CONTROL
OF COMMUNICATIONS - First Draft
If one
of our primary hypothesis is true- and the assassination was not the work of a
deranged lone gunman but rather a very detailed plot, plan and coup d’etat –
then those responsible for the killing of the President did so by the book –
Coup d’etat A Practical Handbook – by Edward Lutwak, in which control of the
communications is a requirement for a successful coup.
If that
is true, and those responsible for the assassination controlled the
communications, we can identify them by determining who controlled the
communications and how they did it. Sort of working the evidence backwards, as
we know a lot more now than anyone did then.
Control of Communications is one of the five aspects of the German military's Valkyrie Plot to kill Hitler that appears to have been adapted for use against Castro that was redirected to JFK in Dallas. The Communications are a key element in any covert intelligence operation, and would have to have been included in any serious operation aimed at killing the president.
For
starters, we know most of the early information about the assassinations came
across radios – first the radios in the motorcade, then commercial public radio
stations – and they were limited.
The
Known Base Stations were:
The
Dallas Police had two active channels – One and Two – both recorded by
dictabelts, which are the basis of the House Select Committee on Assassinations
(HSCA) acoustical study which concluded there are four shots on the tape. All
Dallas PD cars and motorcycles had radios tuned to these two channels.
White
House Communications Agency (WHCA) also manned a makeshift base station in a
suite of rooms at the Dallas Sheraton Hotel, where the Secret Service and WHCA –
as well as George Herbert Walker Bush were registered.
It is
also the locaton of the lobby where David Atlee Phillips met with Antonio
Veciana and Lee Harvey Oswald in September 1963.
This
base station was for “Charlie” Channel, the motorcade’s primary channel used by
the secuirty team and monitored by Captain Swindell, who sat in the pilot’s
seat of Air Force One and listened in.
In the
motorcade there were radios tuned to Charlie Channel in the pilot car, the lead
car, the Lincoln Limo the President was in and the car LBJ was in a few cars
back. Other cars in the motorcade may also have radios.
There
were two other sideband radios on Air Force One – but they were not used and
the automatic recording device did not kick in until the plane was in the air.
The Air
Force One radios were associated with the Mystic Star network – run by the WHCA
– which utilized an AT&T switchboard known as “Waldorf,” and had relay stations
in Brandywine and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the headquarters of Collins Radio – makers
of the radios and contractors for their use. The relay staton in Cedar Rapids
was known as “Liberty” and can be heard often on the extant AF1 radio tapes.
Others
base stations attached to the Mystic Star – Air Force One – network included
the White House Situation Room, Andrews Air Force Base – home of AF1, and the
Strategic Air Command (SAC) – the Air Force bomb and missle command that also
used Collins Radio and were attached to this network.
After
the assassination a makeshift WHCA base station was set up in the office of the
Secret Service Director in his office in the Executive Office Building (EOB)
next door to the White House.
Other
base stations attached to the network were Site R – and the SAC headquarters,
but they remained silent during most of the assassination proceedings.
More
recently, another base station was identified – at the Dallas Emergency Command
Post – a bomb proof underground command and control center below the Science
Museum at the Texas State Fairgrounds, where the Dallas Police Special Services
Unit also made their headquarters. More than half of the Dallas Special Service
bureau policeman were also US Army Reserve officers.
This
Dallas Emergency Command Post was run by Jack Crichton, head of the US Army 488th
Intelligence Unit, though Crichton reported to be at a conference at the
Adolphis Hotel at the time of the assassination, while the Emergency Command
Post was directed by an assistant, also a Colonel........
