German Documentary 'Proves' Castro Killed Kennedy
« on: January 20, 2006, 01:26:00 PM »
For fear of provoking another confrontation with the Soviets like the Cuba missile crisis, official Washington failed to give voice to what a recent documentary now shows: that Fidel Castro had John F. Kennedy murdered. According to this op-ed article from Ecuador's El Comercio, the German documentary shows that Castro was merely responding to the many documented attempts by the Kennedy Administration to murder him.

By Carlos Alberto Montaner

I usually scorn conspiracy theories of history, but sometimes, one must surrender before the evidence. With abundant proof in hand, German documentary filmmaker Wilfried Huismann has credited responsibility for the assassination of North American President John F. Kennedy to Fidel Castro.

The documentary, entitled "Rendezvous with Death: Castro and Kennedy," recently shown for the first time on German public television, brings to light numerous new documents and testimony; but the most conclusive elements are a report by the Mexican intelligence services, classified under the title "Oswald-Kennedy," in which it is confirmed that in Mexico in September, 1963, Lee Harvey Oswald received $6,500 from the Cuban Secret Service as payment for him to carry out a planned crime. For his part, Oscar Marino, a former official of the Cuban G-2 Intelligence Service, now an old man in exile, corroborated the investigation of the German filmmaker: "He (Oswald) volunteered to execute him (Kennedy), and we used him."

This is not the first time that this hypothesis has been circulated. Jackie Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, without a doubt two of the people closest to the President, firmly believed this, but kept their certainty to themselves in order to avoid provoking another incident with the Soviet Union. If in that moment they had raised their suspicions, given the indignation of the North American people, it would have been inevitable that they would have invaded Cuba and punished the guilty parties; but the quivering White House didn't want another dangerous confrontation with the Kremlin like the one in October, 1962 that had placed the planet on the verge of a nuclear war. Bobby Kennedy, then the U.S. Attorney General, certainly also shared the same suspicions, but neither would he agree to accuse Castro.

When all is said and done, it appears that, as he notified the Brazilian ambassador only a few days before the assassination, the Cuban dictator was responding to plans to assassinate him, organized by the President's brother with the help of the [Italian] Mafia.

Since this shameful hiding of information, as much in Washington as in Havana, two strategies have developed for the manipulation of public opinion: In Washington, they restrained and diverted FBI investigators, especially from Mexican sources, and they created the Warren Commission, doling out to them partial and limited information in order to persuade the world that the death of the President of the United States had been the isolated and solitary act of a disturbed and uncontrollable madman.

In Havana, Fabián Escalante, the Cuban intelligence official who traveled to Dallas on the day of the assassination, perhaps to monitor the complex operation, puts forth the theory that there were other shooters who fired at Kennedy. Escalante pins the crime on Herminio Díaz, an exile and former companion of Castro in the Cuban Insurrection Union in the late 1940's, supposedly accompanied in the murder of the great man by Eladio del Valle, another exile who also has a disturbing history.

Naturally, by the time Escalante's alibi appeared, Díaz as well as del Valle had been eliminated by the Cuban intelligence services in a way that did not allow them to defend themselves from the accusation. It's just that there is no such thing as the perfect crime. In the end, the guilty are almost always discovered. This time it looks like the Germans found them.
