition, after the rifle designer and the general type of clip it used.

In 1938, the basic Model 91 long rifle design was discontinued in favor of a new short rifle design, the Model 38, with a new type of ammunition: a spitzer-pointed 7.35x51mm round. The 7.35mm M38 was manufactured from 1938-1940. In 1940, with the war well under way and unable to stockpile sufficient amounts of 7.35x51mm ammunition, the short rifles were re-designated Modello 91/38, and were again manufactured to fire the original round-nosed 6.5×52 mm ammunition. The serial-numbered C2766 rifle, sent to Oswald as a surplus “Italian carbine” in 1963, was a short rifle of this type, manufactured for the 6.5x52mm cartridge. The 6.5mm Carcano M91/38 was only manufactured for one year, 1940, and discontinued in favor of a new 6.5mm long rifle, the M91/41, which was made until the end of the war.

Oswald murdered Kennedy

Kennedy was shot and killed on Nov. 22, 1963, in Dallas as he rode in the back seat of an open limousine with his wife, Jackie. The first shot, fired from a sixth-floor window of the Texas Book Depository building behind him, struck his upper back and exited from his throat. Another shot, considered the fatal wound, tore through his head.

 Investigators concluded that Oswald, a former Marine sniper with connections in Russia, was the lone assassin. However, conspiracy theories still abound, driven by inconsistencies in the federal investigations and in law enforcement and witness statements.

One of the best-known conspiracy theorists is former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura. “When it comes to conspiracies it’s the granddaddy of them all,” Ventura said on “Conspiracy Theory,” his national TV show. “If you can get away with killing a president, you can get away with anything.”

Conspiracy theorists argue that a second shooter fired the fatal shot from a grassy knoll in front of Kennedy and contest how a “magic bullet” that Oswald fired could have struck Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connolly, sitting in front of the president, in such an indirect fashion.

‘Lack of protection for the president in Dallas was appalling’–John Tunheim, Federal Judge, Head Independent Review Board on Kennedy Assassination

John Tunheim, a federal judge (US District Judge) who led independent review board on the 1963 assassination of Kennedy reportedly said “I think it’s created needless questions in people’s minds that the government was hiding something.”

The government had harbored substantial documentation on the assassination in secrecy until the 1990s, when Tunheim and the independent federal agency chaired pried millions of pages loose for public scrutiny. The work of the U.S. Assassination Records Review Board took on the nation’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies, bringing sunlight to what had been a shadowy investigation prone to conspiracy theories.

The Minneapolis judge who will talk about documentation of Kennedy’s assassination at the Washington County Historical Society’s annual meeting Thursday.

“Someone always asks me, ‘Did Oswald do it by himself?’’said Tunheim, who decided years ago he wouldn’t make such determinations. “If you have a strong interest in the assassination, read the documents yourself. I took the position over that whole process that I wasn’t going to take sides with anyone over what really happened.”

When Tunheim speaks in Stillwater, he will start with a video presentation that will include the controversial Zapruder film — a home movie showing Kennedy on the parade route when he was shot — and broadcast clips of Walter Cronkite announcing the assassination. He’ll also talk about the review board’s findings and challenges.

With the 50th anniversary of the president’s death coming in November, many Americans will revisit details of the shooting and question how such a tragedy could happen, he said.

 “People don’t really want to believe that some 24-year-old misfit could have killed the most powerful person in the world with a simple rifle shot,” Tunheim said. “I like to take people back to the real evidence in the case.”

The review board, working from 1992-98, was mandated by the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 to gather and open all records concerned with his death. Congress passed the legislation, known more simply as the JFK Act, because of disturbing conclusions promoted in Oliver Stone’s movie “JFK,” which made a case for a deep conspiracy by the nation’s military-industrial complex.

“We released everything we found that was actually related to the assassination,” Tunheim said, attributing the prevalent secrecy to the Cold War and its subsequent hangover. “It was really the way we did business in the 1960s,” he said.

The 1990s, he said, brought a change in national attitude about the Kennedy records. “The Cold War was over and 9/11 hadn’t happened yet,” he said.

Tunheim said researchers should trust only official documents and be wary of information, represented as truth, that widely circulates on the Internet. He said the federal collection that’s now public includes about 15 autopsy photos and X-rays, and he doubts the authenticity of Internet photos purporting to show Kennedy.

“It’s what you can do with the Internet and you have creative people out there,” he said. “I would trust only those that were at the National Archives, the originals that were there. Lack of protection for the president in Dallas was appalling,” Tunheim said.

“It was unconscionable what happened that day. No one had checked the buildings that they went by,” he said, noting that Kennedy’s car slowed to a crawl as it turned corners. “It was just a horrible lack of security.”

 CIA, FBI Conspiracy

It has long been known that the Warren Commission, the blue ribbon panel of public officials appointed by former President Lyndon Johnson to investigate the assassination of former President Kennedy, was flawed in ways that led to generations of conspiracy theories about what happened on Nov. 22, 1963. A forthcoming book from former New York Times reporter Philip Shenon digs into exactly what the commission got wrong, both by intentional concealment, or, in Shenon’s view, extensive attempts by both the CIA and FBI to withhold just how much they knew about Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald in the weeks and months before he killed the president.

“Senior officials at both the CIA and the FBI hid information from the panel, apparently in hopes of concealing just how much they had known about Lee Harvey Oswald and the threat that he posed.”

Oswald, Kennedy’s Killer Confession

Much of the evidence Shenon includes in his book shows the amount of information about Oswald’s time in Mexico that either never reached the Warren Commission investigators or was directly contradicted in reports by the CIA. One example is a June 1964 memo to the commission’s lead investigator from J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI director at the time of Kennedy’s assassination, in which Hoover wrote about a report from “our people in Mexico” that ” [Oswald] stormed into the embassy, demanded the visa, and when it was refused to him, headed out saying, ‘I’m going to kill Kennedy for this.'” (It was unclear to Hoover whether the embassy in question was the Cuban or Soviet embassy in Mexico City). The investigators told Shenon they were certain they had never seen the memo, which disappeared before it reached them and only turned up in the classified archives of the CIA years later.

Some of the FBI’s other attempts to cover up their connections with Oswald have previously been revealed, such as the fact that Dallas-based FBI agent James Hosty had received and later destroyed a letter from Oswald protesting the FBI’s questioning of Oswald’s Russian-born wife, Marina. Under orders from his superior, Hosty destroyed the letter by ripping it into pieces, then flushing the pieces down the toilet at the Dallas FBI office, two days after the assassination when Oswald was killed by Jack Ruby.  Oswald would later be charged with the assassination of President Kennedy as well, but denied involvement in either of the killings. Two days later, while being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail; Oswald was shot and killed by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live.

Ex-Press Sec to President Johnson, President CNN confirm story

Tom Johnson, a former press secretary to President Johnson who later became publisher of The Dallas Times Herald and The Los Angeles Times as well as a president of CNN, described Oswald’s letter to the FBI as “a note threatening to blow up the Dallas office of the FBI, the building, if the agents did not cease trying to interview Oswald’s wife Marina.” Johnson confirmed the existence of the latter with former FBI director Clarence Kelley during his time at the Dallas Times Herald.

“The decision was made two days after the assassination to destroy this note. In truth, we’ll never know exactly what was in that note, and its been described in different ways,” Shenon told host Bob Schieffer. “The Warren Commission knew absolutely nothing about it.

Despite the intentional destruction of evidence, Kelley, who succeeded Hoover as the head of the agency, came to see Hosty as a victim when he later conducted a private search of the FBI’s own files about the investigation. “He was convinced that if Hosty had been told everything that FBI headquarters knew about Oswald’s Mexico trip, he would have alerted the Secret Service to the obvious threat that Oswald posed,” Shenon writes. “The FBI, Kelley said, would have ‘undoubtedly taken all necessary steps to neutralize Oswald.’ And that was Kelley’s larger conclusion – that President Kennedy’s assassination could have been prevented, perhaps easily. ”

Hosty’s note from Oswald was one of the earliest pieces of evidence the commission might have examined that disappeared, but it was certainly not the only example. In the first chapter of the book, Shenon tells the story of how Navy pathologist James Humes threw his blood-stained notes from Kennedy’s autopsy into the fire after he transcribed a fresh copy of the report. He said that he wanted to keep the documents from falling into the hands of “ghouls,” and gave a similar rationale for ordering that the sheets that covered Kennedy’s head wounds in Dallas be laundered during the autopsy.

The commission’s investigators never even saw the photos and X-rays from the autopsy, which were in Robert Kennedy’s custody at the Justice Department. The Kennedy family – and Earl Warren, the Chief Justice and chairman of the commission – decided to withhold the photos for fear that they would be leaked to the public and destroy the public image of Kennedy as a handsome young president instead of a crime victim with a gruesome bullet wound to his head.

“Repeatedly in the history of the Warren Commission you see the chief justice making decisions that were designed to protect the [Kennedy] legacy,” Shenon said. The decision to block access to the autopsy photos caused “huge turmoil” among the commission’s staff, he added.

Shenon also points to the CIA as having taken great steps to cover up their knowledge of Oswald’s visit to Mexico City before the assassination. The book’s prologue opens with the story of diplomat Charles William Thomas, a career State Department employee who uncovered details about Oswald’s time in Mexico, including his affair with a Mexican woman who was a supporter of dictator Castro. The reports Thomas wrote to CIA Mexico City Station Chief Winston Scott with those details were ignored, as was the memo he sent to then-Secretary of State William P. Rogers when Thomas was forced out of the State Department in 1969. Thomas committed suicide in 1971.

“There is some evidence to suggest [Oswald] had a brief relationship with a young Mexican woman who worked at the Cuban embassy in Mexico City,” Shenon said on “Face the Nation.” “The Warren Commission actually wanted to interview that woman but Chief Justice Warren made the decision she would not be interviewed because he said ‘she was a communist and we don’t interview communists.'”

A section of Scott’s memoirs – which included details about the extent of the CIA’s monitoring of Oswald in Mexico – was only declassified in the 1990s. The agency photographed Oswald outside of the Cuban and Soviet embassies in Mexico City, and recorded his phone calls while he was in Mexico, evidence that never reached the commission. Scott’s memoirs also reveal that he thought there might have been a foreign conspiracy to kill Kennedy involving Oswald as a Communist agent, which contradicted what he told the Warren Commission.

“Scott told the Warren Commission that he did not believe there was a conspiracy, and apparently in his memoirs he says he exactly the opposite,” Shenon said.

Profile of Oswald

Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was, according to four government investigations, the sniper who assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

Oswald was a former U.S. Marine who defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959. He lived in the Soviet Union until June 1962, at which time he returned to the United States. Oswald was initially arrested for the murder of police officer J. D. Tippit, who was killed on a Dallas street approximately 45 minutes after President Kennedy was shot. Oswald would later be charged with the assassination of President Kennedy as well, but denied involvement in either of the killings. Two days later, while being transferred from police headquarters to the county jail; Oswald was shot and killed by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live.

In 1964, the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy, firing three shots. One shot apparently missed the limousine entirely, another struck Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally, and another struck Kennedy in the head. This conclusion was supported by prior investigations carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Dallas Police Department.

Despite forensic, ballistic, and eyewitness evidence supporting the lone gunman theory, public opinion polls taken over the years have shown that a majority of Americans believe that Oswald did not act alone, but conspired with others to kill the presidentand the assassination has spawned numerous conspiracy theories. In 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald fired the shots that killed Kennedy, but differed from previous investigations in concluding that “scientific acoustical evidence establishes a high probability that two gunmen fired at President John F. Kennedy”. The House Select Committee’s acoustical evidence has since been discredited.
