Speaking of the NAZI coup of '63:

Reagan, Bush, Nixon, Johnson, Hoover and the rest absolutely did everything they could to destroy the investigation of Jim Garrison. Gee. It looks like the late judge was on to something. Here David Ferrie helps teach young air cadets a lesson, including Lee Harvey Oswald.



EXCERPT...

6.     The House Select Committee also developed information linking Banister employee Ferrie, Oswald and Clay Shaw. Credible eyewitness testimony places these individuals at a Clinton (Louisiana) voter registration drive in August of 1963. “The chairman of the Clinton chapter of CORE , Corrie Collins, was monitoring the drive outside the Registrar’s office, when at approximately 10:00a.m. he noticed the arrival of the car. Thinking they might be FBI, Collins studied the car and its occupants closely. As the car came to a stop, he observed a young white male exit the rear of the car and enter the registration line, while the driver and the other passenger remained in the car. Later, under oath, at the trial of Clay Shaw in 1969 and in his testimony to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) in 1978, Collins would identify the driver of the car as Clay Shaw, the passenger as David Ferrie, and the person in the registration line as Lee Harvey Oswald.” (Ibid.; pp. 103-104.)

7.     “A mere four years later, Congress would conclude that ‘ was inclined to believe that Oswald was in Clinton La., in late August, early September 1963, and that he was in the company of David Ferrie, if not Clay Shaw. . . established an association of an undetermined nature between Ferrie, Shaw, and Oswald less than 3 months before the assassination.’ The committee added that they ‘also found that there was at least a possibility that Oswald and Guy ‘Banister were acquainted.’ They further concluded that the ‘CIA-Mafia-Cuban plots had all the elements necessary for a successful assassination conspiracy.’ It is probably the ultimate irony that the U.S. government’s conclusions echoed those of Jim Garrison a decade earlier.” (Ibid.; p. 189.)

8.     Banister’s New Orleans office also served as the headquarters of the Anti-Communist League of the Caribbean, part of what would formally coalesce as the World Anti-Communist League in 1967. (For more on WACL, see also: RFA#’s 14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 27, 29, 30, 36, 37.)

9.     While investigating Eladio del Valle, Ferrie’s associate in covert operations against Cuba, Garrison’s investigating team was infiltrated by an anti-Castro Cuban with strong ties to the intelligence community. This operative, Bernardo de Torres, may well have been involved with the assassination itself. His name later cropped up in connection with the assassination of Orlando Letelier. (For more on the assassination of Letelier, see also: RFA#’s 4, 19, 20, 22, 30, 37, as well as FTR#’s 259, 268, 284.)
