Part One - The Divine Skein at Dealey Plaza

Part One - The Divine Skein at Dealey Plaza

Former CIA director Allen Dulles brought a book with him to the first meeting of the Warren Commission.

"American Assassins" by Robert Donovan, portrayed most American political assassins as deranged lone nuts, as oppposed to the more rational and ideological European assassins.

Donovan had previously wrote "PT 109," about President Kennedy's World War II exploits in the South Pacific that was made into a major motion picture, and his book on American assassins was popular at the time.

But Warren Commissioner John McCloy took exception to Dulles' suggestion that American assassins were all lone nut cases, pointing out the fact that Lincoln was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy, and a number of people were hung for their roles.

If Dulles was more interested in the truth rather than promoting the false suggestion that JFK was a vicim of a deranged lone nut case, he would have passed around copies of his own then recently published book - "The Crafts of Intelligene," reportedly ghost written by Watergate burgler E. Howard Hunt.

In his own book, Dulles describes the means and methods used by intelligence networks, crafts that have been used for thousands of years, and as he explains, were described in one of the oldest books known to man - Sun Tzu's "The Art of War."

In a chapter of "The Art of War" Sun Tzu describes the roles of spys and secret agents, detailing the five types of agents - inside, native, living, double and expendalbe, each with a different role in the "skein," or net, network.

According to Sun Tzu, when all five types of agents are working in tantum together, they are "the treasure of the soverign," and known as "The Divine Skein," - the Divine Net, as what they acomplish appears to be divine intervention and an act of God.

Before JFK was killed a phamplet was distributed in the Cuban community of Florida that said that an "Act of God" would put a Texan in the White House, a Texan who was friends of the Cuban people.

And Max Holland, in his book "The Assassination Tapes," quotes LBJ as saying that the assassination of JFK was "divine," implying it was an act of God, and he was, as he was called - the "accidental" president.

The head of French Intelligence once said that the assassination of President Kennedy was like a magic trick, complete with smoke and mirrors, while the former head of the Natoinal Security Agency and Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) of the US Army, said that the best covert operators are like the movie "The Sting."

But the assassination of President Kennedy at Dealey Plaza was not an accident, not the act of a deranged loner nor a magic trick or an act of God, but rather was a very distinct and succesfully executed covert intelligence operation.

The idea of the intelligence network and the means and mechanisms of covert intelligence operations are now well known, though they weren't in 1963.

In fact such intelligence networks and covert operations are patterned on the Big Con = confidence games of the early 20th century as portrayed in the movie "The Sting.”

As Joseph Smith details in his book - “Portrait of a Cold Warrior,” part of his training as a CIA agent included taking classes with Professor Paul Linebarger at the Center for International Studies at Johns  Hopkins University. The classes on covert operational methods and techniques were taught at Linebarger’s home in Washington D.C.

Smith relates how Linebarger not only used his own classic text book “Psychological Warfare,” that delineates various levels of propaganda from white to black, but also had his students read David Maurer’s book “The Big Con,” also published as “The American Confidence Man,” that gave good insight into how case officers could run operatives and conduct successful covert operations.

David Maurer’s book, originally a linguistic text on the unique lingo of thieves, con artists and confidence men details the inner workings of the Big Con, and was the basis of the script for the movie “The Sting,” as referenced by the ACSI general.

Just as linguist David Maurer learned the secrets of the Big Con through the study of the lingo of the con artists, we can only learn the means and methods of the covert operators by learning the terminology they use in crafting their covert operations - the Lingo of Dealey Plaza.

Preface

PREFACE

As my friends and associates well know, I have been studying the assassination of President Kennedy for many years, and while the most frequnetly asked question I get from those who know this is "Who killed JFK?," I still can't answer that question.

While I am certain that the accused assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was not the killer, and I don't know the identieis of those responsible for what happened at Dealey Plaza, yet, I have, in the words of the great Hollywood detective Lieutenant Peter Faulk Columbo, - "I don't know who committed the murder, but I figured out how they did it."

I got the MO down - the Modus Operandi - was that of a covert intelligence operation - and once you view whatever you believe happened at Dealey Plaza was such an operation, it doesn't matter what Oswald's role was = lone gunman, patsy or co-conspirator.

Joshia Thompson, a first generation JFK researcher and long time San Francisco private detective in the Sam Spade tradition, and author of "Six Seconds in Dallas" and "Gumshoe," once said that every case he worked on always had a point where a piece of evidence fit the bill and made the case come unraveled and led to its resolution, - except the Kennedy assassination.

Well, I think that point is being reached, not only by me, but by other researchers and writers whose work is coming together, and the pices of the puzzle are falling into place so we have a good picture of what really happened at Dealey Plaza.

I was very disenchanted when I first realized that the crime was not only a comp[ex conspiracy but an even more unfathomable covert intelligence operation designed to deceive, because I knew it would take an even more powerful counter-intelligence operation to determine the truth and seek some sembalance of justice.

I knew the network responsible for getting away with the murder of a president was much more ponwerful than me or any group I could put together, so I considered the resolution of this crime an unatainable mission.

Now however, decades later, I can see it happening - the vision before reality.

The resolution of the assassination of President Kennedy - to a legal and moral certainty, is now attainable for three reasons - 1) the Power of the Internet gives us a network of our own and makes all knowable knowledge available to us: 2) The JFK Act of 1992 - as it is still in force, legaly gives us access to all of the necessary recods and evidence in the case; 3) the commitment and perserverence of a small number of very knowledgeable and dedicated independent researchers who are working on this case. Those three things together weild the power to overcome the intelligence network responsible for the Dealey Plaza operation.

We have the internet network, we have the JFK Act law behind us and we have a dedicated group of individuals who, if they work as a team, can identify, expose and take down the network that was resonsible for what happened at Dealey Plaza that day.

As I have learned there two types of investigations - criminal investigations - the kind the police and FBI routinely conduct, looks for witnesses and evidence that can be introduced into a court of law in a criminal case, while an intelligence or counter-intelligence (CI) investigation need not abide by the laws of the court or what can and cannot be introduced as evidence, and can do whatever it can to determine the truth.

In most CI cases there is no trail - becuase top secret means and methods have been used to catch the culpret, and that includes B&E or "black bag" jobs - breaking and entering opertons ala Watergate, something the FBI does all the time.

Just as Bill Simp;ich recognized that what happened at Dealey Plaza was a covert intelligence operation, and we must look at it as siuch, regardless of the role of the accused assassin, Russ Baker says that his group of Baker Street Irregulars are conducting a Counter-Intelligence operaion, and that's how we must perceive the unraveling of the truth of what happened in Dallas that day.

They - the Opposition, conduct such CI operations all the time, sometimes against us.

The Dealey Plaza Clean-up crew reveal themselves sometimes - as they had infilrated and compromized every major investigation criminal or otherwise, into their operations, including the Dallas Police Department (via ACSI consolidaiton of Special Services), Secret Service, the FBI, the Dallas Grand Jury, the New Orleans Grand Jury, and the New Orleans District Attorney's office (recently released records show that one of the infiltrators agent-provokateurs was sent to Canada in the Witness Protection Program).

The New Orleans Grand Jury foreman was an informant, and while I don't know of the Church Committee investigation, I'm sure if you look at their internal office records you will find some suspicious persons, but the clincher is the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) where former CIA officer George Joannides was called on to handle and compromise that investigation, and did so admirably.

So in a sense, as we consolidate our research and knowledge of the case, and prepare legal maneuvers, we won't have to go to them, eventually they will come to us.

Richard A. Jacobs 181-10002-10245

When I saw the name on the subject of this record I thought it referred to Richard Jacobs, the State Department officer who was arrested in Moscow while picking up a dead drop for a double agent - I think it was Penkovsky.

As mentioned in "The Invisible Government" by Thomas Ross and David Wise, Jacobs was a former neighbor of mine - from Egg Habor, N.J. but this document refers to another Richard Jacob - the Deputy Assistant Archivist for Presidential Libraries.

This is a common problem, where there are more than one person with the same name, a problem, exemplified by the example of Richard Sprague, Esq., the first chief counsel to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA), whose congressional records are now in his Philadelphia law office because the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) confused him with Richard Sprague, the commputer tech assassintation researcher whose extensive records collection is included in the JFK Collection at the National Archives.

There are numerous other examples of this same name confusion, that I will elaborate on ASAP.

Coup d'etat at Dealey Plaza

Coup d'etat at Dealey Plaza

They say there's no "smoking gun" documents among ths still secret government records on the assassinatoin of President Kennedy, though a number of smoking documents have been released under the JFK Act - the Higgins Memo for one.

In the seaach for a reasonable scenario to explain everything that happened on November 22, 1963, the deranged lone nut case can be dismissied since it can't explain how one man Lee Harvey Oswald was capable of committing the act alone, and the evidence and witness testimony confirm that Oswald was not on the sixth floor at the time of the shooting.

The original Phase One Covver Story - that Castro Cuban Communists were behind the Dealey Plaza operation is also dismissed, based on the evidence, witnesses reports and the National Security Agency (NSA) intercept of Cuban and Soviet communications.

That this psychological warfare operation - a black propaganda operation is still in effect indicates that the intelligence network responsible for the Dealey Plaza operation is still finctioning, as exhibited by the works of Brien Letell, Robert Baer and Phil Shenon.

Other scenarios have been suggested - that the assassination was a plot by renegade CIA officers and the Mafia, which is still proposed by some - ie. G. Robert Blakey, Gary Cornwell, et al., though that too has its problems.

Michael Paine's mother - Ruth Forbes Paine Young was involved in extablishing a special training unit at the United Nations that placed young diplomats in various scenariois they could face in real life, and the US military trains its soldiers in field sccenarios to see how they will act and train them to do it correctly, or at least do it the way the generals want them to do it.

During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Attorney General Robert Kennedy asked Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara to come up with a solution that wouldn't lead to invasion or war, and McNamara said that when they ran military scanarios of Soviet missles in Cuba months earlier, the solultion that worked was summarized in one word: Blocade. Which worked, much to the dismay of the military brass who pushed for invasion.

As I occassioinally help train soldiers, I know for a fact that they still use a Sand Table to plan missions. I watched an Op Force - Opposition Force team lean over an elevated Sand Table box with their team leader drawing a curve in the road and pointing to the apex as the place to attack as convoy slowed down. I'm sure those who planned out the Dealey Plaza opertion used even more complex models, practices and "dry runs" and controlled the situation completely, timed it to the second, as they only had a one hour window of opportunity.

There have been various phrases, matrix models and games used to try to explain what happened at Dealey Plaza - "a mystery wrapped in an enigma," saying its like "going into the Rabbit's Hole," ala Alice and "Through the Looking Glass," (Shenon), or a "Wilderness of Mirrors" (Angleton), whose criptic - "A house has many rooms. I am not privy to who shot John,” still rings cryptically.

The French Intelligence chief said it was "like a magic trick, complete with smoke, mirrors and disaperaing sets," while the former Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI) US Army, and NSA, said it was "Like the movie the Sting.”
A Big Con job.

The Chess model is also popular, as some of the primary suspects called themselves "Bishop" (David Phillips) and "Knight" (E. Howard Hunt), and it is a peculiar anaomaly that a simple pawn like Oswald could take out a King, not only get him in checkmate so he can't make a move, but actually getting close enough to kill the King, blindsiding him. That's another good reason Oswald didn't commit the deed alone.

The anomally grows when considering the fact that if the president was killed by a deranged lone nut case, then the assassin would be posthumously subjected to deep psychological analysis - and that he would be classified as a paranoid skodso, or whatever, but he's not. Oswald was not crazy, even though the Secret Service study of assassins and attackers put him in that category.

When I read that report I looked for a unique category and when they didn't inlude it, being from New Jersey where we have developed criminal profiling into an art, I made one up - the Covert Operational Personality Profile (COPP), that is characterized by military training (usually USMC), fluency in foreign language, ability to travel,. and training and use of covert intelligence crafts and techniaues - including codes, ciphers and operational procedures.

While Oswald creates the mold for this matrix, it also includes some other well known COPP operatives - Jerry Patrick Hemming, Frank Sturgis, the Watergate burglers, Felix Rodregiez, the Oklahoma City bombers, as examples of the pawns in what they call "The Great Game" of covert intelligence opertions.

Without having really looked yet, most say there is no "smoking gun" in the still secret JFK assassination files, yet, if the assassintion at Dealey Plaza was not the work of a deranged loner, but was in fact a well planned and sucessfully executed coup detat, the evidence MUST be in the government filies - you just have to know where to look.

For starters, if it was a coup, an inside job - then they had to it by the book - the handbook - Edward Lutwack's "Coup d'etat - A Practical Handbook," (X), that explains exactly how to do it.

One of the key elements of any successful coup, according to Lutwack, is control of the communications - and if you look closely at who was controlling the communications into and out of Dealey Plaza and Air Force One you get a good idea who was running things.

In addition, a study of previous, simlair assassinations and coups would be a necessity, especially those involving the same MO - Modus Operandi - that of a sniper shooting a high priority target (HPT) moving in an open vehicle as the Nazi general was during World War II, the 1962 attack on President deGaul in France, and the CIA plans to attack Castro when he rode by in an open jeep.

Of course if they practiced covert operational techniques, then they would not have anything written down, operated on a need to know basis, and utilzed lines of authority that included "cut-outs" and case officers.

If it was a coup, as I suspect, then the evidence is in government files, and they won't be caughing it up despite the JFK Act ordered them to.

But the evidence is there, I know it.
