JFK Assassination ‘Confession’ – NY Post Jan. 6, 2009

'YEAH, I HAD the son of a bitch killed. I'm glad I did. I'm sorry I couldn't have done it myself!"
These were the words of Carlos Marcello, the Mafia godfather
of Louisiana and Texas .
And he was talking about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Marcello's startling admission is in uncensored FBI files at
the National Archives, detailed for the first time in a new encyclopedic book
"Legacy of Secrecy." I have been referring to this work off and on
for years while the author, Lamar Waldron, completed his investigation into
the murders of John and Robert Kennedy and also into the death of Dr. Martin
Luther King.
Waldron's 848-page tome was published in November. It caps
20 years of research that began in 1988 when he didn't know that Marcello had
confessed to JFK's murder back in 1985. The FBI kept this fact a secret for
more than two decades while "conspiracy theorists" ranged all over
the place. And . . . the Warren Commission released its fairy-tale version of
the death of JFK at the hands of a lone assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald.
IN 1963, only weeks after JFK was killed, the FBI questioned
14 Marcello mob associates. Yet the godfather's name doesn't even appear in the
Warren Report. This secrecy, it seems, was all because of Cuba .
(And that info is contained in Waldron's first incredible book, "Ultimate
Sacrifice.")
In their massive war against the Mafia, President Kennedy
and his brother Attorney General Robert Kennedy were never able to convict any
members of the Marcello crime family. And Marcello didn't make his admission of
guilt until he was serving a long prison sentence as a result of an FBI sting
called BRILAB. The FBI also carried on a sting against Marcello with the code
name CAMTEX.
The FBI groomed an informant who became Carlos Marcello's
cellmate. These tapes have never been released but they reveal the godfather
standing in the prison yard, flying into a rage and cussing the Kennedys.
Marcello confessed that he'd also met Lee Harvey Oswald and
brought him into the plot via that Louisiana
character David Ferrie, a person notably played by actor Joe Pesci in
Oliver Stone's conspiracy movie "JFK." Marcello also admitted that it
was he who had set up Jack Ruby "in the bar business in Dallas ."
(As we know, Ruby did his bit for the Marcello plot when he killed Lee Harvey
Oswald before he could implicate anyone else.)
There is now massive evidence, compiled by the House Select
Committee on Assassinations, which concluded in 1979 that Marcello "had
the motive, means and opportunity to have the president assassinated."
YOU MAY WONDER why the
FBI and CIA withheld information from the
committee.
By the time of JFK's murder, dozens of Marcello associates
had infiltrated a CIA operation code-named
AMWORLD, a project started by JFK himself. Writer Waldron revealed this back in
2005. This was the CIA 's top-secret plan to
cooperate with Cuba 's
army commander, Juan Almeida, to stage a coup against Fidel
Castro on Dec. 1, 1963 .
That was 10 days after JFK's trip to Dallas .
(The CIA and the Joint
Chiefs of Staff even referred to the World War II plot to kill Hitler as their
role model for getting rid of Castro. You can see that story told by Tom
Cruise in the new movie ‘Valkyrie.’).
AMWORLD files show that these conspirators wanted to shoot
Castro while he was riding in an open jeep. Marcello's men used that idea to
kill JFK in an open car in Dallas .
They then planted phony evidence implicating Castro.
After Dallas ,
powers that be, confused and disoriented, felt that exposing all they really
knew about JFK's assassination might well trigger a third world war, as it was
only a year after we had escaped nuclear devastation in the Cuban Missile
Crisis.
Commander Almeida is still high in command in Cuba
although he was under house arrest in the early '90s. Today, he is the No. 3
official in Cuba .
Yet shortly after JFK's death, Castro had Che Guevara put under house arrest on
suspicion of being the coup leader against him. This triggered a series of
events that would eventually lead to the iconic revolutionary leader's death in
Bolivia . (You
can see that story in the Steven Soderbergh movie "Che."
The title role is notably played by actor Benicio Del Toro.)
NOBODY SEEMS ever to have completely solved the Mafia-type
hit murders leveled at Chicago mob
boss Sam Giancana and the popular mob lieutenant Johnny Rosselli. But this
indicates to me that these mobsters, who were involved in JFK's plot to get rid
of Castro, were rubbed out by Marcello associates simply because they seemed to
be helping the Kennedys.
The 50th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution was Jan. 1.
Commander Almeida again seems to escape Castro's revenge and he is believed
able even yet to play a role in resolving the impasse between the US
and Cuba .
