Caravan to Dallas

The many moving parts in the murder of President Kennedy on November 22, 1963 in Dallas' Dealey Plaza may have looked like a Rube Goldberg contraption, but it was quite effective. One of those movements was that of the two car caravan which arrived in Dallas carrying scoped rifles to be used in the murder the following day.

Although we have Chronicled this story before, like all good stories, it bears repeating, with some additional detail added.

Most JFK assassination researchers are aware of Marita Lorenz' testimony in the court case instigated by E Howard Hunt's lawsuit against the newspaper The Spotlight. Hunt claimed that an article by Victor Marchetti, a former high ranking CIA official, which the newspaper published, libelously placed him in Dallas on November 22, 1963, the implication being that he was involved in the assassination.

Rather than respond to the article, as offered by the editors, Hunt chose to sue. While he won his initial trial, he lost the appeal when Mark Lane took the case. The details revealed in court testimony were explosive, and were most undoubtedly the reasons why Hunt and his CIA supplied lawyers chose to terminate legal proceedings.

The bombshell of the case is that it legally proved that CIA was involved in the murder of President Kennedy in Dallas' Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.

The testimony revealed that a former mistress of Fidel Castro accompanied a party leaving for Dallas from a CIA safehouse in Miami. The persons in the caravan were Lorenz, her handler Frank Sturgis, 

Guillermo Novo, and Ignacio Novo. The cargo was telescoped rifles. Other conspirators may have accompanied them.

Lorenz testified that she was supposed to act as decoy, but was unclear in what capacity. Growing nervous about the operation, she left Dallas 11/22, but not without first meeting with Jack Ruby (born Rubenstein) and E Howard Hunt. Hunt was the paymaster who handed Sturgis a bag of money.

Michael Collins Piper raises the possibility that Hunt may not have known the reason for the payment, that he was being framed or made frameable, but it is clear that he was in Dallas on November 21, and there are no reasons beyond Hunt's convoluted and contradictory lies to believe that he was not in Dallas on November 22. However, that point is largely immaterial.

What is more interesting to us is that Frank Sturgis and the Novo brothers met with Jack Ruby that evening. This incendiary revelation proves that Ruby had advanced knowledge of the assassination or at the very least was working with two of the president's snipers. There are revisionists working for Mossad who claim that Ruby was "childlike" and would never be trusted with any assassination plans. This court testimony by Lorenz totally debunks those putrid lies exonerating Ruby.

Furthermore, as Piper documents, Sturgis and Ruby both worked for Jewish intelligence through Jew Meyer Lansky who was the international crime lord of American, Jewish, and other criminal organizations. Lansky worked hand-in-hand with Mossad. Ruby was a trusted Lansky partner, the former of whom admired Jew Mickey Cohen who also was Lansky's lieutenant in Los Angeles.

As we have Chronicled elsewhere - and so does Piper - the Novo brothers also murdered Chilean diplomat Orlando Letelier in 1976, working out of the office of Senator James Buckley.

Another earthquake emanating from the court room was Lorenz' testimony that her handler, Frank Sturgis, admitted to murdering the president. Although it is hearsay information, in no way is it less astounding, and begs why Sturgis was not arrested and questioned.

"We killed the president that day . . . Everything was

covered in advance. No arrests, no real newspaper investigation. It was all

covered, very professional."

Returning to the allegations of Lorenz providing hearsay evidence, Piper relates that Cuban intelligence General Fabian Escalante confirmed her testimony, stating that Sturgis was in charge of communications, particularly on the movements of the motorcade through Dallas.

Thanks to E Howard Hunt and his CIA lawyers, we can confidently conclude that the agency was a major participant in the murder of the president of the United States. However, it leaves open one rather fascinating question, Why did CIA allow the case to go to trial, risking disclosure of damning information? And why did it ask Lorenz who was in the caravan?

The Kennedy Assassins

Mark Lane’s latest book, Last Word, on the John Kennedy assassination is a tour de force of evidence, logic, and scholarship. It is a gold mine of information including the names of the principal actors in the sordid execution of an American president. In this posting, we will focus on the chapter of the book concerning The Liberty Lobby and its newspaper The Spotlight whose defense against E Howard Hunt blew the case wide open.

In 1978, The Spotlight published an article by ex-CIA agent Victor Marchetti concerning E Howard Hunt’s presence in Dallas on November 22, 1963 as well as his connections with the murder of the president. Marchetti also predicted certain outcomes of the House Select Committee on Assassinations which never materialized.

Hunt took exception to this article through a lawsuit which awarded him 650,000 USD in no small part due to the defendant's lawyer's utter incompetence. Fortunately The Liberty Lobby was able to win an appeal on grounds of plain error for which the appellate judges remanded the case back for retrial.

At this point, each team acquired a new set of attorneys in which comes Mark Lane for the defense. Lane is well known to Kennedy researchers as perhaps the dean of Assassination historians for his legal and learned presentation of facts and analysis concerning the case, to say nothing of his early and loud objections to the quackery of the Warren Commission. Lane is perhaps the most cogent and reasonable advocate for the case in favor of a conspiracy.

Lane develops a case based upon the substance and merit of the article – namely that Hunt was involved in a conspiracy to kill the President and that he was indeed in Dallas at the time of the murder. During depositions and court testimony, we discover the names of those operationally involved in the murder including possibly some of the trigger men.

Many names are well worn among assassination researchers such as E. Howard Hunt, Frank Sturgis aka Frank Fiorini, and perhaps to a less extent Gerry Patrick Hemming. The star witness at the trial was Marita Lorenz who was briefly Fidel Castro’s mistress whom the CIA had turned into one of their agents.

She testified that Hunt, Sturgis, and she were all CIA agents - paid by the agency - who had taken a convoy of two cars (corrected by Hemming as three) to Dallas arriving 11/21. They met in a motel room where Hunt paid Sturgis an envelope of cash. Knowing that something horrifically big was about to happen, Marita begged Sturgis to get her out of Dallas which he did that night. Before leaving she met Jack Ruby who visited them in the motel room.

When Hunt’s attorney asked her who the men in the convoy were, she named the aforementioned party plus brothers Novo and Pedro Diaz Lenz. This testimony is astonishing because it gives us the names of key assassins in the plot.

Marita also testified that Guillermo and Ignacio Novo were also accomplices to the assassination – brothers who later murdered Orlando Letelier and Ronni Moffitt in 1976. The former was foreign minister under Salvador Allende who was deposed and murdered in a CIA coup in 1973, while the latter was an American woman working to bring democracy to Chile.

What is even more interesting about the Novo brothers is that they were working under James Buckley, a former senator and judge with deep intelligence connections, and brother of spook William Buckley, to murder these people.

After the trial, Lane found Hemming with whom he shared the details of the testimony. He confirmed it with the correction already noted parenthetically above.

James Douglass reports in his fabulous book, The Assassination of John F Kennedy and Why It Matters, witnesses who saw someone – Jack Ruby - positioning firearms at the underpass. Indeed, he was positioning the weapons – which contained small arms to machine guns – he obtained from Sturgis the night before at at motel where Marita was briefly located on 11/21. Jacky Ruby was intimately involved with underworld mobsters.

The wonderful benefit of including the mob in the plot is that the CIA could create more confusion and deniability for its part by sending historians down another rabbit hole in pursuit of the mob. Indeed, one recent book’s thesis is that the mob masterminded the assassination – a contention so retarded as to leave one wondering if the author of that book has even a GED.

If you have been living under a rock, as I had been, and not known the details of the Liberty Lobby case, you would never know that a jury determined for court record that the CIA indeed murdered the president of the United States in broad daylight.
