NOT COVERED BY OLIVER STONE IN JFK: WHO CALLED GENERAL "Y"?

(A Brian Quig Article From 1991)

NOT COVERED BY OLIVER STONE IN JFK: WHO CALLED GENERAL "Y"?

On the university speaker's circuit my company, INTELLIGENCE CONNECTION, representS essentially all the top consultants on the Oliver Stone movie, JFK, with one exception. I know that the viewpoints I represent in this column will never make it onto Peter Jennings, but having them presented uncensored by speakers far more articulate than myself, to student and faculty audiences at CAL POLY, UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, HARVARD, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, VILLONOVA, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY, STANFORD, BERKELEY, is a very powerful thing.

Last week HARVARD students waited in line for as long as 8 hours to guarantee their places at a presentation given by Oliver Stone and Col. L. Fletcher Prouty. Prouty's CIA career formed the basis for the Mr. X/ Donald Sutherland character in the movie. As Stone and John Newman left the facility at one end, it was Prouty that the students mobbed at the other.

All of my speakers are doing as many as 5 and 6 radio and TV interviews a day. Robert Groden, former photographic consultant for the SELECT COMMITTEE ON ASSASSINATIONS, and the top technical consultant for Stone on the shooting sequence, has done more than 300 interviews since the end of September. His book HIGH TREASON which reached number 2 on the NEW YORK TIMES Best Sellers List last year has now gone back up to number 7. Jim Marrs, author of CROSSFIRE, is filming in London as this is being written. The flood gates of knowledge have been opened ))) perhaps never to close.

As the heavy chorus of CIA shills on the political panels implore TV watchers not to see JFK, more than 10 million movie goers have already seen for themselves. One high level CIA memorandum that was inadvertently declassified referred to "our 400 assets in the major media". There has never been a better time to identify who these assets are.

Tom Wicker, the chief national affairs writer for the NEW YORK TIMES, now ridicules Oliver Stone for suggesting that Kennedy was shot from the front. Readers are directed to the front page article of the NEW YORK TIMES dated Nov. 23rd 1963 ))) one day after the assassination. In this column, before the cover)up was implemented, Wicker described the president's wounds to the throat and head as the result of frontal shots!

Principal among the "Dealey Plaza success stories" ))) and there have been many ))) is Dan Rather. Rather was standing under the Triple Underpass at the time of the assassination. If we are to believe Rather's account given in his book, THE CAMERA NEVER BLINKS, we must take his word that the ace news hound wasn't paying attention when the president was killed. Rather says that he never noticed that anything was wrong until after the president's car had gone past him (within several yards) and jumped the curb to the Stemmins Freeway.

Barbara Honegger was excited when Dan Rather's chief researcher spent a week with her in California studying her OCTOBER SURPRISE material. She said it would mean that the story would soon be breaking on CBS. I told her Rather's man was there only to pick her brain to counter the story and that CBS never intended to air what she gave to them. Guess what? No story.

I cited Rather's positioning in Dealey Plaza and sent her the WARREN COMMISSION testimony of all the witnesses who were nearest to him. It is interesting to compare what these witnesses saw and heard to what Rather didn't see and didn't hear.

James Tague, the bystander whose cheek was injured by fragments from a bullet that missed the president, was the witness closest to Rather. He clearly stated that he heard the shots come from behind the nearby picket fence on the grassy knoll and saw the gunpowder smoke rise from this area. Dan Rather, the trained observer who was situated in this most important of all areas, never testified before the WARREN COMMISSION, never spoke to the FBI, never even submitted an affidavit ))) and he CCnever mentions that he was there.DD

Another big shot in network news, Robert McNeil, is photographed in a series of photos taken the minute after the shooting which show McNeil running up the grassy knoll to the first level of the triple overpass ))) just about 30 yards from the picket fence. Ominous is the way a figure calls to McNeil, from behind, and McNeil turns his head to this person in response. A long time acquaintance of Jack Ruby identifies this person calling McNeil as Jack Ruby.

In the book DULLES, Leonard Moseley relates how Allen Dulles, the CIA Director that Kennedy fired, would throw a party every year at the ALIBI CLUB in Washington D.C. for the 50 top execs of CIA and the 50 top execs of CBS. Rather had regional responsibility for news coverage over several states in 1963. His home office was in New Orleans. In light of the parties of Allen Dulles and the fact that CHASE MANHATTAN held a controlling interest in CBS, it is easy to just let the readers draw their own conclusions.

For the record, the General "Y" character was General Edward Lansdale, the Chief Covert Operations Officer of the UNITED STATES in 1963. Mr. "X" was Col. L. Fletcher Prouty, at this time the liaison between the Secretary of Defence and the CIA Director, Allen Dulles. Ruth and Michael Paine were identified as the "Williams couple". George DeMohrenschildt was briefly portrayed, with no lines, but not identified. These three omissions were very disappointing and it still has not been explained to me why this was necessary. On balance, this was minor compared with the factual integrity of the rest of the film.

George DeM, who is discussed later, introduced the Oswalds to Ruth and Michael Paine and then never saw Oswald again. Ruth Paine took Marina Oswald in to live in her home in Dallas while her husban Michael held a job at BELL HELECOPTER which reported directly to General Dornberger, Hitler's x)Minister of Industry. This position depended upon a security clearance. The Paines were related on both sides to the Cabots and Michael's cousin was president of the CIA front UNITED FRUIT (prominate in many Latin American coups). WARREN COMMISSIONERS Allen Dulles and CHASE MANHATTEN President, John McCloy, were officers of UNITED FRUIT. General Dornberger was one of three Nazi generals rescued from the gallows of Nurenberg by Allen Dulles and John McCloy in the aftermath of WW II who were prominent in the JFK murder.

It should be of special interest to movie goers that Jim Garrison's defendent, Clay Shaw, was detailed to the office of Winston Churchill during WW II.

George DeMohrenschildt was described in Gerald Ford's book PORTRAIT OF THE ASSASSIN as "Oswald's best friend in Dallas". DeM was a blue blooded White Russian aristocrat who took Oswald to parties attended by admirals, generals and the upper crust of Dallas society. In 1941 DeM was arrested in Mexico City in the company of Rodney MacArthur, nephew of General Douglas MacArthur, and charged with espionage. This was the third time DeM was charged with spying.

Pay special attention of WARREN COMMISSION document 533. In my opinion it is the most telling document in the entire 26 volumes. When arrested DeM had a letter of introduction from the chief of police of New Orleans and ))) more sinister ))) a similar letter over the signature of Nelson Rockefeller ))) along with two bank drafts from the CHASE MANHATTAN. This was when Nelson was head of the OFFICE OF INTER AMERICAN AFFAIRS ))) the precursor of OSS and CIA. Nelson literally recruited the agents which eventually became the Latin American wing of the CIA. What more need I say?
