In reply to the discussion: My only post on the JFK assassination [View all]solarhydrocan
(551 posts)5. k/r excellent post. Release the files NOW
Operation 40 was a Central Intelligence Agency-sponsored undercover operation in the early 1960s, which was active in the United States and the Caribbean (including Cuba), Central America, and Mexico.
It was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in March 1960, after the January 1959 Cuban Revolution, and was presided over by Vice-president Richard Nixon.
The group included Frank Sturgis (who would later become one of the Watergate burglars); Felix Rodriguez (a CIA officer who later was involved in the capture and summary execution of Che Guevara); Luis Posada Carriles (held in the US in 2010 on charges of illegal immigration, he is demanded by Venezuela for his key role in the execution of the 1976 Cubana Flight 455 bombing); Orlando Bosch (founder of the counterrevolutionary Coordination of United Revolutionary Organizations, that organized the 1976 murder of Chilean former minister Orlando Letelier); Rafael 'Chi Chi' Quintero; Virgilio Paz Romero; Pedro Luis Diaz Lanz; Bernard Barker; Porter Goss**; and Barry Seal. Members took part in the April 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion directed against the government of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro.

**Porter Goss was co-chair of the original 911 "investigation" and co-author of the Patriot Act. Isn't that interesting.

Even if Oswald was guilty and the official story is true, does anyone think the above atrocities won't come back around?

That TPTB will not let the public know how 9-11 really played out speaks volumes imo

If Oswald acted alone... Then none of those agents or nations were involved!
