German film alleges Cuba hand in Kennedy murder

Berlin: Cuba's intelligence services played a role in the 1963 assassination of US President John F. Kennedy, a German documentary alleges.

The film by journalist Wilfried Huismann says Kennedy's killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, travelled to Mexico City a few weeks before the assassination and met agents from Cuba's G-2 intelligence service.

"Oswald ... did not act on his own but rather was motivated, encouraged and supported by a foreign power: namely Cuba," said Huismann in an interview with the newspaper Die Welt.

Full Story... (http://www.newkerala.com/news.php?action=fullnews&id=78846)

It seems that the film is presensing plausible witnesses of the Cuban intelligence who are named, and who are admiting that Cuba played a major role in the Kennedy murder. I guess noone was able before to "proof" a conspiration theory as good at that film. It's known that Kennedy was a rampant anti-communist, and did approve numerous plans to murder Castro, he did also approve the the bay of pigs invsaion. So the Cubans would indeed have good reasons to murder Kennedy it seems, just no one would have though that they would actually be able to realize it. Than again it's questionable wether Castro would have risked a war with the US, which most likey would have meant the end of communist Cuba. I also read that Kennedy offered Castro a normalisation of the Cuban-US relationships just months before the assasiantion, and Castro was very interested. As "Der Spiegel" wrote today, this doesn't sound like two blood thirsty head of states sending each other assasins...

Well i dont know, doesnt sound right.
Cuba wasnt weary agressive during that time and would sertanly not send assasins.

i bet this is just one other propaganda movie trying to ruin Cubas name.

Sounds like bullshit to me. Oliver Stone's JFK deals with this issue and debunks this "theory".

Their is alot more evidence pointing to the CIA with the mob than Cuba. Kennedy was concidering normalizing relations with Cuba(as previously mentioned) and abolishing the CIA. It wouldd have been self defeating for the Cubans to assassinate Kennedy. Are the Cuban intelligence agents defectors? Did they get paid for their interviews? The CIA had the means and motive and past assination expeirence. The CIA has been placing agents in the media since the 50s. The clown who made the film could possibly be an asset.

Oswald was in two different places at the time he was supposed to be in Mexico city. Alot of researchers doubt Oswald was really in Mexico city at the time. Someone was posing as Oswald possibly Frank Sturgis. With Cuba getting allies in Chavez and now Moralis the timing of this is very suspect. It smells of total bullshit.

C'mon people! I don't say that what the film is presenting is neccesarily the truth, but can't you do any better than this? There is this really stupid, sectarian habbit and reflex among many communists to shout "bourgeois media lies!", instead of actually dealing with an issue, and providing arguments. "media lies" isn't an argument and "Anyone who buys into this shit is a moron" isn't either. Well, but it's so easy with such rhetoric, since you never have to defend an issue outside your "pear group" or outside your sect, and you can just easily brush away unconvinient facts. Really, this is something which is anoying me at Revleft since the beginning.


Noone of you has even watched that film, which besides also claims the theory that there was a paralell CIA conspiracy. Also, I don't get how anybody can prefer the "truth" of a fucking Hollywood movie, which was in no way just based on facts, before a serious, journalistic documentary. The ARD isn't Fox news! (As I'm writing they are airing an excellent documetary about the dubious death of an African asylum seeker in a German police station prison)

As I mentioned in my previous post Oswald was probably not even in Mexico City as claimed. Since that seems to be the central point of Oswalds collusion with the Cubans and the USSR in the film, why should time be wasted on it? The film sounds like misinformation that only serves the CIA.

As far as Stones fictional movie, I agree that is a weak argument. Also saying it is bullshit without giving any reasons is weak, as is critisizing all the posts without reading them all.

As far as the media lying do a google on "Operation Mockingbird".

Heres the link to the BBC article on the film:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4582488.stm

I dunno. I mean, JFK wasn't (in my opinion) a bad president compared to the majority of them but if Cuba did have him killed them good on them. The amount of attempts on Castro's life by the CIA and he's still here, pretty sweet if the Cubans managed to take out a US President.
I know Jack Ruby was some kind of mafia gangster but perhaps the reason he killed Lee Harvey Oswald was because he was sent to make sure that Oswald wouldn't be able to confess working for Cuba?
I dunno. I mean I would need to see the film to make a proper decision and might not be able to even then but thats my thoughts on the matter.

If Cuba did it, yay for us. The US deserves it for trying to kill Castro.

I read all posts, and yours was admitingly the only relavant one on the topic. I wasn't reffering to all of your post, but the usual allegation of some anti-castro political intention behind the film. First, being anti-Castro isn't as political oppurtunist in Germany as in the US, keep that in mind. And the German film maker isn't know as some reactionary, anti-Cuban asshole, he is known as a leftist, made both films about Allende and Castro before, he seems to be a friend of Cuba, and did visit Cuba twenty times before he made the film.

And I'm not saying that the media isn't lying, if you think I meant that, you haven't understood what I wanted to express with my criticism at all.

Sorry, for the misunderstanding. I am not a Communist(obviously by my avatar) but have great admiration for Cuba and am so sick of all the unjust propaganda against Cuba. This is an interesting topic but I do not think I could watch the film without getting pissed off. I am by no means an intelletual(obviously if you read my posts) and am ruled by my heart and not my head, if I came across as insulting my apologies.

I highly doubt this claim and the movie, and here are my reasons

I agree with others on this, Castro and Cuba would have been crazy for even thinking of murdering Kennedy and risking a full fledged war against the US
It is true that Robert Kennedy undertook operations to assasinate Castro
But, after the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, I think Castro was overly occupied with protecting and building Cuba
It seems quite out of character for Castro to risk Cuba's autonomy by executing a vendetta against the Kennedy's for attempting to assasinate him

In addition, if anything would of hurt or demoralized the Kennedy's more than anything was the spread of socialism
And Cuba had begun to accomplish this, by spreading their influence in other parts of Latin America
An assasination seems quite out of character for Cuba

Although Oswald was a "pro-Castro," I don't believe that Cuba employed this guy, who had been monitored by the FBI and the CIA for his close ties with the Cuban and Soviet embassies, to carry out a political assasination
It would of been ridiculous for Cuba to employ this nut, who was being monitored by many western intelligence agencies, to assasinate Kenndy and risk an info and affiliation trail back to Havana
Too much risk

If anything, the mob assasinated him for being the scoundrel that he was, and the FBI covered it up to avoid linking the Kenndy's with organized crime

I mean, the Kennedy clan had links to the mob since the early days of prohibition
Joe Kennedy had ties with Joe "Diamond" Esposito, thereafter with Sam Giancana who manipulated the Chicago votes which would result in JFK's win and the White House, and finally after the Kennedy's began cracking down on the mob, Giancana and Santo Trafficante allowed the assasination of JFK and covered it up with Jack Ruby

Sam Giacanas son and brother wrote a biography on him that claims Giacana said that the mob and the CIA were responsible for Kennedys and others assasinations. I do not know how much weight I would put on it accuracy but it is an excellent read. Can not remember the name for the life of me. Wait it might be Doublecross not 100%.

Tekun
5th January 2006, 01:11
Yeah, its called Double Cross

The mob theory looks more likely, just for the simple fact that the mob played a big role in American politics up until the 1970's

There is also the theory that someone else shot Kennedy and Oswald was blamed for it or that there were two shooters. One part of the evidence behind this is the fact that not even expert marksmen have been able to dupicate Oswald's feat and Oswald was known to be pretty dull so he might not have planned it all by himself. A different shooter could coincide with the Grassy Knoll theory (however the killer wasn't probably on the grassy knoll but somewhere behind it since bullets that pass by solid objects such as trees or rocks sound as if they originated from that location).

As someone mentioned earlier, Kennedy had supposedly secretly approached with Castro about a normalization in relations. If this is true, then it would be strange for Castro to want to kill someone who could be potentially helpful.

Also, I believe that there is actual evidence that Oswald did visit Mexico City. So, if this fact was true, then Cuba or the USSR would've hired Oswald at this point (maybe throught the Mexican government. This is similar to how the USSR supposedly contracted Pope John Paul II's shooter.

Seriously, there are so many conspiracy theories about the Kennedy assasination that you could spend a great amount of time studying them (there's even a Frank Sinatra and Onassis conspiracy theory). The main reason is that there is so few evidence and conspiracy theories are always fascinating. For example, one of the FBI agents supposedly destroyed evidence that Oswald had. Also, Lee Harvey Oswald's weapon wasn't positively identified in the assassination.

However, it never really hurts to question and wonder.

Actually I don't get what is so anti-Castro at all about the claim that "the Cubans" could have killed Kennedy. If this indeed would be true it would be a major victory of Cuban intelligence over the CIA. It would just be another proof of the incompetence and totally overestimantion of "the company", it would be the most embarrasing defeat of the CIA in the 20th century, maybe only topped by that high ranking alcoholic CIA agent who spied for the KGB for almost a decade.

It seems plausible to me that the CIA would have tried to burke this defeat, also to prevent an open war against Cuba, which probaply would have ended in the 3rd world war.

Janus
5th January 2006, 03:33
Well, since most Americans are obviously patriotic, their dislike of Cuba would increase if it seemed possible that Castro was involved. There may be evidence about the Castro theory but there is also some supposed evidence that Kennedy secretly tried to approach Castro. However, I agree that it would be a major triumph for the Cubans if they did somehow pull it off (though Oswald would be a strange choice).

ReD_ReBeL
5th January 2006, 03:36
uh huh. Oswald was a wife beating git. Also if you read about Oswald he had previously tried to assasinate an anti-communist in Russia(or germany) but failed.

Janus
5th January 2006, 03:47
He tried to assassinate General Walker who lived in Texas at the time. Oswald's involvement wasn't even known until after the Kennedy assassination. The bullet from Walker's house matched that the one that killed Kennedy.

The main theory that contradicts the contracting of Oswald by an organization is that Oswald had been under the investigation and close scrutiny of the CIA because of his visit to the USSR.

Oswald is characterized as a dull person by most of the people whom he met but some of his actions contradicts it, if even a little. For example, he made a small pipe bomb in the Soviet Union, which was discovered by the KGB who were watching him and which helped lead to his return to the US which is what he planned all along. I'm don't actually think Oswald was really bright or anything since it would be impossible to pretend stupidity all your life. I just think that some of his actions could be interpreted to a deeper degree than just as attention getting plots or boyish pranks.

ReD_ReBeL
5th January 2006, 04:02
heres some info stating that it might og been a body double:

The thesis of the trio of books was that when Oswald went to the Soviet Union, he was swapped with a Soviet double. Eddowes made public the results of his investigation, saying it was the most terrifying story imaginable. He claimed that the man who killed Kennedy was not Oswald but another whose first name was Alec, a member of a KGB assassination squad. Eddowes mentioned a number of purported discrepancies. He said there were eleven separate records of Lee Harvey Oswald's height indicating he was 5'11", yet the autopsy doctors had recorded the length of the man Jack Ruby killed in the Dallas jail as 5'9". The autopsy doctors recorded two scars on the cadaver's arm while the real Oswald had three. The pathologists recorded a deep scar on the inner aspect of the wrist and Eddowes asserted the real Oswald had no such scar. At age six Lee Harvey Oswald had an operation on the mastoid bone of one of his ears. Part of the bone was removed resulting in a depression in the flesh and a dime-sized hole in the skull. Oswald's records in the Marine Corps report this defect. Eddowes said that when the doctors cut over both mastoid bones to take off the skull to examine the brain during the autopsy they reported no such depression or hole in the skull.

Although when Oswald's body was exhumed it was found that the coffin had ruptured and filled with water, leaving the body in an advanced state of decomposition with partial skeletalization, the exhumation procedure identified the corpse as Oswald's through examinations based on dental records.

Really, this is something which is annoying me at Revleft since the beginning.

I agree that there are certainly "knee-jerk" lefties here. :(

The problem is always verification...because the deliberate falsification of history is a career path in capitalist society.

For example, if someone makes a claim based on "secret Russian archives", how would we be able to verify that? Go to Russia and see for ourselves what the document said? If it existed? If we could read Russian? If we knew the historical context in which the document was written -- i.e., did it really happen or was some bureaucrat just telling his boss what he thought his boss wanted to hear?

Or someone says "this is true" because a former intelligence agent "told me it was true". That is, a guy who's been a professional liar all of his working life is "now to be believed"?

One of my persistent critics on this board makes much of the fact that I frequently rely on plausibility to evaluate questions like this...instead of the "facts".

I do do that...because we live in an age of massive "dis-information". Pretty much everything we see in the media now is a "constructed truth" -- that is, a lie of one kind or another.

So, in this instance, I would ask if it is plausible that the Cubans plotted to assassinate Kennedy?

I don't think the idea makes very good sense.

Not because the Cubans are "too moral" to do such a thing; but because if the Cubans wanted to do some selective assassinations, they had much better targets. There was (and still is) no shortage of significant reactionary figures in Central and South America whose politics would be much improved with a bullet in their skulls.

Not to mention the Gusano Mafia in Miami...a rat's nest of potential targets.

It seems much more plausible to me that if there was a conspiracy involved behind Kennedy's assassination (something I'm not convinced of at all), then it was a conspiracy of Americans...some of whom were likely prominent members of U.S. ruling class itself.

Or, it could well have been a conspiracy involving the Gusano Mafia...which had every reason to bitterly resent Kennedy's failure to "back their play" with U.S. forces at Playa Giron (the "Bay of Pigs").

Meanwhile, remember that the world is "hard" for aging "spooks"...and the temptation to acquire a comfortable retirement by "telling a good story" cannot be underestimated.

The Cubans could retaliate for this "documentary" by seeking out some ex-CIA guys living in exile and offering them a fat check for "a good story".

It doesn't have to be "true"...just entertaining.

I seriously doubt that after 43 years, during which many people have dedicated their whole lives to the Kennedy assassination, there is anything new to be said.

But in a bit I'll look at these "credible witnesses."


It's known that Kennedy was a rampant anti-communist, and did approve numerous plans to murder Castro, he did also approve the the bay of pigs invsaion. So the Cubans would indeed have good reasons to murder Kennedy it seems, just no one would have though that they would actually be able to realize it.

What? How are those good reasons? Revenge? The fact Kennedy was an enemy?

It's part of the ABC of Marxism that assassinations accomplish nothing. They merely replace one ruling-class figure with another, in this case Kennedy with Johnson.

Apparently Oswald, who was mentally unstable, wasn't aware of this. But Castro certainly was, even before he became a Marxist. Remember he never even tried to assassinate Batista! Rather to organize a revolution to overthrow his whole regime.

And over the years since, the Cuban government has not been known for organizing assassination attempts against Latin American dictators, even. Rather for aiding attempts to organize revolutions.


Than again it's questionable wether Castro would have risked a war with the US, which most likey would have meant the end of communist Cuba.

Yeah, exactly. Anyone who knows anything about history - which certainly includes Castro - is aware that assassinations are a great way of whipping up war hysteria. Remember Archduke Ferdinand? Kennedy was a lot more popular.

***
So what is this supposed new evidence? From the Der Spiegel article:

Oscar Marino, a former Cuban secret agent who has broken with Castro, tells the camera that Havana wanted Kennedy dead because "he was an enemy of the Cuban Revolution" -- a sworn and public enemy who had even sent a team of CIA-contracted militants to overthrow Castro in 1961. (That mission failed at the Bay of Pigs.) "Why did we take Oswald?" he says. "There wasn't anyone else. You take what you can get ... Oswald volunteered to kill Kennedy."

Some defectors tell all kinds of BS stories. They are not, by themselves, highly reliable.

A good example is Daniel Alarcon, aka "Benigno", who defected with all kinds of sensational stories about the guerilla efforts led by Che in Bolivia and the Congo. Castaneda's biography of Che leans heavily on Benigno, there was a documentary about him, etc. Then it turns out Benigno wasn't in the Congo, and there are all kinds of other holes and inconsistencies in his stories.

I wasn't able to find anything else on Marino. My point is, nothing major should be based on him until it's possible to check out his veracity.

And what is this "There wasn't anyone else"? Oswald was obviously mentally unstable. Cuban intelligence and state security have all kinds of dedicated, reliable people. Like the Cuban 5 currently in jail for infiltrating deep within anti-Castro groups in the U.S.

And there's certainly no trouble getting Cuban agents into the U.S! Just raft across the Florida Straits and apply for asylum...approval is automatic under the 1962 Cuban adjustment act. Buy a rifle, find a window, wait for the motorcade...set up a getaway plan!....but Marino claims "there wasn't anyone else." Ridiculous.

There's also some reference to documents, described vaguely. Nothing in those descriptions to indicate any documentary evidence that the Cuban government encouraged Oswald to kill Kennnedy.

And that's it, in any of the articles about this documentary, as far as actual evidence the Cuban government did such a thing.

Then there's ham-fisted stuff about the supposed political context, like:

Johnson's attitude, said Haig, was that "we cannot allow the American people to believe that Castro ... had killed Kennedy," because "there would be a right-wing uprising in America which would keep the Democratic Party out of power for two generations.

And there we have the reason this conspiracy theory is still kept alive in U.S. politics. Though it may be this filmmaker's motive is purely financial...sensationalism sells tickets.

Oswald's presence in Mexico City has been confirmed by officials of the Cuban and Soviet embassies. (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/oswald/etc/script.html) 'Course, given the confusion and destruction of documents, photos, and tapes by the CIA, it'd be easy enough for them to have denied it.

They claim: Oswald applied for a visa to return to the USSR, and a transit visa through Cuba to the USSR, but he was refused. A Mexican employee of the Cuban government is among those testifying this...presumably she's outside the control of the Cuban government today.

Certainly if they were going to commission the assassination of a U.S. president, they'd want to conceal their hand better! Rather than meeting with the assassin at their official embassies....

I'll admit there are all kinds of unresolved questions around Oswald and the assassination. When so many people have spend their whole lives trying and failing to resolve them, it's probably better to just move on.

I do not know if you are familliar with "Operation Northwoods". It was a plan by the pentagon to fake terrorism and blame it on the Cubans for an excuse for war. The documents were declassified a few years ago. They wanted to blow up airliners, detonate bombs inside the US and all sorts of pleasant stuff. Hawks want war regardless of the cost, for they do not pay it.

A single loner killed John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King.....

Yeah thats why evidence was covered up and points to multiple assassins in all three cases. No the benevolent government of the United States of America would never assassinate anyone. It takes little or no effort for a small percentage of the wealthy to have the majority of power in the world. Besides they would never harm anyone they perceived as a threat. After all we are all equal here in the USA the land of the free, the home of the brave.

Finally, for any doubt left on this issue, there is a great article I found at Granma international which says a lot about the purpose of the film, and who were behind kennedy's murder.

"One of the collateral objectives of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy was that of liquidating the Cuban Revolution. But this aim was not achieved and that is the underlying reason that 45 years afterwards, the conspiracy continues. The latest machination has rebounded from Germany: "Hamburg, Jan 3 (DPA).—A TV documentary from the German public TV ARD has charged the Cuban Secret Service with the assassination of the U.S. president, John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas.
...The list has been growing since 1963. At that rate, it is unlikely that anyone will be alive to testify. And what is worse, none of those guilty will be alive. Today the shady secret is transparent to everyone apart from those to whom it should be. Because the principal protagonists have acquired a terrible ascendancy over the U.S. government. German Wildried Husimann is no more than another pawn in this chess game. For that reason he is maliciously ignoring these sources. That conspiracy in Hamburg seeks to distract media attention from Luis Posada Carriles in order to release him. Because if Carriles should fulfill his threat to spill everything that he knows, Nixon’s Watergate will appear like a scratch on the surface of the perversity that is being concealed."

Update: The film was aired last friday, and I still haven't seen it. But even the bourgeois media is ripping the film apart, it doesn't seem to be very convincing at all. As already noted above, the reactions from Cuba are angry, the Cuban ambessedor in Germany called the fil a "dirty maneuver" and called the film maker "a mere instrument, a pawn in a worldwide game of chess to discredit Fidel Catro".

Interesting objective by the makers of the film
How is Carriles' case BTW?
Last time I heard, he was moved to an indisclosed location or prison
Venezuela wanted to extradite him and then hand him over to Cuba for a trial, but the US fearing that he would spill the beans regarding the CIA and gov's assistance in many of his terrorist attacks, has continued to protect him thus shutting him up
