" Gen. Charles de Gaulle, the taught President of the Republic bent on restoring France as a world power, never believe that Oswald acted alone. "You're kidding me, he scoffed to an interviewer. "Cowboys and Indians!" De Gaulle, himself the target of an assassination attempt by right-wing military officers the year before Dallas, reflected the deep-seated skepticism that prevailed in Europe following the publication of the Warren Report. From Lond to Moscow American travelers were braced with the questions: Who was behind it? In politically-sophisticated Europe, the "lone nut" theory was as ludicrous as square wheels....But it was not until 1967, when Jim Garrison burst upon the scene, that an inner circle of French government including De Gaulle and his secret service chief Andre Ducret, made a move. " The first overt act came in the form of a phone call from New York to Garrison. The caller identified himself a representative of Frontiers Publishing Company of Geneva, Switzerland. He said that his firm had an important work in progress on the Kennedy assassination which would soon be published in Europe, and wondered if Mr. Garrison would be interested in taking a look. It was like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit." " Within days the D.A.'s mailbag brought three blackbound volumes of manuscript. The title of this opus magnum, Farewell America, seemed to say that of the world should bid adieu to the country it had known. the author of the record was James Hepburn, whose name was nowhere to be found in the Writer's Directory...." "...The manuscript borrowed liberally from published critics of the Warren Report, but it also displayed a remarkable breadth of knowledge about the roots of the Cold War, the interlinkage between the large corporate and banking interests and ever-growing American intelligence apparatus, and the inner workings of the international petroleum cartels....The manuscript was clearly staff-written or at least scribed by Hepburn with the aid of resources far beyond the reach of the ordinary author. This was later confirmed when the manuscript saw the light of print and the dust jacket declared: "Farewell America was begun in the spring of 1967 and written in New York, Spain, and Paris with the assistance of various European and American specialists." " The theme of the manuscript was that JFK was killed by an amalgam of powerful interests both public and private, that had nightmares about a Kennedy dynasty that might extend through a Teddy presidency. This amalgam, which is called the Committee, perceived Kennedy as a menace to the global superiority of the United States by his week-kneed stand on relations with the Soviet Union and his determination to bridle the nuclear arms race. Despite his uppercrust upbringing he had caved in to the racial-equality rabblerousers such as Martin Luther King. And he had landed on the might corporations as US Steel with the memorable line: "The American people will find it hard, as I do, to accept a situation in which a tiny handful of steel executives whose pursuit of private power and profit exceeds their sense of public responsibility can show such utter contempt for the interests of 185 million Americans." As Farewell put it, "there is not better way for a President to contract a growing number of enemies than to express himself to explicitly on the multititude of subjects with which he is concerned."" " Farewell's bottom line was that JFK's enemies, collaborating with CIA headquarter's and other parties at interest moved to exorcise the Kennedy curse As engineered by The Committee, it was a scheme of Machiavellian complexity that at the same time was diabolically simple: a sponsorship level, a supervisorial level, a /"gun" level - possibly professional assassins recruited from the ranks of Cuban exiles embittered over Kennedy's failure to supervene with military forces in the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasions and to invade the Red island during the 1962 missile crisis..." --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: (1:2621/l10)
