Yet another hour long doco -- but a very interesting one. Note 'over 70% of the US public don't believe the official story, and they know the media had a hand in the cover-up'. What happened to the missing 7.65 Mauser rifle that was found at the scene by police? Apparently the deputy who reported it was fired, had several attempts on his life, and finally died of a 'suicide' shotgun wound in the early 70s. The report certainly made things difficult for the Warren Commission.
Paraffin tests showed LHO had fired no rifle, but the police quickly reversed the finding to say he HAD fired a rifle. Fingerprints on boxes in the sniper's nest showed many police fingerprints, one unknown man's fingerprints (later matched to Mac Wallace, LBJ's personal hitman) and NO fingerprints from LHO.
There is new information in that doco I haven't heard before that makes a lot of sense and brings the full spectrum of evidence together very convincingly. LHO had been sheep-dipped as a communist and Castro supporter because he was going to be sent to Cuba to assassinate Castro. Hence the films shot of him publicly praising socialism etc, handing out pro-Castro leaflets, along with his earlier trip to Russia, with the idea of getting him into Cuba on a visa as a 'sympathiser' from where he would take a potshot at Castro from a building window. Once that didn't eventuate, they decided to make him a patsy for the JFK hit with a strikingly similar scenario -- and the Company will happily cannibalise its own at any time when expedient. First of all after his arrest you see LHO being tight-lipped and evasive in his answers, seeking to protect his intelligence identity and the others involved -- in line with his training and loyalties up until then -- but as time progressed he woke up to what was happening and realised he'd been thrown under a bus -- already realising some time beforehand that his career wasn't 'progressing' in the Company, and that he might be being set up for something -- then started talking about getting legal representation, knew he'd been stitched up, finally claimed to the press he was a patsy, then shortly afterwards was eliminated by Jack Ruby. You see him getting more and more nervous as time went on and he knew he'd been betrayed and faced an uncertain future through the legal system in a concerted frame-up.
Then there is the further stuff about creating a cancer-causing virus tested and incubated in mice where the plan was to get the virus couriered into Cuba and injected into Castro using a sympathetic medical aide. The attempts at assassination never let up in the 60s. It goes hand in hand with US interference in several South and Central American countries at the time and for several decades following -- involving names like Allende, Pinochet, Noriega, Castro, Guevera, Chavez, and many more -- then there was the WHISC and SOA.
