Conspiracy Nation -- Vol. 1 Num. 21
|
||
======================================
|
||
("Quid coniuratio est?")
|
||
|
||
|
||
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
RESOLVED: President Kennedy was killed as the result of a
|
||
conspiracy.
|
||
|
||
[Continuation of my transcription of a radio debate which took
|
||
place in the Fall of 1993 between Peter Dale Scott and Gerald
|
||
Posner. Today, Mr. Scott gives his closing statement.]
|
||
|
||
|
||
MODERATOR: You will now each have 6 minutes to close. Mr. Scott,
|
||
you have 6 minutes.
|
||
|
||
PETER DALE SCOTT: The Warren Commission, and again, now, Mr.
|
||
Posner, tell us that Ruby and Oswald each were people who acted
|
||
alone. What I've learned in my years is that each of these two
|
||
individuals take us to very important institutional secrets that
|
||
are part of what I call the "deep politics" of this country.
|
||
|
||
To start with Jack Ruby: He came out of Chicago, in the 24th ward
|
||
of Jake Arvey, which was a signal point of corruption in the
|
||
Democratic party in Chicago and in the nation. A man called James
|
||
Ragen was killed in 1946. Oswald {1} knew the two assassins
|
||
intimately. One of them was used by the Chicago FBI to make the
|
||
case that Oswald {2} is not mob connected. They said that this
|
||
man Dave Yaras... They sent this memo out and it was sent on to
|
||
the Warren Commission: "Dave Yaras says that Oswald was not mob
|
||
connected." They granted that Dave Yaras knew Oswald, but [what]
|
||
they didn't say was that Dave Yaras was a *top* syndicate killer
|
||
and that the killing of Ragen in 1946 (which he was guilty of)
|
||
was one which [J. Edgar] Hoover was personally involved in. And
|
||
we have it from one of Mr. Posner's own sources in the FBI that
|
||
it was Hoover himself who dropped the investigation when Mr.
|
||
Ragen was investigated. I have a [unclear] of that case, because
|
||
it is a signal event in the evolution of organized crime in this
|
||
country.
|
||
|
||
Lee Harvey Oswald, in 1963, was involved with the *most*
|
||
conspiratorial Cuban anti-Castro group (such as Alpha-66), whose
|
||
main target by then was not so much Castro as Kennedy. Their...
|
||
most of their raids were against Soviet ships in order to
|
||
embarrass Kennedy's policy of detente with Kruschev. And the kind
|
||
of story that Mr. Posner will *not* tell you is that a Dallas
|
||
sheriff had said that Oswald had been seen with anti-Castro
|
||
Cubans at a Harlandale(?) address in Texas which -- in Dallas --
|
||
which he says nothing more about, but which the FBI files show us
|
||
was the Dallas headquarters of the Alpha-66 in Dallas and that
|
||
they had been buying guns. And at least one of their milieu was
|
||
an Oswald look-alike.
|
||
|
||
It is a symptom that the investigation was mishandled; that this
|
||
rather significant lead which corroborates the leads in New
|
||
Orleans of Oswald and anti-Castro Cubans, all of whom were arms
|
||
trafficking. That is probably the key to why Oswald himself
|
||
ordered guns. Because I believe that he *was* working part of the
|
||
government's campaign against arms sales.
|
||
|
||
Now you tell me, Mr. Posner, that Bringuier denies his DRE
|
||
connections. Mr. Bringuier has also denied his connections to the
|
||
Cuban Revolutionary Council [CRC]. (And I can't remember if that's
|
||
in your book, but it's certainly in the Warren Commission.) And
|
||
yet I found a Cuban "Who's Who" of Cuban exiles, and it's
|
||
*listed* in Mr. Bringuier's biography, in print, that he was the
|
||
propaganda secretary for the CRC -- as I report in my book. (And
|
||
I hope you have a refutation of it.)
|
||
|
||
If we had more time, I would respond to what you said about my
|
||
book. But yes, all of these things are part of the deep politics.
|
||
But they could also have been lone assassins. You're drawing
|
||
conclusions that cannot be drawn.
|
||
|
||
What I have been trying to say and say is that the more we look
|
||
into the, this case, pressure has forced the FBI to "cough up"
|
||
files. The... forced just recently, the CIA to force up files.
|
||
And the more documents we get, the less and less and less Oswald
|
||
looks like a loner. If he was a loner, why did every single junky
|
||
FBI report on him go over to CIA and get read in at least 10
|
||
sections of the CIA? Why are there references that are still
|
||
blacked out? Why are so many of the crucial documents suppressed?
|
||
|
||
We have a record here which we have to get to the bottom of. And,
|
||
uh, I am open-minded about this. I don't quite know how you prove
|
||
someone is a loner after you have already established that
|
||
there's such intense and continuous government interest in him --
|
||
including documents we've been denied which are only one and two
|
||
days before the assassination.
|
||
|
||
But I can tell you one thing: When the CIA called him Lee Henry
|
||
Oswald it wasn't from a clumsy accident, as you suggest. Because
|
||
they had been doing it consistently for 3 years in a file which
|
||
had been... treated him as a *secret* case, when other defectors
|
||
were treated as unclassified ones. He was a very special
|
||
"defector" among those defectors. And the CIA falsified not only
|
||
his name [but] the name of his wife, the name of the city in
|
||
which he was born. The conclusion is unmistakable that he was
|
||
part of some kind of operation that was being kept secret even in
|
||
CIA files. And if you're going to prove me wrong, Mr. Posner,
|
||
you're going to have to join with me in getting the rest of the
|
||
files declassified.
|
||
|
||
MODERATOR: Thank you, Mr. Scott. Mr. Posner, you have 6 minutes.

--------------------------<< Notes >>----------------------------
|
||
{1} Mr. Scott *says* "Oswald" here. He may *mean* "Ruby". Due to
|
||
pressure of allowed time, Mr. Scott may have inadvertantly mixed
|
||
the names.
|
||
{2} Again (see note #1, above), Mr. Scott *says* Oswald, but may
|
||
have meant to say "Ruby."
