(28,795 posts)34. "Maurice Bishop...was David Atlee Phillips"
http://www.ctka.net/2013/veciana.html
When he first acknowledged that David Atlee Phillips was the CIA contact known as "Maurice Bishop," Cuban exile leader Antonio Veciana did so tacitly. But Veciana's meaning was so clear, and his guile so transparent, there was no doubt; both he and House Select Committee investigator Gaeton Fonzi began laughing.
Now, decades later, Veciana has explicitly stated that Phillips (right) was indeed Bishop, and that he did indeed see Phillips with Lee Harvey Oswald in September 1963 thus formally linking a high ranking CIA officer with the JFK assassination.
Veciana's admission came in a written statement issued November 22, 2013, the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination. In a letter to Fonzi's widow Marie, Veciana, the aging, former leader of Alpha 66, said, "Maurice Bishop, my CIA contact agent was David Atlee Phillips. Phillips or Bishop was the man I saw with Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas on September 1963."

Octafish, have you brought this up? I haven't read everything you've put up in this thread, much less the other ones in the last month or so.
Why hasn't this gotten wide play?
talk about a smoking gun.......

OP
It's hard to argue against facts, so have a little sympathy for those who try so hard to distract

I suppose, but it's a bit futile to try to hide facts because they have a way of surfacing even if
