Warren Commission kept in dark over meeting with Castro

Warren Commission kept in dark over meeting with Castro
November 22, 2013, 9: 36 PM

A top-level mission to interview Fidel Castro about President John F. Kennedy’s assassination 50 years ago was kept so secret that even staff members of the Warren Commission did not know it had taken place.

In interviews on the anniversary of Kennedy’s death, some of the staff say they learned of the trip only from former New York Times reporter Philip Shenon’s new book, “A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination.”

“I have no independent knowledge of it,” said Howard P. Willens, a member of the commission’s supervisory staff and now a lawyer in private practice. “If it did in fact happen during the Warren Commission’s period, I’m favorably impressed.”

Willens and four others on the staff spoke to CBS News about their work and the many criticisms that have dogged them since their report was published 10 months after the assassination. They said that the commission’s conclusions had not been seriously challenged in the last half-century, despite four official government inquiries and a flood of books accusing right-wing zealots, Communists or President Lyndon Johnson himself, and that no credible evidence has surfaced showing Lee Harvey Oswald was part of a conspiracy.

...containing his info on the CIA's guilt for JFK's murder, and THAT may be what has preserved Cuba from U.S. invasion for half a century now.

Though what Castro may know is likely redundant at this point. James Douglass, in his 2007 book, "JFK and the Unspeakable: Why He Died and Why It Matters," solves this murder, including all of the misdirection/coverup mysteries, nails the CIA and furthermore nails the SICKNESS in our "military-industrial complex"-run country that resulted in that assassination and IS STILL WITH US TODAY.

The MIC/CIA has waged horrendous wars on Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Nicaragua, destroyed Chile's democracy and installed bloody dictators there and in numerous other LatAm countries, destroyed Iran's democracy early on and installed the godawful "Shah," funded both sides of the Iran v Iraq war, founded Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, then invaded Iraq twice, as well as Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, and that doesn't exhaust the list of MIC/CIA crimes around the world and in our hemisphere...but they couldn't do anything about communist Cuba?

Go figure. That tiny island "enemy" 90 miles off the Florida coast? That tiny island "enemy" with the U.S. Navy's torture prison at the other end of the island??!! Communists sit there basically unmolested for half a decade--except for a few blown up hotels/airplanes and exploding cigars? The MIC/CIA can slaughter TWO MILLION people in Southeast Asia, as well as more than 55,000 U.S. soldiers, and "can't" invade Cuba???

Nope. That's why I figure Castro's got something big on the MIC/CIA and has held them off with it all this time.

I think they may have had GOOD REASON to keep their "interview" with Castro from the members of the Warren Commission--if it even took place. I trust "CBSNews" about as much as I trust Donald Rumsfeld.

Just for the record--the following assertion in this article is a goddamned lie:

"They said that the (Warren) commission’s conclusions had not been seriously challenged in the last half-century, despite four official government inquiries..."


The Church Commission and the House Select Committee on Assassinations found that Oswald DID NOT ACT ALONE, and WAS part of a conspiracy, and they furthermore found that JFK's assassination was NOT committed by Russia, Cuba or the Mafia. (Who does that leave?)

These Congressional committees DID, in fact, "seriously challenge" the Warren Commission. They, in fact, shredded the Warren Commission's into confetti.
