Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and CIA-Cuban Deep Politics
By Larry Chin
Global Research, May 09, 2016
During a Fox News telephone interview in which he criticized his fellow presidential aspirant Senator Ted Cruz, Donald Trump cut loose with potshot that Cruzs father, Rafael Cruz, was involved with Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of president John F. Kennedy.
Shortly after this incident, Ted Cruz ended his 2016 presidential bid. But the incident itself and its ramifications remain significant. The fact that Trump dared bring up the JFK assassination is remarkable. It is a further demonstration that Trump is unpredictableand why he is feared and reviled by the Washington establishment and ruling elite.
Whether it was done thoughtlessly or with more studied intent, it does not matter. In evoking the JFK assassination, Trump yanked aside the curtain of secrecy just enough to cause a small firestorm, allowing another glimpse at the forbidden truth that the American elite has spent 53 years covering up.

Here is a clip of the Trump interview:
EXCERPT...
As exposed by Jim Garrison and numerous JFK researchers (and fictionally depicted in Oliver Stones film JFK), the CIA began setting up for the JFK assassination by creating a propaganda legend for Oswald, their chosen patsy. Oswald was set up to appear to be a pro-Castro Communist agent provocateur.
What you see is this CIA propaganda operation in motion. Lee Harvey Oswald is handing out pro-Castro leaflets at the International Trade Mart in New Orleans, which at the time was teeming with anti-Castro Cuban exiles, CIA assets intent on murdering JFK. The International Trade Mart was owned by the CIA and run by CIA operative Clay Shaw. Oswald was part of the CIAs Operation Mongoose, code name for numerous covert operations aimed at toppling Fidel Castro, in the wake of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. The Mongoose team and its network of operatives and assassins also carried out the JFK hit. But Oswald, unbeknownst to him, was being set up.
The Newman Building in New Orleans housed the CIA (Guy Bannisters office of 5312 Lafayette Street), Oswalds Fair Play for Cuba Committee FPCC front (544 Camp Street), and numerous anti-Castro groups that it was managing. It also housed offices with Mafia connections.
At the behest of his CIA handlers, which included George DeMohrenschildt, Bannister, and Shaw, Oswalds orders were to play a pro-Castro Communist sympathizer for the media cameras. This event also included a fist fight, staged purely for propaganda deception, with Cuban exile and CIA asset Carlos Bringuier, of the militantly anti-Castro/CIA/Mafia-connected Cuban Revolutionary Council, and the anti-Castro student group, the Directorio Revolucionario Estudiantil), or DRE. This was followed by a radio debate between Oswald and Bringuier, also staged in order to set up Oswalds credentials as a Communist and oddball.
Oswalds FPCC leaflets were stamped with the address of 544 Camp Street. Oswalds mistake later infuriated CIA operative Guy Bannister, who found out about it shortly after JFK was killed. Bannister was frantic that his cover would be blown.
Here is where we come to the Cuban men helping Oswald hand out leaflets. They have never been identified or they were dismissed in the official assassination panels. But logic dictates that they had to have been CIA assets. The Agency would have allowed outsiders into the midst of a delicate operation.

Weird how many people who investigate these things die by suicide. You ever hear of Garry Webb? Mark Lombardi? Danny Casolaro? If you never heard of them, I don't blame you. Your lack of awareness is the fault of the news media and acadaemia.

Take a close look at his role in Jonestown. Pure batshit crazy to put it mildly.

How about the establishment documents of the CIA. It expressly prohibits operations inside the US.

George H.W. Bush should be considered a suspect, based on what he told the FBI.

You are the most clueless CS poster on this board. Almost a parody of CS everywhere. nt

Truman criticized CIA after the assassination of JFK. Fired CIA boss Dulles demanded retraction.

There is NO credible evidence that Oswald shot at JFK, much less killed him.

You compared discussing the assassination of President Kennedy to beating a dead horse.

It's telling that the members of the Warren Commission are silent about his passing.
