Gen. Edward Lansdale, CIA & Air Force, very likely in charge of field operations of JFK Assassination


CIA & Air Force Major General Edward Lansdale was probably in operational charge of the JFK assassination in Dallas.

Edward Lansdale’s longtime benefactor was Allen Dulles who later was the de facto head and cover up artist of the Warren Commision farce

Major General Edward Lansdale was probably in operational charge of the assassination in Dallas. JFK did not make him ambassador to Vietnam in 1961, which Lansdale coveted. JFK did make Lansdale the Head of Operation Mongoose which was filled to the brim with CIA and anti-Castro Cubans who hated JFK as much as they hated Fidel Castro.  Here is a photo of Lansdale taken on the sidewalk in front of and just a few feet west of the Texas School Book Depository: ! http://www.apfn.net/dcia/tramps1.jpg [In a conversation on 2/4/2017 Robert Groden, the world’s expert on the film and photography of the JFK assassination, told JFK researcher Robert Morrow that the 3 tramps photos with Lansdale was taken at approximately 1:10PM, a mere 40 minutes after the JFK assassination.]

JFK Researcher Robin Ramsey has come up with a different time for when Lansdale and the 3 tramps photo was taken. Perhaps around 2:30PM – which is two hours after the JFK assassination of 12:30PM.

The more I think about it the more I think the Lansdale photo was closer to 2:30PM than 1:10PM

But the photographs of the ‘tramps’ being marched through the centre of Dallas show very long shadows which, even allowing for it being late November, suggest it was later than 1.15 pm. Have the researchers established when the photographs were taken? Yes, they have. In an essay, ‘Texas Archives’, Gary Mack wrote:

  ‘Researcher Richard Trask located an original negative strip containing two of the Tramp photos. The strip also included a view of the old   Texas School Book Depository building showing its rooftop clock, which read 2.19. Since the Tramp photos appeared next in sequence, that established the earliest time for their arrest. But the exact time had to ascertained another way.

Researcher Greg Jaynes......realized that the sun’s shadows on the building would fall in the same place on every anniversary. So on November 22, 1997, he rigged up a video camera and set his clock timer to record the shadows’ travel across the wall of the building. Jaynes’ tape confirmed that the pictures were all made immediately after 2.19 pm – nearly two hours after the assassination....’10

Another researcher, Don Bailey, in Texas, reported:

‘On November 22, 1993 during the afternoon hours, I took photos of myself to test the shadow length at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 3:30. The 2:30 picture is the closest match of shadow length in the 3 Tramps photos.’11

2.19 pm is about an hour after the news about Tippit’s shooting reached Dallas Police HQ. So officers Bass and Wise either both misremembered the event in 1977 or they were lying. I think they were lying on instruction; because A. J. Weberman has worked through the two sets of interviews (1997 and 1992) and other official documentation and shows that there were two train searches that afternoon and two sets of ‘tramps’ were taken into custody

Fletcher Prouty gives his insights: http://www.prouty.org/letter.html Here is a 3/14/85 letter by Gen. Victor H. Krulak also identifying Edward Lansdale at the TSBD on 11/22/63: http://www.ratical.com/ratville/JFK/USO/appD.html Edward Lansdale, the CIA’s assassinations expert, - his presence in Dallas indicts the CIA.


Also, Wikipedia on Lansdale: : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Lansdale  Forget the 3 tramps, the identification of Lansdale by Fletcher Prouty and General Krulak is the jewel in that photo!

            More on Ed Lansdale and his black warfare in the 1950’s in Vietnam: http://www.historynet.com/ed-lansdales-black-warfare-in-1950s-vietnam.htm

[In the book Edward Lansdale’s Cold War by Jonathan Nashel, there is a picture taken in 1986, the year before Lansdale died, of Lansdale and a bunch of 1980’s Cold Warriors, including Oliver North. [p. 126, Edward Lansdale’s Cold War]. Oliver North considered himself a protégé of Lansdale and referred to himself as “Lansdalian.” The Washington Post says Oliver North “was already Lansdale-ized when he reached the NSC. Oliver North, under the supervision of VP GHW Bush and William Casey, designed an "off-the-shelf, self-sustaining, stand alone" (meaning no congressional oversight) foreign policy of the 1908's. Oliver North had a plan to suspend the U.S. Constitution called Rex 84 Alpha, short for Readiness Exercise 1984. North also had a similar plan called “Operation Sledgehammer.” (See Al Martin’s blockbuster book The Conspirators: Confessions of an Iran-Contra Insider. Jeb Bush and Oliver North come of looking very, very bad in this book.)

Lansdale was the one who ran Operation Mongoose for the Kennedys. More importantly he wrote up Operation Northwoods for the JCS who presented it to JFK. Lansdale called his time on Operation Mongoose the most frustrating thing he ever did. Lansdale worked under Gen. LeMay who referred to the Kennedy people as "cockroaches" in his oral history. H.L. Hunt and D.H. Byrd, ultra rich LBJ supporters, were very close to both LBJ and Gen. LeMay.

 

Byrd founded the Civil Air Patrol which Oswald was in as a teenager. Byrd OWNED the Texas School Book Depository. Oliver North, the man who ran the out of control foreign policy and massive drug smuggling in the 1980's is on the record as saying he patterned himself after Lansdale, the guy who put a bullet in JFK's head. Ollie tried to blame the Sandinistas for running drugs just like Lansdale/CIA tried to blame Fidel Castro for murdering JFK.

 

Nelson Rockefeller was a good friend of both Lyndon Johnson and Gen. Edward Lansdale

 

“Many of the richest families in America learned to avoid drawing attention to themselves - among the Rockefellers for example, only Nelson courted publicity and involved himself personally in covert operations, becoming an intimate friend of General Lansdale and other spooks.” [Sterling and Peggy Seagrave, The Gold Warriors, America’s Secret Recovery of Yamashita’s Gold, p. 266]

 

Robert Anderson - very close to both Lyndon Johnson and Air Force Gen. Edward Lansdale. Gen. Lansdale - a notorious figure in both the CIA and US military intelligence.

 

·      Oliver North modeled himself off of Gen. Lansdale.

·      Texan Robert Anderson - got LBJ his radio station.

·      Gen. Edward Lansdale - a protégé of CIA Allen Dulles who ran the Warren Commission cover up

·      Lansdale - helped to torture the Japanese emperor’s driver to find out where the massive Jap gold stash was.

·      Robert Anderson - helped to launder the massive Jap gold stash.

·      Gen. Lansdale present at Dealey Plaza on 11-22-63

10) Oliver North modeled himself off of Gen. Edward Lansdale.  The “out of control” foreign policy of criminality in the 1980’s modeled on the “out of control” criminal foreign policy of the JFK assassination.

 

11) According to Sterling Seagrave, Lansdale was sent by General Charles Willoughby to the Philippines after the war. Lansdale "joined the torture sessions of Major Kojima Kashii "as an observer and participant". As Seagrave explains: "Since Yamashita had arrived from Manchuria in October 1944 to take over the defense of the Philippines, Kojima had driven him everywhere."

In charge of Kojima’s torture was an intelligence officer named Severino Garcia Diaz Santa Romana (Santy). He wanted Major Kojima to reveal each place to which he had taken General Tomoyuki Yamashita, where bullion and other treasure were hidden." Ray Cline argues that between 1945 and 1947 the gold bullion recovered by Santy and Lansdale was moved by ship to 176 accounts at banks in 42 countries. Robert Anderson and CIA agent Paul Helliwell set up these black gold accounts "providing money for political action funds throughout the noncommunist world."


13) LBJ obviously really ran KTBC and not Lady Bird: https://www.tab.org/convention-and-trade-show/ladybird-johnson

 

 

LBJ put Edward Lansdale in charge of the “pacification program” in Vietnam


David Josephs: Brian - you've really only just touched on the story if you're ending Lansdale's Vietnam presence with his retirement... 

First he's put into the "Food for Peace" program as a consultant and then: 

Lansdale continued to advocate a non-military solution to Vietnam and in 1965, under orders from President Lyndon B. Johnson, the new US ambassador in Saigon, Henry Cabot Lodge, put Lansdale in charge of the "pacification program" in the country. As Newsweek reported: " Lansdale is expected to push hard for a greater effort on the political and economic fronts of the war, while opposing the recent trend bombing and the burning of villages." 

In February 1966 Lansdale was removed from his position in control of the pacification program. However, instead of giving the job to a Vietnamese, William Porter, was given the post. Lansdale was now appointed as a senior liaison officer, with no specific responsibilities.

Gen. Edward Lansdale very likely wrote the Operation Northwoods document. Same Gen. Edward Lansdale who was identified at Dealey Plaza on 11-22-63 by his peers Col. Fletcher Prouty and Gen. Victor Krulak

From authorburns@hotmail.com ( Michael Burns) to Morrow321@aol.com on 2-20-16

Robert,

Here is what I based my theory on. Also, there is periphery evidence: look at page eight (Projection d: "Use a provocation and overthrow the
Castro-Communist regime by U.S. military force.") These are Lansdale's own words!


Now, here is the Northwoods Memo:


The Chief of Operations for the Cuba Project was Lansdale. (Operation Mongoose)

Here's the key memo to this whole thing written by Lansdale:


According to White House logs, Kennedy met with Lemnitzer privately after this meeting on March 16.

If Lansdale was in Dealey Plaza, Valeriano would have been close by...

This appears to be Lansdale's first false flag operation, he murdered Aurora Quezon in order to stir up the people:

"Violent events then changed the rules of habeas corpus. On April 28, 1949, the widow of prewar President Manuel Quezon was on her way by car through the Sierra Madre mountains to inaugurate the Quezon Memorial Hospital in her home town of Baler. She was accompanied by her eldest daughter, and son-in-law. Mrs. Quezon was hugely popular as a ‘queen-mother and patron saint’, but Lansdale considered her a dangerous populist. According to press reports, her small motorcade was “ambushed by 210 Huks under the leadership of Commander Stalin” -- a name dreamed up by Lansdale. Mrs. Quezon, her daughter and son-in-law, all died. The outpouring of grief over their death, blamed on the Huks, made it easy for President Quirino to shut down civil rights in October 1950 by declaring martial law, suspending habeas corpus throughout the country. TIME magazine quoted a Philippine Congressman saying that suspension of habeas corpus was “less to ferret out Communists than to intimidate Quirino critics.”
This outburst of hypocrisy -- punishing the weak for the crimes of the strong -- was a particular sorepoint to the popular Dr. Victor Buencamino, head of the School of Veterinary Science and onetime advisor to President Quezon. His family were among Pampanga’s biggest landowners, with thousands of acres of sugar cane, but he was appalled by what his fellow oligarchs had done to Filipinos:
“It was the task of my generation, under the leadership of Quezon, to seek the independence of this country. Then came the war, and something snapped. It was patriotic to steal from the enemy; to sabotage him. The only trouble was that long after the war was over, the stealing orgy went on, not the least among those in positions of authority. The desire to possess material things became a pervasive obsession. The prewar brand of integrity seems to have been destroyed. Vote buying became more rampant. Terrorism reigned, often with the acquiescence of the men at the top. Quezon once said he’d rather have a government run like hell by the Filipinos than a government run like heaven by the Americans. It is a tragedy that a government run like hell came so soon.”
For Lansdale, Bohannan, and Valeriano, it was only a test-run for Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and all of Central America."

From Sterling Seagraves

also this:


Sterling Seagrave:

"According to a Pentagon study of documents recently declassified, Lansdale told Bohannan explicitly: “I have the charges, you invent the facts!”

There were careers to be boosted, great sums to be misappropriated by the U.S. Congress for the new anti-communist crusade. As Lansdale pointed out many times, this was best done by stirring the pot, and scaring everyone.

“If there isn’t fire,” he told Bohannan, “we’ll light one.” If the Huks were not sufficiently ‘marxist’ or sufficiently ‘terrorist’, Lansdale and Bohannan would and did stage all the acts of terror needed, using special units of the Philippine Army pretending to be Huks, while Lansdale’s movie cameras filmed the attacks. (See THE MARCOS DYNASTY for the bizarre details.)"

 

The JFK assassination was the ultimate expression of Operation Northwoods: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

 

The LBJ/Israeli attack on the USS Liberty was yet another egregious enactment of Operation Northwoods, except they called it Operation Cyanide.

 

Stunning Operation Northwoods memo: http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/Northwoods.html

The JCS Operation Northwoods proposed these false flag attacks to provoke a war with Cuba

 

2. A series of well coordinated incidents will be planned

to take place in and around Guantanamo to give genuine

appearance of being done by hostile Cuban forces.

 

      a. Incidents to establish a credible attack (not in

   chronilogical order):

 

         (1) Start rumors (many). Use clandestine radio.

 

         (2) Land friendly Cubans in uniform "over-the-fence"

      to stage attack on the base.

 

         (3) Capture Cuban (friendly) sabateurs inside the

      base.

 

         (4) Start riots near the entrance to the base (friendly

      Cubans).

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 11

         (5) Blow up ammunition inside the base; start fires.

 

         (6) Burn aircraft on airbase (sabatage).

 

         (7) Lob morter shells from outside of base into base.

      Some damage to installations.

 

         (8) Capture assault teams approaching from the sea

      of vicinity of Guantanamo City.

 

         (9) Capture militia group which storms the base.

 

        (10) Sabotage ship in harbor; large fires -- napthalene.

 

        (11) Sink ship near harbor entrance. Conduct funerals

      for mock-victims (may be lieu of (10)).

 

      b. United States would respond by executing offensive

   operations to secure water and power supplies, destroying

   artillery and mortar emplacements which threaten the base.

 

      c. Commence large scale United States military operations.

 

   3. A "Remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in

several forms:

 

      a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo Bay and

   blame Cuba.

 

      b. We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere

   in the Cuban waters. We could arrange to cause such incident

   in the vicinity of Havana or Santiago as a spectacular result

   of Cuban attack from the air or sea, or both.  The presense

   of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of

   the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship

   was taken under attack.  The nearness to Havana or Santiago

   would add credibility especially to those people that might

   have heard the blast or have seen the fire.  The US could

   follow with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US

   fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existant

   crew. Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful

   wave of national indignation.

 

   4. We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in

the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington.

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 12

The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking

haven in the United States.  We could sink a boatload of Cubans

enroute to Florida (real or simulated). We could foster attempts

on lives of Cuban refugees in the United States even to the

extent of wounding in instances to be widely publicized.

Exploding a few plastic bombs in carefully chosen spots, the

arrest of Cuban agents and the release of prepared documents

substantiating Cuban involvement also would be helpful in

projecting the idea of an irresponsible government.

 

   5. A "Cuban-based, Castro-supported" filibuster could be

simulated against a neighboring Caribbean nation (in the vein

of the 14th of June invasion of the Dominican Republic). We

know that Castro is backing subversive efforts clandestinely

against Haiti, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Nicaragua at

present and possible others.  These efforts can be magnified and

additional ones contrived for exposure.  For example, advantage

can be taken of the sensitivity of the Dominican Air Force to

intrusions within their national air space.  "Cuban" B-26 or

C-46 type aircraft could make cane-burning raids at night.

Soviet Bloc incidiaries could be found.  This could be coupled

with "Cuban" messages to the Communist underground in the

Dominican Republic and "Cuban" shipments of arms which would

be found, or intercepted, on the beach.

 

   6. Use of MIG type aircraft by US pilots could provide

additional provocation.  Harassment of civil air, attacks on

surface shipping and destruction of US military drone aircraft

by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary actions.

An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they

saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were

to announce such fact.  The primary drawback to this suggestion

appears to be the security risk inherent in obtaining or modify-

ing an aircraft.  However, reasonable copies of the MIG could

be purchased from US resources in about three months.

Appendix to
Enclosure A

Page 13

   7. Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craft

should appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by the

government of Cuba.  Concurrently, genuine defections of Cuban

civil and military air and surface craft should be encouraged.

 

   8. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrate

convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down

a chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States to

Jamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela.  The destination would

be chosen only to cause the flight plan   route to cross Cuba.

The passengers could be a group of college students off on a

holiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest to

support chartering a non-scheduled flight.

 

      a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and

   numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered

   aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the

   Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be

   subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be

   loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under

   carefully prepared aliases.  The actual registered

   aircraft would be converted to a drone.

 

      b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual

   aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of

   Florida.  From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying

   aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly

   into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will

   have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the

   aircraft to its original status.  The drone aircraft

   meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan.  When

   over Cuba the drone will being transmitting on the inter-

   national distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he

   is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft.  The transmission

   will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will

   be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio

   stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what

   has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to

   "sell" the incident.

 

   9. It is possible to create an incident which will make it

appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft

over international waters in an unprovoked attack.

 

      a. Approximately 4 of 5 F-101 aircraft will be dispatched

   in trail from Homestead AFB, Florida, to the vicinity of Cuba.

   Their mission will be to reverse course and simulate fakir

   aircraft for an air defense exercise in southern Florida.

   These aircraft would conduct variations of these flights at

   frequent intervals. Crews would be briefed to remain at

   least 12 miles off the Cuban coast; however, they would be

   required to carry live ammunition in the event that hostile

   actions were taken by the Cuban MIGs.

 

      b. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly

   tail-end Charley at considerable interval between aircraft.

   While near the Cuban Island this pilot would broadcast that

   he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. No other

   calls would be made.  The pilot would then fly directly

   west at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an

   Eglin auxiliary.  The aircraft would be met by the proper

   people, quickly stored and given a new tail number. The

   pilot who had performed the mission under an alias, would

   resume his proper identity and return to his normal place

   of business.  The pilot and aircraft would then have

   disappeared.

  

      c. At precisely the same time that the aircraft was

   presumably shot down a submarine or small surface craft

   would disburse F-101 parts, parachute, etc., at approximately

   15 to 20 miles off the Cuban coast and depart.  The pilots

   retuning to Homestead would have a true story as far as

   they knew.  Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched

   and parts of aircraft found.

 

Lyndon Johnson in late 1964 was urging Gen. Maxwell Taylor to let Gen. Edward Lansdale and CIA station chief Lucien Conein help him on Vietnam

Author H.R. McMaster:

            Although Taylor objected to the introduction of ground combat units, he observed that the current situation in Vietnam demanded some sort of action: “We are presently on a losing track” and “must risk a change.” He rejected the president’s hint that old Vietnam hands like Gen. Edward Lansdale and CIA station chief Lucien Conein might assist him. No one would be able to “change national characteristics, create leadership where it does not exist, raise large additional combat forces or seal porous borders to infiltration.”

[H.R. McMaster, Dereliction of Duty: Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara, The Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Lies that Led to Vietnam, p. 205]

            The McMaster passage was based on footnote 24 of Chapter 10. Maxwell Taylor, Telegram for the President 6 January 1965.
