The CIA's Center for the Study of Intelligence is located in Vienna, Virginia. This group was charged with declassifying the CIA documents about the Kennedy assassination and related matters. [John Perira Telephone 703-482-1100 or 703-351-2802]
They did a good job but ignored what they saw. Since the American government is now widely perceived as the enemy of its own people, by its people, the most likely scenario was a continued coverup by the CIA, which was what happened. This researcher plans to file one of the most complex lawsuits in the history of American jurisprudence.Center for the Study of Intelligence, Vienna, Virginia
Thousands of pages of United States Government documents are in the data base. In most cases I entered the entire document. When a document is presented in its actual configuration, I have not used quotation marks. When a document is presented in any other form, I have used quotation marks. At this point the data base contains 8 megabytes of textual information. It should level off around 10 meg.
As you have seen on the index screen, the data base is divided into 0 to 28 nodules.
Each of these Nodules are divided into compartments. A compartment is indicated by a centered title in capitals and in bold, such as "COMPARTMENTS" as shown above.Many compartments are labeled "Theory" and "Analysis" to differentiate them from the facts that have been presented.
This data base is the result of the JFK Documents Act of 1992. Under this Act, millions of pages of government documents were released to the general public. This researcher, a high speed reader, scanned millions of pages of JFK documents, and choose the hot ones. It took 500 hours. In some instances documents were highly redacted, yet when I came across duplicates of the same document during subsequent research, low and behold, there were no deletions. Fortunately, like former CIA Plans Director Richard Mervin Bissell, I can "race through a memo, holding each new page at the bottom between two fingers, scanning, flipping every few seconds, gulping the entire contents."
This researcher also worked the FBI Reading Room, the CIA reading room, the Foreign Agents Registration Board, the Federal Aviation Administration, numerous Federal document depositories, Federal and State Court Houses and, of course, the Library of Congress. Many of the documents I have copied have been routinely destroyed by the United States Government. I also worked at the office of Attorney James Lesar in Washington, D.C.
CD-ROM versions of the Warren Commission Report and the House Select Committee on Assassinations volumes [available from LMP Systems- telephone 214-343-8338] were also utilized. This researcher also accessed his private collection of left and right-wing political literature, underground newspapers, alternative magazines etc. The INTERNET was helpful.
This researcher used CD-ROM telephone directories to track down witnesses. (If I couldn't locate a particular individual I would call all their kinfolk until I did.) This researcher did hundreds of hours of telephone interviews. The lists of births and deaths put on CD-ROM by the Mormons was helpful in alerting me to who was alive and who had died, as far as JFK witnesses and others were concerned. I have included numerous telephone numbers and addresses in this database. Go the World Wide ajweberman page for online versions of the resources I used to compile this data base. The site is still in its infancy. Marina Oswald told this researcher: "You wrote your first book in 1975. It is quite courageous, I have to say. Where do you go from here?"
Dates in the text have been modified to facilitate searches. They appear as this one: May 26, 1945, rather than 26 May 45 etc. In brackets [] they appear as 5.26.45 with no zero before the month or date. When searching for a date conduct the search in both formats. Major dates appear in BOLD to facilitate the adding of new information in chronological order.
Documents cited appear in brackets [ ] throughout the text so that the reader can instantly evaluate the sources of this data base. In a quotation brackets indicate this authors comments or rephrasing of quotation. When searching for an FBI Serial run the entire serial through, e.g. 62-109060-4606. If this fails, run the digits that follow the dash e.g. 4606. Try different variations.
The names of the principals involved appear in CAPITAL letters to facilitate making associations between them. As this database grew, and due to the indexing and search capabilities of Corel's Word Perfect for Windows, it exhibited certain minor aspects of artificial intelligence, and helped me make certain connections I would have normally been unable to make. (Corel's Indexer in Word Perfect for Windows is much slower). CIA official DAVID A. PHILLIPS wrote: "Laboring to put together the whole picture in intelligence is usually like assembling a jigsaw puzzle from an almost infinite number of tiny pieces with the hope that enough of the final mosaic will emerge to mean something." Having had instant access to where the same puzzle piece appeared in the puzzle through digitization made the pieces easier to assemble. Digitization proved to be a big breakthrough. Some of the puzzle pieces were copywritten. No copywritten material that is more than 10% of its entire text appears in this data base. This 10% appears without permission, and was used by means of review.

Page 18 contained the words "Alex Kleinrer 'Loma' Industries" - Max Lowenstein of Loma was of interest to OO/C in 1956. Kleinerer p75; CIA 1294-481, 515-217, 518-219, 646-277, 646-277; WCD 911; FBI 62-109060-2424 inks & ID. Phone interview: "I would rather get together, I don't like the phone, its a little bit delicate the whole situation. I moved to NY in 1970. Loma Industries was a plastic company which made industrial plastic and housewares. OSWALD applied for job there but never got it. I used to work there 15, 16 years ago."
The address "1318 1/2 Garfield, Norman Oklahoma" was found in OSWALD'S address book. Mae Logan, who owned this property from 1961 to 1967, was contacted in August 1993. She stated that several white teenagers along with one black lived in the top part of a rental unit she owned between 1962-1963. "They quit payin' the rent, got into drugs and were arrested in Phoenix. There was lady who lived up there to begin with. She got cancer and went to the M.D. Anderson Hospital. Her father and mother had died of cancer two years ago." Logan was never questioned by the FBI. The name "Robert Odum RI-7-2071" was found in OSWALD'S address book. A Robert E. Odum, of Dallas, was a control tower operator at Love Field. The FBI claimed this name was Robert Adams Dallas of the Texas State Employment Office.
Marina Oswald's cookbook contained the numbers P.E. 7-5402, W.A. 6-3741.
OSWALD'S address book contained name Russ Brothorgan 1733 Spring.
Address book contained name Bill Stuckey 529-2274. OS Memo has two paragraphs deleted "It now appears that Bill Stuckey in all probability is William K. Stuckey, a former newspaper man now engaged in Public Relations who in the summer of 1963 interviewed OSWALD regarding his participation in a pro-Castro campaign in New Orleans" - CIA 1301-476
OSWALD'S address book contained telephone number for U.S. Government Switchboard, Fort Worth, Texas; the city of Arlington,Texas; City of Fort Worth switchboard, Federal Court Clerks office, U.S. Court House, Fort Worth and Tarrant County Criminal Courts Building. - NARA 1993.05.24.09:22:06:15000
OSWALD had notation 1612 Hurley. These were apartments in Fort Worth one of which was vacant. OSWALD had notation "Criner Bewly Bign. con. con. service." It was that of Maybell Criner Career and Finishing School at 513 Bewley Building where Virginia Valle did typing for OSWALD.
Besides using his post office box as a dead drop, OSWALD may have made pay phone-to-pay phone telephone calls to insure his conversations were not monitored. A slip of paper among his possessions contained a telephone number that was listed as a pay station in the lobby of a Fort Worth building . [WCE 2189 p641] This might have been his mother's place of work.

After James Buchanan wrote his newpaper articles about OSWALD in Miami, the FBI investigated him for violations of the Neutrality Act. James Buchanan was a member of Americans For Freedom. Americans For Freedom was headed by former International Anti-Communist Brigade member Edward Arthur and Claire Arthur Chennault, the son of Air Force General Claire Chennault. Arthur Chennault, Americans For Freedom Air Commander, had been discharged from the Army for impersonating an officer. In 1960 Arthur Chennault claimed to be a Air Force Captain and called Army Intelligence in West Berlin. He said he had been kidnapped and brought to East Germany but had escaped. [FBI 105-123828-26] Charles Ashman represented Americans for Freedom.In August 1963 Americans For Freedom had reactivated its plan to bomb Havana's oil refineries, this time employing Batista-owned P-51 fighter planes.

DeLesseps Morrison was connected to Mario Enrique Bermudez Quinones, who headed International House in New Orleans. When Morrison sought FBI information on Bermudez, it reported: "We never investigated Mario Bermudez and our files contain no information indicating he was a homosexual." The CIA reported, "Mario Bermudez Quinones - no traces" [CIA Increment 100-300-17] and "Mario Bermudez Nunez - Station files very sketchy. No indication ever used by JMWAVE. Notations on Subject's (deleted)." [CIA 100-300-17 12.30.67] William Sullivan recommended the State Department be informed of Morrison's request for information on Bermudez, and that future inquiries by Morrison be referred to State. Bermudez was associated with Will C. Brady, who frequented the Ryder Coffee Shop on Ramparts Street. Brady was a former Senatorial aide and a homosexual.OSWALD was alleged to have been seen at the home of the owner of this coffee shop, Jack J. Frazier, by Andrew Champion. "Champion was in January 1965 a source of information." [FBI 62-109060-4705] This allegation was unsubstantiated. [NARA FBI 124-10027-10209]

On November 29, 1963, J. Edgar Hoover sent the Bureau of Intelligence and Research of the State Department a memorandum that summarized the November 23, 1963, briefing given to "Mr. George Bush of the CIA," Defense Intelligence Agency Captain William Edwards and FBI S.A. W.T. Forsyth in Washington, D.C., concerning the reaction of the anti-Castro Cuban community in Miami to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. During the 1988 presidential campaign, Joseph McBride of The Nation claimed that the George Bush mentioned in the memorandum was George Herbert Walker Bush, who had been appointed Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1976. A Vice Presidential spokesman denied this. Richard Helms noted: "I don't recall anyone by that name working for the agency...He certainly never worked for me." Shortly after Joseph McBride's article appeared, CIA countered that the George Bush named in the memo was not the Vice President, but referred to George William Bush, who worked for the Agency during the period in question. Joseph McBride tracked down George William Bush, who told him he had been employed by the CIA for six months between 1963 and 1964, but never received interagency briefings, since he was "just a lowly researcher and analyst" who worked with photographs and documents concerning coastlines and landing beach sites. After leaving the CIA in 1964, George William Bush joined Captain William Edwards at the Defense Intelligence Agency. Joseph McBride quoted a Defense Intelligence Agency spokesman who confirmed that George William Bush worked there, performing the same duties he had with the CIA.
George Herbert Walker Bush flatly denied he was the person named in the memo: "I was in Houston, Texas, at the time...I was running for Senate in late 1963."George Herbert Walker Bush's statement was supported by this FBI report: "On November 22, 1963, Mr. George H.W. Bush, 5525 Briar, Houston, Texas, [the middle intials of George Bush's were H.W. and in 1963 he lived at 5525 Briar] telephonically advised...that one James Parrott has been talking of killing the President when he comes to Houston." (Kennedy visited Houston the day before he flew to Dallas.) James Parrott was a volunteer for the Harris County Republican Party, which Bush then chaired. James Parrott was contacted in April 1993: "At the time I was active with the Young Republicans and Young Americans for Freedom...We picketed Russian clergy who were KGB agents and other things, so they started rumors on me. George had heard the rumor. It was character assassination by the liberals out here. Republicans weren't supposed to go out and picket." A Dallas FBI report stated that "United States Secret Service at Houston, Texas, had received a report that James Parrott stated in 1961 he would kill President Kennedy." James Parrott was asked about this: "We were active politically...the John Birch Society was backing us. And George Bush came down for the John Tower campaign, he was campaign chairman at that time for that election." By 1993 James Parrott was a Republican precinct chairman and head of the Conservative Republican association. There was no report of George Herbert Walker Bush traveling to Washington, D.C., on November 23, 1963, nor did the name of George Herbert Walker Bush appear in any other Warren Commission document. George William Bush described his cover position with the Agency to Joseph McBride. A month later Joseph McBride admitted: "There was [only] a minor discrepancy in George William Bush's account of his background." [David Armstrong Austin Chronicle as cited in Realist 9.92; The Nation McBride 7.16.88, 8.13.88]
George Bush has observed: "I believed the Warren Commission. I saw no reason to question it." George Bush asked CIA official Seymour Bolton about a news story connecting OSWALD to the CIA. This article concerned the "laying on of interviews" by the CIA. [The Washington Star 10.1.76] In a Memorandum dated October 4, 1976, George Bush asked: "Will this cause problems for Helms?" Seymour Bolton replied that the article "will further smear Helms' reputation and probably cause him some anxious moments, but I do not see how it could result in any additional legal problems for him, as it is a gross distortion of the facts."

In 1992 Congress passed the JFK Documents Act. By 1996 I had almost completed my review of the millions of pages of documents already released as a result of this Act; however, there were still hundreds of thousands of pages of documents that had yet to be released. The text of the revised edition of Coup D'Etat in America took up 6,000 double spaced typewritten pages with a 12 point font. Published in standard book form this would have meant a book at least 2,500 pages long. The information could not be condensed without having to discard data that might have future significance when more material became available. So this researcher compiled a digitized data base, rather than a book.

OSWALD and Webster similarities: OSWALD and Webster were both military electronics experts and they defected to the USSR about the same time. Both sent letters to the Supreme Soviet requesting citizenship, however, only Webster's was granted. Both received subsidies from the Soviet Government.The CIA: "There is somewhat of a parallel between OSWALD and Webster." Webster left the Soviet Union unilaterally, although his decision was made just before he received word that his mother was receiving psychiatric care. OSWALD determined to leave the Soviet Union unilaterally, although his decision came just before the American Embassy was to deliver a personal message from his mother. Webster's initial letter received at the American Embassy contained a reference to a previous letter, which the American Embassy denied it had received. OSWALD'S initial letter received at the American Embassy contained a reference to a previous letter, which the American Embassy denied it had received. - CIA Chron. LHO USSR 1.13.60; DOS 12B File 295J - Snyder explained, "All letters to Embassies in Moscow passed through a central office where they were vetted by the KGB. We never knew how many things sent to us actually got to us. I don't think we ever got letters from Soviet citizens, and many of them must have written to us. They were stopped. In the case of OSWALD'S first letter, the chances are the KGB spotted the thing and it was bucked upstairs until the KGB decided what the hell they were going to do about it. It was not unusual. Why the KGB stopped one letter and not another, God only knows."

HEMMING: "Check the admiralty case regarding the Elsie M. Riechert. LaBorde, who was the guy who introduced us to Banister, recruited people out of New Orleans in 1962, one of whom was Jack D. Lawrence. He was a former Deputy Sheriff of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. They invested money in the Elsie M. Riechert. Lawrence came back to the dealership puking, with mud over him, right after the shooting. His fellow employees called the cops on him and he was picked up and told them some kind of a story. OSWALD'S picture comes on the T.V. and the other employees start talking in front of the cops. Lawrence was put in jail overnight and cut loose early the next morning. The way those people were handled, the next day they had something to say to the cops, and decided not to. They never mentioned it again. Two of their cars were missing off the lots. Dealer's plates. Lawrence had taken a new car from the dealership for a hot date. It was found parked behind the picket fence. He was supposed to park it there and flash some credentials. He didn't know shit about the assassination. He was a ex-cop. He had a gun and a badge.
"Bogard was from Louisiana and was at the training camp. He was one of the owners of the Elsie M. Riechert. He died four miles from the fucking training camp. [Bogard died in Louisiana.] He was murdered. He went out to talk to the property owner where the McLaney raid was made.
"The Elsie M. Riechert suit was filed in 1963. It came to court in 1964. And Lawrence is scared shitless of me. Here he is a guy who carries a gun, a Deputy Sheriff. He was an owner of the ship. I didn't realize this guy had something else on his mind. LaBorde sent him into the killing zone, and he saw what went down. He wasn't part of it. He was supposed to supply a car to OSWALD for some deal OSWALD was involved in. Get the court file. Jack Lawrence was scared shitless in the Miami Federal Courthouse. Because LaBorde convinced him I was heading the team."
Gordon Winslow obtained this file in May 1995. Collins, Seymour and Justin Wilson were libelants. They claimed they worked as seaman on the ship in the summer of 1962 and were not paid so they wanted the boat as compensation. "From the papers in the possession of the claimant it appears that the said Lee M. Parish purchased the vessel on or about January 2, 1963, from the following named individuals all residents of Louisiana; Irvin Anthony Roy, Jack D. Lawrence and George Rutherford." [USDC SDF ADMIRALTY 63-15-Adm-DD] Jack Lawrence was located in St. Albans, West Virginia. He refused to talk. A pretext call was made several months later. Lawrence said his middle initials were "A.C." and he was never a deputy sheriff in Louisiana.
Lawrence's arrest appears in Crossfire, by Jim Marrs. Marrs wrote that Lawrence obtained his job by obtaining false references in New Orleans. Lawrence failed to show up for work on November 22, and he told his boss he had a heavy date. After the assassination he came back to showroom, puked, and said he had parked his car on the grassy knoll. He had left it there because of heavy traffic. Lawrence, however, cannot be linked with HEMMING via the Elsie M. Riechert case.
In 1994 the CIA released a document to Chief Contact Divison (Support) Stuntz from Chief, New Orleans office in which Jack D. Lawrence tells the Domestic Contacts Office in New Orleans that LaBorde represented himself as a CIA when he got Lawrence to volunteer his boat the Elsie M. Riechert to run arms and medical supplies to Cuba. Lawrence wanted the CIA to buy the boat from him. Burke 9.25.62. Copies sent to Sam Halpern.

Browder's co-defendant in the Canadian Stolen Securities case was Frank "Francesco" Ferrara. Ferrara, who was indicted in his native city of New Haven, Connecticut, on two counts of dealing in stolen securities, was arrested a month after Browder and promptly jumped bail. A Frank Richard Ferraro became an employee of Jack Ruby in 1962. In August the two men had a falling out and Ruby pounded Ferrara with a pair of brass knuckles. When Ferrara checked into the hospital he used the name Ferraro. A day after Jack shot OSWALD, the FBI questioned Ferrara in New Haven, Connecticut where he worked as a bus driver. He told them he had worked for Ruby as a "handyman." Other than the New Haven connection, there is no reason to believe these men are identical. Browder's co-defendant in the Canadian Stolen Securities case was Frank "Francesco" Ferrara. When the FBI questioned Hyman Godfrey, a friend of Barney Ross, Hyman denied knowing RUBY. The FBI reported that when questioned further "Godfrey indicated he would have his attorney telephone the FBI Office and a list of questions could be furnished his attorney regarding this matter. Godfrey was bodyguard for Frank Ferraro, Chicago hoodlum." [FBI 44-1639-169] The word "omit" appeared next to this paragraph.
In 1938 former FBI agent Russell R. Farrell investigated the beating of a bomber crew in Abe's Colony Club. Farrell determined that the Dallas Police Department was involved in at least one of these beatings. Because of this, in 1964 Commander Farrell suspected that Ruby had been assigned to kill OSWALD with the connivance of the Dallas Police in order to silence him. Ruby did not own the Colony Club. Farrell gave the FBI copies of signed statements concerning the 1948 incident, but the document containing Farrell's statement was marked "not used."

On September 19, 1961, U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammerskjold was killed, along with 12 other persons, in a plane crash in Katanga Province. Hammerskjold was on his way to meet with Tshombe in an effort to end fighting in the Congo. The lone survivor of the crash, Harold M. Julian, a U.N. security guard, said that a series of explosions had preceeded the crash. No one could offer any explanation for the accident. Airplane pilots who viewed the wreckage said the crash appeared to be typical of the results of a power failure or faulty instruments. The CIA was not behind this act of sabotage; several people aboard the aircraft had CIA connections. Dr. Vladimir Fabry was a Czech defector and Heinrich Wieschhoff had been a OSS consultant on African affairs. The KGB was a better suspect. One day after Hammerskjold's death the Soviet Union attempted to replace the U.N. Secretary General with a triumvirate or Troika, representing Communist, Neutralist and Western members. The General Assembly voted overwhelmingly against the proposal.

I saw when we were being interviewed after we were released from the Key West jail when Steve Wilson comes over and says there's a guy over there you knows you from the Marine Corps and I looked over and the bells started ringing, snitch, snitch. I told Larry Howard go get rid of that son of a bitch, he's a snitch.
Ever hear of Art Silva?
Yeah.
Who's he?
I don't know.
Snitch.
SID MARKS as PCI - I knew that.They're all working for somebody. I knew that. I wouldn't have dealt with them. "So you knew this information would go back to the feds." Yeah, that they'd be happier than shit.
So where did you meet CHRIST?
At Secret Police Headquarters. That was September, when I was brought back.
You move in the same circles as OSWALD.
Strange isn't it?
On the Mariner they described this guy that wasn't there. We thought there were five or six people, two females on board, then there was another guy, this guy who had gotten nervous when they were telling the stories and they described the guy, he was from New Orleans, he's an ex-Marine. Then bells started ringing. This was LaBorde's operation, LaBorde had recruited these people. This guy got off the boat, took his gear said he was going to Miami. This was mid 1962.
No Name Key bust and OSWALD
Steve Wilson came over and interrupts ...Larry Howard is talking to the guy....snitch goes off...Never discussed it with him January 1981 on a legal case in California, I mean this is when he's been with me as a bodyguard in Puerto Rico in 1980, never discussed it.
OSWALD was in the hanger in mid-1962
He fits the profile of the guys in your crew
Yeah
KLIENS- they can put anything down they want to
"We met Walker in early 1962. Then I visited him in Dallas when Hall was with me in February 1963. Walker sent us money and gave us some contacts in 1962.
Who took a shot a Walker?
One of the faggots that lived with him
All Sturgis game was putting a hit on Fidel
MARTINO: The way he was moving around I wouldn't be surprised.
This guy fell out of my good graces the first fucking week in Miami. Then he pulled that shit with Molina Rivera running his fucking mouth in front of Bayo and creating a scene he got dumped.
HEMMING on the Bay of Pigs third world country, 50 years in the past, you don't need all this high tech bullshit.We had to cover for a certain amount of funding that was coming our way. We didn't want it traced back to the people who were giving us some funding. So we had to make it look like it came from some of these right-wing assholes.
Bay of Pigs MOLES in there. To do a hit on Fidel you got to have run way watches. You have to have people in different parts of the city for a guy that leaves no pattern, doesn't take the same route, and try to set up an event. You have to prophecies where this cocksucker is gonna show up and start running his mouth. Forget any of these holidays cause he can show up anywhere. You have to have some fucking runway watchers in there that can pin point where this sucker is gonna be and we have about a three hour window, so the people can get their gear together and get over there. Now they got to be in country legal...OSWALD wouldn't have been told shit. These assholes would approach him thinking there's this dumb motherfucker, well at least he didn't desert from the Marines, but he comes over to Russia, I guess they taught him a few. This is a dumb ass. The dumb ass. Not a professional spook, okay, let say a Minuteman or John Bircher or some other kind of fucking FBI type punk. Hell, we can use this asshole, he's got the bona fides we'll send his ass down to Cuba. Phillips had key people going in and out.
You ran a crew of Marines to do thing on their own time.
Yeah.
Alibi - over at Al Kennedy's place. Gave him ride to Miami News Building.
My sole contact is Bill Birge of the LA Country Sheriff's Department and Mayor Sam Yorty of Los Angeles.
"You got these fucking niggers running around with dope and machine guns and shit. What the fuck you trying to do? Fuck you people."
How HEMMING talked his way out of jail: These G-2 assholes were all punks from the Communist Party, the PSP, none of them were ever rebels, none of them were ever in the military. Here they are packing guns and playing cop.
I've had people come to me, fear full, that I was part of the operation. Because my name was bandied about by Giancanna, Charlie 'the blade,' Santos, all these fucking people. I developed a reputation as an executioner.
Collinsville was where Ray headed. "He went to Lauchli to pick up some equipment that had already been paid for. A couple a silenced weapons and shit like that. And that's where I loose track of him. Lauchli was under the impression the guy wanted to get out of the country. Collins knew a Jerry Ray that fit the description. Then James Earl Ray was hanging around L.A. the same time you were there. Somebody had him go out there to meet in a hotel or some such shit using some kind of a name. Now why would he go to the West Coast? They're building something. People find there way to doorsteps and shit. You never know its a set up its this or that usually the person you're dealing with has bona fides is reputable and easily checked on but who's putting him up to it and is he easily put to this kind of shit."
"I found people that made money on the Kennedy thing that had absolutely nothing to do with it."
DAVIS was living up in the radio room in the penthouse in the Cuban Presidential Palace. Because he's part of President Aruchia coterie. He had been Raoul's pilot, he'd left one plane burned on Raoul's airstrip up in the Sierra. So he had Charlie Hormel, the one that was publicly cause he crashed in Guatememo and the authorities fished him out and wouldn't turn him over to the Batista people.
You know why I got along with ANGLETON? I spoke Apache, yababye. He fancied himself an East L.A. kid and related to Apaches.The uncles got him a job, then he came back and worked for California Shipbuilding. And in Costa Rica, the Spanish, and the girls and all this kind of stuff and he was an electrician.
But here Hall running around seeing people that he wasn't supposed to know. In fact he didn't know. Larry Howard tried to get on my good side later on he said, 'I figured out this guy had stolen your address book because your name come up with two or three people that we stopped by to see. Then he started going around like a delivery man from one door to another all fucking night, one o'clock in the morning waking people up and it got real goddamn sickening and obnoxious.
And they say 'What the fuck is going on here?' And the Cubans don't understand English. They all wonder what the fuck is going on. He's ready to go to sleep in the goddamn trailer. So they feel this guy knows all these people, even if they are some of Gerry's contacts. Cause Howard had helped him backing up his story. 'You know Patrick's out of the business now, you know, and he got busted and he's telling these fucking stories. And here's Howard kind of biting his tongue, Seymour's keeping his mouth shut. Because Hall doesn't know Seymour has been with me for three fucking years.
George Davis took the Aleman story. They had me and Davis and HARGRAVES and a few others. There more of a threat than the Santana assholes. These guys are killers. Joe Garman wanted to pop the motherfucker. I said if you grab your piece the Secret Service is gonna get you. [We were being set up.] We were going to have to take the hit. We were the motherfucking patsies.
"The mystery is who's sending them there? The only guy Hall knows in Dallas is STURGIS' buddy Walley Welch. He met Lester Logue at the petroleum club where he had lunch. Nobody gave out any cards, this is Lester. Well t hat son of a bitch had the contacts to get to energy square one, Logue's home and golf course at North Ridge. Welch was an asshole that STURGIS brought into Cuba when Fidel came down from the mountains. We did an interview for the Dallas Morning News at Walley Welch's living room. We had a photograph taken."
"I called Lester Logue in Dallas. He confirmed that Hall had been there at least the night before. I said if that fucker shows up on your doorstep he's come to kill you so you better blow his fuck ass out of the water. I said the fucker's there, he's got my scoped rifle, he's a fucking nut, he might be involved in this. He might be cleaning up witnesses."
I figured this guy is somebody that will cause me problems, you know. I figured this guy is dogging me. I figured I'd stop by and say 'Hey, you wanna go to Cuba - you can't desert - forget about this revolutionary bullshit. He's gonna be testifying against me at a fucking federal trial. As I see it now somebody is trying to use my connections to get OSWALD in. And a lot of other Marines. This took place almost five years after I met ANGLETON. I met him in 1954. I'd been to Cuba several times running guns, and he like a good federal employee said watch your ass I can't condone this kind of shit we're not in the law enforcement business if you get nailed you're through dealing. You don't work for us, you aren't under our umbrella. I did a couple of weekends of courier duty for him toting shit around like in the old temporary buildings. But never an employee, never on the payroll.
LaBorde showed up in 1962. A safehouse was set up, and who ends up knocking on the door like a Loran Hall, Larry LaBorde, the engineer, a nobody, a grease monkey. And he's got plans gonna take out this ship on pier three that's hauling stuff to Cuba. All these little ploys that people have tried us up on - bombings, kidnappings and shit - over the months. Robberies, all kinds of criminal activities they're trying to get people involved in so they can bust their ass.
HARGRAVES was in Miami with his nagging wife under surveillance.
Rorke and STURGIS had this Enrique Molina Rivera to sit in with his group. I said the fuckers a Castro Agent. I had briefed his pilot how to stay alive flying over Cuba...I said if you want to stay alive you'll won't tell anybody else, don't tell Rorke, Rorke's an asshole. Then, a couple of days later I find EMR & STURGIS are at the same goddamn apartment complex talking and meeting this pissed me off. I told Rorke, you ain't gonna get another goddamn briefing. This fucker is a Castro agent, I known him from Cuba. This guy threatened to kill me. This guy threatened to kill fucking TRAFFICANTE. He's the one that ran the little prison where TRAFFICANTE and Loran Hall and Hughes and them were kept there. The guy would talk about the last time he talked to Raoul Castro which would be a week before on the fucking telephone. That's how and psycho this cocksucker was. He didn't hide it. He's against the revolution as an arm of the Russians because of the missile crisis and all that shit but he's still friendly with all the figures. He figures its all being kept from Fidel and Raoul. They're being kept in the dark by the Russians. They're dumb enough to associate with the asshole.
SID MARKS as PCI - I knew that.They're all working for somebody. I knew that. I wouldn't have dealt with them. "So you knew this information would go back to the feds." Yeah, that they'd be happier than shit.
They got a sailor that's AWOL from Memphis living next door in the apartment house in El Monte California, talking all this shit with HARGRAVES who lives next door. Do they talk about pussy do they talk about this. Talking to an iron worker who busts his ass everyday, HARGRAVES, and myself at the time were in construction working eight hours a day. And here's a guy that right away starts talking about guns and revolutions and hinky bullshit well that kind of tells you something. The government was just using their snitches to find out what the hell we're up to. We're in PROJECT CHAOS at the time. That's the word they put on the paperwork.
He got that through Hendricks, the lieutenant in Long Beach California that ran the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit, LIEU, which is all Special Forces types around the country.
Ray wouldn't know what the unit was. Wackenhut helped set it up. They were going to set it up in Florida in 1967 with Governor Claude Kirk and the Herald put the end to that shit, they were going to set up a private intelligence agency in the state of Florida.
OSWALD didn't single me out, he was there talking to the Cubans. I took him outside the building. I told the Cubans, don't think this guy is with me. You've already been instructed not to deal with any Americans, not to give any press conferences, you've got this guy inside the fucking house, he sees what's going on, you don't know whether he speaks Spanish or not, you're not supposed to be giving out any visas or anything like that, you don't have the authority to do a goddamn thing so what is this guy doing in the house? ....Here's this gringo wants to join the revolution and he's not being specific as to who...but he's using all these Marine Corps words...I'm wearing an army uniform...I'm in my rebel uniform HEMMING was asked "If you didn't know who OSWALD was when you met him at the Consulate, how did you locate him at El Toro?" The second time he came I said, 'Hey, let me see your ID, I saw his ID. He came back a second time after I ran him off. Some calls me and says he's over there. 'Hey your friends back.' Friend, I said 'I ain't got fucking friends here. They didn't know where I lived they know my real name. I went back there in my mother's car and said 'What the fuck is up sports? Took him out the driveway again. I figured, 'Well they got this place under surveillance there gonna get a goddamned picture. I said, 'Look what is the thing? I told you these people can't do a damn thing for you. Number one you say you're in the Armed Forces you're in the Armed Forces, your an LTA. What makes you think I would know what LTA is? What makes you think I'm a fucking Marine? These Cubans don't know if I'm a soldier or boy scout or fucking Marine? Who the fuck are you, you know. I asked to see his dog tag. So we parted a little bit hot. I figure he's on my fucking trial for the stolen guns. So there's an additional charge. Remember Marines had deserted from Guantanamo to go into the mountains with Fidel. They nailed two guys on the base for causing that shit.
LaBorde did what he was told to do, set us up.
Courtney's wife held up a thing that had the guy's name on it, OSWALD. February or March 1963.
"They described the guy that had come on board as a volunteer crew guy and he was a guy when they were telling these ghost about the ghosts walking the deck of the ship and all that kind of stuff he got real nervous. And there was a big cackle laughing about when drove over to Fort Meyers Beach cause they brought out food cause we had contacts over there took care of him. So we spent on the (?) And were talking this and talking that then there come up there's this guy that knows me. Well, Kolby has a Z card, he's been a Merchant Marine guy for years. And Kolby had come back to us at No Name a couple of months before had gone on a ship, Lykes brothers or something and had pulled into New Orleans and ran into somebody in New Orleans that got on the ship and introduced him to some other people about all those wonderful things they ere doing in Cuba and parades and t his kind of horseshit he probably read the Stuckey story is what we figured at the time. And Kolby says he got a big laugh out of it because my name came and Davie's name came up and this guy like didn't know that Kolby was there and would have been there while this was happening. He just wrote the guy off as some kind of an asshole. It turns out he wasn't
Manuel Aguilar-Castro agent aj reads documentThe last time I had Aguilar located was at a house we were going to hit it to recover my rifle and other equipment that they had purloined and a trailer full of medicines and shit we'd gotten part of the trailer we wanted the rest of the medicines so we could ship them to Cuba legally. And the next thing you know they were getting permission with Masferrer and them to go down and use No Name Key as a base and that's the last of Aguilar. Summer of 1963 and we were busy on other stuff.
Snitching on Gabaldan for ATF Petered out 1961 - sent to Miami to infiltrate anti-castroites at Hargraves motel. Still is ATF informant.
Hemming: "Well that just tells me Howard probably recruited OSWALD. He had a habit of doing that, he was trying to set up his own organization. Which he did with Hall, when Hall showed up he recruited Hall. When these people go home they're working for whoever they're working for. Howard was not setting OSWALD up, he was finding out where he was coming from. The guy shows up on the scene and you're working as an informant for ATF or anybody else you're expected to fill out a goddamn index card on who this sucker is, try to get a copy of his prints and everything else. He probably was out of the West Coast meeting with Howard. And Howard would know shit about it, he just does he's told to fucking do."
Aguilar was trying to buy some guns and shit and he got a box full of rocks delivered to him...Ralph Hernandez set up a buy with Aguilar and box full of rocks it became an armed confrontation Metro Miami Police. I figured here's Ralph Hernandez and they all got machine guns and I figured at any moment Aguilar is going to have Hall and that crowd on the scene and things are gonna get real interesting.
You know what I told Garrison? The mystery to me is Hall leaves the sixth street and fourth avenue safehouse with Enrique Molina Rivera, okay. He's next seem around the corner in a little apartment complex that looks like a motel with Rorke , Sullivan, Sturgis.
Roy Hargraves was great buddies with Aguilar, okay and HARGRAVES had been told to stay away from him and was getting ready to put a bomb on his ass because he put a bomb on Louie
Balbana's [phonetic] house that night after the scene with Hall and Molina and Bayo they blew the front door in one Balbana's house. They were going to hit Aguilar.
The Panama thing went bad in the latter part of February 1959 and everyone was on their guard. This wasn't sanctioned by Fidel it wasn't sanctioned by anybody. And none of the assholes that went on this invasion were rebels, they hadn't been in the mountains, they all had short hair. The guy that organized the Panama invasion was William Pawley. He suckered John Wayne's people and everybody into the thing. Pawley met him when they were making a movie about the Flying Tigers. You had two invasions of them in Nicaragua. Somoza got into the act too, he was happier than shit. Nobody could figure why there people weren't shot, there wasn't a state of siege declared. The real guerillas, things got real peaceful for them. Pastora told us right away that everything got peaceful as shit when this invasion stuff started going down. Like a fucking joke. They were all provocations. All of them were amateur assholes. These are the baited hooks that are out there.
That's why it was strange because here's Rorke and Sherman Billingsly is one of the guys who knows Hoover's secrets him and his old lady and Rorke is allowed to do all kinds of shit cause his father-in-law is fucking Billingsley. But we figured he's working for fucking Hoover. See, Rorke had been busted by Morgan in Morgan's house during the Trujillo invasion. Rorke was playing newsman there. Morgan arrested his ass. He was coming in there to do a big press release about how Trujillo's have invaded Cuba in July of 1959. So we knew Rorke from Cuba. Who's he working for? Who gives a shit? But he's working for somebody.
That kid went out in the bush with seven other Marines hunting Huks, just out side of Angeles City on the base slopes of Mount Arayat. They drove through Olongapo...I can give you the whole fucking schedule. Every night at Subic Bay and Cubi Point were out hunting Huks on the weekends. First four guys got killed they clamped down, they took everybody's 782 shooter away from 'em. Gotta knock off this shit. OSWALD got wounded outside of fucking Angeles City by a grenade fragment, playing Huk hunter.
What's that shit about STURGIS going to Dallas. He called up Philipe Vidal, I needed a ride, I had him come over to MARTINO'S house. And confirmed that STURGIS had approached him to go to Dallas and meet these money people and all this other bullshit. The caravan left on November 19, the next day."
O'Conner came by by himself, which he was prone to do, because there weren't that many people working his division which was agents, O'Conner focused on Castro agents, KGB's and all that kind of bullshit. O'Conner came by and said Dywer and a couple of other guys are gonna be coming by and what do you think? Do you think any of the Miami people could have been involved in this? I said I ain't got a fucking clue. There's weird shit that happens but I ain't got a fucking clue. He said, When they come by they're probably not gonna ask you too much shit anyway, I wouldn't volunteer anything. Well they know that I'm the one that has his fingers on every fucking move that's going on.
HEMMING saw ANGLETON March 1963 then I saw him in January or February 1964. Told him he was shutting the mother fucker down.
LaBorde shows up and I can't even remeber what his fucking cover story was. I thought he was dead. This is a safe house. Like we ain't adversting where we're living. He ran afoul of smugglers in 1978 and 1979 he sank the goddamn corvette. He shows up again in 1978 when we're in the smuggling business, hearing all kinds of stories from people that he knows, so evidentally he's been inside doing that type of work on Black Tuna, Banco, Grouper One and Grouper Two, Swordfish. This fucker shows up and he knowns a lot of the princpals. So I figure he's still on the company payroll. There pissed off because we're going after company people. The guy that ran the inteliigence for the bay of Pigs was of the top smugglers. The fuckers threw down on me with silienced MAC-10 for about four hours. He had a condo with a fucking drain in the floor. These are bad assed mother fuckers, they're all top CIA people and they're all fucking smugglers. We went after their Colombian assets.
Popped with qualudes April 14, 1980; July 1976 first indictment; October 1976 transfer of silencer.
Got to Baton Rouge, talked to everybody there, met with HARGRAVES and went to see Garrison. After two weeks with Garrison HARGRAVES deceided to turn over the construction company to Whatley, Louis Van Hook and take off with me to California.
What happened the next day the Robert Kennedy assassination that's got my name on it? The next morning at 7:30 in the morning they had Sirhan's mother's house bannered off a crime scence and Dick Hathcock working for Baxter Ward, was there with a camera mna anbd a sound van and I drove up in my black and white as I drove up in my black and white and went inside Sirhan's mothers house. He almost had a heart attack when I walked by him.
Did you go on behalf of the LAPD?
No, on behalf of me.
That was with Lloyd Pullen. He was on the Joe Pine Show reguarly, called all these people niggers and all kinds of shit. So HARGRAVES had a sort of a welfare thing, lived in the projects. He showed the niggers how to organize. He got the community affairs volunteers all agitated cause there were a lot of Latinos there and all that kind of shit there. One thing led to another and we had TV cameras, we got him before the county commission, got him on KhG- TV-9, Maria Coles program, Bob Dornan. HARGRAVES did some benefits some benefits for these people because they were being fucked over by these conservative anti-welfare shitheads. So Pullen was shocked that HARGRAVES was doing all these good things for the niggers. I told HARGRAVES when Pullen confronts you with this try to get as much information so we know who his sources are, how accurate his sources are because I'm dealing with the LA County Sheriff's Intel Bureau and they wanted to know what Long Beach PD is doing what all these other people are doing. So Pullen confronted him and practiclally told him howq he wiped his ass the night before. I mean this is up to date accurate fucking information. So HARGRAVES came back on him and said 'You're dealing with top fucking people. Who is it, L E Inteligence Unit. So Pullen figured , 'Wait a minute what have we got here. Then they turned him over to Lt. Hendricks of Long Beach PD Intell who was the chairman of the LEIU.
After we did our Garrison thing he decided that things were kind of boring in Louisiana and it's time to get out of Dodge. Cleaver was on the CIA pay roll, Ron Karanga, organized US, bullshited Freed and all those other people. he wanted to start a war like a ranch war. Project Long Beach, fucking M-60's, AK 47s all over the fucking place. They were going to go and hit the downtown Panther Headquarters. I told 'em, 'There ain't nothing there. There's four boxes of 50 caliber ammo, but there's tunnels, steel doors, sandbags and bad motherfuckers that walk in there. Four guys walked up to the front and they blew their fuckasses away. Ended up having to bomb them from the fucking roof.
The whole scheme was to get the brown berets together with the Black Panthers so that the final solution could all happen at once. You had the Watts riots then the Martin Luther King thing in 1968. They said 'Enough of this shit, we're gonna eliminate these motherfuckers. If they ain't here they can't riot. Duarte is supposed to be a Castro Cuban because he wasn't known in the Miami exile community that wide. So he come through Mexico. So all these Fidelista's from Mexico were gonna help the Brown Berets. It was a woman who worked for the Goldwater campaign that was built like a brick shithouse, looks like Angie Dickinson, married but fucked like a pig. I had her riding in my lap in a Volkswagon. She got off on these bombings. Running around with Lyod Pullen and fucking Hargraves blowing up these fucking buildings and shit, but she was working for the company to. Hendricks of the LA PD put Durarte on HARGRAVES and they were stunned that they knew one another. They immediately started speaking Spanish. Because the Long Beach PD and CIA thought he had come out of Mexico, that he'd defected. HARGRAVES says 'Bullshit, this motherfucker has been working with us in Miami for five fucking years, working for Masferrer.
They would stand you with three or four people and leave you standing alive a couple of minutes later. Now that's trauma and that could fuck you up and people could think you're a nut after that. You were deprived of water cause its abandoned stables the secret police or garages at the time for cells. There's 47 fucking people in here, we can't even lay down, it's hotter than shit, the windows are fucking closed up with welded steel plates. No ventilation, there's sweat pouring off of us. The floor has constantly got an inch of goddamn water, sweat, it stinks. There's one little faucet which you got to put a handkerchief over cause visible worms come out of the water and you have to ask the guards to turn the water on and they're rotating guards because in a matter of a couple of days they get sympathetic to you. Cause they find out you're a rebel and all that kind of stuff.
HARGRAVES he's done time twice in the 70 and 1980's. He injured himself in construction and got insurance settlements on three occasions. Got addicted to the pain killer, had a spinal fusion, had ruptured disks, all kinds of horseshit. Became a junkie and robbed banks, went to prison and got out. Suffice to say the word militia is close to his heart.
Guy who set HEMMING up was friend of sister-in-law.
Collins introduced me to a number of people. Jerry Ray may have been one of John Bloomer's guys.See I was going to send Whatley and Collins and those people to train one of Bloomer's teams but we got involved with something else. Bloomer was with the NSRP. He came out with four people. Collins came by the house, he was in a cab and went to a meeting on the corner bar.
They moved in on HARGRAVES in El Monte. I knew the Humphrey visit was coming up and I put into COPE. About the time that HARGRAVES was shaking hands with Hubert Humphrey. This asshole sailor shows up a couple of days later. I thought, we'll it's the Secret Service but they're getting a little bit heavy hear. Intel been getting inquiries from people. So I told HARGRAVES, ignore the motherfucker. And this guy has parties, has his own pad there, a lot of drinking, smoking dope and shit and he's AWOL from NAS Memphis. HARGRAVES probably ran his mouth about political stuff but he was suspicious because this guy seemed to know too much. He was really on his toes, people trying to set him up. So out of the blue here's some fucker talking he's contract to do King and all that. Where wondering if its beer talk? I told him, "While we're working this shit, don't be seen with these people.' I mean he'd been with Garrison, he knew the scenario patsies and all that kind of shit. I said it could be right out of the blue, set you up with hot car, a car full of dope, whatever, to put you out of circulation. And you'll never know why. You'll never know why. There gonna take you out of circulation. We just couldn't get rid of this guy. Then, a day or two before the event, the guy packs up very quietly and says he going back to Memphis. Well, HARGRAVES had already sent him over, use the pay phone call the Bureau. Ask for so and so, who I didn't know, his name was given to me. He met with them, miles away from El Monte, he refused to identify himself but they knew who he was so that made him nervous. The Bureau was paying for the meal, freeloading a big, there happier than shit cause they eating a big meal. Then the thing goes down, and he was more worried about FBI now. HARGRAVES moved out of El Monte real fast. He knew the safest place to go was in niggertown cause he knew there was no niggers in the FBI. He was worried about the FBI at that time. He figured they were part of it. He'd warned them nothing was done. It's an AWOL sailor, they should have busted him. They should have come by, nobody came by that apartment, nobody fucked with this guy. HARGRAVES was on unemployment workmens comp injury stuff, he injured himself working in LA in early 1968. He ended up getting forty grand for that and ah the latter part of 1968, it took about a year to get it, then he went back to Florida, got a bunch of weapons for Alpha and they wouldn't let him go on the trip, everybody died on the fucking trip, he's still bitching about, all the M-16s and shit that he bought through Lauchli on the way back.
Porch monkey sidewalk nigger boo.
And here's HARGRAVES, we're down in Watts and kicking in the front of one of the Panther operations. We got niggers that are shaking down old folks down in Compton and shit, regular gang bullshit. The cops were happier than shit because we're coming in and fucking these people over. And they think they're bad. One Sunday with Lloyd Pullen in his military camofauged jeep we pull up in front the NOI temple. No parking there. Park, get out, there's a couple of guys with their boyties and shit. Pullen shot by blacks spent a week in the hospital. Pullen was very prominent on TV in the press one of the guys that during the Watts riot organized a group of like militia that protected a lot of properties in Long Beach. This was a case where I got connected with the guy through Joe Pine. Pullen has an incorporated group and there big thing is getting ready for the next one. He would tell people and he would tell Joe Pine, 'Hey you people who have problems with nigger gangs or any of this kind of bullshit you let me know, we'll do something about it. So he was favorite with the cops.
Werbell's MAC-10's and all that shit, that opened the door to the palace level, the highest level, in every fucking country south of the Rio Grande. And opened us to everything that was going on. This group wanted to pull a coup, death squads, the whole fucking thing. The only element that has that whole package of civilians, foreign ministers, ex-ministers, government, a cabal in each country including wealthy land owners. The only element that has more than the gun people are the dope smugglers. Because all these people are on their payroll.
RAOUL: "First name, Robert. He's dead now, he died three years ago. He ain't no spic but he spoke perfect Spanish, he could pass as a spic, but he wasn't no spic. Raoul, AKA Robert, his files are in Maryland, at a relatives house. He most recently was with the Croats till he died three years ago, but Romero, the attempt on Betancourt in 1960. His files are available if we had some money. You've heard the guys name before and you've heard his aliases but you never put him together with this. This guy was an author of many many things that had to do wit this kind of business, coups and all that shit under a pseudonym. The relative doesn't know the guys nasty background, he just knows the intelligence side. The sketch looks like Robert. Died a horrible death, cancer, horrible fucking death. The treatment weakened him, he bled to death in the middle of the night. HARGRAVES knew this guy well. All of our people knew him well.
Even Hoffa couldn't believe it was going down, he had so much respect for Grady Partin. HARGRAVES was dealing with Grady Partin when he was still friendly with Hoffa. Partin helped do a number of things in Baton Rouge for HARGRAVES. And HARGRAVES was puzzled what the hell could they get on Grady to make him roll over that way. I never asked HARGRAVES [about Partin's connection to Castro] but they were like two of kind in talking about revolutionaries, that was a term that were used, the real revolutionaries, starting with the American revolution. HARGRAVES got along famously with Grady because he talked like a revolutionary and he had the stories and he had the shit together in the exact (?) and that kind of stuff.
In 1967 I was standing there talkin to Hubert Humphrey. One agent goes behind my car and checks to Florida National Guard license plate on m7 1966 Polaris. Meanwhile I'm talking to Hubert Humphrey on the sidewalk.
Aragon was a company man, CIA. He had all the ID but he hadn't gone through their school. He was in protective research, which is the unnamed department nobody ever heard of an all that shit so when we walked in on GASQUEZ I said I'm here to see Ernie Aragon protective research. That gets you in the door.
I'm supporting him with money on a weekly basis, somebody's giving money to Lt. Hendricks LIEU and some operational funds are dispersed out to Pullen and a little bit might get to HARGRAVES. But what is he going to use money for other than gasoline or this or that. He wasn't allowed to have a car. Then somebody might question how you afford a car when you're living in a fucking project. He has to be poor, white trash. That's his best role. Any money he had an explanation - he sold a couple of ounces of pot, or this or that, which he did because he had a license to steal - he could have gone down and robbed banks and got away with it - but it would have fucked up the operation. It would have brought the Bureau in.
Peru AMDOC inc Tom Dooley who ran CIA cover op in Laos. Fucked up - fix up.
1971 independent work
In 1971 we were doing the weapons being delivered to the Mexican Judicial Police to take out Luchiano the guerilla leader in the states of Moralos and Guerro. And he was taken out with MAC-10's and silencers.
1972 Death squads, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvadore for Parabellum. Supplying the death squad with weaponry so we can be friends with them. 1971- 1975.
They were never touched, they were company. Very wealthy people. Carabba is an importer exported. O'Donnel and Thomas - 'They're all international land developers. They have part of Paradise Island over in Nassau.' Verisi has a yacht over at Fort Everglades. None of them were ever touched.
June 1976. Denies involvement in plot to kill Langerud.
Cokie Zimeri, the palace assassin had a falling out with Langerude. Shelito was running around throwing hand grenades and shooting at people. Cokie and the old man didn't like it because the kid got wounded by a German grenade in the streets with my brother out on an operation. Cokie's not one to take a lot of shit plus he had enemies in the palace military, mostly intelligence assholes. So they tried to do a hit on him and President wouldn't believe it so he had a confrontation with the President and the L was embassased that he had been bullshited. In Cokie's book that's when you kill people but L would discipline them, just send them out of the country, Spain or somewhere. That pissed Cokie off because Cokie's a bit of a psychopath and he had (?) Plus he's very wealthy, his family they're Palestinians. They're personal friends with Arafat and Khadaffi, world travelers, they owned banks here in Miami. At that time they were worth 80 or 90 million. They did a major hit on Cokie a couple of days after my brother left. My brother was living with him as a bodyguard and all that shit in 1975. [He was hit] He's driving and his hands were shot up so bad because he's trying to drive with his elbows. And he can't see out the windshield because its covered with blood. But he turns on the windshield wiper and says it didn't work worth a shit, cause the blood was squirting out of my chest on the inside. Arrangements were made, I flew down there, things happened, he was taken to El Salvador to recuperate.
Did he practice with that weapon? I take it under consideration. The guy would have had to have practiced somewhere, it had to be a remote area, buses don't run to remote areas and they don't want him to have a friend with a car - that's completely out - so he's got to ride a bus to a place within the city that is a range to fire his weapon. Where's the box of ammo, where's the empty shell casings? Where is the gun cleaning kit, where are the extra clips that hold the fucking bullets. The clip doesn't come with the weapon.
HEMMING: "Where does he zero the scope. When the package comes from Klein's the scopes not mounted. You got to mount it."
It could be a completely innocent thing and that one of these mysterious friends that he'd never want to identify whoever encouraged him to get the weapon or bought the weapon for him or all that bullshit he one his own decided Hell, I'll call up Sammy or SLIME BALL and pop a few caps. My next problem is getting fucking ammo. Well maybe SLIME BALL or Sammy. Well let me look around and it took him a few weeks and he found some ammo.
Now they went to that address and Kikki Ferrer was the guy that talked to Larry Howard. Hall was trying to locate Cisneros' buddy by the name of Nico Lopez. They had the name wrong. The guy's real name was Naico Crespi, Cammillo's number four guy that when Camillio got it got the fuck out of here. He lived on Magellin Circle. That was his mailing address. So when he moved to Fort Worth this Kiki Ferrer friend snitch who was spying on Naico Crespi was the Cuban they were sent to. Larry Howard didn't know that I knew Niaco Crespi. Loran Hall didn't know. The FBI did because NC was a suspected Castro agent. Who did they have spying on him? Another suspected Castro agent, Kiki Ferrer.
