E. Howard Hunt

[Bob]

We have talked about this before, but it is worth discussing again. That is, the death bed "confession" of E. Howard Hunt concerning the JFK assassination. To read the story published in Rolling Stome magazine, please see...

Like it is stated on this site, and in Oliver Stone's movie JFK, Hunt says that LBJ and J. Edgar Hoover were involved in the assassination. Others were named as well as you will read. But he doesn't paint a clear picture in my opinion. I think he does name a lot of names, but not all of the names connected to the murder. Why? Because he is protecting some folks that he was close to, I believe. Another article in the Online Journal talks about this. I highlighted the most interesting part of the article.

The last confession of E. Howard Hunt: US government/CIA team murdered JFK

The April 5 issue of Rolling Stone features the deathbed confession of CIA operative and key Bay of Pigs/Watergate/Nixon administration figure E. Howard Hunt, The Last Confession of E. Howard Hunt by Erik Hedegaard. This piece is significant not only for its exploration of Hunt, but for breakthrough information that appears to thoroughly corroborate the work of key John F. Kennedy assassination researchers and historians.

Who killed JFK?

According to Hunt’s confession, which was taken by his son, St. John (“Saint”) Hunt, over the course of many personal and carefully planned father-son meetings, the following individuals were among the key participants:

Lyndon B. Johnson: LBJ, whose own career was assisted by JFK nemesis J. Edgar Hoover (FBI), gave the orders to a CIA-led hit team, and helped guide the Warren Commission/lone gunman cover-up.

Cord Meyer: CIA agent, architect of the Operation Mockingbird disinformation apparatus, and husband of Mary Meyer (who had an affair with JFK).

David Atlee Philips: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Recruited William Harvey (CIA) and Cuban exile militant Antonio Veciana.

William Harvey: CIA and Bay of Pigs veteran. Connected to Mafia figures Santos Trafficante and Sam Giancana.

Antonio Veciana: Cuban exile, founder of CIA-backed Alpha 66.

Frank Sturgis: CIA operative, mercenary, Bay of Pigs veteran, and later Watergate figure.

David Morales: CIA hit man, Bay of Pigs veteran. Morales was also a figure involved with the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy.

Lucien Sarti: Corsican assassin and drug trafficker, possible “French gunman,” Grassy Knoll (second) shooter.

Would Hunt continue to tell lies on his deathbed? Perhaps. Would Hunt tell a final tall story or two, to protect himself, or perhaps deal one final slap in the face to the US government (which made him a fall guy for Watergate)? Yes. Would Hunt hide the involvement of certain individuals to whom he remained loyal, including people who are still alive? Certainly. Anything from an operative like Hunt can only be accepted with caution and healthy skepticism.

Nevertheless, Hunt’s scenario has the ring of truth.

Each of the named names are well-known CIA and CIA-linked players exposed by many researchers and historians who have detailed the enduring connection from the Bay of Pigs and the Dallas hit to Watergate and Iran-Contra.

The Hunt confession vindicates generations of historians, researchers and whistleblowers who have given their lives and careers to expose the truth about Dealey Plaza. While there are too many to name, they include, but are not limited to (and in no particular order): Jim Garrison, Mark Lane, Fletcher Prouty, Josiah Thompson, Carl Oglesby, Peter Dale Scott, Anthony Summers, Robert Groden, Victor Marchetti, David Lifton, Harrison Livingstone, Michael Canfield, A.J. Weberman, Sylvia Meagher, William Turner, Jim Marrs, Pete Brewton, John Newman, Philip Melanson, Hal Verb, Mae Brussell, Harold Weisberg, Oliver Stone, Mike Ruppert and Dan Hopsicker, Jim diEugenio and Linda Pease.

Meanwhile, the criminal deceptions of the US government and its corporate media, the Warren Commission, and the dirty work of cover-up specialists such as Gerald Posner and Mark Fuhrman, and the legions of JFK assassination revisionist/theorists, deserve a final rebuke, and eternal scorn.

Highlighting Hunt’s role

Although the Rolling Stone piece does not address it, the Hunt confession directly corroborates two classic investigations that previously exposed the role of Hunt. They are Mark Lane’s Plausible Denial and Michael Canfield/A.J. Weberman’s Coup D’Etat in America. Lane’s book details how he took Hunt to court, and won a libel suit, essentially proving that the CIA murdered JFK, and that Hunt lied about his whereabouts. The investigation of Canfield and Weberman identified Hunt and Frank Sturgis as two of the three “tramps” arrested at Dealey Plaza.

Time has only made these investigations more relevant. More than ever, their books, and those of the JFK historians and researchers above listed, deserve to be found, read and studied.

Hunt to Nixon to BushThe Rolling Stone piece fails to go after the roles of Richard Nixon and George Herbert Walker Bush. But the Hunt confession, if accurate, leads directly to them, to their lifelong associates, and all the way to the present George W. Bush administration.The Dallas-Watergate-Iran-Contra connection has been thoroughly documented by the key JFK researchers, and in particular, in the work of Peter Dale Scott, one of the very first to show the deep political continuity across three decades. Daniel Hopsicker’s Barry and the Boys goes into even more detail on the players.Consider the career of George H.W. Bush. He was a Texas oilman (Zapata Oil) and a CIA operative, involved with the Bay of Pigs. Bush’s name was found in the papers of George DeMohrenschildt, one of Lee Harvey Oswald’s CIA handlers. As documented by Pete Brewton, author of The Mafia, the CIA and George Bush, Bush was deeply connected with a small circle of Texas elites tied to the CIA and the Mafia, as well as the Florida-based CIA/anti-Casto Cuban exile/ Mafia milieu As Richard Nixon’s hand-picked Republican National Committee chairman, and later as CIA director, Bush constantly covered-up and stonewalled for his boss about Watergate, which itself (by the admission of Frank Sturgis and others) was a cover-up of the JFK assassination.Tracking any of the individual CIA operatives involved with the Bay of Pigs, it is impossible to ignore or deny direct connections to George H.W. Bush and his crime family, across the Kennedy assassinations, covert operations in Indochina and, later, Latin America.Beyond any reasonable doubt, the US government murdered John F. Kennedy. There are people still alive today who were involved directly and indirectly implicated. Some are probably even serving in positions of high influence. Some still have never been identified or touched.All of these individuals still need to be pursued, exposed, and brought to justice.

This site was one of the first, if not the first, to place some of the blame of the JFK assassination at the feet of Richard Nixon and George H. W. "Poppy" Bu$h. I also have issue with Hunt naming Sarti as the grassy knoll shooter, although he has been put there before in TMWKK. And the investigator that put Sarti there in that story was incorrect about a lot of his reporting. But Sarti could have been there as one of the shooters. But I also believe Jimmy Files was one of the shooters. Like Joe Pesci, as David Ferrie said in JFK, "It's a mystery, wrapped in a riddle, inside an enigma. Even the shooters don't know." The shooters had their own assignments and that's all they knew. And I agree with the last statement of the story above...All of these individuals still need to be pursued, exposed, and brought to justice. One day it will happen.

i have always felt that sarti, if he was there, was in the storm drain ubder the sidewalk. I know wim believes the neck wound was a splinter from jimmys headshot but i think it is possible that sarti hit jfk from the front in the neck before he passed the stemmons freeway sign. I cannot explain where the exit wound was on this scenerio.

Since I am a tri-plegic, I am familiar with spinal chord injuries and how they affect the body. I have always been intrigued at the fact that jfk appears to have his hands in a fist as he is reaching of protecting his throat as he comes into view from the stemmons sign in the zapruder film. why i think this is important is when there is high injury to the spinal chord, the nerves that make the fingers extend are also damaged. if you ever noticed a quadroplegic, you will see him with his hands in a fist because he cannot extend his fingers. those nerves are high on the spinal chord. So when jfk clutches his throat with his hands clenched in a fist, it could be from a shot from either the front or back that damaged his spinal chord. that also might be why he started to slump in his seat.

Interesting comments Tom. I don't know if Sarti was there or not. But I do believe that Frank Sturgis and E. Howard Hunt were in Dealey Plaza that day. And they were not in the group known as the three tramps. The three tramps were Chauncey Holt, Charles Harrelson and Charles Rogers. For more, look at the information at the front page of this site. But Jimmy Files did see Frank Sturgis that day. And there are some photos that we used to have on this site of a man who resembles E. Howard Hunt walking across the street towards the grassy knoll after the assassination. If anybody can find those photos, I'd appreciate it.
