E. Howard Hunt's Last Confessions Connect LBJ, CIA to JFK Assassination · 596 days ago

It’s becoming harder and harder for even the average citizen to trust the government these days. There is almost daily a scandal involving the Bush Administration or the Justice Department’s unethical and quite often illegal activities in the headlines in the news.

This supposed confession by E. Howard Hunt is an absolute bombshell. That the President of the United States of America was ordered assassinated by his Vice President is a claim that is usually dismissed as a paranoid conspiracy theory. Now it’s likely to be an important piece of information used to help solve the whole mystery of JFK’s assassination.

The same people and their political allies have maintained power in the CIA, congress, and White House through the Watergate and Iran-Contra scandals all the way up through the current War on Terror. The demand for secrecy by the federal government in the interests of “national security” has continued to make it easier and easier for these politicians to cover up their corrupt behavior.

From Rolling Stone

The middle-class son of a Hamburg, New York, attorney, E. Howard Hunt graduated from Brown University in 1940 with a bachelor’s in English, joined the Navy during World War II, served in the North Atlantic on the destroyer Mayo, slipped and fell, took a medical discharge and wound up in China working under “Wild” Bill Donovan in the newly formed Office of Strategic Services. When the OSS was transformed into the CIA, Hunt jumped onboard. He loved action as much as he hated communism, and he soon began operating with a level of arrogance entirely typical of the CIA. He was instrumental, for instance, in planning the 1954 coup in Guatemala that overthrew the left-leaning, democratically elected president, Jacobo Arbenz, and ushered in forty years of military repression, which ultimately cost 200,000 Guatemalans their lives. Years later, when asked about the 200,000 deaths, E. Howard said, “Deaths? What deaths?” Like Saint says, he never felt guilt about anything: “He was a complete self-centered WASP who saw himself as this blue blood from upstate New York. ‘I’m better than anybody because I’m white, Protestant and went to Brown, and since I’m in the CIA, I can do anything I want.’ Jew, nigger, Polack, wop — he used all those racial epithets. He was an elitist. He hated everybody.”
