Cuban Exile Militant Claims CIA Meeting With Oswald Before JFK Killing

Cuban Exile Militant Claims CIA Meeting With Oswald Before JFK Killing
Written by Andrew Kreig
Published on September 27, 2014

A former Cuban exile anti-Castro militant told a conference audience Sept. 26 in a blockbuster revelation that he saw accused presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald with their mutual CIA handler six weeks before the killing and there would have been no anti-Castro movement in Cuba without the CIA funding.

Antonio Veciana, the acknowledged leader of the Alpha 66 assassination squad of Cuban exiles in the early 1960s, made the statements in a dignified but emotion-laden manner at this year's major conference analyzing the Warren Commission report on murder of President John F. Kennedy Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas. Alpha 66 is alleged to have tried to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro on two occasions, but Veciana, a onetime certified public accountant for a wealthy Cuban in the years before the revolution, has never been been charged with an attempt.

David Atlee PhillipsSeparately, the general counsel of the last major government investigation into the killing issued a statement saying the CIA had deceived him and the rest of the public during the late 1970s inquiry into the validity of the Warren report. Former House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) General Counsel G. Robert Blakey issued the statement during the conference Sept. 26-28 organized at the Bethesda Hyatt Regency Hotel in Bethesda, MD by the Assassination Archives and Research Center (AARC).

Veciana said he is convinced the CIA organized the president's murder and that he saw Oswald meeting with a CIA official in Dallas because Veciana arrived at his meeting fifteen minutes too early. Veciana said he believes Oswald was a CIA operative whom the agency decided to blame for a killing it organized in a complex plot.

in Douglass' book, JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters (Orbis Books, 2008, Touchstone Books/Simon & Schuster, 2010). Oswald believed that he was ordered to Dallas to PROTECT the President. Also, Oswald was sent to Russia in order to set up an elaborate scheme to BLAME Russia for the assassination, in order to pressure JFK's successor to nuke Russia in retaliation. They were furious that JFK had refused to nuke Russia during the Cuban Missile Crisis--the final disagreement between the CIA/MIC and JFK that precipitated the assassination.

Douglass is simply brilliant at exposing the CIA's convoluted plot and coverup, including the REASONS FOR IT.

So, this news surprises me not at all. Oswald clearly had CIA handlers and was a CIA patsy. What is a bit surprising is that a "former Cuban exile anti-Castro militant"--Antonio Veciana--would have a change of heart and start telling the truth.

I'm beginning to think that the putrid and traumatizing underbelly of our government, and the key event of this putrid and traumatizing underbelly--the CIA's assassination of JFK--may at long last be on the verge of "going viral." We desperately need it to do so. Douglass calls it "WHY IT MATTERS." We are sick, sick country and society--a country and a society living a lie!

Or is your idea merely to smear me with an 'ad hominem' attack, so that you don't have to research anything or THINK about anything?
