Willem Oltmans and Donald Donaldson aka

In Christopher Sharrett's Open Letter to Assassination Researchers


he mentions the following: 

“There may be further evidence on the above points present in a new development in the JFK assassination. Dutch journalist Willem Oltmans, who gained a good deal of knowledge about the assassination from George DeMohrenshildt before the latter's untimely death, recently produced a witness who could be the "Deep Throat" of the assassination case.”

“This witness is General Donald Donaldson, alias Dimitri Dimitrov, alias Jim Adams, a double agent brought to the U.S. during World War II by FDR (or by the OSS), at a time when the U.S. was cooperating with Russia against the Nazis. Donaldson apparently told Oltmans and later Senator Frank Church, President Ford and President Carter that he knew the JFK assassination was planned at the highest levels of American intelligence, with the full knowledge of Allen Dulles.”

“Provided that this isn't complete disinformation, the question arises as to how Donaldson functioned as a ‘double agen’  in the interim and how, if this agent was imported from Russia, he achieved access to the most volatile American intelligence secrets?”

From The Dutchman and the Barron – (2019, Chapter 26) by Tommy Wilkens:

“Upon his arrival at Room 437 at the (Amsterdam) Marriott, Willem was met by a middle-aged man with dark hair and a very heavy accent. As the two men sat talking, ‘Jim Adams’ revealed his real identity as General Donald A. Donaldson. Totally shocked by this disclosure, Oltmans listened intently as Dounaldson spoke of his early years in the military.”

“He was originally from Bulgaria, and his Bulgarian name at birth was Dimite Adamov Dimitrov (Deko). He had been a member of the resistance movement against Nazis in World War II and part of the Democratic Liberation Movement in 1943. Fearing a communist takeover, he fled to the United States. President Franklin Roosevelt had declared him a United States citizen, given him the name “Donald A. Donaldson” and made him a titular general.”

“As Donaldson was speaking, Oltmans studied him cautiously. ‘My friends at the Pentagon know all about this meeting here,’ the general said. ‘You showed great courage bringing out the details of George deMohrenschildt’s involvment in the conspiracy in President Kennedy’s murder. You know you were completely right. George deMohrenschildt was one of the key participants. Do you realize the danger you’ve been in since you made your findings public?’”

“Donaldson went on to say that deMohrenschildt had asked the wrong people for immunity. ‘If he had only gone to the right people, his death could have been avoided,’ he declared. ‘Goring to the Soviets in Brussels was not a good move.’”

“Next, Donaldson told Oltmans that deMohrenschildt, upon his return to the United States, had gone straight to Washington. That also was not wise, Donaldson said. While there, deMohrenschildt had been offered safe passage to Mexico if he would sign a document prepared by the CIA. He did so and was directed to go to Florida.”

“And then, after a short time there and subsequent to his meeting with Edward Epstein, he was murdered by two men, according to Donaldson. Willem took note of Donaldson’s cold and calculating stare as he described the killer’s entering the Tilton home undetected during the time that George was being interviewed in Palm Beach.”

“He said that they had waited on the second floor in order to ambush him upon his return. And having killed him, they were able to slip out of the house as easily as they had entered. It had been an execution plan from start to finish, made to look like suicide and carried out with such stealth that no one nearby heard or saw anything.”

“Here, we wold like to offer our own speculation regarding the chain of events. We believe that the two men surprised deMohrenschildt. They first struck him in the mouth area, causing a fracture of the jaw, which is confirmed in the autopsy report. Then, the Tilton 20-gage was pushed into deMohrenschildt’s mouth, with both barrels wrapped in a homemade silencer to muffle the sond of the blast. One barrel of the shotgun was fired, at an upward angle. The mortally-wounded deMohrenschildt was pushed back in the wingback chair, and the weapon was placed at his feet. But the blood splatter on the wall behind the chair and to its sides was low – around the baseboard area. Investigators on the scene mentioned that they found that concerning.”

“And there was no exit wound. Furthermore, fingerprints were never found on the shotgun. Death scene photos show no blood on the ends of its barrels. And, of course, none of the five people in and around the Tilton house at the time heard a gunshot.”

“…..As this first meeting with Donaldson came to an end, Oltmans recorded that he was completely shocked by wheat he had been told. ‘Cold this all be real?’ he wrote. ‘Was this whole thing nothing but a mere plot to discredit me even more?’ He feared that revealing the new twist would cause a total disaster by making his initial findings appear even less truthful, now tha the had yet another sensational story to tell the world.”

“….In the next meeting with General Donaldson at the same Marriott Hotel, he told Oltmans of his plans for the film about the Kennedy assassination. As he talked of costs that might exceed 20 million dollars and mentioned that his company, Deko Productions, would need financial help, Oltmans began to see the direction the conversation was taking. When Donaldson finally asked if there was someone among his contacts around the world who would lend him 50 thousand dollars, Willem quickly responded that he didn’t have friends like that and he would have to find his financing somewhere else.”

“After that blatant reques for money, the meeting went on and Donaldson began to praise Oltmans for his courage in taking on such a sensitive case. He even went so far as to call Willem his hero. Quickly switching gears, Donaldson asked, ‘Did you know that Jackie Kennedy received a full report on who really killed her husband?’ He also stated that President Gerald Ford was aware that there were five bullets fired at John Kennedy that day in Dealey Plaza.”

“Donaldson warned Oltmans that if and when he returned to the United States he would have to remain constantly on guard because he now would be a prime target of the people involved in the plot. And they would not hesitate for a moment to eleminate him as they had others who got too close to unraveling the truth behind the assassination.”

“As this meeting drew to a close, he tried to strike a bargain with Oltmans. Donaldson offered to release all the names of the individuals that were involved in President Kennedy’s assassination and to identify who gave the direct order to carry it out, under one condition. Willem would have to go to Washington and arrange a personal meeting with him and President Jimmy Carter.”

“Oltmans couldn’t believe what he was hearing. This man would release to him the facts behind the killing, but only if he could arrange a face-to-face meeting at the White House with the current President? Annoyed by this strange request, he sternly told Donaldson to stop playing games and to give him the names – if he indeed did know who was behind President Kennedy’s murder.”

“Suddenly, Donaldson leaped to his feet and rushed over to his open suitcase on the bed stand. He pulled out a .38-caliber revolver and charged Oltmans with it cocked and loaded. Placing the gun under Willem’s chin wit the barrel at point blank range, Donaldson warned, ‘I will shoot and kill you and go to prison for the rest of my life if you ever reveal anything I have told you to anyone but President Carter.”

“Oltmans later recorded in his notes that, with the weapon still pushing up against his skin, he thought hard and offered Donaldson the opportunity to go to the NOS Television studios and tell his story on film to be broadcast throughout the world – and that NOS Television was prepared to pay him $100,000 to do so. That relieved the tension, and as his temper cooled, Donaldson backed away and once again praised Oltmans for being a man of courage.”

“A great feeling of relief swept over Willem as he left the hotel room. Later, back at his apartment, he would recall a similar incident, when he had met with Glenn Bryan Smith at the Hotel Terminus in Utrecht, The Neatherlands. On that occasion, he had been threatened with being thrown out of an airplane miles over the Atlantic Ocean if he didn’t end his investigation of George deMohrenschildt....”
