Other Persons of Interest

Other Persons of Interest Paulino Sierra Martinez Martinez was a lawyer employed in the legal counsel's office of the Union Tank Car Co. in Chicago. Before his immigration to the United States, worked in Ministry of Communications in Cuba. Carlos Saladrigas (a minister under Batista) had reportedly employed him, He had also worked with Santiago Alvarez Rodriguez, former senator during Batista's regime. Sierra left Havana in 1960 and settled for a time in Miami where he worked as a judo instructor and a translator. Arriving in Miami in May 1963, Sierra scheduled a series of meetings at a local hotel and invited Cuban exile leaders of all political persuasion to discuss unification for the purpose of military invasion of Cuba. Claimed the Chicago backers (casino owners) were willing to lend assistance to the extent of 30 M$... with or without the help of the U.S. gvt. It was widely rumored that the money was actually from "gambling interests" of organized crime. Preliminary research also indicated that the Secret Service in Chicago was investigating a "threat to the President" case at the time of President Kennedy's assassination, in which Paulino Sierra was of interest. Union Tank Car (Rockefeller company) had a greater role in the junta. Sierra was also holding discussions with several "action" groups for assistance in a military operation against Cuba. Among those contacted who reportedly signed "pledges" of support were Aldo Vera Serafin of the militant MAPA group (American Patriotic Action Movement); Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo and Antonio Veciana Blanch of the SNFE-Alpha 66 alliance; Santiago Alvarez Rodriguez of Comandos L; Eduardo Mor Ruiz, an independent anti-Castro Cuban fighter; and Orlando Bosch of MIRR.
Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US

Murder, Arrogance of Power, and the Struggle for Social Dominance in the US The moral cesspool of National Politics Introduction Since leaving a start-up company as a result of the dot-com bust, I have engaged in, among other things, reviewing the literature to try to understand the controversy regarding various, potentially linked, events, including: the murders of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kennedy; Iran-Contra; the PROMIS affair; the October surprise; domestic call-boy—corruption rings; the Panama invasion, and the two Iraq wars. Note: Most people who read the following will find it extremely disturbing, since it shakes our confidence in our basic institutions and leaders. However, I believe that the material below is accurate. It represents a distillation of many books and web references which, though written independently by credible researchers, corroborate each other. Although I have footnoted many of the statements, I chose not to be even more comprehensive to make the document shorter and more readable. It is not enough to just document excesses, though. I plan another white paper to deal with correcting those excesses.1 Initially, two key remedies appear to be: Almost complete transparency in government, and declassification of almost everything over, say, 10 years old. Setting up independent review panels of any federal operations that have the capacity to commit, or allow, significant crimes. Decriminalization of drug possession and distribution. Drug money is funding almost all the illicit activities, and maintaining a web of corruption that is so pervasive that the entire government is dysfunctional2. 1 The revelations in this document are less than a few percent of that convincingly presented in the literature.

Abstract The Cold War is considered as an important aspect of both the history and foreign policy of the United States. It is a term which is used to refer to the intense competition which occurred between the Communist countries or the Eastern Bloc, which was led by the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics and the Western countries or the Western Bloc, which was led by the United States. It began at the end of the Second World War (1945) and lasted until the end of the 1980’s. One of the important crises of the Cold War is The Cuban Missile Crisis , The Caribbean or The October Crisis. It is the confrontation which took place in October 1962 between the United States on one hand and the Soviet Union and Cuba on the other hand.

Independent Voters Fleeing Trump, GOP Braun Using Trump to Shore up His Base, but Risks Losing Suburbanites by BRIAN A

V24, N5 Thursday, Sept. 13, 2018 Independent voters fleeing Trump, GOP Braun using Trump to shore up his base, but risks losing suburbanites By BRIAN A. HOWEY INDIANAPOLIS – To win elections, a candidate has to carry 90% or more of his or her base. And then there are the indepen- dent voters, a group growing as polarization encroaches on the two major parties. With a gangbuster economy and middle class wages finally going up, conven- tional wisdom would be that President Trump would be a mid-term Midas. But the cascading contro- versies have become the new norm with suggest that they will. They come just as Pulitzer Prize- President Trump just two weeks after he journeyed to winning author Bob Woodward began making the first of Indiana to campaign in the U.S. Senate race.

I hereby declare that the work contained within this dissertation has not been submitted to any other university or institution as a part of whole requirement for any other degree. ABSTRACT The critical function of narrative is to reveal character; a process of describing motivation. Without motive we can observe, but not judge, a character’s actions. In 1963, President John Kennedy had many enemies with powerful motives to see him removed, one way or the other, from the administration of the United States. When Kennedy was assassinated, Lee Oswald, the man declared by the Warren Commission to be the assassin, was deemed to have no discernible motive for the crime. Constructing a narrative from the best available evidence offers an instrument revealing Lee Oswald had a motive for actions that did not include the assassination of John Kennedy.

I really hope that you all have a very enjoyable few days, and find the event an interesting and absorbing occasion. Once again we are exceptionally lucky to have a fantastic line-up of speakers to present papers to us on a wide variety of subjects, both from our own members, and several from overseas. A very warm welcome goes to Phil Hopley who has flown in from Australia especially to be with us and to present a paper this weekend. Phil will be talking to us about the Fair Play for Cuba Committee which as you know was a Group apparently supported by Lee Harvey Oswald. The Committee was set up to try to get the US Government to end its economic boycott of Cuba. (Angleton & Harvey took a close interest in its activities). Michele Metta, who very unfortunately could not be with us in person this weekend, is an author and award winning Italian Journalist who lives and works in Rome. We will be showing a documentary that Michele has made, based on his book “CMC - The Italian Undercover CIA and Mossad Station and the Assassination of JFK”.
The Influence of the Central Intelligence Agency in the Formation of the Cold War; 1946-1949

The Influence of the Central Intelligence Agency in the Formation of the Cold War; 1946-1949 By McKenzie Powell Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor John L. Rector Western Oregon University May 28, 2003 Readers Professor Kimberly Jensen Professor Max Geier Copyright © McKenzie Powell, 2003 2 The Influence of the Central Intelligence Agency in the Formation of the Cold War; 1946-1949 I The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) went through many changes before it became the information empire that it is today. The office began as the wartime, Office of Strategic Services (OSS) 1942-1945, and was briefly known as the Central Intelligence Group (CIG) 1946-1947, before the creation of the CIA with the National Security Act of 1947. This massive transformation took place over only three years, caused a large gap in foreign intelligence, and led to CIA official’s miscalculation of when the Soviet Union would acquire atomic weapons. CIA officials believed that it would be three years from 1945 before the Soviet Union had nuclear weapons, however the time span was actually much shorter than that. The leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency shaped the way the American people viewed communism and the Soviet Union by selecting the information that the agency would reveal to the American government and people. The Central Intelligence Agency used the fear of atomic energy to spurn America’s negative view of the Soviet Union and the potential spread of communism. Atomic weapons were a device whose power the United States had witnessed with the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II, and the enemy possessing this devastating power was frightening.
