VALKYRIE AT DEALEY
PLAZA
THE CUBAN CONNECTIONS AND THE
PLOTS TO KILL CASTRO
Those who take up a study the assassination of President
Kennedy quickly notice that there are many Cuban connections to the murder and
most independent researchers eventually recognize that the Cuban angles are the
key to understanding the crime.
While Cuba Dealey Plaza
The Warren Commission’s ignorance of the plots to kill
Castro is often sited as the single most important reason behind the
Commission’s failure to determine what really happened at Dealey
Plaza
“We now know to a fairly good degree of certitude what
happened,” says former FBI agent Bill Turner. “First of all the motives were
piling up – JFK had supposedly withdrawn air cover during the Bay of
Pigs , failed to invade Cuba Vietnam Cuba CIA and the
web of Cuban exiles and the Mafia. They already had an assassination
apparatus set up for killing Castro, and they just switched targets, and they
killed Kenned instead.” 2.
Turner’s take – that the mechanism for the assassination of
JFK was the same apparatus set up for killing Castro is supported by others,
including David Atlee Phillips, who is quoted as stating that, “I was one of
the two case officers who handled Lee Harvey Oswald…we gave him the mission of
killing Fidel Castro of Cuba…I don’t know why he killed Kennedy. But I do know
he used precisely the plan we had devised against Castro. Thus the CIA did
not anticipate the president’s assassination, but it was responsible for it. I
share that guilt.” 3.
Of the over six hundred documented plots to kill Castro, the
ones that are most discussed are the CIA -Mafia
plots that began during the Eisenhower administration and were ostensibly
terminated in 1962. 4.
Of the many plots to kill Castro, a half dozen or so had
direct connections to Dealey
Plaza July 20, 1944 attempt
to kill Hitler and was adapted by the CIA for
use against Castro in Cuba Dealey Plaza
THE VALKYRIE PLOT AT DEALEY PLAZA
Volkmar Schmidt was the first to bring up the subject of the
Schmidt said that while growing up in Germany
Schmidt explained that it was a reverse psychology technique
taught to him by Professor Kuetmeyer that he used on Oswald during a three hour
conversation in which he also mentioned the plot to kill Hitler.

Oswald?

But I exonerate myself completely because I had the best intent, embarrass Kennedy, and I certainly didn’t tell him to take a pot shot at him...I may have triggered it. Actually, a few days after I talked with him, he bought his weapons.
As for the association to those in the plot to kill Hitler, Schmidt mentions Professor Kuetemeyer, who "…was certainly, and many of his friends were in the circle of those who tried to kill Hitler, - Stauffenberg, and several of his close friends were executed, and one of the sons of his friends, lived at his house and became and is still a very close friend of mine - Fritz from Holland.

A few years ago I wrote an article about how some of those
individuals involved in this plot to kill Hitler were also entwined with the
events at Dealey Plaza, [July 20, 1944 - November 22, 1963] in which I detail
the associations between five people who were entwined in both plots – Schmidt,
Kuetmeyer, Allen Dulles, Mary Bancroft and Hans Bernd Gisevius. 7.

Among those involved in the plot to kill Hitler was one Dr. Hans Bernd Gisevius, a Gestapo officer who tried to get the
We know this from Mary Bancroft, the stepdaughter of the founding publisher of the Wall Street Journal, who was Allen Dulles’ agent and mistress at the time, and served as an intermediary between Dulles and Gisevius.
As related in her book “Autobiography of a Spy,” Mary Bancroft was also a close
personal friend of Michael Paine’s mother Ruth Forbes Paine Young. Their
friendship dated from the late 1920s when Ruth Forbes Paine was married
to New York U.S. Massachusetts
[For excerpts of Bancroft’s book: JFKCountercoup2:
Mary Bancroft "Autobiography of a Spy" ]
Bancroft and Ruth Forbes Paine were traveling overseas
together on an ocean liner when Bancroft met her future husband, a Zurich Switzerland
After a number of failed attempts, on July 20, 1944 , Col. Claus Schenk Grav
von Stauffenberg planted a briefcase bomb under the map table next to Hitler,
left the bunker, witnessed the explosion and then flew back to Berlin
Since Hitler survived the explosion and the plot failed,
hundreds, some say over a thousand Germans were rounded up and executed, or
were given the opportunity to commit suicide, as Field Marshall Erwin Rommel
did. For those who say that hundreds of people can’t conspire to keep a secret,
the Valkyrie Plot is a good example of a complex conspiracy, a covert operation
that almost succeeded, but in failing, led to the execution of many people.
If JFK had not been killed with the fatal head shot, and had
survived, a similar investigation, led by his brother, would have quickly
uncovered the fact that the alleged weapon was owned by Oswald, who had spent
the previous night at the home of Michael Paine, whose mother was best-friends
with Allen Dulles’ chief agent in the Valkyrie Plot to kill Hitler. But with
Dulles on the Warren Commission, the CIA
plots to kill Castro as well as the Paine’s relationship with Mary Bancroft
were kept from the Commission.
Chief among Bancroft’s chores for Dulles was to serve as
liaison to Hans B. Gisevius, a major player in the Valkyrie Plot.
Unlike the other victims of the failed assassination
attempt, Gisevius survived, spending weeks in hiding until he received the
identify documents sent to him by Dulles and Bancroft that allowed him to
escape to Switzerland Nuremberg CIA retainer
arranged by Dulles, Gisevius came to America CIA ’s
International Organizations Division. 9.
When Gisevius came to America he moved in with the CIA ’s
Tom Braden, while Oswald, upon returning home from the Soviet Union with his
Russian wife, fell in with George DeMohrenschildt and a tight-knit community of
anti-Communist White Russians, and the Oswald family eventually moved in with
the Paines.
Oswald met Volkmar Schmidt at the same February 1963 party set up specifically for the Oswalds to meet the Paines. At the party Schmidt gave Oswald a three hour history lesson, applying the Hitler assassination analogy to General Walker, while Oswald’s wife would meet Ruth Paine, Michael’s wife, who would become the Oswald family's chief benefactor. 10.

Just think, Schmidt asked Oswald, how history would have
changed if Hitler had been assassinated?
It seems the CIA was
thinking exactly the same thing at the same time – as reported in an important
memo written by Col. Walter Higgins, which details what occurred at a meeting
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September
25, 1963 . 11.
That was the day President Kennedy left on his Conservation
Tour, Oswald left New Orleans Mexico
City Irving , Texas
THE HIGGINS MEMO – CIA BRIEFING
OF JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
At a September
25, 1963 Pentagon meeting chaired by Air Force General Curtis
LeMay, Desmond FitzGerald, the officer in charge of the CIA ’s
Cuban desk, briefed the Joint Chiefs of Staff on the CIA ’s
Cuban operations, including one patterned on the Valkyrie Plot.
But the convoluted way in which we come to know about the
Joint Chief’s briefing is a lesson in itself. It was gossip columnist Liz Smith
who first called attention to it indirectly because of the Tom Cruise movie “Valkyrie.”
Around the same time the 2008 Valkyrie movie came out, Lamar
Waldron and Thom Hartman published a book “Legacy of Secrecy,” a follow-up on their previous
book “Ultimate Sacrifice,” which surmises that the Mafia hijacked one of
the CIA plots to kill Castro to
assassinate Kennedy. 12.
In one of a number of columns Liz Smith devoted to promoting
Waldron’s work, the New York Post columnist mentioned the plots to kill Castro.
She said one was specifically designated by the CIA
to get some disenchanted Cuban military officers to stage a coup, which would
prompt the US
In her column Liz Smith gave Waldron's “Legacy of Secrecy” a thumbs up when
she wrote, "You may wonder why the FBI and CIA withheld
information from the committee. By the time of JFK's murder, dozens of (Carlos)
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 Dec. 1, 1963 . That was 10 days after
JFK's trip to Dallas
The books by Hartman and Waldron, while important in some
respects, wrongfully blame the Mafia for killing Kennedy by hijacking the CIA plot
to kill Castro, and names Juan Almeida as the leader of the coup, while
documents released under the JFK Act clearly show that on the December 1 date
in question, Almeida was on a flight to Africa and not in position to lead a
coup against Castro. 14.
Smith then wrote: “(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’).”
I had already pointed out the similarities of common
characters at both the Wolf’s Lair and Dealey Plaza 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.”
Since I have both the first edition hardbound and second,
expanded softbound versions of Waldron and Hartman’s “Ultimate Sacrifice” and their follow up “Legacy of Secrecy,” which Liz Smith was
ostensibly writing about, I carefully searched all three volumes without
finding any references to Hitler or the Valkyrie Plot.
I did, however, locate the relevant passage that Liz Smith
referred to in another book – Gus Russo’s “Brothers In Arms,” which continues to promote the original
cover story of the Dealey Plaza
The reference to the official documentation on this point is
buried in a footnote that is referenced from the following paragraph (p. 294):
“….Joseph Califano, of the Pentagon’s Cuban Coordinating
Committee, was being pressed by Des Fitzgerald for all the Defense Department
intel he could get on key Cuban military officers, scoping for a “mole’ within
the regime. Fitzgerald was about to brief the Joint Chiefs and, although
Califano was excluded from the meeting on September 25, Des and the Agency
were, according to memos later released, studying how German generals had
plotted to kill Hitler in order to develop a way to organize high-ranking Cuban
officers to kill Castro.”
“At the meeting that day, Des announced that they were having
‘great success’ in finding such officers, and ‘that there were at least ten
high-ranking military personnel who were talking to the CIA
but as yet [were] not talking to each other, since that degree of confidence
[had not] yet developed.”
Thanks to Russo’s footnote, I was able to track down the
Higgins Memo in the Mary Ferrell archives and found it to be as close to a
smoking document as I have yet seen. While the entire memo is extremely
important for more than one reason, and deserves a more thorough and separate
analysis, the reference to the plot to kill Hitler is telling.
In his memo, under bullet point 13, Colonel Higgins wrote:
“13. He [FitzGerald] commented that there was nothing new in the propaganda
field. However, he felt that there had been great success in getting closer to
the military personnel who might break with Castro, and stated that there were
at least ten high-level military personnel who are talking with CIA but
as yet are not talking to each other, since that degree of confidence has not
yet developed. He considers it as a parallel in history; i.e., the plot
to kill Hitler; and this plot is being studied in detail to develop an
approach.” 16.
If the Valkyrie Plot was seriously being studied in detail
in 1963 in order to develop a similar “approach” to be used against Castro,
the CIA didn’t have to go very far
to find some experts who knew about the Valkyrie Plot, as Allen Dulles, Mary
Bancroft and Hans Bernard Gisevious were all readily available to advise them.
Although they were all alive at the time, today we are left only with written
reports and documents, some of which were used in the making of the Tom Cruise
movie “Valkyrie,” which made an attempt to be historically accurate.
VALKYRIE – THE MOVIE & THE PLOT
The movie Valkyrie was not a box office sensation but it was
financially successful, it was in the popular mainstream, and it called
attention to the German heroes behind the plot, although in Germany Tom Cruise’s
Scientology background made it quite controversial.
The movie also garnered favorable reviews, including one by
Phil Villarreal, who noted that "There is a certain satisfaction in
watching the plot come together. Amazingly it was actually Hitler who signed
off on his own potential death warrant by authorizing changes in a contingency
plan that set reserve troops into action to suppress a government takeover. Von
Stauffenberg and his confederates wanted to use the troops to stifle the SS
after Hitler's death." 17.
A generic description of the movie says: “Valkyrie is a
2008 American historical thriller film set in Nazi
Germany during World War II. The film depicts the 20 July
plot in 1944 by German army officers to assassinate Adolph
Hitler and to use the Operation Valkyrie national emergency plan to
take control of the country.” It also notes that, “Stauffenberg is stunned
to learn that no plans exist on the subject of what is to be done after
Hitler's assassination…(He) gets the idea of using Operation Valkyrie,
which involves the deployment of the Reserve Army to maintain order in the
event of a national emergency. The plotters carefully redraft the plan's orders
so that they can dismantle the Nazi regime after assassinating Hitler. …with
the rewritten Operation Valkyrie orders signed by Hitler…” 18.
The word “valkyrie” stems from old Norse mythology, and is
composed of two words, the noun valr, meaning to be slain on the battlefield,
and the verb kjosa, meaning “to chose,” and refers to female Norse god
Valkyrja – the “chooser of the slain,” who decides who dies and wins in battle.
19.
The original Valkyrie plan was designed to deal with
internal disturbances in emergency situations, was written by
General Friedrich Olbricht, in his capacity as head of General Army
Office, and was approved by Hitler. 20.
In The Secret War
Against Hitler, William Casey wrote:
“….Inside
Indeed, besides some of the same characters being involved in both Valkyrie and Dealey Plaza, specific attributes of the Valkyrie plan can be seen to have been adapted and configured into the Dealey Plaza operation, including having the intended victim actually approve the covert operations that would be used against him (The Rex missions) as well as a Northwoods-style false flag variation to blame the assassination on the others (Oswald and Castro).
During World War II the German conspirators convinced Hitler to alter the contingency plans for a national emergency, what we now know as the Continuity of Government (
Kennedy too, was convinced to approve certain special emergency and contingency plans as well as specific covert actions against
In The Making of
the President 1964, T.H. White noted that, “Of all the things Kennedy did
for Johnson, none, however, was perhaps more instantly important on the weekend
of Nov. 22 than a minor decision Kennedy made months before. He had decided
that, in the secret and emergency planning for continuity of American
government in the happenstance of a nuclear attack, Johnson should be given a
major role. Through Major General Chester V. Clifton, who acted as White House
liaison with the Department of Defense, all emergency operational planning was
made available to the Vice President in duplicate. These plans, envisioning all
things – from the destruction of all major cities to the bodily transfer of
governing officers to an underground capital – included, of course, detailed
forethought of the event of the sudden death of a President.” 21.
“Because he had participated in all these plans,” wrote White, “…the Vice President; on the night of
But according to Jim Bishop, in The Day Kennedy Was Shot, "Officials at the Pentagon
were calling the White House (WHCA) switchboard at the Dallas-Sheraton Hotel
asking who was now in command. An Officer grabbed the phone and assured the
Pentagon that Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and the Joint Chief of Staff
' are now the President.” 22.
While everyone knows that the Constitutional lines of
authority descend from the President to the Vice President, according to the
National Command Authority (NCA), the ability to order the military to
undertake a nuclear attack goes from the President to the Secretary of Defense,
and then to the Deputy Secretary of Defense (then Roswell Gilpatrick).
It has been noted that, “In the wake of the Berlin crisis,
White House and national security staff reviewed emergency planning procedures
that had been established during the Eisenhower administration. As part of the
single integrated operation plan (SIOP) that would be used by the U.S.
If the President is unable to employ his authority to order
the use of nuclear weapons, the National Command Authority does not follow the
Constitution’s line of succession, but the release authority passes from a
disabled or dead President to the Secretary of Defense, and then, if necessary,
to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
While the NCA only controlled the use of nuclear weapons,
part of the Dealey Plaza Cuba Dallas

asset Joe Goulden that he was going to charge Oswald with “furthering a
communist conspiracy” and Dallas PD officer Stringfellow, a member of the local

Of the ten Cuban officers mentioned by FitzGerald in the
Higgins memo, a few have been identified, including Juan Almedia, the primary
suspect in “Ultimate Sacrifice,” as well as the well documented case of Rolando
Cubella (AMLASH) and Raymon Guin Diaz (AMTRUNK), who the Cubans identified.
In his book, “Executive
Action – 634 Ways to Kill Fidel Castro,” Cuban G2 counter-intelligence
officer Fabian Escalante wrote, “While Cubela was in Brazil WAVE was executing
an important operation in Cuba CIA believed
it could hook. Among them was ex-commander Ramon Guin Diaz, one of Cubela’s
closest friends, who would subsequently be an active participant in the CIA plans
to assassinate the Cuban prime minister…The plan had two parts: the first, the
assassination of Fidel, and the second, a coup d’etat instigated by Cubela’s
collaborators, backed by a US mini-invasion conducted with a brigade of Cuban
mercenaries who were training in Nicaragua under the command of Manuel Artime…”
25.
Just as Nazi Gen. Fromm, commander of the Home Army sat on
the fence during the July 20, 1944 assassination attempt, then came down on the
conspirators once it was determined that Hitler was still alive, LBJ took the
oath of office immediately in order to circumvent the attempt to pass on the
National Command Authority to the Secretary of Defense. And as soon as LBJ was
informed of the intention of the Dallas authorities to charge Oswald with
“furthering a communist conspiracy,” he had his close aide Cliff Carter call
Dallas and put an end the talk of conspiracy “because it could lead to World
War III .” This was the “Tipping Point,”
when the “Phase One” Castro Commie cover story was replaced with the equally
implausible “Phase Two” deranged lone nut scenario.
THE HOMME REPORT
At the time of the Garrison investigation of the
assassination inNew Orleans U.S.
The report reads in part: "According to Edward SUGGS,
aka Jack MARTIN (not a reliable source) [Guy] JOHNSON claimed to have a secret
US Senate document called the ‘Homme Report.’ This report allegedly proves that
Robert KENNEDY ‘had a contract out’ on Fidel CASTRO at the time President
Kennedy was assassinated...." 26.
Guy P. Johnson has been identified as a former assistant
district attorney in New Orleans
In an article in the Houstonian and in an
affidavit, Jack Martin and David Lewis, another New
Orleans
In Counter-Intelligence Aspects of the JFK Assassination,
Mike Sylwester wrote:
“Another explanation was proposed by two of Banister’s
long-time employees, Jack Martin and David Lewis, in an affidavit they wrote
for New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison, dated 20 February 1968 . Martin and Lewis said they
believed Banister was …had conspired with other high ranking traitors to alter
the index so that in case of crisis, the wrong people would be arrested….They
also implied that Banister was collaborating with Robert Kennedy, but
would double-cross him to bring the fateful crisis about. Specifically,
Banister was collaborating with Robert Kennedy to assassinate Fidel Castro,
which would boomerang into an assassination of President Kennedy….” 28.
Martin and Lewis also tie the assassination to the
re-organization of the civil defense response, which, along with the
attempt to implicate RFK in the Castro plots, ties it directly to the Valkyrie
plan. They refer to the “National Emergency Reoganization Plan,” which
they call “a piece of existing standby legislation already written into and
passed in Federal Statute, whereby they could invoke an immediate and
instantaneous dictatorship over the United States at the stroke of a pen on any
given or so-called emergency…” 29.
BLACKBALLING ROBERT F. KENNEDY
Another important aspect of the Dealey Plaza operation, also
taken from the Valkyrie Plot, was the neutralization of the key elements most
likely to oppose the assassination – the SS in the case of the July
20th 1944 Plot and Robert F. Kennedy in regards to Dealey Plaza.
Helmet Streikher, on CIA assignment
in Africa , Middle East (1961-1965)
acknowledged that, "One of the worst kept secrets in the CIAis the
truth about the President's murder. It wasn't Castro or the Russians. The men
who killed Mr. Kennedy were CIA contract
agents. It had to happen. The man was too independent for his own good. John
Kennedy's murder was a two-part conspiracy murder. One was the action end with
the killers; the other was the deeper part, the acceptance and protection of
that murder by the Intelligence apparatus that controls the way the world
operates." 30.
The second part of the assassination was the protection of
those actually responsible. The
Official Dictionary of Military and Associated Terms defines
a Covert Operation as “An operation that is so planned and executed as to
conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor.” It is also
noted that “a covert operation differs from a clandestine operation in that
emphasis is placed on concealment of identity of sponsor rather than on
concealment of the operation.” 31.
In the assassination of President Kennedy we find that
covert anti-Castro Cuban operations, approved by JFK, and intentionally exposed
to RFK, were utilized in the assassination of President Kennedy, thus
blackballing RFK from retaliation after the death of JFK.
First the President was asked, in the spring of 1963, to
authorize certain CIA cover
operations against Cuba Florida Cuba CIA mother ship “Rex.”
On April 1,
1963 - April Fools Day, those responsible for covert
operations against Cuba Cuba Florida Dallas
While the Cubans were being trained in Florida CIA officers and
anti-Castro Cuban commandos who were to undertake these missions. It has been
documented that RFK visited the JMWAVE Headquarters on a number of occasions,
visits that stand out because of his altercations with William Harvey. Harvey
David Talbot, in his book Brothers, says that,
“The CIA tried to frame Robert
Kennedy for the Cubela (AMLASH) plot,” which was tied directly to the Valkyrie
plan. Talbot notes that FitzGerald introduced himself to Cubela as a “personal
representative of Kennedy’s. But the president’s brother had no idea the CIA was
using his name. Helms and Fitzgerald agreed it would be ‘totally unnecessary’
to inform Kennedy of their gambit.” Their gambit was the Valkyrie plot. 34.
US Army Ranger Capt. Bradley Ayers, assigned to the CIA to
train the Cubans, recalls two occasions RFK met with the CIA case
officers in Florida, once at a station party held at a safe house and another
at the Waloos Glades Hunting Camp staging area, where he was personally
introduced to some of the commandos who were to execute the covert
missions. 35.
According to Ayers, one of the CIA case
officers at JMWAVE, a German who went by the name of “Karl,” bore a remarkable
resemblance to Oswald, and one of the Cubans, Angelo Murgado, claims to have
even mentioned Oswald and his FPCC activities to RFK before the assassination.
Then in the immediate aftermath of the assassination, Robert
Kennedy suspected the CIA and the
Cubans, asking both CIAdirector John McCone and his Cuban friend Enrique
“Harry” Ruiz Williams if their people were responsible for his brother’s
murder.
Jack Anderson wrote: “Sources would later tell me that
McCone anguished with Bobby over the terrible possibility that the
assassination plots sanctioned by the president's own brother may have
backfired.” RFK told Walter Sheridan: “I asked McCone if they had killed
my brother, and I asked him in a way that he couldn’t lie to me.”
RFK phoned Enrique Ruiz-Williams, his main contact in the Cuban group involved in the plot to kill Castro. According to Haynes Johnson, an American journalist working closely with the anti-Castro Cubans RFK said: “One of your guys did it.” 36.

SUMAMARY AND CONCLUSION
It is apparent that the assassination of President Kennedy
was an offshoot of the CIA plans
to kill Cuban Primer Fidel Castro, specifically the Valkyrie Plot based on
the July 20, 1944assassination attempt on Hitler.
There are four key elements of the Valkyrie Plot to kill
Hitler that we see used in the Dealey Plaza Operation, including the
integration of the national emergency plans, getting the victim to approve
certain special operations that would be used against him, the adopting of a
false flag-Northwoods style deception to blame the murder on Cuban Communists,
and the neutralization of the opposition.
The Valkyrie Plot included the revising of the national
emergency response, the president’s approval of the Cuban covert operations
that would be used against him, the Northwoods-style false flag deception to
blame the murder on Castro and the blackballing of the most serious potential
resistance – RFK. Despite the complexity of the plan, it fits like a
glove over what happened at Dealey Plaza
It is also quite apparent that while the plot remained the
same as what was planned for Castro, the switch in targets from Castro to
Kennedy did not occur on the street level in Florida or at Dealey Plaza, but at
the highest levels of government in Washington, where the specific covert
operations and emergency contingency plans were approved months earlier.
That the assassination of the President remains a mysterious
enigma fifty years later can be directly attributed to the fact that it was
planned that way, a detailed and complex plan based on the Valkyrie plot to
kill Hitler, a plan that was not perfect, or carried out in its entirety, but
it was a plan that succeeded in killing Kennedy and protecting those actually
responsible for the crime.
