FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE: HOW I PARTICIPATED IN THE CIA-MAFIA MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY.

10.23.2009 - Dear JFK Murder Solved Forum Members and Readers: FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE: HOW I PARTICIPATED IN THE CIA-MAFIA
MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY, S.P.I. Books, A division of Shapolisky Publishers, Inc. Copyright 1992 by Robert D. Morrow.
"Robert D. Morrow, a senior CIA agent, reporting to the head of covert operations, reveals the extraordinary plan that resulted in
the assassination of JFK. Now he tells the whole story for the first time... With an Introduction by John H. Davis, Author of The
Kennedy's: Dynasty & Disaster, and Mafia Kingfish. Now for the first time, a former CIA agent reveals all the details of the extraordinary
plan to murder the President of the United States.The astonishing story Robert Morrow tells is complete, uncensored and terrifying. He
names the conspirators and explains the circumstances that caused the American intelligence community to conclude that President
Kennedy was too soft on communism, a threat to the Mafia status quo and a betrayer of the Cuban Freedom Fighters.CIA agent Morrow
participated in the assassination plot on direct orders from the head of CIA Covert Operations."
"He was a patriot who committed honorable treason - an educated elite CIA operative dedicated to his country, who obeyed orders he
received. He was also part of a deadly CIA network of killer agents and Mafia enforcers.First Hand Knowledge is the unbelievable-yet-true
News breaking account of Morrow's years with the world's most powerful clandestine organization - a government agency that deliberately
lied to and manipulated the American public, playing deadly covert games with those who crossed their paths and purposes. Robert Morrow
reveals his stunning First Hand Knowledge of:* The direct orders from the CIA Covert Operation's Chief to the author to purchase and modify
three Mannlicher rifles used in the assassination of JFK.* The truth behind JFK'S cover-up of the October Missle Crisis and how it was a leading
factor in his assassination.* The alliance - between the CIA, the Mafia and the Cuban anti-Castro movement - provided funding and personnel
for the assassination.* J. Edgar Hoover's silent complicity with the Mafia and the CIA-sponsored Cuban assassination plot.* The active
participation of Carlos Marcello and other Mafia bosses in the assassination strategy.* LBJ'S personal ties to Organized Crime through his top
White House aide.* Vice President Richard Nixon's sanctioning and ordering of political assassinations as White House CIA liason, including the
secret Operation Forty plan to kill leftist Cubans.Firt Hand Knowledge sets the historical record straight and dares to reveal the CIA'S darkest
and most secret missions. It is the definitive account of the people responsible for changing the destiny of a nation - their intrigues and
triumphs over democracy in America.Mr. Morrow has now come forward with the truth because he believes the danger to his family is reduced
due to the impending release of the Congressional files on the assassination.Robert D. Morrow is the author of the controversial bestseller
Betrayal. An alumnus of both PA Military College and Penn State, he holds several important patents in the electronics and electro-mechanical
fields. He worked for the CIA as a contract employee from 1959 to 1964 in conjunction with the Cuban exile movement. He wrote his first book, Betrayal, about his experiences during this period. Mr. Morrow currently resides with his family somewhere in the Midwest."
Comments: I just received this book last night from a friend who formerly worked for the U.S. Government, and is now retired. To say that
he is dismayed with the Military Industrial Complex, the CIA, and all other related industries, would be a major understatement. Frankly,
he could not believe that I did not already own this book. After starting to read it last night, neither did I.I normally (abnormally ?) read 5 -
10 books at a time, and jump from book to book. This book made me put down my other nine (9) books. After I thoroughly read and study
this book, I will post some further comments in another week or two. ( I currently have several other major projects pending that frequently
pull me away.)Note that this book was published in 1992. Obviously it was worked on before then. Jimmy Files was also working on his first
interview at that time after the FBI leaked information about James Earl Sutton being the actual Grassy Knoll shooter.Several things rang out
as I read them about Morrow's "honorable treason," and "following orders." I do not want to influence serious researcher's with my complete
thoughts at this point in time.That said, I am analyzing this work in The Sequential Time Line Analysis Methodology that I have been using
since the late 1960'S. I began using this further when I first learned The Artificial Construct Methodology that was used in the movie Executive
Action was based in part on a confidential interview from someone involved in Dallas, Texas on 11.22.1963. I had previously posted this 2 -3
times before on the JFK Forum, but it was crashed. Frankly, I thought that I did excellent work on that. One of the last times I posted it,
the JFK Forum crashed that same day. I was suspicious to say the least.
As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then f
ormulate your own Opinions and Theories.
Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?
Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFK Researchers who may not be as well versed as you.

Here's a question for you-Powerful conspirators decide to kill the president. Why do they choose low-powered rifles (Mannlicher Carcano)
to do the deed? They could have incriminated Oswald with more powerful rifles (he obviously did not order 'his' Carcano), and yet they c
hose the Carcano- why?Counterintuitive, isn't it? I'm not saying they were not used, mind you, only that there may be a fundamental
misunderstanding as to what the killing plan was in Dealey Plaza. Otherwise, why not use high-powered rifles more likely to cause greater
damage?(Damn, I feel like I'm channeling Deep Throat).

Bruce In New Mexico I learned of chia seeds and their use by Indian runners.
Regarding Morrow and Morrow, the continuing examination comes to fruition as we place things in perspective.Some get the telescope
turned around and the vital appears small; the trivial, large. I am often wondering who remains standing above the shards of fallen
terra cotta warriors. While the machinery prepares the Utah NSA installation and Gates pretends to be concerned over wikileaks.

Dear JFK Murder Solved Forum Members and Readers:
Pasquale and Phil - Thank You both for your standard focused, intelligent responses. Pasquale - There is what Jimmy has stated in his
Interviews in 1993 and 2003 that is in the public domain, and what I have learned directly from him since the 1960'S, including our
weekly Business and Legal Meetings, up to and including yesterday. To answer your question simply, for now, yes there is substantial consistent information. Stressing what Jimmy has stated about compartmentalization and need to know, Morrow expands intelligently in other additional directions. There is also substantial material that I have learned, which has propelled my own personal research and study in different directions.
Each new fact raised new directions and questions for me. See if you are affected in the same way.I do not wish to detract from your fresh reading
of this material. After you read and study this work, I would love to discuss Pro and Con with you intelligently.The views held by The Military Industrial Complex and The Intelligence Community about JFK in the 1960'S are very well covered:1. That JFK was soft on Communism,2. JFK was a threat to
the Mafia directly, and indirectly to the relationship that they enjoyed with the CIA and FBI, including J. Edgar Hoover,3. JFK'S perceived betrayal
of the Cuban Freedom Fighters,4. JFK'S alleged cover-up of the October Missile Crisis,5. Richard Nixon's sanctioning and ordering of political assassinations as White House CIA liaison, including Operation Group 40,6. LBJ'S direct personal ties to Organized Crime,7. The opinions of JFK and
RFK by Carlos Marcello, and Santos Trafficante,8. The Far Reaching Power of James Riddle Hoffa which Jimmy has always preached to me,9. The
depth of involvement of Johnny Roselli, aka Colonel Ralston, aka Mr. Rawlson, et. al.,10. AM/LASH,11. The Bay of Pigs,12. Lee Harvey Oswald,13.
David Ferrie,14. Air America,15. The importance, uses, and value of Global Drug Trading, and on, and on, and on.Pasquale , I found it informative, powerful, and very supportive. But I also found the story about the purchase and modification of three (3) Mannlicher Carcano rifles very interesting, along with many other developed scenarios. I don't think that you will be disappointed with this work. Where lies the truth ? Can there be multiple separate truths, different from another's perspective, or level of involvement ? I definitely think so.Were there multiple levels to the numerous
efforts, and Final Assassination/Coup de' tat of JFK ? I definitely think so.Phil - Your analytical, focused, inciting thought processes always give me quantitative and qualitative pause. Yes, the vital appears small, and the trivial large as we follow all threads, and connect all dots from 11.22.1963
to 08.05.2010 and beyond.
As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate
your own Opinions and Theories.
Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?

Great discussion here folks. JFK was a threat to the CIA, without a doubt. He wasn't soft on Communism, but he was a true visionary. That vision
was completely opposite of what the CIA and the Military Industrial Complex wanted. JFK learned his lesson after the Bay of Pigs. He fired Allen
Dulles and others because of that failed operation. JFK did not approve Operation Northwoods. He didn't listen to the Joint Chiefs about invading
Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. A decision by the way, that saved the world from a nuclear conflict and probably WWIII. JFK was in the process
of tearing the CIA into 1,000 pieces. JFK was undertaking back channel peace negotiations with Cuba and the Soviet Union. JFK was not going to
invade Vietnam. JFK was also making key changes to the Federal Reserve, a change that also hurt the CIA, as big banking and the CIA were in bed together. JFK was going to make big oil pay its fair share. Big oil was also linked to the CIA as fronts to some of the operations in the Caribbean.
Plus you had RFK going after the Mob with vengeance, which was the exact opposite of the promise Joe Kennedy had made to the mob during the
1960 Presidential campaign, as the Mob helped JFK win Illinois. All of these factors made the events of 11/22/1963 happen. Those events have
allowed the world to become what it is today. A criminal enterprise led by goverments, big banking and big corporations. The CIA has been allowed
to take full power, as it now controls the White House. Some of us believe that the White House has been led by an operative of the CIA since Poppy Bu$h became President in 1988. Bill Clinton was an operative as well, during the Mena episode, where he worked hand in hand with Poppy Bu$h. Dumbya Bush was a clear operative, similar to Poppy, as he was using failed oil companies as fronts. Barry Obama became linked with the CIA at Columbia University. Obama actions (or inactions) show that he indeed is a proponent of the CIA, as wars and war profiteering continues, plus he
has protected the CIA from any criminal actions such as the use of torture. Now...imagine the world if JFK had lived. Just imagine...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okd3hLlvvLw

Members and Readers:I recently received and began reading First Hand Knowledge: How I Participated In The CIA-Mafia Murder Of President
Kennedy by Robert D. Morrow. Also, I mistakenly thought that he was a member here. It is a different person as Mr. Dragoo points out here.
Thank You.I began to prepare my own initial reflections on this book, but I am learning quickly to double check the wealth of knowledge
already contained here. I was going to strongly suggest reading this book, and ask for input. However, Mr. Brychek critiqued this book here
on October 23, 2009, and was joined by several researchers and writers whom I have been following since before I became a member. In fact
many of the people in this discussion group actually convinced me to join Mr. Dankbaar's JFK Forum through their consistent level of high quality material and subject matters.There is some powerful research here that other public venues are alluding to only today. It appears that this book,
Mr. Dankbaar's JFK Forum, and several of the long time members were beyond cutting edge. I have noticed that some books and discussions contained here are still years ahead of other Forums and Face Book Discussion Groups. Documentation and referrals to authoritative sources here, for and against various positions, is 90 % better than the Social Media Discussion Groups by far. The members here seem far more focused and intelligent, which stimulates me better.That said, if anybody has recently read this book, I would welcome your reflections. If not, I would suggest reviewing this discussion, and consider reading this book so that we may all discuss it.
Thank You.

living on vitamins and water, that does not overcome, or explain my error properly. I was wrong. My apologies to both Robert Morrow's.
As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate
your own Opinions and Theories.
Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?
Bear in mind that we are trying to attract and educate a Whole New Generation of JFK Researchers who may not be as well versed as you.

Bruce, I'm going to pick up this book this week...finally.
Does anything in the book corroborate or reference the same information as the Files information?

Bruce In New Mexico I learned of chia seeds and their use by Indian runners.
Regarding Morrow and Morrow, the continuing examination comes to fruition as we place things in perspective.Some get the telescope
turned around and the vital appears small; the trivial, large. I am often wondering who remains standing above the shards of fallen
terra cotta warriors. While the machinery prepares the Utah NSA installation and Gates pretends to be concerned over wikileaks.

Dear JFK Murder Solved Forum Members and Readers:
Pasquale and Phil - Thank You both for your standard focused, intelligent responses. Pasquale - There is what Jimmy has stated in his
Interviews in 1993 and 2003 that is in the public domain, and what I have learned directly from him since the 1960'S, including our
weekly Business and Legal Meetings, up to and including yesterday. To answer your question simply, for now, yes there is substantial consistent information. Stressing what Jimmy has stated about compartmentalization and need to know, Morrow expands intelligently in other additional directions. There is also substantial material that I have learned, which has propelled my own personal research and study in different directions.
Each new fact raised new directions and questions for me. See if you are affected in the same way.I do not wish to detract from your fresh reading
of this material. After you read and study this work, I would love to discuss Pro and Con with you intelligently.The views held by The Military Industrial Complex and The Intelligence Community about JFK in the 1960'S are very well covered:1. That JFK was soft on Communism,2. JFK was a threat to
the Mafia directly, and indirectly to the relationship that they enjoyed with the CIA and FBI, including J. Edgar Hoover,3. JFK'S perceived betrayal
of the Cuban Freedom Fighters,4. JFK'S alleged cover-up of the October Missile Crisis,5. Richard Nixon's sanctioning and ordering of political assassinations as White House CIA liaison, including Operation Group 40,6. LBJ'S direct personal ties to Organized Crime,7. The opinions of JFK and
RFK by Carlos Marcello, and Santos Trafficante,8. The Far Reaching Power of James Riddle Hoffa which Jimmy has always preached to me,9. The
depth of involvement of Johnny Roselli, aka Colonel Ralston, aka Mr. Rawlson, et. al.,10. AM/LASH,11. The Bay of Pigs,12. Lee Harvey Oswald,13.
David Ferrie,14. Air America,15. The importance, uses, and value of Global Drug Trading, and on, and on, and on.Pasquale , I found it informative, powerful, and very supportive. But I also found the story about the purchase and modification of three (3) Mannlicher Carcano rifles very interesting, along with many other developed scenarios. I don't think that you will be disappointed with this work. Where lies the truth ? Can there be multiple separate truths, different from another's perspective, or level of involvement ? I definitely think so.Were there multiple levels to the numerous
efforts, and Final Assassination/Coup de' tat of JFK ? I definitely think so.Phil - Your analytical, focused, inciting thought processes always give me quantitative and qualitative pause. Yes, the vital appears small, and the trivial large as we follow all threads, and connect all dots from 11.22.1963
to 08.05.2010 and beyond.
As always, I strongly recommend that you first read, research, and study material completely yourself about a Subject Matter, and then formulate
your own Opinions and Theories.
Any additional analyses, interviews, investigations, readings, research, studies, thoughts, or writings on any aspect of this Subject Matter ?

Great discussion here folks. JFK was a threat to the CIA, without a doubt. He wasn't soft on Communism, but he was a true visionary. That vision
was completely opposite of what the CIA and the Military Industrial Complex wanted. JFK learned his lesson after the Bay of Pigs. He fired Allen
Dulles and others because of that failed operation. JFK did not approve Operation Northwoods. He didn't listen to the Joint Chiefs about invading
Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. A decision by the way, that saved the world from a nuclear conflict and probably WWIII. JFK was in the process
of tearing the CIA into 1,000 pieces. JFK was undertaking back channel peace negotiations with Cuba and the Soviet Union. JFK was not going to
invade Vietnam. JFK was also making key changes to the Federal Reserve, a change that also hurt the CIA, as big banking and the CIA were in bed together. JFK was going to make big oil pay its fair share. Big oil was also linked to the CIA as fronts to some of the operations in the Caribbean.
Plus you had RFK going after the Mob with vengeance, which was the exact opposite of the promise Joe Kennedy had made to the mob during the
1960 Presidential campaign, as the Mob helped JFK win Illinois. All of these factors made the events of 11/22/1963 happen. Those events have
allowed the world to become what it is today. A criminal enterprise led by goverments, big banking and big corporations. The CIA has been allowed
to take full power, as it now controls the White House. Some of us believe that the White House has been led by an operative of the CIA since Poppy Bu$h became President in 1988. Bill Clinton was an operative as well, during the Mena episode, where he worked hand in hand with Poppy Bu$h. Dumbya Bush was a clear operative, similar to Poppy, as he was using failed oil companies as fronts. Barry Obama became linked with the CIA at Columbia University. Obama actions (or inactions) show that he indeed is a proponent of the CIA, as wars and war profiteering continues, plus he
has protected the CIA from any criminal actions such as the use of torture. Now...imagine the world if JFK had lived. Just imagine...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okd3hLlvvLw

Members and Readers:I recently received and began reading First Hand Knowledge: How I Participated In The CIA-Mafia Murder Of President
Kennedy by Robert D. Morrow. Also, I mistakenly thought that he was a member here. It is a different person as Mr. Dragoo points out here.
Thank You.I began to prepare my own initial reflections on this book, but I am learning quickly to double check the wealth of knowledge
already contained here. I was going to strongly suggest reading this book, and ask for input. However, Mr. Brychek critiqued this book here
on October 23, 2009, and was joined by several researchers and writers whom I have been following since before I became a member. In fact
many of the people in this discussion group actually convinced me to join Mr. Dankbaar's JFK Forum through their consistent level of high quality material and subject matters.There is some powerful research here that other public venues are alluding to only today. It appears that this book,
Mr. Dankbaar's JFK Forum, and several of the long time members were beyond cutting edge. I have noticed that some books and discussions contained here are still years ahead of other Forums and Face Book Discussion Groups. Documentation and referrals to authoritative sources here, for and against various positions, is 90 % better than the Social Media Discussion Groups by far. The members here seem far more focused and intelligent, which stimulates me better.That said, if anybody has recently read this book, I would welcome your reflections. If not, I would suggest reviewing this discussion, and consider reading this book so that we may all discuss it.
Thank You.
